1 THUS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, AND ALL
AND OUT OF THE GROUND THE LORD GOD FORMED EVERY BEAST OF
THE HOST OF THEM. 2 AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS
THE FIELD, AND EVERY FOWL OF THE AIR; AND BROUGHT THEM
WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY
UNTO ADAM TO SEE WHAT HE WOULD CALL THEM: AND
FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE. 3 AND GOD BLESSED
WHATSOEVER ADAM CALLED EVERY LIVING CREATURE, THAT WAS
THE SEVENTH DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT: BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD
THE NAME THEREOF. 20 AND ADAM GAVE NAMES TO ALL CATTLE,
RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE. 4
AND TO THE FOWL OF THE AIR, AND TO EVERY BEAST OF THE FIELD;
THESE ARE THE GENERATIONS OF THE HEAVENS AND OF THE EARTH
BUT FOR ADAM THERE WAS NOT FOUND AN HELP MEET FOR HIM. 21
WHEN THEY WERE CREATED, IN THE DAY THAT THE LORD GOD MADE
AND THE LORD GOD CAUSED A DEEP SLEEP TO FALL UPON ADAM,
THE EARTH AND THE HEAVENS, 5 AND EVERY PLANT OF THE FIELD
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
BEFORE IT GREW: FOR THE LORD GOD HAD NOT CAUSED IT TO RAIN
HAD TAKEN FROM MAN, MADE HE A WOMAN, AND BROUGHT HER
UPON THE EARTH, AND THERE WAS NOT A MAN TO TILL THE

GROUND. 6 BUT THERE WENT UP A MIST FROM THE EARTH, AND
BONES, AND FLESH OF MY FLESH: SHE SHALL BE CALLED WOMAN,
WATERED THE WHOLE FACE OF THE GROUND. 7 AND THE LORD GOD
BECAUSE SHE WAS TAKEN OUT OF MAN. 24 THEREFORE SHALL A
FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND BREATHED INTO
MAN LEAVE HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER, AND SHALL CLEAVE
HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; AND MAN BECAME A LIVING
UNTO HIS WIFE: AND THEY SHALL BE ONE FLESH. 25 AND THEY

ASHAMED.
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
KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. 10 AND A RIVER WENT OUT OF
EDEN TO WATER THE GARDEN; AND FROM THENCE IT WAS PARTED,
AND BECAME INTO FOUR HEADS. 11 THE NAME OF THE FIRST IS
PISON: THAT IS IT WHICH COMPASSETH THE WHOLE LAND OF
HAVILAH, WHERE THERE IS GOLD; 12 AND THE GOLD OF THAT LAND
IS GOOD: THERE IS BDELLIUM AND THE ONYX STONE. 13 AND THE
NAME OF THE SECOND RIVER IS GIHON: THE SAME IS IT THAT
COMPASSETH THE WHOLE LAND OF ETHIOPIA. 14 AND THE NAME OF
THE THIRD RIVER IS HIDDEKEL: THAT IS IT WHICH GOETH TOWARD
THE EAST OF ASSYRIA. AND THE FOURTH RIVER IS EUPHRATES. 15
AND THE LORD GOD TOOK THE MAN, AND PUT HIM INTO THE

THE LORD GOD SAID UNTO THE WOMAN, WHAT IS THIS THAT THOU
HAST DONE? AND THE WOMAN SAID, THE SERPENT BEGUILED ME,

ABRAM DROVE THEM AWAY. 12 AND WHEN THE SUN WAS GOING

GREAT DARKNESS FELL UPON HIM. 13 AND HE SAID UNTO ABRAM,
KNOW OF A SURETY THAT THY SEED SHALL BE A STRANGER IN A
LAND THAT IS NOT THEIRS, AND SHALL SERVE THEM; AND THEY
SHALL AFFLICT THEM FOUR HUNDRED YEARS; 14 AND ALSO THAT
NATION, WHOM THEY SHALL SERVE, WILL I JUDGE: AND

TEN YEARS IN THE LAND OF CANAAN, AND GAVE HER TO HER
HUSBAND ABRAM TO BE HIS WIFE. 4 AND HE WENT IN UNTO HAGAR,

THE FACE OF MY MISTRESS SARAI. 9 AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD
SAID UNTO HER, RETURN TO THY MISTRESS, AND SUBMIT THYSELF
UNDER HER HANDS. 10 AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD SAID UNTO
HER, I WILL MULTIPLY THY SEED EXCEEDINGLY, THAT IT SHALL NOT
BE NUMBERED FOR MULTITUDE. 11 AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD

DEAL WISELY WITH THEM; LEST THEY MULTIPLY, AND IT COME TO
PASS, THAT, WHEN THERE FALLETH OUT ANY WAR, THEY JOIN ALSO

TASKMASTERS TO AFFLICT THEM WITH THEIR BURDENS. AND THEY
BUILT FOR PHARAOH TREASURE CITIES, PITHOM AND RAAMSES. 12
BUT THE MORE THEY AFFLICTED THEM, THE MORE THEY MULTIPLIED

WITH HARD BONDAGE, IN MORTER, AND IN BRICK, AND IN ALL
MANNER OF SERVICE IN THE FIELD: ALL THEIR SERVICE, WHEREIN
THEY MADE THEM SERVE, WAS WITH RIGOUR. 15 AND THE KING OF
EGYPT SPAKE TO THE HEBREW MIDWIVES, OF WHICH THE NAME OF

HEBREW WOMEN, AND SEE THEM UPON THE STOOLS; IF IT BE A SON,
THEN YE SHALL KILL HIM: BUT IF IT BE A DAUGHTER, THEN SHE
SHALL LIVE. 17 BUT THE MIDWIVES FEARED GOD, AND DID NOT AS
THE KING OF EGYPT COMMANDED THEM, BUT SAVED THE MEN
CHILDREN ALIVE. 18 AND THE KING OF EGYPT CALLED FOR THE

MOSES WAS GROWN, THAT HE WENT OUT UNTO HIS BRETHREN,
AND LOOKED ON THEIR BURDENS: AND HE SPIED AN EGYPTIAN
SMITING AN HEBREW, ONE OF HIS BRETHREN. 12 AND HE LOOKED
THIS WAY AND THAT WAY, AND WHEN HE SAW THAT THERE WAS NO
MAN, HE SLEW THE EGYPTIAN, AND HID HIM IN THE SAND. 13 AND
WHEN HE WENT OUT THE SECOND DAY, BEHOLD, TWO MEN OF THE
HEBREWS STROVE TOGETHER: AND HE SAID TO HIM THAT DID THE
WRONG, WHEREFORE SMITEST THOU THY FELLOW? 14 AND HE SAID,

POUR IT UPON THE DRY LAND: AND THE WATER WHICH THOU
MET HIM, AND SOUGHT TO KILL HIM. 25 THEN ZIPPORAH TOOK A
TAKEST OUT OF THE RIVER SHALL BECOME BLOOD UPON THE DRY
SHARP STONE, AND CUT OFF THE FORESKIN OF HER SON, AND CAST
LAND. 10 AND MOSES SAID UNTO THE LORD, O MY LORD, I AM NOT
IT AT HIS FEET, AND SAID, SURELY A BLOODY HUSBAND ART THOU
ELOQUENT, NEITHER HERETOFORE, NOR SINCE THOU HAST SPOKEN
TO ME. 26 SO HE LET HIM GO: THEN SHE SAID, A BLOODY HUSBAND
UNTO THY SERVANT: BUT I AM SLOW OF SPEECH, AND OF A SLOW
THOU ART, BECAUSE OF THE CIRCUMCISION. 27 AND THE LORD SAID
TONGUE. 11 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO HIM, WHO HATH MADE

SEEING, OR THE BLIND? HAVE NOT I THE LORD? 12 NOW THEREFORE
AND MOSES TOLD AARON ALL THE WORDS OF THE LORD WHO HAD

SENT HIM, AND ALL THE SIGNS WHICH HE HAD COMMANDED HIM.
SHALT SAY. 13 AND HE SAID, O MY LORD, SEND, I PRAY THEE, BY

THE HAND OF HIM WHOM THOU WILT SEND. 14 AND THE ANGER OF
THE ELDERS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL: 30 AND AARON SPAKE
THE LORD WAS KINDLED AGAINST MOSES, AND HE SAID, IS NOT

 EXODUS
ALL THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD HAD SPOKEN UNTO MOSES, AND
DID THE SIGNS IN THE SIGHT OF THE PEOPLE. 31 AND THE PEOPLE
BELIEVED: AND WHEN THEY HEARD THAT THE LORD HAD VISITED
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND THAT HE HAD LOOKED UPON THEIR
AFFLICTION, THEN THEY BOWED THEIR HEADS AND WORSHIPPED.

77
 EXODUS
OF ISRAEL CAME AND CRIED UNTO PHARAOH, SAYING, WHEREFORE
CHAPTER 5 DEALEST THOU THUS WITH THY SERVANTS? 16 THERE IS NO STRAW
GIVEN UNTO THY SERVANTS, AND THEY SAY TO US, MAKE BRICK:
AND, BEHOLD, THY SERVANTS ARE BEATEN; BUT THE FAULT IS IN
AND AFTERWARD MOSES AND AARON WENT IN, AND TOLD PHARAOH,
THINE OWN PEOPLE. 17 BUT HE SAID, YE ARE IDLE, YE ARE IDLE:
THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, LET MY PEOPLE GO, THAT
THEREFORE YE SAY, LET US GO AND DO SACRIFICE TO THE LORD. 18
THEY MAY HOLD A FEAST UNTO ME IN THE WILDERNESS. 2 AND
GO THEREFORE NOW, AND WORK; FOR THERE SHALL NO STRAW BE
PHARAOH SAID, WHO IS THE LORD, THAT I SHOULD OBEY HIS VOICE
GIVEN YOU, YET SHALL YE DELIVER THE TALE OF BRICKS. 19 AND
TO LET ISRAEL GO? I KNOW NOT THE LORD, NEITHER WILL I LET
THE OFFICERS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID SEE THAT THEY
ISRAEL GO. 3 AND THEY SAID, THE GOD OF THE HEBREWS HATH MET
WERE IN EVIL CASE, AFTER IT WAS SAID, YE SHALL NOT MINISH
WITH US: LET US GO, WE PRAY THEE, THREE DAYS’ JOURNEY INTO
OUGHT FROM YOUR BRICKS OF YOUR DAILY TASK. 20 AND THEY MET
THE DESERT, AND SACRIFICE UNTO THE LORD OUR GOD; LEST HE
MOSES AND AARON, WHO STOOD IN THE WAY, AS THEY CAME FORTH
FALL UPON US WITH PESTILENCE, OR WITH THE SWORD. 4 AND THE
FROM PHARAOH: 21 AND THEY SAID UNTO THEM, THE LORD LOOK
KING OF EGYPT SAID UNTO THEM, WHEREFORE DO YE, MOSES AND
UPON YOU, AND JUDGE; BECAUSE YE HAVE MADE OUR SAVOUR TO
AARON, LET THE PEOPLE FROM THEIR WORKS? GET YOU UNTO YOUR

BURDENS. 5 AND PHARAOH SAID, BEHOLD, THE PEOPLE OF THE
SERVANTS, TO PUT A SWORD IN THEIR HAND TO SLAY US. 22 AND
LAND NOW ARE MANY, AND YE MAKE THEM REST FROM THEIR
MOSES RETURNED UNTO THE LORD, AND SAID, LORD, WHEREFORE

HAST THOU SO EVIL ENTREATED THIS PEOPLE? WHY IS IT THAT THOU
TASKMASTERS OF THE PEOPLE, AND THEIR OFFICERS, SAYING, 7 YE
HAST SENT ME? 23 FOR SINCE I CAME TO PHARAOH TO SPEAK IN THY

NAME, HE HATH DONE EVIL TO THIS PEOPLE; NEITHER HAST THOU
HERETOFORE: LET THEM GO AND GATHER STRAW FOR THEMSELVES.
DELIVERED THY PEOPLE AT ALL.
8 AND THE TALE OF THE BRICKS, WHICH THEY DID MAKE
HERETOFORE, YE SHALL LAY UPON THEM; YE SHALL NOT DIMINISH
OUGHT THEREOF: FOR THEY BE IDLE; THEREFORE THEY CRY, SAYING,
LET US GO AND SACRIFICE TO OUR GOD. 9 LET THERE MORE WORK
BE LAID UPON THE MEN, THAT THEY MAY LABOUR THEREIN; AND
LET THEM NOT REGARD VAIN WORDS. 10 AND THE TASKMASTERS OF
THE PEOPLE WENT OUT, AND THEIR OFFICERS, AND THEY SPAKE TO
THE PEOPLE, SAYING, THUS SAITH PHARAOH, I WILL NOT GIVE YOU
STRAW. 11 GO YE, GET YOU STRAW WHERE YE CAN FIND IT: YET NOT
OUGHT OF YOUR WORK SHALL BE DIMINISHED. 12 SO THE PEOPLE
WERE SCATTERED ABROAD THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND OF EGYPT
TO GATHER STUBBLE INSTEAD OF STRAW. 13 AND THE TASKMASTERS
HASTED THEM, SAYING, FULFIL YOUR WORKS, YOUR DAILY TASKS,
AS WHEN THERE WAS STRAW. 14 AND THE OFFICERS OF THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, WHICH PHARAOH’S TASKMASTERS HAD SET
OVER THEM, WERE BEATEN, AND DEMANDED, WHEREFORE HAVE YE
NOT FULFILLED YOUR TASK IN MAKING BRICK BOTH YESTERDAY AND
TO DAY, AS HERETOFORE? 15 THEN THE OFFICERS OF THE CHILDREN

WHOM THE LORD SAID, BRING OUT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM
ISRAEL: BUT THEY HEARKENED NOT UNTO MOSES FOR ANGUISH OF
THE LAND OF EGYPT ACCORDING TO THEIR ARMIES. 27 THESE ARE

THAT THE LORD HAD SMITTEN THE RIVER.
THEIR RODS. 13 AND HE HARDENED PHARAOH’S HEART, THAT HE
HEARKENED NOT UNTO THEM; AS THE LORD HAD SAID. 14 AND THE
LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, PHARAOH’S HEART IS HARDENED, HE
REFUSETH TO LET THE PEOPLE GO. 15 GET THEE UNTO PHARAOH IN
THE MORNING; LO, HE GOETH OUT UNTO THE WATER; AND THOU
SHALT STAND BY THE RIVER’S BRINK AGAINST HE COME; AND THE

CHAPTER 8 HARDENED HIS HEART, AND HEARKENED NOT UNTO THEM; AS THE
LORD HAD SAID. 16 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, SAY UNTO
AARON, STRETCH OUT THY ROD, AND SMITE THE DUST OF THE LAND,
AND THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES, GO UNTO PHARAOH, AND SAY
THAT IT MAY BECOME LICE THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND OF EGYPT.
UNTO HIM, THUS SAITH THE LORD, LET MY PEOPLE GO, THAT THEY

SWARMS OF FLIES, AND ALSO THE GROUND WHEREON THEY ARE. 22
SAID, INTREAT THE LORD, THAT HE MAY TAKE AWAY THE FROGS
AND I WILL SEVER IN THAT DAY THE LAND OF GOSHEN, IN WHICH
FROM ME, AND FROM MY PEOPLE; AND I WILL LET THE PEOPLE GO,
MY PEOPLE DWELL, THAT NO SWARMS OF FLIES SHALL BE THERE;
THAT THEY MAY DO SACRIFICE UNTO THE LORD. 9 AND MOSES SAID
TO THE END THOU MAYEST KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD IN THE

MIDST OF THE EARTH. 23 AND I WILL PUT A DIVISION BETWEEN MY

THE HOUSES, OUT OF THE VILLAGES, AND OUT OF THE FIELDS. 14
SACRIFICE TO THE LORD OUR GOD, AS HE SHALL COMMAND US. 28
AND THEY GATHERED THEM TOGETHER UPON HEAPS: AND THE LAND

AND PHARAOH SAID, I WILL LET YOU GO, THAT YE MAY SACRIFICE
TO THE LORD YOUR GOD IN THE WILDERNESS; ONLY YE SHALL NOT
GO VERY FAR AWAY: INTREAT FOR ME. 29 AND MOSES SAID, BEHOLD,
I GO OUT FROM THEE, AND I WILL INTREAT THE LORD THAT THE
SWARMS OF FLIES MAY DEPART FROM PHARAOH, FROM HIS
SERVANTS, AND FROM HIS PEOPLE, TO MORROW: BUT LET NOT
PHARAOH DEAL DECEITFULLY ANY MORE IN NOT LETTING THE
PEOPLE GO TO SACRIFICE TO THE LORD. 30 AND MOSES WENT OUT
FROM PHARAOH, AND INTREATED THE LORD. 31 AND THE LORD DID
ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF MOSES; AND HE REMOVED THE
SWARMS OF FLIES FROM PHARAOH, FROM HIS SERVANTS, AND
FROM HIS PEOPLE; THERE REMAINED NOT ONE. 32 AND PHARAOH
HARDENED HIS HEART AT THIS TIME ALSO, NEITHER WOULD HE LET
THE PEOPLE GO.

STAY NO LONGER. 29 AND MOSES SAID UNTO HIM, AS SOON AS I AM
GONE OUT OF THE CITY, I WILL SPREAD ABROAD MY HANDS UNTO
THE LORD; AND THE THUNDER SHALL CEASE, NEITHER SHALL THERE
BE ANY MORE HAIL; THAT THOU MAYEST KNOW HOW THAT THE
EARTH IS THE LORD’S. 30 BUT AS FOR THEE AND THY SERVANTS, I
KNOW THAT YE WILL NOT YET FEAR THE LORD GOD. 31 AND THE
FLAX AND THE BARLEY WAS SMITTEN: FOR THE BARLEY WAS IN THE
EAR, AND THE FLAX WAS BOLLED. 32 BUT THE WHEAT AND THE RIE
WERE NOT SMITTEN: FOR THEY WERE NOT GROWN UP. 33 AND
MOSES WENT OUT OF THE CITY FROM PHARAOH, AND SPREAD
ABROAD HIS HANDS UNTO THE LORD: AND THE THUNDERS AND HAIL
CEASED, AND THE RAIN WAS NOT POURED UPON THE EARTH. 34 AND
WHEN PHARAOH SAW THAT THE RAIN AND THE HAIL AND THE
THUNDERS WERE CEASED, HE SINNED YET MORE, AND HARDENED
HIS HEART, HE AND HIS SERVANTS. 35 AND THE HEART OF PHARAOH
WAS HARDENED, NEITHER WOULD HE LET THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL

SON, WHAT THINGS I HAVE WROUGHT IN EGYPT, AND MY SIGNS
WERE THEY; BEFORE THEM THERE WERE NO SUCH LOCUSTS AS THEY,
WHICH I HAVE DONE AMONG THEM; THAT YE MAY KNOW HOW THAT
NEITHER AFTER THEM SHALL BE SUCH. 15 FOR THEY COVERED THE

WILDERNESS OF SIN, WHICH IS BETWEEN ELIM AND SINAI, ON THE
THAT LAY WAS GONE UP, BEHOLD, UPON THE FACE OF THE
FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE SECOND MONTH AFTER THEIR DEPARTING
WILDERNESS THERE LAY A SMALL ROUND THING, AS SMALL AS THE
OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT. 2 AND THE WHOLE CONGREGATION OF
HOAR FROST ON THE GROUND. 15 AND WHEN THE CHILDREN OF
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL MURMURED AGAINST MOSES AND AARON
ISRAEL SAW IT, THEY SAID ONE TO ANOTHER, IT IS MANNA: FOR
IN THE WILDERNESS: 3 AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SAID UNTO
THEY WIST NOT WHAT IT WAS. AND MOSES SAID UNTO THEM, THIS
THEM, WOULD TO GOD WE HAD DIED BY THE HAND OF THE LORD IN
IS THE BREAD WHICH THE LORD HATH GIVEN YOU TO EAT. 16 THIS
THE LAND OF EGYPT, WHEN WE SAT BY THE FLESH POTS, AND WHEN
IS THE THING WHICH THE LORD HATH COMMANDED, GATHER OF IT
WE DID EAT BREAD TO THE FULL; FOR YE HAVE BROUGHT US FORTH
EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS EATING, AN OMER FOR EVERY MAN,
INTO THIS WILDERNESS, TO KILL THIS WHOLE ASSEMBLY WITH
ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF YOUR PERSONS; TAKE YE EVERY
HUNGER. 4 THEN SAID THE LORD UNTO MOSES, BEHOLD, I WILL
MAN FOR THEM WHICH ARE IN HIS TENTS. 17 AND THE CHILDREN
RAIN BREAD FROM HEAVEN FOR YOU; AND THE PEOPLE SHALL GO
OF ISRAEL DID SO, AND GATHERED, SOME MORE, SOME LESS. 18 AND
OUT AND GATHER A CERTAIN RATE EVERY DAY, THAT I MAY PROVE
WHEN THEY DID METE IT WITH AN OMER, HE THAT GATHERED MUCH
THEM, WHETHER THEY WILL WALK IN MY LAW, OR NO. 5 AND IT
HAD NOTHING OVER, AND HE THAT GATHERED LITTLE HAD NO LACK;
SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT ON THE SIXTH DAY THEY SHALL
THEY GATHERED EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS EATING. 19 AND
PREPARE THAT WHICH THEY BRING IN; AND IT SHALL BE TWICE AS
MOSES SAID, LET NO MAN LEAVE OF IT TILL THE MORNING. 20
MUCH AS THEY GATHER DAILY. 6 AND MOSES AND AARON SAID
NOTWITHSTANDING THEY HEARKENED NOT UNTO MOSES; BUT
UNTO ALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AT EVEN, THEN YE SHALL
SOME OF THEM LEFT OF IT UNTIL THE MORNING, AND IT BRED
KNOW THAT THE LORD HATH BROUGHT YOU OUT FROM THE LAND
WORMS, AND STANK: AND MOSES WAS WROTH WITH THEM. 21 AND
OF EGYPT: 7 AND IN THE MORNING, THEN YE SHALL SEE THE GLORY
THEY GATHERED IT EVERY MORNING, EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO
OF THE LORD; FOR THAT HE HEARETH YOUR MURMURINGS AGAINST
HIS EATING: AND WHEN THE SUN WAXED HOT, IT MELTED. 22 AND
THE LORD: AND WHAT ARE WE, THAT YE MURMUR AGAINST US? 8
IT CAME TO PASS, THAT ON THE SIXTH DAY THEY GATHERED TWICE
AND MOSES SAID, THIS SHALL BE, WHEN THE LORD SHALL GIVE YOU
AS MUCH BREAD, TWO OMERS FOR ONE MAN: AND ALL THE RULERS
IN THE EVENING FLESH TO EAT, AND IN THE MORNING BREAD TO
OF THE CONGREGATION CAME AND TOLD MOSES. 23 AND HE SAID
THE FULL; FOR THAT THE LORD HEARETH YOUR MURMURINGS
UNTO THEM, THIS IS THAT WHICH THE LORD HATH SAID, TO
WHICH YE MURMUR AGAINST HIM: AND WHAT ARE WE? YOUR
MORROW IS THE REST OF THE HOLY SABBATH UNTO THE LORD: BAKE
MURMURINGS ARE NOT AGAINST US, BUT AGAINST THE LORD. 9 AND
THAT WHICH YE WILL BAKE TO DAY, AND SEETHE THAT YE WILL
MOSES SPAKE UNTO AARON, SAY UNTO ALL THE CONGREGATION OF
SEETHE; AND THAT WHICH REMAINETH OVER LAY UP FOR YOU TO
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, COME NEAR BEFORE THE LORD: FOR HE
BE KEPT UNTIL THE MORNING. 24 AND THEY LAID IT UP TILL THE
HATH HEARD YOUR MURMURINGS. 10 AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS
MORNING, AS MOSES BADE: AND IT DID NOT STINK, NEITHER WAS
AARON SPAKE UNTO THE WHOLE CONGREGATION OF THE CHILDREN
THERE ANY WORM THEREIN. 25 AND MOSES SAID, EAT THAT TO DAY;
OF ISRAEL, THAT THEY LOOKED TOWARD THE WILDERNESS, AND,
FOR TO DAY IS A SABBATH UNTO THE LORD: TO DAY YE SHALL NOT
BEHOLD, THE GLORY OF THE LORD APPEARED IN THE CLOUD. 11 AND
FIND IT IN THE FIELD. 26 SIX DAYS YE SHALL GATHER IT; BUT ON THE
THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES, SAYING, 12 I HAVE HEARD THE
94
 EXODUS
SEVENTH DAY, WHICH IS THE SABBATH, IN IT THERE SHALL BE NONE.
27 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT THERE WENT OUT SOME OF THE
PEOPLE ON THE SEVENTH DAY FOR TO GATHER, AND THEY FOUND
NONE. 28 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, HOW LONG REFUSE YE
TO KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS AND MY LAWS? 29 SEE, FOR THAT
THE LORD HATH GIVEN YOU THE SABBATH, THEREFORE HE GIVETH
YOU ON THE SIXTH DAY THE BREAD OF TWO DAYS; ABIDE YE EVERY
MAN IN HIS PLACE, LET NO MAN GO OUT OF HIS PLACE ON THE
SEVENTH DAY. 30 SO THE PEOPLE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY. 31
AND THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL CALLED THE NAME THEREOF MANNA:
AND IT WAS LIKE CORIANDER SEED, WHITE; AND THE TASTE OF IT
WAS LIKE WAFERS MADE WITH HONEY. 32 AND MOSES SAID, THIS IS
THE THING WHICH THE LORD COMMANDETH, FILL AN OMER OF IT
TO BE KEPT FOR YOUR GENERATIONS; THAT THEY MAY SEE THE
BREAD WHEREWITH I HAVE FED YOU IN THE WILDERNESS, WHEN I
BROUGHT YOU FORTH FROM THE LAND OF EGYPT. 33 AND MOSES
SAID UNTO AARON, TAKE A POT, AND PUT AN OMER FULL OF MANNA
THEREIN, AND LAY IT UP BEFORE THE LORD, TO BE KEPT FOR YOUR
GENERATIONS. 34 AS THE LORD COMMANDED MOSES, SO AARON
LAID IT UP BEFORE THE TESTIMONY, TO BE KEPT. 35 AND THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID EAT MANNA FORTY YEARS, UNTIL THEY
CAME TO A LAND INHABITED; THEY DID EAT MANNA, UNTIL THEY
CAME UNTO THE BORDERS OF THE LAND OF CANAAN. 36 NOW AN
OMER IS THE TENTH PART OF AN EPHAH.

95
 EXODUS
13 AND JOSHUA DISCOMFITED AMALEK AND HIS PEOPLE WITH THE
CHAPTER 17 EDGE OF THE SWORD. 14 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, WRITE
THIS FOR A MEMORIAL IN A BOOK, AND REHEARSE IT IN THE EARS
OF JOSHUA: FOR I WILL UTTERLY PUT OUT THE REMEMBRANCE OF
AND ALL THE CONGREGATION OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
AMALEK FROM UNDER HEAVEN. 15 AND MOSES BUILT AN ALTAR,
JOURNEYED FROM THE WILDERNESS OF SIN, AFTER THEIR
AND CALLED THE NAME OF IT JEHOVAH-NISSI: 16 FOR HE SAID,
JOURNEYS, ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD, AND
BECAUSE THE LORD HATH SWORN THAT THE LORD WILL HAVE WAR
PITCHED IN REPHIDIM: AND THERE WAS NO WATER FOR THE PEOPLE
WITH AMALEK FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.
TO DRINK. 2 WHEREFORE THE PEOPLE DID CHIDE WITH MOSES, AND
SAID, GIVE US WATER THAT WE MAY DRINK. AND MOSES SAID UNTO
THEM, WHY CHIDE YE WITH ME? WHEREFORE DO YE TEMPT THE
LORD? 3 AND THE PEOPLE THIRSTED THERE FOR WATER; AND THE
PEOPLE MURMURED AGAINST MOSES, AND SAID, WHEREFORE IS
THIS THAT THOU HAST BROUGHT US UP OUT OF EGYPT, TO KILL US
AND OUR CHILDREN AND OUR CATTLE WITH THIRST? 4 AND MOSES
CRIED UNTO THE LORD, SAYING, WHAT SHALL I DO UNTO THIS
PEOPLE? THEY BE ALMOST READY TO STONE ME. 5 AND THE LORD
SAID UNTO MOSES, GO ON BEFORE THE PEOPLE, AND TAKE WITH
THEE OF THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL; AND THY ROD, WHEREWITH THOU
SMOTEST THE RIVER, TAKE IN THINE HAND, AND GO. 6 BEHOLD, I
WILL STAND BEFORE THEE THERE UPON THE ROCK IN HOREB; AND
THOU SHALT SMITE THE ROCK, AND THERE SHALL COME WATER OUT
OF IT, THAT THE PEOPLE MAY DRINK. AND MOSES DID SO IN THE
SIGHT OF THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL. 7 AND HE CALLED THE NAME OF
THE PLACE MASSAH, AND MERIBAH, BECAUSE OF THE CHIDING OF
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND BECAUSE THEY TEMPTED THE LORD,
SAYING, IS THE LORD AMONG US, OR NOT? 8 THEN CAME AMALEK,
AND FOUGHT WITH ISRAEL IN REPHIDIM. 9 AND MOSES SAID UNTO
JOSHUA, CHOOSE US OUT MEN, AND GO OUT, FIGHT WITH AMALEK:
TO MORROW I WILL STAND ON THE TOP OF THE HILL WITH THE ROD
OF GOD IN MINE HAND. 10 SO JOSHUA DID AS MOSES HAD SAID TO
HIM, AND FOUGHT WITH AMALEK: AND MOSES, AARON, AND HUR
WENT UP TO THE TOP OF THE HILL. 11 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN
MOSES HELD UP HIS HAND, THAT ISRAEL PREVAILED: AND WHEN HE
LET DOWN HIS HAND, AMALEK PREVAILED. 12 BUT MOSES’ HANDS
WERE HEAVY; AND THEY TOOK A STONE, AND PUT IT UNDER HIM,
AND HE SAT THEREON; AND AARON AND HUR STAYED UP HIS HANDS,
THE ONE ON THE ONE SIDE, AND THE OTHER ON THE OTHER SIDE;
AND HIS HANDS WERE STEADY UNTIL THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN.
96
 EXODUS
THIS THING THAT THOU DOEST TO THE PEOPLE? WHY SITTEST THOU
CHAPTER 18 THYSELF ALONE, AND ALL THE PEOPLE STAND BY THEE FROM
MORNING UNTO EVEN? 15 AND MOSES SAID UNTO HIS FATHER IN
LAW, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE COME UNTO ME TO INQUIRE OF GOD:
WHEN JETHRO, THE PRIEST OF MIDIAN, MOSES’ FATHER IN LAW,
16 WHEN THEY HAVE A MATTER, THEY COME UNTO ME; AND I JUDGE
HEARD OF ALL THAT GOD HAD DONE FOR MOSES, AND FOR ISRAEL
BETWEEN ONE AND ANOTHER, AND I DO MAKE THEM KNOW THE
HIS PEOPLE, AND THAT THE LORD HAD BROUGHT ISRAEL OUT OF
STATUTES OF GOD, AND HIS LAWS. 17 AND MOSES’ FATHER IN LAW
EGYPT; 2 THEN JETHRO, MOSES’ FATHER IN LAW, TOOK ZIPPORAH,
SAID UNTO HIM, THE THING THAT THOU DOEST IS NOT GOOD. 18
MOSES’ WIFE, AFTER HE HAD SENT HER BACK, 3 AND HER TWO SONS;
THOU WILT SURELY WEAR AWAY, BOTH THOU, AND THIS PEOPLE
OF WHICH THE NAME OF THE ONE WAS GERSHOM; FOR HE SAID, I
THAT IS WITH THEE: FOR THIS THING IS TOO HEAVY FOR THEE; THOU
HAVE BEEN AN ALIEN IN A STRANGE LAND: 4 AND THE NAME OF THE
ART NOT ABLE TO PERFORM IT THYSELF ALONE. 19 HEARKEN NOW
OTHER WAS ELIEZER; FOR THE GOD OF MY FATHER, SAID HE, WAS
UNTO MY VOICE, I WILL GIVE THEE COUNSEL, AND GOD SHALL BE
MINE HELP, AND DELIVERED ME FROM THE SWORD OF PHARAOH: 5
WITH THEE: BE THOU FOR THE PEOPLE TO GOD-WARD, THAT THOU
AND JETHRO, MOSES’ FATHER IN LAW, CAME WITH HIS SONS AND
MAYEST BRING THE CAUSES UNTO GOD: 20 AND THOU SHALT TEACH
HIS WIFE UNTO MOSES INTO THE WILDERNESS, WHERE HE
THEM ORDINANCES AND LAWS, AND SHALT SHEW THEM THE WAY
ENCAMPED AT THE MOUNT OF GOD: 6 AND HE SAID UNTO MOSES, I
WHEREIN THEY MUST WALK, AND THE WORK THAT THEY MUST DO.
THY FATHER IN LAW JETHRO AM COME UNTO THEE, AND THY WIFE,
21 MOREOVER THOU SHALT PROVIDE OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE ABLE
AND HER TWO SONS WITH HER. 7 AND MOSES WENT OUT TO MEET
MEN, SUCH AS FEAR GOD, MEN OF TRUTH, HATING COVETOUSNESS;
HIS FATHER IN LAW, AND DID OBEISANCE, AND KISSED HIM; AND
AND PLACE SUCH OVER THEM, TO BE RULERS OF THOUSANDS, AND
THEY ASKED EACH OTHER OF THEIR WELFARE; AND THEY CAME INTO
RULERS OF HUNDREDS, RULERS OF FIFTIES, AND RULERS OF TENS:
THE TENT. 8 AND MOSES TOLD HIS FATHER IN LAW ALL THAT THE
22 AND LET THEM JUDGE THE PEOPLE AT ALL SEASONS: AND IT
LORD HAD DONE UNTO PHARAOH AND TO THE EGYPTIANS FOR
SHALL BE, THAT EVERY GREAT MATTER THEY SHALL BRING UNTO
ISRAEL’S SAKE, AND ALL THE TRAVAIL THAT HAD COME UPON THEM
THEE, BUT EVERY SMALL MATTER THEY SHALL JUDGE: SO SHALL IT
BY THE WAY, AND HOW THE LORD DELIVERED THEM. 9 AND JETHRO
BE EASIER FOR THYSELF, AND THEY SHALL BEAR THE BURDEN WITH
REJOICED FOR ALL THE GOODNESS WHICH THE LORD HAD DONE TO
THEE. 23 IF THOU SHALT DO THIS THING, AND GOD COMMAND THEE
ISRAEL, WHOM HE HAD DELIVERED OUT OF THE HAND OF THE
SO, THEN THOU SHALT BE ABLE TO ENDURE, AND ALL THIS PEOPLE
EGYPTIANS. 10 AND JETHRO SAID, BLESSED BE THE LORD, WHO
SHALL ALSO GO TO THEIR PLACE IN PEACE. 24 SO MOSES
HATH DELIVERED YOU OUT OF THE HAND OF THE EGYPTIANS, AND
HEARKENED TO THE VOICE OF HIS FATHER IN LAW, AND DID ALL
OUT OF THE HAND OF PHARAOH, WHO HATH DELIVERED THE
THAT HE HAD SAID. 25 AND MOSES CHOSE ABLE MEN OUT OF ALL
PEOPLE FROM UNDER THE HAND OF THE EGYPTIANS. 11 NOW I
ISRAEL, AND MADE THEM HEADS OVER THE PEOPLE, RULERS OF
KNOW THAT THE LORD IS GREATER THAN ALL GODS: FOR IN THE
THOUSANDS, RULERS OF HUNDREDS, RULERS OF FIFTIES, AND
THING WHEREIN THEY DEALT PROUDLY HE WAS ABOVE THEM. 12
RULERS OF TENS. 26 AND THEY JUDGED THE PEOPLE AT ALL
AND JETHRO, MOSES’ FATHER IN LAW, TOOK A BURNT OFFERING
SEASONS: THE HARD CAUSES THEY BROUGHT UNTO MOSES, BUT
AND SACRIFICES FOR GOD: AND AARON CAME, AND ALL THE ELDERS
EVERY SMALL MATTER THEY JUDGED THEMSELVES. 27 AND MOSES
OF ISRAEL, TO EAT BREAD WITH MOSES’ FATHER IN LAW BEFORE
LET HIS FATHER IN LAW DEPART; AND HE WENT HIS WAY INTO HIS
GOD. 13 AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE MORROW, THAT MOSES SAT
OWN LAND.
TO JUDGE THE PEOPLE: AND THE PEOPLE STOOD BY MOSES FROM
THE MORNING UNTO THE EVENING. 14 AND WHEN MOSES’ FATHER
IN LAW SAW ALL THAT HE DID TO THE PEOPLE, HE SAID, WHAT IS
97
 EXODUS
SOUNDETH LONG, THEY SHALL COME UP TO THE MOUNT. 14 AND
CHAPTER 19 MOSES WENT DOWN FROM THE MOUNT UNTO THE PEOPLE, AND
SANCTIFIED THE PEOPLE; AND THEY WASHED THEIR CLOTHES. 15
AND HE SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE, BE READY AGAINST THE THIRD DAY:
IN THE THIRD MONTH, WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE GONE
COME NOT AT YOUR WIVES. 16 AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE THIRD
FORTH OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, THE SAME DAY CAME THEY INTO
DAY IN THE MORNING, THAT THERE WERE THUNDERS AND
THE WILDERNESS OF SINAI. 2 FOR THEY WERE DEPARTED FROM
LIGHTNINGS, AND A THICK CLOUD UPON THE MOUNT, AND THE
REPHIDIM, AND WERE COME TO THE DESERT OF SINAI, AND HAD
VOICE OF THE TRUMPET EXCEEDING LOUD; SO THAT ALL THE PEOPLE
PITCHED IN THE WILDERNESS; AND THERE ISRAEL CAMPED BEFORE
THAT WAS IN THE CAMP TREMBLED. 17 AND MOSES BROUGHT
THE MOUNT. 3 AND MOSES WENT UP UNTO GOD, AND THE LORD
FORTH THE PEOPLE OUT OF THE CAMP TO MEET WITH GOD; AND
CALLED UNTO HIM OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN, SAYING, THUS SHALT
THEY STOOD AT THE NETHER PART OF THE MOUNT. 18 AND MOUNT
THOU SAY TO THE HOUSE OF JACOB, AND TELL THE CHILDREN OF
SINAI WAS ALTOGETHER ON A SMOKE, BECAUSE THE LORD
ISRAEL; 4 YE HAVE SEEN WHAT I DID UNTO THE EGYPTIANS, AND
DESCENDED UPON IT IN FIRE: AND THE SMOKE THEREOF ASCENDED
HOW I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, AND BROUGHT YOU UNTO
AS THE SMOKE OF A FURNACE, AND THE WHOLE MOUNT QUAKED
MYSELF. 5 NOW THEREFORE, IF YE WILL OBEY MY VOICE INDEED,
GREATLY. 19 AND WHEN THE VOICE OF THE TRUMPET SOUNDED
AND KEEP MY COVENANT, THEN YE SHALL BE A PECULIAR TREASURE
LONG, AND WAXED LOUDER AND LOUDER, MOSES SPAKE, AND GOD
UNTO ME ABOVE ALL PEOPLE: FOR ALL THE EARTH IS MINE: 6 AND
ANSWERED HIM BY A VOICE. 20 AND THE LORD CAME DOWN UPON
YE SHALL BE UNTO ME A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS, AND AN HOLY
MOUNT SINAI, ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNT: AND THE LORD CALLED
NATION. THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH THOU SHALT SPEAK UNTO
MOSES UP TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNT; AND MOSES WENT UP. 21
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. 7 AND MOSES CAME AND CALLED FOR
AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, GO DOWN, CHARGE THE PEOPLE,
THE ELDERS OF THE PEOPLE, AND LAID BEFORE THEIR FACES ALL
LEST THEY BREAK THROUGH UNTO THE LORD TO GAZE, AND MANY
THESE WORDS WHICH THE LORD COMMANDED HIM. 8 AND ALL THE
OF THEM PERISH. 22 AND LET THE PRIESTS ALSO, WHICH COME
PEOPLE ANSWERED TOGETHER, AND SAID, ALL THAT THE LORD
NEAR TO THE LORD, SANCTIFY THEMSELVES, LEST THE LORD BREAK
HATH SPOKEN WE WILL DO. AND MOSES RETURNED THE WORDS OF
FORTH UPON THEM. 23 AND MOSES SAID UNTO THE LORD, THE
THE PEOPLE UNTO THE LORD. 9 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES,
PEOPLE CANNOT COME UP TO MOUNT SINAI: FOR THOU CHARGEDST
LO, I COME UNTO THEE IN A THICK CLOUD, THAT THE PEOPLE MAY
US, SAYING, SET BOUNDS ABOUT THE MOUNT, AND SANCTIFY IT. 24
HEAR WHEN I SPEAK WITH THEE, AND BELIEVE THEE FOR EVER. AND
AND THE LORD SAID UNTO HIM, AWAY, GET THEE DOWN, AND THOU
MOSES TOLD THE WORDS OF THE PEOPLE UNTO THE LORD. 10 AND
SHALT COME UP, THOU, AND AARON WITH THEE: BUT LET NOT THE
THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, GO UNTO THE PEOPLE, AND SANCTIFY
PRIESTS AND THE PEOPLE BREAK THROUGH TO COME UP UNTO THE
THEM TO DAY AND TO MORROW, AND LET THEM WASH THEIR
LORD, LEST HE BREAK FORTH UPON THEM. 25 SO MOSES WENT
CLOTHES, 11 AND BE READY AGAINST THE THIRD DAY: FOR THE
DOWN UNTO THE PEOPLE, AND SPAKE UNTO THEM.
THIRD DAY THE LORD WILL COME DOWN IN THE SIGHT OF ALL THE
PEOPLE UPON MOUNT SINAI. 12 AND THOU SHALT SET BOUNDS
UNTO THE PEOPLE ROUND ABOUT, SAYING, TAKE HEED TO
YOURSELVES, THAT YE GO NOT UP INTO THE MOUNT, OR TOUCH THE
BORDER OF IT: WHOSOEVER TOUCHETH THE MOUNT SHALL BE
SURELY PUT TO DEATH: 13 THERE SHALL NOT AN HAND TOUCH IT,
BUT HE SHALL SURELY BE STONED, OR SHOT THROUGH; WHETHER
IT BE BEAST OR MAN, IT SHALL NOT LIVE: WHEN THE TRUMPET
98
 EXODUS
BUT LET NOT GOD SPEAK WITH US, LEST WE DIE. 20 AND MOSES
CHAPTER 20 SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE, FEAR NOT: FOR GOD IS COME TO PROVE
YOU, AND THAT HIS FEAR MAY BE BEFORE YOUR FACES, THAT YE SIN
NOT. 21 AND THE PEOPLE STOOD AFAR OFF, AND MOSES DREW NEAR
AND GOD SPAKE ALL THESE WORDS, SAYING, 2 I AM THE LORD THY
UNTO THE THICK DARKNESS WHERE GOD WAS. 22 AND THE LORD
GOD, WHICH HAVE BROUGHT THEE OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT,
SAID UNTO MOSES, THUS THOU SHALT SAY UNTO THE CHILDREN OF
OUT OF THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE. 3 THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER
ISRAEL, YE HAVE SEEN THAT I HAVE TALKED WITH YOU FROM
GODS BEFORE ME. 4 THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY
HEAVEN. 23 YE SHALL NOT MAKE WITH ME GODS OF SILVER,
GRAVEN IMAGE, OR ANY LIKENESS OF ANY THING THAT IS IN
NEITHER SHALL YE MAKE UNTO YOU GODS OF GOLD. 24 AN ALTAR
HEAVEN ABOVE, OR THAT IS IN THE EARTH BENEATH, OR THAT IS IN
OF EARTH THOU SHALT MAKE UNTO ME, AND SHALT SACRIFICE
THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH: 5 THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN
THEREON THY BURNT OFFERINGS, AND THY PEACE OFFERINGS, THY
THYSELF TO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM: FOR I THE LORD THY GOD AM
SHEEP, AND THINE OXEN: IN ALL PLACES WHERE I RECORD MY
A JEALOUS GOD, VISITING THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE
NAME I WILL COME UNTO THEE, AND I WILL BLESS THEE. 25 AND IF
CHILDREN UNTO THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATION OF THEM
THOU WILT MAKE ME AN ALTAR OF STONE, THOU SHALT NOT BUILD
THAT HATE ME; 6 AND SHEWING MERCY UNTO THOUSANDS OF
IT OF HEWN STONE: FOR IF THOU LIFT UP THY TOOL UPON IT, THOU
THEM THAT LOVE ME, AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. 7 THOU
HAST POLLUTED IT. 26 NEITHER SHALT THOU GO UP BY STEPS UNTO
SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN; FOR
MINE ALTAR, THAT THY NAKEDNESS BE NOT DISCOVERED THEREON.
THE LORD WILL NOT HOLD HIM GUILTLESS THAT TAKETH HIS NAME
IN VAIN. 8 REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY. 9 SIX
DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK: 10 BUT THE
SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF 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 IS WITHIN THY GATES: 11 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 SHALT
NOT KILL. 14 THOU SHALT 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 NEIGHBOUR’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 THUNDERINGS, AND THE LIGHTNINGS, AND THE NOISE OF
THE TRUMPET, AND THE MOUNTAIN SMOKING: AND WHEN THE
PEOPLE SAW IT, THEY REMOVED, AND STOOD AFAR OFF. 19 AND
THEY SAID UNTO MOSES, SPEAK THOU WITH US, AND WE WILL HEAR:

AND SAID, TO MORROW IS A FEAST TO THE LORD. 6 AND THEY ROSE
OF THEM THAT SING DO I HEAR. 19 AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS SOON
UP EARLY ON THE MORROW, AND OFFERED BURNT OFFERINGS, AND
AS HE CAME NIGH UNTO THE CAMP, THAT HE SAW THE CALF, AND
BROUGHT PEACE OFFERINGS; AND THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT
THE DANCING: AND MOSES’ ANGER WAXED HOT, AND HE CAST THE

TABLES OUT OF HIS HANDS, AND BRAKE THEM BENEATH THE
MOSES, GO, GET THEE DOWN; FOR THY PEOPLE, WHICH THOU
MOUNT. 20 AND HE TOOK THE CALF WHICH THEY HAD MADE, AND
BROUGHTEST OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, HAVE CORRUPTED
BURNT IT IN THE FIRE, AND GROUND IT TO POWDER, AND STRAWED

MOLTEN CALF, AND HAVE WORSHIPPED IT, AND HAVE SACRIFICED
UNTO THEE, THAT THOU HAST BROUGHT SO GREAT A SIN UPON
THEREUNTO, AND SAID, THESE BE THY GODS, O ISRAEL, WHICH

ANY GOLD, LET THEM BREAK IT OFF. SO THEY GAVE IT ME: THEN I
DOTH THY WRATH WAX HOT AGAINST THY PEOPLE, WHICH THOU
CAST IT INTO THE FIRE, AND THERE CAME OUT THIS CALF. 25 AND
HAST BROUGHT FORTH OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT WITH GREAT

EVERY MAN HIS NEIGHBOUR. 28 AND THE CHILDREN OF LEVI DID
ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF MOSES: AND THERE FELL OF THE
PEOPLE THAT DAY ABOUT THREE THOUSAND MEN. 29 FOR MOSES
HAD SAID, CONSECRATE YOURSELVES TO DAY TO THE LORD, EVEN
EVERY MAN UPON HIS SON, AND UPON HIS BROTHER; THAT HE MAY
BESTOW UPON YOU A BLESSING THIS DAY. 30 AND IT CAME TO PASS
ON THE MORROW, THAT MOSES SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE, YE HAVE
SINNED A GREAT SIN: AND NOW I WILL GO UP UNTO THE LORD;
PERADVENTURE I SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR YOUR SIN. 31
AND MOSES RETURNED UNTO THE LORD, AND SAID, OH, THIS
PEOPLE HAVE SINNED A GREAT SIN, AND HAVE MADE THEM GODS
OF GOLD. 32 YET NOW, IF THOU WILT FORGIVE THEIR SIN—; AND IF
NOT, BLOT ME, I PRAY THEE, OUT OF THY BOOK WHICH THOU HAST

SINNED AGAINST ME, HIM WILL I BLOT OUT OF MY BOOK. 34
THEREFORE NOW GO, LEAD THE PEOPLE UNTO THE PLACE OF WHICH
I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO THEE: BEHOLD, MINE ANGEL SHALL GO

THE RIVER EUPHRATES. 8 BEHOLD, I HAVE SET THE LAND BEFORE
YOU, ONE OF A TRIBE: 24 AND THEY TURNED AND WENT UP INTO
YOU: GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND WHICH THE LORD SWARE UNTO
THE MOUNTAIN, AND CAME UNTO THE VALLEY OF ESHCOL, AND
YOUR FATHERS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, TO GIVE UNTO THEM
SEARCHED IT OUT. 25 AND THEY TOOK OF THE FRUIT OF THE LAND
AND TO THEIR SEED AFTER THEM. 9 AND I SPAKE UNTO YOU AT THAT
IN THEIR HANDS, AND BROUGHT IT DOWN UNTO US, AND BROUGHT
TIME, SAYING, I AM NOT ABLE TO BEAR YOU MYSELF ALONE: 10 THE
US WORD AGAIN, AND SAID, IT IS A GOOD LAND WHICH THE LORD
LORD YOUR GOD HATH MULTIPLIED YOU, AND, BEHOLD, YE ARE THIS
OUR GOD DOTH GIVE US. 26 NOTWITHSTANDING YE WOULD NOT GO
DAY AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN FOR MULTITUDE. 11 (THE LORD GOD
UP, BUT REBELLED AGAINST THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD
OF YOUR FATHERS MAKE YOU A THOUSAND TIMES SO MANY MORE
YOUR GOD: 27 AND YE MURMURED IN YOUR TENTS, AND SAID,
AS YE ARE, AND BLESS YOU, AS HE HATH PROMISED YOU!) 12 HOW
BECAUSE THE LORD HATED US, HE HATH BROUGHT US FORTH OUT
CAN I MYSELF ALONE BEAR YOUR CUMBRANCE, AND YOUR BURDEN,
OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, TO DELIVER US INTO THE HAND OF THE
AND YOUR STRIFE? 13 TAKE YOU WISE MEN, AND UNDERSTANDING,
AMORITES, TO DESTROY US. 28 WHITHER SHALL WE GO UP? OUR
AND KNOWN AMONG YOUR TRIBES, AND I WILL MAKE THEM RULERS
BRETHREN HAVE DISCOURAGED OUR HEART, SAYING, THE PEOPLE
OVER YOU. 14 AND YE ANSWERED ME, AND SAID, THE THING WHICH
IS GREATER AND TALLER THAN WE; THE CITIES ARE GREAT AND
THOU HAST SPOKEN IS GOOD FOR US TO DO. 15 SO I TOOK THE CHIEF
WALLED UP TO HEAVEN; AND MOREOVER WE HAVE SEEN THE SONS
OF YOUR TRIBES, WISE MEN, AND KNOWN, AND MADE THEM HEADS
OF THE ANAKIMS THERE. 29 THEN I SAID UNTO YOU, DREAD NOT,
OVER YOU, CAPTAINS OVER THOUSANDS, AND CAPTAINS OVER
NEITHER BE AFRAID OF THEM. 30 THE LORD YOUR GOD WHICH
HUNDREDS, AND CAPTAINS OVER FIFTIES, AND CAPTAINS OVER
GOETH BEFORE YOU, HE SHALL FIGHT FOR YOU, ACCORDING TO ALL
3
 DEUTERONOMY
THAT HE DID FOR YOU IN EGYPT BEFORE YOUR EYES; 31 AND IN THE VOICE, NOR GIVE EAR UNTO YOU. 46 SO YE ABODE IN KADESH MANY
WILDERNESS, WHERE THOU HAST SEEN HOW THAT THE LORD THY DAYS, ACCORDING UNTO THE DAYS THAT YE ABODE THERE.
GOD BARE THEE, AS A MAN DOTH BEAR HIS SON, IN ALL THE WAY
THAT YE WENT, UNTIL YE CAME INTO THIS PLACE. 32 YET IN THIS
THING YE DID NOT BELIEVE THE LORD YOUR GOD, 33 WHO WENT IN
THE WAY BEFORE YOU, TO SEARCH YOU OUT A PLACE TO PITCH YOUR
TENTS IN, IN FIRE BY NIGHT, TO SHEW YOU BY WHAT WAY YE
SHOULD GO, AND IN A CLOUD BY DAY. 34 AND THE LORD HEARD THE
VOICE OF YOUR WORDS, AND WAS WROTH, AND SWARE, SAYING, 35
SURELY THERE SHALL NOT ONE OF THESE MEN OF THIS EVIL
GENERATION SEE THAT GOOD LAND, WHICH I SWARE TO GIVE UNTO
YOUR FATHERS, 36 SAVE CALEB THE SON OF JEPHUNNEH; HE SHALL
SEE IT, AND TO HIM WILL I GIVE THE LAND THAT HE HATH TRODDEN
UPON, AND TO HIS CHILDREN, BECAUSE HE HATH WHOLLY
FOLLOWED THE LORD. 37 ALSO THE LORD WAS ANGRY WITH ME FOR
YOUR SAKES, SAYING, THOU ALSO SHALT NOT GO IN THITHER. 38
BUT JOSHUA THE SON OF NUN, WHICH STANDETH BEFORE THEE, HE
SHALL GO IN THITHER: ENCOURAGE HIM: FOR HE SHALL CAUSE
ISRAEL TO INHERIT IT. 39 MOREOVER YOUR LITTLE ONES, WHICH YE
SAID SHOULD BE A PREY, AND YOUR CHILDREN, WHICH IN THAT DAY
HAD NO KNOWLEDGE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, THEY SHALL GO IN
THITHER, AND UNTO THEM WILL I GIVE IT, AND THEY SHALL
POSSESS IT. 40 BUT AS FOR YOU, TURN YOU, AND TAKE YOUR
JOURNEY INTO THE WILDERNESS BY THE WAY OF THE RED SEA. 41
THEN YE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO ME, WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST
THE LORD, WE WILL GO UP AND FIGHT, ACCORDING TO ALL THAT
THE LORD OUR GOD COMMANDED US. AND WHEN YE HAD GIRDED
ON EVERY MAN HIS WEAPONS OF WAR, YE WERE READY TO GO UP
INTO THE HILL. 42 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO ME, SAY UNTO THEM,
GO NOT UP, NEITHER FIGHT; FOR I AM NOT AMONG YOU; LEST YE BE
SMITTEN BEFORE YOUR ENEMIES. 43 SO I SPAKE UNTO YOU; AND YE
WOULD NOT HEAR, BUT REBELLED AGAINST THE COMMANDMENT
OF THE LORD, AND WENT PRESUMPTUOUSLY UP INTO THE HILL. 44
AND THE AMORITES, WHICH DWELT IN THAT MOUNTAIN, CAME OUT
AGAINST YOU, AND CHASED YOU, AS BEES DO, AND DESTROYED YOU
IN SEIR, EVEN UNTO HORMAH. 45 AND YE RETURNED AND WEPT
BEFORE THE LORD; BUT THE LORD WOULD NOT HEARKEN TO YOUR

 DEUTERONOMY
WAS THIRTY AND EIGHT YEARS; UNTIL ALL THE GENERATION OF THE
CHAPTER 2 MEN OF WAR WERE WASTED OUT FROM AMONG THE HOST, AS THE
LORD SWARE UNTO THEM. 15 FOR INDEED THE HAND OF THE LORD
WAS AGAINST THEM, TO DESTROY THEM FROM AMONG THE HOST,
THEN WE TURNED, AND TOOK OUR JOURNEY INTO THE WILDERNESS
UNTIL THEY WERE CONSUMED. 16 SO IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN ALL
BY THE WAY OF THE RED SEA, AS THE LORD SPAKE UNTO ME: AND
THE MEN OF WAR WERE CONSUMED AND DEAD FROM AMONG THE
WE COMPASSED MOUNT SEIR MANY DAYS. 2 AND THE LORD SPAKE
PEOPLE, 17 THAT THE LORD SPAKE UNTO ME, SAYING, 18 THOU ART
UNTO ME, SAYING, 3 YE HAVE COMPASSED THIS MOUNTAIN LONG
TO PASS OVER THROUGH AR, THE COAST OF MOAB, THIS DAY: 19
ENOUGH: TURN YOU NORTHWARD. 4 AND COMMAND THOU THE

WILL NOT GIVE THEE OF THE LAND OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON
THEY SHALL BE AFRAID OF YOU: TAKE YE GOOD HEED UNTO

RIVER ARNON: BEHOLD, I HAVE GIVEN INTO THINE HAND SIHON THE

AMORITE, KING OF HESHBON, AND HIS LAND: BEGIN TO POSSESS IT,
THEM IN BATTLE: FOR I WILL NOT GIVE THEE OF THEIR LAND FOR A

REPORT OF THEE, AND SHALL TREMBLE, AND BE IN ANGUISH
WHICH ALSO WERE ACCOUNTED GIANTS, AS THE ANAKIMS; BUT THE

MOABITES CALL THEM EMIMS. 12 THE HORIMS ALSO DWELT IN SEIR
WILDERNESS OF KEDEMOTH UNTO SIHON KING OF HESHBON WITH

WORDS OF PEACE, SAYING, 27 LET ME PASS THROUGH THY LAND: I

FOR MONEY, THAT I MAY EAT; AND GIVE ME WATER FOR MONEY,
SAID I, AND GET YOU OVER THE BROOK ZERED. AND WE WENT OVER
THAT I MAY DRINK: ONLY I WILL PASS THROUGH ON MY FEET; 29 (AS

BUT SIHON KING OF HESHBON WOULD NOT LET US PASS BY HIM:
FOR THE LORD THY GOD HARDENED HIS SPIRIT, AND MADE HIS
HEART OBSTINATE, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER HIM INTO THY HAND,
AS APPEARETH THIS DAY. 31 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO ME, BEHOLD,
I HAVE BEGUN TO GIVE SIHON AND HIS LAND BEFORE THEE: BEGIN
TO POSSESS, THAT THOU MAYEST INHERIT HIS LAND. 32 THEN SIHON
CAME OUT AGAINST US, HE AND ALL HIS PEOPLE, TO FIGHT AT JAHAZ.
33 AND THE LORD OUR GOD DELIVERED HIM BEFORE US; AND WE
SMOTE HIM, AND HIS SONS, AND ALL HIS PEOPLE. 34 AND WE TOOK
ALL HIS CITIES AT THAT TIME, AND UTTERLY DESTROYED THE MEN,
AND THE WOMEN, AND THE LITTLE ONES, OF EVERY CITY, WE LEFT
NONE TO REMAIN: 35 ONLY THE CATTLE WE TOOK FOR A PREY UNTO
OURSELVES, AND THE SPOIL OF THE CITIES WHICH WE TOOK. 36
FROM AROER, WHICH IS BY THE BRINK OF THE RIVER OF ARNON,
AND FROM THE CITY THAT IS BY THE RIVER, EVEN UNTO GILEAD,
THERE WAS NOT ONE CITY TOO STRONG FOR US: THE LORD OUR GOD
DELIVERED ALL UNTO US: 37 ONLY UNTO THE LAND OF THE

UNWALLED TOWNS A GREAT MANY. 6 AND WE UTTERLY DESTROYED

PEOPLE, SAYING, 11 PASS THROUGH THE HOST, AND COMMAND THE
PEOPLE, SAYING, PREPARE YOU VICTUALS; FOR WITHIN THREE DAYS
YE SHALL PASS OVER THIS JORDAN, TO GO IN TO POSSESS THE LAND,
WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD GIVETH YOU TO POSSESS IT. 12 AND TO

 JOSHUA
OF JORDAN, THAT THE WATERS OF JORDAN SHALL BE CUT OFF FROM
CHAPTER 3 THE WATERS THAT COME DOWN FROM ABOVE; AND THEY SHALL
STAND UPON AN HEAP. 14 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE PEOPLE
REMOVED FROM THEIR TENTS, TO PASS OVER JORDAN, AND THE
AND JOSHUA ROSE EARLY IN THE MORNING; AND THEY REMOVED
PRIESTS BEARING THE ARK OF THE COVENANT BEFORE THE PEOPLE;
FROM SHITTIM, AND CAME TO JORDAN, HE AND ALL THE CHILDREN
15 AND AS THEY THAT BARE THE ARK WERE COME UNTO JORDAN,
OF ISRAEL, AND LODGED THERE BEFORE THEY PASSED OVER. 2 AND
AND THE FEET OF THE PRIESTS THAT BARE THE ARK WERE DIPPED
IT CAME TO PASS AFTER THREE DAYS, THAT THE OFFICERS WENT
IN THE BRIM OF THE WATER, (FOR JORDAN OVERFLOWETH ALL HIS

BANKS ALL THE TIME OF HARVEST,) 16 THAT THE WATERS WHICH
SAYING, WHEN YE SEE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE LORD
CAME DOWN FROM ABOVE STOOD AND ROSE UP UPON AN HEAP
YOUR GOD, AND THE PRIESTS THE LEVITES BEARING IT, THEN YE
VERY FAR FROM THE CITY ADAM, THAT IS BESIDE ZARETAN: AND
SHALL REMOVE FROM YOUR PLACE, AND GO AFTER IT. 4 YET THERE
THOSE THAT CAME DOWN TOWARD THE SEA OF THE PLAIN, EVEN
SHALL BE A SPACE BETWEEN YOU AND IT, ABOUT TWO THOUSAND
THE SALT SEA, FAILED, AND WERE CUT OFF: AND THE PEOPLE
CUBITS BY MEASURE: COME NOT NEAR UNTO IT, THAT YE MAY

KNOW THE WAY BY WHICH YE MUST GO: FOR YE HAVE NOT PASSED
BARE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE LORD STOOD FIRM ON DRY
THIS WAY HERETOFORE. 5 AND JOSHUA SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE,
GROUND IN THE MIDST OF JORDAN, AND ALL THE ISRAELITES
SANCTIFY YOURSELVES: FOR TO MORROW THE LORD WILL DO
PASSED OVER ON DRY GROUND, UNTIL ALL THE PEOPLE WERE
WONDERS AMONG YOU. 6 AND JOSHUA SPAKE UNTO THE PRIESTS,
PASSED CLEAN OVER JORDAN.
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 PEOPLE. 7 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, SO I WILL BE WITH THEE. 8 AND THOU SHALT COMMAND
THE PRIESTS THAT BEAR THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, SAYING,
WHEN YE ARE COME TO THE BRINK OF THE WATER OF JORDAN, YE
SHALL STAND STILL IN JORDAN. 9 AND JOSHUA SAID UNTO THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, COME HITHER, AND HEAR THE WORDS OF THE
LORD YOUR GOD. 10 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 CANAANITES, AND THE
HITTITES, AND THE HIVITES, AND THE PERIZZITES, AND THE
GIRGASHITES, AND THE AMORITES, AND THE JEBUSITES. 11 BEHOLD,
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE LORD OF ALL THE EARTH
PASSETH OVER BEFORE YOU INTO JORDAN. 12 NOW THEREFORE
TAKE YOU TWELVE MEN OUT OF THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL, OUT OF
EVERY TRIBE A MAN. 13 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, AS SOON AS
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

 JOSHUA
PRIESTS, IN THE PRESENCE OF THE PEOPLE. 12 AND THE CHILDREN
CHAPTER 4 OF REUBEN, AND THE CHILDREN OF GAD, AND HALF THE TRIBE OF
MANASSEH, PASSED OVER ARMED BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,
AS MOSES SPAKE UNTO THEM: 13 ABOUT FORTY THOUSAND
AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE WERE CLEAN PASSED
PREPARED FOR WAR PASSED OVER BEFORE THE LORD UNTO BATTLE,
OVER JORDAN, THAT THE LORD SPAKE UNTO JOSHUA, SAYING, 2
TO THE PLAINS OF JERICHO. 14 ON THAT DAY THE LORD MAGNIFIED
TAKE YOU TWELVE MEN OUT OF THE PEOPLE, OUT OF EVERY TRIBE
JOSHUA IN THE SIGHT OF ALL ISRAEL; AND THEY FEARED HIM, AS
A MAN, 3 AND COMMAND YE THEM, SAYING, TAKE YOU HENCE OUT
THEY FEARED MOSES, ALL THE DAYS OF HIS LIFE. 15 AND THE LORD
OF THE MIDST OF JORDAN, OUT OF THE PLACE WHERE THE PRIESTS’
SPAKE UNTO JOSHUA, SAYING, 16 COMMAND THE PRIESTS THAT
FEET STOOD FIRM, TWELVE STONES, AND YE SHALL CARRY THEM
BEAR THE ARK OF THE TESTIMONY, THAT THEY COME UP OUT OF

JORDAN. 17 JOSHUA THEREFORE COMMANDED THE PRIESTS, SAYING,
YE SHALL LODGE THIS NIGHT. 4 THEN JOSHUA CALLED THE TWELVE
COME YE UP OUT OF JORDAN. 18 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE
MEN, WHOM HE HAD PREPARED OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, OUT
PRIESTS THAT BARE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE LORD WERE
OF EVERY TRIBE A MAN: 5 AND JOSHUA SAID UNTO THEM, PASS
COME UP OUT OF THE MIDST OF JORDAN, AND THE SOLES OF THE

PRIESTS’ FEET WERE LIFTED UP UNTO THE DRY LAND, THAT THE
JORDAN, AND TAKE YE UP EVERY MAN OF YOU A STONE UPON HIS
WATERS OF JORDAN RETURNED UNTO THEIR PLACE, AND FLOWED
SHOULDER, ACCORDING UNTO THE NUMBER OF THE TRIBES OF THE
OVER ALL HIS BANKS, AS THEY DID BEFORE. 19 AND THE PEOPLE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL: 6 THAT THIS MAY BE A SIGN AMONG YOU,
CAME UP OUT OF JORDAN ON THE TENTH DAY OF THE FIRST MONTH,
THAT WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ASK THEIR FATHERS IN TIME TO COME,
AND ENCAMPED IN GILGAL, IN THE EAST BORDER OF JERICHO. 20
SAYING, WHAT MEAN YE BY THESE STONES? 7 THEN YE SHALL
AND THOSE TWELVE STONES, WHICH THEY TOOK OUT OF JORDAN,
ANSWER THEM, THAT THE WATERS OF JORDAN WERE CUT OFF
DID JOSHUA PITCH IN GILGAL. 21 AND HE SPAKE UNTO THE
BEFORE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE LORD; WHEN IT PASSED
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, SAYING, WHEN YOUR CHILDREN SHALL ASK
OVER JORDAN, THE WATERS OF JORDAN WERE CUT OFF: AND THESE
THEIR FATHERS IN TIME TO COME, SAYING, WHAT MEAN THESE
STONES SHALL BE FOR A MEMORIAL UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
STONES? 22 THEN YE SHALL LET YOUR CHILDREN KNOW, SAYING,
FOR EVER. 8 AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID SO AS JOSHUA
ISRAEL CAME OVER THIS JORDAN ON DRY LAND. 23 FOR THE LORD
COMMANDED, AND TOOK UP TWELVE STONES OUT OF THE MIDST OF
YOUR GOD DRIED UP THE WATERS OF JORDAN FROM BEFORE YOU,
JORDAN, AS THE LORD SPAKE UNTO JOSHUA, ACCORDING TO THE
UNTIL YE WERE PASSED OVER, AS THE LORD YOUR GOD DID TO THE
NUMBER OF THE TRIBES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND CARRIED
RED SEA, WHICH HE DRIED UP FROM BEFORE US, UNTIL WE WERE
THEM OVER WITH THEM UNTO THE PLACE WHERE THEY LODGED,
GONE OVER: 24 THAT ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH MIGHT KNOW
AND LAID THEM DOWN THERE. 9 AND JOSHUA SET UP TWELVE
THE HAND OF THE LORD, THAT IT IS MIGHTY: THAT YE MIGHT FEAR
STONES IN THE MIDST OF JORDAN, IN THE PLACE WHERE THE FEET
THE LORD YOUR GOD FOR EVER.
OF THE PRIESTS WHICH BARE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT STOOD:
AND THEY ARE THERE UNTO THIS DAY. 10 FOR THE PRIESTS WHICH
BARE THE ARK STOOD IN THE MIDST OF JORDAN, UNTIL EVERY
THING WAS FINISHED THAT THE LORD COMMANDED JOSHUA TO
SPEAK UNTO THE PEOPLE, ACCORDING TO ALL THAT MOSES
COMMANDED JOSHUA: AND THE PEOPLE HASTED AND PASSED OVER.
11 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE WERE CLEAN
PASSED OVER, THAT THE ARK OF THE LORD PASSED OVER, AND THE

 JOSHUA
JERICHO. 11 AND THEY DID EAT OF THE OLD CORN OF THE LAND ON
CHAPTER 5 THE MORROW AFTER THE PASSOVER, UNLEAVENED CAKES, AND
PARCHED CORN IN THE SELFSAME DAY. 12 AND THE MANNA CEASED
ON THE MORROW AFTER THEY HAD EATEN OF THE OLD CORN OF
AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN ALL THE KINGS OF THE AMORITES,
THE LAND; NEITHER HAD THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL MANNA ANY
WHICH WERE ON THE SIDE OF JORDAN WESTWARD, AND ALL THE
MORE; BUT THEY DID EAT OF THE FRUIT OF THE LAND OF CANAAN
KINGS OF THE CANAANITES, WHICH WERE BY THE SEA, HEARD THAT
THAT YEAR. 13 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN JOSHUA WAS BY
THE LORD HAD DRIED UP THE WATERS OF JORDAN FROM BEFORE
JERICHO, THAT HE LIFTED UP HIS EYES AND LOOKED, AND, BEHOLD,
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, UNTIL WE WERE PASSED OVER, THAT
THERE STOOD A MAN OVER AGAINST HIM WITH HIS SWORD DRAWN
THEIR HEART MELTED, NEITHER WAS THERE SPIRIT IN THEM ANY
IN HIS HAND: AND JOSHUA WENT UNTO HIM, AND SAID UNTO HIM,
MORE, BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. 2 AT THAT TIME THE
ART THOU FOR US, OR FOR OUR ADVERSARIES? 14 AND HE SAID, NAY;
LORD SAID UNTO JOSHUA, MAKE THEE SHARP KNIVES, AND
BUT AS CAPTAIN OF THE HOST OF THE LORD AM I NOW COME. AND
CIRCUMCISE AGAIN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THE SECOND TIME. 3
JOSHUA FELL ON HIS FACE TO THE EARTH, AND DID WORSHIP, AND
AND JOSHUA MADE HIM SHARP KNIVES, AND CIRCUMCISED THE
SAID UNTO HIM, WHAT SAITH MY LORD UNTO HIS SERVANT? 15 AND
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AT THE HILL OF THE FORESKINS. 4 AND THIS
THE CAPTAIN OF THE LORD’S HOST SAID UNTO JOSHUA, LOOSE THY
IS THE CAUSE WHY JOSHUA DID CIRCUMCISE: ALL THE PEOPLE THAT

CAME OUT OF EGYPT, THAT WERE MALES, EVEN ALL THE MEN OF

WAR, DIED IN THE WILDERNESS BY THE WAY, AFTER THEY CAME
OUT OF EGYPT. 5 NOW ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAME OUT WERE
CIRCUMCISED: BUT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE BORN IN THE
WILDERNESS BY THE WAY AS THEY CAME FORTH OUT OF EGYPT,
THEM THEY HAD NOT CIRCUMCISED. 6 FOR THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL WALKED FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS, TILL ALL THE
PEOPLE THAT WERE MEN OF WAR, WHICH CAME OUT OF EGYPT,
WERE CONSUMED, BECAUSE THEY OBEYED NOT THE VOICE OF THE
LORD: UNTO WHOM THE LORD SWARE THAT HE WOULD NOT SHEW
THEM THE LAND, WHICH THE LORD SWARE UNTO THEIR FATHERS
THAT HE WOULD GIVE US, A LAND THAT FLOWETH WITH MILK AND
HONEY. 7 AND THEIR CHILDREN, WHOM HE RAISED UP IN THEIR
STEAD, THEM JOSHUA CIRCUMCISED: FOR THEY WERE
UNCIRCUMCISED, BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT CIRCUMCISED THEM BY
THE WAY. 8 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THEY HAD DONE
CIRCUMCISING ALL THE PEOPLE, THAT THEY ABODE IN THEIR
PLACES IN THE CAMP, TILL THEY WERE WHOLE. 9 AND THE LORD
SAID UNTO JOSHUA, THIS DAY HAVE I ROLLED AWAY THE REPROACH
OF EGYPT FROM OFF YOU. WHEREFORE THE NAME OF THE PLACE IS
CALLED GILGAL UNTO THIS DAY. 10 AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
ENCAMPED IN GILGAL, AND KEPT THE PASSOVER ON THE
FOURTEENTH DAY OF THE MONTH AT EVEN IN THE PLAINS OF

 JOSHUA
THE LORD WENT ON CONTINUALLY, AND BLEW WITH THE
CHAPTER 6 TRUMPETS: AND THE ARMED MEN WENT BEFORE THEM; BUT THE
REREWARD CAME AFTER THE ARK OF THE LORD, THE PRIESTS GOING
ON, AND BLOWING WITH THE TRUMPETS. 14 AND THE SECOND DAY
NOW JERICHO WAS STRAITLY SHUT UP BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN
THEY COMPASSED THE CITY ONCE, AND RETURNED INTO THE CAMP:
OF ISRAEL: NONE WENT OUT, AND NONE CAME IN. 2 AND THE LORD
SO THEY DID SIX DAYS. 15 AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE SEVENTH
SAID UNTO JOSHUA, SEE, I HAVE GIVEN INTO THINE HAND JERICHO,
DAY, THAT THEY ROSE EARLY ABOUT THE DAWNING OF THE DAY,
AND THE KING THEREOF, AND THE MIGHTY MEN OF VALOUR. 3 AND
AND COMPASSED THE CITY AFTER THE SAME MANNER SEVEN TIMES:
YE SHALL COMPASS THE CITY, ALL YE MEN OF WAR, AND GO ROUND
ONLY ON THAT DAY THEY COMPASSED THE CITY SEVEN TIMES. 16
ABOUT THE CITY ONCE. THUS SHALT THOU DO SIX DAYS. 4 AND
AND IT CAME TO PASS AT THE SEVENTH TIME, WHEN THE PRIESTS
SEVEN PRIESTS SHALL BEAR BEFORE THE ARK SEVEN TRUMPETS OF
BLEW WITH THE TRUMPETS, JOSHUA SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE,
RAMS’ HORNS: AND THE SEVENTH DAY YE SHALL COMPASS THE CITY
SHOUT; FOR THE LORD HATH GIVEN YOU THE CITY. 17 AND THE CITY
SEVEN TIMES, AND THE PRIESTS SHALL BLOW WITH THE TRUMPETS.
SHALL BE ACCURSED, EVEN IT, AND ALL THAT ARE THEREIN, TO THE

LORD: ONLY RAHAB THE HARLOT SHALL LIVE, SHE AND ALL THAT
BLAST WITH THE RAM’S HORN, AND WHEN YE HEAR THE SOUND OF
ARE WITH HER IN THE HOUSE, BECAUSE SHE HID THE MESSENGERS
THE TRUMPET, ALL THE PEOPLE SHALL SHOUT WITH A GREAT SHOUT;
THAT WE SENT. 18 AND YE, IN ANY WISE KEEP YOURSELVES FROM
AND THE WALL OF THE CITY SHALL FALL DOWN FLAT, AND THE
THE ACCURSED THING, LEST YE MAKE YOURSELVES ACCURSED,
PEOPLE SHALL ASCEND UP EVERY MAN STRAIGHT BEFORE HIM. 6
WHEN YE TAKE OF THE ACCURSED THING, AND MAKE THE CAMP OF
AND JOSHUA THE SON OF NUN CALLED THE PRIESTS, AND SAID
ISRAEL A CURSE, AND TROUBLE IT. 19 BUT ALL THE SILVER, AND
UNTO THEM, TAKE UP THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, AND LET SEVEN
GOLD, AND VESSELS OF BRASS AND IRON, ARE CONSECRATED UNTO
PRIESTS BEAR SEVEN TRUMPETS OF RAMS’ HORNS BEFORE THE ARK
THE LORD: THEY SHALL COME INTO THE TREASURY OF THE LORD. 20
OF THE LORD. 7 AND HE SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE, PASS ON, AND
SO THE PEOPLE SHOUTED WHEN THE PRIESTS BLEW WITH THE
COMPASS THE CITY, AND LET HIM THAT IS ARMED PASS ON BEFORE
TRUMPETS: AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE PEOPLE HEARD THE
THE ARK OF THE LORD. 8 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN JOSHUA HAD
SOUND OF THE TRUMPET, AND THE PEOPLE SHOUTED WITH A GREAT
SPOKEN UNTO THE PEOPLE, THAT THE SEVEN PRIESTS BEARING THE
SHOUT, THAT THE WALL FELL DOWN FLAT, SO THAT THE PEOPLE
SEVEN TRUMPETS OF RAMS’ HORNS PASSED ON BEFORE THE LORD,
WENT UP INTO THE CITY, EVERY MAN STRAIGHT BEFORE HIM, AND
AND BLEW WITH THE TRUMPETS: AND THE ARK OF THE COVENANT
THEY TOOK THE CITY. 21 AND THEY UTTERLY DESTROYED ALL THAT
OF THE LORD FOLLOWED THEM. 9 AND THE ARMED MEN WENT
WAS IN THE CITY, BOTH MAN AND WOMAN, YOUNG AND OLD, AND
BEFORE THE PRIESTS THAT BLEW WITH THE TRUMPETS, AND THE
OX, AND SHEEP, AND ASS, WITH THE EDGE OF THE SWORD. 22 BUT
REREWARD CAME AFTER THE ARK, THE PRIESTS GOING ON, AND
JOSHUA HAD SAID UNTO THE TWO MEN THAT HAD SPIED OUT THE
BLOWING WITH THE TRUMPETS. 10 AND JOSHUA HAD COMMANDED
COUNTRY, GO INTO THE HARLOT’S HOUSE, AND BRING OUT THENCE
THE PEOPLE, SAYING, YE SHALL NOT SHOUT, NOR MAKE ANY NOISE
THE WOMAN, AND ALL THAT SHE HATH, AS YE SWARE UNTO HER.
WITH YOUR VOICE, NEITHER SHALL ANY WORD PROCEED OUT OF
23 AND THE YOUNG MEN THAT WERE SPIES WENT IN, AND BROUGHT
YOUR MOUTH, UNTIL THE DAY I BID YOU SHOUT; THEN SHALL YE
OUT RAHAB, AND HER FATHER, AND HER MOTHER, AND HER
SHOUT. 11 SO THE ARK OF THE LORD COMPASSED THE CITY, GOING
BRETHREN, AND ALL THAT SHE HAD; AND THEY BROUGHT OUT ALL
ABOUT IT ONCE: AND THEY CAME INTO THE CAMP, AND LODGED IN
HER KINDRED, AND LEFT THEM WITHOUT THE CAMP OF ISRAEL. 24
THE CAMP. 12 AND JOSHUA ROSE EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND THE
AND THEY BURNT THE CITY WITH FIRE, AND ALL THAT WAS THEREIN:
PRIESTS TOOK UP THE ARK OF THE LORD. 13 AND SEVEN PRIESTS
ONLY THE SILVER, AND THE GOLD, AND THE VESSELS OF BRASS AND
BEARING SEVEN TRUMPETS OF RAMS’ HORNS BEFORE THE ARK OF
297
 JOSHUA
OF IRON, THEY PUT INTO THE TREASURY OF THE HOUSE OF THE
LORD. 25 AND JOSHUA SAVED RAHAB THE HARLOT ALIVE, AND HER
FATHER’S HOUSEHOLD, AND ALL THAT SHE HAD; AND SHE
DWELLETH IN ISRAEL EVEN UNTO THIS DAY; BECAUSE SHE HID THE
MESSENGERS, WHICH JOSHUA SENT TO SPY OUT JERICHO. 26 AND
JOSHUA ADJURED THEM AT THAT TIME, SAYING, CURSED BE THE
MAN BEFORE THE LORD, THAT RISETH UP AND BUILDETH THIS CITY
JERICHO: HE SHALL LAY THE FOUNDATION THEREOF IN HIS
FIRSTBORN, AND IN HIS YOUNGEST SON SHALL HE SET UP THE
GATES OF IT. 27 SO THE LORD WAS WITH JOSHUA; AND HIS FAME
WAS NOISED THROUGHOUT ALL THE COUNTRY.

298
 JOSHUA
THEREFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL COULD NOT STAND BEFORE
CHAPTER 7 THEIR ENEMIES, BUT TURNED THEIR BACKS BEFORE THEIR ENEMIES,
BECAUSE THEY WERE ACCURSED: NEITHER WILL I BE WITH YOU ANY
MORE, EXCEPT YE DESTROY THE ACCURSED FROM AMONG YOU. 13
BUT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL COMMITTED A TRESPASS IN THE
UP, SANCTIFY THE PEOPLE, AND SAY, SANCTIFY YOURSELVES
ACCURSED THING: FOR ACHAN, THE SON OF CARMI, THE SON OF
AGAINST TO MORROW: FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL,
ZABDI, THE SON OF ZERAH, OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, TOOK OF THE
THERE IS AN ACCURSED THING IN THE MIDST OF THEE, O ISRAEL:
ACCURSED THING: AND THE ANGER OF THE LORD WAS KINDLED
THOU CANST NOT STAND BEFORE THINE ENEMIES, UNTIL YE TAKE
AGAINST THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. 2 AND JOSHUA SENT MEN FROM
AWAY THE ACCURSED THING FROM AMONG YOU. 14 IN THE
JERICHO TO AI, WHICH IS BESIDE BETH-AVEN, ON THE EAST SIDE OF
MORNING THEREFORE YE SHALL BE BROUGHT ACCORDING TO YOUR
BETH-EL, AND SPAKE UNTO THEM, SAYING, GO UP AND VIEW THE
TRIBES: AND IT SHALL BE, THAT THE TRIBE WHICH THE LORD
COUNTRY. AND THE MEN WENT UP AND VIEWED AI. 3 AND THEY
TAKETH SHALL COME ACCORDING TO THE FAMILIES THEREOF; AND
RETURNED TO JOSHUA, AND SAID UNTO HIM, LET NOT ALL THE
THE FAMILY WHICH THE LORD SHALL TAKE SHALL COME BY
PEOPLE GO UP; BUT LET ABOUT TWO OR THREE THOUSAND MEN GO
HOUSEHOLDS; AND THE HOUSEHOLD WHICH THE LORD SHALL TAKE
UP AND SMITE AI; AND MAKE NOT ALL THE PEOPLE TO LABOUR
SHALL COME MAN BY MAN. 15 AND IT SHALL BE, THAT HE THAT IS
THITHER; FOR THEY ARE BUT FEW. 4 SO THERE WENT UP THITHER
TAKEN WITH THE ACCURSED THING SHALL BE BURNT WITH FIRE, HE
OF THE PEOPLE ABOUT THREE THOUSAND MEN: AND THEY FLED
AND ALL THAT HE HATH: BECAUSE HE HATH TRANSGRESSED THE
BEFORE THE MEN OF AI. 5 AND THE MEN OF AI SMOTE OF THEM
COVENANT OF THE LORD, AND BECAUSE HE HATH WROUGHT FOLLY
ABOUT THIRTY AND SIX MEN: FOR THEY CHASED THEM FROM
IN ISRAEL. 16 SO JOSHUA ROSE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND
BEFORE THE GATE EVEN UNTO SHEBARIM, AND SMOTE THEM IN THE
BROUGHT ISRAEL BY THEIR TRIBES; AND THE TRIBE OF JUDAH WAS
GOING DOWN: WHEREFORE THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE MELTED,
TAKEN: 17 AND HE BROUGHT THE FAMILY OF JUDAH; AND HE TOOK
AND BECAME AS WATER. 6 AND JOSHUA RENT HIS CLOTHES, AND
THE FAMILY OF THE ZARHITES: AND HE BROUGHT THE FAMILY OF
FELL TO THE EARTH UPON HIS FACE BEFORE THE ARK OF THE LORD
THE ZARHITES MAN BY MAN; AND ZABDI WAS TAKEN: 18 AND HE
UNTIL THE EVENTIDE, HE AND THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL, AND PUT
BROUGHT HIS HOUSEHOLD MAN BY MAN; AND ACHAN, THE SON OF
DUST UPON THEIR HEADS. 7 AND JOSHUA SAID, ALAS, O LORD GOD,
CARMI, THE SON OF ZABDI, THE SON OF ZERAH, OF THE TRIBE OF
WHEREFORE HAST THOU AT ALL BROUGHT THIS PEOPLE OVER
JUDAH, WAS TAKEN. 19 AND JOSHUA SAID UNTO ACHAN, MY SON,
JORDAN, TO DELIVER US INTO THE HAND OF THE AMORITES, TO
GIVE, I PRAY THEE, GLORY TO THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, AND MAKE
DESTROY US? WOULD TO GOD WE HAD BEEN CONTENT, AND DWELT
CONFESSION UNTO HIM; AND TELL ME NOW WHAT THOU HAST
ON THE OTHER SIDE JORDAN! 8 O LORD, WHAT SHALL I SAY, WHEN
DONE; HIDE IT NOT FROM ME. 20 AND ACHAN ANSWERED JOSHUA,
ISRAEL TURNETH THEIR BACKS BEFORE THEIR ENEMIES! 9 FOR THE
AND SAID, INDEED I HAVE SINNED AGAINST THE LORD GOD OF
CANAANITES AND ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE LAND SHALL HEAR
ISRAEL, AND THUS AND THUS HAVE I DONE: 21 WHEN I SAW AMONG
OF IT, AND SHALL ENVIRON US ROUND, AND CUT OFF OUR NAME
THE SPOILS A GOODLY BABYLONISH GARMENT, AND TWO HUNDRED
FROM THE EARTH: AND WHAT WILT THOU DO UNTO THY GREAT
SHEKELS OF SILVER, AND A WEDGE OF GOLD OF FIFTY SHEKELS
NAME? 10 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO JOSHUA, GET THEE UP;
WEIGHT, THEN I COVETED THEM, AND TOOK THEM; AND, BEHOLD,
WHEREFORE LIEST THOU THUS UPON THY FACE? 11 ISRAEL HATH
THEY ARE HID IN THE EARTH IN THE MIDST OF MY TENT, AND THE
SINNED, AND THEY HAVE ALSO TRANSGRESSED MY COVENANT
SILVER UNDER IT. 22 SO JOSHUA SENT MESSENGERS, AND THEY RAN
WHICH I COMMANDED THEM: FOR THEY HAVE EVEN TAKEN OF THE
UNTO THE TENT; AND, BEHOLD, IT WAS HID IN HIS TENT, AND THE
ACCURSED THING, AND HAVE ALSO STOLEN, AND DISSEMBLED ALSO,
SILVER UNDER IT. 23 AND THEY TOOK THEM OUT OF THE MIDST OF
AND THEY HAVE PUT IT EVEN AMONG THEIR OWN STUFF. 12
299
 JOSHUA
THE TENT, AND BROUGHT THEM UNTO JOSHUA, AND UNTO ALL THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND LAID THEM OUT BEFORE THE LORD. 24
AND JOSHUA, AND ALL ISRAEL WITH HIM, TOOK ACHAN THE SON OF
ZERAH, AND THE SILVER, AND THE GARMENT, AND THE WEDGE OF
GOLD, AND HIS SONS, AND HIS DAUGHTERS, AND HIS OXEN, AND
HIS ASSES, AND HIS SHEEP, AND HIS TENT, AND ALL THAT HE HAD:
AND THEY BROUGHT THEM UNTO THE VALLEY OF ACHOR. 25 AND
JOSHUA SAID, WHY HAST THOU TROUBLED US? THE LORD SHALL
TROUBLE THEE THIS DAY. AND ALL ISRAEL STONED HIM WITH
STONES, AND BURNED THEM WITH FIRE, AFTER THEY HAD STONED
THEM WITH STONES. 26 AND THEY RAISED OVER HIM A GREAT HEAP
OF STONES UNTO THIS DAY. SO THE LORD TURNED FROM THE
FIERCENESS OF HIS ANGER. WHEREFORE THE NAME OF THAT PLACE
WAS CALLED, THE VALLEY OF ACHOR, UNTO THIS DAY.

 JOSHUA
PEOPLE, EVEN ALL THE HOST THAT WAS ON THE NORTH OF THE CITY,
CHAPTER 8 AND THEIR LIERS IN WAIT ON THE WEST OF THE CITY, JOSHUA WENT
THAT NIGHT INTO THE MIDST OF THE VALLEY. 14 AND IT CAME TO
PASS, WHEN THE KING OF AI SAW IT, THAT THEY HASTED AND ROSE
AND THE LORD SAID UNTO JOSHUA, FEAR NOT, NEITHER BE THOU
UP EARLY, AND THE MEN OF THE CITY WENT OUT AGAINST ISRAEL
DISMAYED: TAKE ALL THE PEOPLE OF WAR WITH THEE, AND ARISE,
TO BATTLE, HE AND ALL HIS PEOPLE, AT A TIME APPOINTED, BEFORE
GO UP TO AI: SEE, I HAVE GIVEN INTO THY HAND THE KING OF AI,
THE PLAIN; BUT HE WIST NOT THAT THERE WERE LIERS IN AMBUSH
AND HIS PEOPLE, AND HIS CITY, AND HIS LAND: 2 AND THOU SHALT
AGAINST HIM BEHIND THE CITY. 15 AND JOSHUA AND ALL ISRAEL
DO TO AI AND HER KING AS THOU DIDST UNTO JERICHO AND HER
MADE AS IF THEY WERE BEATEN BEFORE THEM, AND FLED BY THE
KING: ONLY THE SPOIL THEREOF, AND THE CATTLE THEREOF, SHALL

AI WERE CALLED TOGETHER TO PURSUE AFTER THEM: AND THEY

WAR, TO GO UP AGAINST AI: AND JOSHUA CHOSE OUT THIRTY
17 AND THERE WAS NOT A MAN LEFT IN AI OR BETH-EL, THAT WENT
THOUSAND MIGHTY MEN OF VALOUR, AND SENT THEM AWAY BY
NOT OUT AFTER ISRAEL: AND THEY LEFT THE CITY OPEN, AND
NIGHT. 4 AND HE COMMANDED THEM, SAYING, BEHOLD, YE SHALL
PURSUED AFTER ISRAEL. 18 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO JOSHUA,
LIE IN WAIT AGAINST THE CITY, EVEN BEHIND THE CITY: GO NOT
STRETCH OUT THE SPEAR THAT IS IN THY HAND TOWARD AI; FOR I
VERY FAR FROM THE CITY, BUT BE YE ALL READY: 5 AND I, AND ALL
WILL GIVE IT INTO THINE HAND. AND JOSHUA STRETCHED OUT THE
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WITH ME, WILL APPROACH UNTO THE CITY:
SPEAR THAT HE HAD IN HIS HAND TOWARD THE CITY. 19 AND THE
AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, WHEN THEY COME OUT AGAINST US,
AMBUSH AROSE QUICKLY OUT OF THEIR PLACE, AND THEY RAN AS
AS AT THE FIRST, THAT WE WILL FLEE BEFORE THEM, 6 (FOR THEY
SOON AS HE HAD STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND: AND THEY ENTERED
WILL COME OUT AFTER US) TILL WE HAVE DRAWN THEM FROM THE
INTO THE CITY, AND TOOK IT, AND HASTED AND SET THE CITY ON
CITY; FOR THEY WILL SAY, THEY FLEE BEFORE US, AS AT THE FIRST:
FIRE. 20 AND WHEN THE MEN OF AI LOOKED BEHIND THEM, THEY
THEREFORE WE WILL FLEE BEFORE THEM. 7 THEN YE SHALL RISE UP
SAW, AND, BEHOLD, THE SMOKE OF THE CITY ASCENDED UP TO
FROM THE AMBUSH, AND SEIZE UPON THE CITY: FOR THE LORD
HEAVEN, AND THEY HAD NO POWER TO FLEE THIS WAY OR THAT
YOUR GOD WILL DELIVER IT INTO YOUR HAND. 8 AND IT SHALL BE,
WAY: AND THE PEOPLE THAT FLED TO THE WILDERNESS TURNED
WHEN YE HAVE TAKEN THE CITY, THAT YE SHALL SET THE CITY ON
BACK UPON THE PURSUERS. 21 AND WHEN JOSHUA AND ALL ISRAEL
FIRE: ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD SHALL YE
SAW THAT THE AMBUSH HAD TAKEN THE CITY, AND THAT THE
DO. SEE, I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. 9 JOSHUA THEREFORE SENT
SMOKE OF THE CITY ASCENDED, THEN THEY TURNED AGAIN, AND
THEM FORTH: AND THEY WENT TO LIE IN AMBUSH, AND ABODE
SLEW THE MEN OF AI. 22 AND THE OTHER ISSUED OUT OF THE CITY
BETWEEN BETH-EL AND AI, ON THE WEST SIDE OF AI: BUT JOSHUA
AGAINST THEM; SO THEY WERE IN THE MIDST OF ISRAEL, SOME ON
LODGED THAT NIGHT AMONG THE PEOPLE. 10 AND JOSHUA ROSE UP
THIS SIDE, AND SOME ON THAT SIDE: AND THEY SMOTE THEM, SO
EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND NUMBERED THE PEOPLE, AND WENT
THAT THEY LET NONE OF THEM REMAIN OR ESCAPE. 23 AND THE
UP, HE AND THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL, BEFORE THE PEOPLE TO AI. 11
KING OF AI THEY TOOK ALIVE, AND BROUGHT HIM TO JOSHUA. 24
AND ALL THE PEOPLE, EVEN THE PEOPLE OF WAR THAT WERE WITH
AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN ISRAEL HAD MADE AN END OF
HIM, WENT UP, AND DREW NIGH, AND CAME BEFORE THE CITY, AND
SLAYING ALL THE INHABITANTS OF AI IN THE FIELD, IN THE
PITCHED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF AI: NOW THERE WAS A VALLEY
WILDERNESS WHEREIN THEY CHASED THEM, AND WHEN THEY
BETWEEN THEM AND AI. 12 AND HE TOOK ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND
WERE ALL FALLEN ON THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, UNTIL THEY WERE
MEN, AND SET THEM TO LIE IN AMBUSH BETWEEN BETH-EL AND AI,
CONSUMED, THAT ALL THE ISRAELITES RETURNED UNTO AI, AND
ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY. 13 AND WHEN THEY HAD SET THE
301
 JOSHUA
SMOTE IT WITH THE EDGE OF THE SWORD. 25 AND SO IT WAS, THAT
ALL THAT FELL THAT DAY, BOTH OF MEN AND WOMEN, WERE
TWELVE THOUSAND, EVEN ALL THE MEN OF AI. 26 FOR JOSHUA
DREW NOT HIS HAND BACK, WHEREWITH HE STRETCHED OUT THE
SPEAR, UNTIL HE HAD UTTERLY DESTROYED ALL THE INHABITANTS
OF AI. 27 ONLY THE CATTLE AND THE SPOIL OF THAT CITY ISRAEL
TOOK FOR A PREY UNTO THEMSELVES, ACCORDING UNTO THE WORD
OF THE LORD WHICH HE COMMANDED JOSHUA. 28 AND JOSHUA
BURNT AI, AND MADE IT AN HEAP FOR EVER, EVEN A DESOLATION
UNTO THIS DAY. 29 AND THE KING OF AI HE HANGED ON A TREE
UNTIL EVENTIDE: AND AS SOON AS THE SUN WAS DOWN, JOSHUA
COMMANDED THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE HIS CARCASE DOWN FROM
THE TREE, AND CAST IT AT THE ENTERING OF THE GATE OF THE CITY,
AND RAISE THEREON A GREAT HEAP OF STONES, THAT REMAINETH
UNTO THIS DAY. 30 THEN JOSHUA BUILT AN ALTAR UNTO THE LORD
GOD OF ISRAEL IN MOUNT EBAL, 31 AS MOSES THE SERVANT OF THE
LORD COMMANDED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AS IT IS WRITTEN IN
THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF MOSES, AN ALTAR OF WHOLE STONES,
OVER WHICH NO MAN HATH LIFT UP ANY IRON: AND THEY OFFERED
THEREON BURNT OFFERINGS UNTO THE LORD, AND SACRIFICED
PEACE OFFERINGS. 32 AND HE WROTE THERE UPON THE STONES A
COPY OF THE LAW OF MOSES, WHICH HE WROTE IN THE PRESENCE
OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. 33 AND ALL ISRAEL, AND THEIR
ELDERS, AND OFFICERS, AND THEIR JUDGES, STOOD ON THIS SIDE
THE ARK AND ON THAT SIDE BEFORE THE PRIESTS THE LEVITES,
WHICH BARE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE LORD, AS WELL
THE STRANGER, AS HE THAT WAS BORN AMONG THEM; HALF OF
THEM OVER AGAINST MOUNT GERIZIM, AND HALF OF THEM OVER
AGAINST MOUNT EBAL; AS MOSES THE SERVANT OF THE LORD HAD
COMMANDED BEFORE, THAT THEY SHOULD BLESS THE PEOPLE OF
ISRAEL. 34 AND AFTERWARD HE READ ALL THE WORDS OF THE LAW,
THE BLESSINGS AND CURSINGS, ACCORDING TO ALL THAT IS
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW. 35 THERE WAS NOT A WORD
OF ALL THAT MOSES COMMANDED, WHICH JOSHUA READ NOT
BEFORE ALL THE CONGREGATION OF ISRAEL, WITH THE WOMEN,
AND THE LITTLE ONES, AND THE STRANGERS THAT WERE
CONVERSANT AMONG THEM.

AND JOSHUA CALLED FOR THEM, AND HE SPAKE UNTO THEM,
JOSHUA SAID UNTO THEM, WHO ARE YE? AND FROM WHENCE COME
SAYING, WHEREFORE HAVE YE BEGUILED US, SAYING, WE ARE VERY

SERVANTS ARE COME BECAUSE OF THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD:
YE ARE CURSED, AND THERE SHALL NONE OF YOU BE FREED FROM
FOR WE HAVE HEARD THE FAME OF HIM, AND ALL THAT HE DID IN
BEING BONDMEN, AND HEWERS OF WOOD AND DRAWERS OF WATER

DESTROYED IT; AS HE HAD DONE TO JERICHO AND HER KING, SO HE
13 AND THE SUN STOOD STILL, AND THE MOON STAYED, UNTIL THE
HAD DONE TO AI AND HER KING; AND HOW THE INHABITANTS OF
PEOPLE HAD AVENGED THEMSELVES UPON THEIR ENEMIES. IS NOT
GIBEON HAD MADE PEACE WITH ISRAEL, AND WERE AMONG THEM;
THIS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF JASHER? SO THE SUN STOOD STILL
2 THAT THEY FEARED GREATLY, BECAUSE GIBEON WAS A GREAT CITY,
IN THE MIDST OF HEAVEN, AND HASTED NOT TO GO DOWN ABOUT A
AS ONE OF THE ROYAL CITIES, AND BECAUSE IT WAS GREATER THAN
WHOLE DAY. 14 AND THERE WAS NO DAY LIKE THAT BEFORE IT OR
AI, AND ALL THE MEN THEREOF WERE MIGHTY. 3 WHEREFORE
AFTER IT, THAT THE LORD HEARKENED UNTO THE VOICE OF A MAN:
ADONI-ZEDEK KING OF JERUSALEM SENT UNTO HOHAM KING OF

BY IT FOR TO KEEP THEM: 19 AND STAY YE NOT, BUT PURSUE AFTER
THE KING OF LACHISH, THE KING OF EGLON, GATHERED

IT. 6 AND THE MEN OF GIBEON SENT UNTO JOSHUA TO THE CAMP
WHEN JOSHUA AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAD MADE AN END
TO GILGAL, SAYING, SLACK NOT THY HAND FROM THY SERVANTS;
OF SLAYING THEM WITH A VERY GREAT SLAUGHTER, TILL THEY

HORON, AND SMOTE THEM TO AZEKAH, AND UNTO MAKKEDAH. 11
AND SAID UNTO THE CAPTAINS OF THE MEN OF WAR WHICH WENT
AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS THEY FLED FROM BEFORE ISRAEL, AND

SHALL THE LORD DO TO ALL YOUR ENEMIES AGAINST WHOM YE HAD DONE TO EGLON; BUT DESTROYED IT UTTERLY, AND ALL THE
FIGHT. 26 AND AFTERWARD JOSHUA SMOTE THEM, AND SLEW THEM, SOULS THAT WERE THEREIN. 38 AND JOSHUA RETURNED, AND ALL
AND HANGED THEM ON FIVE TREES: AND THEY WERE HANGING ISRAEL WITH HIM, TO DEBIR; AND FOUGHT AGAINST IT: 39 AND HE
UPON THE TREES UNTIL THE EVENING. 27 AND IT CAME TO PASS AT TOOK IT, AND THE KING THEREOF, AND ALL THE CITIES THEREOF;
THE TIME OF THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN, THAT JOSHUA AND THEY SMOTE THEM WITH THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, AND
COMMANDED, AND THEY TOOK THEM DOWN OFF THE TREES, AND UTTERLY DESTROYED ALL THE SOULS THAT WERE THEREIN; HE LEFT
CAST THEM INTO THE CAVE WHEREIN THEY HAD BEEN HID, AND NONE REMAINING: AS HE HAD DONE TO HEBRON, SO HE DID TO
LAID GREAT STONES IN THE CAVE’S MOUTH, WHICH REMAIN UNTIL DEBIR, AND TO THE KING THEREOF; AS HE HAD DONE ALSO TO
THIS VERY DAY. 28 AND THAT DAY JOSHUA TOOK MAKKEDAH, AND LIBNAH, AND TO HER KING. 40 SO JOSHUA SMOTE ALL THE COUNTRY
SMOTE IT WITH THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, AND THE KING THEREOF OF THE HILLS, AND OF THE SOUTH, AND OF THE VALE, AND OF THE

THEREIN; HE LET NONE REMAIN: AND HE DID TO THE KING OF UTTERLY DESTROYED ALL THAT BREATHED, AS THE LORD GOD OF
MAKKEDAH AS HE DID UNTO THE KING OF JERICHO. 29 THEN ISRAEL COMMANDED. 41 AND JOSHUA SMOTE THEM FROM
JOSHUA PASSED FROM MAKKEDAH, AND ALL ISRAEL WITH HIM, KADESHBARNEA EVEN UNTO GAZA, AND ALL THE COUNTRY OF

DELIVERED IT ALSO, AND THE KING THEREOF, INTO THE HAND OF LAND DID JOSHUA TAKE AT ONE TIME, BECAUSE THE LORD GOD OF
ISRAEL; AND HE SMOTE IT WITH THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, AND ALL ISRAEL FOUGHT FOR ISRAEL. 43 AND JOSHUA RETURNED, AND ALL
THE SOULS THAT WERE THEREIN; HE LET NONE REMAIN IN IT; BUT ISRAEL WITH HIM, UNTO THE CAMP TO GILGAL.
DID UNTO THE KING THEREOF AS HE DID UNTO THE KING OF
JERICHO. 31 AND JOSHUA PASSED FROM LIBNAH, AND ALL ISRAEL
WITH HIM, UNTO LACHISH, AND ENCAMPED AGAINST IT, AND
FOUGHT AGAINST IT: 32 AND THE LORD DELIVERED LACHISH INTO
THE HAND OF ISRAEL, WHICH TOOK IT ON THE SECOND DAY, AND
SMOTE IT WITH THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, AND ALL THE SOULS THAT
WERE THEREIN, ACCORDING TO ALL THAT HE HAD DONE TO LIBNAH.
33 THEN HORAM KING OF GEZER CAME UP TO HELP LACHISH; AND
JOSHUA SMOTE HIM AND HIS PEOPLE, UNTIL HE HAD LEFT HIM
NONE REMAINING. 34 AND FROM LACHISH JOSHUA PASSED UNTO
EGLON, AND ALL ISRAEL WITH HIM; AND THEY ENCAMPED AGAINST
IT, AND FOUGHT AGAINST IT: 35 AND THEY TOOK IT ON THAT DAY,
AND SMOTE IT WITH THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, AND ALL THE SOULS
THAT WERE THEREIN HE UTTERLY DESTROYED THAT DAY,
ACCORDING TO ALL THAT HE HAD DONE TO LACHISH. 36 AND
JOSHUA WENT UP FROM EGLON, AND ALL ISRAEL WITH HIM, UNTO
HEBRON; AND THEY FOUGHT AGAINST IT: 37 AND THEY TOOK IT, AND
SMOTE IT WITH THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, AND THE KING THEREOF,

306
 JOSHUA
THE LORD COMMANDED. 13 BUT AS FOR THE CITIES THAT STOOD
CHAPTER 11 STILL IN THEIR STRENGTH, ISRAEL BURNED NONE OF THEM, SAVE
HAZOR ONLY; THAT DID JOSHUA BURN. 14 AND ALL THE SPOIL OF
THESE CITIES, AND THE CATTLE, THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TOOK FOR
AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN JABIN KING OF HAZOR HAD HEARD
A PREY UNTO THEMSELVES; BUT EVERY MAN THEY SMOTE WITH THE
THOSE THINGS, THAT HE SENT TO JOBAB KING OF MADON, AND TO
EDGE OF THE SWORD, UNTIL THEY HAD DESTROYED THEM, NEITHER
THE KING OF SHIMRON, AND TO THE KING OF ACHSHAPH, 2 AND TO
LEFT THEY ANY TO BREATHE. 15 AS THE LORD COMMANDED MOSES
THE KINGS THAT WERE ON THE NORTH OF THE MOUNTAINS, AND
HIS SERVANT, SO DID MOSES COMMAND JOSHUA, AND SO DID
OF THE PLAINS SOUTH OF CHINNEROTH, AND IN THE VALLEY, AND
JOSHUA; HE LEFT NOTHING UNDONE OF ALL THAT THE LORD
IN THE BORDERS OF DOR ON THE WEST, 3 AND TO THE CANAANITE
COMMANDED MOSES. 16 SO JOSHUA TOOK ALL THAT LAND, THE
ON THE EAST AND ON THE WEST, AND TO THE AMORITE, AND THE
HILLS, AND ALL THE SOUTH COUNTRY, AND ALL THE LAND OF
HITTITE, AND THE PERIZZITE, AND THE JEBUSITE IN THE
GOSHEN, AND THE VALLEY, AND THE PLAIN, AND THE MOUNTAIN
MOUNTAINS, AND TO THE HIVITE UNDER HERMON IN THE LAND OF
OF ISRAEL, AND THE VALLEY OF THE SAME; 17 EVEN FROM THE
MIZPEH. 4 AND THEY WENT OUT, THEY AND ALL THEIR HOSTS WITH
MOUNT HALAK, THAT GOETH UP TO SEIR, EVEN UNTO BAAL-GAD IN
THEM, MUCH PEOPLE, EVEN AS THE SAND THAT IS UPON THE SEA
THE VALLEY OF LEBANON UNDER MOUNT HERMON: AND ALL THEIR
SHORE IN MULTITUDE, WITH HORSES AND CHARIOTS VERY MANY. 5
KINGS HE TOOK, AND SMOTE THEM, AND SLEW THEM. 18 JOSHUA
AND WHEN ALL THESE KINGS WERE MET TOGETHER, THEY CAME
MADE WAR A LONG TIME WITH ALL THOSE KINGS. 19 THERE WAS
AND PITCHED TOGETHER AT THE WATERS OF MEROM, TO FIGHT
NOT A CITY THAT MADE PEACE WITH THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, SAVE
AGAINST ISRAEL. 6 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO JOSHUA, BE NOT
THE HIVITES THE INHABITANTS OF GIBEON: ALL OTHER THEY TOOK
AFRAID BECAUSE OF THEM: FOR TO MORROW ABOUT THIS TIME WILL
IN BATTLE. 20 FOR IT WAS OF THE LORD TO HARDEN THEIR HEARTS,
I DELIVER THEM UP ALL SLAIN BEFORE ISRAEL: THOU SHALT HOUGH
THAT THEY SHOULD COME AGAINST ISRAEL IN BATTLE, THAT HE
THEIR HORSES, AND BURN THEIR CHARIOTS WITH FIRE. 7 SO JOSHUA
MIGHT DESTROY THEM UTTERLY, AND THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE NO
CAME, AND ALL THE PEOPLE OF WAR WITH HIM, AGAINST THEM BY
FAVOUR, BUT THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THEM, AS THE LORD
THE WATERS OF MEROM SUDDENLY; AND THEY FELL UPON THEM. 8
COMMANDED MOSES. 21 AND AT THAT TIME CAME JOSHUA, AND
AND THE LORD DELIVERED THEM INTO THE HAND OF ISRAEL, WHO
CUT OFF THE ANAKIMS FROM THE MOUNTAINS, FROM HEBRON,
SMOTE THEM, AND CHASED THEM UNTO GREAT ZIDON, AND UNTO
FROM DEBIR, FROM ANAB, AND FROM ALL THE MOUNTAINS OF
MISREPHOTH-MAIM, AND UNTO THE VALLEY OF MIZPEH EASTWARD;
JUDAH, AND FROM ALL THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL: JOSHUA
AND THEY SMOTE THEM, UNTIL THEY LEFT THEM NONE REMAINING.
DESTROYED THEM UTTERLY WITH THEIR CITIES. 22 THERE WAS

10 AND JOSHUA AT THAT TIME TURNED BACK, AND TOOK HAZOR,
23 SO JOSHUA TOOK THE WHOLE LAND, ACCORDING TO ALL THAT
AND SMOTE THE KING THEREOF WITH THE SWORD: FOR HAZOR
THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES; AND JOSHUA GAVE IT FOR AN

LEFT TO BREATHE: AND HE BURNT HAZOR WITH FIRE. 12 AND ALL

THE LORD SPAKE IN THAT DAY; FOR THOU HEARDEST IN THAT DAY

SUBURBS FOR THEIR CATTLE AND FOR THEIR SUBSTANCE. 5 AS THE
LORD COMMANDED MOSES, SO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID, AND
THEY DIVIDED THE LAND. 6 THEN THE CHILDREN OF JUDAH CAME
UNTO JOSHUA IN GILGAL: AND CALEB THE SON OF JEPHUNNEH THE
KENEZITE SAID UNTO HIM, THOU KNOWEST THE THING THAT THE
LORD SAID UNTO MOSES THE MAN OF GOD CONCERNING ME AND

THE SERVANT OF THE LORD SENT ME FROM KADESHBARNEA TO ESPY

FOLLOWED THE LORD MY GOD. 9 AND MOSES SWARE ON THAT DAY,
SAYING, SURELY THE LAND WHEREON THY FEET HAVE TRODDEN
SHALL BE THINE INHERITANCE, AND THY CHILDREN’S FOR EVER,
BECAUSE THOU HAST WHOLLY FOLLOWED THE LORD MY GOD. 10
AND NOW, BEHOLD, THE LORD HATH KEPT ME ALIVE, AS HE SAID,

WORD UNTO MOSES, WHILE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WANDERED
IN THE WILDERNESS: AND NOW, LO, I AM THIS DAY FOURSCORE AND
FIVE YEARS OLD. 11 AS YET I AM AS STRONG THIS DAY AS I WAS IN
THE DAY THAT MOSES SENT ME: AS MY STRENGTH WAS THEN, EVEN

HAVE NO PART IN THE LORD: SO SHALL YOUR CHILDREN MAKE OUR BE A WITNESS BETWEEN US THAT THE LORD IS GOD.
CHILDREN CEASE FROM FEARING THE LORD. 26 THEREFORE WE SAID,
LET US NOW PREPARE TO BUILD US AN ALTAR, NOT FOR BURNT
OFFERING, NOR FOR SACRIFICE: 27 BUT THAT IT MAY BE A WITNESS
BETWEEN US, AND YOU, AND OUR GENERATIONS AFTER US, THAT
WE MIGHT 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 PART IN THE LORD. 28
THEREFORE SAID WE, THAT IT SHALL BE, WHEN THEY SHOULD SO
SAY TO US OR TO OUR GENERATIONS IN TIME TO COME, THAT WE
MAY SAY AGAIN, BEHOLD THE PATTERN OF THE ALTAR OF THE LORD,
WHICH OUR FATHERS MADE, NOT FOR BURNT OFFERINGS, NOR FOR
SACRIFICES; BUT IT IS A WITNESS BETWEEN US AND YOU. 29 GOD
FORBID THAT WE SHOULD REBEL AGAINST THE LORD, AND TURN
THIS DAY FROM FOLLOWING THE LORD, TO BUILD AN ALTAR FOR
BURNT OFFERINGS, FOR MEAT OFFERINGS, OR FOR SACRIFICES,
BESIDE THE ALTAR OF THE LORD OUR GOD THAT IS BEFORE HIS
TABERNACLE. 30 AND WHEN PHINEHAS THE PRIEST, AND THE
PRINCES OF THE CONGREGATION AND 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. 31 AND

YOUR SOULS, THAT NOT ONE THING HATH FAILED OF ALL THE GOOD
GIVEN REST UNTO ISRAEL FROM ALL THEIR ENEMIES ROUND ABOUT,
THINGS WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD SPAKE CONCERNING YOU; ALL

CUT OFF, EVEN UNTO THE GREAT SEA WESTWARD. 5 AND THE LORD

QUICKLY FROM OFF THE GOOD LAND WHICH HE HATH GIVEN UNTO
THEM FROM OUT OF YOUR SIGHT; AND YE SHALL POSSESS THEIR

LAND, AS THE LORD YOUR GOD HATH PROMISED UNTO YOU. 6 BE YE
THEREFORE VERY COURAGEOUS TO KEEP AND TO DO ALL THAT IS
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF MOSES, THAT YE TURN NOT
ASIDE THEREFROM TO THE RIGHT HAND OR TO THE LEFT; 7 THAT YE
COME NOT AMONG THESE NATIONS, THESE THAT REMAIN AMONG
YOU; NEITHER MAKE MENTION OF THE NAME OF THEIR GODS, NOR
CAUSE TO SWEAR BY THEM, NEITHER SERVE THEM, NOR BOW
YOURSELVES UNTO THEM: 8 BUT CLEAVE UNTO THE LORD YOUR GOD,
AS YE HAVE DONE UNTO THIS DAY. 9 FOR THE LORD HATH DRIVEN
OUT FROM BEFORE YOU GREAT NATIONS AND STRONG: BUT AS FOR
YOU, NO MAN HATH BEEN ABLE TO STAND BEFORE YOU UNTO THIS
DAY. 10 ONE MAN OF YOU SHALL CHASE A THOUSAND: FOR THE
LORD YOUR GOD, HE IT IS THAT FIGHTETH FOR YOU, AS HE HATH
PROMISED YOU. 11 TAKE GOOD HEED THEREFORE UNTO

AND CITIES WHICH YE BUILT NOT, AND YE DWELL IN THEM; OF THE
AND JOSHUA GATHERED ALL THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL TO SHECHEM,
VINEYARDS AND OLIVEYARDS WHICH YE PLANTED NOT DO YE EAT.
AND CALLED FOR THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL, AND FOR THEIR HEADS,
14 NOW THEREFORE FEAR THE LORD, AND SERVE HIM IN SINCERITY
AND FOR THEIR JUDGES, AND FOR THEIR OFFICERS; AND THEY
AND IN TRUTH: AND PUT AWAY THE GODS WHICH YOUR FATHERS
PRESENTED THEMSELVES BEFORE GOD. 2 AND JOSHUA SAID UNTO
SERVED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD, AND IN EGYPT; AND
ALL THE PEOPLE, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, YOUR

FATHERS DWELT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD IN OLD TIME,
THE LORD, CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE; WHETHER
EVEN TERAH, THE FATHER OF ABRAHAM, AND THE FATHER OF
THE GODS WHICH YOUR FATHERS SERVED THAT WERE ON THE
NACHOR: AND THEY SERVED OTHER GODS. 3 AND I TOOK YOUR
OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD, OR THE GODS OF THE AMORITES, IN
FATHER ABRAHAM FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD, AND LED
WHOSE LAND YE DWELL: BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL

SEED, AND GAVE HIM ISAAC. 4 AND I GAVE UNTO ISAAC JACOB AND
FORBID THAT WE SHOULD FORSAKE THE LORD, TO SERVE OTHER
ESAU: AND I GAVE UNTO ESAU MOUNT SEIR, TO POSSESS IT; BUT
GODS; 17 FOR THE LORD OUR GOD, HE IT IS THAT BROUGHT US UP
JACOB AND HIS CHILDREN WENT DOWN INTO EGYPT. 5 I SENT
AND OUR FATHERS OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, FROM THE HOUSE
MOSES ALSO AND AARON, AND I PLAGUED EGYPT, ACCORDING TO
OF BONDAGE, AND WHICH DID THOSE GREAT SIGNS IN OUR SIGHT,
THAT WHICH I DID AMONG THEM: AND AFTERWARD I BROUGHT YOU
AND PRESERVED US IN ALL THE WAY WHEREIN WE WENT, AND
OUT. 6 AND I BROUGHT YOUR FATHERS OUT OF EGYPT: AND YE CAME
AMONG ALL THE PEOPLE THROUGH WHOM WE PASSED: 18 AND THE
UNTO THE SEA; AND THE EGYPTIANS PURSUED AFTER YOUR FATHERS
LORD DRAVE OUT FROM BEFORE US ALL THE PEOPLE, EVEN THE
WITH CHARIOTS AND HORSEMEN UNTO THE RED SEA. 7 AND WHEN
AMORITES WHICH DWELT IN THE LAND: THEREFORE WILL WE ALSO
THEY CRIED UNTO THE LORD, HE PUT DARKNESS BETWEEN YOU AND
SERVE THE LORD; FOR HE IS OUR GOD. 19 AND JOSHUA SAID UNTO
THE EGYPTIANS, AND BROUGHT THE SEA UPON THEM, AND
THE PEOPLE, YE CANNOT SERVE THE LORD: FOR HE IS AN HOLY GOD;
COVERED THEM; AND YOUR EYES HAVE SEEN WHAT I HAVE DONE IN
HE IS A JEALOUS GOD; HE WILL NOT FORGIVE YOUR
EGYPT: AND YE DWELT IN THE WILDERNESS A LONG SEASON. 8 AND
TRANSGRESSIONS NOR YOUR SINS. 20 IF YE FORSAKE THE LORD,
I BROUGHT YOU INTO THE LAND OF THE AMORITES, WHICH DWELT
AND SERVE STRANGE GODS, THEN HE WILL TURN AND DO YOU HURT,

MIRACLES WHICH OUR FATHERS TOLD US OF, SAYING, DID NOT THE
CHAPTER 6 LORD BRING US UP FROM EGYPT? BUT NOW THE LORD HATH
FORSAKEN US, AND DELIVERED US INTO THE HANDS OF THE

FATHER’S HOUSEHOLD, AND THE MEN OF THE CITY, THAT HE COULD NIGHT: FOR IT WAS DRY UPON THE FLEECE ONLY, AND THERE WAS
NOT DO IT BY DAY, THAT HE DID IT BY NIGHT. 28 AND WHEN THE DEW ON ALL THE GROUND.
MEN OF THE CITY AROSE EARLY IN THE MORNING, BEHOLD, THE
ALTAR OF BAAL WAS CAST DOWN, AND THE GROVE WAS CUT DOWN
THAT WAS BY IT, AND THE SECOND BULLOCK WAS OFFERED UPON
THE ALTAR THAT WAS BUILT. 29 AND THEY SAID ONE TO ANOTHER,
WHO HATH DONE THIS THING? AND WHEN THEY INQUIRED AND
ASKED, THEY SAID, GIDEON THE SON OF JOASH HATH DONE THIS
THING. 30 THEN THE MEN OF THE CITY SAID UNTO JOASH, BRING
OUT THY SON, THAT HE MAY DIE: BECAUSE HE HATH CAST DOWN
THE ALTAR OF BAAL, AND BECAUSE HE HATH CUT DOWN THE GROVE
THAT WAS BY IT. 31 AND JOASH SAID UNTO ALL THAT STOOD
AGAINST HIM, WILL YE PLEAD FOR BAAL? WILL YE SAVE HIM? HE
THAT WILL PLEAD FOR HIM, LET HIM BE PUT TO DEATH WHILST IT

BECAUSE ONE HATH CAST DOWN HIS ALTAR. 32 THEREFORE ON
THAT DAY HE CALLED HIM JERUBBAAL, SAYING, LET BAAL PLEAD
AGAINST HIM, BECAUSE HE HATH THROWN DOWN HIS ALTAR. 33
THEN ALL THE MIDIANITES AND THE AMALEKITES AND THE
CHILDREN OF THE EAST WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, AND WENT
OVER, AND PITCHED IN THE VALLEY OF JEZREEL. 34 BUT THE SPIRIT
OF THE LORD CAME UPON GIDEON, AND HE BLEW A TRUMPET; AND
ABIEZER WAS GATHERED AFTER HIM. 35 AND HE SENT MESSENGERS
THROUGHOUT ALL MANASSEH; WHO ALSO WAS GATHERED AFTER

DRY UPON ALL THE EARTH BESIDE, THEN SHALL I KNOW THAT THOU
WILT SAVE ISRAEL BY MINE HAND, AS THOU HAST SAID. 38 AND IT
WAS SO: FOR HE ROSE UP EARLY ON THE MORROW, AND THRUST

MULTITUDE; AND THEIR CAMELS WERE WITHOUT NUMBER, AS THE

TOGETHER OUT OF NAPHTALI, AND OUT OF ASHER, AND OUT OF ALL

SENT MESSENGERS THROUGHOUT ALL MOUNT EPHRAIM, SAYING,
COME DOWN AGAINST THE MIDIANITES, AND TAKE BEFORE THEM

AND FALL UPON US: FOR AS THE MAN IS, SO IS HIS STRENGTH. AND

THE MIDDLE OF THE LAND, AND ANOTHER COMPANY COME ALONG THERE WAS A STRONG TOWER WITHIN THE CITY, AND THITHER FLED

AND HE FLED BEFORE HIM, AND MANY WERE OVERTHROWN AND CALLED HASTILY UNTO THE YOUNG MAN HIS ARMOURBEARER, AND
WOUNDED, EVEN UNTO THE ENTERING OF THE GATE. 41 AND SAID UNTO HIM, DRAW THY SWORD, AND SLAY ME, THAT MEN SAY

SAW THAT ABIMELECH WAS DEAD, THEY DEPARTED EVERY MAN
UNTO HIS PLACE. 56 THUS GOD RENDERED THE WICKEDNESS OF
ABIMELECH, WHICH HE DID UNTO HIS FATHER, IN SLAYING HIS
SEVENTY BRETHREN: 57 AND ALL THE EVIL OF THE MEN OF
SHECHEM DID GOD RENDER UPON THEIR HEADS: AND UPON THEM

CALLED HAVOTH-JAIR UNTO THIS DAY, WHICH ARE IN THE LAND OF
GILEAD. 5 AND JAIR DIED, AND WAS BURIED IN CAMON. 6 AND THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID EVIL AGAIN IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD,
AND SERVED BAALIM, AND ASHTAROTH, AND THE GODS OF SYRIA,
AND THE GODS OF ZIDON, AND THE GODS OF MOAB, AND THE GODS
OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON, AND THE GODS OF THE PHILISTINES,
AND FORSOOK THE LORD, AND SERVED NOT HIM. 7 AND THE ANGER
OF THE LORD WAS HOT AGAINST ISRAEL, AND HE SOLD THEM INTO
THE HANDS OF THE PHILISTINES, AND INTO THE HANDS OF THE
CHILDREN OF AMMON. 8 AND THAT YEAR THEY VEXED AND
OPPRESSED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL: EIGHTEEN YEARS, ALL THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THAT WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE JORDAN IN
THE LAND OF THE AMORITES, WHICH IS IN GILEAD. 9 MOREOVER
THE CHILDREN OF AMMON PASSED OVER JORDAN TO FIGHT ALSO
AGAINST JUDAH, AND AGAINST BENJAMIN, AND AGAINST THE
HOUSE OF EPHRAIM; SO THAT ISRAEL WAS SORE DISTRESSED. 10
AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL CRIED UNTO THE LORD, SAYING, WE
HAVE SINNED AGAINST THEE, BOTH BECAUSE WE HAVE FORSAKEN
OUR GOD, AND ALSO SERVED BAALIM. 11 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, DID NOT I DELIVER YOU FROM THE
EGYPTIANS, AND FROM THE AMORITES, FROM THE CHILDREN OF
AMMON, AND FROM THE PHILISTINES? 12 THE ZIDONIANS ALSO,
AND THE AMALEKITES, AND THE MAONITES, DID OPPRESS YOU; AND
YE CRIED TO ME, AND I DELIVERED YOU OUT OF THEIR HAND. 13 YET
YE HAVE FORSAKEN ME, AND SERVED OTHER GODS: WHEREFORE I
WILL DELIVER YOU NO MORE. 14 GO AND CRY UNTO THE GODS
WHICH YE HAVE CHOSEN; LET THEM DELIVER YOU IN THE TIME OF
YOUR TRIBULATION. 15 AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SAID UNTO

 JUDGES
UNTO JORDAN: NOW THEREFORE RESTORE THOSE LANDS AGAIN
CHAPTER 11 PEACEABLY. 14 AND JEPHTHAH SENT MESSENGERS AGAIN UNTO THE
KING OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON: 15 AND SAID UNTO HIM, THUS
SAITH JEPHTHAH, ISRAEL TOOK NOT AWAY THE LAND OF MOAB, NOR
NOW JEPHTHAH THE GILEADITE WAS A MIGHTY MAN OF VALOUR,
THE LAND OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON: 16 BUT WHEN ISRAEL
AND HE WAS THE SON OF AN HARLOT: AND GILEAD BEGAT
CAME UP FROM EGYPT, AND WALKED THROUGH THE WILDERNESS
JEPHTHAH. 2 AND GILEAD’S WIFE BARE HIM SONS; AND HIS WIFE’S
UNTO THE RED SEA, AND CAME TO KADESH; 17 THEN ISRAEL SENT
SONS GREW UP, AND THEY THRUST OUT JEPHTHAH, AND SAID UNTO
MESSENGERS UNTO THE KING OF EDOM, SAYING, LET ME, I PRAY
HIM, THOU SHALT NOT INHERIT IN OUR FATHER’S HOUSE; FOR THOU
THEE, PASS THROUGH THY LAND: BUT THE KING OF EDOM WOULD
ART THE SON OF A STRANGE WOMAN. 3 THEN JEPHTHAH FLED FROM
NOT HEARKEN THERETO. AND IN LIKE MANNER THEY SENT UNTO
HIS BRETHREN, AND DWELT IN THE LAND OF TOB: AND THERE WERE
THE KING OF MOAB: BUT HE WOULD NOT CONSENT: AND ISRAEL
GATHERED VAIN MEN TO JEPHTHAH, AND WENT OUT WITH HIM. 4
ABODE IN KADESH. 18 THEN THEY WENT ALONG THROUGH THE
AND IT CAME TO PASS IN PROCESS OF TIME, THAT THE CHILDREN OF
WILDERNESS, AND COMPASSED THE LAND OF EDOM, AND THE LAND
AMMON MADE WAR AGAINST ISRAEL. 5 AND IT WAS SO, THAT WHEN

THE CHILDREN OF AMMON MADE WAR AGAINST ISRAEL, THE

ELDERS OF GILEAD WENT TO FETCH JEPHTHAH OUT OF THE LAND OF

AND JEPHTHAH SAID UNTO THE ELDERS OF GILEAD, DID NOT YE
LET US PASS, WE PRAY THEE, THROUGH THY LAND INTO MY PLACE.
HATE ME, AND EXPEL ME OUT OF MY FATHER’S HOUSE? AND WHY
20 BUT SIHON TRUSTED NOT ISRAEL TO PASS THROUGH HIS COAST:
ARE YE COME UNTO ME NOW WHEN YE ARE IN DISTRESS? 8 AND
BUT SIHON GATHERED ALL HIS PEOPLE TOGETHER, AND PITCHED IN
THE ELDERS OF GILEAD SAID UNTO JEPHTHAH, THEREFORE WE
JAHAZ, AND FOUGHT AGAINST ISRAEL. 21 AND THE LORD GOD OF
TURN AGAIN TO THEE NOW, THAT THOU MAYEST GO WITH US, AND
ISRAEL DELIVERED SIHON AND ALL HIS PEOPLE INTO THE HAND OF
FIGHT AGAINST THE CHILDREN OF AMMON, AND BE OUR HEAD OVER
ISRAEL, AND THEY SMOTE THEM: SO ISRAEL POSSESSED ALL THE
ALL THE INHABITANTS OF GILEAD. 9 AND JEPHTHAH SAID UNTO THE
LAND OF THE AMORITES, THE INHABITANTS OF THAT COUNTRY. 22
ELDERS OF GILEAD, IF YE BRING ME HOME AGAIN TO FIGHT AGAINST
AND THEY POSSESSED ALL THE COASTS OF THE AMORITES, FROM
THE CHILDREN OF AMMON, AND THE LORD DELIVER THEM BEFORE
ARNON EVEN UNTO JABBOK, AND FROM THE WILDERNESS EVEN
ME, SHALL I BE YOUR HEAD? 10 AND THE ELDERS OF GILEAD SAID
UNTO JORDAN. 23 SO NOW THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL HATH
UNTO JEPHTHAH, THE LORD BE WITNESS BETWEEN US, IF WE DO
DISPOSSESSED THE AMORITES FROM BEFORE HIS PEOPLE ISRAEL,
NOT SO ACCORDING TO THY WORDS. 11 THEN JEPHTHAH WENT
AND SHOULDEST THOU POSSESS IT? 24 WILT NOT THOU POSSESS
WITH THE ELDERS OF GILEAD, AND THE PEOPLE MADE HIM HEAD
THAT WHICH CHEMOSH THY GOD GIVETH THEE TO POSSESS? SO
AND CAPTAIN OVER THEM: AND JEPHTHAH UTTERED ALL HIS WORDS
WHOMSOEVER THE LORD OUR GOD SHALL DRIVE OUT FROM BEFORE
BEFORE THE LORD IN MIZPEH. 12 AND JEPHTHAH SENT
US, THEM WILL WE POSSESS. 25 AND NOW ART THOU ANY THING
MESSENGERS UNTO THE KING OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON,
BETTER THAN BALAK THE SON OF ZIPPOR, KING OF MOAB? DID HE
SAYING, WHAT HAST THOU TO DO WITH ME, THAT THOU ART COME

CHILDREN OF AMMON ANSWERED UNTO THE MESSENGERS OF

JEPHTHAH, BECAUSE ISRAEL TOOK AWAY MY LAND, WHEN THEY

 JUDGES
THEREFORE DID YE NOT RECOVER THEM WITHIN THAT TIME? 27 SHE WENT WITH HER COMPANIONS, AND BEWAILED HER VIRGINITY
WHEREFORE I HAVE NOT SINNED AGAINST THEE, BUT THOU DOEST UPON THE MOUNTAINS. 39 AND IT CAME TO PASS AT THE END OF
ME WRONG TO WAR AGAINST ME: THE LORD THE JUDGE BE JUDGE TWO MONTHS, THAT SHE RETURNED UNTO HER FATHER, WHO DID
THIS DAY BETWEEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND THE CHILDREN WITH HER ACCORDING TO HIS VOW WHICH HE HAD VOWED: AND
OF AMMON. 28 HOWBEIT THE KING OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON SHE KNEW NO MAN. AND IT WAS A CUSTOM IN ISRAEL, 40 THAT THE
HEARKENED NOT UNTO THE WORDS OF JEPHTHAH WHICH HE SENT DAUGHTERS OF ISRAEL WENT YEARLY TO LAMENT THE DAUGHTER
HIM. 29 THEN THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD CAME UPON JEPHTHAH, AND OF JEPHTHAH THE GILEADITE FOUR DAYS IN A YEAR.
HE PASSED OVER GILEAD, AND MANASSEH, AND PASSED OVER
MIZPEH OF GILEAD, AND FROM MIZPEH OF GILEAD HE PASSED OVER
UNTO THE CHILDREN OF AMMON. 30 AND JEPHTHAH VOWED A VOW
UNTO THE LORD, AND SAID, IF THOU SHALT WITHOUT FAIL DELIVER
THE CHILDREN OF AMMON INTO MINE HANDS, 31 THEN IT SHALL
BE, THAT WHATSOEVER COMETH FORTH OF THE DOORS OF MY
HOUSE TO MEET ME, WHEN I RETURN IN PEACE FROM THE
CHILDREN OF AMMON, SHALL SURELY BE THE LORD’S, AND I WILL
OFFER IT UP FOR A BURNT OFFERING. 32 SO JEPHTHAH PASSED OVER
UNTO THE CHILDREN OF AMMON TO FIGHT AGAINST THEM; AND THE
LORD DELIVERED THEM INTO HIS HANDS. 33 AND HE SMOTE THEM
FROM AROER, EVEN TILL THOU COME TO MINNITH, EVEN TWENTY
CITIES, AND UNTO THE PLAIN OF THE VINEYARDS, WITH A VERY
GREAT SLAUGHTER. THUS THE CHILDREN OF AMMON WERE
SUBDUED BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. 34 AND JEPHTHAH
CAME TO MIZPEH UNTO HIS HOUSE, AND, BEHOLD, HIS DAUGHTER
CAME OUT TO MEET HIM WITH TIMBRELS AND WITH DANCES: AND
SHE WAS HIS ONLY CHILD; BESIDE HER HE HAD NEITHER SON NOR
DAUGHTER. 35 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN HE SAW HER, THAT HE
RENT HIS CLOTHES, AND SAID, ALAS, MY DAUGHTER! THOU HAST
BROUGHT ME VERY LOW, AND THOU ART ONE OF THEM THAT
TROUBLE ME: FOR I HAVE OPENED MY MOUTH UNTO THE LORD, AND
I CANNOT GO BACK. 36 AND SHE SAID UNTO HIM, MY FATHER, IF
THOU HAST OPENED THY MOUTH UNTO THE LORD, DO TO ME
ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH HATH PROCEEDED OUT OF THY MOUTH;
FORASMUCH AS THE LORD HATH TAKEN VENGEANCE FOR THEE OF
THINE ENEMIES, EVEN OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON. 37 AND SHE
SAID UNTO HER FATHER, LET THIS THING BE DONE FOR ME: LET ME
ALONE TWO MONTHS, THAT I MAY GO UP AND DOWN UPON THE
MOUNTAINS, AND BEWAIL MY VIRGINITY, I AND MY FELLOWS. 38
AND HE SAID, GO. AND HE SENT HER AWAY FOR TWO MONTHS: AND

PIRATHON IN THE LAND OF EPHRAIM, IN THE MOUNT OF THE
AND THE MEN OF EPHRAIM GATHERED THEMSELVES TOGETHER,
AMALEKITES.
AND WENT NORTHWARD, AND SAID UNTO JEPHTHAH, WHEREFORE
PASSEDST THOU OVER TO FIGHT AGAINST THE CHILDREN OF AMMON,
AND DIDST NOT CALL US TO GO WITH THEE? WE WILL BURN THINE
HOUSE UPON THEE WITH FIRE. 2 AND JEPHTHAH SAID UNTO THEM,
I AND MY PEOPLE WERE AT GREAT STRIFE WITH THE CHILDREN OF
AMMON; AND WHEN I CALLED YOU, YE DELIVERED ME NOT OUT OF
THEIR HANDS. 3 AND WHEN I SAW THAT YE DELIVERED ME NOT, I
PUT MY LIFE IN MY HANDS, AND PASSED OVER AGAINST THE
CHILDREN OF AMMON, AND THE LORD DELIVERED THEM INTO MY
HAND: WHEREFORE THEN ARE YE COME UP UNTO ME THIS DAY, TO
FIGHT AGAINST ME? 4 THEN JEPHTHAH GATHERED TOGETHER ALL
THE MEN OF GILEAD, AND FOUGHT WITH EPHRAIM: AND THE MEN
OF GILEAD SMOTE EPHRAIM, BECAUSE THEY SAID, YE GILEADITES
ARE FUGITIVES OF EPHRAIM AMONG THE EPHRAIMITES, AND
AMONG THE MANASSITES. 5 AND THE GILEADITES TOOK THE
PASSAGES OF JORDAN BEFORE THE EPHRAIMITES: AND IT WAS SO,
THAT WHEN THOSE EPHRAIMITES WHICH WERE ESCAPED SAID, LET
ME GO OVER; THAT THE MEN OF GILEAD SAID UNTO HIM, ART THOU
AN EPHRAIMITE? IF HE SAID, NAY; 6 THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM,
SAY NOW SHIBBOLETH: AND HE SAID SIBBOLETH: FOR HE COULD
NOT FRAME TO PRONOUNCE IT RIGHT. THEN THEY TOOK HIM, AND
SLEW HIM AT THE PASSAGES OF JORDAN: AND THERE FELL AT THAT
TIME OF THE EPHRAIMITES FORTY AND TWO THOUSAND. 7 AND
JEPHTHAH JUDGED ISRAEL SIX YEARS. THEN DIED JEPHTHAH THE
GILEADITE, AND WAS BURIED IN ONE OF THE CITIES OF GILEAD. 8
AND AFTER HIM IBZAN OF BETH-LEHEM JUDGED ISRAEL. 9 AND HE
HAD THIRTY SONS, AND THIRTY DAUGHTERS, WHOM HE SENT
ABROAD, AND TOOK IN THIRTY DAUGHTERS FROM ABROAD FOR HIS
SONS. AND HE JUDGED ISRAEL SEVEN YEARS. 10 THEN DIED IBZAN,

12 AND ELON THE ZEBULONITE DIED, AND WAS BURIED IN AIJALON

KNEW NOT THAT HE WAS AN ANGEL OF THE LORD. 17 AND MANOAH
THOU SHALT CONCEIVE, AND BEAR A SON. 4 NOW THEREFORE
SAID UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE LORD, WHAT IS THY NAME, THAT
BEWARE, I PRAY THEE, AND DRINK NOT WINE NOR STRONG DRINK,
WHEN THY SAYINGS COME TO PASS WE MAY DO THEE HONOUR? 18
AND EAT NOT ANY UNCLEAN THING: 5 FOR, LO, THOU SHALT

A KID WITH A MEAT OFFERING, AND OFFERED IT UPON A ROCK UNTO
WOMB: AND HE SHALL BEGIN TO DELIVER ISRAEL OUT OF THE HAND
THE LORD: AND THE ANGEL DID WONDROUSLY; AND MANOAH AND
OF THE PHILISTINES. 6 THEN THE WOMAN CAME AND TOLD HER
HIS WIFE LOOKED ON. 20 FOR IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE FLAME
HUSBAND, SAYING, A MAN OF GOD CAME UNTO ME, AND HIS
WENT UP TOWARD HEAVEN FROM OFF THE ALTAR, THAT THE ANGEL
COUNTENANCE WAS LIKE THE COUNTENANCE OF AN ANGEL OF GOD,
OF THE LORD ASCENDED IN THE FLAME OF THE ALTAR. AND
VERY TERRIBLE: BUT I ASKED HIM NOT WHENCE HE WAS, NEITHER
MANOAH AND HIS WIFE LOOKED ON IT, AND FELL ON THEIR FACES
TOLD HE ME HIS NAME: 7 BUT HE SAID UNTO ME, BEHOLD, THOU

SHALT CONCEIVE, AND BEAR A SON; AND NOW DRINK NO WINE NOR
APPEAR TO MANOAH AND TO HIS WIFE. THEN MANOAH KNEW THAT
STRONG DRINK, NEITHER EAT ANY UNCLEAN THING: FOR THE CHILD
HE WAS AN ANGEL OF THE LORD. 22 AND MANOAH SAID UNTO HIS
SHALL BE A NAZARITE TO GOD FROM THE WOMB TO THE DAY OF HIS
WIFE, WE SHALL SURELY DIE, BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN GOD. 23 BUT
DEATH. 8 THEN MANOAH INTREATED THE LORD, AND SAID, O MY

LORD, LET THE MAN OF GOD WHICH THOU DIDST SEND COME AGAIN
HE WOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED A BURNT OFFERING AND A MEAT

OFFERING AT OUR HANDS, NEITHER WOULD HE HAVE SHEWED US
THAT SHALL BE BORN. 9 AND GOD HEARKENED TO THE VOICE OF
ALL THESE THINGS, NOR WOULD AS AT THIS TIME HAVE TOLD US

SUCH THINGS AS THESE. 24 AND THE WOMAN BARE A SON, AND
AS SHE SAT IN THE FIELD: BUT MANOAH HER HUSBAND WAS NOT
CALLED HIS NAME SAMSON: AND THE CHILD GREW, AND THE LORD

AND SAMSON WENT DOWN TO TIMNATH, AND SAW A WOMAN IN
SWEETNESS. AND THEY COULD NOT IN THREE DAYS EXPOUND THE
TIMNATH OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE PHILISTINES. 2 AND HE CAME

THE SUN WENT DOWN, WHAT IS SWEETER THAN HONEY? AND WHAT
OF THE LORD CAME MIGHTILY UPON HIM, AND HE RENT HIM AS HE
IS STRONGER THAN A LION? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, IF YE HAD

NOT PLOWED WITH MY HEIFER, YE HAD NOT FOUND OUT MY RIDDLE.
HE TOLD NOT HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER WHAT HE HAD DONE. 7
19 AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD CAME UPON HIM, AND HE WENT
AND HE WENT DOWN, AND TALKED WITH THE WOMAN; AND SHE
DOWN TO ASHKELON, AND SLEW THIRTY MEN OF THEM, AND TOOK
PLEASED SAMSON WELL. 8 AND AFTER A TIME HE RETURNED TO
THEIR SPOIL, AND GAVE CHANGE OF GARMENTS UNTO THEM WHICH
TAKE HER, AND HE TURNED ASIDE TO SEE THE CARCASE OF THE LION:
EXPOUNDED THE RIDDLE. AND HIS ANGER WAS KINDLED, AND HE

THAT HE HAD TAKEN THE HONEY OUT OF THE CARCASE OF THE LION.
10 SO HIS FATHER WENT DOWN UNTO THE WOMAN: AND SAMSON
MADE THERE A FEAST; FOR SO USED THE YOUNG MEN TO DO. 11 AND
IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THEY SAW HIM, THAT THEY BROUGHT
THIRTY COMPANIONS TO BE WITH HIM. 12 AND SAMSON SAID UNTO
THEM, I WILL NOW PUT FORTH A RIDDLE UNTO YOU: IF YE CAN
CERTAINLY DECLARE IT ME WITHIN THE SEVEN DAYS OF THE FEAST,

I VERILY THOUGHT THAT THOU HADST UTTERLY HATED HER;
LOOSED FROM OFF HIS HANDS. 15 AND HE FOUND A NEW JAWBONE

FOXES, AND TOOK FIREBRANDS, AND TURNED TAIL TO TAIL, AND PUT
THE JAWBONE OUT OF HIS HAND, AND CALLED THAT PLACE

SHOCKS, AND ALSO THE STANDING CORN, WITH THE VINEYARDS
AND FALL INTO THE HAND OF THE UNCIRCUMCISED? 19 BUT GOD
AND OLIVES. 6 THEN THE PHILISTINES SAID, WHO HATH DONE THIS?
CLAVE AN HOLLOW PLACE THAT WAS IN THE JAW, AND THERE CAME
AND THEY ANSWERED, SAMSON, THE SON IN LAW OF THE TIMNITE,
WATER THEREOUT; AND WHEN HE HAD DRUNK, HIS SPIRIT CAME
BECAUSE HE HAD TAKEN HIS WIFE, AND GIVEN HER TO HIS

COMPANION. AND THE PHILISTINES CAME UP, AND BURNT HER AND
THEREOF EN-HAKKORE, WHICH IS IN LEHI UNTO THIS DAY. 20 AND
HER FATHER WITH FIRE. 7 AND SAMSON SAID UNTO THEM, THOUGH
HE JUDGED ISRAEL IN THE DAYS OF THE PHILISTINES TWENTY YEARS.
YE HAVE DONE THIS, YET WILL I BE AVENGED OF YOU, AND AFTER
THAT I WILL CEASE. 8 AND HE SMOTE THEM HIP AND THIGH WITH A
GREAT SLAUGHTER: AND HE WENT DOWN AND DWELT IN THE TOP
OF THE ROCK ETAM. 9 THEN THE PHILISTINES WENT UP, AND
PITCHED IN JUDAH, AND SPREAD THEMSELVES IN LEHI. 10 AND THE
MEN OF JUDAH SAID, WHY ARE YE COME UP AGAINST US? AND THEY
ANSWERED, TO BIND SAMSON ARE WE COME UP, TO DO TO HIM AS
HE HATH DONE TO US. 11 THEN THREE THOUSAND MEN OF JUDAH
WENT TO THE TOP OF THE ROCK ETAM, AND SAID TO SAMSON,
KNOWEST THOU NOT THAT THE PHILISTINES ARE RULERS OVER US?
WHAT IS THIS THAT THOU HAST DONE UNTO US? AND HE SAID UNTO
THEM, AS THEY DID UNTO ME, SO HAVE I DONE UNTO THEM. 12 AND
THEY SAID UNTO HIM, WE ARE COME DOWN TO BIND THEE, THAT
WE MAY DELIVER THEE INTO THE HAND OF THE PHILISTINES. AND

US SPORT. AND THEY CALLED FOR SAMSON OUT OF THE PRISON
HOUSE; AND HE MADE THEM SPORT: AND THEY SET HIM BETWEEN
THE PILLARS. 26 AND SAMSON SAID UNTO THE LAD THAT HELD HIM
BY THE HAND, SUFFER ME THAT I MAY FEEL THE PILLARS
WHEREUPON THE HOUSE STANDETH, THAT I MAY LEAN UPON THEM.

LORDS OF THE PHILISTINES WERE THERE; AND THERE WERE UPON
THE ROOF ABOUT THREE THOUSAND MEN AND WOMEN, THAT

UNTO THE LORD, AND SAID, O LORD GOD, REMEMBER ME, I PRAY
THEE, AND STRENGTHEN ME, I PRAY THEE, ONLY THIS ONCE, O GOD,
THAT I MAY BE AT ONCE AVENGED OF THE PHILISTINES FOR MY TWO

MICAH SAID UNTO HIM, DWELL WITH ME, AND BE UNTO ME A
FATHER AND A PRIEST, AND I WILL GIVE THEE TEN SHEKELS OF
SILVER BY THE YEAR, AND A SUIT OF APPAREL, AND THY VICTUALS.
SO THE LEVITE WENT IN. 11 AND THE LEVITE WAS CONTENT TO
DWELL WITH THE MAN; AND THE YOUNG MAN WAS UNTO HIM AS

BUT RUTH CLAVE UNTO HER. 15 AND SHE SAID, BEHOLD, THY SISTER
IN LAW IS GONE BACK UNTO HER PEOPLE, AND UNTO HER GODS:
NOW IT CAME TO PASS IN THE DAYS WHEN THE JUDGES RULED,
RETURN THOU AFTER THY SISTER IN LAW. 16 AND RUTH SAID,
THAT THERE WAS A FAMINE IN THE LAND. AND A CERTAIN MAN OF
INTREAT ME NOT TO LEAVE THEE, OR TO RETURN FROM FOLLOWING
BETH-LEHEMJUDAH WENT TO SOJOURN IN THE COUNTRY OF MOAB,
AFTER THEE: FOR WHITHER THOU GOEST, I WILL GO; AND WHERE

BITTERLY WITH ME. 21 I WENT OUT FULL, AND THE LORD HATH
DAUGHTERS IN LAW, THAT SHE MIGHT RETURN FROM THE COUNTRY
BROUGHT ME HOME AGAIN EMPTY: WHY THEN CALL YE ME NAOMI,
OF MOAB: FOR SHE HAD HEARD IN THE COUNTRY OF MOAB HOW
SEEING THE LORD HATH TESTIFIED AGAINST ME, AND THE ALMIGHTY

ANY MORE SONS IN MY WOMB, THAT THEY MAY BE YOUR HUSBANDS?
12 TURN AGAIN, MY DAUGHTERS, GO YOUR WAY; FOR I AM TOO OLD
TO HAVE AN HUSBAND. IF I SHOULD SAY, I HAVE HOPE, IF I SHOULD
HAVE AN HUSBAND ALSO TO NIGHT, AND SHOULD ALSO BEAR SONS;
13 WOULD YE TARRY FOR THEM TILL THEY WERE GROWN? WOULD
YE STAY FOR THEM FROM HAVING HUSBANDS? NAY, MY DAUGHTERS;
FOR IT GRIEVETH ME MUCH FOR YOUR SAKES THAT THE HAND OF

CHAPTER 2 SHE SAID, LET ME FIND FAVOUR IN THY SIGHT, MY LORD; FOR THAT
THOU HAST COMFORTED ME, AND FOR THAT THOU HAST SPOKEN
FRIENDLY UNTO THINE HANDMAID, THOUGH I BE NOT LIKE UNTO

AMONG THE SHEAVES, AND REPROACH HER NOT: 16 AND LET FALL
OF THE FIELD BELONGING UNTO BOAZ, WHO WAS OF THE KINDRED
ALSO SOME OF THE HANDFULS OF PURPOSE FOR HER, AND LEAVE
OF ELIMELECH. 4 AND, BEHOLD, BOAZ CAME FROM BETHLEHEM,
THEM, THAT SHE MAY GLEAN THEM, AND REBUKE HER NOT. 17 SO
AND SAID UNTO THE REAPERS, THE LORD BE WITH YOU. AND THEY
SHE GLEANED IN THE FIELD UNTIL EVEN, AND BEAT OUT THAT SHE
ANSWERED HIM, THE LORD BLESS THEE. 5 THEN SAID BOAZ UNTO
HAD GLEANED: AND IT WAS ABOUT AN EPHAH OF BARLEY. 18 AND
HIS SERVANT THAT WAS SET OVER THE REAPERS, WHOSE DAMSEL
SHE TOOK IT UP, AND WENT INTO THE CITY: AND HER MOTHER IN
IS THIS? 6 AND THE SERVANT THAT WAS SET OVER THE REAPERS
LAW SAW WHAT SHE HAD GLEANED: AND SHE BROUGHT FORTH,
ANSWERED AND SAID, IT IS THE MOABITISH DAMSEL THAT CAME
AND GAVE TO HER THAT SHE HAD RESERVED AFTER SHE WAS
BACK WITH NAOMI OUT OF THE COUNTRY OF MOAB: 7 AND SHE SAID,
SUFFICED. 19 AND HER MOTHER IN LAW SAID UNTO HER, WHERE
I PRAY YOU, LET ME GLEAN AND GATHER AFTER THE REAPERS
HAST THOU GLEANED TO DAY? AND WHERE WROUGHTEST THOU?
AMONG THE SHEAVES: SO SHE CAME, AND HATH CONTINUED EVEN

AND SAID, THE MAN’S NAME WITH WHOM I WROUGHT TO DAY IS
MY DAUGHTER? GO NOT TO GLEAN IN ANOTHER FIELD, NEITHER GO
BOAZ. 20 AND NAOMI SAID UNTO HER DAUGHTER IN LAW, BLESSED
FROM HENCE, BUT ABIDE HERE FAST BY MY MAIDENS: 9 LET THINE
BE HE OF THE LORD, WHO HATH NOT LEFT OFF HIS KINDNESS TO

KEEP FAST BY MY YOUNG MEN, UNTIL THEY HAVE ENDED ALL MY
DRAWN. 10 THEN SHE FELL ON HER FACE, AND BOWED HERSELF TO
HARVEST. 22 AND NAOMI SAID UNTO RUTH HER DAUGHTER IN LAW,

IT IS GOOD, MY DAUGHTER, THAT THOU GO OUT WITH HIS MAIDENS,
THINE EYES, THAT THOU SHOULDEST TAKE KNOWLEDGE OF ME,
THAT THEY MEET THEE NOT IN ANY OTHER FIELD. 23 SO SHE KEPT
SEEING I AM A STRANGER? 11 AND BOAZ ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO
FAST BY THE MAIDENS OF BOAZ TO GLEAN UNTO THE END OF
HER, IT HATH FULLY BEEN SHEWED ME, ALL THAT THOU HAST DONE
BARLEY HARVEST AND OF WHEAT HARVEST; AND DWELT WITH HER
UNTO THY MOTHER IN LAW SINCE THE DEATH OF THINE HUSBAND:

CHAPTER 3 BEFORE ONE COULD KNOW ANOTHER. AND HE SAID, LET IT NOT BE
KNOWN THAT A WOMAN CAME INTO THE FLOOR. 15 ALSO HE SAID,
BRING THE VAIL THAT THOU HAST UPON THEE, AND HOLD IT. AND
THEN NAOMI HER MOTHER IN LAW SAID UNTO HER, MY DAUGHTER,
WHEN SHE HELD IT, HE MEASURED SIX MEASURES OF BARLEY, AND
SHALL I NOT SEEK REST FOR THEE, THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH THEE?
LAID IT ON HER: AND SHE WENT INTO THE CITY. 16 AND WHEN SHE
2 AND NOW IS NOT BOAZ OF OUR KINDRED, WITH WHOSE MAIDENS

UNCOVER HIS FEET, AND LAY THEE DOWN; AND HE WILL TELL THEE
WHAT THOU SHALT DO. 5 AND SHE SAID UNTO HER, ALL THAT THOU
SAYEST UNTO ME I WILL DO. 6 AND SHE WENT DOWN UNTO THE
FLOOR, AND DID ACCORDING TO ALL THAT HER 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. 8 AND IT CAME TO PASS AT MIDNIGHT, THAT
THE MAN WAS AFRAID, AND TURNED HIMSELF: AND, BEHOLD, A
WOMAN LAY AT HIS FEET. 9 AND HE SAID, WHO ART THOU? AND SHE
ANSWERED, I AM RUTH THINE HANDMAID: SPREAD THEREFORE THY
SKIRT OVER THINE HANDMAID; FOR THOU ART A NEAR KINSMAN. 10
AND HE SAID, BLESSED BE THOU OF THE LORD, MY DAUGHTER: FOR
THOU HAST SHEWED MORE KINDNESS IN THE LATTER END THAN AT
THE BEGINNING, INASMUCH AS THOU FOLLOWEDST NOT YOUNG
MEN, WHETHER POOR OR RICH. 11 AND NOW, MY DAUGHTER, FEAR
NOT; I WILL DO TO THEE ALL THAT THOU REQUIREST: FOR ALL THE
CITY OF MY PEOPLE DOTH KNOW THAT THOU ART A VIRTUOUS
WOMAN. 12 AND NOW IT IS TRUE THAT I AM THY NEAR KINSMAN:
HOWBEIT THERE IS A KINSMAN NEARER THAN I. 13 TARRY THIS
NIGHT, AND IT SHALL BE IN THE MORNING, THAT IF HE WILL
PERFORM UNTO THEE THE PART OF A KINSMAN, WELL; LET HIM DO
THE KINSMAN’S PART: BUT IF HE WILL NOT DO THE PART OF A

AND, BEHOLD, THE KINSMAN OF WHOM BOAZ SPAKE CAME BY;
SHE WAS HIS WIFE: AND WHEN HE WENT IN UNTO HER, THE LORD

FAMOUS IN ISRAEL. 15 AND HE SHALL BE UNTO THEE A RESTORER
THAT IS COME AGAIN OUT OF THE COUNTRY OF MOAB, SELLETH A
OF THY LIFE, AND A NOURISHER OF THINE OLD AGE: FOR THY

DAUGHTER IN LAW, WHICH LOVETH THEE, WHICH IS BETTER TO

INHABITANTS, AND BEFORE THE ELDERS OF MY PEOPLE. IF THOU

WILT REDEEM IT, REDEEM IT: BUT IF THOU WILT NOT REDEEM IT,
IT. 17 AND THE WOMEN HER NEIGHBOURS GAVE IT A NAME, SAYING,
THEN TELL ME, THAT I MAY KNOW: FOR THERE IS NONE TO REDEEM
THERE IS A SON BORN TO NAOMI; AND THEY CALLED HIS NAME
IT BESIDE THEE; AND I AM AFTER THEE. AND HE SAID, I WILL

REDEEM IT. 5 THEN SAID BOAZ, WHAT DAY THOU BUYEST THE FIELD
THESE ARE THE GENERATIONS OF PHAREZ: PHAREZ BEGAT HEZRON,

REDEEM IT FOR MYSELF, LEST I MAR MINE OWN INHERITANCE:
BEGAT JESSE, AND JESSE BEGAT DAVID.
REDEEM THOU MY RIGHT TO THYSELF; FOR I CANNOT REDEEM IT. 7
NOW THIS WAS THE MANNER IN FORMER TIME IN ISRAEL
CONCERNING REDEEMING AND CONCERNING CHANGING, FOR TO
CONFIRM ALL THINGS; A MAN PLUCKED OFF HIS SHOE, AND GAVE IT
TO HIS NEIGHBOUR: AND THIS WAS A TESTIMONY IN ISRAEL. 8
THEREFORE THE KINSMAN SAID UNTO BOAZ, BUY IT FOR THEE. SO
HE DREW OFF HIS SHOE. 9 AND BOAZ SAID UNTO THE ELDERS, AND
UNTO ALL THE PEOPLE, YE ARE WITNESSES THIS DAY, THAT I HAVE
BOUGHT ALL THAT WAS ELIMELECH’S, AND ALL THAT WAS

CHAPTER 1 NO, MY LORD, I AM A WOMAN OF A SORROWFUL SPIRIT: I HAVE
DRUNK NEITHER WINE NOR STRONG DRINK, BUT HAVE POURED OUT
MY SOUL BEFORE THE LORD. 16 COUNT NOT THINE HANDMAID FOR
NOW THERE WAS A CERTAIN MAN OF RAMATHAIM-ZOPHIM, OF
A DAUGHTER OF BELIAL: FOR OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF MY
MOUNT EPHRAIM, AND HIS NAME WAS ELKANAH, THE SON OF
COMPLAINT AND GRIEF HAVE I SPOKEN HITHERTO. 17 THEN ELI
JEROHAM, THE SON OF ELIHU, THE SON OF TOHU, THE SON OF ZUPH,
ANSWERED AND SAID, GO IN PEACE: AND THE GOD OF ISRAEL GRANT

THEE THY PETITION THAT THOU HAST ASKED OF HIM. 18 AND SHE
WAS HANNAH, AND THE NAME OF THE OTHER PENINNAH: AND

PENINNAH HAD CHILDREN, BUT HANNAH HAD NO CHILDREN. 3 AND

UNTIL THE CHILD BE WEANED, AND THEN I WILL BRING HIM, THAT
WEPT, AND DID NOT EAT. 8 THEN SAID ELKANAH HER HUSBAND TO
HE MAY APPEAR BEFORE THE LORD, AND THERE ABIDE FOR EVER. 23
HER, HANNAH, WHY WEEPEST THOU? AND WHY EATEST THOU NOT?
AND ELKANAH HER HUSBAND SAID UNTO HER, DO WHAT SEEMETH
AND WHY IS THY HEART GRIEVED? AM NOT I BETTER TO THEE THAN

ELI WAS LAID DOWN IN HIS PLACE, AND HIS EYES BEGAN TO WAX

DIM, THAT HE COULD NOT SEE; 3 AND ERE THE LAMP OF GOD WENT
AND THE LORD WAS WITH HIM, AND DID LET NONE OF HIS WORDS
OUT IN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, WHERE THE ARK OF GOD WAS,
FALL TO THE GROUND. 20 AND ALL ISRAEL FROM DAN EVEN TO

BEERSHEBA KNEW THAT SAMUEL WAS ESTABLISHED TO BE A

AND THE LORD CALLED YET AGAIN, SAMUEL. AND SAMUEL AROSE
AND WENT TO ELI, AND SAID, HERE AM I; FOR THOU DIDST CALL ME.
AND HE ANSWERED, I CALLED NOT, MY SON; LIE DOWN AGAIN. 7
NOW SAMUEL DID NOT YET KNOW THE LORD, NEITHER WAS THE
WORD OF THE LORD YET REVEALED UNTO 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 DIDST CALL ME. AND ELI
PERCEIVED THAT THE LORD HAD CALLED THE CHILD. 9 THEREFORE
ELI SAID UNTO SAMUEL, GO, LIE DOWN: AND IT SHALL BE, IF HE
CALL THEE, THAT THOU SHALT SAY, SPEAK, LORD; FOR THY SERVANT
HEARETH. SO SAMUEL WENT AND LAY DOWN IN HIS PLACE. 10 AND
THE LORD CAME, AND STOOD, AND CALLED AS AT OTHER TIMES,
SAMUEL, SAMUEL. THEN SAMUEL ANSWERED, 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 IT SHALL TINGLE. 12 IN THAT DAY I WILL
PERFORM AGAINST ELI ALL THINGS WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN
CONCERNING HIS HOUSE: WHEN I BEGIN, I WILL ALSO MAKE AN
END. 13 FOR I HAVE TOLD HIM THAT I WILL JUDGE HIS HOUSE FOR

MADE THEMSELVES VILE, AND HE RESTRAINED THEM NOT. 14 AND
THEREFORE I HAVE SWORN UNTO THE HOUSE OF ELI, THAT THE
INIQUITY OF ELI’S HOUSE SHALL NOT BE PURGED WITH SACRIFICE
NOR OFFERING FOR EVER. 15 AND SAMUEL LAY UNTIL THE MORNING,

DEATH THE WOMEN THAT STOOD BY HER SAID UNTO HER, FEAR NOT;

THERE. 12 AND THE MEN THAT DIED NOT WERE SMITTEN WITH THE
EMERODS: AND THE CRY OF THE CITY WENT UP TO HEAVEN.
AND THE PHILISTINES TOOK THE ARK OF GOD, AND BROUGHT IT
FROM EBEN-EZER UNTO ASHDOD. 2 WHEN THE PHILISTINES TOOK
THE ARK OF GOD, THEY BROUGHT IT INTO THE HOUSE OF DAGON,
AND SET IT BY DAGON. 3 AND WHEN THEY OF ASHDOD AROSE EARLY
ON THE MORROW, BEHOLD, DAGON WAS FALLEN UPON HIS FACE TO
THE EARTH BEFORE THE ARK OF THE LORD. AND THEY TOOK DAGON,
AND SET HIM IN HIS PLACE AGAIN. 4 AND WHEN THEY AROSE EARLY
ON THE MORROW MORNING, BEHOLD, DAGON WAS FALLEN UPON
HIS FACE TO THE GROUND BEFORE THE ARK OF THE LORD; AND THE
HEAD OF DAGON AND BOTH THE PALMS OF HIS HANDS WERE CUT
OFF UPON THE THRESHOLD; ONLY THE STUMP OF DAGON WAS LEFT
TO HIM. 5 THEREFORE NEITHER THE PRIESTS OF DAGON, NOR ANY
THAT COME INTO DAGON’S HOUSE, TREAD ON THE THRESHOLD OF
DAGON IN ASHDOD UNTO THIS DAY. 6 BUT THE HAND OF THE LORD
WAS HEAVY UPON THEM OF ASHDOD, AND HE DESTROYED THEM,
AND SMOTE THEM WITH EMERODS, EVEN ASHDOD AND THE COASTS
THEREOF. 7 AND WHEN THE MEN OF ASHDOD SAW THAT IT WAS SO,
THEY SAID, THE ARK OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL SHALL NOT ABIDE WITH
US: FOR HIS HAND IS SORE UPON US, AND UPON DAGON OUR GOD.
8 THEY SENT THEREFORE AND GATHERED ALL THE LORDS OF THE
PHILISTINES UNTO THEM, AND SAID, WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE
ARK OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL? AND THEY ANSWERED, LET THE ARK OF
THE GOD OF ISRAEL BE CARRIED ABOUT UNTO GATH. AND THEY
CARRIED THE ARK OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL ABOUT THITHER. 9 AND IT
WAS SO, THAT, AFTER THEY HAD CARRIED IT ABOUT, THE HAND OF
THE LORD WAS AGAINST THE CITY WITH A VERY GREAT
DESTRUCTION: AND HE SMOTE THE MEN OF THE CITY, BOTH SMALL
AND GREAT, AND THEY HAD EMERODS IN THEIR SECRET PARTS. 10
THEREFORE THEY SENT THE ARK OF GOD TO EKRON. AND IT CAME
TO PASS, AS THE ARK OF GOD CAME TO EKRON, THAT THE
EKRONITES CRIED OUT, SAYING, THEY HAVE BROUGHT ABOUT THE

WE SHALL RETURN TO HIM? THEY ANSWERED, FIVE GOLDEN
BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICED SACRIFICES THE SAME DAY

UNTO THE LORD. 16 AND WHEN THE FIVE LORDS OF THE

HANDS OF THE PHILISTINES. AND THERE WAS PEACE BETWEEN

CIRCUIT TO BETH-EL, AND GILGAL, AND MIZPEH, AND JUDGED
YE DO RETURN UNTO THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEARTS, THEN PUT
ISRAEL IN ALL THOSE PLACES. 17 AND HIS RETURN WAS TO RAMAH;
AWAY THE STRANGE GODS AND ASHTAROTH FROM AMONG YOU,
FOR THERE WAS HIS HOUSE; AND THERE HE JUDGED ISRAEL; AND
AND PREPARE YOUR HEARTS UNTO THE LORD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY:
THERE HE BUILT AN ALTAR UNTO THE LORD.
AND HE WILL DELIVER YOU OUT OF THE HAND OF THE PHILISTINES.
4 THEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID PUT AWAY BAALIM AND

GATHER ALL ISRAEL TO MIZPEH, AND I WILL PRAY FOR YOU UNTO

DREW WATER, AND POURED IT OUT BEFORE THE LORD, AND FASTED
ON THAT DAY, AND SAID THERE, WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST THE
LORD. AND SAMUEL JUDGED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL IN MIZPEH.
7 AND WHEN THE PHILISTINES HEARD THAT THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL WERE GATHERED TOGETHER TO MIZPEH, THE LORDS OF THE
PHILISTINES WENT UP AGAINST ISRAEL. AND WHEN THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL HEARD IT, THEY WERE AFRAID OF THE PHILISTINES. 8 AND
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SAID TO SAMUEL, CEASE NOT TO CRY
UNTO THE LORD OUR GOD FOR US, THAT HE WILL SAVE US OUT OF

LAMB, AND OFFERED IT FOR A BURNT OFFERING WHOLLY UNTO THE
LORD: AND SAMUEL CRIED UNTO THE LORD FOR ISRAEL; AND THE
LORD HEARD HIM. 10 AND AS SAMUEL WAS OFFERING UP THE
BURNT OFFERING, THE PHILISTINES DREW NEAR TO BATTLE
AGAINST ISRAEL: BUT THE LORD THUNDERED WITH A GREAT
THUNDER ON THAT DAY UPON THE PHILISTINES, AND DISCOMFITED
THEM; AND THEY WERE SMITTEN BEFORE ISRAEL. 11 AND THE MEN
OF ISRAEL WENT OUT OF MIZPEH, AND PURSUED THE PHILISTINES,

FIRSTBORN WAS JOEL; AND THE NAME OF HIS SECOND, ABIAH: THEY
HAVE CHOSEN YOU; AND THE LORD WILL NOT HEAR YOU IN THAT

UNTO THEIR VOICE: HOWBEIT YET PROTEST SOLEMNLY UNTO THEM,

UNTO THE PEOPLE THAT ASKED OF HIM A KING. 11 AND HE SAID,
THIS WILL BE THE MANNER OF THE KING THAT SHALL REIGN OVER
YOU: HE WILL TAKE YOUR SONS, AND APPOINT THEM FOR HIMSELF,
FOR HIS CHARIOTS, AND TO BE HIS HORSEMEN; AND SOME SHALL
RUN BEFORE HIS CHARIOTS. 12 AND HE WILL APPOINT HIM

WILL SET THEM TO EAR HIS GROUND, AND TO REAP HIS HARVEST,
AND TO MAKE HIS INSTRUMENTS OF WAR, AND INSTRUMENTS OF

THEE, TAKE HEED TO THYSELF UNTIL THE MORNING, AND ABIDE IN
AND SENT AWAY MINE ENEMY, THAT HE IS ESCAPED? AND MICHAL
A SECRET PLACE, AND HIDE THYSELF: 3 AND I WILL GO OUT AND
ANSWERED SAUL, HE SAID UNTO ME, LET ME GO; WHY SHOULD I
STAND BESIDE MY FATHER IN THE FIELD WHERE THOU ART, AND I
KILL THEE? 18 SO DAVID FLED, AND ESCAPED, AND CAME TO SAMUEL
WILL COMMUNE WITH MY FATHER OF THEE; AND WHAT I SEE, THAT
TO RAMAH, AND TOLD HIM ALL THAT SAUL HAD DONE TO HIM. AND
I WILL TELL THEE. 4 AND JONATHAN SPAKE GOOD OF DAVID UNTO
HE AND SAMUEL WENT AND DWELT IN NAIOTH. 19 AND IT WAS TOLD
SAUL HIS FATHER, AND SAID UNTO HIM, LET NOT THE KING SIN
SAUL, SAYING, BEHOLD, DAVID IS AT NAIOTH IN RAMAH. 20 AND
AGAINST HIS SERVANT, AGAINST DAVID; BECAUSE HE HATH NOT
SAUL SENT MESSENGERS TO TAKE DAVID: AND WHEN THEY SAW THE
SINNED AGAINST THEE, AND BECAUSE HIS WORKS HAVE BEEN TO
COMPANY OF THE PROPHETS PROPHESYING, AND SAMUEL
THEE-WARD VERY GOOD: 5 FOR HE DID PUT HIS LIFE IN HIS HAND,
STANDING AS APPOINTED OVER THEM, THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS
AND SLEW THE PHILISTINE, AND THE LORD WROUGHT A GREAT
UPON THE MESSENGERS OF SAUL, AND THEY ALSO PROPHESIED. 21
SALVATION FOR ALL ISRAEL: THOU SAWEST IT, AND DIDST REJOICE:
AND WHEN IT WAS TOLD SAUL, HE SENT OTHER MESSENGERS, AND
WHEREFORE THEN WILT THOU SIN AGAINST INNOCENT BLOOD, TO
THEY PROPHESIED LIKEWISE. AND SAUL SENT MESSENGERS AGAIN
SLAY DAVID WITHOUT A CAUSE? 6 AND SAUL HEARKENED UNTO THE
THE THIRD TIME, AND THEY PROPHESIED ALSO. 22 THEN WENT HE
VOICE OF JONATHAN: AND SAUL SWARE, AS THE LORD LIVETH, HE
ALSO TO RAMAH, AND CAME TO A GREAT WELL THAT IS IN SECHU:
SHALL NOT BE SLAIN. 7 AND JONATHAN CALLED DAVID, AND
AND HE ASKED AND SAID, WHERE ARE SAMUEL AND DAVID? AND
JONATHAN SHEWED HIM ALL THOSE THINGS. AND JONATHAN
ONE SAID, BEHOLD, THEY BE AT NAIOTH IN RAMAH. 23 AND HE
BROUGHT DAVID TO SAUL, AND HE WAS IN HIS PRESENCE, AS IN
WENT THITHER TO NAIOTH IN RAMAH: AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS
TIMES PAST. 8 AND THERE WAS WAR AGAIN: AND DAVID WENT OUT,
UPON HIM ALSO, AND HE WENT ON, AND PROPHESIED, UNTIL HE
AND FOUGHT WITH THE PHILISTINES, AND SLEW THEM WITH A
CAME TO NAIOTH IN RAMAH. 24 AND HE STRIPPED OFF HIS CLOTHES
GREAT SLAUGHTER; AND THEY FLED FROM HIM. 9 AND THE EVIL
ALSO, AND PROPHESIED BEFORE SAMUEL IN LIKE MANNER, AND LAY
SPIRIT FROM THE LORD WAS UPON SAUL, AS HE SAT IN HIS HOUSE
DOWN NAKED ALL THAT DAY AND ALL THAT NIGHT. WHEREFORE
WITH HIS JAVELIN IN HIS HAND: AND DAVID PLAYED WITH HIS HAND.
THEY SAY, IS SAUL ALSO AMONG THE PROPHETS?
10 AND SAUL SOUGHT TO SMITE DAVID EVEN TO THE WALL WITH
THE JAVELIN; BUT HE SLIPPED AWAY OUT OF SAUL’S PRESENCE, AND
HE SMOTE THE JAVELIN INTO THE WALL: AND DAVID FLED, AND
ESCAPED THAT NIGHT. 11 SAUL ALSO SENT MESSENGERS UNTO
DAVID’S HOUSE, TO WATCH HIM, AND TO SLAY HIM IN THE
MORNING: AND MICHAL DAVID’S WIFE TOLD HIM, SAYING, IF THOU
SAVE NOT THY LIFE TO NIGHT, TO MORROW THOU SHALT BE SLAIN.
12 SO MICHAL LET DAVID DOWN THROUGH A WINDOW: AND HE
WENT, AND FLED, AND ESCAPED. 13 AND MICHAL TOOK AN IMAGE,

BE GOOD TOWARD DAVID, AND I THEN SEND NOT UNTO THEE, AND
CHAPTER 20 SHEW IT THEE; 13 THE LORD DO SO AND MUCH MORE TO JONATHAN:
BUT IF IT PLEASE MY FATHER TO DO THEE EVIL, THEN I WILL SHEW
IT THEE, AND SEND THEE AWAY, THAT THOU MAYEST GO IN PEACE:
AND DAVID FLED FROM NAIOTH IN RAMAH, AND CAME AND SAID
AND THE LORD BE WITH THEE, AS HE HATH BEEN WITH MY FATHER.
BEFORE JONATHAN, WHAT HAVE I DONE? WHAT IS MINE INIQUITY?
14 AND THOU SHALT NOT ONLY WHILE YET I LIVE SHEW ME THE
AND WHAT IS MY SIN BEFORE THY FATHER, THAT HE SEEKETH MY
KINDNESS OF THE LORD, THAT I DIE NOT: 15 BUT ALSO THOU SHALT
LIFE? 2 AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, GOD FORBID; THOU SHALT NOT DIE:
NOT CUT OFF THY KINDNESS FROM MY HOUSE FOR EVER: NO, NOT
BEHOLD, MY FATHER WILL DO NOTHING EITHER GREAT OR SMALL,
WHEN THE LORD HATH CUT OFF THE ENEMIES OF DAVID EVERY ONE
BUT THAT HE WILL SHEW IT ME: AND WHY SHOULD MY FATHER HIDE
FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH. 16 SO JONATHAN MADE A
THIS THING FROM ME? IT IS NOT SO. 3 AND DAVID SWARE
COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF DAVID, SAYING, LET THE LORD
MOREOVER, AND SAID, THY FATHER CERTAINLY KNOWETH THAT I
EVEN REQUIRE IT AT THE HAND OF DAVID’S ENEMIES. 17 AND
HAVE FOUND GRACE IN THINE EYES; AND HE SAITH, LET NOT
JONATHAN CAUSED DAVID TO SWEAR AGAIN, BECAUSE HE LOVED
JONATHAN KNOW THIS, LEST HE BE GRIEVED: BUT TRULY AS THE
HIM: FOR HE LOVED HIM AS HE LOVED HIS OWN SOUL. 18 THEN
LORD LIVETH, AND AS THY SOUL LIVETH, THERE IS BUT A STEP
JONATHAN SAID TO DAVID, TO MORROW IS THE NEW MOON: AND
BETWEEN ME AND DEATH. 4 THEN SAID JONATHAN UNTO DAVID,
THOU SHALT BE MISSED, BECAUSE THY SEAT WILL BE EMPTY. 19
WHATSOEVER THY SOUL DESIRETH, I WILL EVEN DO IT FOR THEE. 5
AND WHEN THOU HAST STAYED THREE DAYS, THEN THOU SHALT GO
AND DAVID SAID UNTO JONATHAN, BEHOLD, TO MORROW IS THE
DOWN QUICKLY, AND COME TO THE PLACE WHERE THOU DIDST
NEW MOON, AND I SHOULD NOT FAIL TO SIT WITH THE KING AT
HIDE THYSELF WHEN THE BUSINESS WAS IN HAND, AND SHALT
MEAT: BUT LET ME GO, THAT I MAY HIDE MYSELF IN THE FIELD UNTO
REMAIN BY THE STONE EZEL. 20 AND I WILL SHOOT THREE ARROWS
THE THIRD DAY AT EVEN. 6 IF THY FATHER AT ALL MISS ME, THEN
ON THE SIDE THEREOF, AS THOUGH I SHOT AT A MARK. 21 AND,
SAY, DAVID EARNESTLY ASKED LEAVE OF ME THAT HE MIGHT RUN
BEHOLD, I WILL SEND A LAD, SAYING, GO, FIND OUT THE ARROWS.
TO BETH-LEHEM HIS CITY: FOR THERE IS A YEARLY SACRIFICE THERE
IF I EXPRESSLY SAY UNTO THE LAD, BEHOLD, THE ARROWS ARE ON
FOR ALL THE FAMILY. 7 IF HE SAY THUS, IT IS WELL; THY SERVANT
THIS SIDE OF THEE, TAKE THEM; THEN COME THOU: FOR THERE IS
SHALL HAVE PEACE: BUT IF HE BE VERY WROTH, THEN BE SURE THAT
PEACE TO THEE, AND NO HURT; AS THE LORD LIVETH. 22 BUT IF I
EVIL IS DETERMINED BY HIM. 8 THEREFORE THOU SHALT DEAL
SAY THUS UNTO THE YOUNG MAN, BEHOLD, THE ARROWS ARE
KINDLY WITH THY SERVANT; FOR THOU HAST BROUGHT THY
BEYOND THEE; GO THY WAY: FOR THE LORD HATH SENT THEE AWAY.
SERVANT INTO A COVENANT OF THE LORD WITH THEE:
23 AND AS TOUCHING THE MATTER WHICH THOU AND I HAVE
NOTWITHSTANDING, IF THERE BE IN ME INIQUITY, SLAY ME THYSELF;
SPOKEN OF, BEHOLD, THE LORD BE BETWEEN THEE AND ME FOR
FOR WHY SHOULDEST THOU BRING ME TO THY FATHER? 9 AND
EVER. 24 SO DAVID HID HIMSELF IN THE FIELD: AND WHEN THE NEW
JONATHAN SAID, FAR BE IT FROM THEE: FOR IF I KNEW CERTAINLY
MOON WAS COME, THE KING SAT HIM DOWN TO EAT MEAT. 25 AND
THAT EVIL WERE DETERMINED BY MY FATHER TO COME UPON THEE,
THE KING SAT UPON HIS SEAT, AS AT OTHER TIMES, EVEN UPON A
THEN WOULD NOT I TELL IT THEE? 10 THEN SAID DAVID TO
SEAT BY THE WALL: AND JONATHAN AROSE, AND ABNER SAT BY
JONATHAN, WHO SHALL TELL ME? OR WHAT IF THY FATHER ANSWER
SAUL’S SIDE, AND DAVID’S PLACE WAS EMPTY. 26 NEVERTHELESS
THEE ROUGHLY? 11 AND JONATHAN SAID UNTO DAVID, COME, AND
SAUL SPAKE NOT ANY THING THAT DAY: FOR HE THOUGHT,
LET US GO OUT INTO THE FIELD. AND THEY WENT OUT BOTH OF
SOMETHING HATH BEFALLEN HIM, HE IS NOT CLEAN; SURELY HE IS
THEM INTO THE FIELD. 12 AND JONATHAN SAID UNTO DAVID, O
NOT CLEAN. 27 AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE MORROW, WHICH
LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, WHEN I HAVE SOUNDED MY FATHER ABOUT
WAS THE SECOND DAY OF THE MONTH, THAT DAVID’S PLACE WAS
TO MORROW ANY TIME, OR THE THIRD DAY, AND, BEHOLD, IF THERE

EMPTY: AND SAUL SAID UNTO JONATHAN HIS SON, WHEREFORE THREE TIMES: AND THEY KISSED ONE ANOTHER, AND WEPT ONE
COMETH NOT THE SON OF JESSE TO MEAT, NEITHER YESTERDAY, WITH ANOTHER, UNTIL DAVID EXCEEDED. 42 AND JONATHAN SAID
NOR TO DAY? 28 AND JONATHAN ANSWERED SAUL, DAVID TO DAVID, GO IN PEACE, FORASMUCH AS WE HAVE SWORN BOTH OF
EARNESTLY ASKED LEAVE OF ME TO GO TO BETHLEHEM: 29 AND HE US IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, SAYING, THE LORD BE BETWEEN ME
SAID, LET ME GO, I PRAY THEE; FOR OUR FAMILY HATH A SACRIFICE AND THEE, AND BETWEEN MY SEED AND THY SEED FOR EVER. AND
IN THE CITY; AND MY BROTHER, HE HATH COMMANDED ME TO BE HE AROSE AND DEPARTED: AND JONATHAN WENT INTO THE CITY.
THERE: AND NOW, IF I HAVE FOUND FAVOUR IN THINE EYES, LET ME
GET AWAY, I PRAY THEE, AND SEE MY BRETHREN. THEREFORE HE
COMETH NOT UNTO THE KING’S TABLE. 30 THEN SAUL’S ANGER WAS
KINDLED AGAINST JONATHAN, AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, THOU SON
OF THE PERVERSE REBELLIOUS WOMAN, DO NOT I KNOW THAT
THOU HAST CHOSEN THE SON OF JESSE TO THINE OWN CONFUSION,
AND UNTO THE CONFUSION OF THY MOTHER’S NAKEDNESS? 31 FOR
AS LONG AS THE SON OF JESSE LIVETH UPON THE GROUND, THOU
SHALT NOT BE ESTABLISHED, NOR THY KINGDOM. WHEREFORE NOW
SEND AND FETCH HIM UNTO ME, FOR HE SHALL SURELY DIE. 32 AND
JONATHAN ANSWERED SAUL HIS FATHER, AND SAID UNTO HIM,
WHEREFORE SHALL HE BE SLAIN? WHAT HATH HE DONE? 33 AND
SAUL CAST A JAVELIN AT HIM TO SMITE HIM: WHEREBY JONATHAN
KNEW THAT IT WAS DETERMINED OF HIS FATHER TO SLAY DAVID. 34
SO JONATHAN AROSE FROM THE TABLE IN FIERCE ANGER, AND DID
EAT NO MEAT THE SECOND DAY OF THE MONTH: FOR HE WAS
GRIEVED FOR DAVID, BECAUSE HIS FATHER HAD DONE HIM SHAME.
35 AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE MORNING, THAT JONATHAN WENT
OUT INTO THE FIELD AT THE TIME APPOINTED WITH DAVID, AND A
LITTLE LAD WITH HIM. 36 AND HE SAID UNTO HIS LAD, RUN, FIND
OUT NOW THE ARROWS WHICH I SHOOT. AND AS THE LAD RAN, HE
SHOT AN ARROW BEYOND HIM. 37 AND WHEN THE LAD WAS COME
TO THE PLACE OF THE ARROW WHICH JONATHAN HAD SHOT,
JONATHAN CRIED AFTER THE LAD, AND SAID, IS NOT THE ARROW
BEYOND THEE? 38 AND JONATHAN CRIED AFTER THE LAD, MAKE
SPEED, HASTE, STAY NOT. AND JONATHAN’S LAD GATHERED UP THE
ARROWS, AND CAME TO HIS MASTER. 39 BUT THE LAD KNEW NOT
ANY THING: ONLY JONATHAN AND DAVID KNEW THE MATTER. 40
AND JONATHAN GAVE HIS ARTILLERY UNTO HIS LAD, AND SAID
UNTO HIM, GO, CARRY THEM TO THE CITY. 41 AND AS SOON AS THE
LAD WAS GONE, DAVID AROSE OUT OF A PLACE TOWARD THE SOUTH,
AND FELL ON HIS FACE TO THE GROUND, AND BOWED HIMSELF

 THE FIRST BOOK OF SAMUEL
KING OF THE LAND? DID THEY NOT SING ONE TO ANOTHER OF HIM
CHAPTER 21 IN DANCES, SAYING, SAUL HATH SLAIN HIS THOUSANDS, AND DAVID
HIS TEN THOUSANDS? 12 AND DAVID LAID UP THESE WORDS IN HIS
HEART, AND WAS SORE AFRAID OF ACHISH THE KING OF GATH. 13
THEN CAME DAVID TO NOB TO AHIMELECH THE PRIEST: AND
AND HE CHANGED HIS BEHAVIOUR BEFORE THEM, AND FEIGNED
AHIMELECH WAS AFRAID AT THE MEETING OF DAVID, AND SAID
HIMSELF MAD IN THEIR HANDS, AND SCRABBLED ON THE DOORS OF

THE GATE, AND LET HIS SPITTLE FALL DOWN UPON HIS BEARD. 14
DAVID SAID UNTO AHIMELECH THE PRIEST, THE KING HATH
THEN SAID ACHISH UNTO HIS SERVANTS, LO, YE SEE THE MAN IS
COMMANDED ME A BUSINESS, AND HATH SAID UNTO ME, LET NO
MAD: WHEREFORE THEN HAVE YE BROUGHT HIM TO ME? 15 HAVE I
MAN KNOW ANY THING OF THE BUSINESS WHEREABOUT I SEND
NEED OF MAD MEN, THAT YE HAVE BROUGHT THIS FELLOW TO PLAY
THEE, AND WHAT I HAVE COMMANDED THEE: AND I HAVE
THE MAD MAN IN MY PRESENCE? SHALL THIS FELLOW COME INTO
APPOINTED MY SERVANTS TO SUCH AND SUCH A PLACE. 3 NOW

THEREFORE WHAT IS UNDER THINE HAND? GIVE ME FIVE LOAVES OF
BREAD IN MINE HAND, OR WHAT THERE IS PRESENT. 4 AND THE
PRIEST ANSWERED DAVID, AND SAID, THERE IS NO COMMON BREAD
UNDER MINE HAND, BUT THERE IS HALLOWED BREAD; IF THE
YOUNG MEN HAVE KEPT THEMSELVES AT LEAST FROM WOMEN. 5
AND DAVID ANSWERED THE PRIEST, AND SAID UNTO HIM, OF A
TRUTH WOMEN HAVE BEEN KEPT FROM US ABOUT THESE THREE
DAYS, SINCE I CAME OUT, AND THE VESSELS OF THE YOUNG MEN
ARE HOLY, AND THE BREAD IS IN A MANNER COMMON, YEA,
THOUGH IT WERE SANCTIFIED THIS DAY IN THE VESSEL. 6 SO THE
PRIEST GAVE HIM HALLOWED BREAD: FOR THERE WAS NO BREAD
THERE BUT THE SHEWBREAD, THAT WAS TAKEN FROM BEFORE THE
LORD, TO PUT HOT BREAD IN THE DAY WHEN IT WAS TAKEN AWAY.
7 NOW A CERTAIN MAN OF THE SERVANTS OF SAUL WAS THERE THAT
DAY, DETAINED BEFORE THE LORD; AND HIS NAME WAS DOEG, AN
EDOMITE, THE CHIEFEST OF THE HERDMEN THAT BELONGED TO
SAUL. 8 AND DAVID SAID UNTO AHIMELECH, AND IS THERE NOT
HERE UNDER THINE HAND SPEAR OR SWORD? FOR I HAVE NEITHER
BROUGHT MY SWORD NOR MY WEAPONS WITH ME, BECAUSE THE
KING’S BUSINESS REQUIRED HASTE. 9 AND THE PRIEST SAID, THE
SWORD OF GOLIATH THE PHILISTINE, WHOM THOU SLEWEST IN THE
VALLEY OF ELAH, BEHOLD, IT IS HERE WRAPPED IN A CLOTH BEHIND
THE EPHOD: IF THOU WILT TAKE THAT, TAKE IT: FOR THERE IS NO
OTHER SAVE THAT HERE. AND DAVID SAID, THERE IS NONE LIKE
THAT; GIVE IT ME. 10 AND DAVID AROSE, AND FLED THAT DAY FOR
FEAR OF SAUL, AND WENT TO ACHISH THE KING OF GATH. 11 AND

GIVEN HIM BREAD, AND A SWORD, AND HAST INQUIRED OF GOD FOR

HEARD IT, THEY WENT DOWN THITHER TO HIM. 2 AND EVERY ONE
AND WHO IS SO FAITHFUL AMONG ALL THY SERVANTS AS DAVID,
THAT WAS IN DISTRESS, AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS IN DEBT, AND
WHICH IS THE KING’S SON IN LAW, AND GOETH AT THY BIDDING,

WERE WITH HIM ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED MEN. 3 AND DAVID WENT
IMPUTE ANY THING UNTO HIS SERVANT, NOR TO ALL THE HOUSE OF

MY FATHER: FOR THY SERVANT KNEW NOTHING OF ALL THIS, LESS
MOAB, LET MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER, I PRAY THEE, COME FORTH,
OR MORE. 16 AND THE KING SAID, THOU SHALT SURELY DIE,

IS WITH DAVID, AND BECAUSE THEY KNEW WHEN HE FLED, AND DID
DEPART, AND GET THEE INTO THE LAND OF JUDAH. THEN DAVID
NOT SHEW IT TO ME. BUT THE SERVANTS OF THE KING WOULD NOT
DEPARTED, AND CAME INTO THE FOREST OF HARETH. 6 WHEN SAUL
PUT FORTH THEIR HAND TO FALL UPON THE PRIESTS OF THE LORD.

ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED MEN; AND TWO HUNDRED ABODE BY THE
STUFF. 14 BUT ONE OF THE YOUNG MEN TOLD ABIGAIL, NABAL’S
AND SAMUEL DIED; AND ALL THE ISRAELITES WERE GATHERED

AT RAMAH. AND DAVID AROSE, AND WENT DOWN TO THE
15 BUT THE MEN WERE VERY GOOD UNTO US, AND WE WERE NOT
WILDERNESS OF PARAN. 2 AND THERE WAS A MAN IN MAON,
HURT, NEITHER MISSED WE ANY THING, AS LONG AS WE WERE
WHOSE POSSESSIONS WERE IN CARMEL; AND THE MAN WAS VERY
CONVERSANT WITH THEM, WHEN WE WERE IN THE FIELDS: 16 THEY
GREAT, AND HE HAD THREE THOUSAND SHEEP, AND A THOUSAND
WERE A WALL UNTO US BOTH BY NIGHT AND DAY, ALL THE WHILE
GOATS: AND HE WAS SHEARING HIS SHEEP IN CARMEL. 3 NOW THE
WE WERE WITH THEM KEEPING THE SHEEP. 17 NOW THEREFORE
NAME OF THE MAN WAS NABAL; AND THE NAME OF HIS WIFE
KNOW AND CONSIDER WHAT THOU WILT DO; FOR EVIL IS
ABIGAIL: AND SHE WAS A WOMAN OF GOOD UNDERSTANDING, AND
DETERMINED AGAINST OUR MASTER, AND AGAINST ALL HIS
OF A BEAUTIFUL COUNTENANCE: BUT THE MAN WAS CHURLISH AND
HOUSEHOLD: FOR HE IS SUCH A SON OF BELIAL, THAT A MAN
EVIL IN HIS DOINGS; AND HE WAS OF THE HOUSE OF CALEB. 4 AND
CANNOT SPEAK TO HIM. 18 THEN ABIGAIL MADE HASTE, AND TOOK
DAVID HEARD IN THE WILDERNESS THAT NABAL DID SHEAR HIS
TWO HUNDRED LOAVES, AND TWO BOTTLES OF WINE, AND FIVE
SHEEP. 5 AND DAVID SENT OUT TEN YOUNG MEN, AND DAVID SAID
SHEEP READY DRESSED, AND FIVE MEASURES OF PARCHED CORN,
UNTO THE YOUNG MEN, GET YOU UP TO CARMEL, AND GO TO NABAL,
AND AN HUNDRED CLUSTERS OF RAISINS, AND TWO HUNDRED
AND GREET HIM IN MY NAME: 6 AND THUS SHALL YE SAY TO HIM
CAKES OF FIGS, AND LAID THEM ON ASSES. 19 AND SHE SAID UNTO
THAT LIVETH IN PROSPERITY, PEACE BE BOTH TO THEE, AND PEACE
HER SERVANTS, GO ON BEFORE ME; BEHOLD, I COME AFTER YOU.
BE TO THINE HOUSE, AND PEACE BE UNTO ALL THAT THOU HAST. 7
BUT SHE TOLD NOT HER HUSBAND NABAL. 20 AND IT WAS SO, AS
AND NOW I HAVE HEARD THAT THOU HAST SHEARERS: NOW THY
SHE RODE ON THE ASS, THAT SHE CAME DOWN BY THE COVERT OF
SHEPHERDS WHICH WERE WITH US, WE HURT THEM NOT, NEITHER
THE HILL, AND, BEHOLD, DAVID AND HIS MEN CAME DOWN AGAINST
WAS THERE OUGHT MISSING UNTO THEM, ALL THE WHILE THEY
HER; AND SHE MET THEM. 21 NOW DAVID HAD SAID, SURELY IN
WERE IN CARMEL. 8 ASK THY YOUNG MEN, AND THEY WILL SHEW
VAIN HAVE I KEPT ALL THAT THIS FELLOW HATH IN THE WILDERNESS,
THEE. WHEREFORE LET THE YOUNG MEN FIND FAVOUR IN THINE
SO THAT NOTHING WAS MISSED OF ALL THAT PERTAINED UNTO HIM:
EYES: FOR WE COME IN A GOOD DAY: GIVE, I PRAY THEE,
AND HE HATH REQUITED ME EVIL FOR GOOD. 22 SO AND MORE ALSO
WHATSOEVER COMETH TO THINE HAND UNTO THY SERVANTS, AND
DO GOD UNTO THE ENEMIES OF DAVID, IF I LEAVE OF ALL THAT
TO THY SON DAVID. 9 AND WHEN DAVID’S YOUNG MEN CAME, THEY
PERTAIN TO HIM BY THE MORNING LIGHT ANY THAT PISSETH
SPAKE TO NABAL ACCORDING TO ALL THOSE WORDS IN THE NAME
AGAINST THE WALL. 23 AND WHEN ABIGAIL SAW DAVID, SHE
OF DAVID, AND CEASED. 10 AND NABAL ANSWERED DAVID’S
HASTED, AND LIGHTED OFF THE ASS, AND FELL BEFORE DAVID ON
SERVANTS, AND SAID, WHO IS DAVID? AND WHO IS THE SON OF
HER FACE, AND BOWED HERSELF TO THE GROUND, 24 AND FELL AT
JESSE? THERE BE MANY SERVANTS NOW A DAYS THAT BREAK AWAY
HIS FEET, AND SAID, UPON ME, MY LORD, UPON ME LET THIS
EVERY MAN FROM HIS MASTER. 11 SHALL I THEN TAKE MY BREAD,
INIQUITY BE: AND LET THINE HANDMAID, I PRAY THEE, SPEAK IN
AND MY WATER, AND MY FLESH THAT I HAVE KILLED FOR MY
THINE AUDIENCE, AND HEAR THE WORDS OF THINE HANDMAID. 25
SHEARERS, AND GIVE IT UNTO MEN, WHOM I KNOW NOT WHENCE
LET NOT MY LORD, I PRAY THEE, REGARD THIS MAN OF BELIAL, EVEN
THEY BE? 12 SO DAVID’S YOUNG MEN TURNED THEIR WAY, AND
NABAL: FOR AS HIS NAME IS, SO IS HE; NABAL IS HIS NAME, AND
WENT AGAIN, AND CAME AND TOLD HIM ALL THOSE SAYINGS. 13
FOLLY IS WITH HIM: BUT I THINE HANDMAID SAW NOT THE YOUNG
AND DAVID SAID UNTO HIS MEN, GIRD YE ON EVERY MAN HIS

MY LORD, AS THE LORD LIVETH, AND AS THY SOUL LIVETH, SEEING MORNING, WHEN THE WINE WAS GONE OUT OF NABAL, AND HIS
THE LORD HATH WITHHOLDEN THEE FROM COMING TO SHED BLOOD, WIFE HAD TOLD HIM THESE THINGS, THAT HIS HEART DIED WITHIN
AND FROM AVENGING THYSELF WITH THINE OWN HAND, NOW LET HIM, AND HE BECAME AS A STONE. 38 AND IT CAME TO PASS ABOUT
THINE ENEMIES, AND THEY THAT SEEK EVIL TO MY LORD, BE AS TEN DAYS AFTER, THAT THE LORD SMOTE NABAL, THAT HE DIED. 39
NABAL. 27 AND NOW THIS BLESSING WHICH THINE HANDMAID AND WHEN DAVID HEARD THAT NABAL WAS DEAD, HE SAID,
HATH BROUGHT UNTO MY LORD, LET IT EVEN BE GIVEN UNTO THE BLESSED BE THE LORD, THAT HATH PLEADED THE CAUSE OF MY
YOUNG MEN THAT FOLLOW MY LORD. 28 I PRAY THEE, FORGIVE THE REPROACH FROM THE HAND OF NABAL, AND HATH KEPT HIS
TRESPASS OF THINE HANDMAID: FOR THE LORD WILL CERTAINLY SERVANT FROM EVIL: FOR THE LORD HATH RETURNED THE
MAKE MY LORD A SURE HOUSE; BECAUSE MY LORD FIGHTETH THE WICKEDNESS OF NABAL UPON HIS OWN HEAD. AND DAVID SENT
BATTLES OF THE LORD, AND EVIL HATH NOT BEEN FOUND IN THEE AND COMMUNED WITH ABIGAIL, TO TAKE HER TO HIM TO WIFE. 40
ALL THY DAYS. 29 YET A MAN IS RISEN TO PURSUE THEE, AND TO AND WHEN THE SERVANTS OF DAVID WERE COME TO ABIGAIL TO
SEEK THY SOUL: BUT THE SOUL OF MY LORD SHALL BE BOUND IN CARMEL, THEY SPAKE UNTO HER, SAYING, DAVID SENT US UNTO
THE BUNDLE OF LIFE WITH THE LORD THY GOD; AND THE SOULS OF THEE, TO TAKE THEE TO HIM TO WIFE. 41 AND SHE AROSE, AND
THINE ENEMIES, THEM SHALL HE SLING OUT, AS OUT OF THE BOWED HERSELF ON HER FACE TO THE EARTH, AND SAID, BEHOLD,
MIDDLE OF A SLING. 30 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, WHEN THE LET THINE HANDMAID BE A SERVANT TO WASH THE FEET OF THE
LORD SHALL HAVE DONE TO MY LORD ACCORDING TO ALL THE GOOD SERVANTS OF MY LORD. 42 AND ABIGAIL HASTED, AND AROSE, AND
THAT HE HATH SPOKEN CONCERNING THEE, AND SHALL HAVE RODE UPON AN ASS, WITH FIVE DAMSELS OF HERS THAT WENT
APPOINTED THEE RULER OVER ISRAEL; 31 THAT THIS SHALL BE NO AFTER HER; AND SHE WENT AFTER THE MESSENGERS OF DAVID, AND
GRIEF UNTO THEE, NOR OFFENCE OF HEART UNTO MY LORD, EITHER BECAME HIS WIFE. 43 DAVID ALSO TOOK AHINOAM OF JEZREEL; AND
THAT THOU HAST SHED BLOOD CAUSELESS, OR THAT MY LORD HATH THEY WERE ALSO BOTH OF THEM HIS WIVES. 44 BUT SAUL HAD
AVENGED HIMSELF: BUT WHEN THE LORD SHALL HAVE DEALT WELL GIVEN MICHAL HIS DAUGHTER, DAVID’S WIFE, TO PHALTI THE SON
WITH MY LORD, THEN REMEMBER THINE HANDMAID. 32 AND DAVID OF LAISH, WHICH WAS OF GALLIM.
SAID TO ABIGAIL, BLESSED BE THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, WHICH
SENT THEE THIS DAY TO MEET ME: 33 AND BLESSED BE THY ADVICE,
AND BLESSED BE THOU, WHICH HAST KEPT ME THIS DAY FROM
COMING TO SHED BLOOD, AND FROM AVENGING MYSELF WITH MINE
OWN HAND. 34 FOR IN VERY DEED, AS THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL
LIVETH, WHICH HATH KEPT ME BACK FROM HURTING THEE, EXCEPT
THOU HADST HASTED AND COME TO MEET ME, SURELY THERE HAD
NOT BEEN LEFT UNTO NABAL BY THE MORNING LIGHT ANY THAT
PISSETH AGAINST THE WALL. 35 SO DAVID RECEIVED OF HER HAND
THAT WHICH SHE HAD BROUGHT HIM, AND SAID UNTO HER, GO UP
IN PEACE TO THINE HOUSE; SEE, I HAVE HEARKENED TO THY VOICE,
AND HAVE ACCEPTED THY PERSON. 36 AND ABIGAIL CAME TO NABAL;
AND, BEHOLD, HE HELD A FEAST IN HIS HOUSE, LIKE THE FEAST OF
A KING; AND NABAL’S HEART WAS MERRY WITHIN HIM, FOR HE WAS
VERY DRUNKEN: WHEREFORE SHE TOLD HIM NOTHING, LESS OR

THEY WERE ALL ASLEEP; BECAUSE A DEEP SLEEP FROM THE LORD
CHAPTER 26 WAS FALLEN UPON THEM. 13 THEN DAVID WENT OVER TO THE
OTHER SIDE, AND STOOD ON THE TOP OF AN HILL AFAR OFF; A GREAT
SPACE BEING BETWEEN THEM: 14 AND DAVID CRIED TO THE PEOPLE,
AND THE ZIPHITES CAME UNTO SAUL TO GIBEAH, SAYING, DOTH NOT
AND TO ABNER THE SON OF NER, SAYING, ANSWEREST THOU NOT,
DAVID HIDE HIMSELF IN THE HILL OF HACHILAH, WHICH IS BEFORE
ABNER? THEN ABNER ANSWERED AND SAID, WHO ART THOU THAT
JESHIMON? 2 THEN SAUL AROSE, AND WENT DOWN TO THE
CRIEST TO THE KING? 15 AND DAVID SAID TO ABNER, ART NOT THOU

A VALIANT MAN? AND WHO IS LIKE TO THEE IN ISRAEL? WHEREFORE

THEN HAST THOU NOT KEPT THY LORD THE KING? FOR THERE CAME
AND SAUL PITCHED IN THE HILL OF HACHILAH, WHICH IS BEFORE
ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN TO DESTROY THE KING THY LORD. 16 THIS
JESHIMON, BY THE WAY. BUT DAVID ABODE IN THE WILDERNESS,
THING IS NOT GOOD THAT THOU HAST DONE. AS THE LORD LIVETH,
AND HE SAW THAT SAUL CAME AFTER HIM INTO THE WILDERNESS.
YE ARE WORTHY TO DIE, BECAUSE YE HAVE NOT KEPT YOUR MASTER,
4 DAVID THEREFORE SENT OUT SPIES, AND UNDERSTOOD THAT SAUL
THE LORD’S ANOINTED. AND NOW SEE WHERE THE KING’S SPEAR IS,
WAS COME IN VERY DEED. 5 AND DAVID AROSE, AND CAME TO THE
AND THE CRUSE OF WATER THAT WAS AT HIS BOLSTER. 17 AND SAUL

KNEW DAVID’S VOICE, AND SAID, IS THIS THY VOICE, MY SON DAVID?
WHERE SAUL LAY, AND ABNER THE SON OF NER, THE CAPTAIN OF

WHEREFORE DOTH MY LORD THUS PURSUE AFTER HIS SERVANT?
ROUND ABOUT HIM. 6 THEN ANSWERED DAVID AND SAID TO
FOR WHAT HAVE I DONE? OR WHAT EVIL IS IN MINE HAND? 19 NOW
AHIMELECH THE HITTITE, AND TO ABISHAI THE SON OF ZERUIAH,
THEREFORE, I PRAY THEE, LET MY LORD THE KING HEAR THE WORDS
BROTHER TO JOAB, SAYING, WHO WILL GO DOWN WITH ME TO SAUL

THE KING OF ISRAEL IS COME OUT TO SEEK A FLEA, AS WHEN ONE

FOR WHO CAN STRETCH FORTH HIS HAND AGAINST THE LORD’S

EXCEEDINGLY. 22 AND DAVID ANSWERED AND SAID, BEHOLD THE

COME TO DIE; OR HE SHALL DESCEND INTO BATTLE, AND PERISH. 11
FETCH IT. 23 THE LORD RENDER TO EVERY MAN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS

THE HAND OF SAUL: THERE IS NOTHING BETTER FOR ME THAN THAT
I SHOULD SPEEDILY ESCAPE INTO THE LAND OF THE PHILISTINES;
AND SAUL SHALL DESPAIR OF ME, TO SEEK ME ANY MORE IN ANY
COAST OF ISRAEL: SO SHALL I ESCAPE OUT OF HIS HAND. 2 AND
DAVID AROSE, AND HE PASSED OVER WITH THE SIX HUNDRED MEN
THAT WERE WITH HIM UNTO ACHISH, THE SON OF MAOCH, KING OF
GATH. 3 AND DAVID DWELT WITH ACHISH AT GATH, HE AND HIS MEN,
EVERY MAN WITH HIS HOUSEHOLD, EVEN DAVID WITH HIS TWO
WIVES, AHINOAM THE JEZREELITESS, AND ABIGAIL THE
CARMELITESS, NABAL’S WIFE. 4 AND IT WAS TOLD SAUL THAT DAVID
WAS FLED TO GATH: AND HE SOUGHT NO MORE AGAIN FOR HIM. 5
AND DAVID SAID UNTO ACHISH, IF I HAVE NOW FOUND GRACE IN
THINE EYES, LET THEM GIVE ME A PLACE IN SOME TOWN IN THE
COUNTRY, THAT I MAY DWELL THERE: FOR WHY SHOULD THY
SERVANT DWELL IN THE ROYAL CITY WITH THEE? 6 THEN ACHISH
GAVE HIM ZIKLAG THAT DAY: WHEREFORE ZIKLAG PERTAINETH
UNTO THE KINGS OF JUDAH UNTO THIS DAY. 7 AND THE TIME THAT
DAVID DWELT IN THE COUNTRY OF THE PHILISTINES WAS A FULL
YEAR AND FOUR MONTHS. 8 AND DAVID AND HIS MEN WENT UP,
AND INVADED THE GESHURITES, AND THE GEZRITES, AND THE
AMALEKITES: FOR THOSE NATIONS WERE OF OLD THE INHABITANTS

NOR WOMAN ALIVE, AND TOOK AWAY THE SHEEP, AND THE OXEN,
AND THE ASSES, AND THE CAMELS, AND THE APPAREL, AND
RETURNED, AND CAME TO ACHISH. 10 AND ACHISH SAID, WHITHER
HAVE YE MADE A ROAD TO DAY? AND DAVID SAID, AGAINST THE
SOUTH OF JUDAH, AND AGAINST THE SOUTH OF THE JERAHMEELITES,
AND AGAINST THE SOUTH OF THE KENITES. 11 AND DAVID SAVED
NEITHER MAN NOR WOMAN ALIVE, TO BRING TIDINGS TO GATH,

NOW SAMUEL WAS DEAD, AND ALL ISRAEL HAD LAMENTED HIM,
THAT THOU MAYEST MAKE KNOWN UNTO ME WHAT I SHALL DO. 16
AND BURIED HIM IN RAMAH, EVEN IN HIS OWN CITY. AND SAUL HAD

PUT AWAY THOSE THAT HAD FAMILIAR SPIRITS, AND THE WIZARDS,
SEEING THE LORD IS DEPARTED FROM THEE, AND IS BECOME THINE
OUT OF THE LAND. 4 AND THE PHILISTINES GATHERED THEMSELVES

FOR THE LORD HATH RENT THE KINGDOM OUT OF THINE HAND, AND
GATHERED ALL ISRAEL TOGETHER, AND THEY PITCHED IN GILBOA. 5
GIVEN IT TO THY NEIGHBOUR, EVEN TO DAVID: 18 BECAUSE THOU
AND WHEN SAUL SAW THE HOST OF THE PHILISTINES, HE WAS
OBEYEDST NOT THE VOICE OF THE LORD, NOR EXECUTEDST HIS

FIERCE WRATH UPON AMALEK, THEREFORE HATH THE LORD DONE

NOW THE PHILISTINES GATHERED TOGETHER ALL THEIR ARMIES TO

JEZREEL. 2 AND THE LORDS OF THE PHILISTINES PASSED ON BY
HUNDREDS, AND BY THOUSANDS: BUT DAVID AND HIS MEN PASSED
ON IN THE REREWARD WITH ACHISH. 3 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 UNTO ME UNTO THIS DAY? 4 AND THE
PRINCES OF THE PHILISTINES WERE WROTH WITH HIM; AND THE
PRINCES OF THE PHILISTINES SAID UNTO HIM, MAKE THIS FELLOW
RETURN, THAT HE MAY GO AGAIN TO HIS PLACE WHICH THOU HAST
APPOINTED HIM, AND LET HIM NOT GO DOWN WITH US TO BATTLE,
LEST IN THE BATTLE HE BE AN ADVERSARY TO US: FOR WHEREWITH
SHOULD HE RECONCILE HIMSELF UNTO HIS MASTER? SHOULD IT
NOT BE WITH THE HEADS OF THESE MEN? 5 IS NOT THIS DAVID, OF
WHOM THEY SANG ONE TO ANOTHER IN DANCES, SAYING, SAUL
SLEW HIS THOUSANDS, AND DAVID HIS TEN THOUSANDS? 6 THEN
ACHISH CALLED DAVID, AND SAID UNTO HIM, SURELY, AS THE 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

WHEREFORE NOW RETURN, AND GO IN PEACE, THAT THOU
DISPLEASE NOT THE LORDS OF THE PHILISTINES. 8 AND DAVID SAID
UNTO ACHISH, BUT WHAT HAVE I DONE? AND WHAT HAST THOU
FOUND IN THY SERVANT SO LONG AS I HAVE BEEN WITH THEE UNTO
THIS DAY, THAT I MAY NOT GO FIGHT AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF MY
LORD THE KING? 9 AND ACHISH ANSWERED AND SAID TO DAVID, I
KNOW THAT THOU ART GOOD IN MY SIGHT, AS AN ANGEL OF GOD:
NOTWITHSTANDING THE PRINCES OF THE PHILISTINES HAVE SAID,

AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN DAVID AND HIS MEN WERE COME TO

IT WAS SO FROM THAT DAY FORWARD, THAT HE MADE IT A STATUTE
AND AN ORDINANCE FOR ISRAEL UNTO THIS DAY. 26 AND WHEN
DAVID CAME TO ZIKLAG, HE SENT OF THE SPOIL UNTO THE ELDERS
OF JUDAH, EVEN TO HIS FRIENDS, SAYING, BEHOLD A PRESENT FOR
YOU OF THE SPOIL OF THE ENEMIES OF THE LORD; 27 TO THEM
WHICH WERE IN BETH-EL, AND TO THEM WHICH WERE IN SOUTH

CHAPTER 31
NOW THE PHILISTINES FOUGHT AGAINST ISRAEL: AND THE MEN OF
ISRAEL FLED FROM BEFORE THE PHILISTINES, AND FELL DOWN
SLAIN IN MOUNT GILBOA. 2 AND THE PHILISTINES FOLLOWED HARD
UPON SAUL AND UPON HIS SONS; AND THE PHILISTINES SLEW
JONATHAN, AND ABINADAB, AND MALCHISHUA, SAUL’S SONS. 3
AND THE BATTLE WENT SORE AGAINST SAUL, AND THE ARCHERS HIT
HIM; AND HE WAS SORE WOUNDED OF THE ARCHERS. 4 THEN SAID
SAUL UNTO HIS ARMOURBEARER, DRAW THY SWORD, AND THRUST
ME THROUGH THEREWITH; LEST THESE UNCIRCUMCISED COME AND
THRUST ME THROUGH, AND ABUSE ME. BUT HIS ARMOURBEARER
WOULD NOT; FOR HE WAS SORE AFRAID. THEREFORE SAUL TOOK A
SWORD, AND FELL UPON IT. 5 AND WHEN HIS ARMOURBEARER SAW
THAT SAUL WAS DEAD, HE FELL LIKEWISE UPON HIS SWORD, AND
DIED WITH HIM. 6 SO SAUL DIED, AND HIS THREE SONS, AND HIS
ARMOURBEARER, AND ALL HIS MEN, THAT SAME DAY TOGETHER. 7
AND WHEN THE MEN OF ISRAEL THAT WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE VALLEY, AND THEY THAT WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE JORDAN,
SAW THAT THE MEN OF ISRAEL FLED, AND THAT SAUL AND HIS SONS
WERE DEAD, THEY FORSOOK THE CITIES, AND FLED; AND THE
PHILISTINES CAME AND DWELT IN THEM. 8 AND IT CAME TO PASS
ON THE MORROW, WHEN THE PHILISTINES CAME TO STRIP THE
SLAIN, THAT THEY FOUND SAUL AND HIS THREE SONS FALLEN IN
MOUNT GILBOA. 9 AND THEY CUT OFF HIS HEAD, AND STRIPPED OFF
HIS ARMOUR, AND SENT INTO THE LAND OF THE PHILISTINES
ROUND ABOUT, TO PUBLISH IT IN THE HOUSE OF THEIR IDOLS, AND
AMONG THE PEOPLE. 10 AND THEY PUT HIS ARMOUR IN THE HOUSE
OF ASHTAROTH: AND THEY FASTENED HIS BODY TO THE WALL OF
BETH-SHAN. 11 AND WHEN THE INHABITANTS OF JABESHGILEAD
HEARD OF THAT WHICH THE PHILISTINES HAD DONE TO SAUL; 12
ALL THE VALIANT MEN AROSE, AND WENT ALL NIGHT, AND TOOK
THE BODY OF SAUL AND THE BODIES OF HIS SONS FROM THE WALL
OF BETHSHAN, AND CAME TO JABESH, AND BURNT THEM THERE. 13
AND THEY TOOK THEIR BONES, AND BURIED THEM UNDER A TREE
AT JABESH, AND FASTED SEVEN DAYS.

STRETCH FORTH THINE HAND TO DESTROY THE LORD’S ANOINTED?
CHAPTER 1 15 AND DAVID CALLED ONE OF THE YOUNG MEN, AND SAID, GO
NEAR, AND FALL UPON HIM. AND HE SMOTE HIM THAT HE DIED. 16
AND DAVID SAID UNTO HIM, THY BLOOD BE UPON THY HEAD; FOR
NOW IT CAME TO PASS AFTER THE DEATH OF SAUL, WHEN DAVID
THY MOUTH HATH TESTIFIED AGAINST THEE, SAYING, I HAVE SLAIN
WAS RETURNED FROM THE SLAUGHTER OF THE AMALEKITES, AND
THE LORD’S ANOINTED. 17 AND DAVID LAMENTED WITH THIS
DAVID HAD ABODE TWO DAYS IN ZIKLAG; 2 IT CAME EVEN TO PASS
LAMENTATION OVER SAUL AND OVER JONATHAN HIS SON: 18 (ALSO
ON THE THIRD DAY, THAT, BEHOLD, A MAN CAME OUT OF THE CAMP

AND SO IT WAS, WHEN HE CAME TO DAVID, THAT HE FELL TO THE
BEAUTY OF ISRAEL IS SLAIN UPON THY HIGH PLACES: HOW ARE THE
EARTH, AND DID OBEISANCE. 3 AND DAVID SAID UNTO HIM, FROM

WHENCE COMEST THOU? AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, OUT OF THE
STREETS OF ASKELON; LEST THE DAUGHTERS OF THE PHILISTINES

REJOICE, LEST THE DAUGHTERS OF THE UNCIRCUMCISED TRIUMPH.
WENT THE MATTER? I PRAY THEE, TELL ME. AND HE ANSWERED,
21 YE MOUNTAINS OF GILBOA, LET THERE BE NO DEW, NEITHER LET
THAT THE PEOPLE ARE FLED FROM THE BATTLE, AND MANY OF THE
THERE BE RAIN, UPON YOU, NOR FIELDS OF OFFERINGS: FOR THERE
PEOPLE ALSO ARE FALLEN AND DEAD; AND SAUL AND JONATHAN
THE SHIELD OF THE MIGHTY IS VILELY CAST AWAY, THE SHIELD OF
HIS SON ARE DEAD ALSO. 5 AND DAVID SAID UNTO THE YOUNG MAN
SAUL, AS THOUGH HE HAD NOT BEEN ANOINTED WITH OIL. 22 FROM
THAT TOLD HIM, HOW KNOWEST THOU THAT SAUL AND JONATHAN

OF JONATHAN TURNED NOT BACK, AND THE SWORD OF SAUL
I HAPPENED BY CHANCE UPON MOUNT GILBOA, BEHOLD, SAUL
RETURNED NOT EMPTY. 23 SAUL AND JONATHAN WERE LOVELY AND
LEANED UPON HIS SPEAR; AND, LO, THE CHARIOTS AND HORSEMEN
PLEASANT IN THEIR LIVES, AND IN THEIR DEATH THEY WERE NOT
FOLLOWED HARD AFTER HIM. 7 AND WHEN HE LOOKED BEHIND HIM,
DIVIDED: THEY WERE SWIFTER THAN EAGLES, THEY WERE

STRONGER THAN LIONS. 24 YE DAUGHTERS OF ISRAEL, WEEP OVER
8 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, WHO ART THOU? AND I ANSWERED HIM,
SAUL, WHO CLOTHED YOU IN SCARLET, WITH OTHER DELIGHTS,
I AM AN AMALEKITE. 9 HE SAID UNTO ME AGAIN, STAND, I PRAY
WHO PUT ON ORNAMENTS OF GOLD UPON YOUR APPAREL. 25 HOW
THEE, UPON ME, AND SLAY ME: FOR ANGUISH IS COME UPON ME,
ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN IN THE MIDST OF THE BATTLE! O
BECAUSE MY LIFE IS YET WHOLE IN ME. 10 SO I STOOD UPON HIM,
JONATHAN, THOU WAST SLAIN IN THINE HIGH PLACES. 26 I AM
AND SLEW HIM, BECAUSE I WAS SURE THAT HE COULD NOT LIVE
DISTRESSED FOR THEE, MY BROTHER JONATHAN: VERY PLEASANT
AFTER THAT HE WAS FALLEN: AND I TOOK THE CROWN THAT WAS
HAST THOU BEEN UNTO ME: THY LOVE TO ME WAS WONDERFUL,
UPON HIS HEAD, AND THE BRACELET THAT WAS ON HIS ARM, AND
PASSING THE LOVE OF WOMEN. 27 HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN,
HAVE BROUGHT THEM HITHER UNTO MY LORD. 11 THEN DAVID
AND THE WEAPONS OF WAR PERISHED!
TOOK HOLD ON HIS CLOTHES, AND RENT THEM; AND LIKEWISE ALL
THE MEN THAT WERE WITH HIM: 12 AND THEY MOURNED, AND
WEPT, AND FASTED UNTIL EVEN, FOR SAUL, AND FOR JONATHAN HIS
SON, AND FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE LORD, AND FOR THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL; BECAUSE THEY WERE FALLEN BY THE SWORD. 13 AND DAVID
SAID UNTO THE YOUNG MAN THAT TOLD HIM, WHENCE ART THOU?
AND HE ANSWERED, I AM THE SON OF A STRANGER, AN AMALEKITE.
14 AND DAVID SAID UNTO HIM, HOW WAST THOU NOT AFRAID TO

NOT TO THE RIGHT HAND NOR TO THE LEFT FROM FOLLOWING
OVER THE HOUSE OF JUDAH. AND THEY TOLD DAVID, SAYING, THAT

THE MEN OF JABESH-GILEAD WERE THEY THAT BURIED SAUL. 5 AND
ASAHEL? AND HE ANSWERED, I AM. 21 AND ABNER SAID TO HIM,

HAVE BURIED HIM. 6 AND NOW THE LORD SHEW KINDNESS AND

FROM FOLLOWING ME: WHEREFORE SHOULD I SMITE THEE TO THE
BECAUSE YE HAVE DONE THIS THING. 7 THEREFORE NOW LET YOUR
GROUND? HOW THEN SHOULD I HOLD UP MY FACE TO JOAB THY
HANDS BE STRENGTHENED, AND BE YE VALIANT: FOR YOUR MASTER

SAUL IS DEAD, AND ALSO THE HOUSE OF JUDAH HAVE ANOINTED ME
ABNER WITH THE HINDER END OF THE SPEAR SMOTE HIM UNDER

STOOD STILL, AND PURSUED AFTER ISRAEL NO MORE, NEITHER
FOUGHT THEY ANY MORE. 29 AND ABNER AND HIS MEN WALKED
ALL THAT NIGHT THROUGH THE PLAIN, AND PASSED OVER JORDAN,
AND WENT THROUGH ALL BITHRON, AND THEY CAME TO MAHANAIM.
30 AND JOAB RETURNED FROM FOLLOWING ABNER: AND WHEN HE
HAD GATHERED ALL THE PEOPLE TOGETHER, THERE LACKED OF

THE HOUSE OF DAVID, THAT ABNER MADE HIMSELF STRONG FOR

DAVID, I WILL ARISE AND GO, AND WILL GATHER ALL ISRAEL UNTO

SAYING, ABNER THE SON OF NER CAME TO THE KING, AND HE HATH

SPEAK WITH HIM QUIETLY, AND SMOTE HIM THERE UNDER THE
FIFTH RIB, THAT HE DIED, FOR THE BLOOD OF ASAHEL HIS BROTHER.
28 AND AFTERWARD WHEN DAVID HEARD IT, HE SAID, I AND MY

BROTHER SLEW ABNER, BECAUSE HE HAD SLAIN THEIR BROTHER
ASAHEL AT GIBEON IN THE BATTLE. 31 AND DAVID SAID TO JOAB,
AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE WITH HIM, REND YOUR
CLOTHES, AND GIRD YOU WITH SACKCLOTH, AND MOURN BEFORE
ABNER. AND KING DAVID HIMSELF FOLLOWED THE BIER. 32 AND
THEY BURIED ABNER IN HEBRON: AND THE KING LIFTED UP HIS
VOICE, AND WEPT AT THE GRAVE OF ABNER; AND ALL THE PEOPLE
WEPT. 33 AND THE KING LAMENTED OVER ABNER, AND SAID, DIED
ABNER AS A FOOL DIETH? 34 THY HANDS WERE NOT BOUND, NOR
THY FEET PUT INTO FETTERS: AS A MAN FALLETH BEFORE WICKED

UP OVER THE POOL IN HEBRON. BUT THEY TOOK THE HEAD OF ISH-

HIS HANDS WERE FEEBLE, AND ALL THE ISRAELITES WERE

WERE SOJOURNERS THERE UNTIL THIS DAY.) 4 AND JONATHAN,
SAUL’S SON, HAD A SON THAT WAS LAME OF HIS FEET. HE WAS FIVE
YEARS OLD WHEN THE TIDINGS CAME OF SAUL AND JONATHAN OUT
OF JEZREEL, AND HIS NURSE TOOK HIM UP, AND FLED: AND IT CAME

CAME ABOUT THE HEAT OF THE DAY TO THE HOUSE OF ISHBOSHETH,

MIDST OF THE HOUSE, AS THOUGH THEY WOULD HAVE FETCHED
WHEAT; AND THEY SMOTE HIM UNDER THE FIFTH RIB: AND RECHAB

THE HOUSE, HE LAY ON HIS BED IN HIS BEDCHAMBER, AND THEY
SMOTE HIM, AND SLEW HIM, AND BEHEADED HIM, AND TOOK HIS
HEAD, AND GAT THEM AWAY THROUGH THE PLAIN ALL NIGHT. 8 AND
THEY BROUGHT THE HEAD OF ISHBOSHETH 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 THIS DAY OF SAUL, AND
OF HIS SEED. 9 AND DAVID ANSWERED RECHAB AND BAANAH HIS

THEM, AS THE LORD LIVETH, WHO HATH REDEEMED MY SOUL OUT
OF ALL ADVERSITY, 10 WHEN ONE TOLD ME, SAYING, BEHOLD, SAUL
IS DEAD, THINKING TO HAVE BROUGHT GOOD TIDINGS, I TOOK HOLD

WITH THEM IN HEBRON BEFORE THE LORD: AND THEY ANOINTED
PERAZIM, AND DAVID SMOTE THEM THERE, AND SAID, THE LORD
DAVID KING OVER ISRAEL. 4 DAVID WAS THIRTY YEARS OLD WHEN
HATH BROKEN FORTH UPON MINE ENEMIES BEFORE ME, AS THE
HE BEGAN TO REIGN, AND HE REIGNED FORTY YEARS. 5 IN HEBRON
BREACH OF WATERS. THEREFORE HE CALLED THE NAME OF THAT
HE REIGNED OVER JUDAH SEVEN YEARS AND SIX MONTHS: AND IN
PLACE BAAL-PERAZIM. 21 AND THERE THEY LEFT THEIR IMAGES,

BLIND AND THE LAME, THOU SHALT NOT COME IN HITHER:

AND LET IT BE, WHEN THOU HEAREST THE SOUND OF A GOING IN
DAVID TOOK THE STRONG HOLD OF ZION: THE SAME IS THE CITY OF
THE TOPS OF THE MULBERRY TREES, THAT THEN THOU SHALT

BESTIR THYSELF: FOR THEN SHALL THE LORD GO OUT BEFORE THEE,
TO THE GUTTER, AND SMITETH THE JEBUSITES, AND THE LAME AND
TO SMITE THE HOST OF THE PHILISTINES. 25 AND DAVID DID SO, AS
THE BLIND, THAT ARE HATED OF DAVID’S SOUL, HE SHALL BE CHIEF
THE LORD HAD COMMANDED HIM; AND SMOTE THE PHILISTINES
AND CAPTAIN. WHEREFORE THEY SAID, THE BLIND AND THE LAME
FROM GEBA UNTIL THOU COME TO GAZER.
SHALL NOT COME INTO THE HOUSE. 9 SO DAVID DWELT IN THE FORT,

HEAD. AND HE BROUGHT FORTH THE SPOIL OF THE CITY IN GREAT
ABUNDANCE. 31 AND HE BROUGHT FORTH THE PEOPLE THAT WERE
THEREIN, AND PUT THEM UNDER SAWS, AND UNDER HARROWS OF
IRON, AND UNDER AXES OF IRON, AND MADE THEM PASS THROUGH

GREATER THAN THE OTHER THAT THOU DIDST UNTO ME. BUT HE

BAD: FOR ABSALOM HATED AMNON, BECAUSE HE HAD FORCED HIS
LAID DOWN. AND SHE TOOK FLOUR, AND KNEADED IT, AND MADE

AND AMNON SAID, HAVE OUT ALL MEN FROM ME. AND THEY WENT

HOLD OF HER, AND SAID UNTO HER, COME LIE WITH ME, MY SISTER.
I PRAY THEE, LET MY BROTHER AMNON GO WITH US. AND THE KING

WINE, AND WHEN I SAY UNTO YOU, SMITE AMNON; THEN KILL HIM,
FEAR NOT: HAVE NOT I COMMANDED YOU? BE COURAGEOUS, AND
BE VALIANT. 29 AND THE SERVANTS OF ABSALOM DID UNTO AMNON
AS ABSALOM HAD COMMANDED. THEN ALL THE KING’S SONS AROSE,
AND EVERY MAN GAT HIM UP UPON HIS MULE, AND FLED. 30 AND
IT CAME TO PASS, WHILE THEY WERE IN THE WAY, THAT TIDINGS
CAME TO DAVID, SAYING, ABSALOM HATH SLAIN ALL THE KING’S
SONS, AND THERE IS NOT ONE OF THEM LEFT. 31 THEN THE KING
AROSE, AND TARE HIS GARMENTS, AND LAY ON THE EARTH; AND
ALL HIS SERVANTS STOOD BY WITH THEIR CLOTHES RENT. 32 AND
JONADAB, THE SON OF SHIMEAH DAVID’S BROTHER, ANSWERED
AND SAID, LET NOT MY LORD SUPPOSE THAT THEY HAVE SLAIN 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 HE FORCED HIS SISTER TAMAR. 33 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 ONLY IS DEAD. 34 BUT ABSALOM FLED. AND THE YOUNG
MAN THAT KEPT THE WATCH LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND LOOKED, AND,
BEHOLD, THERE CAME MUCH PEOPLE BY THE WAY OF THE HILL SIDE
BEHIND HIM. 35 AND JONADAB SAID UNTO THE KING, BEHOLD, THE
KING’S SONS COME: AS THY SERVANT SAID, SO IT IS. 36 AND IT CAME
TO PASS, AS SOON AS HE HAD MADE AN END OF SPEAKING, THAT,
BEHOLD, THE KING’S SONS CAME, AND LIFTED UP THEIR VOICE AND

SORE. 37 BUT ABSALOM FLED, AND WENT TO TALMAI, THE SON OF
AMMIHUD, KING OF GESHUR. AND DAVID MOURNED FOR HIS SON
EVERY DAY. 38 SO ABSALOM FLED, AND WENT TO GESHUR, AND WAS
THERE THREE YEARS. 39 AND THE SOUL OF KING DAVID LONGED TO

THERE WAS NONE TO BE SO MUCH PRAISED AS ABSALOM FOR HIS
BEAUTY: FROM THE SOLE OF HIS FOOT EVEN TO THE CROWN OF HIS
HEAD THERE WAS NO BLEMISH IN HIM. 26 AND WHEN HE POLLED
HIS HEAD, (FOR IT WAS AT EVERY YEAR’S END THAT HE POLLED IT:
BECAUSE THE HAIR WAS HEAVY ON HIM, THEREFORE HE POLLED IT:)
HE WEIGHED THE HAIR OF HIS HEAD AT TWO HUNDRED SHEKELS
AFTER THE KING’S WEIGHT. 27 AND UNTO ABSALOM THERE WERE
BORN THREE SONS, AND ONE DAUGHTER, WHOSE NAME WAS
TAMAR: SHE WAS A WOMAN OF A FAIR COUNTENANCE. 28 SO
ABSALOM DWELT TWO FULL YEARS IN JERUSALEM, AND SAW NOT

HAVE SENT HIM TO THE KING; BUT HE WOULD NOT COME TO HIM:
AND WHEN HE SENT AGAIN THE SECOND TIME, HE WOULD NOT
COME. 30 THEREFORE HE SAID UNTO HIS SERVANTS, SEE, JOAB’S
FIELD IS NEAR MINE, AND HE HATH BARLEY THERE; GO AND SET IT
ON FIRE. AND ABSALOM’S SERVANTS SET THE FIELD ON FIRE. 31
THEN JOAB AROSE, AND CAME TO ABSALOM UNTO HIS HOUSE, AND
SAID UNTO HIM, WHEREFORE HAVE THY SERVANTS SET MY FIELD
ON FIRE? 32 AND ABSALOM ANSWERED JOAB, BEHOLD, I SENT UNTO

TO SAY, WHEREFORE AM I COME FROM GESHUR? IT HAD BEEN GOOD
FOR ME TO HAVE BEEN THERE STILL: NOW THEREFORE LET ME SEE

THAT NONE TOUCH THE YOUNG MAN ABSALOM. 13 OTHERWISE I
SET CAPTAINS OF THOUSANDS AND CAPTAINS OF HUNDREDS OVER

FOR THERE IS NO MATTER HID FROM THE KING, AND THOU THYSELF

HIS HAND, AND THRUST THEM THROUGH THE HEART OF ABSALOM,
UNTO THE PEOPLE, I WILL SURELY GO FORTH WITH YOU MYSELF
WHILE HE WAS YET ALIVE IN THE MIDST OF THE OAK. 15 AND TEN
ALSO. 3 BUT THE PEOPLE ANSWERED, THOU SHALT NOT GO FORTH:
YOUNG MEN THAT BARE JOAB’S ARMOUR COMPASSED ABOUT AND
FOR IF WE FLEE AWAY, THEY WILL NOT CARE FOR US; NEITHER IF
SMOTE ABSALOM, AND SLEW HIM. 16 AND JOAB BLEW THE TRUMPET,
HALF OF US DIE, WILL THEY CARE FOR US: BUT NOW THOU ART
AND THE PEOPLE RETURNED FROM PURSUING AFTER ISRAEL: FOR
WORTH TEN THOUSAND OF US: THEREFORE NOW IT IS BETTER THAT
JOAB HELD BACK THE PEOPLE. 17 AND THEY TOOK ABSALOM, AND
THOU SUCCOUR US OUT OF THE CITY. 4 AND THE KING SAID UNTO
CAST HIM INTO A GREAT PIT IN THE WOOD, AND LAID A VERY GREAT

RUNNING: AND THE WATCHMAN CALLED UNTO THE PORTER, AND
SAID, BEHOLD ANOTHER MAN RUNNING ALONE. AND THE KING SAID,
HE ALSO BRINGETH TIDINGS. 27 AND THE WATCHMAN SAID, ME
THINKETH THE RUNNING OF THE FOREMOST IS LIKE THE RUNNING
OF AHIMAAZ THE SON OF ZADOK. AND THE KING SAID, HE IS A GOOD
MAN, AND COMETH WITH GOOD TIDINGS. 28 AND AHIMAAZ CALLED,

BE THE LORD THY GOD, WHICH HATH DELIVERED UP THE MEN THAT
LIFTED UP THEIR HAND AGAINST MY LORD THE KING. 29 AND THE
KING SAID, IS THE YOUNG MAN ABSALOM SAFE? AND AHIMAAZ
ANSWERED, WHEN JOAB SENT THE KING’S SERVANT, AND ME THY
SERVANT, I SAW A GREAT TUMULT, BUT I KNEW NOT WHAT IT WAS.
30 AND THE KING SAID UNTO HIM, TURN ASIDE, AND STAND HERE.
AND HE TURNED ASIDE, AND STOOD STILL. 31 AND, BEHOLD, CUSHI

ROSE UP TO MEET HER, AND BOWED HIMSELF UNTO HER, AND SAT
THE SON OF ZERUIAH DID TO ME, AND WHAT HE DID TO THE TWO
DOWN ON HIS THRONE, AND CAUSED A SEAT TO BE SET FOR THE
CAPTAINS OF THE HOSTS OF ISRAEL, UNTO ABNER THE SON OF NER,
KING’S MOTHER; AND SHE SAT ON HIS RIGHT HAND. 20 THEN SHE
AND UNTO AMASA THE SON OF JETHER, WHOM HE SLEW, AND SHED
SAID, I DESIRE ONE SMALL PETITION OF THEE; I PRAY THEE, SAY ME
THE BLOOD OF WAR IN PEACE, AND PUT THE BLOOD OF WAR UPON

HIS GIRDLE THAT WAS ABOUT HIS LOINS, AND IN HIS SHOES THAT
I WILL NOT SAY THEE NAY. 21 AND SHE SAID, LET ABISHAG THE
WERE ON HIS FEET. 6 DO THEREFORE ACCORDING TO THY WISDOM,
SHUNAMMITE BE GIVEN TO ADONIJAH THY BROTHER TO WIFE. 22
AND LET NOT HIS HOAR HEAD GO DOWN TO THE GRAVE IN PEACE. 7
AND KING SOLOMON ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIS MOTHER, AND
BUT SHEW KINDNESS UNTO THE SONS OF BARZILLAI THE GILEADITE,
WHY DOST THOU ASK ABISHAG THE SHUNAMMITE FOR ADONIJAH?
AND LET THEM BE OF THOSE THAT EAT AT THY TABLE: FOR SO THEY
ASK FOR HIM THE KINGDOM ALSO; FOR HE IS MINE ELDER BROTHER;
CAME TO ME WHEN I FLED BECAUSE OF ABSALOM THY BROTHER. 8
EVEN FOR HIM, AND FOR ABIATHAR THE PRIEST, AND FOR JOAB THE
AND, BEHOLD, THOU HAST WITH THEE SHIMEI THE SON OF GERA, A
SON OF ZERUIAH. 23 THEN KING SOLOMON SWARE BY THE LORD,
BENJAMITE OF BAHURIM, WHICH CURSED ME WITH A GRIEVOUS
SAYING, GOD DO SO TO ME, AND MORE ALSO, IF ADONIJAH HAVE
CURSE IN THE DAY WHEN I WENT TO MAHANAIM: BUT HE CAME
NOT SPOKEN THIS WORD AGAINST HIS OWN LIFE. 24 NOW
DOWN TO MEET ME AT JORDAN, AND I SWARE TO HIM BY THE LORD,

THEREFORE HOLD HIM NOT GUILTLESS: FOR THOU ART A WISE MAN,
MADE ME AN HOUSE, AS HE PROMISED, ADONIJAH SHALL BE PUT TO

TO ANATHOTH, UNTO THINE OWN FIELDS; FOR THOU ART WORTHY
FORTY YEARS: SEVEN YEARS REIGNED HE IN HEBRON, AND THIRTY

MY FATHER, AND BECAUSE THOU HAST BEEN AFFLICTED IN ALL THY BLOOD SHALL BE UPON THINE OWN HEAD. 38 AND SHIMEI SAID
WHEREIN MY FATHER WAS AFFLICTED. 27 SO SOLOMON THRUST OUT UNTO THE KING, THE SAYING IS GOOD: AS MY LORD THE KING HATH
ABIATHAR FROM BEING PRIEST UNTO THE LORD; THAT HE MIGHT SAID, SO WILL THY SERVANT DO. AND SHIMEI DWELT IN JERUSALEM
FULFIL THE WORD OF THE LORD, WHICH HE SPAKE CONCERNING MANY DAYS. 39 AND IT CAME TO PASS AT THE END OF THREE YEARS,

BUILDING OF THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, AND THE KING’S HOUSE,
CABUL UNTO THIS DAY. 14 AND HIRAM SENT TO THE KING SIXSCORE

TALENTS OF GOLD. 15 AND THIS IS THE REASON OF THE LEVY WHICH
THAT THE LORD APPEARED TO SOLOMON THE SECOND TIME, AS HE
KING SOLOMON RAISED; FOR TO BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE LORD,
HAD APPEARED UNTO HIM AT GIBEON. 3 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO

WHOM THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ALSO WERE NOT ABLE UTTERLY TO

DESTROY, UPON THOSE DID SOLOMON LEVY A TRIBUTE OF
THEM; AND THIS HOUSE, WHICH I HAVE HALLOWED FOR MY NAME,
BONDSERVICE UNTO THIS DAY. 22 BUT OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
WILL I CAST OUT OF MY SIGHT; AND ISRAEL SHALL BE A PROVERB
DID SOLOMON MAKE NO BONDMEN: BUT THEY WERE MEN OF WAR,

BROUGHT FORTH THEIR FATHERS OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND
OUT OF THE CITY OF DAVID UNTO HER HOUSE WHICH SOLOMON HAD

BUILT FOR HER: THEN DID HE BUILD MILLO. 25 AND THREE TIMES

TO GO UP TO JERUSALEM: BEHOLD THY GODS, O ISRAEL, WHICH
BROUGHT THEE UP OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT. 29 AND HE SET THE
ONE IN BETH-EL, AND THE OTHER PUT HE IN DAN. 30 AND THIS
THING BECAME A SIN: FOR THE PEOPLE WENT TO WORSHIP BEFORE
THE ONE, EVEN UNTO DAN. 31 AND HE MADE AN HOUSE OF HIGH
PLACES, AND MADE PRIESTS OF THE LOWEST OF THE PEOPLE,
WHICH WERE NOT OF THE SONS OF LEVI. 32 AND JEROBOAM
ORDAINED A FEAST IN THE EIGHTH MONTH, ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY

OFFERED UPON THE ALTAR. SO DID HE IN BETH-EL, SACRIFICING

BY HIS SERVANT AHIJAH THE SHILONITE: 30 BECAUSE OF THE SINS
OF JEROBOAM WHICH HE SINNED, AND WHICH HE MADE ISRAEL SIN,
BY HIS PROVOCATION WHEREWITH HE PROVOKED THE LORD GOD
OF ISRAEL TO ANGER. 31 NOW THE REST OF THE ACTS OF NADAB,

AND ALL ISRAEL WITH HIM, AND THEY BESIEGED TIRZAH. 18 AND IT
THAT DIETH OF BAASHA IN THE CITY SHALL THE DOGS EAT; AND HIM
CAME TO PASS, WHEN ZIMRI SAW THAT THE CITY WAS TAKEN, THAT
THAT DIETH OF HIS IN THE FIELDS SHALL THE FOWLS OF THE AIR

AND HIS MIGHT, ARE THEY NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE
WHICH HE SINNED IN DOING EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, IN

HE DID IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, IN PROVOKING HIM TO ANGER
PARTS: HALF OF THE PEOPLE FOLLOWED TIBNI THE SON OF GINATH,
WITH THE WORK OF HIS HANDS, IN BEING LIKE THE HOUSE OF

BUT OMRI WROUGHT EVIL IN THE EYES OF THE LORD, AND DID
SOON AS HE SAT ON HIS THRONE, THAT HE SLEW ALL THE HOUSE
WORSE THAN ALL THAT WERE BEFORE HIM. 26 FOR HE WALKED IN

WHEREWITH HE MADE ISRAEL TO SIN, TO PROVOKE THE LORD GOD
ZIMRI DESTROY ALL THE HOUSE OF BAASHA, ACCORDING TO THE

OF ASA KING OF JUDAH BEGAN AHAB THE SON OF OMRI TO REIGN

IN SAMARIA TWENTY AND TWO YEARS. 30 AND AHAB THE SON OF
OMRI DID EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD ABOVE ALL THAT WERE
BEFORE HIM. 31 AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS IF IT HAD BEEN A LIGHT
THING FOR HIM TO WALK IN THE SINS OF JEROBOAM THE SON OF
NEBAT, THAT HE TOOK TO WIFE JEZEBEL THE DAUGHTER OF
ETHBAAL KING OF THE ZIDONIANS, AND WENT AND SERVED BAAL,
AND WORSHIPPED HIM. 32 AND HE REARED UP AN ALTAR FOR BAAL
IN THE HOUSE OF BAAL, WHICH HE HAD BUILT IN SAMARIA. 33 AND
AHAB MADE A GROVE; AND AHAB DID MORE TO PROVOKE THE LORD
GOD OF ISRAEL TO ANGER THAN ALL THE KINGS OF ISRAEL THAT
WERE BEFORE HIM. 34 IN HIS DAYS DID HIEL THE BETH-ELITE BUILD
JERICHO: HE LAID THE FOUNDATION THEREOF IN ABIRAM HIS

AND SHE, AND HE, AND HER HOUSE, DID EAT MANY DAYS. 16 AND
CHAPTER 17 THE BARREL OF MEAL WASTED NOT, NEITHER DID THE CRUSE OF OIL
FAIL, ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF THE LORD, WHICH HE SPAKE BY
ELIJAH. 17 AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER THESE THINGS, THAT THE
AND ELIJAH THE TISHBITE, WHO WAS OF THE INHABITANTS OF
SON OF THE WOMAN, THE MISTRESS OF THE HOUSE, FELL SICK; AND
GILEAD, SAID UNTO AHAB, AS THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL LIVETH,
HIS SICKNESS WAS SO SORE, THAT THERE WAS NO BREATH LEFT IN
BEFORE WHOM I STAND, THERE SHALL NOT BE DEW NOR RAIN

THESE YEARS, BUT ACCORDING TO MY WORD. 2 AND THE WORD OF
THEE, O THOU MAN OF GOD? ART THOU COME UNTO ME TO CALL
THE LORD CAME UNTO HIM, SAYING, 3 GET THEE HENCE, AND TURN
MY SIN TO REMEMBRANCE, AND TO SLAY MY SON? 19 AND HE SAID
THEE EASTWARD, AND HIDE THYSELF BY THE BROOK CHERITH, THAT
UNTO HER, GIVE ME THY SON. AND HE TOOK HIM OUT OF HER
IS BEFORE JORDAN. 4 AND IT SHALL BE, THAT THOU SHALT DRINK
BOSOM, AND CARRIED HIM UP INTO A LOFT, WHERE HE ABODE, AND
OF THE BROOK; AND I HAVE COMMANDED THE RAVENS TO FEED
LAID HIM UPON HIS OWN BED. 20 AND HE CRIED UNTO THE LORD,
THEE THERE. 5 SO HE WENT AND DID ACCORDING UNTO THE WORD
AND SAID, O LORD MY GOD, HAST THOU ALSO BROUGHT EVIL UPON
OF THE LORD: FOR HE WENT AND DWELT BY THE BROOK CHERITH,
THE WIDOW WITH WHOM I SOJOURN, BY SLAYING HER SON? 21 AND
THAT IS BEFORE JORDAN. 6 AND THE RAVENS BROUGHT HIM BREAD
HE STRETCHED HIMSELF UPON THE CHILD THREE TIMES, AND CRIED
AND FLESH IN THE MORNING, AND BREAD AND FLESH IN THE
UNTO THE LORD, AND SAID, O LORD MY GOD, I PRAY THEE, LET THIS
EVENING; AND HE DRANK OF THE BROOK. 7 AND IT CAME TO PASS
CHILD’S SOUL COME INTO HIM AGAIN. 22 AND THE LORD HEARD THE
AFTER A WHILE, THAT THE BROOK DRIED UP, BECAUSE THERE HAD
VOICE OF ELIJAH; AND THE SOUL OF THE CHILD CAME INTO HIM
BEEN NO RAIN IN THE LAND. 8 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME
AGAIN, AND HE REVIVED. 23 AND ELIJAH TOOK THE CHILD, AND
UNTO HIM, SAYING, 9 ARISE, GET THEE TO ZAREPHATH, WHICH
BROUGHT HIM DOWN OUT OF THE CHAMBER INTO THE HOUSE, AND
BELONGETH TO ZIDON, AND DWELL THERE: BEHOLD, I HAVE
DELIVERED HIM UNTO HIS MOTHER: AND ELIJAH SAID, SEE, THY SON
COMMANDED A WIDOW WOMAN THERE TO SUSTAIN THEE. 10 SO HE
LIVETH. 24 AND THE WOMAN SAID TO ELIJAH, NOW BY THIS I KNOW
AROSE AND WENT TO ZAREPHATH. AND WHEN HE CAME TO THE
THAT THOU ART A MAN OF GOD, AND THAT THE WORD OF THE LORD
GATE OF THE CITY, BEHOLD, THE WIDOW WOMAN WAS THERE
IN THY MOUTH IS TRUTH.
GATHERING OF STICKS: AND HE CALLED TO HER, AND SAID, FETCH
ME, I PRAY THEE, A LITTLE WATER IN A VESSEL, THAT I MAY DRINK.
11 AND AS SHE WAS GOING TO FETCH IT, HE CALLED TO HER, AND
SAID, BRING ME, I PRAY THEE, A MORSEL OF BREAD IN THINE HAND.
12 AND SHE SAID, AS THE LORD THY GOD LIVETH, I HAVE NOT A
CAKE, BUT AN HANDFUL OF MEAL IN A BARREL, AND A LITTLE OIL
IN A CRUSE: AND, BEHOLD, I AM GATHERING TWO STICKS, THAT I
MAY GO IN AND DRESS IT FOR ME AND MY SON, THAT WE MAY EAT
IT, AND DIE. 13 AND ELIJAH SAID UNTO HER, FEAR NOT; GO AND DO
AS THOU HAST SAID: BUT MAKE ME THEREOF A LITTLE CAKE FIRST,
AND BRING IT UNTO ME, AND AFTER MAKE FOR THEE AND FOR THY
SON. 14 FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, THE BARREL OF
MEAL SHALL NOT WASTE, NEITHER SHALL THE CRUSE OF OIL FAIL,
UNTIL THE DAY THAT THE LORD SENDETH RAIN UPON THE EARTH.
15 AND SHE WENT AND DID ACCORDING TO THE SAYING OF ELIJAH:

 THE FIRST BOOK OF THE KINGS
LIVETH, BEFORE WHOM I STAND, I WILL SURELY SHEW MYSELF
CHAPTER 18 UNTO HIM TO DAY. 16 SO OBADIAH WENT TO MEET AHAB, AND TOLD
HIM: AND AHAB WENT TO MEET ELIJAH. 17 AND IT CAME TO PASS,
WHEN AHAB SAW ELIJAH, THAT AHAB SAID UNTO HIM, ART THOU
AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER MANY DAYS, THAT THE WORD OF THE

LORD CAME TO ELIJAH IN THE THIRD YEAR, SAYING, GO, SHEW
TROUBLED ISRAEL; BUT THOU, AND THY FATHER’S HOUSE, IN THAT
THYSELF UNTO AHAB; AND I WILL SEND RAIN UPON THE EARTH. 2
YE HAVE FORSAKEN THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD, AND THOU
AND ELIJAH WENT TO SHEW HIMSELF UNTO AHAB. AND THERE WAS
HAST FOLLOWED BAALIM. 19 NOW THEREFORE SEND, AND GATHER
A SORE FAMINE IN SAMARIA. 3 AND AHAB CALLED OBADIAH, WHICH
TO ME ALL ISRAEL UNTO MOUNT CARMEL, AND THE PROPHETS OF

BAAL FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY, AND THE PROPHETS OF THE
LORD GREATLY: 4 FOR IT WAS SO, WHEN JEZEBEL CUT OFF THE
GROVES FOUR HUNDRED, WHICH EAT AT JEZEBEL’S TABLE. 20 SO
PROPHETS OF THE LORD, THAT OBADIAH TOOK AN HUNDRED
AHAB SENT UNTO ALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND GATHERED
PROPHETS, AND HID THEM BY FIFTY IN A CAVE, AND FED THEM WITH
THE PROPHETS TOGETHER UNTO MOUNT CARMEL. 21 AND ELIJAH
BREAD AND WATER.) 5 AND AHAB SAID UNTO OBADIAH, GO INTO
CAME UNTO ALL THE PEOPLE, AND SAID, HOW LONG HALT YE
THE LAND, UNTO ALL FOUNTAINS OF WATER, AND UNTO ALL
BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS? IF THE LORD BE GOD, FOLLOW HIM: BUT
BROOKS: PERADVENTURE WE MAY FIND GRASS TO SAVE THE HORSES
IF BAAL, THEN FOLLOW HIM. AND THE PEOPLE ANSWERED HIM NOT
AND MULES ALIVE, THAT WE LOSE NOT ALL THE BEASTS. 6 SO THEY
A WORD. 22 THEN SAID ELIJAH UNTO THE PEOPLE, I, EVEN I ONLY,
DIVIDED THE LAND BETWEEN THEM TO PASS THROUGHOUT IT: AHAB
REMAIN A PROPHET OF THE LORD; BUT BAAL’S PROPHETS ARE FOUR
WENT ONE WAY BY HIMSELF, AND OBADIAH WENT ANOTHER WAY
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN. 23 LET THEM THEREFORE GIVE US TWO
BY HIMSELF. 7 AND AS OBADIAH WAS IN THE WAY, BEHOLD, ELIJAH
BULLOCKS; AND LET THEM CHOOSE ONE BULLOCK FOR THEMSELVES,
MET HIM: AND HE KNEW HIM, AND FELL ON HIS FACE, AND SAID,
AND CUT IT IN PIECES, AND LAY IT ON WOOD, AND PUT NO FIRE
ART THOU THAT MY LORD ELIJAH? 8 AND HE ANSWERED HIM, I AM:
UNDER: AND I WILL DRESS THE OTHER BULLOCK, AND LAY IT ON
GO, TELL THY LORD, BEHOLD, ELIJAH IS HERE. 9 AND HE SAID, WHAT
WOOD, AND PUT NO FIRE UNDER: 24 AND CALL YE ON THE NAME OF
HAVE I SINNED, THAT THOU WOULDEST DELIVER THY SERVANT INTO
YOUR GODS, AND I WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD: AND THE
THE HAND OF AHAB, TO SLAY ME? 10 AS THE LORD THY GOD LIVETH,
GOD THAT ANSWERETH BY FIRE, LET HIM BE GOD. AND ALL THE
THERE IS NO NATION OR KINGDOM, WHITHER MY LORD HATH NOT
PEOPLE ANSWERED AND SAID, IT IS WELL SPOKEN. 25 AND ELIJAH
SENT TO SEEK THEE: AND WHEN THEY SAID, HE IS NOT THERE; HE
SAID UNTO THE PROPHETS OF BAAL, CHOOSE YOU ONE BULLOCK
TOOK AN OATH OF THE KINGDOM AND NATION, THAT THEY FOUND
FOR YOURSELVES, AND DRESS IT FIRST; FOR YE ARE MANY; AND CALL
THEE NOT. 11 AND NOW THOU SAYEST, GO, TELL THY LORD, BEHOLD,
ON THE NAME OF YOUR GODS, BUT PUT NO FIRE UNDER. 26 AND
ELIJAH IS HERE. 12 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, AS SOON AS I AM
THEY TOOK THE BULLOCK WHICH WAS GIVEN THEM, AND THEY
GONE FROM THEE, THAT THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SHALL CARRY
DRESSED IT, AND CALLED ON THE NAME OF BAAL FROM MORNING
THEE WHITHER I KNOW NOT; AND SO WHEN I COME AND TELL AHAB,
EVEN UNTIL NOON, SAYING, O BAAL, HEAR US. BUT THERE WAS NO
AND HE CANNOT FIND THEE, HE SHALL SLAY ME: BUT I THY SERVANT
VOICE, NOR ANY THAT ANSWERED. AND THEY LEAPED UPON THE
FEAR THE LORD FROM MY YOUTH. 13 WAS IT NOT TOLD MY LORD
ALTAR WHICH WAS MADE. 27 AND IT CAME TO PASS AT NOON, THAT
WHAT I DID WHEN JEZEBEL SLEW THE PROPHETS OF THE LORD,
ELIJAH MOCKED THEM, AND SAID, CRY ALOUD: FOR HE IS A GOD;
HOW I HID AN HUNDRED MEN OF THE LORD’S PROPHETS BY FIFTY
EITHER HE IS TALKING, OR HE IS PURSUING, OR HE IS IN A JOURNEY,

WITH KNIVES AND LANCETS, TILL THE BLOOD GUSHED OUT UPON AND ELIJAH WENT UP TO THE TOP OF CARMEL; AND HE CAST
THEM. 29 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN MIDDAY WAS PAST, AND HIMSELF DOWN UPON THE EARTH, AND PUT HIS FACE BETWEEN HIS
THEY PROPHESIED UNTIL THE TIME OF THE OFFERING OF THE KNEES, 43 AND SAID TO HIS SERVANT, GO UP NOW, LOOK TOWARD
EVENING SACRIFICE, THAT THERE WAS NEITHER VOICE, NOR ANY TO THE SEA. AND HE WENT UP, AND LOOKED, AND SAID, THERE IS
ANSWER, NOR ANY THAT REGARDED. 30 AND ELIJAH SAID UNTO ALL NOTHING. AND HE SAID, GO AGAIN SEVEN TIMES. 44 AND IT CAME
THE PEOPLE, COME NEAR UNTO ME. AND ALL THE PEOPLE CAME TO PASS AT THE SEVENTH TIME, THAT HE SAID, BEHOLD, THERE
NEAR UNTO HIM. AND HE REPAIRED THE ALTAR OF THE LORD THAT ARISETH A LITTLE CLOUD OUT OF THE SEA, LIKE A MAN’S HAND. AND
WAS BROKEN DOWN. 31 AND ELIJAH TOOK TWELVE STONES, HE SAID, GO UP, SAY UNTO AHAB, PREPARE THY CHARIOT, AND GET
ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF THE TRIBES OF THE SONS OF JACOB, THEE DOWN, THAT THE RAIN STOP THEE NOT. 45 AND IT CAME TO
UNTO WHOM THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME, SAYING, ISRAEL SHALL PASS IN THE MEAN WHILE, THAT THE HEAVEN WAS BLACK WITH
BE THY NAME: 32 AND WITH THE STONES HE BUILT AN ALTAR IN CLOUDS AND WIND, AND THERE WAS A GREAT RAIN. AND AHAB
THE NAME OF THE LORD: AND HE MADE A TRENCH ABOUT THE RODE, AND WENT TO JEZREEL. 46 AND THE HAND OF THE LORD WAS
ALTAR, AS GREAT AS WOULD CONTAIN TWO MEASURES OF SEED. 33 ON ELIJAH; AND HE GIRDED UP HIS LOINS, AND RAN BEFORE AHAB
AND HE PUT THE WOOD IN ORDER, AND CUT THE BULLOCK IN TO THE ENTRANCE OF JEZREEL.
PIECES, AND LAID HIM ON THE WOOD, AND SAID, FILL FOUR
BARRELS WITH WATER, AND POUR IT ON THE BURNT SACRIFICE,
AND ON THE WOOD. 34 AND HE SAID, DO IT THE SECOND TIME. AND
THEY DID IT THE SECOND TIME. AND HE SAID, DO IT THE THIRD TIME.
AND THEY DID IT THE THIRD TIME. 35 AND THE WATER RAN ROUND
ABOUT THE ALTAR; AND HE FILLED THE TRENCH ALSO WITH WATER.
36 AND IT CAME TO PASS AT THE TIME OF THE OFFERING OF THE
EVENING SACRIFICE, THAT ELIJAH THE PROPHET CAME NEAR, AND
SAID, LORD GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND OF ISRAEL, LET IT BE
KNOWN THIS DAY THAT THOU ART GOD IN ISRAEL, AND THAT I AM
THY SERVANT, AND THAT I HAVE DONE ALL THESE THINGS AT THY
WORD. 37 HEAR ME, O LORD, HEAR ME, THAT THIS PEOPLE MAY
KNOW THAT THOU ART THE LORD GOD, AND THAT THOU HAST
TURNED THEIR HEART BACK AGAIN. 38 THEN THE FIRE OF THE LORD
FELL, AND CONSUMED THE BURNT SACRIFICE, AND THE WOOD, AND
THE STONES, AND THE DUST, AND LICKED UP THE WATER THAT WAS
IN THE TRENCH. 39 AND WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE SAW IT, THEY FELL
ON THEIR FACES: AND THEY SAID, THE LORD, HE IS THE GOD; THE
LORD, HE IS THE GOD. 40 AND ELIJAH SAID UNTO THEM, TAKE THE
PROPHETS OF BAAL; LET NOT ONE OF THEM ESCAPE. AND THEY
TOOK THEM: AND ELIJAH BROUGHT THEM DOWN TO THE BROOK
KISHON, AND SLEW THEM THERE. 41 AND ELIJAH SAID UNTO AHAB,
GET THEE UP, EAT AND DRINK; FOR THERE IS A SOUND OF
ABUNDANCE OF RAIN. 42 SO AHAB WENT UP TO EAT AND TO DRINK.

 THE FIRST BOOK OF THE KINGS
STILL SMALL VOICE. 13 AND IT WAS SO, WHEN ELIJAH HEARD IT,
CHAPTER 19 THAT HE WRAPPED HIS FACE IN HIS MANTLE, AND WENT OUT, AND
STOOD IN THE ENTERING IN OF THE CAVE. AND, BEHOLD, THERE
CAME A VOICE UNTO HIM, AND SAID, WHAT DOEST THOU HERE,
AND AHAB TOLD JEZEBEL ALL THAT ELIJAH HAD DONE, AND WITHAL
ELIJAH? 14 AND HE SAID, I HAVE BEEN VERY JEALOUS FOR THE LORD
HOW HE HAD SLAIN ALL THE PROPHETS WITH THE SWORD. 2 THEN
GOD OF HOSTS: BECAUSE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAVE FORSAKEN
JEZEBEL SENT A MESSENGER UNTO ELIJAH, SAYING, SO LET THE
THY COVENANT, THROWN DOWN THINE ALTARS, AND SLAIN THY
GODS DO TO ME, AND MORE ALSO, IF I MAKE NOT THY LIFE AS THE
PROPHETS WITH THE SWORD; AND I, EVEN I ONLY, AM LEFT; AND
LIFE OF ONE OF THEM BY TO MORROW ABOUT THIS TIME. 3 AND
THEY SEEK MY LIFE, TO TAKE IT AWAY. 15 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO
WHEN HE SAW THAT, HE AROSE, AND WENT FOR HIS LIFE, AND
HIM, GO, RETURN ON THY WAY TO THE WILDERNESS OF DAMASCUS:
CAME TO BEER-SHEBA, WHICH BELONGETH TO JUDAH, AND LEFT
AND WHEN THOU COMEST, ANOINT HAZAEL TO BE KING OVER SYRIA:

DIE; AND SAID, IT IS ENOUGH; NOW, O LORD, TAKE AWAY MY LIFE;
AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT HIM THAT ESCAPETH THE
FOR I AM NOT BETTER THAN MY FATHERS. 5 AND AS HE LAY AND
SWORD OF HAZAEL SHALL JEHU SLAY: AND HIM THAT ESCAPETH
SLEPT UNDER A JUNIPER TREE, BEHOLD, THEN AN ANGEL TOUCHED
FROM THE SWORD OF JEHU SHALL ELISHA SLAY. 18 YET I HAVE LEFT
HIM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, ARISE AND EAT. 6 AND HE LOOKED, AND,
ME SEVEN THOUSAND IN ISRAEL, ALL THE KNEES WHICH HAVE NOT
BEHOLD, THERE WAS A CAKE BAKEN ON THE COALS, AND A CRUSE
BOWED UNTO BAAL, AND EVERY MOUTH WHICH HATH NOT KISSED
OF WATER AT HIS HEAD. AND HE DID EAT AND DRINK, AND LAID HIM
HIM. 19 SO HE DEPARTED THENCE, AND FOUND ELISHA THE SON OF

SHAPHAT, WHO WAS PLOWING WITH TWELVE YOKE OF OXEN
SECOND TIME, AND TOUCHED HIM, AND SAID, ARISE AND EAT;
BEFORE HIM, AND HE WITH THE TWELFTH: AND ELIJAH PASSED BY
BECAUSE THE JOURNEY IS TOO GREAT FOR THEE. 8 AND HE AROSE,
HIM, AND CAST HIS MANTLE UPON HIM. 20 AND HE LEFT THE OXEN,
AND DID EAT AND DRINK, AND WENT IN THE STRENGTH OF THAT
AND RAN AFTER ELIJAH, AND SAID, LET ME, I PRAY THEE, KISS MY
MEAT FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS UNTO HOREB THE MOUNT OF
FATHER AND MY MOTHER, AND THEN I WILL FOLLOW THEE. AND HE

SAID UNTO HIM, GO BACK AGAIN: FOR WHAT HAVE I DONE TO THEE?
AND, BEHOLD, THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO HIM, AND HE SAID

BENHADAD WAS DRINKING HIMSELF DRUNK IN THE PAVILIONS, HE

SLEW EVERY ONE HIS MAN: AND THE SYRIANS FLED; AND ISRAEL
PRAY YOU, AND SEE HOW THIS MAN SEEKETH MISCHIEF: FOR HE
PURSUED THEM: AND BEN-HADAD THE KING OF SYRIA ESCAPED ON

IT CAME TO PASS AT THE RETURN OF THE YEAR, THAT BEN-HADAD AND THE MAN REFUSED TO SMITE HIM. 36 THEN SAID HE UNTO HIM,
NUMBERED THE SYRIANS, AND WENT UP TO APHEK, TO FIGHT BECAUSE THOU HAST NOT OBEYED THE VOICE OF THE LORD,
AGAINST ISRAEL. 27 AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE BEHOLD, AS SOON AS THOU ART DEPARTED FROM ME, A LION SHALL
NUMBERED, AND WERE ALL PRESENT, AND WENT AGAINST THEM: SLAY THEE. AND AS SOON AS HE WAS DEPARTED FROM HIM, A LION
AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL PITCHED BEFORE THEM LIKE TWO FOUND HIM, AND SLEW HIM. 37 THEN HE FOUND ANOTHER MAN,
LITTLE FLOCKS OF KIDS; BUT THE SYRIANS FILLED THE COUNTRY. 28 AND SAID, SMITE ME, I PRAY THEE. AND THE MAN SMOTE HIM, SO
AND THERE CAME A MAN OF GOD, AND SPAKE UNTO THE KING OF THAT IN SMITING HE WOUNDED HIM. 38 SO THE PROPHET DEPARTED,
ISRAEL, AND SAID, THUS SAITH THE LORD, BECAUSE THE SYRIANS AND WAITED FOR THE KING BY THE WAY, AND DISGUISED HIMSELF
HAVE SAID, THE LORD IS GOD OF THE HILLS, BUT HE IS NOT GOD OF WITH ASHES UPON HIS FACE. 39 AND AS THE KING PASSED BY, HE

MULTITUDE INTO THINE HAND, AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE THE MIDST OF THE BATTLE; AND, BEHOLD, A MAN TURNED ASIDE,
LORD. 29 AND THEY PITCHED ONE OVER AGAINST THE OTHER SEVEN AND BROUGHT A MAN UNTO ME, AND SAID, KEEP THIS MAN: IF BY
DAYS. AND SO IT WAS, THAT IN THE SEVENTH DAY THE BATTLE WAS ANY MEANS HE BE MISSING, THEN SHALL THY LIFE BE FOR HIS LIFE,
JOINED: AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SLEW OF THE SYRIANS AN OR ELSE THOU SHALT PAY A TALENT OF SILVER. 40 AND AS THY

AND SEVEN THOUSAND OF THE MEN THAT WERE LEFT. AND BEN- THYSELF HAST DECIDED IT. 41 AND HE HASTED, AND TOOK THE
HADAD FLED, AND CAME INTO THE CITY, INTO AN INNER CHAMBER. ASHES AWAY FROM HIS FACE; AND THE KING OF ISRAEL DISCERNED
31 AND HIS SERVANTS SAID UNTO HIM, BEHOLD NOW, WE HAVE HIM THAT HE WAS OF THE PROPHETS. 42 AND HE SAID UNTO HIM,
HEARD THAT THE KINGS OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL ARE MERCIFUL THUS SAITH THE LORD, BECAUSE THOU HAST LET GO OUT OF THY
KINGS: LET US, I PRAY THEE, PUT SACKCLOTH ON OUR LOINS, AND HAND A MAN WHOM I APPOINTED TO UTTER DESTRUCTION,
ROPES UPON OUR HEADS, AND GO OUT TO THE KING OF ISRAEL: THEREFORE THY LIFE SHALL GO FOR HIS LIFE, AND THY PEOPLE FOR
PERADVENTURE HE WILL SAVE THY LIFE. 32 SO THEY GIRDED HIS PEOPLE. 43 AND THE KING OF ISRAEL WENT TO HIS HOUSE
SACKCLOTH ON THEIR LOINS, AND PUT ROPES ON THEIR HEADS, HEAVY AND DISPLEASED, AND CAME TO SAMARIA.
AND CAME TO THE KING OF ISRAEL, AND SAID, THY SERVANT BEN-
HADAD SAITH, I PRAY THEE, LET ME LIVE. AND HE SAID, IS HE YET
ALIVE? HE IS MY BROTHER. 33 NOW THE MEN DID DILIGENTLY
OBSERVE WHETHER ANY THING WOULD COME FROM HIM, AND DID
HASTILY CATCH IT: AND THEY SAID, THY BROTHER BEN-HADAD.
THEN HE SAID, GO YE, BRING HIM. THEN BEN-HADAD CAME FORTH
TO HIM; AND HE CAUSED HIM TO COME UP INTO THE CHARIOT. 34
AND BEN-HADAD SAID UNTO HIM, THE CITIES, WHICH MY FATHER
TOOK FROM THY FATHER, I WILL RESTORE; AND THOU SHALT MAKE
STREETS FOR THEE IN DAMASCUS, AS MY FATHER MADE IN SAMARIA.
THEN SAID AHAB, I WILL SEND THEE AWAY WITH THIS COVENANT.

AHAB HEARD THAT NABOTH WAS DEAD, THAT AHAB ROSE UP TO GO
AHAB CAME INTO HIS HOUSE HEAVY AND DISPLEASED BECAUSE OF
DOWN TO THE VINEYARD OF NABOTH THE JEZREELITE, TO TAKE

SEALED THEM WITH HIS SEAL, AND SENT THE LETTERS UNTO THE

SOFTLY. 28 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO ELIJAH THE

JEHOSHAPHAT, DID I NOT TELL THEE THAT HE WOULD PROPHESY
INQUIRE, I PRAY THEE, AT THE WORD OF THE LORD TO DAY. 6 THEN
NO GOOD CONCERNING ME, BUT EVIL? 19 AND HE SAID, HEAR THOU
THE KING OF ISRAEL GATHERED THE PROPHETS TOGETHER, ABOUT
THEREFORE THE WORD OF THE LORD: I SAW THE LORD SITTING ON
FOUR HUNDRED MEN, AND SAID UNTO THEM, SHALL I GO AGAINST
HIS THRONE, AND ALL THE HOST OF HEAVEN STANDING BY HIM ON

HIS RIGHT HAND AND ON HIS LEFT. 20 AND THE LORD SAID, WHO

RAMOTH-GILEAD? AND ONE SAID ON THIS MANNER, AND ANOTHER
OF THE LORD BESIDES, THAT WE MIGHT INQUIRE OF HIM? 8 AND
SAID ON THAT MANNER. 21 AND THERE CAME FORTH A SPIRIT, AND
THE KING OF ISRAEL SAID UNTO JEHOSHAPHAT, THERE IS YET ONE
STOOD BEFORE THE LORD, AND SAID, I WILL PERSUADE HIM. 22 AND
MAN, MICAIAH THE SON OF IMLAH, BY WHOM WE MAY INQUIRE OF

KING SAY SO. 9 THEN THE KING OF ISRAEL CALLED AN OFFICER, AND
PREVAIL ALSO: GO FORTH, AND DO SO. 23 NOW THEREFORE, BEHOLD,
SAID, HASTEN HITHER MICAIAH THE SON OF IMLAH. 10 AND THE

CAPTAINS OF THE CHARIOTS PERCEIVED THAT IT WAS NOT THE KING GOLD: BUT THEY WENT NOT; FOR THE SHIPS WERE BROKEN AT

THAT YE GO TO INQUIRE OF BAALZEBUB THE GOD OF EKRON? 4 NOW
WENT DOWN WITH HIM UNTO THE KING. 16 AND HE SAID UNTO HIM,
THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD, THOU SHALT NOT COME DOWN

TURNED BACK? 6 AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM, THERE CAME A MAN
ON WHICH THOU ART GONE UP, BUT SHALT SURELY DIE. 17 SO HE

SPOKEN. AND JEHORAM REIGNED IN HIS STEAD IN THE SECOND
IS IT NOT BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A GOD IN ISRAEL, THAT THOU
YEAR OF JEHORAM THE SON OF JEHOSHAPHAT KING OF JUDAH;
SENDEST TO INQUIRE OF BAAL-ZEBUB THE GOD OF EKRON?
BECAUSE HE HAD NO SON. 18 NOW THE REST OF THE ACTS OF
THEREFORE THOU SHALT NOT COME DOWN FROM THAT BED ON
AHAZIAH WHICH HE DID, ARE THEY NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF
WHICH THOU ART GONE UP, BUT SHALT SURELY DIE. 7 AND HE SAID

UNTO THEM, WHAT MANNER OF MAN WAS HE WHICH CAME UP TO
MEET YOU, AND TOLD YOU THESE WORDS? 8 AND THEY ANSWERED
HIM, HE WAS AN HAIRY MAN, AND GIRT WITH A GIRDLE OF LEATHER
ABOUT HIS LOINS. AND HE SAID, IT IS ELIJAH THE TISHBITE. 9 THEN
THE KING SENT UNTO HIM A CAPTAIN OF FIFTY WITH HIS FIFTY. AND
HE WENT UP TO HIM: AND, BEHOLD, HE SAT ON THE TOP OF AN HILL.
AND HE SPAKE UNTO HIM, THOU MAN OF GOD, THE KING HATH SAID,

OF FIFTY, IF I BE A MAN OF GOD, THEN LET FIRE COME DOWN FROM

DOWN FIRE FROM HEAVEN, AND CONSUMED HIM AND HIS FIFTY. 11

AN ALTAR THAT WAS AT DAMASCUS: AND KING AHAZ SENT TO
URIJAH THE PRIEST THE FASHION OF THE ALTAR, AND THE PATTERN
OF IT, ACCORDING TO ALL THE WORKMANSHIP THEREOF. 11 AND
URIJAH THE PRIEST BUILT AN ALTAR ACCORDING TO ALL THAT KING
AHAZ HAD SENT FROM DAMASCUS: SO URIJAH THE PRIEST MADE IT

THE LAW WHICH I COMMANDED YOUR FATHERS, AND WHICH I SENT
CHAPTER 17 TO YOU BY MY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS. 14 NOTWITHSTANDING
THEY WOULD NOT HEAR, BUT HARDENED THEIR NECKS, LIKE TO THE
NECK OF THEIR FATHERS, THAT DID NOT BELIEVE IN THE LORD THEIR
IN THE TWELFTH YEAR OF AHAZ KING OF JUDAH BEGAN HOSHEA

THE SON OF ELAH TO REIGN IN SAMARIA OVER ISRAEL NINE YEARS.
THAT HE MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS, AND HIS TESTIMONIES WHICH
2 AND HE DID THAT WHICH WAS EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD,
HE TESTIFIED AGAINST THEM; AND THEY FOLLOWED VANITY, AND
BUT NOT AS THE KINGS OF ISRAEL THAT WERE BEFORE HIM. 3
BECAME VAIN, AND WENT AFTER THE HEATHEN THAT WERE ROUND
AGAINST HIM CAME UP SHALMANESER KING OF ASSYRIA; AND
ABOUT THEM, CONCERNING WHOM THE LORD HAD CHARGED THEM,
HOSHEA BECAME HIS SERVANT, AND GAVE HIM PRESENTS. 4 AND
THAT THEY SHOULD NOT DO LIKE THEM. 16 AND THEY LEFT ALL THE
THE KING OF ASSYRIA FOUND CONSPIRACY IN HOSHEA: FOR HE HAD
COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD THEIR GOD, AND MADE THEM
SENT MESSENGERS TO SO KING OF EGYPT, AND BROUGHT NO
MOLTEN IMAGES, EVEN TWO CALVES, AND MADE A GROVE, AND
PRESENT TO THE KING OF ASSYRIA, AS HE HAD DONE YEAR BY YEAR:
WORSHIPPED ALL THE HOST OF HEAVEN, AND SERVED BAAL. 17 AND
THEREFORE THE KING OF ASSYRIA SHUT HIM UP, AND BOUND HIM
THEY CAUSED THEIR SONS AND THEIR DAUGHTERS TO PASS
IN PRISON. 5 THEN THE KING OF ASSYRIA CAME UP THROUGHOUT
THROUGH THE FIRE, AND USED DIVINATION AND ENCHANTMENTS,
ALL THE LAND, AND WENT UP TO SAMARIA, AND BESIEGED IT THREE
AND SOLD THEMSELVES TO DO EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, TO
YEARS. 6 IN THE NINTH YEAR OF HOSHEA THE KING OF ASSYRIA
PROVOKE HIM TO ANGER. 18 THEREFORE THE LORD WAS VERY
TOOK SAMARIA, AND CARRIED ISRAEL AWAY INTO ASSYRIA, AND
ANGRY WITH ISRAEL, AND REMOVED THEM OUT OF HIS SIGHT:
PLACED THEM IN HALAH AND IN HABOR BY THE RIVER OF GOZAN,
THERE WAS NONE LEFT BUT THE TRIBE OF JUDAH ONLY. 19 ALSO
AND IN THE CITIES OF THE MEDES. 7 FOR SO IT WAS, THAT THE
JUDAH KEPT NOT THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD THEIR GOD,
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAD SINNED AGAINST THE LORD THEIR GOD,
BUT WALKED IN THE STATUTES OF ISRAEL WHICH THEY MADE. 20
WHICH HAD BROUGHT THEM UP OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, FROM
AND THE LORD REJECTED ALL THE SEED OF ISRAEL, AND AFFLICTED
UNDER THE HAND OF PHARAOH KING OF EGYPT, AND HAD FEARED
THEM, AND DELIVERED THEM INTO THE HAND OF SPOILERS, UNTIL
OTHER GODS, 8 AND WALKED IN THE STATUTES OF THE HEATHEN,
HE HAD CAST THEM OUT OF HIS SIGHT. 21 FOR HE RENT ISRAEL
WHOM THE LORD CAST OUT FROM BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,
FROM THE HOUSE OF DAVID; AND THEY MADE JEROBOAM THE SON
AND OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL, WHICH THEY HAD MADE. 9 AND THE
OF NEBAT KING: AND JEROBOAM DRAVE ISRAEL FROM FOLLOWING
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID SECRETLY THOSE THINGS THAT WERE NOT
THE LORD, AND MADE THEM SIN A GREAT SIN. 22 FOR THE
RIGHT AGAINST THE LORD THEIR GOD, AND THEY BUILT THEM HIGH
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WALKED IN ALL THE SINS OF JEROBOAM
PLACES IN ALL THEIR CITIES, FROM THE TOWER OF THE WATCHMEN
WHICH HE DID; THEY DEPARTED NOT FROM THEM; 23 UNTIL THE
TO THE FENCED CITY. 10 AND THEY SET THEM UP IMAGES AND
LORD REMOVED ISRAEL OUT OF HIS SIGHT, AS HE HAD SAID BY ALL
GROVES IN EVERY HIGH HILL, AND UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE: 11
HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS. SO WAS ISRAEL CARRIED AWAY OUT
AND THERE THEY BURNT INCENSE IN ALL THE HIGH PLACES, AS DID
OF THEIR OWN LAND TO ASSYRIA UNTO THIS DAY. 24 AND THE KING
THE HEATHEN WHOM THE LORD CARRIED AWAY BEFORE THEM; AND
OF ASSYRIA BROUGHT MEN FROM BABYLON, AND FROM CUTHAH,
WROUGHT WICKED THINGS TO PROVOKE THE LORD TO ANGER: 12
AND FROM AVA, AND FROM HAMATH, AND FROM SEPHARVAIM, AND
FOR THEY SERVED IDOLS, WHEREOF THE LORD HAD SAID UNTO
PLACED THEM IN THE CITIES OF SAMARIA INSTEAD OF THE
THEM, YE SHALL NOT DO THIS THING. 13 YET THE LORD TESTIFIED
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL: AND THEY POSSESSED SAMARIA, AND DWELT
AGAINST ISRAEL, AND AGAINST JUDAH, BY ALL THE PROPHETS, AND
IN THE CITIES THEREOF. 25 AND SO IT WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF
BY ALL THE SEERS, SAYING, TURN YE FROM YOUR EVIL WAYS, AND
THEIR DWELLING THERE, THAT THEY FEARED NOT THE LORD:
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS AND MY STATUTES, ACCORDING TO ALL

 THE SECOND BOOK OF THE KINGS
THEREFORE THE LORD SENT LIONS AMONG THEM, WHICH SLEW YOU, YE SHALL OBSERVE TO DO FOR EVERMORE; AND YE SHALL NOT

ASSYRIA, SAYING, THE NATIONS WHICH THOU HAST REMOVED, AND YOU YE SHALL NOT FORGET; NEITHER SHALL YE FEAR OTHER GODS.

ASSYRIA COMMANDED, SAYING, CARRY THITHER ONE OF THE SERVED THEIR GRAVEN IMAGES, BOTH THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEIR
PRIESTS WHOM YE BROUGHT FROM THENCE; AND LET THEM GO AND CHILDREN’S CHILDREN: AS DID THEIR FATHERS, SO DO THEY UNTO
DWELL THERE, AND LET HIM TEACH THEM THE MANNER OF THE THIS DAY.
GOD OF THE LAND. 28 THEN ONE OF THE PRIESTS WHOM THEY HAD
CARRIED AWAY FROM SAMARIA CAME AND DWELT IN BETH-EL, AND
TAUGHT THEM HOW THEY SHOULD FEAR THE LORD. 29 HOWBEIT
EVERY NATION MADE GODS OF THEIR OWN, AND PUT THEM IN THE
HOUSES OF THE HIGH PLACES WHICH THE SAMARITANS HAD MADE,
EVERY NATION IN THEIR CITIES WHEREIN THEY DWELT. 30 AND THE
MEN OF BABYLON MADE SUCCOTHBENOTH, AND THE MEN OF CUTH
MADE NERGAL, AND THE MEN OF HAMATH MADE ASHIMA, 31 AND
THE AVITES MADE NIBHAZ AND TARTAK, AND THE SEPHARVITES
BURNT THEIR CHILDREN IN FIRE TO ADRAMMELECH AND
ANAMMELECH, THE GODS OF SEPHARVAIM. 32 SO THEY FEARED THE
LORD, AND MADE UNTO THEMSELVES OF THE LOWEST OF THEM
PRIESTS OF THE HIGH PLACES, WHICH SACRIFICED FOR THEM IN THE
HOUSES OF THE HIGH PLACES. 33 THEY FEARED THE LORD, AND
SERVED THEIR OWN GODS, AFTER THE MANNER OF THE NATIONS
WHOM THEY CARRIED AWAY FROM THENCE. 34 UNTO THIS DAY
THEY DO AFTER THE FORMER MANNERS: THEY FEAR NOT THE LORD,
NEITHER DO THEY AFTER THEIR STATUTES, OR AFTER THEIR
ORDINANCES, OR AFTER THE LAW AND COMMANDMENT WHICH THE
LORD COMMANDED THE CHILDREN OF JACOB, WHOM HE NAMED
ISRAEL; 35 WITH WHOM THE LORD HAD MADE A COVENANT, AND
CHARGED THEM, SAYING, YE SHALL NOT FEAR OTHER GODS, NOR
BOW YOURSELVES TO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM, NOR SACRIFICE TO
THEM: 36 BUT THE LORD, WHO BROUGHT YOU UP OUT OF THE LAND
OF EGYPT WITH GREAT POWER AND A STRETCHED OUT ARM, HIM
SHALL YE FEAR, AND HIM SHALL YE WORSHIP, AND TO HIM SHALL
YE DO SACRIFICE. 37 AND THE STATUTES, AND THE ORDINANCES,

LIVE, AND NOT DIE: AND HEARKEN NOT UNTO HEZEKIAH, WHEN HE
PERSUADETH YOU, SAYING, THE LORD WILL DELIVER US. 33 HATH

THE CONGREGATION OF ISRAEL, IF IT SEEM GOOD UNTO YOU, AND
THAT IT BE OF THE LORD OUR GOD, LET US SEND ABROAD UNTO OUR
BRETHREN EVERY WHERE, THAT ARE LEFT IN ALL THE LAND OF
ISRAEL, AND WITH THEM ALSO TO THE PRIESTS AND LEVITES WHICH
ARE IN THEIR CITIES AND SUBURBS, THAT THEY MAY GATHER
THEMSELVES UNTO US: 3 AND LET US BRING AGAIN THE ARK OF OUR
GOD TO US: FOR WE INQUIRED NOT AT IT IN THE DAYS OF SAUL. 4
AND ALL THE CONGREGATION SAID THAT THEY WOULD DO SO: FOR
THE THING WAS RIGHT IN THE EYES OF ALL THE PEOPLE. 5 SO DAVID
GATHERED ALL ISRAEL TOGETHER, FROM SHIHOR OF EGYPT EVEN
UNTO THE ENTERING OF HEMATH, TO BRING THE ARK OF GOD FROM
KIRJATH-JEARIM. 6 AND DAVID WENT UP, AND ALL ISRAEL, TO
BAALAH, THAT IS, TO KIRJATH-JEARIM, WHICH BELONGED TO
JUDAH, TO BRING UP THENCE THE ARK OF GOD THE LORD, THAT
DWELLETH BETWEEN THE CHERUBIMS, WHOSE NAME IS CALLED ON
IT. 7 AND THEY CARRIED THE ARK OF GOD IN A NEW CART OUT OF
THE HOUSE OF ABINADAB: AND UZZA AND AHIO DRAVE THE CART. 8
AND DAVID AND ALL ISRAEL PLAYED BEFORE GOD WITH ALL THEIR
MIGHT, AND WITH SINGING, AND WITH HARPS, AND WITH
PSALTERIES, AND WITH TIMBRELS, AND WITH CYMBALS, AND WITH
TRUMPETS. 9 AND WHEN THEY CAME UNTO THE THRESHINGFLOOR
OF CHIDON, UZZA PUT FORTH HIS HAND TO HOLD THE ARK; FOR THE
OXEN STUMBLED. 10 AND THE ANGER OF THE LORD WAS KINDLED
AGAINST UZZA, AND HE SMOTE HIM, BECAUSE HE PUT HIS HAND TO
THE ARK: AND THERE HE DIED BEFORE GOD. 11 AND DAVID WAS
DISPLEASED, BECAUSE THE LORD HAD MADE A BREACH UPON UZZA:
WHEREFORE THAT PLACE IS CALLED PEREZ-UZZA TO THIS DAY. 12
AND DAVID WAS AFRAID OF GOD THAT DAY, SAYING, HOW SHALL I
BRING THE ARK OF GOD HOME TO ME? 13 SO DAVID BROUGHT NOT
THE ARK HOME TO HIMSELF TO THE CITY OF DAVID, BUT CARRIED IT
ASIDE INTO THE HOUSE OF OBED-EDOM THE GITTITE. 14 AND THE

TIMBER OF CEDARS, WITH MASONS AND CARPENTERS, TO BUILD
HIM AN HOUSE. 2 AND DAVID PERCEIVED THAT THE LORD HAD
CONFIRMED HIM KING OVER ISRAEL, FOR HIS KINGDOM WAS LIFTED
UP ON HIGH, BECAUSE OF HIS PEOPLE ISRAEL. 3 AND DAVID TOOK
MORE WIVES AT JERUSALEM: AND DAVID BEGAT MORE SONS AND
DAUGHTERS. 4 NOW THESE ARE THE NAMES OF HIS CHILDREN

AND SOLOMON, 5 AND IBHAR, AND ELISHUA, AND ELPALET, 6 AND

THAT DAVID WAS ANOINTED KING OVER ALL ISRAEL, ALL THE
PHILISTINES WENT UP TO SEEK DAVID. AND DAVID HEARD OF IT,
AND WENT OUT AGAINST THEM. 9 AND THE PHILISTINES CAME AND
SPREAD THEMSELVES IN THE VALLEY OF REPHAIM. 10 AND DAVID
INQUIRED OF GOD, SAYING, SHALL I GO UP AGAINST THE
PHILISTINES? AND WILT THOU DELIVER THEM INTO MINE HAND?
AND THE LORD SAID UNTO HIM, GO UP; FOR I WILL DELIVER THEM
INTO THINE HAND. 11 SO THEY CAME UP TO BAAL-PERAZIM; AND
DAVID SMOTE THEM THERE. THEN DAVID SAID, GOD HATH BROKEN
IN UPON MINE ENEMIES BY MINE HAND LIKE THE BREAKING FORTH
OF WATERS: THEREFORE THEY CALLED THE NAME OF THAT PLACE
BAAL-PERAZIM. 12 AND WHEN THEY HAD LEFT THEIR GODS THERE,
DAVID GAVE A COMMANDMENT, AND THEY WERE BURNED WITH
FIRE. 13 AND THE PHILISTINES YET AGAIN SPREAD THEMSELVES
ABROAD IN THE VALLEY. 14 THEREFORE DAVID INQUIRED AGAIN OF
GOD; AND GOD SAID UNTO HIM, GO NOT UP AFTER THEM; TURN
AWAY FROM THEM, AND COME UPON THEM OVER AGAINST THE
MULBERRY TREES. 15 AND IT SHALL BE, WHEN THOU SHALT HEAR A
SOUND OF GOING IN THE TOPS OF THE MULBERRY TREES, THAT
THEN THOU SHALT GO OUT TO BATTLE: FOR GOD IS GONE FORTH
BEFORE THEE TO SMITE THE HOST OF THE PHILISTINES. 16 DAVID

WHEN THE SYRIANS OF DAMASCUS CAME TO HELP HADAREZER KING

THEM TO JERUSALEM. 8 LIKEWISE FROM TIBHATH, AND FROM CHUN,
CITIES OF HADAREZER, BROUGHT DAVID VERY MUCH BRASS,
WHEREWITH SOLOMON MADE THE BRASEN SEA, AND THE PILLARS,

HEARD HOW DAVID HAD SMITTEN ALL THE HOST OF HADAREZER
KING OF ZOBAH; 10 HE SENT HADORAM HIS SON TO KING DAVID, TO
INQUIRE OF HIS WELFARE, AND TO CONGRATULATE HIM, BECAUSE
HE HAD FOUGHT AGAINST HADAREZER, AND SMITTEN HIM; (FOR

MIGHTY MEN. 9 AND THE CHILDREN OF AMMON CAME OUT, AND
PUT THE BATTLE IN ARRAY BEFORE THE GATE OF THE CITY: AND THE
KINGS THAT WERE COME WERE BY THEMSELVES IN THE FIELD. 10
NOW WHEN JOAB SAW THAT THE BATTLE WAS SET AGAINST HIM
BEFORE AND BEHIND, HE CHOSE OUT OF ALL THE CHOICE OF ISRAEL,

OF THE ARMY, AND WASTED THE COUNTRY OF THE CHILDREN OF
AMMON, AND CAME AND BESIEGED RABBAH. BUT DAVID TARRIED
AT JERUSALEM. AND JOAB SMOTE RABBAH, AND DESTROYED IT. 2
AND DAVID TOOK THE CROWN OF THEIR KING FROM OFF HIS HEAD,
AND FOUND IT TO WEIGH A TALENT OF GOLD, AND THERE WERE
PRECIOUS STONES IN IT; AND IT WAS SET UPON DAVID’S HEAD: AND
HE BROUGHT ALSO EXCEEDING MUCH SPOIL OUT OF THE CITY. 3
AND HE BROUGHT OUT THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN IT, AND CUT
THEM WITH SAWS, AND WITH HARROWS OF IRON, AND WITH AXES.
EVEN SO DEALT DAVID WITH ALL THE CITIES OF THE CHILDREN OF
AMMON. AND DAVID AND ALL THE PEOPLE RETURNED TO
JERUSALEM. 4 AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER THIS, THAT THERE
AROSE WAR AT GEZER WITH THE PHILISTINES; AT WHICH TIME
SIBBECHAI THE HUSHATHITE SLEW SIPPAI, THAT WAS OF THE
CHILDREN OF THE GIANT: AND THEY WERE SUBDUED. 5 AND THERE
WAS WAR AGAIN WITH THE PHILISTINES; AND ELHANAN THE SON
OF JAIR SLEW LAHMI THE BROTHER OF GOLIATH THE GITTITE,

THERE WAS WAR AT GATH, WHERE WAS A MAN OF GREAT STATURE,
WHOSE FINGERS AND TOES WERE FOUR AND TWENTY, SIX ON EACH
HAND, AND SIX ON EACH FOOT: AND HE ALSO WAS THE SON OF THE
GIANT. 7 BUT WHEN HE DEFIED ISRAEL, JONATHAN THE SON OF

 THE FIRST BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES
LORD SENT PESTILENCE UPON ISRAEL: AND THERE FELL OF ISRAEL

HUNDRED TIMES SO MANY MORE AS THEY BE: BUT, MY LORD THE

MY LORD REQUIRE THIS THING? WHY WILL HE BE A CAUSE OF
DAVID SAID UNTO GOD, IS IT NOT I THAT COMMANDED THE PEOPLE
TRESPASS TO ISRAEL? 4 NEVERTHELESS THE KING’S WORD

PREVAILED AGAINST JOAB. WHEREFORE JOAB DEPARTED, AND WENT
INDEED; BUT AS FOR THESE SHEEP, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? LET

7 AND GOD WAS DISPLEASED WITH THIS THING; THEREFORE HE
SAW THE ANGEL; AND HIS FOUR SONS WITH HIM HID THEMSELVES.
SMOTE ISRAEL. 8 AND DAVID SAID UNTO GOD, I HAVE SINNED
NOW ORNAN WAS THRESHING WHEAT. 21 AND AS DAVID CAME TO
GREATLY, BECAUSE I HAVE DONE THIS THING: BUT NOW, I BESEECH
ORNAN, ORNAN LOOKED AND SAW DAVID, AND WENT OUT OF THE
THEE, DO AWAY THE INIQUITY OF THY SERVANT; FOR I HAVE DONE
THRESHINGFLOOR, AND BOWED HIMSELF TO DAVID WITH HIS FACE
VERY FOOLISHLY. 9 AND THE LORD SPAKE UNTO GAD, DAVID’S SEER,
TO THE GROUND. 22 THEN DAVID SAID TO ORNAN, GRANT ME THE
SAYING, 10 GO AND TELL DAVID, SAYING, THUS SAITH THE LORD, I
PLACE OF THIS THRESHINGFLOOR, THAT I MAY BUILD AN ALTAR
OFFER THEE THREE THINGS: CHOOSE THEE ONE OF THEM, THAT I

PRICE: THAT THE PLAGUE MAY BE STAYED FROM THE PEOPLE. 23
HIM, THUS SAITH THE LORD, CHOOSE THEE 12 EITHER THREE YEARS’

TAKE THAT WHICH IS THINE FOR THE LORD, NOR OFFER BURNT

FALL NOW INTO THE HAND OF THE LORD; FOR VERY GREAT ARE HIS
PLACE SIX HUNDRED SHEKELS OF GOLD BY WEIGHT. 26 AND DAVID

OFFERINGS AND PEACE OFFERINGS, AND CALLED UPON THE LORD;
AND HE ANSWERED HIM FROM HEAVEN BY FIRE UPON THE ALTAR
OF BURNT OFFERING. 27 AND THE LORD COMMANDED THE ANGEL;
AND HE PUT UP HIS SWORD AGAIN INTO THE SHEATH THEREOF. 28
AT THAT TIME WHEN DAVID SAW THAT THE LORD HAD ANSWERED
HIM IN THE THRESHINGFLOOR OF ORNAN THE JEBUSITE, THEN HE
SACRIFICED THERE. 29 FOR THE TABERNACLE OF THE LORD, WHICH
MOSES MADE IN THE WILDERNESS, AND THE ALTAR OF THE BURNT
OFFERING, WERE AT THAT SEASON IN THE HIGH PLACE AT GIBEON.
30 BUT DAVID COULD NOT GO BEFORE IT TO INQUIRE OF GOD: FOR

SOLOMON. 15 AND KING SOLOMON MADE TWO HUNDRED TARGETS
HIM OF ALL THAT WAS IN HER HEART. 2 AND SOLOMON TOLD HER
OF BEATEN GOLD: SIX HUNDRED SHEKELS OF BEATEN GOLD WENT

TO ONE TARGET. 16 AND THREE HUNDRED SHIELDS MADE HE OF
SOLOMON WHICH HE TOLD HER NOT. 3 AND WHEN THE QUEEN OF

LEBANON. 17 MOREOVER THE KING MADE A GREAT THRONE OF
HIS SERVANTS, AND THE ATTENDANCE OF HIS MINISTERS, AND
IVORY, AND OVERLAID IT WITH PURE GOLD. 18 AND THERE WERE
THEIR APPAREL; HIS CUPBEARERS ALSO, AND THEIR APPAREL; AND
SIX STEPS TO THE THRONE, WITH A FOOTSTOOL OF GOLD, WHICH

AS STONES, AND CEDAR TREES MADE HE AS THE SYCOMORE TREES
THAT ARE IN THE LOW PLAINS IN ABUNDANCE. 28 AND THEY
BROUGHT UNTO SOLOMON HORSES OUT OF EGYPT, AND OUT OF ALL
LANDS. 29 NOW THE REST OF THE ACTS OF SOLOMON, FIRST AND
LAST, ARE THEY NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF NATHAN THE
PROPHET, AND IN THE PROPHECY OF AHIJAH THE SHILONITE, AND
IN THE VISIONS OF IDDO THE SEER AGAINST JEROBOAM THE SON OF
NEBAT? 30 AND SOLOMON REIGNED IN JERUSALEM OVER ALL
ISRAEL FORTY YEARS. 31 AND SOLOMON SLEPT WITH HIS FATHERS,
AND HE WAS BURIED IN THE CITY OF DAVID HIS FATHER: AND
REHOBOAM HIS SON REIGNED IN HIS STEAD.

AFTER THE ADVICE OF THE YOUNG MEN, SAYING, MY FATHER MADE
CHAPTER 10 YOUR YOKE HEAVY, BUT I WILL ADD THERETO: MY FATHER
CHASTISED YOU WITH WHIPS, BUT I WILL CHASTISE YOU WITH
SCORPIONS. 15 SO THE KING HEARKENED NOT UNTO THE PEOPLE:
AND REHOBOAM WENT TO SHECHEM: FOR TO SHECHEM WERE ALL

HAD FLED FROM THE PRESENCE OF SOLOMON THE KING, HEARD IT,
THAT THE KING WOULD NOT HEARKEN UNTO THEM, THE PEOPLE
THAT JEROBOAM RETURNED OUT OF EGYPT. 3 AND THEY SENT AND
ANSWERED THE KING, SAYING, WHAT PORTION HAVE WE IN DAVID?
CALLED HIM. SO JEROBOAM AND ALL ISRAEL CAME AND SPAKE TO
AND WE HAVE NONE INHERITANCE IN THE SON OF JESSE: EVERY
REHOBOAM, SAYING, 4 THY FATHER MADE OUR YOKE GRIEVOUS:
MAN TO YOUR TENTS, O ISRAEL: AND NOW, DAVID, SEE TO THINE
NOW THEREFORE EASE THOU SOMEWHAT THE GRIEVOUS SERVITUDE

OF THY FATHER, AND HIS HEAVY YOKE THAT HE PUT UPON US, AND
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THAT DWELT IN THE CITIES OF JUDAH,
WE WILL SERVE THEE. 5 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, COME AGAIN
REHOBOAM REIGNED OVER THEM. 18 THEN KING REHOBOAM SENT
UNTO ME AFTER THREE DAYS. AND THE PEOPLE DEPARTED. 6 AND
HADORAM THAT WAS OVER THE TRIBUTE; AND THE CHILDREN OF
KING REHOBOAM TOOK COUNSEL WITH THE OLD MEN THAT HAD
ISRAEL STONED HIM WITH STONES, THAT HE DIED. BUT KING
STOOD BEFORE SOLOMON HIS FATHER WHILE HE YET LIVED, SAYING,
REHOBOAM MADE SPEED TO GET HIM UP TO HIS CHARIOT, TO FLEE

TO JERUSALEM. 19 AND ISRAEL REBELLED AGAINST THE HOUSE OF

PEOPLE, AND PLEASE THEM, AND SPEAK GOOD WORDS TO THEM,
THEY WILL BE THY SERVANTS FOR EVER. 8 BUT HE FORSOOK THE
COUNSEL WHICH THE OLD MEN GAVE HIM, AND TOOK COUNSEL
WITH THE YOUNG MEN THAT WERE BROUGHT UP WITH HIM, THAT
STOOD BEFORE HIM. 9 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHAT ADVICE
GIVE YE THAT WE MAY RETURN ANSWER TO THIS PEOPLE, WHICH
HAVE SPOKEN TO ME, SAYING, EASE SOMEWHAT THE YOKE THAT
THY FATHER DID PUT UPON US? 10 AND THE YOUNG MEN THAT
WERE BROUGHT UP WITH HIM SPAKE UNTO HIM, SAYING, THUS
SHALT THOU ANSWER THE PEOPLE THAT SPAKE UNTO THEE, SAYING,
THY FATHER MADE OUR YOKE HEAVY, BUT MAKE THOU IT
SOMEWHAT LIGHTER FOR US; THUS SHALT THOU SAY UNTO THEM,
MY LITTLE FINGER SHALL BE THICKER THAN MY FATHER’S LOINS. 11
FOR WHEREAS MY FATHER PUT A HEAVY YOKE UPON YOU, I WILL
PUT MORE TO YOUR YOKE: MY FATHER CHASTISED YOU WITH WHIPS,
BUT I WILL CHASTISE YOU WITH SCORPIONS. 12 SO JEROBOAM AND
ALL THE PEOPLE CAME TO REHOBOAM ON THE THIRD DAY, AS THE
KING BADE, SAYING, COME AGAIN TO ME ON THE THIRD DAY. 13 AND
THE KING ANSWERED THEM ROUGHLY; AND KING REHOBOAM
FORSOOK THE COUNSEL OF THE OLD MEN, 14 AND ANSWERED THEM

JERIMOTH THE SON OF DAVID TO WIFE, AND ABIHAIL THE DAUGHTER
CHAPTER 11 OF ELIAB THE SON OF JESSE; 19 WHICH BARE HIM CHILDREN; JEUSH,
AND SHAMARIAH, AND ZAHAM. 20 AND AFTER HER HE TOOK
MAACHAH THE DAUGHTER OF ABSALOM; WHICH BARE HIM ABIJAH,
AND WHEN REHOBOAM WAS COME TO JERUSALEM, HE GATHERED
AND ATTAI, AND ZIZA, AND SHELOMITH. 21 AND REHOBOAM LOVED
OF THE HOUSE OF JUDAH AND BENJAMIN AN HUNDRED AND
MAACHAH THE DAUGHTER OF ABSALOM ABOVE ALL HIS WIVES AND
FOURSCORE THOUSAND CHOSEN MEN, WHICH WERE WARRIORS, TO
HIS CONCUBINES: (FOR HE TOOK EIGHTEEN WIVES, AND
FIGHT AGAINST ISRAEL, THAT HE MIGHT BRING THE KINGDOM AGAIN
THREESCORE CONCUBINES; AND BEGAT TWENTY AND EIGHT SONS,
TO REHOBOAM. 2 BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO SHEMAIAH
AND THREESCORE DAUGHTERS.) 22 AND REHOBOAM MADE ABIJAH
THE MAN OF GOD, SAYING, 3 SPEAK UNTO REHOBOAM THE SON OF
THE SON OF MAACHAH THE CHIEF, TO BE RULER AMONG HIS
SOLOMON, KING OF JUDAH, AND TO ALL ISRAEL IN JUDAH AND
BRETHREN: FOR HE THOUGHT TO MAKE HIM KING. 23 AND HE DEALT
BENJAMIN, SAYING, 4 THUS SAITH THE LORD, YE SHALL NOT GO UP,
WISELY, AND DISPERSED OF ALL HIS CHILDREN THROUGHOUT ALL
NOR FIGHT AGAINST YOUR BRETHREN: RETURN EVERY MAN TO HIS
THE COUNTRIES OF JUDAH AND BENJAMIN, UNTO EVERY FENCED
HOUSE: FOR THIS THING IS DONE OF ME. AND THEY OBEYED THE
CITY: AND HE GAVE THEM VICTUAL IN ABUNDANCE. AND HE

DESIRED MANY WIVES.
JEROBOAM. 5 AND REHOBOAM DWELT IN JERUSALEM, AND BUILT
CITIES FOR DEFENCE IN JUDAH. 6 HE BUILT EVEN BETH-LEHEM, AND
ETAM, AND TEKOA, 7 AND BETH-ZUR, AND SHOCO, AND ADULLAM,
8 AND GATH, AND MARESHAH, AND ZIPH, 9 AND ADORAIM, AND
LACHISH, AND AZEKAH, 10 AND ZORAH, AND AIJALON, AND
HEBRON, WHICH ARE IN JUDAH AND IN BENJAMIN FENCED CITIES.
11 AND HE FORTIFIED THE STRONG HOLDS, AND PUT CAPTAINS IN
THEM, AND STORE OF VICTUAL, AND OF OIL AND WINE. 12 AND IN
EVERY SEVERAL CITY HE PUT SHIELDS AND SPEARS, AND MADE
THEM EXCEEDING STRONG, HAVING JUDAH AND BENJAMIN ON HIS
SIDE. 13 AND THE PRIESTS AND THE LEVITES THAT WERE IN ALL
ISRAEL RESORTED TO HIM OUT OF ALL THEIR COASTS. 14 FOR THE
LEVITES LEFT THEIR SUBURBS AND THEIR POSSESSION, AND CAME
TO JUDAH AND JERUSALEM: FOR JEROBOAM AND HIS SONS HAD
CAST THEM OFF FROM EXECUTING THE PRIEST’S OFFICE UNTO THE
LORD: 15 AND HE ORDAINED HIM PRIESTS FOR THE HIGH PLACES,
AND FOR THE DEVILS, AND FOR THE CALVES WHICH HE HAD MADE.
16 AND AFTER THEM OUT OF ALL THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL SUCH AS
SET THEIR HEARTS TO SEEK THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL CAME TO
JERUSALEM, TO SACRIFICE UNTO THE LORD GOD OF THEIR FATHERS.
17 SO THEY STRENGTHENED THE KINGDOM OF JUDAH, AND MADE
REHOBOAM THE SON OF SOLOMON STRONG, THREE YEARS: FOR
THREE YEARS THEY WALKED IN THE WAY OF DAVID AND SOLOMON.
18 AND REHOBOAM TOOK HIM MAHALATH THE DAUGHTER OF

 THE SECOND BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES
HIM, THAT HE WOULD NOT DESTROY HIM ALTOGETHER: AND ALSO
CHAPTER 12 IN JUDAH THINGS WENT WELL. 13 SO KING REHOBOAM
STRENGTHENED HIMSELF IN JERUSALEM, AND REIGNED: FOR
REHOBOAM WAS ONE AND FORTY YEARS OLD WHEN HE BEGAN TO
AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN REHOBOAM HAD ESTABLISHED THE
REIGN, AND HE REIGNED SEVENTEEN YEARS IN JERUSALEM, THE
KINGDOM, AND HAD STRENGTHENED HIMSELF, HE FORSOOK THE
CITY WHICH THE LORD HAD CHOSEN OUT OF ALL THE TRIBES OF
LAW OF THE LORD, AND ALL ISRAEL WITH HIM. 2 AND IT CAME TO
ISRAEL, TO PUT HIS NAME THERE. AND HIS MOTHER’S NAME WAS
PASS, THAT IN THE FIFTH YEAR OF KING REHOBOAM SHISHAK KING
NAAMAH AN AMMONITESS. 14 AND HE DID EVIL, BECAUSE HE
OF EGYPT CAME UP AGAINST JERUSALEM, BECAUSE THEY HAD
PREPARED NOT HIS HEART TO SEEK THE LORD. 15 NOW THE ACTS
TRANSGRESSED AGAINST THE LORD, 3 WITH TWELVE HUNDRED
OF REHOBOAM, FIRST AND LAST, ARE THEY NOT WRITTEN IN THE
CHARIOTS, AND THREESCORE THOUSAND HORSEMEN: AND THE
BOOK OF SHEMAIAH THE PROPHET, AND OF IDDO THE SEER
PEOPLE WERE WITHOUT NUMBER THAT CAME WITH HIM OUT OF
CONCERNING GENEALOGIES? AND THERE WERE WARS BETWEEN
EGYPT; THE LUBIMS, THE SUKKIIMS, AND THE ETHIOPIANS. 4 AND
REHOBOAM AND JEROBOAM CONTINUALLY. 16 AND REHOBOAM
HE TOOK THE FENCED CITIES WHICH PERTAINED TO JUDAH, AND
SLEPT WITH HIS FATHERS, AND WAS BURIED IN THE CITY OF DAVID:
CAME TO JERUSALEM. 5 THEN CAME SHEMAIAH THE PROPHET TO
AND ABIJAH HIS SON REIGNED IN HIS STEAD.
REHOBOAM, AND TO THE PRINCES OF JUDAH, THAT WERE
GATHERED TOGETHER TO JERUSALEM BECAUSE OF SHISHAK, AND
SAID UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD, YE HAVE FORSAKEN ME,
AND THEREFORE HAVE I ALSO LEFT YOU IN THE HAND OF SHISHAK.
6 WHEREUPON THE PRINCES OF ISRAEL AND THE KING HUMBLED
THEMSELVES; AND THEY SAID, THE LORD IS RIGHTEOUS. 7 AND
WHEN THE LORD SAW THAT THEY HUMBLED THEMSELVES, THE
WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO SHEMAIAH, SAYING, THEY HAVE
HUMBLED THEMSELVES; THEREFORE I WILL NOT DESTROY THEM,
BUT I WILL GRANT THEM SOME DELIVERANCE; AND MY WRATH
SHALL NOT BE POURED OUT UPON JERUSALEM BY THE HAND OF
SHISHAK. 8 NEVERTHELESS THEY SHALL BE HIS SERVANTS; THAT
THEY MAY KNOW MY SERVICE, AND THE SERVICE OF THE KINGDOMS
OF THE COUNTRIES. 9 SO SHISHAK KING OF EGYPT CAME UP AGAINST
JERUSALEM, AND TOOK AWAY THE TREASURES OF THE HOUSE OF
THE LORD, AND THE TREASURES OF THE KING’S HOUSE; HE TOOK
ALL: HE CARRIED AWAY ALSO THE SHIELDS OF GOLD WHICH
SOLOMON HAD MADE. 10 INSTEAD OF WHICH KING REHOBOAM
MADE SHIELDS OF BRASS, AND COMMITTED THEM TO THE HANDS
OF THE CHIEF OF THE GUARD, THAT KEPT THE ENTRANCE OF THE
KING’S HOUSE. 11 AND WHEN THE KING ENTERED INTO THE HOUSE
OF THE LORD, THE GUARD CAME AND FETCHED THEM, AND
BROUGHT THEM AGAIN INTO THE GUARD CHAMBER. 12 AND WHEN
HE HUMBLED HIMSELF, THE WRATH OF THE LORD TURNED FROM

PROSPER. 13 BUT JEROBOAM CAUSED AN AMBUSHMENT TO COME
HIS MOTHER’S NAME ALSO WAS MICHAIAH THE DAUGHTER OF URIEL
ABOUT BEHIND THEM: SO THEY WERE BEFORE JUDAH, AND THE
OF GIBEAH. AND THERE WAS WAR BETWEEN ABIJAH AND JEROBOAM.
AMBUSHMENT WAS BEHIND THEM. 14 AND WHEN JUDAH LOOKED
3 AND ABIJAH SET THE BATTLE IN ARRAY WITH AN ARMY OF VALIANT
BACK, BEHOLD, THE BATTLE WAS BEFORE AND BEHIND: AND THEY
MEN OF WAR, EVEN FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND CHOSEN MEN:
CRIED UNTO THE LORD, AND THE PRIESTS SOUNDED WITH THE
JEROBOAM ALSO SET THE BATTLE IN ARRAY AGAINST HIM WITH
TRUMPETS. 15 THEN THE MEN OF JUDAH GAVE A SHOUT: AND AS
EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND CHOSEN MEN, BEING MIGHTY MEN OF
THE MEN OF JUDAH SHOUTED, IT CAME TO PASS, THAT GOD SMOTE
VALOUR. 4 AND ABIJAH STOOD UP UPON MOUNT ZEMARAIM, WHICH
JEROBOAM AND ALL ISRAEL BEFORE ABIJAH AND JUDAH. 16 AND
IS IN MOUNT EPHRAIM, AND SAID, HEAR ME, THOU JEROBOAM, AND
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FLED BEFORE JUDAH: AND GOD
ALL ISRAEL; 5 OUGHT YE NOT TO KNOW THAT THE LORD GOD OF
DELIVERED THEM INTO THEIR HAND. 17 AND ABIJAH AND HIS
ISRAEL GAVE THE KINGDOM OVER ISRAEL TO DAVID FOR EVER, EVEN
PEOPLE SLEW THEM WITH A GREAT SLAUGHTER: SO THERE FELL
TO HIM AND TO HIS SONS BY A COVENANT OF SALT? 6 YET

JEROBOAM MADE YOU FOR GODS. 9 HAVE YE NOT CAST OUT THE

THE LORD IS OUR GOD, AND WE HAVE NOT FORSAKEN HIM; AND THE
PRIESTS, WHICH MINISTER UNTO THE LORD, ARE THE SONS OF
AARON, AND THE LEVITES WAIT UPON THEIR BUSINESS: 11 AND
THEY BURN UNTO THE LORD EVERY MORNING AND EVERY EVENING
BURNT SACRIFICES 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

 THE SECOND BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES
THEMSELVES; FOR THEY WERE DESTROYED BEFORE THE LORD, AND
CHAPTER 14 BEFORE HIS HOST; AND THEY CARRIED AWAY VERY MUCH SPOIL. 14
AND THEY SMOTE ALL THE CITIES ROUND ABOUT GERAR; FOR THE

WAS GOOD AND RIGHT IN THE EYES OF THE LORD HIS GOD: 3 FOR
HE TOOK AWAY THE ALTARS OF THE STRANGE GODS, AND THE HIGH
PLACES, AND BRAKE DOWN THE IMAGES, AND CUT DOWN THE
GROVES: 4 AND COMMANDED JUDAH TO SEEK THE LORD GOD OF
THEIR FATHERS, AND TO DO THE LAW AND THE COMMANDMENT. 5
ALSO HE TOOK AWAY OUT OF ALL THE CITIES OF JUDAH THE HIGH
PLACES AND THE IMAGES: AND THE KINGDOM WAS QUIET BEFORE
HIM. 6 AND HE BUILT FENCED CITIES IN JUDAH: FOR THE LAND HAD
REST, AND HE HAD NO WAR IN THOSE YEARS; BECAUSE THE LORD
HAD GIVEN HIM REST. 7 THEREFORE HE SAID UNTO JUDAH, LET US
BUILD THESE CITIES, AND MAKE ABOUT THEM WALLS, AND TOWERS,
GATES, AND BARS, WHILE 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 AND
PROSPERED. 8 AND ASA HAD AN ARMY OF MEN THAT BARE TARGETS
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 OF VALOUR. 9 AND THERE CAME OUT AGAINST THEM ZERAH
THE ETHIOPIAN WITH AN HOST OF A THOUSAND THOUSAND, AND
THREE HUNDRED CHARIOTS; AND CAME UNTO MARESHAH. 10 THEN
ASA WENT OUT AGAINST HIM, AND THEY SET THE BATTLE IN ARRAY
IN THE VALLEY OF ZEPHATHAH AT MARESHAH. 11 AND ASA CRIED
UNTO THE LORD HIS GOD, AND SAID, LORD, IT IS NOTHING WITH
THEE TO HELP, WHETHER WITH MANY, OR WITH THEM THAT HAVE
NO POWER: HELP US, O LORD OUR GOD; FOR WE REST ON THEE,
AND IN THY NAME WE GO AGAINST THIS MULTITUDE. O LORD, THOU
ART OUR GOD; LET NOT MAN PREVAIL AGAINST THEE. 12 SO THE
LORD SMOTE THE ETHIOPIANS BEFORE ASA, AND BEFORE JUDAH;
AND THE ETHIOPIANS FLED. 13 AND ASA AND THE PEOPLE THAT
WERE WITH HIM PURSUED THEM UNTO GERAR: AND THE
ETHIOPIANS WERE OVERTHROWN, THAT THEY COULD NOT RECOVER

 THE SECOND BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES
AND ALL JUDAH REJOICED AT THE OATH: FOR THEY HAD SWORN
CHAPTER 15 WITH ALL THEIR HEART, AND SOUGHT HIM WITH THEIR WHOLE
DESIRE; AND HE WAS FOUND OF THEM: AND THE LORD GAVE THEM
REST ROUND ABOUT. 16 AND ALSO CONCERNING MAACHAH THE
AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD CAME UPON AZARIAH THE SON OF ODED: 2
MOTHER OF ASA THE KING, HE REMOVED HER FROM BEING QUEEN,
AND HE WENT OUT TO MEET ASA, AND SAID UNTO HIM, HEAR YE ME,
BECAUSE SHE HAD MADE AN IDOL IN A GROVE: AND ASA CUT DOWN
ASA, AND ALL JUDAH AND BENJAMIN; THE LORD IS WITH YOU,
HER IDOL, AND STAMPED IT, AND BURNT IT AT THE BROOK KIDRON.
WHILE YE BE WITH HIM; AND IF YE SEEK HIM, HE WILL BE FOUND
17 BUT THE HIGH PLACES WERE NOT TAKEN AWAY OUT OF ISRAEL:
OF YOU; BUT IF YE FORSAKE HIM, HE WILL FORSAKE YOU. 3 NOW
NEVERTHELESS THE HEART OF ASA WAS PERFECT ALL HIS DAYS. 18
FOR A LONG SEASON ISRAEL HATH BEEN WITHOUT THE TRUE GOD,
AND HE BROUGHT INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD THE THINGS THAT HIS
AND WITHOUT A TEACHING PRIEST, AND WITHOUT LAW. 4 BUT
FATHER HAD DEDICATED, AND THAT HE HIMSELF HAD DEDICATED,
WHEN THEY IN THEIR TROUBLE DID TURN UNTO THE LORD GOD OF
SILVER, AND GOLD, AND VESSELS. 19 AND THERE WAS NO MORE
ISRAEL, AND SOUGHT HIM, HE WAS FOUND OF THEM. 5 AND IN
WAR UNTO THE FIVE AND THIRTIETH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF ASA.
THOSE TIMES THERE WAS NO PEACE TO HIM THAT WENT OUT, NOR
TO HIM THAT CAME IN, BUT GREAT VEXATIONS WERE UPON ALL THE
INHABITANTS OF THE COUNTRIES. 6 AND NATION WAS DESTROYED
OF NATION, AND CITY OF CITY: FOR GOD DID VEX THEM WITH ALL
ADVERSITY. 7 BE YE STRONG THEREFORE, AND LET NOT YOUR
HANDS BE WEAK: FOR YOUR WORK SHALL BE REWARDED. 8 AND
WHEN ASA HEARD THESE WORDS, AND THE PROPHECY OF ODED THE
PROPHET, HE TOOK COURAGE, AND PUT AWAY THE ABOMINABLE
IDOLS OUT OF ALL THE LAND OF JUDAH AND BENJAMIN, AND OUT
OF THE CITIES WHICH HE HAD TAKEN FROM MOUNT EPHRAIM, AND
RENEWED THE ALTAR OF THE LORD, THAT WAS BEFORE THE PORCH
OF THE LORD. 9 AND HE GATHERED ALL JUDAH AND BENJAMIN, AND
THE STRANGERS WITH THEM OUT OF EPHRAIM AND MANASSEH,
AND OUT OF SIMEON: FOR THEY FELL TO HIM OUT OF ISRAEL IN
ABUNDANCE, WHEN THEY SAW THAT THE LORD HIS GOD WAS WITH
HIM. 10 SO THEY GATHERED THEMSELVES TOGETHER AT JERUSALEM
IN THE THIRD MONTH, IN THE FIFTEENTH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF
ASA. 11 AND THEY OFFERED UNTO THE LORD THE SAME TIME, OF
THE SPOIL WHICH THEY HAD BROUGHT, SEVEN HUNDRED OXEN
AND SEVEN THOUSAND SHEEP. 12 AND THEY ENTERED INTO A
COVENANT TO SEEK THE LORD GOD OF THEIR FATHERS WITH ALL
THEIR HEART AND WITH ALL THEIR SOUL; 13 THAT WHOSOEVER
WOULD NOT SEEK THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL SHOULD BE PUT TO
DEATH, WHETHER SMALL OR GREAT, WHETHER MAN OR WOMAN.
14 AND THEY SWARE UNTO THE LORD WITH A LOUD VOICE, AND
WITH SHOUTING, AND WITH TRUMPETS, AND WITH CORNETS. 15
601
 THE SECOND BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES
NINTH YEAR OF HIS REIGN WAS DISEASED IN HIS FEET, UNTIL HIS
CHAPTER 16 DISEASE WAS EXCEEDING GREAT: YET IN HIS DISEASE HE SOUGHT
NOT TO THE LORD, BUT TO THE PHYSICIANS. 13 AND ASA SLEPT WITH
HIS FATHERS, AND DIED IN THE ONE AND FORTIETH YEAR OF HIS
IN THE SIX AND THIRTIETH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF ASA BAASHA KING
REIGN. 14 AND THEY BURIED HIM IN HIS OWN SEPULCHRES, WHICH
OF ISRAEL CAME UP AGAINST JUDAH, AND BUILT RAMAH, TO THE
HE HAD MADE FOR HIMSELF IN THE CITY OF DAVID, AND LAID HIM
INTENT THAT HE MIGHT LET NONE GO OUT OR COME IN TO ASA KING
IN THE BED WHICH WAS FILLED WITH SWEET ODOURS AND DIVERS
OF JUDAH. 2 THEN ASA BROUGHT OUT SILVER AND GOLD OUT OF
KINDS OF SPICES PREPARED BY THE APOTHECARIES’ ART: AND THEY
THE TREASURES OF THE HOUSE OF THE LORD AND OF THE KING’S
MADE A VERY GREAT BURNING FOR HIM.
HOUSE, AND SENT TO BENHADAD KING OF SYRIA, THAT DWELT AT
DAMASCUS, SAYING, 3 THERE IS A LEAGUE BETWEEN ME AND THEE,
AS THERE WAS BETWEEN MY FATHER AND THY FATHER: BEHOLD, I
HAVE SENT THEE SILVER AND GOLD; GO, BREAK THY LEAGUE WITH
BAASHA KING OF ISRAEL, THAT HE MAY DEPART FROM ME. 4 AND
BEN-HADAD HEARKENED UNTO KING ASA, AND SENT THE CAPTAINS
OF HIS ARMIES AGAINST THE CITIES OF ISRAEL; AND THEY SMOTE
IJON, AND DAN, AND ABEL-MAIM, AND ALL THE STORE CITIES OF
NAPHTALI. 5 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN BAASHA HEARD IT, THAT
HE LEFT OFF BUILDING OF RAMAH, AND LET HIS WORK CEASE. 6
THEN ASA THE KING TOOK ALL JUDAH; AND THEY CARRIED AWAY
THE STONES OF RAMAH, AND THE TIMBER THEREOF, WHEREWITH
BAASHA WAS BUILDING; AND HE BUILT THEREWITH GEBA AND
MIZPAH. 7 AND AT THAT TIME HANANI THE SEER CAME TO ASA KING
OF JUDAH, AND SAID UNTO HIM, BECAUSE THOU HAST RELIED ON
THE KING OF SYRIA, AND NOT RELIED ON THE LORD THY GOD,
THEREFORE IS THE HOST OF THE KING OF SYRIA ESCAPED OUT OF
THINE HAND. 8 WERE NOT THE ETHIOPIANS AND THE LUBIMS A
HUGE HOST, WITH VERY MANY CHARIOTS AND HORSEMEN? YET,
BECAUSE THOU DIDST RELY ON THE LORD, HE DELIVERED THEM
INTO THINE HAND. 9 FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD RUN TO AND FRO
THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH, TO SHEW HIMSELF STRONG IN
THE BEHALF OF THEM WHOSE HEART IS PERFECT TOWARD HIM.
HEREIN THOU HAST DONE FOOLISHLY: THEREFORE FROM
HENCEFORTH THOU SHALT HAVE WARS. 10 THEN ASA WAS WROTH
WITH THE SEER, AND PUT HIM IN A PRISON HOUSE; FOR HE WAS IN
A RAGE WITH HIM BECAUSE OF THIS THING. AND ASA OPPRESSED
SOME OF THE PEOPLE THE SAME TIME. 11 AND, BEHOLD, THE ACTS
OF ASA, FIRST AND LAST, LO, THEY ARE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF
THE KINGS OF JUDAH AND ISRAEL. 12 AND ASA IN THE THIRTY AND

HIM TWO HUNDRED AND FOURSCORE THOUSAND. 16 AND NEXT HIM
AND JEHOSHAPHAT HIS SON REIGNED IN HIS STEAD, AND
WAS AMASIAH THE SON OF ZICHRI, WHO WILLINGLY OFFERED
STRENGTHENED HIMSELF AGAINST ISRAEL. 2 AND HE PLACED
HIMSELF UNTO THE LORD; AND WITH HIM TWO HUNDRED
FORCES IN ALL THE FENCED CITIES OF JUDAH, AND SET GARRISONS
THOUSAND MIGHTY MEN OF VALOUR. 17 AND OF BENJAMIN; ELIADA
IN THE LAND OF JUDAH, AND IN THE CITIES OF EPHRAIM, WHICH
A MIGHTY MAN OF VALOUR, AND WITH HIM ARMED MEN WITH BOW
ASA HIS FATHER HAD TAKEN. 3 AND THE LORD WAS WITH
AND SHIELD TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND. 18 AND NEXT HIM WAS
JEHOSHAPHAT, BECAUSE HE WALKED IN THE FIRST WAYS OF HIS
JEHOZABAD, AND WITH HIM AN HUNDRED AND FOURSCORE
FATHER DAVID, AND SOUGHT NOT UNTO BAALIM; 4 BUT SOUGHT TO
THOUSAND READY PREPARED FOR THE WAR. 19 THESE WAITED ON
THE LORD GOD OF HIS FATHER, AND WALKED IN HIS

COMMANDMENTS, AND NOT AFTER THE DOINGS OF ISRAEL. 5
CITIES THROUGHOUT ALL JUDAH.
THEREFORE THE LORD STABLISHED THE KINGDOM IN HIS HAND;
AND ALL JUDAH BROUGHT TO JEHOSHAPHAT PRESENTS; AND HE
HAD RICHES AND HONOUR IN ABUNDANCE. 6 AND HIS HEART WAS
LIFTED UP IN THE WAYS OF THE LORD: MOREOVER HE TOOK AWAY
THE HIGH PLACES AND GROVES OUT OF JUDAH. 7 ALSO IN THE THIRD
YEAR OF HIS REIGN HE SENT TO HIS PRINCES, EVEN TO BEN-HAIL,
AND TO OBADIAH, AND TO ZECHARIAH, AND TO NETHANEEL, AND
TO MICHAIAH, TO TEACH IN THE CITIES OF JUDAH. 8 AND WITH
THEM HE SENT LEVITES, EVEN SHEMAIAH, AND NETHANIAH, AND
ZEBADIAH, AND ASAHEL, AND SHEMIRAMOTH, AND JEHONATHAN,
AND ADONIJAH, AND TOBIJAH, AND TOB-ADONIJAH, LEVITES; AND
WITH THEM ELISHAMA AND JEHORAM, PRIESTS. 9 AND THEY
TAUGHT IN JUDAH, AND HAD THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF THE LORD
WITH THEM, AND WENT ABOUT THROUGHOUT ALL THE CITIES OF
JUDAH, AND TAUGHT THE PEOPLE. 10 AND THE FEAR OF THE LORD
FELL UPON ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE LANDS THAT WERE ROUND
ABOUT JUDAH, SO THAT THEY MADE NO WAR AGAINST
JEHOSHAPHAT. 11 ALSO SOME OF THE PHILISTINES BROUGHT
JEHOSHAPHAT PRESENTS, AND TRIBUTE SILVER; AND THE ARABIANS
BROUGHT HIM FLOCKS, SEVEN THOUSAND AND SEVEN HUNDRED
RAMS, AND SEVEN THOUSAND AND SEVEN HUNDRED HE GOATS. 12
AND JEHOSHAPHAT WAXED GREAT EXCEEDINGLY; AND HE BUILT IN
JUDAH CASTLES, AND CITIES OF STORE. 13 AND HE HAD MUCH
BUSINESS IN THE CITIES OF JUDAH: AND THE MEN OF WAR, MIGHTY
MEN OF VALOUR, WERE IN JERUSALEM. 14 AND THESE ARE THE
NUMBERS OF THEM ACCORDING TO THE HOUSE OF THEIR FATHERS:

THEIRS, AND SPEAK THOU GOOD. 13 AND MICAIAH SAID, AS THE
CHAPTER 18 LORD LIVETH, EVEN WHAT MY GOD SAITH, THAT WILL I SPEAK. 14
AND WHEN HE WAS COME TO THE KING, THE KING SAID UNTO HIM,
MICAIAH, SHALL WE GO TO RAMOTH-GILEAD TO BATTLE, OR SHALL
NOW JEHOSHAPHAT HAD RICHES AND HONOUR IN ABUNDANCE,
I FORBEAR? AND HE SAID, GO YE UP, AND PROSPER, AND THEY
AND JOINED AFFINITY WITH AHAB. 2 AND AFTER CERTAIN YEARS HE
SHALL BE DELIVERED INTO YOUR HAND. 15 AND THE KING SAID TO
WENT DOWN TO AHAB TO SAMARIA. AND AHAB KILLED SHEEP AND
HIM, HOW MANY TIMES SHALL I ADJURE THEE THAT THOU SAY
OXEN FOR HIM IN ABUNDANCE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HE HAD
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH TO ME IN THE NAME OF THE LORD? 16
WITH HIM, AND PERSUADED HIM TO GO UP WITH HIM TO RAMOTH-
THEN HE SAID, I DID SEE ALL ISRAEL SCATTERED UPON THE
GILEAD. 3 AND AHAB KING OF ISRAEL SAID UNTO JEHOSHAPHAT
MOUNTAINS, AS SHEEP THAT HAVE NO SHEPHERD: AND THE LORD
KING OF JUDAH, WILT THOU GO WITH ME TO RAMOTH-GILEAD? AND
SAID, THESE HAVE NO MASTER; LET THEM RETURN THEREFORE
HE ANSWERED HIM, I AM AS THOU ART, AND MY PEOPLE AS THY
EVERY MAN TO HIS HOUSE IN PEACE. 17 AND THE KING OF ISRAEL
PEOPLE; AND WE WILL BE WITH THEE IN THE WAR. 4 AND
SAID TO JEHOSHAPHAT, DID I NOT TELL THEE THAT HE WOULD NOT
JEHOSHAPHAT SAID UNTO THE KING OF ISRAEL, INQUIRE, I PRAY
PROPHESY GOOD UNTO ME, BUT EVIL? 18 AGAIN HE SAID,
THEE, AT THE WORD OF THE LORD TO DAY. 5 THEREFORE THE KING
THEREFORE HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD; I SAW THE LORD SITTING
OF ISRAEL GATHERED TOGETHER OF PROPHETS FOUR HUNDRED
UPON HIS THRONE, AND ALL THE HOST OF HEAVEN STANDING ON
MEN, AND SAID UNTO THEM, SHALL WE GO TO RAMOTH-GILEAD TO
HIS RIGHT HAND AND ON HIS LEFT. 19 AND THE LORD SAID, WHO
BATTLE, OR SHALL I FORBEAR? AND THEY SAID, GO UP; FOR GOD
SHALL ENTICE AHAB KING OF ISRAEL, THAT HE MAY GO UP AND FALL
WILL DELIVER IT INTO THE KING’S HAND. 6 BUT JEHOSHAPHAT SAID,
AT RAMOTH-GILEAD? AND ONE SPAKE SAYING AFTER THIS MANNER,
IS THERE NOT HERE A PROPHET OF THE LORD BESIDES, THAT WE
AND ANOTHER SAYING AFTER THAT MANNER. 20 THEN THERE CAME
MIGHT INQUIRE OF HIM? 7 AND THE KING OF ISRAEL SAID UNTO
OUT A SPIRIT, AND STOOD BEFORE THE LORD, AND SAID, I WILL
JEHOSHAPHAT, THERE IS YET ONE MAN, BY WHOM WE MAY INQUIRE
ENTICE HIM. AND THE LORD SAID UNTO HIM, WHEREWITH? 21 AND
OF THE LORD: BUT I HATE HIM; FOR HE NEVER PROPHESIED GOOD
HE SAID, I WILL GO OUT, AND BE A LYING SPIRIT IN THE MOUTH OF
UNTO ME, BUT ALWAYS EVIL: THE SAME IS MICAIAH THE SON OF
ALL HIS PROPHETS. AND THE LORD SAID, THOU SHALT ENTICE HIM,
IMLA. AND JEHOSHAPHAT SAID, LET NOT THE KING SAY SO. 8 AND
AND THOU SHALT ALSO PREVAIL: GO OUT, AND DO EVEN SO. 22 NOW
THE KING OF ISRAEL CALLED FOR ONE OF HIS OFFICERS, AND SAID,
THEREFORE, BEHOLD, THE LORD HATH PUT A LYING SPIRIT IN THE
FETCH QUICKLY MICAIAH THE SON OF IMLA. 9 AND THE KING OF
MOUTH OF THESE THY PROPHETS, AND THE LORD HATH SPOKEN
ISRAEL AND JEHOSHAPHAT KING OF JUDAH SAT EITHER OF THEM ON
EVIL AGAINST THEE. 23 THEN ZEDEKIAH THE SON OF CHENAANAH
HIS THRONE, CLOTHED IN THEIR ROBES, AND THEY SAT IN A VOID
CAME NEAR, AND SMOTE MICAIAH UPON THE CHEEK, AND SAID,
PLACE AT THE ENTERING IN OF THE GATE OF SAMARIA; AND ALL THE
WHICH WAY WENT THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD FROM ME TO SPEAK
PROPHETS PROPHESIED BEFORE THEM. 10 AND ZEDEKIAH THE SON
UNTO THEE? 24 AND MICAIAH SAID, BEHOLD, THOU SHALT SEE ON
OF CHENAANAH HAD MADE HIM HORNS OF IRON, AND SAID, THUS
THAT DAY WHEN THOU SHALT GO INTO AN INNER CHAMBER TO HIDE
SAITH THE LORD, WITH THESE THOU SHALT PUSH SYRIA UNTIL THEY
THYSELF. 25 THEN THE KING OF ISRAEL SAID, TAKE YE MICAIAH, AND
BE CONSUMED. 11 AND ALL THE PROPHETS PROPHESIED SO, SAYING,
CARRY HIM BACK TO AMON THE GOVERNOR OF THE CITY, AND TO
GO UP TO RAMOTH-GILEAD, AND PROSPER: FOR THE LORD SHALL
JOASH THE KING’S SON; 26 AND SAY, THUS SAITH THE KING, PUT
DELIVER IT INTO THE HAND OF THE KING. 12 AND THE MESSENGER
THIS FELLOW IN THE PRISON, AND FEED HIM WITH BREAD OF
THAT WENT TO CALL MICAIAH SPAKE TO HIM, SAYING, BEHOLD, THE
AFFLICTION AND WITH WATER OF AFFLICTION, UNTIL I RETURN IN
WORDS OF THE PROPHETS DECLARE GOOD TO THE KING WITH ONE
PEACE. 27 AND MICAIAH SAID, IF THOU CERTAINLY RETURN IN
ASSENT; LET THY WORD THEREFORE, I PRAY THEE, BE LIKE ONE OF
604
 THE SECOND BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES
PEACE, THEN HATH NOT THE LORD SPOKEN BY ME. AND HE SAID,
HEARKEN, ALL YE PEOPLE. 28 SO THE KING OF ISRAEL AND
JEHOSHAPHAT THE KING OF JUDAH WENT UP TO RAMOTHGILEAD.
29 AND THE KING OF ISRAEL SAID UNTO JEHOSHAPHAT, I WILL
DISGUISE MYSELF, AND WILL GO TO THE BATTLE; BUT PUT THOU ON
THY ROBES. SO THE KING OF ISRAEL DISGUISED HIMSELF; AND THEY
WENT TO THE BATTLE. 30 NOW THE KING OF SYRIA HAD
COMMANDED THE CAPTAINS OF THE CHARIOTS THAT WERE WITH
HIM, SAYING, FIGHT YE NOT WITH SMALL OR GREAT, SAVE ONLY
WITH THE KING OF ISRAEL. 31 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE
CAPTAINS OF THE CHARIOTS SAW JEHOSHAPHAT, THAT THEY SAID,
IT IS THE KING OF ISRAEL. THEREFORE THEY COMPASSED ABOUT HIM
TO FIGHT: BUT JEHOSHAPHAT CRIED OUT, AND THE LORD HELPED
HIM; AND GOD MOVED THEM TO DEPART FROM HIM. 32 FOR IT CAME
TO PASS, THAT, WHEN THE CAPTAINS OF THE CHARIOTS PERCEIVED
THAT IT WAS NOT THE KING OF ISRAEL, THEY TURNED BACK AGAIN
FROM PURSUING HIM. 33 AND A CERTAIN MAN DREW A BOW AT A
VENTURE, AND SMOTE THE KING OF ISRAEL BETWEEN THE JOINTS
OF THE HARNESS: THEREFORE HE SAID TO HIS CHARIOT MAN, TURN
THINE HAND, THAT THOU MAYEST CARRY ME OUT OF THE HOST; FOR
I AM WOUNDED. 34 AND THE BATTLE INCREASED 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 SUN GOING DOWN HE DIED.

CHAPTER 19
AND JEHOSHAPHAT THE KING OF JUDAH RETURNED TO HIS HOUSE
IN PEACE TO JERUSALEM. 2 AND JEHU THE SON OF HANANI THE
SEER WENT OUT TO MEET HIM, AND SAID TO KING JEHOSHAPHAT,
SHOULDEST THOU HELP THE UNGODLY, AND LOVE THEM THAT HATE
THE LORD? THEREFORE IS WRATH UPON THEE FROM BEFORE THE
LORD. 3 NEVERTHELESS THERE ARE GOOD THINGS FOUND IN THEE,
IN THAT THOU HAST TAKEN AWAY THE GROVES OUT OF THE LAND,
AND HAST PREPARED THINE HEART TO SEEK GOD. 4 AND
JEHOSHAPHAT DWELT AT JERUSALEM: AND HE WENT OUT AGAIN
THROUGH THE PEOPLE FROM BEER-SHEBA TO MOUNT EPHRAIM,
AND BROUGHT THEM BACK UNTO THE LORD GOD OF THEIR FATHERS.
5 AND HE SET JUDGES IN THE LAND THROUGHOUT ALL THE FENCED
CITIES OF JUDAH, CITY BY CITY, 6 AND SAID TO THE JUDGES, TAKE
HEED WHAT YE DO: FOR YE JUDGE NOT FOR MAN, BUT FOR THE LORD,
WHO IS WITH YOU IN THE JUDGMENT. 7 WHEREFORE NOW LET THE
FEAR OF THE 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
JEHOSHAPHAT SET OF THE LEVITES, AND OF THE PRIESTS, AND OF
THE CHIEF OF THE FATHERS OF ISRAEL, FOR THE JUDGMENT OF THE
LORD, AND FOR CONTROVERSIES, WHEN THEY RETURNED TO
JERUSALEM. 9 AND HE CHARGED THEM, SAYING, THUS SHALL YE DO
IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD, FAITHFULLY, AND WITH A PERFECT
HEART. 10 AND WHAT CAUSE SOEVER SHALL COME TO YOU OF YOUR
BRETHREN THAT DWELL IN THEIR CITIES, BETWEEN BLOOD AND
BLOOD, BETWEEN LAW AND COMMANDMENT, STATUTES AND
JUDGMENTS, YE SHALL EVEN WARN THEM THAT THEY TRESPASS
NOT AGAINST THE LORD, AND SO WRATH COME UPON YOU, AND
UPON YOUR BRETHREN: THIS DO, AND YE SHALL NOT TRESPASS. 11
AND, BEHOLD, AMARIAH 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, FOR ALL THE KING’S MATTERS:
ALSO THE LEVITES SHALL BE OFFICERS BEFORE YOU. DEAL

CHILDREN. 14 THEN UPON JAHAZIEL THE SON OF ZECHARIAH, THE
CHAPTER 20 SON OF BENAIAH, THE SON OF JEIEL, THE SON OF MATTANIAH, A
LEVITE OF THE SONS OF ASAPH, CAME THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IN
THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION; 15 AND HE SAID, HEARKEN YE,
IT CAME TO PASS AFTER THIS ALSO, THAT THE CHILDREN OF MOAB,
ALL JUDAH, AND YE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM, AND THOU KING
AND THE CHILDREN OF AMMON, AND WITH THEM OTHER BESIDE
JEHOSHAPHAT, THUS SAITH THE LORD UNTO YOU, BE NOT AFRAID
THE AMMONITES, CAME AGAINST JEHOSHAPHAT TO BATTLE. 2 THEN
NOR DISMAYED BY REASON OF THIS GREAT MULTITUDE; FOR THE
THERE CAME SOME THAT TOLD JEHOSHAPHAT, SAYING, THERE
BATTLE IS NOT YOURS, BUT GOD’S. 16 TO MORROW GO YE DOWN
COMETH A GREAT MULTITUDE AGAINST THEE FROM BEYOND THE
AGAINST THEM: BEHOLD, THEY COME UP BY THE CLIFF OF ZIZ; AND
SEA ON THIS SIDE SYRIA; AND, BEHOLD, THEY BE IN HAZAZON-
YE SHALL FIND THEM AT THE END OF THE BROOK, BEFORE THE
TAMAR, WHICH IS EN-GEDI. 3 AND JEHOSHAPHAT FEARED, AND SET
WILDERNESS OF JERUEL. 17 YE SHALL NOT NEED TO FIGHT IN THIS
HIMSELF TO SEEK THE LORD, AND PROCLAIMED A FAST
BATTLE: SET YOURSELVES, STAND YE STILL, AND SEE THE SALVATION
THROUGHOUT ALL JUDAH. 4 AND JUDAH GATHERED THEMSELVES
OF THE LORD WITH YOU, O JUDAH AND JERUSALEM: FEAR NOT, NOR
TOGETHER, TO ASK HELP OF THE LORD: EVEN OUT OF ALL THE CITIES
BE DISMAYED; TO MORROW GO OUT AGAINST THEM: FOR THE LORD
OF JUDAH THEY CAME TO SEEK THE LORD. 5 AND JEHOSHAPHAT
WILL BE WITH YOU. 18 AND JEHOSHAPHAT BOWED HIS HEAD WITH
STOOD IN THE CONGREGATION OF JUDAH AND JERUSALEM, IN THE
HIS FACE TO THE GROUND: AND ALL JUDAH AND THE INHABITANTS
HOUSE OF THE LORD, BEFORE THE NEW COURT, 6 AND SAID, O LORD
OF JERUSALEM FELL BEFORE THE LORD, WORSHIPPING THE LORD.
GOD OF OUR FATHERS, ART NOT THOU GOD IN HEAVEN? AND RULEST
19 AND THE LEVITES, OF THE CHILDREN OF THE KOHATHITES, AND
NOT THOU OVER ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE HEATHEN? AND IN
OF THE CHILDREN OF THE KORHITES, STOOD UP TO PRAISE THE
THINE HAND IS THERE NOT POWER AND MIGHT, SO THAT NONE IS
LORD GOD OF ISRAEL WITH A LOUD VOICE ON HIGH. 20 AND THEY
ABLE TO WITHSTAND THEE? 7 ART NOT THOU OUR GOD, WHO DIDST
ROSE EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND WENT FORTH INTO THE
DRIVE OUT THE INHABITANTS OF THIS LAND BEFORE THY PEOPLE

ISRAEL, AND GAVEST IT TO THE SEED OF ABRAHAM THY FRIEND FOR
STOOD AND SAID, HEAR ME, O JUDAH, AND YE INHABITANTS OF

JERUSALEM; BELIEVE IN THE LORD YOUR GOD, SO SHALL YE BE
SANCTUARY THEREIN FOR THY NAME, SAYING, 9 IF, WHEN EVIL
ESTABLISHED; BELIEVE HIS PROPHETS, SO SHALL YE PROSPER. 21
COMETH UPON US, AS THE SWORD, JUDGMENT, OR PESTILENCE, OR
AND WHEN HE HAD CONSULTED WITH THE PEOPLE, HE APPOINTED
FAMINE, WE STAND BEFORE THIS HOUSE, AND IN THY PRESENCE,
SINGERS UNTO THE LORD, AND THAT SHOULD PRAISE THE BEAUTY
(FOR THY NAME IS IN THIS HOUSE,) AND CRY UNTO THEE IN OUR
OF HOLINESS, AS THEY WENT OUT BEFORE THE ARMY, AND TO SAY,
AFFLICTION, THEN THOU WILT HEAR AND HELP. 10 AND NOW,
PRAISE THE LORD; FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER. 22 AND
BEHOLD, THE CHILDREN OF AMMON AND MOAB AND MOUNT SEIR,
WHEN THEY BEGAN TO SING AND TO PRAISE, THE LORD SET
WHOM THOU WOULDEST NOT LET ISRAEL INVADE, WHEN THEY

CAME OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, BUT THEY TURNED FROM THEM,
MOUNT SEIR, WHICH WERE COME AGAINST JUDAH; AND THEY WERE
AND DESTROYED THEM NOT; 11 BEHOLD, I SAY, HOW THEY REWARD
SMITTEN. 23 FOR THE CHILDREN OF AMMON AND MOAB STOOD UP
US, TO COME TO CAST US OUT OF THY POSSESSION, WHICH THOU

INHABITANTS OF SEIR, EVERY ONE HELPED TO DESTROY ANOTHER.
THAT COMETH AGAINST US; NEITHER KNOW WE WHAT TO DO: BUT
24 AND WHEN JUDAH CAME TOWARD THE WATCH TOWER IN THE
OUR EYES ARE UPON THEE. 13 AND ALL JUDAH STOOD BEFORE THE
WILDERNESS, THEY LOOKED UNTO THE MULTITUDE, AND, BEHOLD,
LORD, WITH THEIR LITTLE ONES, THEIR WIVES, AND THEIR
607
 THE SECOND BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES
THEY WERE DEAD BODIES FALLEN TO THE EARTH, AND NONE LORD HATH BROKEN THY WORKS. AND THE SHIPS WERE BROKEN,
ESCAPED. 25 AND WHEN JEHOSHAPHAT AND HIS PEOPLE CAME TO THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO GO TO TARSHISH.
TAKE AWAY THE SPOIL OF THEM, THEY FOUND AMONG THEM IN
ABUNDANCE BOTH RICHES WITH THE DEAD BODIES, AND PRECIOUS
JEWELS, WHICH THEY STRIPPED OFF FOR THEMSELVES, MORE THAN
THEY COULD CARRY AWAY: AND THEY WERE THREE DAYS IN
GATHERING OF THE SPOIL, IT WAS SO MUCH. 26 AND ON THE
FOURTH DAY THEY ASSEMBLED THEMSELVES IN THE VALLEY OF
BERACHAH; FOR THERE THEY BLESSED THE LORD: THEREFORE THE
NAME OF THE SAME PLACE WAS CALLED, THE VALLEY OF BERACHAH,
UNTO THIS DAY. 27 THEN THEY RETURNED, EVERY MAN OF JUDAH
AND JERUSALEM, AND JEHOSHAPHAT IN THE FOREFRONT OF THEM,
TO GO AGAIN TO JERUSALEM WITH JOY; FOR THE LORD HAD MADE
THEM TO REJOICE OVER THEIR ENEMIES. 28 AND THEY CAME TO
JERUSALEM WITH PSALTERIES AND HARPS AND TRUMPETS UNTO
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. 29 AND THE FEAR OF GOD WAS ON ALL
THE KINGDOMS OF THOSE COUNTRIES, WHEN THEY HAD HEARD
THAT THE LORD FOUGHT AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL. 30 SO
THE REALM OF JEHOSHAPHAT WAS QUIET: FOR HIS GOD GAVE HIM
REST ROUND ABOUT. 31 AND JEHOSHAPHAT REIGNED OVER JUDAH:
HE WAS THIRTY AND FIVE YEARS OLD WHEN HE BEGAN TO REIGN,
AND HE REIGNED TWENTY AND FIVE YEARS IN JERUSALEM. AND HIS
MOTHER’S NAME WAS AZUBAH THE DAUGHTER OF SHILHI. 32 AND
HE WALKED IN THE WAY OF ASA HIS FATHER, AND DEPARTED NOT
FROM IT, DOING THAT WHICH WAS RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF THE
LORD. 33 HOWBEIT THE HIGH PLACES WERE NOT TAKEN AWAY: FOR
AS YET THE PEOPLE HAD NOT PREPARED THEIR HEARTS UNTO THE
GOD OF THEIR FATHERS. 34 NOW THE REST OF THE ACTS OF
JEHOSHAPHAT, FIRST AND LAST, BEHOLD, THEY ARE WRITTEN IN
THE BOOK OF JEHU THE SON OF HANANI, WHO IS MENTIONED IN
THE BOOK OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL. 35 AND AFTER THIS DID
JEHOSHAPHAT KING OF JUDAH JOIN HIMSELF WITH AHAZIAH KING
OF ISRAEL, WHO DID VERY WICKEDLY: 36 AND HE JOINED HIMSELF
WITH HIM TO MAKE SHIPS TO GO TO TARSHISH: AND THEY MADE
THE SHIPS IN EZION-GEBER. 37 THEN ELIEZER THE SON OF
DODAVAH OF MARESHAH PROPHESIED AGAINST JEHOSHAPHAT,
SAYING, BECAUSE THOU HAST JOINED THYSELF WITH AHAZIAH, THE

608
 THE SECOND BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES
WAY OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL, AND HAST MADE JUDAH AND THE
CHAPTER 21 INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM TO GO A WHORING, LIKE TO THE
WHOREDOMS OF THE HOUSE OF AHAB, AND ALSO HAST SLAIN THY
BRETHREN OF THY FATHER’S HOUSE, WHICH WERE BETTER THAN
NOW JEHOSHAPHAT SLEPT WITH HIS FATHERS, AND WAS BURIED
THYSELF: 14 BEHOLD, WITH A GREAT PLAGUE WILL THE LORD SMITE
WITH HIS FATHERS IN THE CITY OF DAVID. AND JEHORAM HIS SON
THY PEOPLE, AND THY CHILDREN, AND THY WIVES, AND ALL THY
REIGNED IN HIS STEAD. 2 AND HE HAD BRETHREN THE SONS OF
GOODS: 15 AND THOU SHALT HAVE GREAT SICKNESS BY DISEASE OF
JEHOSHAPHAT, AZARIAH, AND JEHIEL, AND ZECHARIAH, AND
THY BOWELS, UNTIL THY BOWELS FALL OUT BY REASON OF THE
AZARIAH, AND MICHAEL, AND SHEPHATIAH: ALL THESE WERE THE
SICKNESS DAY BY DAY. 16 MOREOVER THE LORD STIRRED UP
SONS OF JEHOSHAPHAT KING OF ISRAEL. 3 AND THEIR FATHER GAVE
AGAINST JEHORAM THE SPIRIT OF THE PHILISTINES, AND OF THE
THEM GREAT GIFTS OF SILVER, AND OF GOLD, AND OF PRECIOUS
ARABIANS, THAT WERE NEAR THE ETHIOPIANS: 17 AND THEY CAME
THINGS, WITH FENCED CITIES IN JUDAH: BUT THE KINGDOM GAVE
UP INTO JUDAH, AND BRAKE INTO IT, AND CARRIED AWAY ALL THE
HE TO JEHORAM; BECAUSE HE WAS THE FIRSTBORN. 4 NOW WHEN
SUBSTANCE THAT WAS FOUND IN THE KING’S HOUSE, AND HIS SONS
JEHORAM WAS RISEN UP TO THE KINGDOM OF HIS FATHER, HE
ALSO, AND HIS WIVES; SO THAT THERE WAS NEVER A SON LEFT HIM,
STRENGTHENED HIMSELF, AND SLEW ALL HIS BRETHREN WITH THE
SAVE JEHOAHAZ, THE YOUNGEST OF HIS SONS. 18 AND AFTER ALL
SWORD, AND DIVERS ALSO OF THE PRINCES OF ISRAEL. 5 JEHORAM
THIS THE LORD SMOTE HIM IN HIS BOWELS WITH AN INCURABLE
WAS THIRTY AND TWO YEARS OLD WHEN HE BEGAN TO REIGN, AND
DISEASE. 19 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT IN PROCESS OF TIME,
HE REIGNED EIGHT YEARS IN JERUSALEM. 6 AND HE WALKED IN THE
AFTER THE END OF TWO YEARS, HIS BOWELS FELL OUT BY REASON
WAY OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL, LIKE AS DID THE HOUSE OF AHAB:
OF HIS SICKNESS: SO HE DIED OF SORE DISEASES. AND HIS PEOPLE
FOR HE HAD THE DAUGHTER OF AHAB TO WIFE: AND HE WROUGHT
MADE NO BURNING FOR HIM, LIKE THE BURNING OF HIS FATHERS.
THAT WHICH WAS EVIL IN THE EYES OF THE LORD. 7 HOWBEIT THE
20 THIRTY AND TWO YEARS OLD WAS HE WHEN HE BEGAN TO REIGN,
LORD WOULD NOT DESTROY THE HOUSE OF DAVID, BECAUSE OF THE
AND HE REIGNED IN JERUSALEM EIGHT YEARS, AND DEPARTED
COVENANT THAT HE HAD MADE WITH DAVID, AND AS HE PROMISED
WITHOUT BEING DESIRED. HOWBEIT THEY BURIED HIM IN THE CITY
TO GIVE A LIGHT TO HIM AND TO HIS SONS FOR EVER. 8 IN HIS DAYS
OF DAVID, BUT NOT IN THE SEPULCHRES OF THE KINGS.
THE EDOMITES REVOLTED FROM UNDER THE DOMINION OF JUDAH,
AND MADE THEMSELVES A KING. 9 THEN JEHORAM WENT FORTH
WITH HIS PRINCES, AND ALL HIS CHARIOTS WITH HIM: AND HE ROSE
UP BY NIGHT, AND SMOTE THE EDOMITES WHICH COMPASSED HIM
IN, AND THE CAPTAINS OF THE CHARIOTS. 10 SO THE EDOMITES
REVOLTED FROM UNDER THE HAND OF JUDAH UNTO THIS DAY. THE
SAME TIME ALSO DID LIBNAH REVOLT FROM UNDER HIS HAND;
BECAUSE HE HAD FORSAKEN THE LORD GOD OF HIS FATHERS. 11
MOREOVER HE MADE HIGH PLACES IN THE MOUNTAINS OF JUDAH,
AND CAUSED THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM TO COMMIT
FORNICATION, AND COMPELLED JUDAH THERETO. 12 AND THERE
CAME A WRITING TO HIM FROM ELIJAH THE PROPHET, SAYING, THUS
SAITH THE LORD GOD OF DAVID THY FATHER, BECAUSE THOU HAST
NOT WALKED IN THE WAYS OF JEHOSHAPHAT THY FATHER, NOR IN
THE WAYS OF ASA KING OF JUDAH, 13 BUT HAST WALKED IN THE
609
 THE SECOND BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES
SON OF AHAZIAH, AND STOLE HIM FROM AMONG THE KING’S SONS
CHAPTER 22 THAT WERE SLAIN, AND PUT HIM AND HIS NURSE IN A BEDCHAMBER.
SO JEHOSHABEATH, THE DAUGHTER OF KING JEHORAM, THE WIFE
OF JEHOIADA THE PRIEST, (FOR SHE WAS THE SISTER OF AHAZIAH,)
AND THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM MADE AHAZIAH HIS
HID HIM FROM ATHALIAH, SO THAT SHE SLEW HIM NOT. 12 AND HE
YOUNGEST SON KING IN HIS STEAD: FOR THE BAND OF MEN THAT
WAS WITH THEM HID IN THE HOUSE OF GOD SIX YEARS: AND
CAME WITH THE ARABIANS TO THE CAMP HAD SLAIN ALL THE
ATHALIAH REIGNED OVER THE LAND.
ELDEST. SO AHAZIAH THE SON OF JEHORAM KING OF JUDAH
REIGNED. 2 FORTY AND TWO YEARS OLD WAS AHAZIAH WHEN HE
BEGAN TO REIGN, AND HE REIGNED ONE YEAR IN JERUSALEM. HIS
MOTHER’S NAME ALSO WAS ATHALIAH THE DAUGHTER OF OMRI. 3
HE ALSO WALKED IN THE WAYS OF THE HOUSE OF AHAB: FOR HIS
MOTHER WAS HIS COUNSELLER TO DO WICKEDLY. 4 WHEREFORE HE
DID EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD LIKE THE HOUSE OF AHAB: FOR
THEY WERE HIS COUNSELLERS AFTER THE DEATH OF HIS FATHER TO
HIS DESTRUCTION. 5 HE WALKED ALSO AFTER THEIR COUNSEL, AND
WENT WITH JEHORAM THE SON OF AHAB KING OF ISRAEL TO WAR
AGAINST HAZAEL KING OF SYRIA AT RAMOTH-GILEAD: AND THE
SYRIANS SMOTE JORAM. 6 AND HE RETURNED TO BE HEALED IN
JEZREEL BECAUSE OF THE WOUNDS WHICH WERE GIVEN HIM AT
RAMAH, WHEN HE FOUGHT WITH HAZAEL KING OF SYRIA. AND
AZARIAH THE SON OF JEHORAM KING OF JUDAH WENT DOWN TO
SEE JEHORAM THE SON OF AHAB AT JEZREEL, BECAUSE HE WAS SICK.
7 AND THE DESTRUCTION OF AHAZIAH WAS OF GOD BY COMING TO
JORAM: FOR WHEN HE WAS COME, HE WENT OUT WITH JEHORAM
AGAINST JEHU THE SON OF NIMSHI, WHOM THE LORD HAD
ANOINTED TO CUT OFF THE HOUSE OF AHAB. 8 AND IT CAME TO PASS,
THAT, WHEN JEHU WAS EXECUTING JUDGMENT UPON THE HOUSE
OF AHAB, AND FOUND THE PRINCES OF JUDAH, AND THE SONS OF
THE BRETHREN OF AHAZIAH, THAT MINISTERED TO AHAZIAH, HE
SLEW THEM. 9 AND HE SOUGHT AHAZIAH: AND THEY CAUGHT HIM,
(FOR HE WAS HID IN SAMARIA,) AND BROUGHT HIM TO JEHU: AND
WHEN THEY HAD SLAIN HIM, THEY BURIED HIM: BECAUSE, SAID
THEY, HE IS THE SON OF JEHOSHAPHAT, WHO SOUGHT THE LORD
WITH ALL HIS HEART. SO THE HOUSE OF AHAZIAH HAD NO POWER
TO KEEP STILL THE KINGDOM. 10 BUT WHEN ATHALIAH THE MOTHER
OF AHAZIAH SAW THAT HER SON WAS DEAD, SHE AROSE AND
DESTROYED ALL THE SEED ROYAL OF THE HOUSE OF JUDAH. 11 BUT
JEHOSHABEATH, THE DAUGHTER OF THE KING, TOOK JOASH THE
610
 THE SECOND BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES
BROUGHT OUT THE KING’S SON, AND PUT UPON HIM THE CROWN,
CHAPTER 23 AND GAVE HIM THE TESTIMONY, AND MADE HIM KING. AND
JEHOIADA AND HIS SONS ANOINTED HIM, AND SAID, GOD SAVE THE
KING. 12 NOW WHEN ATHALIAH HEARD THE NOISE OF THE PEOPLE
AND IN THE SEVENTH YEAR JEHOIADA STRENGTHENED HIMSELF,
RUNNING AND PRAISING THE KING, SHE CAME TO THE PEOPLE INTO
AND TOOK THE CAPTAINS OF HUNDREDS, AZARIAH THE SON OF
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD: 13 AND SHE LOOKED, AND, BEHOLD, THE
JEROHAM, AND ISHMAEL THE SON OF JEHOHANAN, AND AZARIAH
KING STOOD AT HIS PILLAR AT THE ENTERING IN, AND THE PRINCES
THE SON OF OBED, AND MAASEIAH THE SON OF ADAIAH, AND
AND THE TRUMPETS BY THE KING: AND ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE
ELISHAPHAT THE SON OF ZICHRI, INTO COVENANT WITH HIM. 2 AND
LAND REJOICED, AND SOUNDED WITH TRUMPETS, ALSO THE
THEY WENT ABOUT IN JUDAH, AND GATHERED THE LEVITES OUT OF
SINGERS WITH INSTRUMENTS OF MUSICK, AND SUCH AS TAUGHT TO
ALL THE CITIES OF JUDAH, AND THE CHIEF OF THE FATHERS OF
SING PRAISE. THEN ATHALIAH RENT HER CLOTHES, AND SAID,
ISRAEL, AND THEY CAME TO JERUSALEM. 3 AND ALL THE
TREASON, TREASON. 14 THEN JEHOIADA THE PRIEST BROUGHT OUT
CONGREGATION MADE A COVENANT WITH THE KING IN THE HOUSE
THE CAPTAINS OF HUNDREDS THAT WERE SET OVER THE HOST, AND
OF GOD. AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, BEHOLD, THE KING’S SON SHALL
SAID UNTO THEM, HAVE HER FORTH OF THE RANGES: AND WHOSO
REIGN, AS THE LORD HATH SAID OF THE SONS OF DAVID. 4 THIS IS
FOLLOWETH HER, LET HIM BE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD. FOR THE
THE THING THAT YE SHALL DO; A THIRD PART OF YOU ENTERING ON
PRIEST SAID, SLAY HER NOT IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. 15 SO THEY
THE SABBATH, OF THE PRIESTS AND OF THE LEVITES, SHALL BE
LAID HANDS ON HER; AND WHEN SHE WAS COME TO THE ENTERING
PORTERS OF THE DOORS; 5 AND A THIRD PART SHALL BE AT THE
OF THE HORSE GATE BY THE KING’S HOUSE, THEY SLEW HER THERE.
KING’S HOUSE; AND A THIRD PART AT THE GATE OF THE
16 AND JEHOIADA MADE A COVENANT BETWEEN HIM, AND
FOUNDATION: AND ALL THE PEOPLE SHALL BE IN THE COURTS OF
BETWEEN ALL THE PEOPLE, AND BETWEEN THE KING, THAT THEY

SHOULD BE THE LORD’S PEOPLE. 17 THEN ALL THE PEOPLE WENT
OF THE LORD, SAVE THE PRIESTS, AND THEY THAT MINISTER OF THE
TO THE HOUSE OF BAAL, AND BRAKE IT DOWN, AND BRAKE HIS

LORD. 22 SO THEY KILLED THE BULLOCKS, AND THE PRIESTS
HEART TO MAKE A COVENANT WITH THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, THAT
RECEIVED THE BLOOD, AND SPRINKLED IT ON THE ALTAR: LIKEWISE,
HIS FIERCE WRATH MAY TURN AWAY FROM US. 11 MY SONS, BE NOT
WHEN THEY HAD KILLED THE RAMS, THEY SPRINKLED THE BLOOD

COMMANDMENT OF DAVID, AND OF GAD THE KING’S SEER, AND SUDDENLY.
NATHAN THE PROPHET: FOR SO WAS THE COMMANDMENT OF THE
LORD BY HIS PROPHETS. 26 AND THE LEVITES STOOD WITH THE
INSTRUMENTS OF DAVID, AND THE PRIESTS WITH THE TRUMPETS.
27 AND HEZEKIAH COMMANDED TO OFFER THE BURNT OFFERING
UPON THE ALTAR. AND WHEN THE BURNT OFFERING BEGAN, THE
SONG OF THE LORD BEGAN ALSO WITH THE TRUMPETS, AND WITH
THE INSTRUMENTS ORDAINED BY DAVID KING OF ISRAEL. 28 AND
ALL THE CONGREGATION WORSHIPPED, AND THE SINGERS SANG,
AND THE TRUMPETERS SOUNDED: AND ALL THIS CONTINUED UNTIL
THE BURNT OFFERING WAS FINISHED. 29 AND WHEN THEY HAD
MADE AN END OF OFFERING, THE KING AND ALL THAT WERE
PRESENT WITH HIM BOWED THEMSELVES, AND WORSHIPPED. 30
MOREOVER HEZEKIAH THE KING AND THE PRINCES COMMANDED
THE LEVITES TO SING PRAISE UNTO THE LORD WITH THE WORDS OF
DAVID, AND OF ASAPH THE SEER. AND THEY SANG PRAISES WITH
GLADNESS, AND THEY BOWED THEIR HEADS AND WORSHIPPED. 31
THEN HEZEKIAH ANSWERED AND SAID, NOW YE HAVE
CONSECRATED YOURSELVES UNTO THE LORD, COME NEAR AND
BRING SACRIFICES AND THANK OFFERINGS INTO THE HOUSE OF THE
LORD. AND THE CONGREGATION BROUGHT IN SACRIFICES AND
THANK OFFERINGS; AND AS MANY AS WERE OF A FREE HEART BURNT
OFFERINGS. 32 AND THE NUMBER OF THE BURNT OFFERINGS,
WHICH THE CONGREGATION BROUGHT, WAS THREESCORE AND TEN
BULLOCKS, AN HUNDRED RAMS, AND TWO HUNDRED LAMBS: ALL
THESE WERE FOR A BURNT OFFERING TO THE LORD. 33 AND THE
CONSECRATED THINGS WERE SIX HUNDRED OXEN AND THREE
THOUSAND SHEEP. 34 BUT THE PRIESTS WERE TOO FEW, SO THAT
THEY COULD NOT FLAY ALL THE BURNT OFFERINGS: WHEREFORE
THEIR BRETHREN THE LEVITES DID HELP THEM, TILL THE WORK WAS
ENDED, AND UNTIL THE OTHER PRIESTS HAD SANCTIFIED
THEMSELVES: FOR THE LEVITES WERE MORE UPRIGHT IN HEART TO
SANCTIFY THEMSELVES THAN THE PRIESTS. 35 AND ALSO THE
BURNT OFFERINGS WERE IN ABUNDANCE, WITH THE FAT OF THE
PEACE OFFERINGS, AND THE DRINK OFFERINGS FOR EVERY BURNT
OFFERING. SO THE SERVICE OF THE HOUSE OF THE LORD WAS SET

WAS TO GIVE THEM ONE HEART TO DO THE COMMANDMENT OF THE

SINCE THE TIME OF SOLOMON THE SON OF DAVID KING OF ISRAEL
THERE WAS NOT THE LIKE IN JERUSALEM. 27 THEN THE PRIESTS THE

OF THOSE LANDS ANY WAYS ABLE TO DELIVER THEIR LANDS OUT OF

NOT AGAIN ACCORDING TO THE BENEFIT DONE UNTO HIM; FOR HIS
HEART WAS LIFTED UP: THEREFORE THERE WAS WRATH UPON HIM,
AND UPON JUDAH AND JERUSALEM. 26 NOTWITHSTANDING
HEZEKIAH HUMBLED HIMSELF FOR 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 MADE HIMSELF TREASURIES FOR SILVER, AND FOR GOLD, AND
FOR PRECIOUS STONES, AND FOR SPICES, AND FOR SHIELDS, AND
FOR ALL MANNER OF PLEASANT JEWELS; 28 STOREHOUSES ALSO
FOR THE INCREASE OF CORN, AND WINE, AND OIL; AND STALLS FOR
ALL MANNER OF BEASTS, AND COTES FOR FLOCKS. 29 MOREOVER
HE PROVIDED HIM CITIES, AND POSSESSIONS OF FLOCKS AND HERDS
IN ABUNDANCE: FOR GOD HAD GIVEN HIM SUBSTANCE VERY MUCH.
30 THIS SAME HEZEKIAH ALSO STOPPED THE UPPER WATERCOURSE

PRINCES OF BABYLON, WHO SENT UNTO HIM TO INQUIRE OF THE

REST OF THE ACTS OF HEZEKIAH, AND HIS GOODNESS, BEHOLD,
THEY ARE WRITTEN IN THE VISION OF ISAIAH THE PROPHET, THE
SON OF AMOZ, AND IN THE BOOK OF THE KINGS OF JUDAH AND

KNEW THAT THE LORD HE WAS GOD. 14 NOW AFTER THIS HE BUILT
MANASSEH WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD WHEN HE BEGAN TO REIGN,
A WALL WITHOUT THE CITY OF DAVID, ON THE WEST SIDE OF GIHON,
AND HE REIGNED FIFTY AND FIVE YEARS IN JERUSALEM: 2 BUT DID
IN THE VALLEY, EVEN TO THE ENTERING IN AT THE FISH GATE, AND
THAT WHICH WAS EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, LIKE UNTO THE
COMPASSED ABOUT OPHEL, AND RAISED IT UP A VERY GREAT
ABOMINATIONS OF THE HEATHEN, WHOM THE LORD HAD CAST OUT
HEIGHT, AND PUT CAPTAINS OF WAR IN ALL THE FENCED CITIES OF
BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. 3 FOR HE BUILT AGAIN THE HIGH
JUDAH. 15 AND HE TOOK AWAY THE STRANGE GODS, AND THE IDOL
PLACES WHICH HEZEKIAH HIS FATHER HAD BROKEN DOWN, AND HE
OUT OF THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, AND ALL THE ALTARS THAT HE
REARED UP ALTARS FOR BAALIM, AND MADE GROVES, AND
HAD BUILT IN THE MOUNT OF THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, AND IN
WORSHIPPED ALL THE HOST OF HEAVEN, AND SERVED THEM. 4 ALSO

REPAIRED THE ALTAR OF THE LORD, AND SACRIFICED THEREON
HAD SAID, IN JERUSALEM SHALL MY NAME BE FOR EVER. 5 AND HE

BUILT ALTARS FOR ALL THE HOST OF HEAVEN IN THE TWO COURTS

PEOPLE DID SACRIFICE STILL IN THE HIGH PLACES, YET UNTO THE
PASS THROUGH THE FIRE IN THE VALLEY OF THE SON OF HINNOM:
LORD THEIR GOD ONLY. 18 NOW THE REST OF THE ACTS OF
ALSO HE OBSERVED TIMES, AND USED ENCHANTMENTS, AND USED
MANASSEH, AND HIS PRAYER UNTO HIS GOD, AND THE WORDS OF
WITCHCRAFT, AND DEALT WITH A FAMILIAR SPIRIT, AND WITH
THE SEERS THAT SPAKE TO HIM IN THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD OF
WIZARDS: HE WROUGHT MUCH EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, TO
ISRAEL, BEHOLD, THEY ARE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE KINGS
PROVOKE HIM TO ANGER. 7 AND HE SET A CARVED IMAGE, THE IDOL
OF ISRAEL. 19 HIS PRAYER ALSO, AND HOW GOD WAS INTREATED OF
WHICH HE HAD MADE, IN THE HOUSE OF GOD, OF WHICH GOD HAD
HIM, AND ALL HIS SIN, AND HIS TRESPASS, AND THE PLACES
SAID TO DAVID AND TO SOLOMON HIS SON, IN THIS HOUSE, AND IN
WHEREIN HE BUILT HIGH PLACES, AND SET UP GROVES AND GRAVEN

IMAGES, BEFORE HE WAS HUMBLED: BEHOLD, THEY ARE WRITTEN

MORE REMOVE THE FOOT OF ISRAEL FROM OUT OF THE LAND WHICH

I HAVE APPOINTED FOR YOUR FATHERS; SO THAT THEY WILL TAKE
AMON HIS SON REIGNED IN HIS STEAD. 21 AMON WAS TWO AND
HEED TO DO ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED THEM, ACCORDING TO
TWENTY YEARS OLD WHEN HE BEGAN TO REIGN, AND REIGNED TWO
THE WHOLE LAW AND THE STATUTES AND THE ORDINANCES BY THE
YEARS IN JERUSALEM. 22 BUT HE DID THAT WHICH WAS EVIL IN THE
HAND OF MOSES. 9 SO MANASSEH MADE JUDAH AND THE
SIGHT OF THE LORD, AS DID MANASSEH HIS FATHER: FOR AMON

HUMBLED HIMSELF; BUT AMON TRESPASSED MORE AND MORE. 24

THEY HAVE FORSAKEN ME, AND HAVE BURNED INCENSE UNTO
OTHER GODS, THAT THEY MIGHT PROVOKE ME TO ANGER WITH ALL

 EZRA
AND TO GIVE US A WALL IN JUDAH AND IN JERUSALEM. 10 AND NOW,
CHAPTER 9 O OUR GOD, WHAT SHALL WE SAY AFTER THIS? FOR WE HAVE
FORSAKEN THY COMMANDMENTS, 11 WHICH THOU HAST
COMMANDED BY THY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS, SAYING, THE LAND,
NOW WHEN THESE THINGS WERE DONE, THE PRINCES CAME TO ME,
UNTO WHICH YE GO TO POSSESS IT, IS AN UNCLEAN LAND WITH THE
SAYING, THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, AND THE PRIESTS, AND THE
FILTHINESS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE LANDS, WITH THEIR
LEVITES, HAVE NOT SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE PEOPLE OF
ABOMINATIONS, WHICH HAVE FILLED IT FROM ONE END TO
THE LANDS, DOING ACCORDING TO THEIR ABOMINATIONS, EVEN OF
ANOTHER WITH THEIR UNCLEANNESS. 12 NOW THEREFORE GIVE
THE CANAANITES, THE HITTITES, THE PERIZZITES, THE JEBUSITES,
NOT YOUR DAUGHTERS UNTO THEIR SONS, NEITHER TAKE THEIR
THE AMMONITES, THE MOABITES, THE EGYPTIANS, AND THE
DAUGHTERS UNTO YOUR SONS, NOR SEEK THEIR PEACE OR THEIR
AMORITES. 2 FOR THEY HAVE TAKEN OF THEIR DAUGHTERS FOR
WEALTH FOR EVER: THAT YE MAY BE STRONG, AND EAT THE GOOD
THEMSELVES, AND FOR THEIR SONS: SO THAT THE HOLY SEED HAVE
OF THE LAND, AND LEAVE IT FOR AN INHERITANCE TO YOUR
MINGLED THEMSELVES WITH THE PEOPLE OF THOSE LANDS: YEA,
CHILDREN FOR EVER. 13 AND AFTER ALL THAT IS COME UPON US
THE HAND OF THE PRINCES AND RULERS HATH BEEN CHIEF IN THIS
FOR OUR EVIL DEEDS, AND FOR OUR GREAT TRESPASS, SEEING THAT
TRESPASS. 3 AND WHEN I HEARD THIS THING, I RENT MY GARMENT
THOU OUR GOD HAST PUNISHED US LESS THAN OUR INIQUITIES
AND MY MANTLE, AND PLUCKED OFF THE HAIR OF MY HEAD AND OF
DESERVE, AND HAST GIVEN US SUCH DELIVERANCE AS THIS; 14
MY BEARD, AND SAT DOWN ASTONIED. 4 THEN WERE ASSEMBLED
SHOULD WE AGAIN BREAK THY COMMANDMENTS, AND JOIN IN
UNTO ME EVERY ONE THAT TREMBLED AT THE WORDS OF THE GOD
AFFINITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF THESE ABOMINATIONS? WOULDEST
OF ISRAEL, BECAUSE OF THE TRANSGRESSION OF THOSE THAT HAD
NOT THOU BE ANGRY WITH US TILL THOU HADST CONSUMED US, SO
BEEN CARRIED AWAY; AND I SAT ASTONIED UNTIL THE EVENING
THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO REMNANT NOR ESCAPING? 15 O LORD
SACRIFICE. 5 AND AT THE EVENING SACRIFICE I AROSE UP FROM MY
GOD OF ISRAEL, THOU ART RIGHTEOUS: FOR WE REMAIN YET
HEAVINESS; AND HAVING RENT MY GARMENT AND MY MANTLE, I
ESCAPED, AS IT IS THIS DAY: BEHOLD, WE ARE BEFORE THEE IN OUR
FELL UPON MY KNEES, AND SPREAD OUT MY HANDS UNTO THE LORD
TRESPASSES: FOR WE CANNOT STAND BEFORE THEE BECAUSE OF
MY GOD, 6 AND SAID, O MY GOD, I AM ASHAMED AND BLUSH TO LIFT
THIS.
UP MY FACE TO THEE, MY GOD: FOR OUR INIQUITIES ARE INCREASED
OVER OUR HEAD, AND OUR TRESPASS IS GROWN UP UNTO THE
HEAVENS. 7 SINCE THE DAYS OF OUR FATHERS HAVE WE BEEN IN A
GREAT TRESPASS UNTO THIS DAY; AND FOR OUR INIQUITIES HAVE
WE, OUR KINGS, AND OUR PRIESTS, BEEN DELIVERED INTO THE
HAND OF THE KINGS OF THE LANDS, TO THE SWORD, TO CAPTIVITY,
AND TO A SPOIL, AND TO CONFUSION OF FACE, AS IT IS THIS DAY. 8
AND NOW FOR A LITTLE SPACE GRACE HATH BEEN SHEWED FROM
THE LORD OUR GOD, TO LEAVE US A REMNANT TO ESCAPE, AND TO
GIVE US A NAIL IN HIS HOLY PLACE, THAT OUR GOD MAY LIGHTEN
OUR EYES, AND GIVE US A LITTLE REVIVING IN OUR BONDAGE. 9 FOR
WE WERE BONDMEN; YET OUR GOD HATH NOT FORSAKEN US IN OUR
BONDAGE, BUT HATH EXTENDED MERCY UNTO US IN THE SIGHT OF
THE KINGS OF PERSIA, TO GIVE US A REVIVING, TO SET UP THE
HOUSE OF OUR GOD, AND TO REPAIR THE DESOLATIONS THEREOF,

TRANSGRESSED, AND HAVE TAKEN STRANGE WIVES, TO INCREASE
CHAPTER 10 THE TRESPASS OF ISRAEL. 11 NOW THEREFORE MAKE CONFESSION
UNTO THE LORD GOD OF YOUR FATHERS, AND DO HIS PLEASURE:
AND SEPARATE YOURSELVES FROM THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND, AND
NOW WHEN EZRA HAD PRAYED, AND WHEN HE HAD CONFESSED,
FROM THE STRANGE WIVES. 12 THEN ALL THE CONGREGATION
WEEPING AND CASTING HIMSELF DOWN BEFORE THE HOUSE OF GOD,
ANSWERED AND SAID WITH A LOUD VOICE, AS THOU HAST SAID, SO
THERE ASSEMBLED UNTO HIM OUT OF ISRAEL A VERY GREAT
MUST WE DO. 13 BUT THE PEOPLE ARE MANY, AND IT IS A TIME OF
CONGREGATION OF MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN: FOR THE
MUCH RAIN, AND WE ARE NOT ABLE TO STAND WITHOUT, NEITHER
PEOPLE WEPT VERY SORE. 2 AND SHECHANIAH THE SON OF JEHIEL,
IS THIS A WORK OF ONE DAY OR TWO: FOR WE ARE MANY THAT HAVE
ONE OF THE SONS OF ELAM, ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO EZRA, WE
TRANSGRESSED IN THIS THING. 14 LET NOW OUR RULERS OF ALL
HAVE TRESPASSED AGAINST OUR GOD, AND HAVE TAKEN STRANGE
THE CONGREGATION STAND, AND LET ALL THEM WHICH HAVE
WIVES OF THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND: YET NOW THERE IS HOPE IN
TAKEN STRANGE WIVES IN OUR CITIES COME AT APPOINTED TIMES,
ISRAEL CONCERNING THIS THING. 3 NOW THEREFORE LET US MAKE
AND WITH THEM THE ELDERS OF EVERY CITY, AND THE JUDGES
A COVENANT WITH OUR GOD TO PUT AWAY ALL THE WIVES, AND
THEREOF, UNTIL THE FIERCE WRATH OF OUR GOD FOR THIS MATTER
SUCH AS ARE BORN OF THEM, ACCORDING TO THE COUNSEL OF MY

FOR THIS MATTER BELONGETH UNTO THEE: WE ALSO WILL BE WITH
THEM. 16 AND THE CHILDREN OF THE CAPTIVITY DID SO. AND EZRA
THEE: BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND DO IT. 5 THEN AROSE EZRA, AND
THE PRIEST, WITH CERTAIN CHIEF OF THE FATHERS, AFTER THE
MADE THE CHIEF PRIESTS, THE LEVITES, AND ALL ISRAEL, TO SWEAR
HOUSE OF THEIR FATHERS, AND ALL OF THEM BY THEIR NAMES,
THAT THEY SHOULD DO ACCORDING TO THIS WORD. AND THEY
WERE SEPARATED, AND SAT DOWN IN THE FIRST DAY OF THE TENTH
SWARE. 6 THEN EZRA ROSE UP FROM BEFORE THE HOUSE OF GOD,
MONTH TO EXAMINE THE MATTER. 17 AND THEY MADE AN END
AND WENT INTO THE CHAMBER OF JOHANAN THE SON OF ELIASHIB:
WITH ALL THE MEN THAT HAD TAKEN STRANGE WIVES BY THE FIRST
AND WHEN HE CAME THITHER, HE DID EAT NO BREAD, NOR DRINK
DAY OF THE FIRST MONTH. 18 AND AMONG THE SONS OF THE

THE WORDS OF NEHEMIAH THE SON OF HACHALIAH. AND IT CAME

TO PASS IN THE MONTH CHISLEU, IN THE TWENTIETH YEAR, AS I
WAS IN SHUSHAN THE PALACE, 2 THAT HANANI, ONE OF MY
BRETHREN, CAME, HE AND CERTAIN MEN OF JUDAH; AND I ASKED
THEM CONCERNING THE JEWS THAT HAD ESCAPED, WHICH WERE
LEFT OF THE CAPTIVITY, AND CONCERNING JERUSALEM. 3 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 FIRE. 4 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN I
HEARD THESE WORDS, THAT I SAT DOWN AND WEPT, AND MOURNED
CERTAIN DAYS, AND FASTED, AND PRAYED BEFORE THE GOD OF
HEAVEN, 5 AND SAID, I BESEECH THEE, O LORD GOD OF HEAVEN,
THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE GOD, THAT KEEPETH COVENANT AND
MERCY FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM AND OBSERVE HIS
COMMANDMENTS: 6 LET THINE EAR NOW BE ATTENTIVE, AND THINE
EYES OPEN, THAT THOU MAYEST HEAR THE PRAYER OF THY SERVANT,
WHICH I PRAY BEFORE THEE NOW, DAY AND NIGHT, FOR THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THY SERVANTS, AND CONFESS THE SINS OF
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, WHICH WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST THEE:
BOTH I AND MY FATHER’S HOUSE HAVE SINNED. 7 WE HAVE DEALT
VERY CORRUPTLY AGAINST THEE, AND HAVE NOT KEPT THE
COMMANDMENTS, NOR THE STATUTES, NOR THE JUDGMENTS,
WHICH THOU COMMANDEDST THY SERVANT MOSES. 8 REMEMBER,
I BESEECH THEE, THE WORD THAT THOU COMMANDEDST THY
SERVANT MOSES, SAYING, IF YE TRANSGRESS, I WILL SCATTER YOU
ABROAD AMONG THE NATIONS: 9 BUT IF YE TURN UNTO ME, AND
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, AND DO THEM; THOUGH THERE WERE
OF YOU CAST OUT UNTO 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 SET MY NAME THERE. 10 NOW
THESE ARE THY SERVANTS AND THY PEOPLE, WHOM THOU HAST
REDEEMED BY THY GREAT POWER, AND BY THY STRONG HAND. 11 O
LORD, I BESEECH THEE, LET NOW THINE EAR BE ATTENTIVE TO THE
PRAYER OF THY SERVANT, AND TO THE PRAYER OF THY SERVANTS,

 NEHEMIAH
HAD PUT IN MY HEART TO DO AT JERUSALEM: NEITHER WAS THERE
CHAPTER 2 ANY BEAST WITH ME, SAVE THE BEAST THAT I RODE UPON. 13 AND
I WENT OUT BY NIGHT BY THE GATE OF THE VALLEY, EVEN BEFORE
THE DRAGON WELL, AND TO THE DUNG PORT, AND VIEWED THE
AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE MONTH NISAN, IN THE TWENTIETH
WALLS OF JERUSALEM, WHICH WERE BROKEN DOWN, AND THE
YEAR OF ARTAXERXES THE KING, THAT WINE WAS BEFORE HIM: AND
GATES THEREOF WERE CONSUMED WITH FIRE. 14 THEN I WENT ON
I TOOK UP THE WINE, AND GAVE IT UNTO THE KING. NOW I HAD NOT
TO THE GATE OF THE FOUNTAIN, AND TO THE KING’S POOL: BUT
BEEN BEFORETIME SAD IN HIS PRESENCE. 2 WHEREFORE THE KING
THERE WAS NO PLACE FOR THE BEAST THAT WAS UNDER ME TO PASS.
SAID UNTO ME, WHY IS THY COUNTENANCE SAD, SEEING THOU ART
15 THEN WENT I UP IN THE NIGHT BY THE BROOK, AND VIEWED THE
NOT SICK? THIS IS NOTHING ELSE BUT SORROW OF HEART. THEN I
WALL, AND TURNED BACK, AND ENTERED BY THE GATE OF THE
WAS VERY SORE AFRAID, 3 AND SAID UNTO THE KING, LET THE KING
VALLEY, AND SO RETURNED. 16 AND THE RULERS KNEW NOT
LIVE FOR EVER: WHY SHOULD NOT MY COUNTENANCE BE SAD,
WHITHER I WENT, OR WHAT I DID; NEITHER HAD I AS YET TOLD IT
WHEN THE CITY, THE PLACE OF MY FATHERS’ SEPULCHRES, LIETH
TO THE JEWS, NOR TO THE PRIESTS, NOR TO THE NOBLES, NOR TO
WASTE, AND THE GATES THEREOF ARE CONSUMED WITH FIRE? 4
THE RULERS, NOR TO THE REST THAT DID THE WORK. 17 THEN SAID
THEN THE KING SAID UNTO ME, FOR WHAT DOST THOU MAKE
I UNTO THEM, YE SEE THE DISTRESS THAT WE ARE IN, HOW
REQUEST? SO I PRAYED TO THE GOD OF HEAVEN. 5 AND I SAID UNTO
JERUSALEM LIETH WASTE, AND THE GATES THEREOF ARE BURNED
THE KING, IF IT PLEASE THE KING, AND IF THY SERVANT HAVE
WITH FIRE: COME, AND LET US BUILD UP THE WALL OF JERUSALEM,
FOUND FAVOUR IN THY SIGHT, THAT THOU WOULDEST SEND ME
THAT WE BE NO MORE A REPROACH. 18 THEN I TOLD THEM OF THE
UNTO JUDAH, UNTO THE CITY OF MY FATHERS’ SEPULCHRES, THAT
HAND OF MY GOD WHICH WAS GOOD UPON ME; AS ALSO THE KING’S
I MAY BUILD IT. 6 AND THE KING SAID UNTO ME, (THE QUEEN ALSO
WORDS THAT HE HAD SPOKEN UNTO ME. AND THEY SAID, LET US
SITTING BY HIM,) FOR HOW LONG SHALL THY JOURNEY BE? AND
RISE UP AND BUILD. SO THEY STRENGTHENED THEIR HANDS FOR
WHEN WILT THOU RETURN? SO IT PLEASED THE KING TO SEND ME;
THIS GOOD WORK. 19 BUT WHEN SANBALLAT THE HORONITE, AND
AND I SET HIM A TIME. 7 MOREOVER I SAID UNTO THE KING, IF IT
TOBIAH THE SERVANT, THE AMMONITE, AND GESHEM THE ARABIAN,
PLEASE THE KING, LET LETTERS BE GIVEN ME TO THE GOVERNORS
HEARD IT, THEY LAUGHED US TO SCORN, AND DESPISED US, AND
BEYOND THE RIVER, THAT THEY MAY CONVEY ME OVER TILL I COME
SAID, WHAT IS THIS THING THAT YE DO? WILL YE REBEL AGAINST
INTO JUDAH; 8 AND A LETTER UNTO ASAPH THE KEEPER OF THE

KING’S FOREST, THAT HE MAY GIVE ME TIMBER TO MAKE BEAMS FOR
GOD OF HEAVEN, HE WILL PROSPER US; THEREFORE WE HIS
THE GATES OF THE PALACE WHICH APPERTAINED TO THE HOUSE,
SERVANTS WILL ARISE AND BUILD: BUT YE HAVE NO PORTION, NOR
AND FOR THE WALL OF THE CITY, AND FOR THE HOUSE THAT I SHALL
RIGHT, NOR MEMORIAL, IN JERUSALEM.
ENTER INTO. AND THE KING GRANTED ME, ACCORDING TO THE
GOOD HAND OF MY GOD UPON ME. 9 THEN I CAME TO THE
GOVERNORS BEYOND THE RIVER, AND GAVE THEM THE KING’S
LETTERS. NOW THE KING HAD SENT CAPTAINS OF THE ARMY AND
HORSEMEN WITH ME. 10 WHEN SANBALLAT THE HORONITE, AND
TOBIAH THE SERVANT, THE AMMONITE, HEARD OF IT, IT GRIEVED
THEM EXCEEDINGLY THAT THERE WAS COME A MAN TO SEEK THE
WELFARE OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. 11 SO I CAME TO JERUSALEM,
AND WAS THERE THREE DAYS. 12 AND I AROSE IN THE NIGHT, I AND
SOME FEW MEN WITH ME; NEITHER TOLD I ANY MAN WHAT MY GOD

SPEARS, AND THEIR BOWS. 14 AND I LOOKED, AND ROSE UP, AND
CHAPTER 4 SAID UNTO THE NOBLES, AND TO THE RULERS, AND TO THE REST OF
THE PEOPLE, BE NOT YE AFRAID OF THEM: REMEMBER THE LORD,
WHICH IS GREAT AND TERRIBLE, AND FIGHT FOR YOUR BRETHREN,
BUT IT CAME TO PASS, THAT WHEN SANBALLAT HEARD THAT WE
YOUR SONS, AND YOUR DAUGHTERS, YOUR WIVES, AND YOUR
BUILDED THE WALL, HE WAS WROTH, AND TOOK GREAT
HOUSES. 15 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN OUR ENEMIES HEARD
INDIGNATION, AND MOCKED THE JEWS. 2 AND HE SPAKE BEFORE
THAT IT WAS KNOWN UNTO US, AND GOD HAD BROUGHT THEIR
HIS BRETHREN AND THE ARMY OF SAMARIA, AND SAID, WHAT DO
COUNSEL TO NOUGHT, THAT WE RETURNED ALL OF US TO THE WALL,
THESE FEEBLE JEWS? WILL THEY FORTIFY THEMSELVES? WILL THEY
EVERY ONE UNTO HIS WORK. 16 AND IT CAME TO PASS FROM THAT
SACRIFICE? WILL THEY MAKE AN END IN A DAY? WILL THEY REVIVE
TIME FORTH, THAT THE HALF OF MY SERVANTS WROUGHT IN THE
THE STONES OUT OF THE HEAPS OF THE RUBBISH WHICH ARE
WORK, AND THE OTHER HALF OF THEM HELD BOTH THE SPEARS,
BURNED? 3 NOW TOBIAH THE AMMONITE WAS BY HIM, AND HE SAID,
THE SHIELDS, AND THE BOWS, AND THE HABERGEONS; AND THE
EVEN THAT WHICH THEY BUILD, IF A FOX GO UP, HE SHALL EVEN
RULERS WERE BEHIND ALL THE HOUSE OF JUDAH. 17 THEY WHICH
BREAK DOWN THEIR STONE WALL. 4 HEAR, O OUR GOD; FOR WE ARE
BUILDED ON THE WALL, AND THEY THAT BARE BURDENS, WITH
DESPISED: AND TURN THEIR REPROACH UPON THEIR OWN HEAD,
THOSE THAT LADED, EVERY ONE WITH ONE OF HIS HANDS
AND GIVE THEM FOR A PREY IN THE LAND OF CAPTIVITY: 5 AND
WROUGHT IN THE WORK, AND WITH THE OTHER HAND HELD A
COVER NOT THEIR INIQUITY, AND LET NOT THEIR SIN BE BLOTTED
WEAPON. 18 FOR THE BUILDERS, EVERY ONE HAD HIS SWORD
OUT FROM BEFORE THEE: FOR THEY HAVE PROVOKED THEE TO
GIRDED BY HIS SIDE, AND SO BUILDED. AND HE THAT SOUNDED THE
ANGER BEFORE THE BUILDERS. 6 SO BUILT WE THE WALL; AND ALL
TRUMPET WAS BY ME. 19 AND I SAID UNTO THE NOBLES, AND TO
THE WALL WAS JOINED TOGETHER UNTO THE HALF THEREOF: FOR
THE RULERS, AND TO THE REST OF THE PEOPLE, THE WORK IS GREAT
THE PEOPLE HAD A MIND TO WORK. 7 BUT IT CAME TO PASS, THAT
AND LARGE, AND WE ARE SEPARATED UPON THE WALL, ONE FAR
WHEN SANBALLAT, AND TOBIAH, AND THE ARABIANS, AND THE
FROM ANOTHER. 20 IN WHAT PLACE THEREFORE YE HEAR THE
AMMONITES, AND THE ASHDODITES, HEARD THAT THE WALLS OF
SOUND OF THE TRUMPET, RESORT YE THITHER UNTO US: OUR GOD
JERUSALEM WERE MADE UP, AND THAT THE BREACHES BEGAN TO
SHALL FIGHT FOR US. 21 SO WE LABOURED IN THE WORK: AND HALF
BE STOPPED, THEN THEY WERE VERY WROTH, 8 AND CONSPIRED
OF THEM HELD THE SPEARS FROM THE RISING OF THE MORNING
ALL OF THEM TOGETHER TO COME AND TO FIGHT AGAINST
TILL THE STARS APPEARED. 22 LIKEWISE AT THE SAME TIME SAID I
JERUSALEM, AND TO HINDER IT. 9 NEVERTHELESS WE MADE OUR
UNTO THE PEOPLE, LET EVERY ONE WITH HIS SERVANT LODGE
PRAYER UNTO OUR GOD, AND SET A WATCH AGAINST THEM DAY AND
WITHIN JERUSALEM, THAT IN THE NIGHT THEY MAY BE A GUARD TO
NIGHT, BECAUSE OF THEM. 10 AND JUDAH SAID, THE STRENGTH OF
US, AND LABOUR ON THE DAY. 23 SO NEITHER I, NOR MY BRETHREN,
THE BEARERS OF BURDENS IS DECAYED, AND THERE IS MUCH
NOR MY SERVANTS, NOR THE MEN OF THE GUARD WHICH
RUBBISH; SO THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO BUILD THE WALL. 11 AND
FOLLOWED ME, NONE OF US PUT OFF OUR CLOTHES, SAVING THAT
OUR ADVERSARIES SAID, THEY SHALL NOT KNOW, NEITHER SEE, TILL
EVERY ONE PUT THEM OFF FOR WASHING.
WE COME IN THE MIDST AMONG THEM, AND SLAY THEM, AND
CAUSE THE WORK TO CEASE. 12 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT WHEN
THE JEWS WHICH DWELT BY THEM CAME, THEY SAID UNTO US TEN
TIMES, FROM ALL PLACES WHENCE YE SHALL RETURN UNTO US
THEY WILL BE UPON YOU. 13 THEREFORE SET I IN THE LOWER
PLACES BEHIND THE WALL, AND ON THE HIGHER PLACES, I EVEN
SET THE PEOPLE AFTER THEIR FAMILIES WITH THEIR SWORDS, THEIR
657
 NEHEMIAH
HOUSE, AND FROM HIS LABOUR, THAT PERFORMETH NOT THIS
CHAPTER 5 PROMISE, EVEN THUS BE HE SHAKEN OUT, AND EMPTIED. AND ALL
THE CONGREGATION SAID, AMEN, AND PRAISED THE LORD. AND THE
PEOPLE DID ACCORDING TO THIS PROMISE. 14 MOREOVER FROM
AND THERE WAS A GREAT CRY OF THE PEOPLE AND OF THEIR WIVES
THE TIME THAT I WAS APPOINTED TO BE THEIR GOVERNOR IN THE
AGAINST THEIR BRETHREN THE JEWS. 2 FOR THERE WERE THAT SAID,
LAND OF JUDAH, FROM THE TWENTIETH YEAR EVEN UNTO THE TWO
WE, OUR SONS, AND OUR DAUGHTERS, ARE MANY: THEREFORE WE
AND THIRTIETH YEAR OF ARTAXERXES THE KING, THAT IS, TWELVE
TAKE UP CORN FOR THEM, THAT WE MAY EAT, AND LIVE. 3 SOME
YEARS, I AND MY BRETHREN HAVE NOT EATEN THE BREAD OF THE
ALSO THERE WERE THAT SAID, WE HAVE MORTGAGED OUR LANDS,
GOVERNOR. 15 BUT THE FORMER GOVERNORS THAT HAD BEEN
VINEYARDS, AND HOUSES, THAT WE MIGHT BUY CORN, BECAUSE OF
BEFORE ME WERE CHARGEABLE UNTO THE PEOPLE, AND HAD TAKEN
THE DEARTH. 4 THERE WERE ALSO THAT SAID, WE HAVE BORROWED
OF THEM BREAD AND WINE, BESIDE FORTY SHEKELS OF SILVER; YEA,
MONEY FOR THE KING’S TRIBUTE, AND THAT UPON OUR LANDS AND
EVEN THEIR SERVANTS BARE RULE OVER THE PEOPLE: BUT SO DID
VINEYARDS. 5 YET NOW OUR FLESH IS AS THE FLESH OF OUR
NOT I, BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF GOD. 16 YEA, ALSO I CONTINUED
BRETHREN, OUR CHILDREN AS THEIR CHILDREN: AND, LO, WE
IN THE WORK OF THIS WALL, NEITHER BOUGHT WE ANY LAND: AND
BRING INTO BONDAGE OUR SONS AND OUR DAUGHTERS TO BE
ALL MY SERVANTS WERE GATHERED THITHER UNTO THE WORK. 17
SERVANTS, AND SOME OF OUR DAUGHTERS ARE BROUGHT UNTO
MOREOVER THERE WERE AT MY TABLE AN HUNDRED AND FIFTY OF
BONDAGE ALREADY: NEITHER IS IT IN OUR POWER TO REDEEM THEM;
THE JEWS AND RULERS, BESIDE THOSE THAT CAME UNTO US FROM
FOR OTHER MEN HAVE OUR LANDS AND VINEYARDS. 6 AND I WAS
AMONG THE HEATHEN THAT ARE ABOUT US. 18 NOW THAT WHICH
VERY ANGRY WHEN I HEARD THEIR CRY AND THESE WORDS. 7 THEN
WAS PREPARED FOR ME DAILY WAS ONE OX AND SIX CHOICE SHEEP;
I CONSULTED WITH MYSELF, AND I REBUKED THE NOBLES, AND THE
ALSO FOWLS WERE PREPARED FOR ME, AND ONCE IN TEN DAYS
RULERS, AND SAID UNTO THEM, YE EXACT USURY, EVERY ONE OF
STORE OF ALL SORTS OF WINE: YET FOR ALL THIS REQUIRED NOT I
HIS BROTHER. AND I SET A GREAT ASSEMBLY AGAINST THEM. 8 AND
THE BREAD OF THE GOVERNOR, BECAUSE THE BONDAGE WAS HEAVY
I SAID UNTO THEM, WE AFTER OUR ABILITY HAVE REDEEMED OUR
UPON THIS PEOPLE. 19 THINK UPON ME, MY GOD, FOR GOOD,
BRETHREN THE JEWS, WHICH WERE SOLD UNTO THE HEATHEN; AND
ACCORDING TO ALL THAT I HAVE DONE FOR THIS PEOPLE.
WILL YE EVEN SELL YOUR BRETHREN? OR SHALL THEY BE SOLD
UNTO US? THEN HELD THEY THEIR PEACE, AND FOUND NOTHING TO
ANSWER. 9 ALSO I SAID, IT IS NOT GOOD THAT YE DO: OUGHT YE NOT
TO WALK IN THE FEAR OF OUR GOD BECAUSE OF THE REPROACH OF
THE HEATHEN OUR ENEMIES? 10 I LIKEWISE, AND MY BRETHREN,
AND MY SERVANTS, MIGHT EXACT OF THEM MONEY AND CORN: I
PRAY YOU, LET US LEAVE OFF THIS USURY. 11 RESTORE, I PRAY YOU,
TO THEM, EVEN THIS DAY, THEIR LANDS, THEIR VINEYARDS, THEIR
OLIVEYARDS, AND THEIR HOUSES, ALSO THE HUNDREDTH PART OF
THE MONEY, AND OF THE CORN, THE WINE, AND THE OIL, THAT YE
EXACT OF THEM. 12 THEN SAID THEY, WE WILL RESTORE THEM, AND
WILL REQUIRE NOTHING OF THEM; SO WILL WE DO AS THOU SAYEST.
THEN I CALLED THE PRIESTS, AND TOOK AN OATH OF THEM, THAT
THEY SHOULD DO ACCORDING TO THIS PROMISE. 13 ALSO I SHOOK
MY LAP, AND SAID, SO GOD SHAKE OUT EVERY MAN FROM HIS
658
 NEHEMIAH
PRONOUNCED THIS PROPHECY AGAINST ME: FOR TOBIAH AND
CHAPTER 6 SANBALLAT HAD HIRED HIM. 13 THEREFORE WAS HE HIRED, THAT I
SHOULD BE AFRAID, AND DO SO, AND SIN, AND THAT THEY MIGHT
HAVE MATTER FOR AN EVIL REPORT, THAT THEY MIGHT REPROACH
NOW IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN SANBALLAT, AND TOBIAH, AND
ME. 14 MY GOD, THINK THOU UPON TOBIAH AND SANBALLAT
GESHEM THE ARABIAN, AND THE REST OF OUR ENEMIES, HEARD
ACCORDING TO THESE THEIR WORKS, AND ON THE PROPHETESS
THAT I HAD BUILDED THE WALL, AND THAT THERE WAS NO BREACH
NOADIAH, AND THE REST OF THE PROPHETS, THAT WOULD HAVE
LEFT THEREIN; (THOUGH AT THAT TIME I HAD NOT SET UP THE
PUT ME IN FEAR. 15 SO THE WALL WAS FINISHED IN THE TWENTY
DOORS UPON THE GATES;) 2 THAT SANBALLAT AND GESHEM SENT

669
 NEHEMIAH
LEVITES, PEDAIAH: AND NEXT TO THEM WAS HANAN THE SON OF
CHAPTER 13 ZACCUR, THE SON OF MATTANIAH: FOR THEY WERE COUNTED
FAITHFUL, AND THEIR OFFICE WAS TO DISTRIBUTE UNTO THEIR
BRETHREN. 14 REMEMBER ME, O MY GOD, CONCERNING THIS, AND
ON THAT DAY THEY READ IN THE BOOK OF MOSES IN THE AUDIENCE
WIPE NOT OUT MY GOOD DEEDS THAT I HAVE DONE FOR THE HOUSE
OF THE PEOPLE; AND THEREIN WAS FOUND WRITTEN, THAT THE
OF MY GOD, AND FOR THE OFFICES THEREOF. 15 IN THOSE DAYS SAW
AMMONITE AND THE MOABITE SHOULD NOT COME INTO THE
I IN JUDAH SOME TREADING WINE PRESSES ON THE SABBATH, AND
CONGREGATION OF GOD FOR EVER; 2 BECAUSE THEY MET NOT THE
BRINGING IN SHEAVES, AND LADING ASSES; AS ALSO WINE, GRAPES,
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WITH BREAD AND WITH WATER, BUT HIRED
AND FIGS, AND ALL MANNER OF BURDENS, WHICH THEY BROUGHT
BALAAM AGAINST THEM, THAT HE SHOULD CURSE THEM: HOWBEIT
INTO JERUSALEM ON THE SABBATH DAY: AND I TESTIFIED AGAINST
OUR GOD TURNED THE CURSE INTO A BLESSING. 3 NOW IT CAME TO
THEM IN THE DAY WHEREIN THEY SOLD VICTUALS. 16 THERE DWELT
PASS, WHEN THEY HAD HEARD THE LAW, THAT THEY SEPARATED
MEN OF TYRE ALSO THEREIN, WHICH BROUGHT FISH, AND ALL
FROM ISRAEL ALL THE MIXED MULTITUDE. 4 AND BEFORE THIS,
MANNER OF WARE, AND SOLD ON THE SABBATH UNTO THE
ELIASHIB THE PRIEST, HAVING THE OVERSIGHT OF THE CHAMBER OF
CHILDREN OF JUDAH, AND IN JERUSALEM. 17 THEN I CONTENDED
THE HOUSE OF OUR GOD, WAS ALLIED UNTO TOBIAH: 5 AND HE HAD
WITH THE NOBLES OF JUDAH, AND SAID UNTO THEM, WHAT EVIL
PREPARED FOR HIM A GREAT CHAMBER, WHERE AFORETIME THEY
THING IS THIS THAT YE DO, AND PROFANE THE SABBATH DAY? 18
LAID THE MEAT OFFERINGS, THE FRANKINCENSE, AND THE VESSELS,
DID NOT YOUR FATHERS THUS, AND DID NOT OUR GOD BRING ALL
AND THE TITHES OF THE CORN, THE NEW WINE, AND THE OIL,
THIS EVIL UPON US, AND UPON THIS CITY? YET YE BRING MORE
WHICH WAS COMMANDED TO BE GIVEN TO THE LEVITES, AND THE
WRATH UPON ISRAEL BY PROFANING THE SABBATH. 19 AND IT CAME
SINGERS, AND THE PORTERS; AND THE OFFERINGS OF THE PRIESTS.
TO PASS, THAT WHEN THE GATES OF JERUSALEM BEGAN TO BE DARK
6 BUT IN ALL THIS TIME WAS NOT I AT JERUSALEM: FOR IN THE TWO
BEFORE THE SABBATH, I COMMANDED THAT THE GATES SHOULD BE
AND THIRTIETH YEAR OF ARTAXERXES KING OF BABYLON CAME I
SHUT, AND CHARGED THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE OPENED TILL
UNTO THE KING, AND AFTER CERTAIN DAYS OBTAINED I LEAVE OF
AFTER THE SABBATH: AND SOME OF MY SERVANTS SET I AT THE
THE KING: 7 AND I CAME TO JERUSALEM, AND UNDERSTOOD OF THE
GATES, THAT THERE SHOULD NO BURDEN BE BROUGHT IN ON THE
EVIL THAT ELIASHIB DID FOR TOBIAH, IN PREPARING HIM A
SABBATH DAY. 20 SO THE MERCHANTS AND SELLERS OF ALL KIND
CHAMBER IN THE COURTS OF THE HOUSE OF GOD. 8 AND IT GRIEVED
OF WARE LODGED WITHOUT JERUSALEM ONCE OR TWICE. 21 THEN
ME SORE: THEREFORE I CAST FORTH ALL THE HOUSEHOLD STUFF OF
I TESTIFIED AGAINST THEM, AND SAID UNTO THEM, WHY LODGE YE
TOBIAH OUT OF THE CHAMBER. 9 THEN I COMMANDED, AND THEY
ABOUT THE WALL? IF YE DO SO AGAIN, I WILL LAY HANDS ON YOU.
CLEANSED THE CHAMBERS: AND THITHER BROUGHT I AGAIN THE
FROM THAT TIME FORTH CAME THEY NO MORE ON THE SABBATH.
VESSELS OF THE HOUSE OF GOD, WITH THE MEAT OFFERING AND
22 AND I COMMANDED THE LEVITES THAT THEY SHOULD CLEANSE
THE FRANKINCENSE. 10 AND I PERCEIVED THAT THE PORTIONS OF
THEMSELVES, AND THAT THEY SHOULD COME AND KEEP THE GATES,
THE LEVITES HAD NOT BEEN GIVEN THEM: FOR THE LEVITES AND
TO SANCTIFY THE SABBATH DAY. REMEMBER ME, O MY GOD,
THE SINGERS, THAT DID THE WORK, WERE FLED EVERY ONE TO HIS
CONCERNING THIS ALSO, AND SPARE ME ACCORDING TO THE
FIELD. 11 THEN CONTENDED I WITH THE RULERS, AND SAID, WHY IS
GREATNESS OF THY MERCY. 23 IN THOSE DAYS ALSO SAW I JEWS
THE HOUSE OF GOD FORSAKEN? AND I GATHERED THEM TOGETHER,
THAT HAD MARRIED WIVES OF ASHDOD, OF AMMON, AND OF MOAB:
AND SET THEM IN THEIR PLACE. 12 THEN BROUGHT ALL JUDAH THE
24 AND THEIR CHILDREN SPAKE HALF IN THE SPEECH OF ASHDOD,
TITHE OF THE CORN AND THE NEW WINE AND THE OIL UNTO THE
AND COULD NOT SPEAK IN THE JEWS’ LANGUAGE, BUT ACCORDING
TREASURIES. 13 AND I MADE TREASURERS OVER THE TREASURIES,
TO THE LANGUAGE OF EACH PEOPLE. 25 AND I CONTENDED WITH
SHELEMIAH THE PRIEST, AND ZADOK THE SCRIBE, AND OF THE
670
 NEHEMIAH
THEM, AND 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 UNTO YOUR SONS, OR FOR YOURSELVES. 26 DID
NOT SOLOMON KING OF ISRAEL SIN BY THESE THINGS? YET AMONG
MANY NATIONS WAS THERE NO KING LIKE HIM, WHO WAS BELOVED
OF HIS GOD, AND GOD MADE HIM KING OVER ALL ISRAEL:
NEVERTHELESS EVEN HIM DID OUTLANDISH WOMEN CAUSE TO SIN.
27 SHALL WE THEN HEARKEN UNTO YOU TO DO ALL THIS GREAT EVIL,
TO TRANSGRESS AGAINST OUR GOD IN MARRYING STRANGE WIVES?
28 AND ONE OF THE SONS OF JOIADA, THE SON OF ELIASHIB THE
HIGH PRIEST, WAS SON IN LAW TO SANBALLAT THE HORONITE:
THEREFORE I CHASED HIM FROM ME. 29 REMEMBER THEM, O MY
GOD, BECAUSE THEY HAVE DEFILED THE PRIESTHOOD, AND THE
COVENANT OF THE PRIESTHOOD, AND OF THE LEVITES. 30 THUS
CLEANSED I THEM FROM ALL STRANGERS, AND APPOINTED THE
WARDS OF THE PRIESTS AND THE LEVITES, EVERY ONE IN HIS
BUSINESS; 31 AND FOR THE WOOD OFFERING, AT TIMES APPOINTED,
AND FOR THE FIRSTFRUITS. REMEMBER ME, O MY GOD, FOR GOOD.

CHAPTER 1 WISE MEN, WHICH KNEW THE TIMES, (FOR SO WAS THE KING’S
MANNER TOWARD ALL THAT KNEW LAW AND JUDGMENT: 14 AND
THE NEXT UNTO HIM WAS CARSHENA, SHETHAR, ADMATHA,

WERE PRESENT IN SHUSHAN THE PALACE, BOTH UNTO GREAT AND
COMMANDED VASHTI THE QUEEN TO BE BROUGHT IN BEFORE HIM,
SMALL, SEVEN DAYS, IN THE COURT OF THE GARDEN OF THE KING’S

FASTENED WITH CORDS OF FINE LINEN AND PURPLE TO SILVER

UNTO ANOTHER THAT IS BETTER THAN SHE. 20 AND WHEN THE
DID COMPEL: FOR SO THE KING HAD APPOINTED TO ALL THE

CHAPTER 2 BECOME OF HER. 12 NOW WHEN EVERY MAID’S TURN WAS COME
TO GO IN TO KING AHASUERUS, AFTER THAT SHE HAD BEEN TWELVE
MONTHS, ACCORDING TO THE MANNER OF THE WOMEN, (FOR SO
AFTER THESE THINGS, WHEN THE WRATH OF KING AHASUERUS WAS

VASHTI. AND THE THING PLEASED THE KING; AND HE DID SO. 5 NOW
15 NOW WHEN THE TURN OF ESTHER, THE DAUGHTER OF ABIHAIL
IN SHUSHAN THE PALACE THERE WAS A CERTAIN JEW, WHOSE
THE UNCLE OF MORDECAI, WHO HAD TAKEN HER FOR HIS
NAME WAS MORDECAI, THE SON OF JAIR, THE SON OF SHIMEI, THE
DAUGHTER, WAS COME TO GO IN UNTO THE KING, SHE REQUIRED
SON OF KISH, A BENJAMITE; 6 WHO HAD BEEN CARRIED AWAY FROM
NOTHING BUT WHAT HEGAI THE KING’S CHAMBERLAIN, THE KEEPER

OF THE WOMEN, APPOINTED. AND ESTHER OBTAINED FAVOUR IN
WITH JECONIAH KING OF JUDAH, WHOM NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE
THE SIGHT OF ALL THEM THAT LOOKED UPON HER. 16 SO ESTHER
KING OF BABYLON HAD CARRIED AWAY. 7 AND HE BROUGHT UP
WAS TAKEN UNTO KING AHASUERUS INTO HIS HOUSE ROYAL IN THE
HADASSAH, THAT IS, ESTHER, HIS UNCLE’S DAUGHTER: FOR SHE
TENTH MONTH, WHICH IS THE MONTH TEBETH, IN THE SEVENTH
HAD NEITHER FATHER NOR MOTHER, AND THE MAID WAS FAIR AND
YEAR OF HIS REIGN. 17 AND THE KING LOVED ESTHER ABOVE ALL
BEAUTIFUL; WHOM MORDECAI, WHEN HER FATHER AND MOTHER
THE WOMEN, AND SHE OBTAINED GRACE AND FAVOUR IN HIS SIGHT
WERE DEAD, TOOK FOR HIS OWN DAUGHTER. 8 SO IT CAME TO PASS,
MORE THAN ALL THE VIRGINS; SO THAT HE SET THE ROYAL CROWN
WHEN THE KING’S COMMANDMENT AND HIS DECREE WAS HEARD,
UPON HER HEAD, AND MADE HER QUEEN INSTEAD OF VASHTI. 18
AND WHEN MANY MAIDENS WERE GATHERED TOGETHER UNTO

HEGAI, KEEPER OF THE WOMEN. 9 AND THE MAIDEN PLEASED HIM,
THE KING. 19 AND WHEN THE VIRGINS WERE GATHERED TOGETHER
AND SHE OBTAINED KINDNESS OF HIM; AND HE SPEEDILY GAVE HER
THE SECOND TIME, THEN MORDECAI SAT IN THE KING’S GATE. 20
HER THINGS FOR PURIFICATION, WITH SUCH THINGS AS BELONGED
ESTHER HAD NOT YET SHEWED HER KINDRED NOR HER PEOPLE; AS
TO HER, AND SEVEN MAIDENS, WHICH WERE MEET TO BE GIVEN
MORDECAI HAD CHARGED HER: FOR ESTHER DID THE
HER, OUT OF THE KING’S HOUSE: AND HE PREFERRED HER AND HER
COMMANDMENT OF MORDECAI, LIKE AS WHEN SHE WAS BROUGHT
MAIDS UNTO THE BEST PLACE OF THE HOUSE OF THE WOMEN. 10
UP WITH HIM. 21 IN THOSE DAYS, WHILE MORDECAI SAT IN THE
ESTHER HAD NOT SHEWED HER PEOPLE NOR HER KINDRED: FOR
KING’S GATE, TWO OF THE KING’S CHAMBERLAINS, BIGTHAN AND
MORDECAI HAD CHARGED HER THAT SHE SHOULD NOT SHEW IT. 11
TERESH, OF THOSE WHICH KEPT THE DOOR, WERE WROTH, AND
AND MORDECAI WALKED EVERY DAY BEFORE THE COURT OF THE

 ESTHER
SOUGHT TO LAY HAND ON THE KING AHASUERUS. 22 AND THE THING
WAS KNOWN TO MORDECAI, WHO TOLD IT UNTO ESTHER THE
QUEEN; AND ESTHER CERTIFIED THE KING THEREOF IN MORDECAI’S
NAME. 23 AND WHEN INQUISITION WAS MADE OF THE MATTER, IT
WAS FOUND OUT; THEREFORE THEY WERE BOTH HANGED ON A TREE:
AND IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES BEFORE
THE KING.

WERE THE KING’S SCRIBES CALLED ON THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF THE
CHAPTER 3 FIRST MONTH, AND THERE WAS WRITTEN ACCORDING TO ALL THAT
HAMAN HAD COMMANDED UNTO THE KING’S LIEUTENANTS, AND TO
THE GOVERNORS THAT WERE OVER EVERY PROVINCE, AND TO THE
AFTER THESE THINGS DID KING AHASUERUS PROMOTE HAMAN THE
RULERS OF EVERY PEOPLE OF EVERY PROVINCE ACCORDING TO THE
SON OF HAMMEDATHA THE AGAGITE, AND ADVANCED HIM, AND SET
WRITING THEREOF, AND TO EVERY PEOPLE AFTER THEIR LANGUAGE;
HIS SEAT ABOVE ALL THE PRINCES THAT WERE WITH HIM. 2 AND
IN THE NAME OF KING AHASUERUS WAS IT WRITTEN, AND SEALED
ALL THE KING’S SERVANTS, THAT WERE IN THE KING’S GATE, BOWED,
WITH THE KING’S RING. 13 AND THE LETTERS WERE SENT BY POSTS
AND REVERENCED HAMAN: FOR THE KING HAD SO COMMANDED
INTO ALL THE KING’S PROVINCES, TO DESTROY, TO KILL, AND TO
CONCERNING HIM. BUT MORDECAI BOWED NOT, NOR DID HIM
CAUSE TO PERISH, ALL JEWS, BOTH YOUNG AND OLD, LITTLE
REVERENCE. 3 THEN THE KING’S SERVANTS, WHICH WERE IN THE
CHILDREN AND WOMEN, IN ONE DAY, EVEN UPON THE THIRTEENTH
KING’S GATE, SAID UNTO MORDECAI, WHY TRANSGRESSEST THOU
DAY OF THE TWELFTH MONTH, WHICH IS THE MONTH ADAR, AND
THE KING’S COMMANDMENT? 4 NOW IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THEY
TO TAKE THE SPOIL OF THEM FOR A PREY. 14 THE COPY OF THE
SPAKE DAILY UNTO HIM, AND HE HEARKENED NOT UNTO THEM,
WRITING FOR A COMMANDMENT TO BE GIVEN IN EVERY PROVINCE
THAT THEY TOLD HAMAN, TO SEE WHETHER MORDECAI’S MATTERS
WAS PUBLISHED UNTO ALL PEOPLE, THAT THEY SHOULD BE READY
WOULD STAND: FOR HE HAD TOLD THEM THAT HE WAS A JEW. 5
AGAINST THAT DAY. 15 THE POSTS WENT OUT, BEING HASTENED BY
AND WHEN HAMAN SAW THAT MORDECAI BOWED NOT, NOR DID
THE KING’S COMMANDMENT, AND THE DECREE WAS GIVEN IN
HIM REVERENCE, THEN WAS HAMAN FULL OF WRATH. 6 AND HE
SHUSHAN THE PALACE. AND THE KING AND HAMAN SAT DOWN TO
THOUGHT SCORN TO LAY HANDS ON MORDECAI ALONE; FOR THEY
DRINK; BUT THE CITY SHUSHAN WAS PERPLEXED.
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 PEOPLE OF MORDECAI.
7 IN THE FIRST MONTH, THAT IS, THE MONTH NISAN, IN THE
TWELFTH YEAR OF KING AHASUERUS, THEY CAST PUR, THAT IS, THE
LOT, BEFORE HAMAN FROM DAY TO DAY, AND FROM MONTH TO
MONTH, TO THE TWELFTH MONTH, THAT IS, THE MONTH ADAR. 8
AND HAMAN SAID UNTO KING AHASUERUS, THERE IS A CERTAIN
PEOPLE SCATTERED ABROAD AND DISPERSED AMONG THE PEOPLE
IN ALL THE PROVINCES OF THY KINGDOM; AND THEIR LAWS ARE
DIVERSE FROM ALL PEOPLE; NEITHER KEEP THEY THE KING’S LAWS:
THEREFORE IT IS NOT FOR THE KING’S PROFIT TO SUFFER THEM. 9
IF IT PLEASE THE KING, LET IT BE WRITTEN THAT THEY MAY BE
DESTROYED: AND I WILL PAY TEN THOUSAND TALENTS OF SILVER TO
THE HANDS OF THOSE THAT HAVE THE CHARGE OF THE BUSINESS,
TO BRING IT INTO THE KING’S TREASURIES. 10 AND THE KING TOOK
HIS RING FROM HIS HAND, AND GAVE IT UNTO HAMAN THE SON OF
HAMMEDATHA THE AGAGITE, THE JEWS’ ENEMY. 11 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
676
 ESTHER
THEY TOLD TO MORDECAI ESTHER’S WORDS. 13 THEN MORDECAI
CHAPTER 4 COMMANDED TO ANSWER ESTHER, THINK NOT WITH THYSELF THAT
THOU SHALT ESCAPE IN THE KING’S HOUSE, MORE THAN ALL THE
JEWS. 14 FOR IF THOU ALTOGETHER HOLDEST THY PEACE AT THIS
WHEN MORDECAI PERCEIVED ALL THAT WAS DONE, MORDECAI
TIME, THEN SHALL THERE ENLARGEMENT AND DELIVERANCE ARISE
RENT HIS CLOTHES, AND PUT ON SACKCLOTH WITH ASHES, AND
TO THE JEWS FROM ANOTHER PLACE; BUT THOU AND THY FATHER’S
WENT OUT INTO THE MIDST OF THE CITY, AND CRIED WITH A LOUD
HOUSE SHALL BE DESTROYED: AND WHO KNOWETH WHETHER THOU
AND A BITTER CRY; 2 AND CAME EVEN BEFORE THE KING’S GATE:
ART COME TO THE KINGDOM FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS? 15 THEN
FOR NONE MIGHT ENTER INTO THE KING’S GATE CLOTHED WITH
ESTHER BADE THEM RETURN MORDECAI THIS ANSWER, 16 GO,
SACKCLOTH. 3 AND IN EVERY PROVINCE, WHITHERSOEVER THE
GATHER TOGETHER ALL THE JEWS THAT ARE PRESENT IN SHUSHAN,
KING’S COMMANDMENT AND HIS DECREE CAME, THERE WAS GREAT
AND FAST YE FOR ME, AND NEITHER EAT NOR DRINK THREE DAYS,
MOURNING AMONG THE JEWS, AND FASTING, AND WEEPING, AND
NIGHT OR DAY: I ALSO AND MY MAIDENS WILL FAST LIKEWISE; AND
WAILING; AND MANY LAY IN SACKCLOTH AND ASHES. 4 SO ESTHER’S
SO WILL I GO IN UNTO THE KING, WHICH IS NOT ACCORDING TO THE
MAIDS AND HER CHAMBERLAINS CAME AND TOLD IT HER. THEN
LAW: AND IF I PERISH, I PERISH. 17 SO MORDECAI WENT HIS WAY,
WAS THE QUEEN EXCEEDINGLY GRIEVED; AND SHE SENT RAIMENT
AND DID ACCORDING TO ALL THAT ESTHER HAD COMMANDED HIM.
TO CLOTHE MORDECAI, AND TO TAKE AWAY HIS SACKCLOTH FROM
HIM: BUT HE RECEIVED IT NOT. 5 THEN CALLED ESTHER FOR HATACH,
ONE OF THE KING’S CHAMBERLAINS, WHOM HE HAD APPOINTED TO
ATTEND UPON HER, AND GAVE HIM A COMMANDMENT TO
MORDECAI, TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS, AND WHY IT WAS. 6 SO HATACH
WENT FORTH TO MORDECAI UNTO THE STREET OF THE CITY, WHICH
WAS BEFORE THE KING’S GATE. 7 AND MORDECAI TOLD HIM OF ALL
THAT HAD HAPPENED UNTO HIM, AND OF THE SUM OF THE MONEY
THAT HAMAN HAD PROMISED TO PAY TO THE KING’S TREASURIES
FOR THE JEWS, TO DESTROY THEM. 8 ALSO HE GAVE HIM THE COPY
OF THE WRITING OF THE DECREE THAT WAS GIVEN AT SHUSHAN TO
DESTROY THEM, TO SHEW IT UNTO ESTHER, AND TO DECLARE IT
UNTO HER, AND TO CHARGE HER THAT SHE SHOULD GO IN UNTO
THE KING, TO MAKE SUPPLICATION UNTO HIM, AND TO MAKE
REQUEST BEFORE HIM FOR HER PEOPLE. 9 AND HATACH CAME AND
TOLD ESTHER THE WORDS OF MORDECAI. 10 AGAIN ESTHER SPAKE
UNTO HATACH, AND GAVE HIM COMMANDMENT UNTO MORDECAI;
11 ALL THE KING’S SERVANTS, AND THE PEOPLE OF THE KING’S
PROVINCES, DO KNOW, THAT WHOSOEVER, WHETHER MAN OR
WOMAN, SHALL COME UNTO THE KING INTO THE INNER COURT,
WHO IS NOT CALLED, THERE IS ONE LAW OF HIS TO PUT HIM TO
DEATH, EXCEPT SUCH TO WHOM THE KING SHALL HOLD OUT THE
GOLDEN SCEPTRE, THAT HE MAY LIVE: BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN
CALLED TO COME IN UNTO THE KING THESE THIRTY DAYS. 12 AND
677
 ESTHER
YEA, ESTHER THE QUEEN DID LET NO MAN COME IN WITH THE KING
CHAPTER 5 UNTO THE BANQUET THAT SHE HAD PREPARED BUT MYSELF; AND
TO MORROW AM I INVITED UNTO HER ALSO WITH THE KING. 13 YET
ALL THIS AVAILETH ME NOTHING, SO LONG AS I SEE MORDECAI THE
NOW IT CAME TO PASS ON THE THIRD DAY, THAT ESTHER PUT ON
JEW SITTING AT THE KING’S GATE. 14 THEN SAID ZERESH HIS WIFE
HER ROYAL APPAREL, AND STOOD IN THE INNER COURT OF THE
AND ALL HIS FRIENDS UNTO HIM, LET A GALLOWS BE MADE OF FIFTY
KING’S HOUSE, OVER AGAINST THE KING’S HOUSE: AND THE KING
CUBITS HIGH, AND TO MORROW SPEAK THOU UNTO THE KING THAT
SAT UPON HIS ROYAL THRONE IN THE ROYAL HOUSE, OVER AGAINST
MORDECAI MAY BE HANGED THEREON: THEN GO THOU IN MERRILY
THE GATE OF THE HOUSE. 2 AND IT WAS SO, WHEN THE KING SAW
WITH THE KING UNTO THE BANQUET. AND THE THING PLEASED
ESTHER THE QUEEN STANDING IN THE COURT, THAT SHE OBTAINED
HAMAN; AND HE CAUSED THE GALLOWS TO BE MADE.
FAVOUR IN HIS SIGHT: AND THE KING HELD OUT TO ESTHER THE
GOLDEN SCEPTRE THAT WAS IN HIS HAND. SO ESTHER DREW NEAR,
AND TOUCHED THE TOP OF THE SCEPTRE. 3 THEN SAID THE KING
UNTO HER, WHAT WILT THOU, QUEEN ESTHER? AND WHAT IS THY
REQUEST? IT SHALL BE EVEN GIVEN THEE TO THE HALF OF THE
KINGDOM. 4 AND ESTHER ANSWERED, IF IT SEEM GOOD UNTO THE
KING, LET THE KING AND HAMAN COME THIS DAY UNTO THE
BANQUET THAT I HAVE PREPARED FOR HIM. 5 THEN THE KING SAID,
CAUSE HAMAN TO MAKE HASTE, THAT HE MAY DO AS ESTHER HATH
SAID. SO THE KING AND HAMAN CAME TO THE BANQUET THAT
ESTHER HAD PREPARED. 6 AND THE KING SAID UNTO ESTHER AT THE
BANQUET OF WINE, WHAT IS THY PETITION? AND IT SHALL BE
GRANTED THEE: AND WHAT IS THY REQUEST? EVEN TO THE HALF OF
THE KINGDOM IT SHALL BE PERFORMED. 7 THEN ANSWERED ESTHER,
AND SAID, MY PETITION AND MY REQUEST IS; 8 IF I HAVE FOUND
FAVOUR IN THE SIGHT OF THE KING, AND IF IT PLEASE THE KING TO
GRANT MY PETITION, AND TO PERFORM MY REQUEST, LET THE KING
AND HAMAN COME TO THE BANQUET THAT I SHALL PREPARE FOR
THEM, AND I WILL DO TO MORROW AS THE KING HATH SAID. 9 THEN
WENT HAMAN FORTH THAT DAY JOYFUL AND WITH A GLAD HEART:
BUT WHEN HAMAN SAW MORDECAI IN THE KING’S GATE, THAT HE
STOOD NOT UP, NOR MOVED FOR HIM, HE WAS FULL OF
INDIGNATION AGAINST MORDECAI. 10 NEVERTHELESS HAMAN
REFRAINED HIMSELF: AND WHEN HE CAME HOME, HE SENT AND
CALLED FOR HIS FRIENDS, AND ZERESH HIS WIFE. 11 AND HAMAN
TOLD THEM OF THE GLORY OF HIS RICHES, AND THE MULTITUDE OF
HIS CHILDREN, AND ALL THE THINGS WHEREIN THE KING HAD
PROMOTED HIM, AND HOW HE HAD ADVANCED HIM ABOVE THE
PRINCES AND SERVANTS OF THE KING. 12 HAMAN SAID MOREOVER,
678
 ESTHER
THE MAN WHOM THE KING DELIGHTETH TO HONOUR. 12 AND
CHAPTER 6 MORDECAI CAME AGAIN TO THE KING’S GATE. BUT HAMAN HASTED
TO HIS HOUSE MOURNING, AND HAVING HIS HEAD COVERED. 13
AND HAMAN TOLD ZERESH HIS WIFE AND ALL HIS FRIENDS EVERY
ON THAT NIGHT COULD NOT THE KING SLEEP, AND HE COMMANDED
THING THAT HAD BEFALLEN HIM. THEN SAID HIS WISE MEN AND
TO BRING THE BOOK OF RECORDS OF THE CHRONICLES; AND THEY
ZERESH HIS WIFE UNTO HIM, IF MORDECAI BE OF THE SEED OF THE
WERE READ BEFORE THE KING. 2 AND IT WAS FOUND WRITTEN,
JEWS, BEFORE WHOM THOU HAST BEGUN TO FALL, THOU SHALT
THAT MORDECAI HAD TOLD OF BIGTHANA AND TERESH, TWO OF THE
NOT PREVAIL AGAINST HIM, BUT SHALT SURELY FALL BEFORE HIM.
KING’S CHAMBERLAINS, THE KEEPERS OF THE DOOR, WHO SOUGHT
14 AND WHILE THEY WERE YET TALKING WITH HIM, CAME THE
TO LAY HAND ON THE KING AHASUERUS. 3 AND THE KING SAID,
KING’S CHAMBERLAINS, AND HASTED TO BRING HAMAN UNTO THE
WHAT HONOUR AND DIGNITY HATH BEEN DONE TO MORDECAI FOR
BANQUET THAT ESTHER HAD PREPARED.
THIS? THEN SAID THE KING’S SERVANTS THAT MINISTERED UNTO
HIM, THERE IS NOTHING DONE FOR HIM. 4 AND THE KING SAID,
WHO IS IN THE COURT? NOW HAMAN WAS COME INTO THE
OUTWARD COURT OF THE KING’S HOUSE, TO SPEAK UNTO THE KING
TO HANG MORDECAI ON THE GALLOWS THAT HE HAD PREPARED FOR
HIM. 5 AND THE KING’S SERVANTS SAID UNTO HIM, BEHOLD,
HAMAN STANDETH IN THE COURT. AND THE KING SAID, LET HIM
COME IN. 6 SO HAMAN CAME IN. AND THE KING SAID UNTO HIM,
WHAT SHALL BE DONE UNTO THE MAN WHOM THE KING
DELIGHTETH TO HONOUR? NOW HAMAN THOUGHT IN HIS HEART,
TO WHOM WOULD THE KING DELIGHT TO DO HONOUR MORE THAN
TO MYSELF? 7 AND HAMAN ANSWERED THE KING, FOR THE MAN
WHOM THE KING DELIGHTETH TO HONOUR, 8 LET THE ROYAL
APPAREL BE BROUGHT WHICH THE KING USETH TO WEAR, AND THE
HORSE THAT THE KING RIDETH UPON, AND THE CROWN ROYAL
WHICH IS SET UPON HIS HEAD: 9 AND LET THIS APPAREL AND HORSE
BE DELIVERED TO THE HAND OF ONE OF THE KING’S MOST NOBLE
PRINCES, THAT THEY MAY ARRAY THE MAN WITHAL WHOM THE
KING DELIGHTETH TO HONOUR, AND BRING HIM ON HORSEBACK
THROUGH THE STREET OF THE CITY, AND PROCLAIM BEFORE HIM,
THUS SHALL IT BE DONE TO THE MAN WHOM THE KING DELIGHTETH
TO HONOUR. 10 THEN THE KING SAID TO HAMAN, MAKE HASTE, AND
TAKE THE APPAREL AND THE HORSE, AS THOU HAST SAID, AND DO
EVEN SO TO MORDECAI THE JEW, THAT SITTETH AT THE KING’S GATE:
LET NOTHING FAIL OF ALL THAT THOU HAST SPOKEN. 11 THEN TOOK
HAMAN THE APPAREL AND THE HORSE, AND ARRAYED MORDECAI,
AND BROUGHT HIM ON HORSEBACK THROUGH THE STREET OF THE
CITY, AND PROCLAIMED BEFORE HIM, THUS SHALL IT BE DONE UNTO
679
 ESTHER

CHAPTER 7
SO THE KING AND HAMAN CAME TO BANQUET WITH ESTHER THE
QUEEN. 2 AND THE KING SAID AGAIN UNTO ESTHER ON THE SECOND
DAY AT THE BANQUET OF WINE, WHAT IS THY PETITION, QUEEN
ESTHER? AND IT SHALL BE GRANTED THEE: AND WHAT IS THY
REQUEST? AND IT SHALL BE PERFORMED, EVEN TO THE HALF OF THE
KINGDOM. 3 THEN ESTHER THE QUEEN ANSWERED AND SAID, IF I
HAVE FOUND FAVOUR IN THY SIGHT, O KING, AND IF IT PLEASE THE
KING, LET MY LIFE BE GIVEN ME AT MY PETITION, AND MY PEOPLE
AT MY REQUEST: 4 FOR WE ARE SOLD, I AND MY PEOPLE, TO BE
DESTROYED, TO BE SLAIN, AND TO PERISH. BUT IF WE HAD BEEN
SOLD FOR BONDMEN AND BONDWOMEN, I HAD HELD MY TONGUE,
ALTHOUGH THE ENEMY COULD NOT COUNTERVAIL THE KING’S
DAMAGE. 5 THEN THE KING AHASUERUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO
ESTHER THE QUEEN, WHO IS HE, AND WHERE IS HE, THAT DURST
PRESUME IN HIS HEART TO DO SO? 6 AND ESTHER SAID, THE
ADVERSARY AND ENEMY IS THIS WICKED HAMAN. THEN HAMAN
WAS AFRAID BEFORE THE KING AND THE QUEEN. 7 AND THE KING
ARISING FROM THE BANQUET OF WINE IN HIS WRATH WENT INTO
THE PALACE GARDEN: AND HAMAN STOOD UP TO MAKE REQUEST
FOR HIS LIFE TO ESTHER THE QUEEN; FOR HE SAW THAT THERE WAS
EVIL DETERMINED AGAINST HIM BY THE KING. 8 THEN THE KING
RETURNED OUT OF THE PALACE GARDEN INTO THE PLACE OF THE
BANQUET OF WINE; AND HAMAN WAS FALLEN UPON THE BED
WHEREON ESTHER WAS. THEN SAID THE KING, WILL HE FORCE THE
QUEEN ALSO BEFORE ME IN THE HOUSE? AS THE WORD WENT OUT
OF THE KING’S MOUTH, THEY COVERED HAMAN’S FACE. 9 AND
HARBONAH, ONE OF THE CHAMBERLAINS, SAID BEFORE THE KING,
BEHOLD ALSO, THE GALLOWS FIFTY CUBITS HIGH, WHICH HAMAN
HAD MADE FOR MORDECAI, WHO HAD SPOKEN GOOD FOR THE KING,
STANDETH IN THE HOUSE OF HAMAN. THEN THE KING SAID, HANG
HIM THEREON. 10 SO THEY HANGED HAMAN ON THE GALLOWS THAT
HE HAD PREPARED FOR MORDECAI. THEN WAS THE KING’S WRATH
PACIFIED.

680
 ESTHER
WRITING, AND ACCORDING TO THEIR LANGUAGE. 10 AND HE WROTE
CHAPTER 8 IN THE KING AHASUERUS’ NAME, AND SEALED IT WITH THE KING’S
RING, AND SENT LETTERS BY POSTS ON HORSEBACK, AND RIDERS
ON MULES, CAMELS, AND YOUNG DROMEDARIES: 11 WHEREIN THE
ON THAT DAY DID THE KING AHASUERUS GIVE THE HOUSE OF
KING GRANTED THE JEWS WHICH WERE IN EVERY CITY TO GATHER
HAMAN THE JEWS’ ENEMY UNTO ESTHER THE QUEEN. AND
THEMSELVES TOGETHER, AND TO STAND FOR THEIR LIFE, TO
MORDECAI CAME BEFORE THE KING; FOR ESTHER HAD TOLD WHAT
DESTROY, TO SLAY, AND TO CAUSE TO PERISH, ALL THE POWER OF
HE WAS UNTO HER. 2 AND THE KING TOOK OFF HIS RING, WHICH
THE PEOPLE AND PROVINCE THAT WOULD ASSAULT THEM, BOTH
HE HAD TAKEN FROM HAMAN, AND GAVE IT UNTO MORDECAI. AND
LITTLE ONES AND WOMEN, AND TO TAKE THE SPOIL OF THEM FOR
ESTHER SET MORDECAI OVER THE HOUSE OF HAMAN. 3 AND ESTHER
A PREY, 12 UPON ONE DAY IN ALL THE PROVINCES OF KING
SPAKE YET AGAIN BEFORE THE KING, AND FELL DOWN AT HIS FEET,
AHASUERUS, NAMELY, UPON THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF THE
AND BESOUGHT HIM WITH TEARS TO PUT AWAY THE MISCHIEF OF
TWELFTH MONTH, WHICH IS THE MONTH ADAR. 13 THE COPY OF
HAMAN THE AGAGITE, AND HIS DEVICE THAT HE HAD DEVISED
THE WRITING FOR A COMMANDMENT TO BE GIVEN IN EVERY
AGAINST THE JEWS. 4 THEN THE KING HELD OUT THE GOLDEN
PROVINCE WAS PUBLISHED UNTO ALL PEOPLE, AND THAT THE JEWS
SCEPTRE TOWARD ESTHER. SO ESTHER AROSE, AND STOOD BEFORE
SHOULD BE READY AGAINST THAT DAY TO AVENGE THEMSELVES ON
THE KING, 5 AND SAID, IF IT PLEASE THE KING, AND IF I HAVE FOUND
THEIR ENEMIES. 14 SO THE POSTS THAT RODE UPON MULES AND
FAVOUR IN HIS SIGHT, AND THE THING SEEM RIGHT BEFORE THE
CAMELS WENT OUT, BEING HASTENED AND PRESSED ON BY THE
KING, AND I BE PLEASING IN HIS EYES, LET IT BE WRITTEN TO
KING’S COMMANDMENT. AND THE DECREE WAS GIVEN AT SHUSHAN
REVERSE THE LETTERS DEVISED BY HAMAN THE SON OF
THE PALACE. 15 AND MORDECAI WENT OUT FROM THE PRESENCE
HAMMEDATHA THE AGAGITE, WHICH HE WROTE TO DESTROY THE
OF THE KING IN ROYAL APPAREL OF BLUE AND WHITE, AND WITH A
JEWS WHICH ARE IN ALL THE KING’S PROVINCES: 6 FOR HOW CAN I
GREAT CROWN OF GOLD, AND WITH A GARMENT OF FINE LINEN AND
ENDURE TO SEE THE EVIL THAT SHALL COME UNTO MY PEOPLE? OR
PURPLE: AND THE CITY OF SHUSHAN REJOICED AND WAS GLAD. 16
HOW CAN I ENDURE TO SEE THE DESTRUCTION OF MY KINDRED? 7
THE JEWS HAD LIGHT, AND GLADNESS, AND JOY, AND HONOUR. 17
THEN THE KING AHASUERUS SAID UNTO ESTHER THE QUEEN AND
AND IN EVERY PROVINCE, AND IN EVERY CITY, WHITHERSOEVER THE
TO MORDECAI THE JEW, BEHOLD, I HAVE GIVEN ESTHER THE HOUSE
KING’S COMMANDMENT AND HIS DECREE CAME, THE JEWS HAD JOY
OF HAMAN, AND HIM THEY HAVE HANGED UPON THE GALLOWS,
AND GLADNESS, A FEAST AND A GOOD DAY. AND MANY OF THE
BECAUSE HE LAID HIS HAND UPON THE JEWS. 8 WRITE YE ALSO FOR
PEOPLE OF THE LAND BECAME JEWS; FOR THE FEAR OF THE JEWS
THE JEWS, AS IT LIKETH YOU, IN THE KING’S NAME, AND SEAL IT
FELL UPON THEM.
WITH THE KING’S RING: FOR THE WRITING WHICH IS WRITTEN IN
THE KING’S NAME, AND SEALED WITH THE KING’S RING, MAY NO
MAN REVERSE. 9 THEN WERE THE KING’S SCRIBES CALLED AT THAT
TIME IN THE THIRD MONTH, THAT IS, THE MONTH SIVAN, ON THE
THREE AND TWENTIETH DAY THEREOF; AND IT WAS WRITTEN
ACCORDING TO ALL THAT MORDECAI COMMANDED UNTO THE JEWS,
AND TO THE LIEUTENANTS, AND THE DEPUTIES AND RULERS OF THE
PROVINCES WHICH ARE FROM INDIA UNTO ETHIOPIA, AN HUNDRED
TWENTY AND SEVEN PROVINCES, UNTO EVERY PROVINCE

CHAPTER 9 IT SO TO BE DONE: AND THE DECREE WAS GIVEN AT SHUSHAN; AND
THEY HANGED HAMAN’S TEN SONS. 15 FOR THE JEWS THAT WERE
IN SHUSHAN GATHERED THEMSELVES TOGETHER ON THE

PROVINCES GATHERED THEMSELVES TOGETHER, AND STOOD FOR
THEM, (THOUGH IT WAS TURNED TO THE CONTRARY, THAT THE
THEIR LIVES, AND HAD REST FROM THEIR ENEMIES, AND SLEW OF
JEWS HAD RULE OVER THEM THAT HATED THEM;) 2 THE JEWS
THEIR FOES SEVENTY AND FIVE THOUSAND, BUT THEY LAID NOT
GATHERED THEMSELVES TOGETHER IN THEIR CITIES THROUGHOUT
THEIR HANDS ON THE PREY, 17 ON THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF THE

THEM; FOR THE FEAR OF THEM FELL UPON ALL PEOPLE. 3 AND ALL
JEWS THAT WERE AT SHUSHAN ASSEMBLED TOGETHER ON THE
THE RULERS OF THE PROVINCES, AND THE LIEUTENANTS, AND THE
THIRTEENTH DAY THEREOF, AND ON THE FOURTEENTH THEREOF;
DEPUTIES, AND OFFICERS OF THE KING, HELPED THE JEWS; BECAUSE
AND ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE SAME THEY RESTED, AND MADE
THE FEAR OF MORDECAI FELL UPON THEM. 4 FOR MORDECAI WAS
IT A DAY OF FEASTING AND GLADNESS. 19 THEREFORE THE JEWS OF
GREAT IN THE KING’S HOUSE, AND HIS FAME WENT OUT

WAXED GREATER AND GREATER. 5 THUS THE JEWS SMOTE ALL THEIR
FEASTING, AND A GOOD DAY, AND OF SENDING PORTIONS ONE TO

ANOTHER. 20 AND MORDECAI WROTE THESE THINGS, AND SENT
DESTRUCTION, AND DID WHAT THEY WOULD UNTO THOSE THAT
LETTERS UNTO ALL THE JEWS THAT WERE IN ALL THE PROVINCES
HATED THEM. 6 AND IN SHUSHAN THE PALACE THE JEWS SLEW AND

ENEMIES, AND THE MONTH WHICH WAS TURNED UNTO THEM FROM
HAMMEDATHA, THE ENEMY OF THE JEWS, SLEW THEY; BUT ON THE
SORROW TO JOY, AND FROM MOURNING INTO A GOOD DAY: THAT
SPOIL LAID THEY NOT THEIR HAND. 11 ON THAT DAY THE NUMBER
THEY SHOULD MAKE THEM DAYS OF FEASTING AND JOY, AND OF
OF THOSE THAT WERE SLAIN IN SHUSHAN THE PALACE WAS
SENDING PORTIONS ONE TO ANOTHER, AND GIFTS TO THE POOR. 23
BROUGHT BEFORE THE KING. 12 AND THE KING SAID UNTO ESTHER
AND THE JEWS UNDERTOOK TO DO AS THEY HAD BEGUN, AND AS
THE QUEEN, THE JEWS HAVE SLAIN AND DESTROYED FIVE HUNDRED
MORDECAI HAD WRITTEN UNTO THEM; 24 BECAUSE HAMAN THE
MEN IN SHUSHAN THE PALACE, AND THE TEN SONS OF HAMAN;
SON OF HAMMEDATHA, THE AGAGITE, THE ENEMY OF ALL THE JEWS,
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE IN THE REST OF THE KING’S PROVINCES?
HAD DEVISED AGAINST THE JEWS TO DESTROY THEM, AND HAD CAST
NOW WHAT IS THY PETITION? AND IT SHALL BE GRANTED THEE: OR
PUR, THAT IS, THE LOT, TO CONSUME THEM, AND TO DESTROY THEM;
WHAT IS THY REQUEST FURTHER? AND IT SHALL BE DONE. 13 THEN
25 BUT WHEN ESTHER CAME BEFORE THE KING, HE COMMANDED
SAID ESTHER, IF IT PLEASE THE KING, LET IT BE GRANTED TO THE
BY LETTERS THAT HIS WICKED DEVICE, WHICH HE DEVISED AGAINST
JEWS WHICH ARE IN SHUSHAN TO DO TO MORROW ALSO
THE JEWS, SHOULD RETURN UPON HIS OWN HEAD, AND THAT HE
ACCORDING UNTO THIS DAY’S DECREE, AND LET HAMAN’S TEN SONS
682
 ESTHER
AND HIS SONS SHOULD BE HANGED ON THE GALLOWS. 26
WHEREFORE THEY CALLED THESE DAYS PURIM AFTER THE NAME OF
PUR. THEREFORE FOR ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LETTER, AND OF
THAT WHICH THEY HAD SEEN CONCERNING THIS MATTER, AND
WHICH HAD COME UNTO THEM, 27 THE JEWS ORDAINED, AND TOOK
UPON THEM, AND UPON THEIR SEED, AND UPON ALL SUCH AS
JOINED THEMSELVES UNTO THEM, SO AS IT SHOULD NOT FAIL, THAT
THEY WOULD KEEP THESE TWO DAYS ACCORDING TO THEIR WRITING,
AND ACCORDING TO THEIR APPOINTED TIME EVERY YEAR; 28 AND
THAT THESE DAYS SHOULD BE REMEMBERED AND KEPT
THROUGHOUT EVERY GENERATION, EVERY FAMILY, EVERY
PROVINCE, AND EVERY CITY; AND THAT THESE DAYS OF PURIM
SHOULD NOT FAIL FROM AMONG THE JEWS, NOR THE MEMORIAL OF
THEM PERISH FROM THEIR SEED. 29 THEN ESTHER THE QUEEN, THE
DAUGHTER OF ABIHAIL, AND MORDECAI THE JEW, WROTE WITH ALL
AUTHORITY, TO CONFIRM THIS SECOND LETTER OF PURIM. 30 AND
HE SENT THE LETTERS UNTO ALL THE JEWS, TO THE HUNDRED
TWENTY AND SEVEN PROVINCES OF THE KINGDOM OF AHASUERUS,
WITH WORDS OF PEACE AND TRUTH, 31 TO CONFIRM THESE DAYS
OF PURIM IN THEIR TIMES APPOINTED, ACCORDING AS MORDECAI
THE JEW AND ESTHER THE QUEEN HAD ENJOINED THEM, AND AS
THEY HAD DECREED FOR THEMSELVES AND FOR THEIR SEED, THE
MATTERS OF THE FASTINGS AND THEIR CRY. 32 AND THE DECREE OF
ESTHER CONFIRMED THESE MATTERS OF PURIM; AND IT WAS
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK.

AND OF HIS MIGHT, AND THE DECLARATION OF THE GREATNESS OF

WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES OF THE KINGS OF MEDIA

LORD. 22 IN ALL THIS JOB SINNED NOT, NOR CHARGED GOD
SAID UNTO SATAN, HAST THOU CONSIDERED MY SERVANT JOB, THAT
FOOLISHLY.
THERE IS NONE LIKE HIM IN THE EARTH, A PERFECT AND AN
UPRIGHT MAN, ONE THAT FEARETH GOD, AND ESCHEWETH EVIL? 9
THEN SATAN ANSWERED THE LORD, AND SAID, DOTH JOB FEAR GOD
FOR NOUGHT? 10 HAST NOT THOU MADE AN HEDGE ABOUT HIM,
AND ABOUT HIS HOUSE, AND ABOUT ALL THAT HE HATH ON EVERY
SIDE? THOU HAST BLESSED THE WORK OF HIS HANDS, AND HIS
SUBSTANCE IS INCREASED IN THE LAND. 11 BUT PUT FORTH THINE
HAND NOW, AND TOUCH ALL THAT HE HATH, AND HE WILL CURSE
THEE TO THY FACE. 12 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO SATAN, BEHOLD,
ALL THAT HE HATH IS IN THY POWER; ONLY UPON HIMSELF PUT NOT
FORTH THINE HAND. SO SATAN WENT FORTH FROM THE PRESENCE
OF THE LORD. 13 AND THERE WAS A DAY WHEN HIS SONS AND HIS
DAUGHTERS WERE EATING AND DRINKING WINE IN THEIR ELDEST
686
 JOB
NONE SPAKE A WORD UNTO HIM: FOR THEY SAW THAT HIS GRIEF
CHAPTER 2 WAS VERY GREAT.

AGAIN THERE WAS A DAY WHEN THE SONS OF GOD CAME TO

PRESENT THEMSELVES BEFORE THE LORD, AND SATAN CAME ALSO
AMONG THEM TO PRESENT HIMSELF BEFORE THE LORD. 2 AND THE
LORD SAID UNTO SATAN, FROM WHENCE COMEST THOU? AND
SATAN ANSWERED THE LORD, AND SAID, FROM GOING TO AND FRO
IN THE EARTH, AND FROM WALKING UP AND DOWN IN IT. 3 AND
THE LORD SAID UNTO SATAN, HAST THOU CONSIDERED MY SERVANT
JOB, THAT THERE IS NONE LIKE HIM IN THE EARTH, A PERFECT AND
AN UPRIGHT MAN, ONE THAT FEARETH GOD, AND ESCHEWETH EVIL?
AND STILL HE HOLDETH FAST HIS INTEGRITY, ALTHOUGH THOU
MOVEDST ME AGAINST HIM, TO DESTROY HIM WITHOUT CAUSE. 4
AND SATAN ANSWERED THE LORD, AND SAID, SKIN FOR SKIN, YEA,
ALL THAT A MAN HATH WILL HE GIVE FOR HIS LIFE. 5 BUT PUT FORTH
THINE HAND NOW, AND TOUCH HIS BONE AND HIS FLESH, AND HE
WILL CURSE THEE TO THY FACE. 6 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO SATAN,
BEHOLD, HE IS IN THINE HAND; BUT SAVE HIS LIFE. 7 SO WENT
SATAN FORTH FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, AND SMOTE JOB
WITH SORE BOILS FROM THE SOLE OF HIS FOOT UNTO HIS CROWN.
8 AND HE TOOK HIM A POTSHERD TO SCRAPE HIMSELF WITHAL; AND
HE SAT DOWN AMONG THE ASHES. 9 THEN SAID HIS WIFE UNTO HIM,
DOST THOU STILL RETAIN THINE INTEGRITY? CURSE GOD, AND DIE.
10 BUT HE SAID UNTO HER, THOU SPEAKEST AS ONE OF THE FOOLISH
WOMEN SPEAKETH. WHAT? SHALL WE RECEIVE GOOD AT THE HAND
OF GOD, AND SHALL WE NOT RECEIVE EVIL? IN ALL THIS DID NOT
JOB SIN WITH HIS LIPS. 11 NOW WHEN JOB’S THREE FRIENDS HEARD
OF ALL THIS EVIL THAT WAS COME UPON HIM, THEY CAME EVERY
ONE FROM HIS OWN PLACE; ELIPHAZ THE TEMANITE, AND BILDAD
THE SHUHITE, AND ZOPHAR THE NAAMATHITE: FOR THEY HAD MADE
AN APPOINTMENT TOGETHER TO COME TO MOURN WITH HIM AND
TO COMFORT HIM. 12 AND WHEN THEY LIFTED UP THEIR EYES AFAR
OFF, AND KNEW HIM NOT, THEY LIFTED UP THEIR VOICE, AND WEPT;
AND THEY RENT EVERY ONE HIS MANTLE, AND SPRINKLED DUST
UPON THEIR HEADS TOWARD HEAVEN. 13 SO THEY SAT DOWN WITH
HIM UPON THE GROUND SEVEN DAYS AND SEVEN NIGHTS, AND

687
 JOB
ROARINGS ARE POURED OUT LIKE THE WATERS. 25 FOR THE THING
CHAPTER 3 WHICH I GREATLY FEARED IS COME UPON ME, AND THAT WHICH I
WAS AFRAID OF IS COME UNTO ME. 26 I WAS NOT IN SAFETY,
NEITHER HAD I REST, NEITHER WAS I QUIET; YET TROUBLE CAME.
AFTER THIS OPENED JOB HIS MOUTH, AND CURSED HIS DAY. 2 AND
JOB SPAKE, AND SAID, 3 LET THE DAY PERISH WHEREIN I WAS BORN,
AND THE NIGHT IN WHICH IT WAS SAID, THERE IS A MAN CHILD
CONCEIVED. 4 LET THAT DAY BE DARKNESS; LET NOT GOD REGARD
IT FROM ABOVE, NEITHER LET THE LIGHT SHINE UPON IT. 5 LET
DARKNESS AND THE SHADOW OF DEATH STAIN IT; LET A CLOUD
DWELL UPON IT; LET THE BLACKNESS OF THE DAY TERRIFY IT. 6 AS
FOR THAT NIGHT, LET DARKNESS SEIZE UPON IT; LET IT NOT BE
JOINED UNTO THE DAYS OF THE YEAR, LET IT NOT COME INTO THE
NUMBER OF THE MONTHS. 7 LO, LET THAT NIGHT BE SOLITARY, LET
NO JOYFUL VOICE COME THEREIN. 8 LET THEM CURSE IT THAT
CURSE THE DAY, WHO ARE READY TO RAISE UP THEIR MOURNING. 9
LET THE STARS OF THE TWILIGHT THEREOF BE DARK; LET IT LOOK
FOR LIGHT, BUT HAVE NONE; NEITHER LET IT SEE THE DAWNING OF
THE DAY: 10 BECAUSE IT SHUT NOT UP THE DOORS OF MY MOTHER’S
WOMB, NOR HID SORROW FROM MINE EYES. 11 WHY DIED I NOT
FROM THE WOMB? WHY DID I NOT GIVE UP THE GHOST WHEN I
CAME OUT OF THE BELLY? 12 WHY DID THE KNEES PREVENT ME? OR
WHY THE BREASTS THAT I SHOULD SUCK? 13 FOR NOW SHOULD I
HAVE LAIN STILL AND BEEN QUIET, I SHOULD HAVE SLEPT: THEN
HAD I BEEN AT REST, 14 WITH KINGS AND COUNSELLERS OF THE
EARTH, WHICH BUILT DESOLATE PLACES FOR THEMSELVES; 15 OR
WITH PRINCES THAT HAD GOLD, WHO FILLED THEIR HOUSES WITH
SILVER: 16 OR AS AN HIDDEN UNTIMELY BIRTH I HAD NOT BEEN; AS
INFANTS WHICH NEVER SAW LIGHT. 17 THERE THE WICKED CEASE
FROM TROUBLING; AND THERE THE WEARY BE AT REST. 18 THERE
THE PRISONERS REST TOGETHER; THEY HEAR NOT THE VOICE OF THE
OPPRESSOR. 19 THE SMALL AND GREAT ARE THERE; AND THE
SERVANT IS FREE FROM HIS MASTER. 20 WHEREFORE IS LIGHT GIVEN
TO HIM THAT IS IN MISERY, AND LIFE UNTO THE BITTER IN SOUL; 21
WHICH LONG FOR DEATH, BUT IT COMETH NOT; AND DIG FOR IT
MORE THAN FOR HID TREASURES; 22 WHICH REJOICE EXCEEDINGLY,
AND ARE GLAD, WHEN THEY CAN FIND THE GRAVE? 23 WHY IS LIGHT
GIVEN TO A MAN WHOSE WAY IS HID, AND WHOM GOD HATH
HEDGED IN? 24 FOR MY SIGHING COMETH BEFORE I EAT, AND MY
688

CHAPTER 4
THEN ELIPHAZ THE TEMANITE ANSWERED AND SAID, 2 IF WE 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 STRENGTHENED THE FEEBLE KNEES. 5 BUT NOW IT
IS COME UPON THEE, AND THOU FAINTEST; IT TOUCHETH THEE, AND
THOU ART TROUBLED. 6 IS NOT THIS THY FEAR, THY CONFIDENCE,
THY HOPE, AND THE UPRIGHTNESS OF THY WAYS? 7 REMEMBER, I
PRAY THEE, WHO EVER PERISHED, BEING INNOCENT? OR WHERE
WERE THE RIGHTEOUS CUT OFF? 8 EVEN AS I HAVE SEEN, THEY THAT
PLOW INIQUITY, AND SOW WICKEDNESS, REAP THE SAME. 9 BY THE
BLAST OF GOD THEY PERISH, AND BY THE BREATH OF HIS NOSTRILS
ARE THEY CONSUMED. 10 THE ROARING OF THE LION, AND THE
VOICE OF THE FIERCE LION, AND THE TEETH OF THE YOUNG LIONS,
ARE BROKEN. 11 THE OLD LION PERISHETH FOR LACK OF PREY, AND
THE STOUT LION’S WHELPS ARE SCATTERED ABROAD. 12 NOW A
THING WAS SECRETLY BROUGHT TO ME, AND MINE EAR RECEIVED A
LITTLE THEREOF. 13 IN THOUGHTS 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 A
SPIRIT PASSED BEFORE MY FACE; THE HAIR OF MY FLESH STOOD UP:
16 IT STOOD STILL, BUT I COULD NOT DISCERN THE FORM THEREOF:
AN IMAGE WAS BEFORE MINE EYES, THERE WAS SILENCE, AND I
HEARD A VOICE, SAYING, 17 SHALL MORTAL MAN BE MORE JUST
THAN GOD? SHALL A MAN BE MORE PURE THAN HIS MAKER? 18
BEHOLD, HE PUT NO TRUST IN HIS SERVANTS; AND HIS ANGELS HE
CHARGED WITH FOLLY: 19 HOW MUCH LESS IN THEM THAT DWELL
IN HOUSES OF CLAY, WHOSE FOUNDATION IS IN THE DUST, WHICH
ARE CRUSHED BEFORE THE MOTH? 20 THEY ARE DESTROYED FROM
MORNING TO EVENING: THEY PERISH FOR EVER WITHOUT ANY
REGARDING IT. 21 DOTH NOT THEIR EXCELLENCY WHICH IS IN THEM
GO AWAY? THEY DIE, EVEN WITHOUT WISDOM.

MARVELLOUS THINGS WITHOUT NUMBER: 10 WHO GIVETH RAIN
UPON THE EARTH, AND SENDETH WATERS UPON THE FIELDS: 11 TO
SET UP ON HIGH THOSE THAT BE LOW; THAT THOSE WHICH MOURN
MAY BE EXALTED TO SAFETY. 12 HE DISAPPOINTETH THE DEVICES OF
THE CRAFTY, SO THAT THEIR HANDS CANNOT PERFORM THEIR
ENTERPRISE. 13 HE TAKETH THE WISE IN THEIR OWN CRAFTINESS:
AND THE COUNSEL OF THE FROWARD IS CARRIED HEADLONG. 14
THEY MEET WITH DARKNESS IN THE DAYTIME, AND GROPE IN THE
NOONDAY AS IN THE NIGHT. 15 BUT HE SAVETH THE POOR FROM
THE SWORD, FROM THEIR MOUTH, AND FROM THE HAND OF THE

IS THERE NOT AN APPOINTED TIME TO MAN UPON EARTH? ARE NOT

HIS DAYS ALSO LIKE THE DAYS OF AN HIRELING? 2 AS A SERVANT
EARNESTLY DESIRETH THE SHADOW, AND AS AN HIRELING LOOKETH
FOR THE REWARD OF HIS WORK: 3 SO AM I MADE TO POSSESS
MONTHS OF VANITY, AND WEARISOME NIGHTS ARE APPOINTED TO

NIGHT BE GONE? AND I AM FULL OF TOSSINGS TO AND FRO UNTO
THE DAWNING OF THE DAY. 5 MY FLESH IS CLOTHED WITH WORMS
AND CLODS OF DUST; MY SKIN IS BROKEN, AND BECOME
LOATHSOME. 6 MY DAYS ARE SWIFTER THAN A WEAVER’S SHUTTLE,
AND ARE SPENT WITHOUT HOPE. 7 O REMEMBER THAT MY LIFE IS
WIND: MINE EYE SHALL NO MORE SEE GOOD. 8 THE EYE OF HIM
THAT HATH SEEN ME SHALL SEE ME NO MORE: THINE EYES ARE
UPON ME, AND I AM NOT. 9 AS THE CLOUD IS CONSUMED AND
VANISHETH AWAY: SO HE THAT GOETH DOWN TO THE GRAVE SHALL
COME UP NO MORE. 10 HE SHALL RETURN NO MORE TO HIS HOUSE,
NEITHER SHALL HIS PLACE KNOW HIM ANY MORE. 11 THEREFORE I

WILT THOU SPEAK THESE THINGS? AND HOW LONG SHALL THE
WORDS OF THY MOUTH BE LIKE A STRONG WIND? 3 DOTH GOD
PERVERT JUDGMENT? OR DOTH THE ALMIGHTY PERVERT JUSTICE? 4
IF THY CHILDREN HAVE SINNED AGAINST HIM, AND HE HAVE CAST
THEM AWAY FOR THEIR TRANSGRESSION; 5 IF THOU WOULDEST
SEEK UNTO GOD BETIMES, AND MAKE THY SUPPLICATION TO THE
ALMIGHTY; 6 IF THOU WERT PURE AND UPRIGHT; SURELY NOW HE
WOULD AWAKE FOR THEE, AND MAKE THE HABITATION OF THY
RIGHTEOUSNESS PROSPEROUS. 7 THOUGH THY BEGINNING WAS
SMALL, YET THY LATTER END SHOULD GREATLY INCREASE. 8 FOR
INQUIRE, I PRAY THEE, OF THE FORMER AGE, AND PREPARE THYSELF
TO THE SEARCH OF THEIR FATHERS: 9 (FOR WE ARE BUT OF
YESTERDAY, AND KNOW NOTHING, BECAUSE OUR DAYS UPON
EARTH ARE A SHADOW:) 10 SHALL NOT THEY TEACH THEE, AND TELL

GROW UP WITHOUT MIRE? CAN THE FLAG GROW WITHOUT WATER?
12 WHILST IT IS YET IN HIS GREENNESS, AND NOT CUT DOWN, IT

WHOSE HOPE SHALL BE CUT OFF, AND WHOSE TRUST SHALL BE A
SPIDER’S WEB. 15 HE SHALL LEAN UPON HIS HOUSE, BUT IT SHALL
NOT STAND: HE SHALL HOLD IT FAST, BUT IT SHALL NOT ENDURE.
16 HE IS GREEN BEFORE THE SUN, AND HIS BRANCH SHOOTETH
FORTH IN HIS GARDEN. 17 HIS ROOTS ARE WRAPPED ABOUT THE

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 EARTH SHALL OTHERS GROW. 20 BEHOLD, GOD WILL NOT CAST
AWAY A PERFECT MAN, NEITHER WILL HE HELP THE EVIL DOERS: 21
TILL HE FILL THY MOUTH WITH LAUGHING, AND THY LIPS WITH

UNTO HIM, WHAT DOEST THOU? 13 IF GOD WILL NOT WITHDRAW
HIS ANGER, THE PROUD HELPERS 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, BUT I WOULD MAKE SUPPLICATION TO MY
JUDGE. 16 IF I HAD CALLED, AND HE HAD ANSWERED ME; YET
WOULD I NOT BELIEVE THAT HE HAD HEARKENED UNTO MY VOICE.
17 FOR HE BREAKETH ME WITH A TEMPEST, AND MULTIPLIETH MY
WOUNDS WITHOUT CAUSE. 18 HE WILL NOT SUFFER ME TO TAKE MY
BREATH, BUT FILLETH ME WITH BITTERNESS. 19 IF I SPEAK OF
STRENGTH, LO, HE IS STRONG: AND IF OF JUDGMENT, WHO SHALL
SET ME A TIME TO PLEAD? 20 IF I JUSTIFY MYSELF, MINE OWN
MOUTH SHALL CONDEMN ME: IF I SAY, I AM PERFECT, IT SHALL ALSO
PROVE ME PERVERSE. 21 THOUGH I WERE PERFECT, YET WOULD I
NOT KNOW MY SOUL: I WOULD DESPISE MY LIFE. 22 THIS IS ONE
THING, THEREFORE I SAID IT, HE DESTROYETH THE PERFECT AND
THE WICKED. 23 IF THE SCOURGE SLAY SUDDENLY, HE WILL LAUGH

THOU CONTENDEST WITH ME. 3 IS IT GOOD UNTO THEE THAT THOU
SHOULDEST OPPRESS, THAT THOU SHOULDEST DESPISE THE WORK
OF THINE HANDS, AND SHINE UPON THE COUNSEL OF THE WICKED?

THAT THOU INQUIREST AFTER MINE INIQUITY, AND SEARCHEST
AFTER MY SIN? 7 THOU KNOWEST THAT I AM NOT WICKED; AND
THERE IS NONE THAT CAN DELIVER OUT OF THINE HAND. 8 THINE
HANDS HAVE MADE ME AND FASHIONED ME TOGETHER ROUND
ABOUT; YET THOU DOST DESTROY ME. 9 REMEMBER, I BESEECH

BRING ME INTO DUST AGAIN? 10 HAST THOU NOT POURED ME OUT
AS MILK, AND CURDLED ME LIKE CHEESE? 11 THOU HAST CLOTHED

SHOULD HAVE BEEN CARRIED FROM THE WOMB TO THE GRAVE. 20

MAKE THEE ASHAMED? 4 FOR THOU HAST SAID, MY DOCTRINE IS
PURE, AND I AM CLEAN IN THINE EYES. 5 BUT OH THAT GOD WOULD
SPEAK, AND OPEN HIS LIPS AGAINST THEE; 6 AND THAT HE WOULD
SHEW THEE THE SECRETS OF WISDOM, THAT THEY ARE DOUBLE TO
THAT WHICH IS! KNOW THEREFORE THAT GOD EXACTETH OF THEE
LESS THAN THINE INIQUITY DESERVETH. 7 CANST THOU BY
SEARCHING FIND OUT GOD? CANST THOU FIND OUT THE ALMIGHTY
UNTO PERFECTION? 8 IT IS AS HIGH AS HEAVEN; WHAT CANST THOU
DO? DEEPER THAN HELL; WHAT CANST THOU KNOW? 9 THE
MEASURE THEREOF IS LONGER THAN THE EARTH, AND BROADER
THAN THE SEA. 10 IF HE CUT OFF, AND SHUT UP, OR GATHER
TOGETHER, THEN WHO CAN HINDER HIM? 11 FOR HE KNOWETH
VAIN MEN: HE SEETH WICKEDNESS ALSO; WILL HE NOT THEN
CONSIDER IT? 12 FOR VAIN MAN WOULD BE WISE, THOUGH MAN BE
BORN LIKE A WILD ASS’S COLT. 13 IF THOU PREPARE THINE HEART,
AND STRETCH OUT THINE HANDS TOWARD HIM; 14 IF INIQUITY BE
IN THINE HAND, PUT IT FAR AWAY, AND LET NOT WICKEDNESS
DWELL IN THY TABERNACLES. 15 FOR THEN SHALT THOU LIFT UP
THY FACE WITHOUT SPOT; YEA, THOU SHALT BE STEDFAST, AND

INTO WHOSE HAND GOD BRINGETH ABUNDANTLY. 7 BUT ASK NOW
THE BEASTS, AND THEY SHALL TEACH THEE; AND THE FOWLS OF THE
AIR, AND THEY SHALL TELL THEE: 8 OR SPEAK TO THE EARTH, AND
IT SHALL TEACH THEE: AND THE FISHES OF THE SEA SHALL DECLARE
UNTO THEE. 9 WHO KNOWETH NOT IN ALL THESE THAT THE HAND
OF THE LORD HATH WROUGHT THIS? 10 IN WHOSE HAND IS THE
SOUL OF EVERY LIVING THING, AND THE BREATH OF ALL MANKIND.
11 DOTH NOT THE EAR TRY WORDS? AND THE MOUTH TASTE HIS
MEAT? 12 WITH THE ANCIENT IS WISDOM; AND IN LENGTH OF DAYS
UNDERSTANDING. 13 WITH HIM IS WISDOM AND STRENGTH, HE
HATH COUNSEL AND UNDERSTANDING. 14 BEHOLD, HE BREAKETH
DOWN, AND IT CANNOT BE BUILT AGAIN: HE SHUTTETH UP A MAN,
AND THERE CAN BE NO OPENING. 15 BEHOLD, HE WITHHOLDETH
THE WATERS, AND THEY DRY UP: ALSO HE SENDETH THEM OUT, AND
THEY OVERTURN THE EARTH. 16 WITH HIM IS STRENGTH AND
WISDOM: THE DECEIVED AND THE DECEIVER ARE HIS. 17 HE
LEADETH COUNSELLERS AWAY SPOILED, AND MAKETH THE JUDGES
FOOLS. 18 HE LOOSETH THE BOND OF KINGS, AND GIRDETH THEIR
LOINS WITH A GIRDLE. 19 HE LEADETH PRINCES AWAY SPOILED, AND
OVERTHROWETH THE MIGHTY. 20 HE REMOVETH AWAY THE SPEECH
OF THE TRUSTY, AND TAKETH AWAY THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE
AGED. 21 HE POURETH CONTEMPT UPON PRINCES, AND
WEAKENETH THE STRENGTH OF THE MIGHTY. 22 HE DISCOVERETH
DEEP THINGS OUT OF DARKNESS, AND BRINGETH OUT TO LIGHT THE
SHADOW OF DEATH. 23 HE INCREASETH THE NATIONS, AND
DESTROYETH THEM: HE ENLARGETH THE NATIONS, AND

LO, MINE EYE HATH SEEN ALL THIS, MINE EAR HATH HEARD AND
UNDERSTOOD IT. 2 WHAT YE KNOW, THE SAME DO I KNOW ALSO: I
AM NOT INFERIOR UNTO YOU. 3 SURELY I WOULD SPEAK TO THE
ALMIGHTY, AND I DESIRE TO REASON WITH GOD. 4 BUT YE ARE
FORGERS OF LIES, YE ARE ALL PHYSICIANS OF NO VALUE. 5 O THAT
YE WOULD ALTOGETHER HOLD YOUR PEACE! AND IT SHOULD BE
YOUR WISDOM. 6 HEAR NOW MY REASONING, AND HEARKEN TO THE
PLEADINGS OF MY LIPS. 7 WILL YE SPEAK WICKEDLY FOR GOD? AND
TALK DECEITFULLY FOR HIM? 8 WILL YE ACCEPT HIS PERSON? WILL
YE CONTEND FOR GOD? 9 IS IT GOOD THAT HE SHOULD SEARCH YOU
OUT? OR AS ONE MAN MOCKETH ANOTHER, DO YE SO MOCK HIM?
10 HE WILL SURELY REPROVE YOU, IF YE DO SECRETLY ACCEPT
PERSONS. 11 SHALL NOT HIS EXCELLENCY MAKE YOU AFRAID? AND
HIS DREAD FALL UPON YOU? 12 YOUR REMEMBRANCES ARE LIKE
UNTO ASHES, YOUR BODIES TO BODIES OF CLAY. 13 HOLD YOUR
PEACE, LET ME ALONE, THAT I MAY SPEAK, AND LET COME ON ME
WHAT WILL. 14 WHEREFORE DO I TAKE MY FLESH IN MY TEETH, AND
PUT MY LIFE IN MINE HAND? 15 THOUGH HE SLAY ME, YET WILL I
TRUST IN HIM: BUT I WILL MAINTAIN MINE OWN WAYS BEFORE HIM.
16 HE ALSO SHALL BE MY SALVATION: FOR AN HYPOCRITE SHALL
NOT COME BEFORE HIM. 17 HEAR DILIGENTLY MY SPEECH, AND MY
DECLARATION WITH YOUR EARS. 18 BEHOLD NOW, I HAVE ORDERED
MY CAUSE; I KNOW THAT I SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. 19 WHO IS HE THAT
WILL PLEAD WITH ME? FOR NOW, IF I HOLD MY TONGUE, I SHALL
GIVE UP THE GHOST. 20 ONLY DO NOT TWO THINGS UNTO ME: THEN
WILL I NOT HIDE MYSELF FROM THEE. 21 WITHDRAW THINE HAND
FAR FROM ME: AND LET NOT THY DREAD MAKE ME AFRAID. 22 THEN
CALL THOU, AND I WILL ANSWER: OR LET ME SPEAK, AND ANSWER
THOU ME. 23 HOW MANY ARE MINE INIQUITIES AND SINS? MAKE ME
TO KNOW MY TRANSGRESSION AND MY SIN. 24 WHEREFORE HIDEST
THOU THY FACE, AND HOLDEST ME FOR THINE ENEMY? 25 WILT
THOU BREAK A LEAF DRIVEN TO AND FRO? AND WILT THOU PURSUE
THE DRY STUBBLE? 26 FOR THOU WRITEST BITTER THINGS AGAINST

MAN THAT IS BORN OF A WOMAN IS OF FEW DAYS, AND FULL OF
TROUBLE. 2 HE COMETH FORTH LIKE A FLOWER, AND IS CUT DOWN:
HE FLEETH ALSO AS A SHADOW, AND CONTINUETH NOT. 3 AND DOST
THOU OPEN THINE EYES UPON SUCH AN ONE, AND BRINGEST ME
INTO JUDGMENT WITH THEE? 4 WHO CAN BRING A CLEAN THING
OUT OF AN UNCLEAN? NOT ONE. 5 SEEING HIS DAYS ARE
DETERMINED, THE NUMBER OF HIS MONTHS ARE WITH THEE, THOU
HAST APPOINTED HIS BOUNDS THAT HE CANNOT PASS; 6 TURN
FROM HIM, THAT HE MAY REST, TILL HE SHALL ACCOMPLISH, AS AN
HIRELING, HIS DAY. 7 FOR THERE IS HOPE OF A TREE, IF IT BE CUT
DOWN, THAT IT WILL SPROUT AGAIN, AND THAT THE TENDER
BRANCH THEREOF WILL NOT CEASE. 8 THOUGH THE ROOT THEREOF
WAX OLD IN THE EARTH, AND THE STOCK THEREOF DIE IN THE
GROUND; 9 YET THROUGH THE SCENT OF WATER IT WILL BUD, AND
BRING FORTH BOUGHS LIKE A PLANT. 10 BUT MAN DIETH, AND
WASTETH AWAY: YEA, MAN GIVETH UP THE GHOST, AND WHERE IS
HE? 11 AS THE WATERS FAIL FROM THE SEA, AND THE FLOOD
DECAYETH AND DRIETH UP: 12 SO MAN LIETH DOWN, AND RISETH

NOR BE RAISED OUT OF THEIR SLEEP. 13 O THAT THOU WOULDEST

THOU WILT HAVE A DESIRE TO THE WORK OF THINE HANDS. 16 FOR
NOW THOU NUMBEREST MY STEPS: DOST THOU NOT WATCH OVER
MY SIN? 17 MY TRANSGRESSION IS SEALED UP IN A BAG, AND THOU
SEWEST UP MINE INIQUITY. 18 AND SURELY THE MOUNTAIN
FALLING COMETH TO NOUGHT, AND THE ROCK IS REMOVED OUT OF

WITH SPEECHES WHEREWITH HE CAN DO NO GOOD? 4 YEA, THOU

CASTEST OFF FEAR, AND RESTRAINEST PRAYER BEFORE GOD. 5 FOR

THY MOUTH UTTERETH THINE INIQUITY, AND THOU CHOOSEST THE

GIVEN, AND NO STRANGER PASSED AMONG THEM. 20 THE WICKED
MAN TRAVAILETH WITH PAIN ALL HIS DAYS, AND THE NUMBER OF
YEARS IS HIDDEN TO THE OPPRESSOR. 21 A DREADFUL SOUND IS IN
HIS EARS: IN PROSPERITY THE DESTROYER SHALL COME UPON HIM.

HATETH ME: HE GNASHETH UPON ME WITH HIS TEETH; MINE
ENEMY SHARPENETH HIS EYES UPON ME. 10 THEY HAVE GAPED
UPON ME WITH THEIR MOUTH; THEY HAVE SMITTEN ME UPON THE
CHEEK REPROACHFULLY; THEY HAVE GATHERED THEMSELVES
TOGETHER AGAINST ME. 11 GOD HATH DELIVERED ME TO THE

12 I WAS AT EASE, BUT HE HATH BROKEN ME ASUNDER: HE HATH
ALSO TAKEN ME BY MY NECK, AND SHAKEN ME TO PIECES, AND SET
ME UP FOR HIS MARK. 13 HIS ARCHERS COMPASS ME ROUND ABOUT,
HE CLEAVETH MY REINS ASUNDER, AND DOTH NOT SPARE; HE
POURETH OUT MY GALL UPON THE GROUND. 14 HE BREAKETH ME
WITH BREACH UPON BREACH, HE RUNNETH UPON ME LIKE A GIANT.
15 I HAVE SEWED SACKCLOTH UPON MY SKIN, AND DEFILED MY
HORN IN THE DUST. 16 MY FACE IS FOUL WITH WEEPING, AND ON

BROKEN OFF, EVEN THE THOUGHTS OF MY HEART. 12 THEY CHANGE
THE NIGHT INTO DAY: THE LIGHT IS SHORT BECAUSE OF DARKNESS.
13 IF I WAIT, THE GRAVE IS MINE HOUSE: I HAVE MADE MY BED IN
THE DARKNESS. 14 I HAVE SAID TO CORRUPTION, THOU ART MY
FATHER: TO THE WORM, THOU ART MY MOTHER, AND MY SISTER. 15

SHALL THE ROCK BE REMOVED OUT OF HIS PLACE? 5 YEA, THE LIGHT
OF THE WICKED SHALL BE PUT OUT, AND THE SPARK OF HIS FIRE
SHALL NOT SHINE. 6 THE LIGHT SHALL BE DARK IN HIS TABERNACLE,
AND HIS CANDLE SHALL BE PUT OUT WITH HIM. 7 THE STEPS OF HIS
STRENGTH SHALL BE STRAITENED, AND HIS OWN COUNSEL SHALL
CAST HIM DOWN. 8 FOR HE IS CAST INTO A NET BY HIS OWN FEET,
AND HE WALKETH UPON A SNARE. 9 THE GIN SHALL TAKE HIM BY
THE HEEL, AND THE ROBBER SHALL PREVAIL AGAINST HIM. 10 THE
SNARE IS LAID FOR HIM IN THE GROUND, AND A TRAP FOR HIM IN
THE WAY. 11 TERRORS SHALL MAKE HIM AFRAID ON EVERY SIDE,
AND SHALL DRIVE HIM TO HIS FEET. 12 HIS STRENGTH SHALL BE
HUNGERBITTEN, AND DESTRUCTION SHALL BE READY AT HIS SIDE.
13 IT SHALL DEVOUR THE STRENGTH OF HIS SKIN: EVEN THE
FIRSTBORN OF DEATH SHALL DEVOUR HIS STRENGTH. 14 HIS
CONFIDENCE SHALL BE ROOTED OUT OF HIS TABERNACLE, AND IT
SHALL BRING HIM TO THE KING OF TERRORS. 15 IT SHALL DWELL IN
HIS TABERNACLE, BECAUSE IT IS NONE OF HIS: BRIMSTONE SHALL
BE SCATTERED UPON HIS HABITATION. 16 HIS ROOTS SHALL BE
DRIED UP BENEATH, AND ABOVE SHALL HIS BRANCH BE CUT OFF. 17
HIS REMEMBRANCE SHALL PERISH FROM THE EARTH, AND HE SHALL
HAVE NO NAME IN THE STREET. 18 HE SHALL BE DRIVEN FROM
LIGHT INTO DARKNESS, AND CHASED OUT OF THE WORLD. 19 HE
SHALL NEITHER HAVE SON NOR NEPHEW AMONG HIS PEOPLE, NOR
ANY REMAINING IN HIS DWELLINGS. 20 THEY THAT COME AFTER
HIM SHALL BE ASTONIED AT HIS DAY, AS THEY THAT WENT BEFORE

AND HATH COMPASSED ME WITH HIS NET. 7 BEHOLD, I CRY OUT OF
WRONG, BUT I AM NOT HEARD: I CRY ALOUD, BUT THERE IS NO
JUDGMENT. 8 HE HATH FENCED UP MY WAY THAT I CANNOT PASS,
AND HE HATH SET DARKNESS IN MY PATHS. 9 HE HATH STRIPPED
ME OF MY GLORY, AND TAKEN THE CROWN FROM MY HEAD. 10 HE
HATH DESTROYED ME ON EVERY SIDE, AND I AM GONE: AND MINE
HOPE HATH HE REMOVED LIKE A TREE. 11 HE HATH ALSO KINDLED
HIS WRATH AGAINST ME, AND HE COUNTETH ME UNTO HIM AS ONE
OF HIS ENEMIES. 12 HIS TROOPS COME TOGETHER, AND RAISE UP
THEIR WAY AGAINST ME, AND ENCAMP ROUND ABOUT MY
TABERNACLE. 13 HE HATH PUT MY BRETHREN FAR FROM ME, AND
MINE ACQUAINTANCE ARE VERILY ESTRANGED FROM ME. 14 MY
KINSFOLK HAVE FAILED, AND MY FAMILIAR FRIENDS HAVE
FORGOTTEN ME. 15 THEY THAT DWELL IN MINE HOUSE, AND MY
MAIDS, COUNT ME FOR A STRANGER: I AM AN ALIEN IN THEIR SIGHT.
16 I CALLED MY SERVANT, AND HE GAVE ME NO ANSWER; I
INTREATED HIM WITH MY MOUTH. 17 MY BREATH IS STRANGE TO
MY WIFE, THOUGH I INTREATED FOR THE CHILDREN’S SAKE OF MINE
OWN BODY. 18 YEA, YOUNG CHILDREN DESPISED ME; I AROSE, AND
THEY SPAKE AGAINST ME. 19 ALL MY INWARD FRIENDS ABHORRED

WITH THE SKIN OF MY TEETH. 21 HAVE PITY UPON ME, HAVE PITY
UPON ME, O YE MY FRIENDS; FOR THE HAND OF GOD HATH TOUCHED
ME. 22 WHY DO YE PERSECUTE ME AS GOD, AND ARE NOT SATISFIED
WITH MY FLESH? 23 OH THAT MY WORDS WERE NOW WRITTEN! OH

AND THE SPIRIT OF MY UNDERSTANDING CAUSETH ME TO ANSWER.
SHALL CONSUME HIM; IT SHALL GO ILL WITH HIM THAT IS LEFT IN

HOUSE SHALL DEPART, AND HIS GOODS SHALL FLOW AWAY IN THE

UNTO THE CLOUDS; 7 YET HE SHALL PERISH FOR EVER LIKE HIS OWN
FROM GOD, AND THE HERITAGE APPOINTED UNTO HIM BY GOD.
DUNG: THEY WHICH HAVE SEEN HIM SHALL SAY, WHERE IS HE? 8
HE SHALL FLY AWAY AS A DREAM, AND SHALL NOT BE FOUND: YEA,
HE SHALL BE CHASED AWAY AS A VISION OF THE NIGHT. 9 THE EYE
ALSO WHICH SAW HIM SHALL SEE HIM NO MORE; NEITHER SHALL
HIS PLACE ANY MORE BEHOLD HIM. 10 HIS CHILDREN SHALL SEEK
TO PLEASE THE POOR, AND HIS HANDS SHALL RESTORE THEIR
GOODS. 11 HIS BONES ARE FULL OF THE SIN OF HIS YOUTH, WHICH
SHALL LIE DOWN WITH HIM IN THE DUST. 12 THOUGH WICKEDNESS
BE SWEET IN HIS MOUTH, THOUGH HE HIDE IT UNDER HIS TONGUE;
13 THOUGH HE SPARE IT, AND FORSAKE IT NOT; BUT KEEP IT STILL
WITHIN HIS MOUTH: 14 YET HIS MEAT IN HIS BOWELS IS TURNED,
IT IS THE GALL OF ASPS WITHIN HIM. 15 HE HATH SWALLOWED
DOWN RICHES, AND HE SHALL VOMIT THEM UP AGAIN: GOD SHALL
CAST THEM OUT OF HIS BELLY. 16 HE SHALL SUCK THE POISON OF
ASPS: THE VIPER’S TONGUE SHALL SLAY HIM. 17 HE SHALL NOT SEE
THE RIVERS, THE FLOODS, THE BROOKS OF HONEY AND BUTTER. 18
THAT WHICH HE LABOURED FOR SHALL HE RESTORE, AND SHALL
NOT SWALLOW IT DOWN: ACCORDING TO HIS SUBSTANCE SHALL
THE RESTITUTION BE, AND HE SHALL NOT REJOICE THEREIN. 19
BECAUSE HE HATH OPPRESSED AND HATH FORSAKEN THE POOR;
BECAUSE HE HATH VIOLENTLY TAKEN AWAY AN HOUSE WHICH HE
BUILDED NOT; 20 SURELY HE SHALL NOT FEEL QUIETNESS IN HIS
BELLY, HE SHALL NOT SAVE OF THAT WHICH HE DESIRED. 21 THERE
SHALL NONE OF HIS MEAT BE LEFT; THEREFORE SHALL NO MAN

THE TIMBREL AND HARP, AND REJOICE AT THE SOUND OF THE

GO DOWN TO THE GRAVE. 14 THEREFORE THEY SAY 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
LO, THEIR GOOD IS NOT IN THEIR HAND: THE COUNSEL OF THE

AND BEHOLD THE HEIGHT OF THE STARS, HOW HIGH THEY ARE! 13
AND THOU SAYEST, HOW DOTH GOD KNOW? CAN HE JUDGE
THROUGH THE DARK CLOUD? 14 THICK CLOUDS ARE A COVERING TO
HIM, THAT HE SEETH NOT; AND HE WALKETH IN THE CIRCUIT OF
HEAVEN. 15 HAST THOU MARKED THE OLD WAY WHICH WICKED
MEN HAVE TRODDEN? 16 WHICH WERE CUT DOWN OUT OF TIME,
WHOSE FOUNDATION WAS OVERFLOWN WITH A FLOOD: 17 WHICH
SAID UNTO GOD, DEPART FROM US: AND WHAT CAN THE ALMIGHTY
DO FOR THEM? 18 YET HE FILLED THEIR HOUSES WITH GOOD THINGS:
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 WHEREAS OUR SUBSTANCE IS NOT CUT DOWN,
BUT THE REMNANT OF THEM THE FIRE CONSUMETH. 21 ACQUAINT
NOW THYSELF WITH HIM, AND BE AT PEACE: THEREBY GOOD SHALL
COME UNTO THEE. 22 RECEIVE, I PRAY THEE, THE LAW FROM HIS
MOUTH, AND LAY UP HIS WORDS IN THINE HEART. 23 IF THOU
RETURN TO THE ALMIGHTY, THOU SHALT BE BUILT UP, THOU SHALT

THEN JOB ANSWERED AND SAID, 2 EVEN TO DAY IS MY COMPLAINT
BITTER: MY STROKE IS HEAVIER THAN MY GROANING. 3 OH THAT I
KNEW WHERE I MIGHT FIND HIM! THAT I MIGHT COME EVEN TO HIS
SEAT! 4 I WOULD ORDER MY CAUSE BEFORE HIM, AND FILL MY
MOUTH WITH ARGUMENTS. 5 I WOULD KNOW THE WORDS WHICH
HE WOULD ANSWER ME, AND UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WOULD SAY
UNTO ME. 6 WILL HE PLEAD AGAINST ME WITH HIS GREAT POWER?
NO; BUT HE WOULD PUT STRENGTH IN ME. 7 THERE THE RIGHTEOUS
MIGHT DISPUTE 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 HIM: 9 ON THE LEFT
HAND, WHERE HE DOTH WORK, BUT I CANNOT BEHOLD HIM: HE
HIDETH HIMSELF ON THE RIGHT HAND, THAT I CANNOT SEE HIM: 10
BUT HE KNOWETH THE WAY THAT I TAKE: WHEN HE HATH TRIED ME,
I SHALL COME FORTH AS GOLD. 11 MY FOOT HATH HELD HIS STEPS,
HIS WAY HAVE I KEPT, AND NOT DECLINED. 12 NEITHER HAVE I
GONE BACK FROM THE COMMANDMENT OF HIS LIPS; I HAVE
ESTEEMED THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH MORE THAN MY NECESSARY
FOOD. 13 BUT HE IS IN ONE MIND, AND WHO CAN TURN HIM? AND
WHAT HIS SOUL DESIRETH, EVEN THAT HE DOETH. 14 FOR HE
PERFORMETH THE THING THAT IS APPOINTED FOR ME: AND MANY
SUCH THINGS ARE WITH HIM. 15 THEREFORE AM I TROUBLED AT HIS
PRESENCE: WHEN I CONSIDER, I AM AFRAID OF HIM. 16 FOR GOD
MAKETH MY HEART SOFT, AND THE ALMIGHTY TROUBLETH ME: 17
BECAUSE I WAS NOT CUT OFF BEFORE THE DARKNESS, NEITHER
HATH HE COVERED THE DARKNESS FROM MY FACE.

MORE REMEMBERED; AND WICKEDNESS SHALL BE BROKEN AS A

WHY, SEEING TIMES ARE NOT HIDDEN FROM THE ALMIGHTY, DO
LIFE. 23 THOUGH IT BE GIVEN HIM TO BE IN SAFETY, WHEREON HE

RESTETH; YET HIS EYES ARE UPON THEIR WAYS. 24 THEY ARE
LANDMARKS; THEY VIOLENTLY TAKE AWAY FLOCKS, AND FEED
EXALTED FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT ARE GONE AND BROUGHT LOW;
THEREOF. 3 THEY DRIVE AWAY THE ASS OF THE FATHERLESS, THEY
THEY ARE TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY AS ALL OTHER, AND CUT OFF AS
TAKE THE WIDOW’S OX FOR A PLEDGE. 4 THEY TURN THE NEEDY OUT
THE TOPS OF THE EARS OF CORN. 25 AND IF IT BE NOT SO NOW,
OF THE WAY: THE POOR OF THE EARTH HIDE THEMSELVES
WHO WILL MAKE ME A LIAR, AND MAKE MY SPEECH NOTHING
TOGETHER. 5 BEHOLD, AS WILD ASSES IN THE DESERT, GO THEY
WORTH?
FORTH TO THEIR WORK; RISING BETIMES FOR A PREY: THE
WILDERNESS YIELDETH FOOD FOR THEM AND FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
6 THEY REAP EVERY ONE HIS CORN IN THE FIELD: AND THEY GATHER
THE VINTAGE OF THE WICKED. 7 THEY CAUSE THE NAKED TO LODGE
WITHOUT CLOTHING, THAT THEY 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 THEY PLUCK THE
FATHERLESS FROM THE BREAST, AND TAKE A PLEDGE OF THE POOR.
10 THEY CAUSE HIM TO GO NAKED WITHOUT CLOTHING, AND THEY
TAKE AWAY THE SHEAF FROM THE HUNGRY; 11 WHICH MAKE OIL
WITHIN THEIR WALLS, AND TREAD THEIR WINEPRESSES, AND
SUFFER THIRST. 12 MEN GROAN FROM OUT OF THE CITY, AND THE
SOUL OF THE WOUNDED CRIETH OUT: YET GOD LAYETH NOT FOLLY
TO THEM. 13 THEY ARE OF THOSE THAT REBEL AGAINST THE LIGHT;
THEY KNOW NOT THE WAYS THEREOF, NOR ABIDE IN THE PATHS
THEREOF. 14 THE MURDERER RISING WITH THE LIGHT KILLETH THE
POOR AND NEEDY, AND IN THE NIGHT IS AS A THIEF. 15 THE EYE
ALSO OF THE ADULTERER WAITETH FOR THE TWILIGHT, SAYING, NO
EYE SHALL SEE ME: AND DISGUISETH HIS FACE. 16 IN THE DARK
THEY DIG THROUGH HOUSES, WHICH THEY HAD MARKED FOR
THEMSELVES IN THE DAYTIME: THEY KNOW NOT THE LIGHT. 17 FOR
THE MORNING IS TO THEM EVEN AS THE SHADOW OF DEATH: IF ONE
KNOW THEM, THEY ARE IN THE TERRORS OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH.
18 HE IS SWIFT AS THE WATERS; THEIR PORTION IS CURSED IN THE
EARTH: HE BEHOLDETH NOT THE WAY OF THE VINEYARDS. 19

GOD? OR HOW CAN HE BE CLEAN THAT IS BORN OF A WOMAN? 5

THING AS IT IS? 4 TO WHOM HAST THOU UTTERED WORDS? AND
WHOSE SPIRIT CAME FROM THEE? 5 DEAD THINGS ARE FORMED
FROM UNDER THE WATERS, AND THE INHABITANTS THEREOF. 6
HELL IS NAKED BEFORE HIM, AND DESTRUCTION HATH NO
COVERING. 7 HE STRETCHETH OUT THE NORTH OVER THE EMPTY
PLACE, AND HANGETH THE EARTH UPON NOTHING. 8 HE BINDETH
UP THE WATERS IN HIS THICK CLOUDS; AND THE CLOUD IS NOT
RENT UNDER THEM. 9 HE HOLDETH BACK THE FACE OF HIS THRONE,
AND SPREADETH HIS CLOUD UPON IT. 10 HE HATH COMPASSED THE
WATERS WITH BOUNDS, UNTIL THE DAY AND NIGHT COME TO AN
END. 11 THE PILLARS OF HEAVEN TREMBLE AND ARE ASTONISHED
AT HIS REPROOF. 12 HE DIVIDETH THE SEA WITH HIS POWER, AND
BY HIS UNDERSTANDING HE SMITETH THROUGH THE PROUD. 13 BY
HIS SPIRIT HE HATH GARNISHED THE HEAVENS; HIS HAND HATH
FORMED THE CROOKED SERPENT. 14 LO, THESE ARE PARTS OF HIS
WAYS: BUT HOW LITTLE A PORTION IS HEARD OF HIM? BUT THE
THUNDER OF HIS POWER WHO CAN UNDERSTAND?

MOREOVER JOB CONTINUED HIS PARABLE, AND SAID, 2 AS GOD
LIVETH, WHO HATH TAKEN AWAY MY JUDGMENT; AND THE
ALMIGHTY, WHO HATH VEXED MY SOUL; 3 ALL THE WHILE MY
BREATH IS IN ME, AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS IN MY NOSTRILS; 4 MY
LIPS SHALL NOT SPEAK WICKEDNESS, NOR MY TONGUE UTTER
DECEIT. 5 GOD FORBID THAT I SHOULD JUSTIFY YOU: TILL I DIE I WILL
NOT REMOVE MINE INTEGRITY FROM ME. 6 MY RIGHTEOUSNESS I
HOLD FAST, AND WILL NOT LET IT GO: MY HEART SHALL NOT
REPROACH ME SO LONG AS I LIVE. 7 LET MINE ENEMY BE AS THE
WICKED, AND HE THAT RISETH UP AGAINST ME AS THE
UNRIGHTEOUS. 8 FOR WHAT IS THE HOPE OF THE HYPOCRITE,
THOUGH HE HATH GAINED, WHEN GOD TAKETH AWAY HIS SOUL? 9
WILL GOD HEAR HIS CRY WHEN TROUBLE COMETH UPON HIM? 10
WILL HE DELIGHT HIMSELF IN THE ALMIGHTY? WILL HE ALWAYS
CALL UPON GOD? 11 I WILL TEACH YOU BY 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 THUS
ALTOGETHER VAIN? 13 THIS IS THE PORTION OF A WICKED MAN
WITH GOD, AND THE HERITAGE OF OPPRESSORS, WHICH THEY
SHALL RECEIVE OF 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 NOT WEEP. 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 A MOTH, AND AS A BOOTH THAT THE KEEPER MAKETH.
19 THE RICH MAN SHALL LIE DOWN, BUT HE SHALL NOT BE
GATHERED: HE OPENETH HIS EYES, AND HE IS NOT. 20 TERRORS
TAKE HOLD ON HIM AS WATERS, A TEMPEST STEALETH HIM AWAY
IN THE NIGHT. 21 THE EAST WIND CARRIETH HIM AWAY, AND HE
DEPARTETH: AND AS A STORM HURLETH HIM OUT OF HIS PLACE. 22

FLEE OUT OF HIS HAND. 23 MEN SHALL CLAP THEIR HANDS AT HIM,

LOOKETH TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, AND SEETH UNDER THE

WEIGHETH THE WATERS BY MEASURE. 26 WHEN HE MADE A DECREE
FOR THE RAIN, AND A WAY FOR THE LIGHTNING OF THE THUNDER:
SURELY THERE IS A VEIN FOR THE SILVER, AND A PLACE FOR GOLD
27 THEN DID HE SEE IT, AND DECLARE IT; HE PREPARED IT, YEA, AND
WHERE THEY FINE IT. 2 IRON IS TAKEN OUT OF THE EARTH, AND
SEARCHED IT OUT. 28 AND UNTO MAN HE SAID, BEHOLD, THE FEAR
BRASS IS MOLTEN OUT OF THE STONE. 3 HE SETTETH AN END TO

DARKNESS, AND SEARCHETH OUT ALL PERFECTION: THE STONES OF
UNDERSTANDING.
DARKNESS, AND THE SHADOW OF DEATH. 4 THE FLOOD BREAKETH
OUT FROM THE INHABITANT; EVEN THE WATERS FORGOTTEN OF THE
FOOT: THEY ARE DRIED UP, THEY ARE GONE AWAY FROM MEN. 5 AS
FOR THE EARTH, OUT OF IT COMETH BREAD: AND UNDER IT IS
TURNED UP AS IT WERE FIRE. 6 THE STONES OF IT ARE THE PLACE
OF SAPPHIRES: AND IT HATH DUST OF GOLD. 7 THERE IS A PATH
WHICH NO FOWL KNOWETH, AND WHICH THE VULTURE’S EYE HATH
NOT SEEN: 8 THE LION’S WHELPS HAVE NOT TRODDEN IT, NOR THE
FIERCE LION PASSED BY IT. 9 HE PUTTETH FORTH HIS HAND UPON
THE ROCK; HE OVERTURNETH THE MOUNTAINS BY THE ROOTS. 10
HE CUTTETH OUT RIVERS AMONG THE ROCKS; AND HIS EYE SEETH
EVERY PRECIOUS THING. 11 HE BINDETH THE FLOODS FROM
OVERFLOWING; AND THE THING THAT IS HID BRINGETH HE FORTH
TO LIGHT. 12 BUT WHERE SHALL WISDOM BE FOUND? AND WHERE
IS THE PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING? 13 MAN KNOWETH NOT THE
PRICE THEREOF; NEITHER IS IT FOUND IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING.
14 THE DEPTH SAITH, IT IS NOT IN ME: AND THE SEA SAITH, IT IS
NOT WITH ME. 15 IT CANNOT BE GOTTEN FOR GOLD, NEITHER SHALL
SILVER BE WEIGHED FOR THE PRICE THEREOF. 16 IT CANNOT BE
VALUED WITH THE GOLD OF OPHIR, WITH THE PRECIOUS ONYX, OR
THE SAPPHIRE. 17 THE GOLD AND THE CRYSTAL CANNOT EQUAL IT:
AND THE EXCHANGE OF IT SHALL NOT BE FOR JEWELS OF FINE GOLD.
18 NO MENTION SHALL BE MADE OF CORAL, OR OF PEARLS: FOR THE
PRICE OF WISDOM IS ABOVE RUBIES. 19 THE TOPAZ OF ETHIOPIA
SHALL NOT EQUAL IT, NEITHER SHALL IT BE VALUED WITH PURE
GOLD. 20 WHENCE THEN COMETH WISDOM? AND WHERE IS THE
PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING? 21 SEEING IT IS HID FROM THE EYES OF
ALL LIVING, AND KEPT CLOSE FROM THE FOWLS OF THE AIR. 22

WERE AS IN MONTHS PAST, AS IN THE DAYS WHEN GOD PRESERVED
ME; 3 WHEN HIS CANDLE SHINED UPON MY HEAD, AND WHEN BY
HIS LIGHT I WALKED THROUGH DARKNESS; 4 AS I WAS IN THE DAYS
OF MY YOUTH, WHEN THE SECRET OF GOD WAS UPON MY
TABERNACLE; 5 WHEN THE ALMIGHTY WAS YET WITH ME, WHEN MY
CHILDREN WERE ABOUT ME; 6 WHEN I WASHED MY STEPS WITH
BUTTER, AND THE ROCK POURED ME OUT RIVERS OF OIL; 7 WHEN I
WENT OUT TO THE GATE THROUGH THE CITY, WHEN I PREPARED MY
SEAT IN THE STREET! 8 THE YOUNG MEN SAW ME, AND HID
THEMSELVES: AND THE AGED AROSE, AND STOOD UP. 9 THE PRINCES
REFRAINED TALKING, AND LAID THEIR HAND ON THEIR MOUTH. 10
THE NOBLES HELD THEIR PEACE, AND THEIR TONGUE CLEAVED TO
THE ROOF OF THEIR MOUTH. 11 WHEN THE EAR HEARD ME, THEN IT
BLESSED ME; AND WHEN THE EYE SAW ME, IT GAVE WITNESS TO ME:
12 BECAUSE I DELIVERED THE POOR THAT CRIED, AND THE
FATHERLESS, AND HIM THAT HAD NONE TO HELP HIM. 13 THE
BLESSING OF HIM THAT WAS READY TO PERISH CAME UPON ME: AND
I CAUSED THE WIDOW’S HEART TO SING FOR JOY. 14 I PUT ON
RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND IT CLOTHED ME: MY JUDGMENT WAS AS A
ROBE AND A DIADEM. 15 I WAS EYES TO THE BLIND, AND FEET WAS
I TO THE LAME. 16 I WAS A FATHER TO THE POOR: AND THE CAUSE
WHICH I KNEW NOT I SEARCHED OUT. 17 AND I BRAKE THE JAWS OF
THE WICKED, AND PLUCKED THE SPOIL OUT OF HIS TEETH. 18 THEN
I SAID, I SHALL DIE IN MY NEST, AND I SHALL MULTIPLY MY DAYS
AS THE SAND. 19 MY ROOT WAS SPREAD OUT BY THE WATERS, AND
THE DEW LAY ALL NIGHT UPON MY BRANCH. 20 MY GLORY WAS
FRESH IN ME, AND MY BOW WAS RENEWED IN MY HAND. 21 UNTO

ABHOR ME, THEY FLEE FAR FROM ME, AND SPARE NOT TO SPIT IN

MY RIGHT HAND RISE THE YOUTH; THEY PUSH AWAY MY FEET, AND
THEY RAISE UP AGAINST ME THE WAYS OF THEIR DESTRUCTION. 13

15 TERRORS ARE TURNED UPON ME: THEY PURSUE MY SOUL AS THE
WIND: AND MY WELFARE PASSETH AWAY AS A CLOUD. 16 AND NOW
MY SOUL IS POURED OUT UPON ME; THE DAYS OF AFFLICTION HAVE
TAKEN HOLD UPON ME. 17 MY BONES ARE PIERCED IN ME IN THE
NIGHT SEASON: AND MY SINEWS TAKE NO REST. 18 BY THE GREAT
FORCE OF MY DISEASE IS MY GARMENT CHANGED: IT BINDETH ME

JUSTIFIED HIMSELF RATHER THAN GOD. 3 ALSO AGAINST HIS THREE
FRIENDS WAS HIS WRATH KINDLED, BECAUSE THEY HAD FOUND NO

WAITED TILL JOB HAD SPOKEN, BECAUSE THEY WERE ELDER THAN
HE. 5 WHEN ELIHU SAW THAT THERE WAS NO ANSWER IN THE

AND ELIHU THE SON OF BARACHEL THE BUZITE ANSWERED AND
SAID, I AM YOUNG, AND YE ARE VERY OLD; WHEREFORE I WAS
AFRAID, AND DURST NOT SHEW YOU MINE OPINION. 7 I SAID, DAYS
SHOULD SPEAK, AND MULTITUDE OF YEARS SHOULD TEACH WISDOM.
8 BUT THERE IS A SPIRIT IN MAN: AND THE INSPIRATION OF THE
ALMIGHTY GIVETH THEM UNDERSTANDING. 9 GREAT MEN ARE NOT
ALWAYS WISE: NEITHER DO THE AGED UNDERSTAND JUDGMENT. 10
THEREFORE I SAID, HEARKEN TO ME; I ALSO WILL SHEW MINE

OF MEN, AND SEALETH THEIR INSTRUCTION, 17 THAT HE MAY
WITHDRAW MAN FROM HIS PURPOSE, AND HIDE PRIDE FROM MAN.
18 HE KEEPETH BACK HIS SOUL FROM THE PIT, AND HIS LIFE FROM
PERISHING BY THE SWORD. 19 HE IS CHASTENED ALSO WITH PAIN
UPON HIS BED, AND THE MULTITUDE OF HIS BONES WITH STRONG
PAIN: 20 SO THAT HIS LIFE ABHORRETH BREAD, AND HIS SOUL
DAINTY MEAT. 21 HIS FLESH IS CONSUMED AWAY, THAT IT CANNOT
BE SEEN; AND HIS BONES THAT WERE NOT SEEN STICK OUT. 22 YEA,
HIS SOUL DRAWETH NEAR UNTO THE GRAVE, AND HIS LIFE TO THE
DESTROYERS. 23 IF THERE BE A MESSENGER WITH HIM, AN
INTERPRETER, ONE AMONG A THOUSAND, TO SHEW UNTO MAN HIS

IN A MOMENT SHALL THEY DIE, AND THE PEOPLE SHALL BE
TROUBLED AT MIDNIGHT, AND PASS AWAY: AND THE MIGHTY SHALL

WHAT DOEST THOU UNTO HIM? 7 IF THOU BE RIGHTEOUS, WHAT
GIVEST THOU HIM? OR WHAT RECEIVETH HE OF THINE HAND? 8 THY
WICKEDNESS MAY HURT A MAN AS THOU ART; AND THY
RIGHTEOUSNESS MAY PROFIT THE SON OF MAN. 9 BY REASON OF
THE MULTITUDE OF OPPRESSIONS THEY MAKE THE OPPRESSED TO

BUT NONE SAITH, WHERE IS GOD MY MAKER, WHO GIVETH SONGS
IN THE NIGHT; 11 WHO TEACHETH US MORE THAN THE BEASTS OF
THE EARTH, AND MAKETH US WISER THAN THE FOWLS OF HEAVEN?
12 THERE THEY CRY, 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 ALTHOUGH THOU
SAYEST THOU SHALT NOT SEE HIM, YET JUDGMENT IS BEFORE HIM;
THEREFORE TRUST THOU IN HIM. 15 BUT NOW, BECAUSE IT IS NOT

THEIR WORK, AND THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS THAT THEY HAVE
EXCEEDED. 10 HE OPENETH ALSO THEIR EAR TO DISCIPLINE, AND
COMMANDETH THAT THEY RETURN FROM INIQUITY. 11 IF THEY
OBEY AND SERVE HIM, THEY SHALL SPEND THEIR DAYS IN
PROSPERITY, AND THEIR YEARS IN PLEASURES. 12 BUT IF THEY OBEY
NOT, THEY SHALL PERISH BY THE SWORD, AND THEY SHALL DIE
WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE. 13 BUT THE HYPOCRITES IN HEART HEAP UP
WRATH: THEY CRY NOT WHEN HE BINDETH THEM. 14 THEY DIE IN
YOUTH, AND THEIR LIFE IS AMONG THE UNCLEAN. 15 HE
DELIVERETH THE POOR IN HIS AFFLICTION, AND OPENETH THEIR
EARS IN OPPRESSION. 16 EVEN SO WOULD HE HAVE REMOVED THEE
OUT OF THE STRAIT INTO A BROAD PLACE, WHERE THERE IS NO
STRAITNESS; AND THAT WHICH SHOULD BE SET ON THY TABLE
SHOULD BE FULL OF FATNESS. 17 BUT THOU HAST FULFILLED THE
JUDGMENT OF THE WICKED: JUDGMENT AND JUSTICE TAKE HOLD

NOR ALL THE FORCES OF STRENGTH. 20 DESIRE NOT THE NIGHT,
WHEN PEOPLE ARE CUT OFF IN THEIR PLACE. 21 TAKE HEED,
REGARD NOT INIQUITY: FOR THIS HAST THOU CHOSEN RATHER THAN

AT THIS ALSO MY HEART TREMBLETH, AND IS MOVED OUT OF HIS
PLACE. 2 HEAR ATTENTIVELY THE NOISE OF HIS VOICE, AND THE
SOUND THAT GOETH OUT OF HIS MOUTH. 3 HE DIRECTETH IT UNDER
THE WHOLE HEAVEN, AND HIS LIGHTNING UNTO THE ENDS OF THE
EARTH. 4 AFTER IT A VOICE ROARETH: HE THUNDERETH WITH THE
VOICE OF HIS EXCELLENCY; AND HE WILL NOT STAY THEM WHEN
HIS VOICE IS HEARD. 5 GOD THUNDERETH MARVELLOUSLY WITH HIS
VOICE; GREAT THINGS DOETH HE, WHICH WE CANNOT
COMPREHEND. 6 FOR HE SAITH TO THE SNOW, BE THOU ON THE
EARTH; LIKEWISE TO THE SMALL RAIN, AND TO THE GREAT RAIN OF
HIS STRENGTH. 7 HE SEALETH UP THE HAND OF EVERY MAN; THAT
ALL MEN MAY KNOW HIS WORK. 8 THEN THE BEASTS GO INTO DENS,
AND REMAIN IN THEIR PLACES. 9 OUT OF THE SOUTH COMETH THE
WHIRLWIND: AND COLD OUT OF THE NORTH. 10 BY THE BREATH OF
GOD FROST IS GIVEN: AND THE BREADTH OF THE WATERS IS
STRAITENED. 11 ALSO BY WATERING HE WEARIETH THE THICK
CLOUD: HE SCATTERETH HIS BRIGHT CLOUD: 12 AND IT IS TURNED
ROUND ABOUT BY HIS COUNSELS: THAT THEY MAY DO WHATSOEVER
HE COMMANDETH THEM UPON THE FACE OF THE WORLD IN THE

OR FOR HIS LAND, OR FOR MERCY. 14 HEARKEN UNTO THIS, O JOB:

SPEAK, SURELY HE SHALL BE SWALLOWED UP. 21 AND NOW MEN

REPAY HIM? WHATSOEVER IS UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN IS MINE.
12 I WILL NOT CONCEAL HIS PARTS, NOR HIS POWER, NOR HIS
COMELY PROPORTION. 13 WHO CAN DISCOVER THE FACE OF HIS
GARMENT? OR WHO CAN COME TO HIM WITH HIS DOUBLE BRIDLE?
14 WHO CAN OPEN THE DOORS OF HIS FACE? HIS TEETH ARE
TERRIBLE ROUND ABOUT. 15 HIS SCALES ARE HIS PRIDE, SHUT UP
TOGETHER AS WITH A CLOSE SEAL. 16 ONE IS SO NEAR TO ANOTHER,
THAT NO AIR CAN COME BETWEEN THEM. 17 THEY ARE JOINED ONE
TO ANOTHER, THEY STICK TOGETHER, THAT THEY CANNOT BE
SUNDERED. 18 BY HIS NEESINGS A LIGHT DOTH SHINE, AND HIS EYES

TURNED INTO JOY BEFORE HIM. 23 THE FLAKES OF HIS FLESH ARE

WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE? THEREFORE HAVE I UTTERED THAT I
UNDERSTOOD NOT; THINGS TOO WONDERFUL FOR ME, WHICH I
KNEW NOT. 4 HEAR, I BESEECH THEE, AND I WILL SPEAK: I WILL
DEMAND OF THEE, AND DECLARE THOU UNTO ME. 5 I HAVE HEARD
OF THEE BY THE HEARING OF THE EAR: BUT NOW MINE EYE SEETH
THEE. 6 WHEREFORE I ABHOR MYSELF, AND REPENT IN DUST AND
ASHES. 7 AND IT WAS SO, THAT AFTER THE LORD HAD SPOKEN THESE
WORDS UNTO JOB, THE LORD SAID TO ELIPHAZ THE TEMANITE, MY
WRATH IS KINDLED AGAINST THEE, AND AGAINST THY TWO FRIENDS:
FOR YE HAVE NOT SPOKEN OF ME THE THING THAT IS RIGHT, AS MY
SERVANT JOB HATH. 8 THEREFORE TAKE UNTO YOU NOW SEVEN
BULLOCKS AND SEVEN RAMS, AND GO TO MY SERVANT JOB, AND
OFFER UP FOR YOURSELVES A BURNT OFFERING; AND MY SERVANT
JOB SHALL PRAY FOR YOU: FOR HIM WILL I ACCEPT: LEST I DEAL
WITH YOU AFTER YOUR FOLLY, IN THAT YE HAVE NOT SPOKEN OF
ME THE THING WHICH IS RIGHT, LIKE MY SERVANT JOB. 9 SO
ELIPHAZ THE TEMANITE AND BILDAD THE SHUHITE AND ZOPHAR
THE NAAMATHITE WENT, AND DID ACCORDING AS THE LORD
COMMANDED THEM: THE LORD ALSO ACCEPTED JOB. 10 AND THE
LORD TURNED THE CAPTIVITY OF JOB, WHEN HE PRAYED FOR HIS
FRIENDS: ALSO THE LORD GAVE JOB TWICE AS MUCH AS HE HAD
BEFORE. 11 THEN CAME THERE UNTO HIM ALL HIS BRETHREN, AND
ALL HIS SISTERS, AND ALL THEY THAT HAD BEEN OF HIS
ACQUAINTANCE BEFORE, AND DID EAT BREAD WITH HIM IN HIS
HOUSE: AND THEY BEMOANED HIM, AND COMFORTED HIM OVER
ALL THE EVIL THAT THE LORD HAD BROUGHT UPON HIM: EVERY
MAN ALSO GAVE HIM A PIECE OF MONEY, AND EVERY ONE AN
EARRING OF GOLD. 12 SO THE LORD BLESSED THE LATTER END OF
JOB MORE THAN HIS BEGINNING: FOR HE HAD FOURTEEN
THOUSAND SHEEP, AND SIX THOUSAND CAMELS, AND A THOUSAND
YOKE OF OXEN, AND A THOUSAND SHE ASSES. 13 HE HAD ALSO
SEVEN SONS AND THREE DAUGHTERS. 14 AND HE CALLED THE NAME

THE WINDOW OF MY HOUSE I LOOKED THROUGH MY CASEMENT, 7

THROUGH THE STREET NEAR HER CORNER; AND HE WENT THE WAY
TO HER HOUSE, 9 IN THE TWILIGHT, IN THE EVENING, IN THE BLACK

WITH THE ATTIRE OF AN HARLOT, AND SUBTIL OF HEART. 11 (SHE IS
LOUD AND STUBBORN; HER FEET ABIDE NOT IN HER HOUSE: 12 NOW
IS SHE WITHOUT, NOW IN THE STREETS, AND LIETH IN WAIT AT
EVERY CORNER.) 13 SO SHE CAUGHT HIM, AND KISSED HIM, AND
WITH AN IMPUDENT FACE SAID UNTO HIM, 14 I HAVE PEACE
OFFERINGS WITH ME; THIS DAY HAVE I PAYED MY VOWS. 15
THEREFORE CAME I FORTH TO MEET THEE, DILIGENTLY TO SEEK THY

COVERINGS OF TAPESTRY, WITH CARVED WORKS, WITH FINE LINEN

GOODMAN IS NOT AT HOME, HE IS GONE A LONG JOURNEY: 20 HE
HATH TAKEN A BAG OF MONEY WITH HIM, AND WILL COME HOME
AT THE DAY APPOINTED. 21 WITH HER MUCH FAIR SPEECH SHE
CAUSED HIM TO YIELD, WITH THE FLATTERING OF HER LIPS SHE
FORCED HIM. 22 HE GOETH AFTER HER STRAIGHTWAY, AS AN OX
GOETH TO THE SLAUGHTER, OR AS A FOOL TO THE CORRECTION OF

RIGHT UNTO A MAN, BUT THE END THEREOF ARE THE WAYS OF

END OF THAT MIRTH IS HEAVINESS. 14 THE BACKSLIDER IN HEART
SHALL BE FILLED WITH HIS OWN WAYS: AND A GOOD MAN SHALL
BE SATISFIED FROM HIMSELF. 15 THE SIMPLE BELIEVETH EVERY
WORD: BUT THE PRUDENT MAN LOOKETH WELL TO HIS GOING. 16 A
WISE MAN FEARETH, AND DEPARTETH FROM EVIL: BUT THE FOOL

ANSWER OF HIS MOUTH: AND A WORD SPOKEN IN DUE SEASON,
HOW GOOD IS IT! 24 THE WAY OF LIFE IS ABOVE TO THE WISE, THAT
A SOFT ANSWER TURNETH AWAY WRATH: BUT GRIEVOUS WORDS

PERVERSENESS THEREIN IS A BREACH IN THE SPIRIT. 5 A FOOL

DESPISETH HIS FATHER’S INSTRUCTION: BUT HE THAT REGARDETH

11 HELL AND DESTRUCTION ARE BEFORE THE LORD: HOW MUCH
MORE THEN THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN OF MEN? 12 A SCORNER
LOVETH NOT ONE THAT REPROVETH HIM: NEITHER WILL HE GO
UNTO THE WISE. 13 A MERRY HEART MAKETH A CHEERFUL
COUNTENANCE: BUT BY SORROW OF THE HEART THE SPIRIT IS
BROKEN. 14 THE HEART OF HIM THAT HATH UNDERSTANDING
SEEKETH KNOWLEDGE: BUT THE MOUTH OF FOOLS FEEDETH ON
FOOLISHNESS. 15 ALL THE DAYS OF THE AFFLICTED ARE EVIL: BUT
HE THAT IS OF A MERRY HEART HATH A CONTINUAL FEAST. 16
BETTER IS LITTLE WITH THE FEAR OF THE LORD THAN GREAT
TREASURE AND TROUBLE THEREWITH. 17 BETTER IS A DINNER OF
HERBS WHERE LOVE IS, THAN A STALLED OX AND HATRED

THAT IS SLOW TO ANGER APPEASETH STRIFE. 19 THE WAY OF THE
SLOTHFUL MAN IS AS AN HEDGE OF THORNS: BUT THE WAY OF THE
RIGHTEOUS IS MADE PLAIN. 20 A WISE SON MAKETH A GLAD FATHER:

CHAPTER 16 24 PLEASANT WORDS ARE AS AN HONEYCOMB, SWEET TO THE SOUL,
AND HEALTH TO THE BONES. 25 THERE IS A WAY THAT SEEMETH
RIGHT UNTO A MAN, BUT THE END THEREOF ARE THE WAYS OF

DEATH. 26 HE THAT LABOURETH LABOURETH FOR HIMSELF; FOR HIS

AND IN HIS LIPS THERE IS AS A BURNING FIRE. 28 A FROWARD MAN
COMMIT THY WORKS UNTO THE LORD, AND THY THOUGHTS SHALL

AND TRUTH INIQUITY IS PURGED: AND BY THE FEAR OF THE LORD

MEN DEPART FROM EVIL. 7 WHEN A MAN’S WAYS PLEASE THE LORD,
BETTER THAN THE MIGHTY; AND HE THAT RULETH HIS SPIRIT THAN
HE MAKETH EVEN HIS ENEMIES TO BE AT PEACE WITH HIM. 8
HE THAT TAKETH A CITY. 33 THE LOT IS CAST INTO THE LAP; BUT THE
BETTER IS A LITTLE WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS THAN GREAT REVENUES
WHOLE DISPOSING THEREOF IS OF THE LORD.
WITHOUT RIGHT. 9 A MAN’S HEART DEVISETH HIS WAY: BUT THE
LORD DIRECTETH HIS STEPS. 10 A DIVINE SENTENCE IS IN THE LIPS
OF THE KING: HIS MOUTH TRANSGRESSETH NOT IN JUDGMENT. 11
A JUST WEIGHT AND BALANCE ARE THE LORD’S: ALL THE WEIGHTS
OF THE BAG ARE HIS WORK. 12 IT IS AN ABOMINATION TO KINGS TO
COMMIT WICKEDNESS: FOR THE THRONE IS ESTABLISHED BY
RIGHTEOUSNESS. 13 RIGHTEOUS LIPS ARE THE DELIGHT OF KINGS;
AND THEY LOVE HIM THAT SPEAKETH RIGHT. 14 THE WRATH OF A
KING IS AS MESSENGERS OF DEATH: BUT A WISE MAN WILL PACIFY
IT. 15 IN THE LIGHT OF THE KING’S COUNTENANCE IS LIFE; AND HIS
FAVOUR IS AS A CLOUD OF THE LATTER RAIN. 16 HOW MUCH BETTER
IS IT TO GET WISDOM THAN GOLD! AND TO GET UNDERSTANDING
RATHER TO BE CHOSEN THAN SILVER! 17 THE HIGHWAY OF THE
UPRIGHT IS TO DEPART FROM EVIL: HE THAT KEEPETH HIS WAY
PRESERVETH HIS SOUL. 18 PRIDE GOETH BEFORE DESTRUCTION,
AND AN HAUGHTY SPIRIT BEFORE A FALL. 19 BETTER IT IS TO BE OF
AN HUMBLE SPIRIT WITH THE LOWLY, THAN TO DIVIDE THE SPOIL
WITH THE PROUD. 20 HE THAT HANDLETH A MATTER WISELY SHALL
FIND GOOD: AND WHOSO TRUSTETH IN THE LORD, HAPPY IS HE. 21
THE WISE IN HEART SHALL BE CALLED PRUDENT: AND THE
SWEETNESS OF THE LIPS INCREASETH LEARNING. 22
UNDERSTANDING IS A WELLSPRING OF LIFE UNTO HIM THAT HATH
IT: BUT THE INSTRUCTION OF FOOLS IS FOLLY. 23 THE HEART OF THE
809
 PROVERBS
AND THE FATHER OF A FOOL HATH NO JOY. 22 A MERRY HEART
CHAPTER 17 DOETH GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE: BUT A BROKEN SPIRIT DRIETH THE
BONES. 23 A WICKED MAN TAKETH A GIFT OUT OF THE BOSOM TO
PERVERT THE WAYS OF JUDGMENT. 24 WISDOM IS BEFORE HIM THAT
BETTER IS A DRY MORSEL, AND QUIETNESS THEREWITH, THAN AN
HATH UNDERSTANDING; BUT THE EYES OF A FOOL ARE IN THE ENDS
HOUSE FULL OF SACRIFICES WITH STRIFE. 2 A WISE SERVANT SHALL
OF THE EARTH. 25 A FOOLISH SON IS A GRIEF TO HIS FATHER, AND
HAVE RULE OVER A SON THAT CAUSETH SHAME, AND SHALL HAVE
BITTERNESS TO HER THAT BARE HIM. 26 ALSO TO PUNISH THE JUST
PART OF THE INHERITANCE AMONG THE BRETHREN. 3 THE FINING
IS NOT GOOD, NOR TO STRIKE PRINCES FOR EQUITY. 27 HE THAT
POT IS FOR SILVER, AND THE FURNACE FOR GOLD: BUT THE LORD
HATH KNOWLEDGE SPARETH HIS WORDS: AND A MAN OF
TRIETH THE HEARTS. 4 A WICKED DOER GIVETH HEED TO FALSE LIPS;
UNDERSTANDING IS OF AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT. 28 EVEN A FOOL,
AND A LIAR GIVETH EAR TO A NAUGHTY TONGUE. 5 WHOSO
WHEN HE HOLDETH HIS PEACE, IS COUNTED WISE: AND HE THAT
MOCKETH THE POOR REPROACHETH HIS MAKER: AND HE THAT IS
SHUTTETH HIS LIPS IS ESTEEMED A MAN OF UNDERSTANDING.
GLAD AT CALAMITIES SHALL NOT BE UNPUNISHED. 6 CHILDREN’S
CHILDREN ARE THE CROWN OF OLD MEN; AND THE GLORY OF
CHILDREN ARE THEIR FATHERS. 7 EXCELLENT SPEECH BECOMETH
NOT A FOOL: MUCH LESS DO LYING LIPS A PRINCE. 8 A GIFT IS AS A
PRECIOUS STONE IN THE EYES OF HIM THAT HATH IT:
WHITHERSOEVER IT TURNETH, IT PROSPERETH. 9 HE THAT
COVERETH A TRANSGRESSION SEEKETH LOVE; BUT HE THAT
REPEATETH A MATTER SEPARATETH VERY FRIENDS. 10 A REPROOF
ENTERETH MORE INTO A WISE MAN THAN AN HUNDRED STRIPES
INTO A FOOL. 11 AN EVIL MAN SEEKETH ONLY REBELLION:
THEREFORE A CRUEL MESSENGER SHALL BE SENT AGAINST HIM. 12
LET A BEAR ROBBED OF HER WHELPS MEET A MAN, RATHER THAN A
FOOL IN HIS FOLLY. 13 WHOSO REWARDETH EVIL FOR GOOD, EVIL
SHALL NOT DEPART FROM HIS HOUSE. 14 THE BEGINNING OF STRIFE
IS AS WHEN ONE LETTETH OUT WATER: THEREFORE LEAVE OFF
CONTENTION, BEFORE IT BE MEDDLED WITH. 15 HE THAT
JUSTIFIETH THE WICKED, AND HE THAT CONDEMNETH THE JUST,
EVEN THEY BOTH ARE ABOMINATION TO THE LORD. 16 WHEREFORE
IS THERE A PRICE IN THE HAND OF A FOOL TO GET WISDOM, SEEING
HE HATH NO HEART TO IT? 17 A FRIEND LOVETH AT ALL TIMES, AND
A BROTHER IS BORN FOR ADVERSITY. 18 A MAN VOID OF
UNDERSTANDING STRIKETH HANDS, AND BECOMETH SURETY IN THE
PRESENCE OF HIS FRIEND. 19 HE LOVETH TRANSGRESSION THAT
LOVETH STRIFE: AND HE THAT EXALTETH HIS GATE SEEKETH
DESTRUCTION. 20 HE THAT HATH A FROWARD HEART FINDETH NO
GOOD: AND HE THAT HATH A PERVERSE TONGUE FALLETH INTO
MISCHIEF. 21 HE THAT BEGETTETH A FOOL DOETH IT TO HIS SORROW:

INTREATIES; BUT THE RICH ANSWERETH ROUGHLY. 24 A MAN THAT

FRIEND THAT STICKETH CLOSER THAN A BROTHER.

THROUGH DESIRE A MAN, HAVING SEPARATED HIMSELF, SEEKETH

AND INTERMEDDLETH WITH ALL WISDOM. 2 A FOOL HATH NO
DELIGHT IN UNDERSTANDING, BUT THAT HIS HEART MAY DISCOVER
ITSELF. 3 WHEN THE WICKED COMETH, THEN COMETH ALSO
CONTEMPT, AND WITH IGNOMINY REPROACH. 4 THE WORDS OF A
MAN’S MOUTH ARE AS DEEP WATERS, AND THE WELLSPRING OF
WISDOM AS A FLOWING BROOK. 5 IT IS NOT GOOD TO ACCEPT THE
PERSON OF THE WICKED, TO OVERTHROW THE RIGHTEOUS IN
JUDGMENT. 6 A FOOL’S LIPS ENTER INTO CONTENTION, AND HIS
MOUTH CALLETH FOR STROKES. 7 A FOOL’S MOUTH IS HIS
DESTRUCTION, AND HIS LIPS ARE THE SNARE OF HIS SOUL. 8 THE
WORDS OF A TALEBEARER ARE AS WOUNDS, AND THEY GO DOWN
INTO THE INNERMOST PARTS OF THE BELLY. 9 HE ALSO THAT IS
SLOTHFUL IN HIS WORK IS BROTHER TO HIM THAT IS A GREAT
WASTER. 10 THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER: THE
RIGHTEOUS RUNNETH INTO IT, AND IS SAFE. 11 THE RICH MAN’S
WEALTH IS HIS STRONG CITY, AND AS AN HIGH WALL IN HIS OWN
CONCEIT. 12 BEFORE DESTRUCTION THE HEART OF MAN IS HAUGHTY,
AND BEFORE HONOUR IS HUMILITY. 13 HE THAT ANSWERETH A
MATTER BEFORE HE HEARETH IT, IT IS FOLLY AND SHAME UNTO HIM.
14 THE SPIRIT OF A MAN WILL SUSTAIN HIS INFIRMITY; BUT A
WOUNDED SPIRIT WHO CAN BEAR? 15 THE HEART OF THE PRUDENT
GETTETH KNOWLEDGE; AND THE EAR OF THE WISE SEEKETH
KNOWLEDGE. 16 A MAN’S GIFT MAKETH ROOM FOR HIM, AND
BRINGETH HIM BEFORE GREAT MEN. 17 HE THAT IS FIRST IN HIS
OWN CAUSE SEEMETH JUST; BUT HIS NEIGHBOUR COMETH AND
SEARCHETH HIM. 18 THE LOT CAUSETH CONTENTIONS TO CEASE,
AND PARTETH BETWEEN THE MIGHTY. 19 A BROTHER OFFENDED IS
HARDER TO BE WON THAN A STRONG CITY: AND THEIR
CONTENTIONS ARE LIKE THE BARS OF A CASTLE. 20 A MAN’S BELLY
SHALL BE SATISFIED WITH THE FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; AND WITH THE
INCREASE OF HIS LIPS SHALL HE BE FILLED. 21 DEATH AND LIFE ARE
IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE: AND THEY THAT LOVE IT SHALL EAT
THE FRUIT THEREOF. 22 WHOSO FINDETH A WIFE FINDETH A GOOD
THING, AND OBTAINETH FAVOUR OF THE LORD. 23 THE POOR USETH

CHAPTER 19 MAN IS BETTER THAN A LIAR. 23 THE FEAR OF THE LORD TENDETH
TO LIFE: AND HE THAT HATH IT SHALL ABIDE SATISFIED; HE SHALL
NOT BE VISITED WITH EVIL. 24 A SLOTHFUL MAN HIDETH HIS HAND
BETTER IS THE POOR THAT WALKETH IN HIS INTEGRITY, THAN HE
IN HIS BOSOM, AND WILL NOT SO MUCH AS BRING IT TO HIS MOUTH

JUDGMENTS ARE PREPARED FOR SCORNERS, AND STRIPES FOR THE
OF THE POOR DO HATE HIM: HOW MUCH MORE DO HIS FRIENDS GO
BACK OF FOOLS.
FAR FROM HIM? HE PURSUETH THEM WITH WORDS, YET THEY ARE
WANTING TO HIM. 8 HE THAT GETTETH WISDOM LOVETH HIS OWN
SOUL: HE THAT KEEPETH UNDERSTANDING SHALL FIND GOOD. 9 A
FALSE WITNESS SHALL NOT BE UNPUNISHED, AND HE THAT
SPEAKETH LIES SHALL PERISH. 10 DELIGHT IS NOT SEEMLY FOR A
FOOL; MUCH LESS FOR A SERVANT TO HAVE RULE OVER PRINCES. 11
THE DISCRETION OF A MAN DEFERRETH HIS 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 THE INHERITANCE OF FATHERS: AND A
PRUDENT WIFE IS FROM THE LORD. 15 SLOTHFULNESS CASTETH
INTO A DEEP SLEEP; AND AN IDLE SOUL SHALL SUFFER HUNGER. 16
HE THAT KEEPETH THE COMMANDMENT KEEPETH HIS OWN SOUL;
BUT HE THAT DESPISETH HIS WAYS SHALL DIE. 17 HE THAT HATH
PITY UPON THE POOR LENDETH UNTO THE LORD; AND THAT WHICH
HE HATH GIVEN WILL HE PAY HIM AGAIN. 18 CHASTEN THY SON
WHILE THERE IS HOPE, AND LET NOT THY SOUL SPARE FOR HIS
CRYING. 19 A MAN OF GREAT WRATH SHALL SUFFER PUNISHMENT:
FOR IF THOU DELIVER HIM, YET THOU MUST DO IT AGAIN. 20 HEAR

LORD; HOW CAN A MAN THEN UNDERSTAND HIS OWN WAY? 25 IT
IS A SNARE TO THE MAN WHO DEVOURETH THAT WHICH IS HOLY,
WINE IS A MOCKER, STRONG DRINK IS RAGING: AND WHOSOEVER IS
AND AFTER VOWS TO MAKE INQUIRY. 26 A WISE KING SCATTERETH
DECEIVED THEREBY IS NOT WISE. 2 THE FEAR OF A KING IS AS THE
THE WICKED, AND BRINGETH THE WHEEL OVER THEM. 27 THE
ROARING OF A LION: WHOSO PROVOKETH HIM TO ANGER SINNETH
SPIRIT OF MAN IS THE CANDLE OF THE LORD, SEARCHING ALL THE
AGAINST HIS OWN SOUL. 3 IT IS AN HONOUR FOR A MAN TO CEASE
INWARD PARTS OF THE BELLY. 28 MERCY AND TRUTH PRESERVE THE
FROM STRIFE: BUT EVERY FOOL WILL BE MEDDLING. 4 THE

ARE BLESSED AFTER HIM. 8 A KING THAT SITTETH IN THE THRONE
OF JUDGMENT SCATTERETH AWAY ALL EVIL WITH HIS EYES. 9 WHO
CAN SAY, I HAVE MADE MY HEART CLEAN, I AM PURE FROM MY SIN?
10 DIVERS WEIGHTS, AND DIVERS MEASURES, BOTH OF THEM ARE
ALIKE ABOMINATION TO THE LORD. 11 EVEN A CHILD IS KNOWN BY
HIS DOINGS, WHETHER HIS WORK BE PURE, AND WHETHER IT BE
RIGHT. 12 THE HEARING EAR, AND THE SEEING EYE, THE LORD HATH
MADE EVEN BOTH OF THEM. 13 LOVE NOT SLEEP, LEST THOU COME
TO POVERTY; OPEN THINE EYES, AND THOU SHALT BE SATISFIED
WITH BREAD. 14 IT IS NAUGHT, IT IS NAUGHT, SAITH THE BUYER:
BUT WHEN HE IS GONE HIS WAY, THEN HE BOASTETH. 15 THERE IS
GOLD, AND A MULTITUDE OF RUBIES: BUT THE LIPS OF KNOWLEDGE
ARE A PRECIOUS JEWEL. 16 TAKE HIS GARMENT THAT IS SURETY FOR
A STRANGER: AND TAKE A PLEDGE OF HIM FOR A STRANGE WOMAN.
17 BREAD OF DECEIT IS SWEET TO A MAN; BUT AFTERWARDS HIS
MOUTH SHALL BE FILLED WITH GRAVEL. 18 EVERY PURPOSE IS
ESTABLISHED BY COUNSEL: AND WITH GOOD ADVICE MAKE WAR. 19
HE THAT GOETH ABOUT AS A TALEBEARER REVEALETH SECRETS:
THEREFORE MEDDLE NOT WITH HIM THAT FLATTERETH WITH HIS
LIPS. 20 WHOSO CURSETH HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER, HIS LAMP
SHALL BE PUT OUT IN OBSCURE DARKNESS. 21 AN INHERITANCE
MAY BE GOTTEN HASTILY AT THE BEGINNING; BUT THE END

WATER: HE TURNETH IT WHITHERSOEVER HE WILL. 2 EVERY WAY OF
GREEDILY ALL THE DAY LONG: BUT THE RIGHTEOUS GIVETH AND
A MAN IS RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES: BUT THE LORD PONDERETH THE
SPARETH NOT. 27 THE SACRIFICE OF THE WICKED IS ABOMINATION:
HEARTS. 3 TO DO JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT IS MORE ACCEPTABLE TO
HOW MUCH MORE, WHEN HE BRINGETH IT WITH A WICKED MIND?
THE LORD THAN SACRIFICE. 4 AN HIGH LOOK, AND A PROUD HEART,
28 A FALSE WITNESS SHALL PERISH: BUT THE MAN THAT HEARETH
AND THE PLOWING OF THE WICKED, IS SIN. 5 THE THOUGHTS OF
SPEAKETH CONSTANTLY. 29 A WICKED MAN HARDENETH HIS FACE:
THE DILIGENT TEND ONLY TO PLENTEOUSNESS; BUT OF EVERY ONE
BUT AS FOR THE UPRIGHT, HE DIRECTETH HIS WAY. 30 THERE IS NO

BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO DO JUDGMENT. 8 THE WAY OF MAN IS
FROWARD AND STRANGE: BUT AS FOR THE PURE, HIS WORK IS RIGHT.
9 IT IS BETTER TO DWELL IN A CORNER OF THE HOUSETOP, THAN
WITH A BRAWLING WOMAN IN A WIDE HOUSE. 10 THE SOUL OF THE
WICKED DESIRETH EVIL: HIS NEIGHBOUR FINDETH NO FAVOUR IN
HIS EYES. 11 WHEN THE SCORNER IS PUNISHED, THE SIMPLE IS
MADE WISE: AND WHEN THE WISE IS INSTRUCTED, HE RECEIVETH
KNOWLEDGE. 12 THE RIGHTEOUS MAN WISELY CONSIDERETH THE
HOUSE OF THE WICKED: BUT GOD OVERTHROWETH THE WICKED FOR
THEIR WICKEDNESS. 13 WHOSO STOPPETH HIS EARS AT THE CRY OF
THE POOR, HE ALSO SHALL CRY HIMSELF, BUT SHALL NOT BE HEARD.
14 A GIFT IN SECRET PACIFIETH ANGER: AND A REWARD IN THE
BOSOM STRONG WRATH. 15 IT IS JOY TO THE JUST TO DO JUDGMENT:
BUT DESTRUCTION SHALL BE TO THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY. 16 THE
MAN THAT WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING
SHALL REMAIN IN THE CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD. 17 HE THAT
LOVETH PLEASURE SHALL BE A POOR MAN: HE THAT LOVETH WINE
AND OIL SHALL NOT BE RICH. 18 THE WICKED SHALL BE A RANSOM
FOR THE RIGHTEOUS, AND THE TRANSGRESSOR FOR THE UPRIGHT.
19 IT IS BETTER TO DWELL IN THE WILDERNESS, THAN WITH A
CONTENTIOUS AND AN ANGRY WOMAN. 20 THERE IS TREASURE TO
BE DESIRED AND OIL IN THE DWELLING OF THE WISE; BUT A FOOLISH
MAN SPENDETH IT UP. 21 HE THAT FOLLOWETH AFTER

FEAR OF THE LORD ARE RICHES, AND HONOUR, AND LIFE. 5 THORNS
SEEST THOU A MAN DILIGENT IN HIS BUSINESS? HE SHALL STAND
AND SNARES ARE IN THE WAY OF THE FROWARD: HE THAT DOTH
BEFORE KINGS; HE SHALL NOT STAND BEFORE MEAN MEN.
KEEP HIS SOUL SHALL BE FAR FROM THEM. 6 TRAIN UP A CHILD IN
THE WAY HE SHOULD GO: AND WHEN HE IS OLD, HE WILL NOT
DEPART FROM IT. 7 THE RICH RULETH OVER THE POOR, AND THE
BORROWER IS SERVANT TO THE LENDER. 8 HE THAT SOWETH
INIQUITY SHALL REAP VANITY: AND THE ROD OF HIS ANGER SHALL

SENDETH A MESSAGE BY THE HAND OF A FOOL CUTTETH OFF THE
FEET, AND DRINKETH DAMAGE. 7 THE LEGS OF THE LAME ARE NOT

BINDETH A STONE IN A SLING, SO IS HE THAT GIVETH HONOUR TO A
FOOL. 9 AS A THORN GOETH UP INTO THE HAND OF A DRUNKARD,
SO IS A PARABLE IN THE MOUTH OF FOOLS. 10 THE GREAT GOD THAT
FORMED ALL THINGS BOTH REWARDETH THE FOOL, AND

A LION IS IN THE STREETS. 14 AS THE DOOR TURNETH UPON HIS
HINGES, SO DOTH THE SLOTHFUL UPON HIS BED. 15 THE SLOTHFUL
HIDETH HIS HAND IN HIS BOSOM; IT GRIEVETH HIM TO BRING IT
AGAIN TO HIS MOUTH. 16 THE SLUGGARD IS WISER IN HIS OWN
CONCEIT THAN SEVEN MEN THAT CAN RENDER A REASON. 17 HE
THAT PASSETH BY, AND MEDDLETH WITH STRIFE BELONGING NOT

WHERE THERE IS NO TALEBEARER, THE STRIFE CEASETH. 21 AS
COALS ARE TO BURNING COALS, AND WOOD TO FIRE; SO IS A
CONTENTIOUS MAN TO KINDLE STRIFE. 22 THE WORDS OF A
TALEBEARER ARE AS WOUNDS, AND THEY GO DOWN INTO THE
INNERMOST PARTS OF THE BELLY. 23 BURNING LIPS AND A WICKED

MAIDENS.
5 OPEN REBUKE IS BETTER THAN SECRET LOVE. 6 FAITHFUL ARE THE
WOUNDS OF A FRIEND; BUT THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE
DECEITFUL. 7 THE FULL SOUL LOATHETH AN HONEYCOMB; BUT TO
THE HUNGRY SOUL EVERY BITTER THING IS SWEET. 8 AS A BIRD THAT

THAT I MAY ANSWER HIM THAT REPROACHETH ME. 12 A PRUDENT
MAN FORESEETH THE EVIL, AND HIDETH HIMSELF; BUT THE SIMPLE
PASS ON, AND ARE PUNISHED. 13 TAKE HIS GARMENT THAT IS
SURETY FOR A STRANGER, AND TAKE A PLEDGE OF HIM FOR A
STRANGE WOMAN. 14 HE THAT BLESSETH HIS FRIEND WITH A LOUD

TRANSGRESSION OF AN EVIL MAN THERE IS A SNARE: BUT THE
RIGHTEOUS DOTH SING AND REJOICE. 7 THE RIGHTEOUS
CONSIDERETH THE CAUSE OF THE POOR: BUT THE WICKED
REGARDETH NOT TO KNOW IT. 8 SCORNFUL MEN BRING A CITY INTO

THERE IS NO REST. 10 THE BLOODTHIRSTY HATE THE UPRIGHT: BUT

BOTH THEIR EYES. 14 THE KING THAT FAITHFULLY JUDGETH THE
POOR, HIS THRONE SHALL BE ESTABLISHED FOR EVER. 15 THE ROD

BRINGETH HIS MOTHER TO SHAME. 16 WHEN THE WICKED ARE

WHERE THERE IS NO VISION, THE PEOPLE PERISH: BUT HE THAT
KEEPETH THE LAW, HAPPY IS HE. 19 A SERVANT WILL NOT BE
CORRECTED BY WORDS: FOR THOUGH HE UNDERSTAND HE WILL
NOT ANSWER. 20 SEEST THOU A MAN THAT IS HASTY IN HIS WORDS?
THERE IS MORE HOPE OF A FOOL THAN OF HIM. 21 HE THAT

MOCKETH AT HIS FATHER, AND DESPISETH TO OBEY HIS MOTHER,
THE RAVENS OF THE VALLEY SHALL PICK IT OUT, AND THE 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

LAW OF KINDNESS. 27 SHE LOOKETH WELL TO THE WAYS OF HER
HOUSEHOLD, AND EATETH NOT THE BREAD OF IDLENESS. 28 HER

CHILDREN ARISE UP, AND CALL HER BLESSED; HER HUSBAND ALSO,
TAUGHT HIM. 2 WHAT, MY SON? AND WHAT, THE SON OF MY WOMB?
AND HE PRAISETH HER. 29 MANY DAUGHTERS HAVE DONE
AND WHAT, THE SON OF MY VOWS? 3 GIVE NOT THY STRENGTH
VIRTUOUSLY, BUT THOU EXCELLEST THEM ALL. 30 FAVOUR IS
UNTO WOMEN, NOR THY WAYS TO THAT WHICH DESTROYETH KINGS.
DECEITFUL, AND BEAUTY IS VAIN: BUT A WOMAN THAT FEARETH THE

LORD, SHE SHALL BE PRAISED. 31 GIVE HER OF THE FRUIT OF HER
WINE; NOR FOR PRINCES STRONG DRINK: 5 LEST THEY DRINK, AND
HANDS; AND LET HER OWN WORKS PRAISE HER IN THE GATES.
FORGET THE LAW, AND PERVERT THE JUDGMENT OF ANY OF THE
AFFLICTED. 6 GIVE STRONG DRINK UNTO HIM THAT IS READY TO
PERISH, AND WINE UNTO THOSE THAT BE OF HEAVY HEARTS. 7 LET
HIM DRINK, AND FORGET HIS POVERTY, AND REMEMBER HIS MISERY
NO MORE. 8 OPEN THY MOUTH FOR THE DUMB IN THE CAUSE OF
ALL SUCH AS ARE APPOINTED TO DESTRUCTION. 9 OPEN THY MOUTH,
JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY, AND PLEAD THE CAUSE OF THE POOR AND
NEEDY. 10 WHO CAN FIND A VIRTUOUS WOMAN? FOR HER PRICE IS
FAR ABOVE RUBIES. 11 THE HEART OF HER HUSBAND DOTH SAFELY
TRUST IN HER, SO THAT HE SHALL HAVE NO NEED OF SPOIL. 12 SHE
WILL DO HIM GOOD AND NOT EVIL ALL THE DAYS OF HER LIFE. 13
SHE SEEKETH WOOL, AND FLAX, AND WORKETH WILLINGLY WITH
HER HANDS. 14 SHE IS LIKE THE MERCHANTS’ SHIPS; SHE BRINGETH
HER FOOD FROM AFAR. 15 SHE RISETH ALSO WHILE IT IS YET NIGHT,
AND GIVETH MEAT TO HER HOUSEHOLD, AND A PORTION TO HER
MAIDENS. 16 SHE CONSIDERETH A FIELD, AND BUYETH IT: WITH THE
FRUIT OF HER HANDS SHE PLANTETH A VINEYARD. 17 SHE GIRDETH
HER LOINS WITH STRENGTH, AND STRENGTHENETH HER ARMS. 18
SHE PERCEIVETH THAT HER MERCHANDISE IS GOOD: HER CANDLE
GOETH NOT OUT BY NIGHT. 19 SHE LAYETH HER HANDS TO THE
SPINDLE, AND HER HANDS HOLD THE DISTAFF. 20 SHE STRETCHETH
OUT HER 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 HERSELF COVERINGS OF TAPESTRY; HER
CLOTHING IS SILK AND PURPLE. 23 HER HUSBAND IS KNOWN IN THE
GATES, WHEN HE SITTETH AMONG THE ELDERS OF THE LAND. 24
SHE MAKETH FINE LINEN, AND SELLETH IT; AND DELIVERETH
GIRDLES UNTO THE MERCHANT. 25 STRENGTH AND HONOUR ARE

IS VEXATION OF SPIRIT. 18 FOR IN MUCH WISDOM IS MUCH GRIEF:
CHAPTER 1 AND HE THAT INCREASETH KNOWLEDGE INCREASETH SORROW.

THE WORDS OF THE PREACHER, THE SON OF DAVID, KING IN

JERUSALEM. 2 VANITY OF VANITIES, SAITH THE PREACHER, VANITY
OF VANITIES; ALL IS VANITY. 3 WHAT PROFIT HATH A MAN OF ALL
HIS LABOUR WHICH HE TAKETH UNDER THE SUN? 4 ONE
GENERATION PASSETH AWAY, AND ANOTHER GENERATION COMETH:
BUT THE EARTH ABIDETH FOR EVER. 5 THE SUN ALSO ARISETH, AND
THE SUN GOETH DOWN, AND HASTETH TO HIS PLACE WHERE HE
AROSE. 6 THE WIND GOETH TOWARD THE SOUTH, AND TURNETH
ABOUT UNTO THE NORTH; IT WHIRLETH ABOUT CONTINUALLY, AND
THE WIND RETURNETH AGAIN ACCORDING TO HIS CIRCUITS. 7 ALL
THE RIVERS RUN INTO THE SEA; YET THE SEA IS NOT FULL; UNTO
THE PLACE FROM WHENCE THE RIVERS COME, THITHER THEY
RETURN AGAIN. 8 ALL THINGS ARE FULL OF LABOUR; MAN CANNOT
UTTER IT: THE EYE IS NOT SATISFIED WITH SEEING, NOR THE EAR
FILLED WITH HEARING. 9 THE THING THAT HATH BEEN, IT IS THAT
WHICH SHALL BE; AND THAT WHICH IS DONE IS THAT WHICH SHALL
BE DONE: AND THERE IS NO NEW THING UNDER THE SUN. 10 IS
THERE ANY THING WHEREOF IT MAY BE SAID, SEE, THIS IS NEW? IT
HATH BEEN ALREADY OF OLD TIME, WHICH WAS BEFORE US. 11
THERE IS NO REMEMBRANCE OF FORMER THINGS; NEITHER SHALL
THERE BE ANY REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS THAT ARE TO COME WITH
THOSE THAT SHALL COME AFTER. 12 I THE PREACHER WAS KING
OVER ISRAEL IN JERUSALEM. 13 AND I GAVE MY HEART TO SEEK AND
SEARCH OUT BY WISDOM CONCERNING ALL THINGS THAT ARE DONE
UNDER HEAVEN: THIS SORE TRAVAIL HATH GOD GIVEN TO THE SONS
OF MAN TO BE EXERCISED THEREWITH. 14 I HAVE SEEN ALL THE
WORKS THAT ARE DONE UNDER THE SUN; AND, BEHOLD, ALL IS
VANITY AND VEXATION OF SPIRIT. 15 THAT WHICH IS CROOKED
CANNOT BE MADE STRAIGHT: AND THAT WHICH IS WANTING
CANNOT BE NUMBERED. 16 I COMMUNED WITH MINE OWN HEART,
SAYING, LO, I AM COME TO GREAT ESTATE, AND HAVE GOTTEN MORE
WISDOM THAN ALL THEY THAT HAVE BEEN BEFORE ME IN
JERUSALEM: YEA, MY HEART HAD GREAT EXPERIENCE OF WISDOM
AND KNOWLEDGE. 17 AND I GAVE MY HEART TO KNOW WISDOM,
AND TO KNOW MADNESS AND FOLLY: I PERCEIVED THAT THIS ALSO
826
 ECCLESIASTES
WAS I THEN MORE WISE? THEN I SAID IN MY HEART, THAT THIS ALSO
CHAPTER 2 IS VANITY. 16 FOR THERE IS NO REMEMBRANCE OF THE WISE MORE
THAN OF THE FOOL FOR EVER; SEEING THAT WHICH NOW IS IN THE
DAYS TO COME SHALL ALL BE FORGOTTEN. AND HOW DIETH THE
I SAID IN MINE HEART, GO TO NOW, I WILL PROVE THEE WITH MIRTH,
WISE MAN? AS THE FOOL. 17 THEREFORE I HATED LIFE; BECAUSE
THEREFORE ENJOY PLEASURE: AND, BEHOLD, THIS ALSO IS VANITY.
THE WORK THAT IS WROUGHT UNDER THE SUN IS GRIEVOUS UNTO
2 I SAID OF LAUGHTER, IT IS MAD: AND OF MIRTH, WHAT DOETH IT?
ME: FOR ALL IS VANITY AND VEXATION OF SPIRIT. 18 YEA, I HATED
3 I SOUGHT IN MINE HEART TO GIVE MYSELF UNTO WINE, YET
ALL MY LABOUR WHICH I HAD TAKEN UNDER THE SUN: BECAUSE I
ACQUAINTING MINE HEART WITH WISDOM; AND TO LAY HOLD ON
SHOULD LEAVE IT UNTO THE MAN THAT SHALL BE AFTER ME. 19 AND
FOLLY, TILL I MIGHT SEE WHAT WAS THAT GOOD FOR THE SONS OF
WHO KNOWETH WHETHER HE SHALL BE A WISE MAN OR A FOOL?
MEN, WHICH THEY SHOULD DO UNDER THE HEAVEN ALL THE DAYS
YET SHALL HE HAVE RULE OVER ALL MY LABOUR WHEREIN I HAVE
OF THEIR LIFE. 4 I MADE ME GREAT WORKS; I BUILDED ME HOUSES;
LABOURED, AND WHEREIN I HAVE SHEWED MYSELF WISE UNDER
I PLANTED ME VINEYARDS: 5 I MADE ME GARDENS AND ORCHARDS,
THE SUN. THIS IS ALSO VANITY. 20 THEREFORE I WENT ABOUT TO
AND I PLANTED TREES IN THEM OF ALL KIND OF FRUITS: 6 I MADE
CAUSE MY HEART TO DESPAIR OF ALL THE LABOUR WHICH I TOOK
ME POOLS OF WATER, TO WATER THEREWITH THE WOOD THAT
UNDER THE SUN. 21 FOR THERE IS A MAN WHOSE LABOUR IS IN
BRINGETH FORTH TREES: 7 I GOT ME SERVANTS AND MAIDENS, AND
WISDOM, AND IN KNOWLEDGE, AND IN EQUITY; YET TO A MAN THAT
HAD SERVANTS BORN IN MY HOUSE; ALSO I HAD GREAT
HATH NOT LABOURED THEREIN SHALL HE LEAVE IT FOR HIS
POSSESSIONS OF GREAT AND SMALL CATTLE ABOVE ALL THAT WERE
PORTION. THIS ALSO IS VANITY AND A GREAT EVIL. 22 FOR WHAT
IN JERUSALEM BEFORE ME: 8 I GATHERED ME ALSO SILVER AND
HATH MAN OF ALL HIS LABOUR, AND OF THE VEXATION OF HIS
GOLD, AND THE PECULIAR TREASURE OF KINGS AND OF THE
HEART, WHEREIN HE HATH LABOURED UNDER THE SUN? 23 FOR ALL
PROVINCES: I GAT ME MEN SINGERS AND WOMEN SINGERS, AND
HIS DAYS ARE SORROWS, AND HIS TRAVAIL GRIEF; YEA, HIS HEART
THE DELIGHTS OF THE SONS OF MEN, AS MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS,
TAKETH NOT REST IN THE NIGHT. THIS IS ALSO VANITY. 24 THERE IS
AND THAT OF ALL SORTS. 9 SO I WAS GREAT, AND INCREASED MORE
NOTHING BETTER FOR A MAN, THAN THAT HE SHOULD EAT AND
THAN ALL THAT WERE BEFORE ME IN JERUSALEM: ALSO MY WISDOM
DRINK, AND THAT HE SHOULD MAKE HIS SOUL ENJOY GOOD IN HIS
REMAINED WITH ME. 10 AND WHATSOEVER MINE EYES DESIRED I
LABOUR. THIS ALSO I SAW, THAT IT WAS FROM THE HAND OF GOD.
KEPT NOT FROM THEM, I WITHHELD NOT MY HEART FROM ANY JOY;
25 FOR WHO CAN EAT, OR WHO ELSE CAN HASTEN HEREUNTO,
FOR MY HEART REJOICED IN ALL MY LABOUR: AND THIS WAS MY
MORE THAN I? 26 FOR GOD GIVETH TO A MAN THAT IS GOOD IN HIS
PORTION OF ALL MY LABOUR. 11 THEN I LOOKED ON ALL THE WORKS
SIGHT WISDOM, AND KNOWLEDGE, AND JOY: BUT TO THE SINNER
THAT MY HANDS HAD WROUGHT, AND ON THE LABOUR THAT I HAD
HE GIVETH TRAVAIL, TO GATHER AND TO HEAP UP, THAT HE MAY
LABOURED TO DO: AND, BEHOLD, ALL WAS VANITY AND VEXATION
GIVE TO HIM THAT IS GOOD BEFORE GOD. THIS ALSO IS VANITY AND
OF SPIRIT, AND THERE WAS NO PROFIT UNDER THE SUN. 12 AND I
VEXATION OF SPIRIT.
TURNED MYSELF TO BEHOLD WISDOM, AND MADNESS, AND FOLLY:
FOR WHAT CAN THE MAN DO THAT COMETH AFTER THE KING? EVEN
THAT WHICH HATH BEEN ALREADY DONE. 13 THEN I SAW THAT
WISDOM EXCELLETH FOLLY, AS FAR AS LIGHT EXCELLETH DARKNESS.
14 THE WISE MAN’S EYES ARE IN HIS HEAD; BUT THE FOOL WALKETH
IN DARKNESS: AND I MYSELF PERCEIVED ALSO THAT ONE EVENT
HAPPENETH TO THEM ALL. 15 THEN SAID I IN MY HEART, AS IT
HAPPENETH TO THE FOOL, SO IT HAPPENETH EVEN TO ME; AND WHY
827
 ECCLESIASTES
BEFALLETH THEM: AS THE ONE DIETH, SO DIETH THE OTHER; YEA,
CHAPTER 3 THEY HAVE ALL ONE BREATH; SO THAT A MAN HATH NO
PREEMINENCE ABOVE A BEAST: FOR ALL IS VANITY. 20 ALL GO UNTO
ONE PLACE; ALL ARE OF THE DUST, AND ALL TURN TO DUST AGAIN.
TO EVERY THING THERE IS A SEASON, AND A TIME TO EVERY
21 WHO KNOWETH THE SPIRIT OF MAN THAT GOETH UPWARD, AND
PURPOSE UNDER THE HEAVEN: 2 A TIME TO BE BORN, AND A TIME
THE SPIRIT OF THE BEAST THAT GOETH DOWNWARD TO THE EARTH?
TO DIE; A TIME TO PLANT, AND A TIME TO PLUCK UP THAT WHICH IS
22 WHEREFORE I PERCEIVE THAT THERE IS NOTHING BETTER, THAN
PLANTED; 3 A TIME TO KILL, AND A TIME TO HEAL; A TIME TO BREAK
THAT A MAN SHOULD REJOICE IN HIS OWN WORKS; FOR THAT IS HIS
DOWN, AND A TIME TO BUILD UP; 4 A TIME TO WEEP, AND A TIME
PORTION: FOR WHO SHALL BRING HIM TO SEE WHAT SHALL BE
TO LAUGH; A TIME TO MOURN, AND A TIME TO DANCE; 5 A TIME TO
AFTER HIM?
CAST AWAY STONES, AND A TIME TO GATHER STONES TOGETHER; A
TIME TO EMBRACE, AND A TIME TO REFRAIN FROM EMBRACING; 6 A
TIME TO GET, AND A TIME TO LOSE; A TIME TO KEEP, AND A TIME TO
CAST AWAY; 7 A TIME TO REND, AND A TIME TO SEW; A TIME TO
KEEP SILENCE, AND A TIME TO SPEAK; 8 A TIME TO LOVE, AND A
TIME TO HATE; A TIME OF WAR, AND A TIME OF PEACE. 9 WHAT
PROFIT HATH HE THAT WORKETH IN THAT WHEREIN HE LABOURETH?
10 I HAVE SEEN THE TRAVAIL, WHICH GOD HATH GIVEN TO THE SONS
OF MEN TO BE EXERCISED IN IT. 11 HE HATH MADE EVERY THING
BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME: ALSO HE HATH SET THE WORLD IN THEIR
HEART, SO THAT NO MAN CAN FIND OUT THE WORK THAT GOD
MAKETH FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END. 12 I KNOW THAT
THERE IS NO GOOD IN THEM, BUT FOR A MAN TO REJOICE, AND TO
DO GOOD IN HIS LIFE. 13 AND ALSO THAT EVERY MAN SHOULD EAT
AND DRINK, AND ENJOY THE GOOD OF ALL HIS LABOUR, IT IS THE
GIFT OF GOD. 14 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 DOETH IT, THAT MEN SHOULD FEAR BEFORE HIM.
15 THAT WHICH HATH BEEN IS NOW; AND THAT WHICH IS TO BE
HATH ALREADY BEEN; AND GOD REQUIRETH THAT WHICH IS PAST.
16 AND MOREOVER I SAW UNDER THE SUN THE PLACE OF
JUDGMENT, THAT WICKEDNESS WAS THERE; AND THE PLACE OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT INIQUITY WAS THERE. 17 I SAID IN MINE
HEART, GOD SHALL JUDGE THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED: FOR
THERE IS A TIME THERE FOR EVERY PURPOSE AND FOR EVERY WORK.
18 I SAID IN MINE HEART CONCERNING THE ESTATE OF THE SONS
OF MEN, THAT GOD MIGHT MANIFEST THEM, AND THAT THEY MIGHT
SEE THAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE BEASTS. 19 FOR THAT WHICH
BEFALLETH THE SONS OF MEN BEFALLETH BEASTS; EVEN ONE THING
828
 ECCLESIASTES

CHAPTER 4
SO I RETURNED, AND CONSIDERED ALL THE OPPRESSIONS THAT ARE
DONE UNDER THE SUN: AND BEHOLD THE TEARS OF SUCH AS WERE
OPPRESSED, AND THEY HAD NO COMFORTER; AND ON THE SIDE OF
THEIR OPPRESSORS THERE WAS POWER; BUT THEY HAD NO
COMFORTER. 2 WHEREFORE I PRAISED THE DEAD WHICH ARE
ALREADY DEAD MORE THAN THE LIVING WHICH ARE YET ALIVE. 3
YEA, BETTER IS HE THAN BOTH THEY, WHICH HATH NOT YET BEEN,
WHO HATH NOT SEEN THE EVIL WORK THAT IS DONE UNDER THE
SUN. 4 AGAIN, I CONSIDERED ALL TRAVAIL, AND EVERY RIGHT WORK,
THAT FOR THIS A MAN IS ENVIED OF HIS NEIGHBOUR. THIS IS ALSO
VANITY AND VEXATION OF SPIRIT. 5 THE FOOL FOLDETH HIS HANDS
TOGETHER, AND EATETH HIS OWN FLESH. 6 BETTER IS AN HANDFUL
WITH QUIETNESS, THAN BOTH THE HANDS FULL WITH TRAVAIL AND
VEXATION OF SPIRIT. 7 THEN I RETURNED, AND I SAW VANITY
UNDER THE SUN. 8 THERE IS ONE ALONE, AND THERE IS NOT A
SECOND; YEA, HE HATH NEITHER CHILD NOR BROTHER: YET IS
THERE NO END OF ALL HIS LABOUR; NEITHER IS HIS EYE SATISFIED
WITH RICHES; NEITHER SAITH HE, FOR WHOM DO I LABOUR, AND
BEREAVE MY SOUL OF GOOD? THIS IS ALSO VANITY, YEA, IT IS A SORE
TRAVAIL. 9 TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE; BECAUSE THEY HAVE A
GOOD REWARD FOR THEIR LABOUR. 10 FOR IF THEY FALL, THE ONE
WILL LIFT UP HIS FELLOW: BUT WOE TO HIM THAT IS ALONE WHEN
HE FALLETH; FOR HE HATH NOT ANOTHER TO HELP HIM UP. 11
AGAIN, IF TWO LIE TOGETHER, THEN THEY HAVE HEAT: BUT HOW
CAN ONE BE WARM ALONE? 12 AND IF ONE PREVAIL AGAINST HIM,
TWO SHALL WITHSTAND HIM; AND A THREEFOLD CORD IS NOT
QUICKLY BROKEN. 13 BETTER IS A POOR AND A WISE CHILD THAN
AN OLD AND FOOLISH KING, WHO WILL NO MORE BE ADMONISHED.
14 FOR OUT OF PRISON HE COMETH TO REIGN; WHEREAS ALSO HE
THAT IS BORN IN HIS KINGDOM BECOMETH POOR. 15 I CONSIDERED
ALL THE LIVING WHICH WALK UNDER THE SUN, WITH THE SECOND
CHILD THAT SHALL STAND UP IN HIS STEAD. 16 THERE IS NO END OF
ALL THE PEOPLE, EVEN OF ALL THAT HAVE BEEN BEFORE THEM:
THEY ALSO THAT COME AFTER SHALL NOT REJOICE IN HIM. SURELY
THIS ALSO IS VANITY AND VEXATION OF SPIRIT.
829
 ECCLESIASTES
CARRY AWAY IN HIS HAND. 16 AND THIS ALSO IS A SORE EVIL, THAT
CHAPTER 5 IN ALL POINTS AS HE CAME, SO SHALL HE GO: AND WHAT PROFIT
HATH HE THAT HATH LABOURED FOR THE WIND? 17 ALL HIS DAYS
ALSO HE EATETH IN DARKNESS, AND HE HATH MUCH SORROW AND
KEEP THY FOOT WHEN THOU GOEST TO THE HOUSE OF GOD, AND BE
WRATH WITH HIS SICKNESS. 18 BEHOLD THAT WHICH I HAVE SEEN:
MORE READY TO HEAR, THAN TO GIVE THE SACRIFICE OF FOOLS: FOR
IT IS GOOD AND COMELY FOR ONE TO EAT AND TO DRINK, AND TO
THEY CONSIDER NOT THAT THEY DO EVIL. 2 BE NOT RASH WITH THY
ENJOY THE GOOD OF ALL HIS LABOUR THAT HE TAKETH UNDER THE
MOUTH, AND LET NOT THINE HEART BE HASTY TO UTTER ANY THING
SUN ALL THE DAYS OF HIS LIFE, WHICH GOD GIVETH HIM: FOR IT IS
BEFORE GOD: FOR GOD IS IN HEAVEN, AND THOU UPON EARTH:
HIS PORTION. 19 EVERY MAN ALSO TO WHOM GOD HATH GIVEN
THEREFORE LET THY WORDS BE FEW. 3 FOR A DREAM COMETH
RICHES AND WEALTH, AND HATH GIVEN HIM POWER TO EAT
THROUGH THE MULTITUDE OF BUSINESS; AND A FOOL’S VOICE IS
THEREOF, AND TO TAKE HIS PORTION, AND TO REJOICE IN HIS
KNOWN BY MULTITUDE OF WORDS. 4 WHEN THOU VOWEST A VOW
LABOUR; THIS IS THE GIFT OF GOD. 20 FOR HE SHALL NOT MUCH
UNTO GOD, DEFER NOT TO PAY IT; FOR HE HATH NO PLEASURE IN
REMEMBER THE DAYS OF HIS LIFE; BECAUSE GOD ANSWERETH HIM
FOOLS: PAY THAT WHICH THOU HAST VOWED. 5 BETTER IS IT THAT
IN THE JOY OF HIS HEART.
THOU SHOULDEST NOT VOW, THAN THAT THOU SHOULDEST VOW
AND NOT PAY. 6 SUFFER NOT THY MOUTH TO CAUSE THY FLESH TO
SIN; NEITHER SAY THOU BEFORE THE ANGEL, THAT IT WAS AN
ERROR: WHEREFORE SHOULD GOD BE ANGRY AT THY VOICE, AND
DESTROY THE WORK OF THINE HANDS? 7 FOR IN THE MULTITUDE OF
DREAMS AND MANY WORDS THERE ARE ALSO DIVERS VANITIES: BUT
FEAR THOU GOD. 8 IF THOU SEEST THE OPPRESSION OF THE POOR,
AND VIOLENT PERVERTING OF JUDGMENT AND JUSTICE IN A
PROVINCE, MARVEL NOT AT THE MATTER: FOR HE THAT IS HIGHER
THAN THE HIGHEST REGARDETH; AND THERE BE HIGHER THAN THEY.
9 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 IS ALSO VANITY. 11 WHEN
GOODS INCREASE, THEY ARE INCREASED THAT EAT THEM: AND
WHAT GOOD IS THERE TO THE OWNERS THEREOF, SAVING THE
BEHOLDING OF THEM WITH THEIR EYES? 12 THE SLEEP OF A
LABOURING MAN IS SWEET, WHETHER HE EAT LITTLE OR MUCH: BUT
THE ABUNDANCE OF THE RICH WILL NOT SUFFER HIM TO SLEEP. 13
THERE IS A SORE EVIL WHICH I HAVE SEEN UNDER THE SUN,
NAMELY, RICHES KEPT FOR THE OWNERS THEREOF TO THEIR HURT.
14 BUT THOSE RICHES PERISH BY EVIL TRAVAIL: AND HE BEGETTETH
A SON, AND THERE IS NOTHING IN HIS HAND. 15 AS HE CAME FORTH
OF HIS MOTHER’S WOMB, NAKED SHALL HE RETURN TO GO AS HE
CAME, AND SHALL TAKE NOTHING OF HIS LABOUR, WHICH HE MAY
830
 ECCLESIASTES

CHAPTER 6
THERE IS AN EVIL WHICH I HAVE SEEN UNDER THE SUN, AND IT IS
COMMON AMONG MEN: 2 A MAN TO WHOM GOD HATH GIVEN
RICHES, WEALTH, AND HONOUR, SO THAT HE WANTETH NOTHING
FOR HIS SOUL OF ALL THAT HE DESIRETH, 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, AND HIS SOUL BE NOT FILLED WITH GOOD, AND ALSO
THAT HE HAVE NO BURIAL; I SAY, THAT AN UNTIMELY BIRTH IS
BETTER THAN HE. 4 FOR HE COMETH IN WITH VANITY, AND
DEPARTETH IN DARKNESS, AND HIS NAME SHALL BE COVERED WITH
DARKNESS. 5 MOREOVER HE HATH NOT SEEN THE SUN, NOR
KNOWN ANY THING: THIS HATH MORE REST THAN THE OTHER. 6 YEA,
THOUGH HE LIVE A THOUSAND YEARS TWICE TOLD, YET HATH HE
SEEN NO GOOD: DO NOT ALL GO TO ONE PLACE? 7 ALL THE LABOUR
OF MAN IS FOR HIS MOUTH, AND YET THE APPETITE IS NOT FILLED.
8 FOR WHAT HATH THE WISE MORE THAN THE FOOL? WHAT HATH
THE POOR, THAT KNOWETH TO WALK BEFORE THE LIVING? 9 BETTER
IS THE SIGHT OF THE EYES THAN THE WANDERING OF THE DESIRE:
THIS IS ALSO VANITY AND VEXATION OF SPIRIT. 10 THAT WHICH
HATH BEEN IS NAMED ALREADY, AND IT IS KNOWN THAT IT IS MAN:
NEITHER MAY HE CONTEND WITH HIM THAT IS MIGHTIER THAN HE.
11 SEEING THERE BE MANY THINGS THAT INCREASE VANITY, WHAT
IS MAN THE BETTER? 12 FOR WHO KNOWETH WHAT IS GOOD FOR
MAN IN THIS LIFE, 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?

831
 ECCLESIASTES
FOR HE THAT FEARETH GOD SHALL COME FORTH OF THEM ALL. 19
CHAPTER 7 WISDOM STRENGTHENETH THE WISE MORE THAN TEN MIGHTY MEN
WHICH ARE IN THE CITY. 20 FOR THERE IS NOT A JUST MAN UPON
EARTH, THAT DOETH GOOD, AND SINNETH NOT. 21 ALSO TAKE NO
A GOOD NAME IS BETTER THAN PRECIOUS OINTMENT; AND THE DAY
HEED UNTO ALL WORDS THAT ARE SPOKEN; LEST THOU HEAR THY
OF DEATH THAN THE DAY OF ONE’S BIRTH. 2 IT IS BETTER TO GO TO
SERVANT CURSE THEE: 22 FOR OFTENTIMES ALSO THINE OWN
THE HOUSE OF MOURNING, THAN TO GO TO THE HOUSE OF
HEART KNOWETH THAT THOU THYSELF LIKEWISE HAST CURSED
FEASTING: FOR THAT IS THE END OF ALL MEN; AND THE LIVING WILL
OTHERS. 23 ALL THIS HAVE I PROVED BY WISDOM: I SAID, I WILL BE
LAY IT TO HIS HEART. 3 SORROW IS BETTER THAN LAUGHTER: FOR
WISE; BUT IT WAS FAR FROM ME. 24 THAT WHICH IS FAR OFF, AND
BY THE SADNESS OF THE COUNTENANCE THE HEART IS MADE
EXCEEDING DEEP, WHO CAN FIND IT OUT? 25 I APPLIED MINE HEART
BETTER. 4 THE HEART OF THE WISE IS IN THE HOUSE OF MOURNING;
TO KNOW, AND TO SEARCH, AND TO SEEK OUT WISDOM, AND THE
BUT THE HEART OF FOOLS IS IN THE HOUSE OF MIRTH. 5 IT IS BETTER
REASON OF THINGS, AND TO KNOW THE WICKEDNESS OF FOLLY,
TO HEAR THE REBUKE OF THE WISE, THAN FOR A MAN TO HEAR THE
EVEN OF FOOLISHNESS AND MADNESS: 26 AND I FIND MORE BITTER
SONG OF FOOLS. 6 FOR AS THE CRACKLING OF THORNS UNDER A
THAN DEATH THE WOMAN, WHOSE HEART IS SNARES AND NETS,
POT, SO IS THE LAUGHTER OF THE FOOL: THIS ALSO IS VANITY. 7
AND HER HANDS AS BANDS: WHOSO PLEASETH GOD SHALL ESCAPE
SURELY OPPRESSION MAKETH A WISE MAN MAD; AND A GIFT
FROM HER; BUT THE SINNER SHALL BE TAKEN BY HER. 27 BEHOLD,
DESTROYETH THE HEART. 8 BETTER IS THE END OF A THING THAN
THIS HAVE I FOUND, SAITH THE PREACHER, COUNTING ONE BY ONE,
THE BEGINNING THEREOF: AND THE PATIENT IN SPIRIT IS BETTER
TO FIND OUT THE ACCOUNT: 28 WHICH YET MY SOUL SEEKETH, BUT
THAN THE PROUD IN SPIRIT. 9 BE NOT HASTY IN THY SPIRIT TO BE
I FIND NOT: ONE MAN AMONG A THOUSAND HAVE I FOUND; BUT A
ANGRY: FOR ANGER RESTETH IN THE BOSOM OF FOOLS. 10 SAY NOT
WOMAN AMONG ALL THOSE HAVE I NOT FOUND. 29 LO, THIS ONLY
THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER
HAVE I FOUND, THAT GOD HATH MADE MAN UPRIGHT; BUT THEY
THAN THESE? FOR THOU DOST NOT INQUIRE WISELY CONCERNING
HAVE SOUGHT OUT MANY INVENTIONS.
THIS. 11 WISDOM IS GOOD WITH AN INHERITANCE: AND BY IT THERE
IS PROFIT TO THEM THAT SEE THE SUN. 12 FOR WISDOM IS A
DEFENCE, AND MONEY IS A DEFENCE: BUT THE EXCELLENCY OF
KNOWLEDGE IS, THAT WISDOM GIVETH LIFE TO THEM THAT HAVE IT.
13 CONSIDER THE WORK OF GOD: FOR WHO CAN MAKE THAT
STRAIGHT, WHICH HE HATH MADE CROOKED? 14 IN THE DAY OF
PROSPERITY BE JOYFUL, BUT IN THE DAY OF ADVERSITY CONSIDER:
GOD ALSO HATH SET THE ONE OVER AGAINST THE OTHER, TO THE
END THAT MAN SHOULD FIND NOTHING AFTER HIM. 15 ALL THINGS
HAVE I SEEN IN THE DAYS OF MY VANITY: THERE IS A JUST MAN
THAT PERISHETH IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THERE IS A WICKED
MAN THAT PROLONGETH HIS LIFE IN HIS WICKEDNESS. 16 BE NOT
RIGHTEOUS OVER MUCH; NEITHER MAKE THYSELF OVER WISE: WHY
SHOULDEST THOU DESTROY THYSELF? 17 BE NOT OVER MUCH
WICKED, NEITHER BE THOU FOOLISH: WHY SHOULDEST THOU DIE
BEFORE THY TIME? 18 IT IS GOOD THAT THOU SHOULDEST TAKE
HOLD OF THIS; YEA, ALSO FROM THIS WITHDRAW NOT THINE HAND:
832
 ECCLESIASTES
ALSO IS VANITY. 15 THEN I COMMENDED MIRTH, BECAUSE A MAN
CHAPTER 8 HATH NO BETTER THING UNDER THE SUN, THAN TO EAT, AND TO
DRINK, AND TO BE MERRY: FOR THAT SHALL ABIDE WITH HIM OF HIS
LABOUR THE DAYS OF HIS LIFE, WHICH GOD GIVETH HIM UNDER THE
WHO IS AS THE WISE MAN? AND WHO KNOWETH THE
SUN. 16 WHEN I APPLIED MINE HEART TO KNOW WISDOM, AND TO
INTERPRETATION OF A THING? A MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE
SEE THE BUSINESS THAT IS DONE UPON THE EARTH: (FOR ALSO
TO SHINE, AND THE BOLDNESS OF HIS FACE SHALL BE CHANGED. 2
THERE IS THAT NEITHER DAY NOR NIGHT SEETH SLEEP WITH HIS
I COUNSEL THEE TO KEEP THE KING’S COMMANDMENT, AND THAT
EYES:) 17 THEN I BEHELD ALL THE WORK OF GOD, THAT A MAN
IN REGARD OF THE OATH OF GOD. 3 BE NOT HASTY TO GO OUT OF
CANNOT FIND OUT THE WORK THAT IS DONE UNDER THE SUN:
HIS SIGHT: STAND NOT IN AN EVIL THING; FOR HE DOETH
BECAUSE THOUGH A MAN LABOUR TO SEEK IT OUT, YET HE SHALL
WHATSOEVER PLEASETH HIM. 4 WHERE THE WORD OF A KING IS,
NOT FIND IT; YEA FURTHER; THOUGH A WISE MAN THINK TO KNOW
THERE IS POWER: AND WHO MAY SAY UNTO HIM, WHAT DOEST
IT, YET SHALL HE NOT BE ABLE TO FIND IT.
THOU? 5 WHOSO KEEPETH THE COMMANDMENT SHALL FEEL NO
EVIL THING: AND A WISE MAN’S HEART DISCERNETH BOTH TIME
AND JUDGMENT. 6 BECAUSE TO EVERY PURPOSE THERE IS TIME AND
JUDGMENT, THEREFORE THE MISERY OF MAN IS GREAT UPON HIM.
7 FOR HE KNOWETH NOT THAT WHICH SHALL BE: FOR WHO CAN
TELL HIM WHEN IT SHALL BE? 8 THERE IS NO MAN THAT HATH
POWER OVER THE SPIRIT TO RETAIN THE SPIRIT; NEITHER HATH HE
POWER IN THE DAY OF DEATH: AND THERE IS NO DISCHARGE IN
THAT WAR; NEITHER SHALL WICKEDNESS DELIVER THOSE THAT ARE
GIVEN TO IT. 9 ALL THIS HAVE I SEEN, AND APPLIED MY HEART UNTO
EVERY WORK THAT IS DONE UNDER THE SUN: THERE IS A TIME
WHEREIN ONE MAN RULETH OVER ANOTHER TO HIS OWN HURT. 10
AND SO I SAW THE WICKED BURIED, WHO HAD COME AND GONE
FROM THE PLACE OF THE HOLY, AND THEY WERE FORGOTTEN IN
THE CITY WHERE THEY HAD SO DONE: THIS IS ALSO VANITY. 11
BECAUSE SENTENCE AGAINST AN EVIL WORK IS NOT EXECUTED
SPEEDILY, THEREFORE THE HEART OF THE SONS OF MEN IS FULLY
SET IN THEM TO DO EVIL. 12 THOUGH A SINNER DO EVIL AN
HUNDRED TIMES, AND HIS DAYS BE PROLONGED, YET SURELY I
KNOW THAT IT SHALL BE WELL WITH THEM THAT FEAR GOD, WHICH
FEAR BEFORE HIM: 13 BUT IT SHALL NOT BE WELL WITH THE WICKED,
NEITHER SHALL HE PROLONG HIS DAYS, WHICH ARE AS A SHADOW;
BECAUSE HE FEARETH NOT BEFORE GOD. 14 THERE IS A VANITY
WHICH IS DONE UPON THE EARTH; THAT THERE BE JUST MEN, UNTO
WHOM IT HAPPENETH ACCORDING TO THE WORK OF THE WICKED;
AGAIN, THERE BE WICKED MEN, TO WHOM IT HAPPENETH
ACCORDING TO THE WORK OF THE RIGHTEOUS: I SAID THAT THIS
833
 ECCLESIASTES
FISHES THAT ARE TAKEN IN AN EVIL NET, AND AS THE BIRDS THAT
CHAPTER 9 ARE CAUGHT IN THE SNARE; SO ARE THE SONS OF MEN SNARED IN
AN EVIL TIME, WHEN IT FALLETH SUDDENLY UPON THEM. 13 THIS
WISDOM HAVE I SEEN ALSO UNDER THE SUN, AND IT SEEMED GREAT
FOR ALL THIS I CONSIDERED IN MY HEART EVEN TO DECLARE ALL
UNTO ME: 14 THERE WAS A LITTLE CITY, AND FEW MEN WITHIN IT;
THIS, THAT THE RIGHTEOUS, AND THE WISE, AND THEIR WORKS,
AND THERE CAME A GREAT KING AGAINST IT, AND BESIEGED IT, AND
ARE IN THE HAND OF GOD: NO MAN KNOWETH EITHER LOVE OR
BUILT GREAT BULWARKS AGAINST IT: 15 NOW THERE WAS FOUND
HATRED BY ALL THAT IS BEFORE THEM. 2 ALL THINGS COME ALIKE
IN IT A POOR WISE MAN, AND HE BY HIS WISDOM DELIVERED THE
TO ALL: THERE IS ONE EVENT TO THE RIGHTEOUS, AND TO THE
CITY; YET NO MAN REMEMBERED THAT SAME POOR MAN. 16 THEN
WICKED; TO THE GOOD AND TO THE CLEAN, AND TO THE UNCLEAN;
SAID I, WISDOM IS BETTER THAN STRENGTH: NEVERTHELESS THE
TO HIM THAT SACRIFICETH, AND TO HIM THAT SACRIFICETH NOT: AS
POOR MAN’S WISDOM IS DESPISED, AND HIS WORDS ARE NOT
IS THE GOOD, SO IS THE SINNER; AND HE THAT SWEARETH, AS HE
HEARD. 17 THE WORDS OF WISE MEN ARE HEARD IN QUIET MORE
THAT FEARETH AN OATH. 3 THIS IS AN EVIL AMONG ALL THINGS
THAN THE CRY OF HIM THAT RULETH AMONG FOOLS. 18 WISDOM IS
THAT ARE DONE UNDER THE SUN, THAT THERE IS ONE EVENT UNTO
BETTER THAN WEAPONS OF WAR: BUT ONE SINNER DESTROYETH
ALL: YEA, ALSO THE HEART OF THE SONS OF MEN IS FULL OF EVIL,
MUCH GOOD.
AND MADNESS IS IN THEIR HEART WHILE THEY LIVE, AND AFTER
THAT THEY GO TO THE DEAD. 4 FOR TO HIM THAT IS JOINED TO ALL
THE LIVING THERE IS HOPE: FOR A LIVING DOG IS BETTER THAN A
DEAD LION. 5 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 FORGOTTEN. 6 ALSO
THEIR LOVE, AND 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 NOW ACCEPTETH THY WORKS. 8 LET THY GARMENTS BE
ALWAYS WHITE; AND LET THY HEAD LACK NO OINTMENT. 9 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
THIS LIFE, AND IN THY LABOUR WHICH THOU TAKEST UNDER THE
SUN. 10 WHATSOEVER THY HAND FINDETH TO DO, DO IT WITH THY
MIGHT; FOR THERE IS NO WORK, NOR DEVICE, NOR KNOWLEDGE,
NOR WISDOM, IN 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 HAPPENETH
TO THEM ALL. 12 FOR MAN ALSO KNOWETH NOT HIS TIME: AS THE
834
 ECCLESIASTES
THOUGHT; AND CURSE NOT THE RICH IN THY BEDCHAMBER: FOR A
CHAPTER 10 BIRD OF THE AIR SHALL CARRY THE VOICE, AND THAT WHICH HATH
WINGS SHALL TELL THE MATTER.

DEAD FLIES CAUSE THE OINTMENT OF THE APOTHECARY TO SEND

FORTH A STINKING SAVOUR: SO DOTH A LITTLE FOLLY HIM THAT IS
IN REPUTATION FOR WISDOM AND HONOUR. 2 A WISE MAN’S HEART
IS AT HIS RIGHT HAND; BUT A FOOL’S HEART AT HIS LEFT. 3 YEA ALSO,
WHEN HE THAT IS A FOOL WALKETH BY THE WAY, HIS WISDOM
FAILETH HIM, AND HE SAITH TO EVERY ONE THAT HE IS A FOOL. 4 IF
THE SPIRIT OF THE RULER RISE UP AGAINST THEE, LEAVE NOT THY
PLACE; FOR YIELDING PACIFIETH GREAT OFFENCES. 5 THERE IS AN
EVIL WHICH I HAVE SEEN UNDER THE SUN, AS AN ERROR WHICH
PROCEEDETH FROM THE RULER: 6 FOLLY IS SET IN GREAT DIGNITY,
AND THE RICH SIT IN LOW PLACE. 7 I HAVE SEEN SERVANTS UPON
HORSES, AND PRINCES WALKING AS SERVANTS UPON THE EARTH. 8
HE THAT DIGGETH A PIT SHALL FALL INTO IT; AND WHOSO BREAKETH
AN HEDGE, A SERPENT SHALL BITE HIM. 9 WHOSO REMOVETH
STONES SHALL BE HURT THEREWITH; AND HE THAT CLEAVETH
WOOD SHALL BE ENDANGERED THEREBY. 10 IF THE IRON BE BLUNT,
AND HE DO NOT WHET THE EDGE, THEN MUST HE PUT TO MORE
STRENGTH: BUT WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT. 11 SURELY THE
SERPENT WILL BITE WITHOUT ENCHANTMENT; AND A BABBLER IS
NO BETTER. 12 THE WORDS OF A WISE MAN’S MOUTH ARE GRACIOUS;
BUT THE LIPS OF A FOOL WILL SWALLOW UP HIMSELF. 13 THE
BEGINNING OF THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH IS FOOLISHNESS: AND
THE END OF HIS TALK IS MISCHIEVOUS MADNESS. 14 A FOOL ALSO
IS FULL OF WORDS: A MAN CANNOT TELL WHAT SHALL BE; AND
WHAT SHALL BE AFTER HIM, WHO CAN TELL HIM? 15 THE LABOUR
OF THE FOOLISH WEARIETH EVERY ONE OF THEM, BECAUSE HE
KNOWETH NOT HOW TO GO TO THE CITY. 16 WOE TO THEE, O LAND,
WHEN THY KING IS A CHILD, AND THY PRINCES EAT IN THE
MORNING! 17 BLESSED ART THOU, O LAND, WHEN THY KING IS THE
SON OF NOBLES, AND THY PRINCES EAT IN DUE SEASON, FOR
STRENGTH, AND NOT FOR DRUNKENNESS! 18 BY MUCH
SLOTHFULNESS THE BUILDING DECAYETH; AND THROUGH IDLENESS
OF THE HANDS THE HOUSE DROPPETH THROUGH. 19 A FEAST IS
MADE FOR LAUGHTER, AND WINE MAKETH MERRY: BUT MONEY
ANSWERETH ALL THINGS. 20 CURSE NOT THE KING, NO NOT IN THY

CAST THY BREAD UPON THE WATERS: FOR THOU SHALT FIND IT
AFTER MANY DAYS. 2 GIVE A PORTION TO SEVEN, AND ALSO TO
EIGHT; FOR THOU KNOWEST NOT WHAT EVIL SHALL BE UPON THE
EARTH. 3 IF THE CLOUDS BE FULL OF RAIN, THEY EMPTY
THEMSELVES UPON THE EARTH: AND IF THE TREE FALL TOWARD THE
SOUTH, OR TOWARD THE NORTH, IN THE PLACE WHERE THE TREE
FALLETH, THERE IT SHALL BE. 4 HE THAT OBSERVETH THE WIND
SHALL NOT SOW; AND HE THAT REGARDETH THE CLOUDS SHALL NOT
REAP. 5 AS THOU KNOWEST NOT WHAT IS THE WAY OF THE SPIRIT,
NOR HOW THE BONES DO GROW IN THE WOMB OF HER THAT IS

WHO MAKETH ALL. 6 IN THE MORNING SOW THY SEED, AND IN THE
EVENING WITHHOLD NOT THINE HAND: FOR THOU KNOWEST NOT
WHETHER SHALL PROSPER, EITHER THIS OR THAT, OR WHETHER
THEY BOTH SHALL BE ALIKE GOOD. 7 TRULY THE LIGHT IS SWEET,
AND A PLEASANT THING IT IS FOR THE EYES TO BEHOLD THE SUN: 8
BUT IF A MAN LIVE MANY YEARS, AND REJOICE IN THEM ALL; YET
LET HIM REMEMBER THE DAYS OF DARKNESS; FOR THEY SHALL BE
MANY. ALL THAT COMETH IS VANITY. 9 REJOICE, O 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 INTO JUDGMENT. 10 THEREFORE
REMOVE SORROW FROM THY HEART, AND PUT AWAY EVIL FROM THY

REMEMBER NOW THY CREATOR IN THE DAYS OF THY YOUTH, WHILE
THE EVIL DAYS COME NOT, NOR THE YEARS DRAW NIGH, WHEN
THOU SHALT SAY, I HAVE NO PLEASURE IN THEM; 2 WHILE THE SUN,
OR THE LIGHT, OR THE MOON, OR THE STARS, BE NOT DARKENED,
NOR THE CLOUDS RETURN AFTER THE RAIN: 3 IN THE DAY WHEN
THE KEEPERS OF THE HOUSE SHALL TREMBLE, AND THE STRONG
MEN SHALL BOW THEMSELVES, AND THE GRINDERS CEASE BECAUSE
THEY ARE FEW, AND THOSE THAT LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOWS BE
DARKENED, 4 AND THE DOORS SHALL BE SHUT IN THE STREETS,
WHEN THE SOUND OF THE GRINDING IS LOW, AND HE SHALL RISE
UP AT THE VOICE OF THE BIRD, AND ALL THE DAUGHTERS OF MUSICK
SHALL BE BROUGHT LOW; 5 ALSO WHEN THEY SHALL BE AFRAID OF
THAT WHICH IS HIGH, AND FEARS SHALL BE IN THE WAY, AND THE
ALMOND TREE SHALL FLOURISH, AND THE GRASSHOPPER SHALL BE
A BURDEN, AND DESIRE SHALL FAIL: BECAUSE MAN GOETH TO HIS
LONG HOME, AND THE MOURNERS GO ABOUT THE STREETS: 6 OR
EVER THE SILVER CORD BE LOOSED, OR THE GOLDEN BOWL BE
BROKEN, OR THE PITCHER BE BROKEN AT THE FOUNTAIN, OR THE
WHEEL BROKEN AT THE CISTERN. 7 THEN SHALL THE DUST RETURN
TO THE EARTH AS IT WAS: AND THE SPIRIT SHALL RETURN UNTO
GOD WHO GAVE IT. 8 VANITY OF VANITIES, SAITH THE PREACHER;
ALL IS VANITY. 9 AND MOREOVER, BECAUSE THE PREACHER WAS
WISE, HE STILL TAUGHT THE PEOPLE KNOWLEDGE; YEA, HE GAVE
GOOD HEED, AND SOUGHT OUT, AND SET IN ORDER MANY PROVERBS.
10 THE PREACHER SOUGHT TO FIND OUT ACCEPTABLE WORDS: AND
THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN WAS UPRIGHT, EVEN WORDS OF TRUTH.
11 THE WORDS OF THE WISE ARE AS GOADS, AND AS NAILS
FASTENED BY THE MASTERS OF ASSEMBLIES, WHICH ARE GIVEN
FROM ONE SHEPHERD. 12 AND FURTHER, BY THESE, MY SON, BE
ADMONISHED: OF MAKING MANY BOOKS THERE IS NO END; AND
MUCH STUDY IS A WEARINESS OF THE FLESH. 13 LET US HEAR THE
CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER: FEAR GOD, AND KEEP HIS
COMMANDMENTS: FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN. 14 FOR
GOD SHALL BRING EVERY WORK INTO JUDGMENT, WITH EVERY
SECRET THING, WHETHER IT BE GOOD, OR WHETHER IT BE EVIL.

WINE. 3 BECAUSE OF THE SAVOUR OF THY GOOD OINTMENTS THY
NAME IS AS OINTMENT POURED FORTH, THEREFORE DO THE
VIRGINS LOVE THEE. 4 DRAW ME, WE WILL RUN AFTER THEE: THE
KING HATH BROUGHT ME INTO HIS CHAMBERS: WE WILL BE GLAD
AND REJOICE IN THEE, WE WILL REMEMBER THY LOVE MORE THAN

CHILDREN WERE ANGRY WITH ME; THEY MADE ME THE KEEPER OF

TELL ME, O THOU WHOM MY SOUL LOVETH, WHERE THOU FEEDEST,

SHOULD I BE AS ONE THAT TURNETH ASIDE BY THE FLOCKS OF THY

AND FEED THY KIDS BESIDE THE SHEPHERDS’ TENTS. 9 I HAVE

SITTETH AT HIS TABLE, MY SPIKENARD SENDETH FORTH THE SMELL

BY NIGHT ON MY BED I SOUGHT HIM WHOM MY SOUL LOVETH: I
SOUGHT HIM, BUT I FOUND HIM NOT. 2 I WILL RISE NOW, AND GO
ABOUT THE CITY IN THE STREETS, AND IN THE BROAD WAYS I WILL
SEEK HIM WHOM MY SOUL LOVETH: I SOUGHT HIM, BUT I FOUND

BUT A LITTLE THAT I PASSED FROM THEM, BUT I FOUND HIM WHOM

HIMSELF A CHARIOT OF THE WOOD OF LEBANON. 10 HE MADE THE

A FLOCK OF SHEEP THAT ARE EVEN SHORN, WHICH CAME UP FROM
THE WASHING; WHEREOF EVERY ONE BEAR TWINS, AND NONE IS

AND THY SPEECH IS COMELY: THY TEMPLES ARE LIKE A PIECE OF A

I AM COME INTO MY GARDEN, MY SISTER, MY SPOUSE: I HAVE

GATHERED MY MYRRH WITH MY SPICE; I HAVE EATEN MY

MILK: EAT, O FRIENDS; DRINK, YEA, DRINK ABUNDANTLY, O

DEW, AND MY LOCKS WITH THE DROPS OF THE NIGHT. 3 I HAVE PUT
OFF MY COAT; HOW SHALL I PUT IT ON? I HAVE WASHED MY FEET;
HOW SHALL I DEFILE THEM? 4 MY BELOVED PUT IN HIS HAND BY
THE HOLE OF THE DOOR, AND MY BOWELS WERE MOVED FOR HIM.
5 I ROSE UP TO OPEN TO MY BELOVED; AND MY HANDS DROPPED
WITH MYRRH, AND MY FINGERS WITH SWEET SMELLING MYRRH,
UPON THE HANDLES OF THE LOCK. 6 I OPENED TO MY BELOVED; BUT
MY BELOVED HAD WITHDRAWN HIMSELF, AND WAS GONE: MY SOUL
FAILED WHEN HE SPAKE: I SOUGHT HIM, BUT I COULD NOT FIND
HIM; I CALLED HIM, BUT HE GAVE ME NO ANSWER. 7 THE
WATCHMEN THAT WENT ABOUT THE CITY FOUND ME, THEY SMOTE

MY VEIL FROM ME. 8 I CHARGE YOU, O DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM,
IF YE FIND MY BELOVED, THAT YE TELL HIM, THAT I AM SICK OF
LOVE. 9 WHAT IS THY BELOVED MORE THAN ANOTHER BELOVED, O
THOU FAIREST AMONG WOMEN? WHAT IS THY BELOVED MORE THAN

WHO IS SHE THAT LOOKETH FORTH AS THE MORNING, FAIR AS THE

LODGE IN THE VILLAGES. 12 LET US GET UP EARLY TO THE

THERE WILL I GIVE THEE MY LOVES. 13 THE MANDRAKES GIVE A

O THAT THOU WERT AS MY BROTHER, THAT SUCKED THE BREASTS

KISS THEE; YEA, I SHOULD NOT BE DESPISED. 2 I WOULD LEAD THEE,
AND BRING THEE INTO MY MOTHER’S HOUSE, WHO WOULD

COMETH UP FROM THE WILDERNESS, LEANING UPON HER BELOVED?
I RAISED THEE UP UNDER THE APPLE TREE: THERE THY MOTHER
BROUGHT THEE FORTH: THERE SHE BROUGHT THEE FORTH THAT
BARE THEE. 6 SET ME AS A SEAL UPON THINE HEART, AS A SEAL
UPON THINE ARM: FOR LOVE IS STRONG AS DEATH; JEALOUSY IS
CRUEL AS THE GRAVE: THE COALS THEREOF ARE COALS OF FIRE,
WHICH HATH A MOST VEHEMENT FLAME. 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, IT
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 A PALACE OF SILVER: AND IF SHE BE A
DOOR, WE WILL INCLOSE HER WITH BOARDS OF CEDAR. 10 I AM A
WALL, AND MY BREASTS LIKE TOWERS: THEN WAS I IN HIS EYES AS
ONE THAT FOUND FAVOUR. 11 SOLOMON HAD A VINEYARD AT BAAL-
HAMON; HE LET OUT THE VINEYARD UNTO KEEPERS; EVERY ONE FOR
THE FRUIT THEREOF WAS TO BRING A THOUSAND PIECES OF SILVER.
12 MY VINEYARD, WHICH IS MINE, IS BEFORE ME: THOU, O
SOLOMON, MUST HAVE A THOUSAND, AND THOSE THAT KEEP THE
FRUIT THEREOF TWO HUNDRED. 13 THOU THAT DWELLEST IN THE
GARDENS, THE COMPANIONS HEARKEN TO THY VOICE: CAUSE ME
TO HEAR IT. 14 MAKE HASTE, MY BELOVED, AND BE THOU LIKE TO A

WINGS; WITH TWAIN HE COVERED HIS FACE, AND WITH TWAIN HE
COVERED HIS FEET, AND WITH TWAIN HE DID FLY. 3 AND ONE CRIED
UNTO ANOTHER, AND SAID, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, IS THE LORD OF
HOSTS: THE WHOLE EARTH IS FULL OF HIS GLORY. 4 AND THE POSTS
OF THE DOOR MOVED AT THE VOICE OF HIM THAT CRIED, AND THE

AM UNDONE; BECAUSE I AM A MAN OF UNCLEAN LIPS, AND I DWELL
IN THE MIDST OF A PEOPLE OF UNCLEAN LIPS: FOR MINE EYES HAVE
SEEN THE KING, THE LORD OF HOSTS. 6 THEN FLEW ONE OF THE
SERAPHIMS UNTO ME, HAVING A LIVE COAL IN HIS HAND, WHICH
HE HAD TAKEN WITH THE TONGS FROM OFF THE ALTAR: 7 AND HE
LAID IT UPON MY MOUTH, AND SAID, LO, THIS HATH TOUCHED THY
LIPS; AND THINE INIQUITY IS TAKEN AWAY, AND THY SIN PURGED. 8
ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I
SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND

BUT UNDERSTAND NOT; AND SEE YE INDEED, BUT PERCEIVE NOT. 10
MAKE THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE FAT, AND MAKE THEIR EARS
HEAVY, AND SHUT THEIR EYES; LEST THEY SEE WITH THEIR EYES,

WILL PERFORM THIS. 8 THE LORD SENT A WORD INTO JACOB, AND
IT HATH LIGHTED UPON ISRAEL. 9 AND ALL THE PEOPLE SHALL
KNOW, EVEN EPHRAIM AND THE INHABITANT OF SAMARIA, THAT
SAY IN THE PRIDE AND STOUTNESS OF HEART, 10 THE BRICKS ARE
FALLEN DOWN, BUT WE WILL BUILD WITH HEWN STONES: THE
SYCOMORES ARE CUT DOWN, BUT WE WILL CHANGE THEM INTO
CEDARS. 11 THEREFORE THE LORD SHALL SET UP THE ADVERSARIES
OF REZIN AGAINST HIM, AND JOIN HIS ENEMIES TOGETHER; 12 THE
SYRIANS BEFORE, AND THE PHILISTINES BEHIND; AND THEY SHALL
DEVOUR ISRAEL WITH OPEN MOUTH. FOR ALL THIS HIS ANGER IS
NOT TURNED AWAY, BUT HIS HAND IS STRETCHED OUT STILL. 13 FOR
THE PEOPLE TURNETH NOT UNTO HIM THAT SMITETH THEM,

858
 ISAIAH
OPENED THE MOUTH, OR PEEPED. 15 SHALL THE AXE BOAST ITSELF
CHAPTER 10 AGAINST HIM THAT HEWETH THEREWITH? OR SHALL THE SAW
MAGNIFY ITSELF AGAINST HIM THAT SHAKETH IT? AS IF THE ROD
WOE UNTO THEM THAT DECREE UNRIGHTEOUS DECREES, AND THAT SHOULD SHAKE ITSELF AGAINST THEM THAT LIFT IT UP, OR AS IF THE
WRITE GRIEVOUSNESS WHICH THEY HAVE PRESCRIBED; 2 TO TURN STAFF SHOULD LIFT UP ITSELF, AS IF IT WERE NO WOOD. 16
ASIDE THE NEEDY FROM JUDGMENT, AND TO TAKE AWAY THE RIGHT THEREFORE SHALL THE LORD, THE LORD OF HOSTS, SEND AMONG
FROM THE POOR OF MY PEOPLE, THAT WIDOWS MAY BE THEIR PREY, HIS FAT ONES LEANNESS; AND UNDER HIS GLORY HE SHALL KINDLE
AND THAT THEY MAY ROB THE FATHERLESS! 3 AND WHAT WILL YE A BURNING LIKE THE BURNING OF A FIRE. 17 AND THE LIGHT OF
DO IN THE DAY OF VISITATION, AND IN THE DESOLATION WHICH ISRAEL SHALL BE FOR A FIRE, AND HIS HOLY ONE FOR A FLAME: AND
SHALL COME FROM FAR? TO WHOM WILL YE FLEE FOR HELP? AND IT SHALL BURN AND DEVOUR HIS THORNS AND HIS BRIERS IN ONE
WHERE WILL YE LEAVE YOUR GLORY? 4 WITHOUT ME THEY SHALL DAY; 18 AND SHALL CONSUME THE GLORY OF HIS FOREST, AND OF
BOW DOWN UNDER THE PRISONERS, AND THEY SHALL FALL UNDER HIS FRUITFUL FIELD, BOTH SOUL AND BODY: AND THEY SHALL BE AS
THE SLAIN. FOR ALL THIS HIS ANGER IS NOT TURNED AWAY, BUT HIS WHEN A STANDARDBEARER FAINTETH. 19 AND THE REST OF THE
HAND IS STRETCHED OUT STILL. 5 O ASSYRIAN, THE ROD OF MINE TREES OF HIS FOREST SHALL BE FEW, THAT A CHILD MAY WRITE
ANGER, AND THE STAFF IN THEIR HAND IS MINE INDIGNATION. 6 I THEM. 20 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT THE
WILL SEND HIM AGAINST AN HYPOCRITICAL NATION, AND AGAINST REMNANT OF ISRAEL, AND SUCH AS ARE ESCAPED OF THE HOUSE OF
THE PEOPLE OF MY WRATH WILL I GIVE HIM A CHARGE, TO TAKE JACOB, SHALL NO MORE AGAIN STAY UPON HIM THAT SMOTE THEM;
THE SPOIL, AND TO TAKE THE PREY, AND TO TREAD THEM DOWN BUT SHALL STAY UPON THE LORD, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, IN
LIKE THE MIRE OF THE STREETS. 7 HOWBEIT HE MEANETH NOT SO, TRUTH. 21 THE REMNANT SHALL RETURN, EVEN THE REMNANT OF

DESTROY AND CUT OFF NATIONS NOT A FEW. 8 FOR HE SAITH, ARE ISRAEL BE AS THE SAND OF THE SEA, YET A REMNANT OF THEM
NOT MY PRINCES ALTOGETHER KINGS? 9 IS NOT CALNO AS SHALL RETURN: THE CONSUMPTION DECREED SHALL OVERFLOW
CARCHEMISH? IS NOT HAMATH AS ARPAD? IS NOT SAMARIA AS WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS. 23 FOR THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS SHALL
DAMASCUS? 10 AS MY HAND HATH FOUND THE KINGDOMS OF THE MAKE A CONSUMPTION, EVEN DETERMINED, IN THE MIDST OF ALL
IDOLS, AND WHOSE GRAVEN IMAGES DID EXCEL THEM OF THE LAND. 24 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS, O
JERUSALEM AND OF SAMARIA; 11 SHALL I NOT, AS I HAVE DONE MY PEOPLE THAT DWELLEST IN ZION, BE NOT AFRAID OF THE
UNTO SAMARIA AND HER IDOLS, SO DO TO JERUSALEM AND HER ASSYRIAN: HE SHALL SMITE THEE WITH A ROD, AND SHALL LIFT UP
IDOLS? 12 WHEREFORE IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT WHEN THE HIS STAFF AGAINST THEE, AFTER THE MANNER OF EGYPT. 25 FOR
LORD HATH PERFORMED HIS WHOLE WORK UPON MOUNT ZION AND YET A VERY LITTLE WHILE, AND THE INDIGNATION SHALL CEASE,
ON JERUSALEM, I WILL PUNISH THE FRUIT OF THE STOUT HEART OF AND MINE ANGER IN THEIR DESTRUCTION. 26 AND THE LORD OF
THE KING OF ASSYRIA, AND THE GLORY OF HIS HIGH LOOKS. 13 FOR HOSTS SHALL STIR UP A SCOURGE FOR HIM ACCORDING TO THE

MY WISDOM; FOR I AM PRUDENT: AND I HAVE REMOVED THE UPON THE SEA, SO SHALL HE LIFT IT UP AFTER THE MANNER OF
BOUNDS OF THE PEOPLE, AND HAVE ROBBED THEIR TREASURES, EGYPT. 27 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT HIS
AND I HAVE PUT DOWN THE INHABITANTS LIKE A VALIANT MAN: 14 BURDEN SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM OFF THY SHOULDER, AND HIS
AND MY HAND HATH FOUND AS A NEST THE RICHES OF THE PEOPLE: YOKE FROM OFF THY NECK, AND THE YOKE SHALL BE DESTROYED
AND AS ONE GATHERETH EGGS THAT ARE LEFT, HAVE I GATHERED BECAUSE OF THE ANOINTING. 28 HE IS COME TO AIATH, HE IS

CARRIAGES: 29 THEY ARE GONE OVER THE PASSAGE: THEY HAVE
TAKEN UP THEIR LODGING AT GEBA; RAMAH IS AFRAID; GIBEAH OF

CAUSE IT TO BE HEARD UNTO LAISH, O POOR ANATHOTH. 31
MADMENAH IS REMOVED; THE INHABITANTS OF GEBIM GATHER
THEMSELVES TO FLEE. 32 AS YET SHALL HE REMAIN AT NOB THAT
DAY: HE SHALL SHAKE HIS HAND AGAINST THE MOUNT OF THE
DAUGHTER OF ZION, THE HILL OF JERUSALEM. 33 BEHOLD, THE
LORD, THE LORD OF HOSTS, SHALL LOP THE BOUGH WITH TERROR:
AND THE HIGH ONES OF STATURE SHALL BE HEWN DOWN, AND THE

SLAY THE WICKED. 5 AND RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL BE THE GIRDLE
OF HIS LOINS, AND FAITHFULNESS THE GIRDLE OF HIS REINS. 6 THE
WOLF ALSO SHALL DWELL WITH THE LAMB, AND THE LEOPARD
SHALL LIE DOWN WITH THE KID; AND THE CALF AND THE YOUNG
LION AND THE FATLING TOGETHER; AND A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD

ONES SHALL LIE DOWN TOGETHER: AND THE LION SHALL EAT
STRAW LIKE THE OX. 8 AND THE SUCKING CHILD SHALL PLAY ON
THE HOLE OF THE ASP, AND THE WEANED CHILD SHALL PUT HIS
HAND ON THE COCKATRICE’ DEN. 9 THEY SHALL NOT HURT NOR
DESTROY IN ALL MY HOLY MOUNTAIN: FOR THE EARTH SHALL BE
FULL OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD, AS THE WATERS COVER

WHICH SHALL STAND FOR AN ENSIGN OF THE PEOPLE; TO IT SHALL
THE GENTILES SEEK: AND HIS REST SHALL BE GLORIOUS. 11 AND IT
SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT THE LORD SHALL SET HIS

FROM SHINAR, AND FROM HAMATH, AND FROM THE ISLANDS OF

SHALL NOT CAUSE HER LIGHT TO SHINE. 11 AND I WILL PUNISH THE

I WILL CAUSE THE ARROGANCY OF THE PROUD TO CEASE, AND WILL
LAY LOW THE HAUGHTINESS OF THE TERRIBLE. 12 I WILL MAKE A
MAN MORE PRECIOUS THAN FINE GOLD; EVEN A MAN THAN THE

TOPS OF THEIR HOUSES, AND IN THEIR STREETS, EVERY ONE SHALL

THEREFORE THE ARMED SOLDIERS OF MOAB SHALL CRY OUT; HIS
LIFE SHALL BE GRIEVOUS UNTO HIM. 5 MY HEART SHALL CRY OUT
FOR MOAB; HIS FUGITIVES SHALL FLEE UNTO ZOAR, AN HEIFER OF
THREE YEARS OLD: FOR BY THE MOUNTING UP OF LUHITH WITH
WEEPING SHALL THEY GO IT UP; FOR IN THE WAY OF HORONAIM
THEY SHALL RAISE UP A CRY OF DESTRUCTION. 6 FOR THE WATERS
OF NIMRIM SHALL BE DESOLATE: FOR THE HAY IS WITHERED AWAY,
THE GRASS FAILETH, THERE IS NO GREEN THING. 7 THEREFORE THE
ABUNDANCE THEY HAVE GOTTEN, AND THAT WHICH THEY HAVE
LAID UP, SHALL THEY CARRY AWAY TO THE BROOK OF THE WILLOWS.
8 FOR THE CRY IS GONE ROUND ABOUT THE BORDERS OF MOAB; THE
HOWLING THEREOF UNTO EGLAIM, AND THE HOWLING THEREOF
UNTO BEERELIM. 9 FOR THE WATERS OF DIMON SHALL BE FULL OF
BLOOD: FOR I WILL BRING MORE UPON DIMON, LIONS UPON HIM
THAT ESCAPETH OF MOAB, AND UPON THE REMNANT OF THE LAND.

CHAPTER 16 SINCE THAT TIME. 14 BUT NOW THE LORD HATH SPOKEN, SAYING,
WITHIN THREE YEARS, AS THE YEARS OF AN HIRELING, AND THE

WILDERNESS, UNTO THE MOUNT OF THE DAUGHTER OF ZION. 2 FOR MULTITUDE; AND THE REMNANT SHALL BE VERY SMALL AND FEEBLE.
IT SHALL BE, THAT, AS A WANDERING BIRD CAST OUT OF THE NEST,
SO THE DAUGHTERS OF MOAB SHALL BE AT THE FORDS OF ARNON.
3 TAKE COUNSEL, EXECUTE JUDGMENT; MAKE THY SHADOW AS THE
NIGHT IN THE MIDST OF THE NOONDAY; HIDE THE OUTCASTS;
BEWRAY NOT HIM THAT WANDERETH. 4 LET MINE OUTCASTS DWELL
WITH THEE, MOAB; BE THOU A COVERT TO THEM FROM THE FACE
OF THE SPOILER: FOR THE EXTORTIONER IS AT AN END, THE SPOILER
CEASETH, THE OPPRESSORS ARE CONSUMED OUT OF THE LAND. 5
AND IN MERCY SHALL THE THRONE BE ESTABLISHED: AND HE SHALL
SIT UPON IT IN TRUTH IN THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID, JUDGING, AND
SEEKING JUDGMENT, AND HASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS. 6 WE HAVE
HEARD OF THE PRIDE OF MOAB; HE IS VERY PROUD: EVEN OF HIS
HAUGHTINESS, AND HIS PRIDE, AND HIS WRATH: BUT HIS LIES
SHALL NOT BE SO. 7 THEREFORE SHALL MOAB HOWL FOR MOAB,
EVERY ONE SHALL HOWL: FOR THE FOUNDATIONS OF KIR-
HARESETH SHALL YE MOURN; SURELY THEY ARE STRICKEN. 8 FOR
THE FIELDS OF HESHBON LANGUISH, AND THE VINE OF SIBMAH: THE
LORDS OF THE HEATHEN HAVE BROKEN DOWN THE PRINCIPAL
PLANTS THEREOF, THEY ARE COME EVEN UNTO JAZER, THEY
WANDERED THROUGH THE WILDERNESS: HER BRANCHES ARE
STRETCHED OUT, THEY ARE GONE OVER THE SEA. 9 THEREFORE I
WILL BEWAIL WITH THE WEEPING OF JAZER THE VINE OF SIBMAH: I
WILL WATER THEE WITH MY TEARS, O HESHBON, AND ELEALEH: FOR
THE SHOUTING FOR THY SUMMER FRUITS AND FOR THY HARVEST IS
FALLEN. 10 AND GLADNESS IS TAKEN AWAY, AND JOY OUT OF THE
PLENTIFUL FIELD; AND IN THE VINEYARDS THERE SHALL BE NO
SINGING, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE SHOUTING: THE TREADERS
SHALL TREAD OUT NO WINE IN THEIR PRESSES; I HAVE MADE THEIR
VINTAGE SHOUTING TO CEASE. 11 WHEREFORE MY BOWELS SHALL
SOUND LIKE AN HARP FOR MOAB, AND MINE INWARD PARTS FOR
KIR-HARESH. 12 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, WHEN IT IS SEEN
THAT MOAB IS WEARY ON THE HIGH PLACE, THAT HE SHALL COME
TO HIS SANCTUARY TO PRAY; BUT HE SHALL NOT PREVAIL. 13 THIS

FROM BEING A CITY, AND IT SHALL BE A RUINOUS HEAP. 2 THE THAT SPOIL US, AND THE LOT OF THEM THAT ROB US.
CITIES OF AROER ARE FORSAKEN: THEY SHALL BE FOR FLOCKS,
WHICH SHALL LIE DOWN, AND NONE SHALL MAKE THEM AFRAID. 3
THE FORTRESS ALSO SHALL CEASE FROM EPHRAIM, AND THE
KINGDOM FROM DAMASCUS, AND THE REMNANT OF SYRIA: THEY

LORD OF HOSTS. 4 AND IN THAT DAY IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT
THE GLORY OF JACOB SHALL BE MADE THIN, AND THE FATNESS OF
HIS FLESH SHALL WAX LEAN. 5 AND IT SHALL BE AS WHEN THE
HARVESTMAN GATHERETH THE CORN, AND REAPETH THE EARS
WITH HIS ARM; AND IT SHALL BE AS HE THAT GATHERETH EARS IN
THE VALLEY OF REPHAIM. 6 YET GLEANING GRAPES SHALL BE LEFT
IN IT, AS THE SHAKING OF AN OLIVE TREE, TWO OR THREE BERRIES
IN THE TOP OF THE UPPERMOST BOUGH, FOUR OR FIVE IN THE
OUTMOST FRUITFUL BRANCHES THEREOF, SAITH THE LORD GOD OF
ISRAEL. 7 AT THAT DAY SHALL A MAN LOOK TO HIS MAKER, AND HIS
EYES SHALL HAVE RESPECT TO THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. 8 AND HE
SHALL NOT LOOK TO THE ALTARS, THE WORK OF HIS HANDS,
NEITHER SHALL RESPECT THAT WHICH HIS FINGERS HAVE MADE,
EITHER THE GROVES, OR THE IMAGES. 9 IN THAT DAY SHALL HIS
STRONG CITIES BE AS A FORSAKEN BOUGH, AND AN UPPERMOST
BRANCH, WHICH THEY LEFT BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL:
AND THERE SHALL BE DESOLATION. 10 BECAUSE THOU HAST
FORGOTTEN THE GOD OF THY SALVATION, AND HAST NOT BEEN
MINDFUL OF THE ROCK OF THY STRENGTH, THEREFORE SHALT THOU
PLANT PLEASANT PLANTS, AND SHALT SET IT WITH STRANGE SLIPS:
11 IN THE DAY SHALT THOU MAKE THY PLANT TO GROW, AND IN THE
MORNING SHALT THOU MAKE THY SEED TO FLOURISH: BUT THE
HARVEST SHALL BE A HEAP IN THE DAY OF GRIEF AND OF DESPERATE
SORROW. 12 WOE TO THE MULTITUDE OF MANY PEOPLE, WHICH
MAKE A NOISE LIKE THE NOISE OF THE SEAS; AND TO THE RUSHING

OF THE EARTH SHALL WINTER UPON THEM. 7 IN THAT TIME SHALL

CHAPTER 20
IN THE YEAR THAT TARTAN CAME UNTO ASHDOD, (WHEN SARGON
THE KING OF ASSYRIA SENT HIM,) AND FOUGHT AGAINST ASHDOD,
AND TOOK IT; 2 AT THE SAME TIME SPAKE THE LORD BY ISAIAH THE
SON OF AMOZ, SAYING, GO AND LOOSE THE SACKCLOTH FROM OFF
THY LOINS, AND PUT OFF THY SHOE FROM THY FOOT. AND HE DID
SO, WALKING NAKED AND BAREFOOT. 3 AND THE LORD SAID, LIKE
AS MY SERVANT ISAIAH HATH WALKED NAKED AND BAREFOOT
THREE YEARS FOR A SIGN AND WONDER UPON EGYPT AND UPON
ETHIOPIA; 4 SO SHALL THE KING OF ASSYRIA LEAD AWAY THE
EGYPTIANS PRISONERS, AND THE ETHIOPIANS CAPTIVES, YOUNG

UNCOVERED, TO THE SHAME OF EGYPT. 5 AND THEY SHALL BE
AFRAID AND ASHAMED OF ETHIOPIA THEIR EXPECTATION, AND OF

SIGHING THEREOF HAVE I MADE TO CEASE. 3 THEREFORE ARE MY
LOINS FILLED WITH PAIN: PANGS HAVE TAKEN HOLD UPON ME, AS
THE PANGS OF A WOMAN THAT TRAVAILETH: I WAS BOWED DOWN
AT THE HEARING OF IT; I WAS DISMAYED AT THE SEEING OF IT. 4 MY

PLEASURE HATH HE TURNED INTO FEAR UNTO ME. 5 PREPARE THE
TABLE, WATCH IN THE WATCHTOWER, EAT, DRINK: ARISE, YE
PRINCES, AND ANOINT THE SHIELD. 6 FOR THUS HATH THE LORD
SAID UNTO ME, GO, SET A WATCHMAN, LET HIM DECLARE WHAT HE
SEETH. 7 AND HE SAW A CHARIOT WITH A COUPLE OF HORSEMEN,
A CHARIOT OF ASSES, AND A CHARIOT OF CAMELS; AND HE
HEARKENED DILIGENTLY WITH MUCH HEED: 8 AND HE CRIED, A
LION: MY LORD, I STAND CONTINUALLY UPON THE WATCHTOWER
IN THE DAYTIME, AND I AM SET IN MY WARD WHOLE NIGHTS: 9 AND,
BEHOLD, HERE COMETH A CHARIOT OF MEN, WITH A COUPLE OF
HORSEMEN. AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID, BABYLON IS FALLEN, IS
FALLEN; AND ALL THE GRAVEN IMAGES OF HER GODS HE HATH
BROKEN UNTO THE GROUND. 10 O MY THRESHING, AND THE CORN

WHOSE ANTIQUITY IS OF ANCIENT DAYS? HER OWN FEET SHALL
CARRY HER AFAR OFF TO SOJOURN. 8 WHO HATH TAKEN THIS
COUNSEL AGAINST TYRE, THE CROWNING CITY, WHOSE MERCHANTS
ARE PRINCES, WHOSE TRAFFICKERS ARE THE HONOURABLE OF THE

PRIDE OF ALL GLORY, AND TO BRING INTO CONTEMPT ALL THE
HONOURABLE OF THE EARTH. 10 PASS THROUGH THY LAND AS A
RIVER, O DAUGHTER OF TARSHISH: THERE IS NO MORE STRENGTH.
11 HE STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND OVER THE SEA, HE SHOOK THE
KINGDOMS: THE LORD HATH GIVEN A COMMANDMENT AGAINST THE
MERCHANT CITY, TO DESTROY THE STRONG HOLDS THEREOF. 12
AND HE SAID, THOU SHALT NO MORE REJOICE, O THOU OPPRESSED
VIRGIN, DAUGHTER OF ZIDON: ARISE, PASS OVER TO CHITTIM;
THERE ALSO SHALT THOU HAVE NO REST. 13 BEHOLD THE LAND OF
THE CHALDEANS; THIS PEOPLE WAS NOT, TILL THE ASSYRIAN
FOUNDED IT FOR THEM THAT DWELL IN THE WILDERNESS: THEY SET
UP THE TOWERS THEREOF, THEY RAISED UP THE PALACES THEREOF;
AND HE BROUGHT IT TO RUIN. 14 HOWL, YE SHIPS OF TARSHISH:
FOR YOUR STRENGTH IS LAID WASTE. 15 AND IT SHALL COME TO
PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT TYRE SHALL BE FORGOTTEN SEVENTY

MY LEANNESS, WOE UNTO ME! THE TREACHEROUS DEALERS HAVE
CHAPTER 24 DEALT TREACHEROUSLY; YEA, THE TREACHEROUS DEALERS HAVE
DEALT VERY TREACHEROUSLY. 17 FEAR, AND THE PIT, AND THE
BEHOLD, THE LORD MAKETH THE EARTH EMPTY, AND MAKETH IT SNARE, ARE UPON THEE, O INHABITANT OF THE EARTH. 18 AND IT

O LORD, THOU ART MY GOD; I WILL EXALT THEE, I WILL PRAISE THY
NAME; FOR THOU HAST DONE WONDERFUL THINGS; THY COUNSELS
OF OLD ARE FAITHFULNESS AND TRUTH. 2 FOR THOU HAST MADE OF
A CITY AN HEAP; OF A DEFENCED CITY A RUIN: A PALACE OF
STRANGERS TO BE NO CITY; IT SHALL NEVER BE BUILT. 3 THEREFORE
SHALL THE STRONG PEOPLE GLORIFY THEE, THE CITY OF THE
TERRIBLE NATIONS SHALL FEAR THEE. 4 FOR THOU HAST BEEN A

DISTRESS, A REFUGE FROM THE STORM, A SHADOW FROM THE HEAT,

AS THE HEAT IN A DRY PLACE; EVEN THE HEAT WITH THE SHADOW
OF A CLOUD: THE BRANCH OF THE TERRIBLE ONES SHALL BE
BROUGHT LOW. 6 AND IN THIS MOUNTAIN SHALL THE LORD OF

MOUNTAIN THE FACE OF THE COVERING CAST OVER ALL PEOPLE,
AND THE VAIL THAT IS SPREAD OVER ALL NATIONS. 8 HE WILL
SWALLOW UP DEATH IN VICTORY; AND THE LORD GOD WILL WIPE
AWAY TEARS FROM OFF ALL FACES; AND THE REBUKE OF HIS PEOPLE

MIDST OF THEM, AS HE THAT SWIMMETH SPREADETH FORTH HIS
HANDS TO SWIM: AND HE SHALL BRING DOWN THEIR PRIDE

FOR THEIR ENVY AT THE PEOPLE; YEA, THE FIRE OF THINE ENEMIES

STAYETH HIS ROUGH WIND IN THE DAY OF THE EAST WIND. 9 BY

HORSES, AND TRUST IN CHARIOTS, BECAUSE THEY ARE MANY; AND
IN HORSEMEN, BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY STRONG; BUT THEY LOOK
NOT UNTO THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, NEITHER SEEK THE LORD! 2
YET HE ALSO IS WISE, AND WILL BRING EVIL, AND WILL NOT CALL
BACK HIS WORDS: BUT WILL ARISE AGAINST THE HOUSE OF THE
EVILDOERS, AND AGAINST THE HELP OF THEM THAT WORK INIQUITY.
3 NOW THE EGYPTIANS ARE MEN, AND NOT GOD; AND THEIR HORSES

4 FOR THUS HATH THE LORD SPOKEN UNTO ME, LIKE AS THE LION
AND THE YOUNG LION ROARING ON HIS PREY, WHEN A MULTITUDE
OF SHEPHERDS IS CALLED FORTH AGAINST HIM, HE WILL NOT BE
AFRAID OF THEIR VOICE, NOR ABASE HIMSELF FOR THE NOISE OF

ASSYRIAN FALL WITH THE SWORD, NOT OF A MIGHTY MAN; AND THE

FLEE FROM THE SWORD, AND HIS YOUNG MEN SHALL BE
DISCOMFITED. 9 AND HE SHALL PASS OVER TO HIS STRONG HOLD

ONE CAPTAIN OF THE LEAST OF MY MASTER’S SERVANTS, AND PUT THEIR CLOTHES RENT, AND TOLD HIM THE WORDS OF RABSHAKEH.
THY TRUST ON EGYPT FOR CHARIOTS AND FOR HORSEMEN? 10 AND
AM I NOW COME UP WITHOUT THE LORD AGAINST THIS LAND TO
DESTROY IT? THE LORD SAID UNTO ME, GO UP AGAINST THIS LAND,
AND DESTROY IT. 11 THEN SAID ELIAKIM AND SHEBNA AND JOAH
UNTO RABSHAKEH, SPEAK, I PRAY THEE, UNTO THY SERVANTS IN
THE SYRIAN LANGUAGE; FOR WE UNDERSTAND IT: AND SPEAK NOT
TO US IN THE JEWS’ LANGUAGE, IN THE EARS OF THE PEOPLE THAT
ARE ON THE WALL. 12 BUT RABSHAKEH SAID, HATH MY MASTER
SENT ME TO THY MASTER AND TO THEE TO SPEAK THESE WORDS?
HATH HE NOT SENT ME TO THE MEN THAT SIT UPON THE WALL,

RENT HIS CLOTHES, AND COVERED HIMSELF WITH SACKCLOTH, AND AND HEZEKIAH PRAYED UNTO THE LORD, SAYING, 16 O LORD OF

WAS OVER THE HOUSEHOLD, AND SHEBNA THE SCRIBE, AND THE THOU ART THE GOD, EVEN THOU ALONE, OF ALL THE KINGDOMS OF
ELDERS OF THE PRIESTS COVERED WITH SACKCLOTH, UNTO ISAIAH THE EARTH: THOU HAST MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH. 17 INCLINE
THE PROPHET THE SON OF AMOZ. 3 AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM, THUS THINE EAR, O LORD, AND HEAR; OPEN THINE EYES, O LORD, AND
SAITH HEZEKIAH, THIS DAY IS A DAY OF TROUBLE, AND OF REBUKE, SEE: AND HEAR ALL THE WORDS OF SENNACHERIB, WHICH HATH
AND OF BLASPHEMY: FOR THE CHILDREN ARE COME TO THE BIRTH, SENT TO REPROACH THE LIVING GOD. 18 OF A TRUTH, LORD, THE
AND THERE IS NOT STRENGTH TO BRING FORTH. 4 IT MAY BE THE KINGS OF ASSYRIA HAVE LAID WASTE ALL THE NATIONS, AND THEIR
LORD THY GOD WILL HEAR THE WORDS OF RABSHAKEH, WHOM THE COUNTRIES, 19 AND HAVE CAST THEIR GODS INTO THE FIRE: FOR
KING OF ASSYRIA HIS MASTER HATH SENT TO REPROACH THE LIVING THEY WERE NO GODS, BUT THE WORK OF MEN’S HANDS, WOOD AND
GOD, AND WILL REPROVE THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD THY GOD STONE: THEREFORE THEY HAVE DESTROYED THEM. 20 NOW
HATH HEARD: WHEREFORE LIFT UP THY PRAYER FOR THE REMNANT THEREFORE, O LORD OUR GOD, SAVE US FROM HIS HAND, THAT ALL
THAT IS LEFT. 5 SO THE SERVANTS OF KING HEZEKIAH CAME TO THE KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH MAY KNOW THAT THOU ART THE
ISAIAH. 6 AND ISAIAH SAID UNTO THEM, THUS SHALL YE SAY UNTO LORD, EVEN THOU ONLY. 21 THEN ISAIAH THE SON OF AMOZ SENT
YOUR MASTER, THUS SAITH THE LORD, BE NOT AFRAID OF THE UNTO HEZEKIAH, SAYING, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL,
WORDS THAT THOU HAST HEARD, WHEREWITH THE SERVANTS OF WHEREAS THOU HAST PRAYED TO ME AGAINST SENNACHERIB KING
THE KING OF ASSYRIA HAVE BLASPHEMED ME. 7 BEHOLD, I WILL OF ASSYRIA: 22 THIS IS THE WORD WHICH THE LORD HATH SPOKEN
SEND A BLAST UPON HIM, AND HE SHALL HEAR A RUMOUR, AND CONCERNING HIM; THE VIRGIN, THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, HATH
RETURN TO HIS OWN LAND; AND I WILL CAUSE HIM TO FALL BY THE DESPISED THEE, AND LAUGHED THEE TO SCORN; THE DAUGHTER OF
SWORD IN HIS OWN LAND. 8 SO RABSHAKEH RETURNED, AND JERUSALEM HATH SHAKEN HER HEAD AT THEE. 23 WHOM HAST
FOUND THE KING OF ASSYRIA WARRING AGAINST LIBNAH: FOR HE THOU REPROACHED AND BLASPHEMED? AND AGAINST WHOM HAST
HAD HEARD THAT HE WAS DEPARTED FROM LACHISH. 9 AND HE THOU EXALTED THY VOICE, AND LIFTED UP THINE EYES ON HIGH?
HEARD SAY CONCERNING TIRHAKAH KING OF ETHIOPIA, HE IS COME EVEN AGAINST THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. 24 BY THY SERVANTS HAST
FORTH TO MAKE WAR WITH THEE. AND WHEN HE HEARD IT, HE SENT THOU REPROACHED THE LORD, AND HAST SAID, BY THE MULTITUDE
MESSENGERS TO HEZEKIAH, SAYING, 10 THUS SHALL YE SPEAK TO OF MY CHARIOTS AM I COME UP TO THE HEIGHT OF THE MOUNTAINS,
HEZEKIAH KING OF JUDAH, SAYING, LET NOT THY GOD, IN WHOM TO THE SIDES OF LEBANON; AND I WILL CUT DOWN THE TALL
THOU TRUSTEST, DECEIVE THEE, SAYING, JERUSALEM SHALL NOT BE CEDARS THEREOF, AND THE CHOICE FIR TREES THEREOF: AND I WILL
GIVEN INTO THE HAND OF THE KING OF ASSYRIA. 11 BEHOLD, THOU ENTER INTO THE HEIGHT OF HIS BORDER, AND THE FOREST OF HIS
HAST HEARD WHAT THE KINGS OF ASSYRIA HAVE DONE TO ALL CARMEL. 25 I HAVE DIGGED, AND DRUNK WATER; AND WITH THE
LANDS BY DESTROYING THEM UTTERLY; AND SHALT THOU BE SOLE OF MY FEET HAVE I DRIED UP ALL THE RIVERS OF THE BESIEGED
DELIVERED? 12 HAVE THE GODS OF THE NATIONS DELIVERED THEM PLACES. 26 HAST THOU NOT HEARD LONG AGO, HOW I HAVE DONE
WHICH MY FATHERS HAVE DESTROYED, AS GOZAN, AND HARAN, IT; AND OF ANCIENT TIMES, THAT I HAVE FORMED IT? NOW HAVE I
AND REZEPH, AND THE CHILDREN OF EDEN WHICH WERE IN BROUGHT IT TO PASS, THAT THOU SHOULDEST BE TO LAY WASTE
TELASSAR? 13 WHERE IS THE KING OF HAMATH, AND THE KING OF DEFENCED CITIES INTO RUINOUS HEAPS. 27 THEREFORE THEIR

890
 ISAIAH
INHABITANTS WERE OF SMALL POWER, THEY WERE DISMAYED AND
CONFOUNDED: THEY WERE AS THE GRASS OF THE FIELD, AND AS
THE GREEN HERB, AS THE GRASS ON THE HOUSETOPS, AND AS CORN
BLASTED BEFORE IT BE GROWN UP. 28 BUT I KNOW THY ABODE, AND
THY GOING OUT, AND THY COMING IN, AND THY RAGE AGAINST ME.
29 BECAUSE THY RAGE AGAINST ME, AND THY TUMULT, IS COME UP
INTO MINE EARS, THEREFORE WILL I PUT MY HOOK IN THY NOSE,
AND MY BRIDLE IN THY LIPS, AND I WILL TURN THEE BACK BY THE
WAY BY WHICH THOU CAMEST. 30 AND THIS SHALL BE A SIGN UNTO
THEE, YE SHALL EAT THIS YEAR SUCH AS GROWETH OF ITSELF; AND
THE SECOND YEAR THAT WHICH SPRINGETH OF THE SAME: AND IN
THE THIRD YEAR SOW YE, AND REAP, AND PLANT VINEYARDS, AND
EAT THE FRUIT THEREOF. 31 AND THE REMNANT THAT IS ESCAPED
OF THE HOUSE OF JUDAH SHALL AGAIN TAKE ROOT DOWNWARD,
AND BEAR FRUIT UPWARD: 32 FOR OUT OF JERUSALEM SHALL GO
FORTH A REMNANT, AND THEY THAT ESCAPE OUT OF MOUNT ZION:
THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS SHALL DO THIS. 33 THEREFORE
THUS SAITH THE LORD CONCERNING THE KING OF ASSYRIA, HE
SHALL NOT COME INTO THIS CITY, NOR SHOOT AN ARROW THERE,
NOR COME BEFORE IT WITH SHIELDS, NOR CAST A BANK AGAINST IT.
34 BY THE WAY THAT HE CAME, BY THE SAME SHALL HE RETURN,
AND SHALL NOT COME INTO THIS CITY, SAITH THE LORD. 35 FOR I
WILL DEFEND THIS CITY TO SAVE IT FOR MINE OWN SAKE, AND FOR
MY SERVANT DAVID’S SAKE. 36 THEN THE ANGEL OF THE LORD
WENT FORTH, AND SMOTE IN THE CAMP OF THE ASSYRIANS A
HUNDRED AND FOURSCORE AND FIVE THOUSAND: AND WHEN THEY
AROSE EARLY IN THE MORNING, BEHOLD, THEY WERE ALL DEAD
CORPSES. 37 SO SENNACHERIB KING OF ASSYRIA DEPARTED, AND
WENT AND RETURNED, AND DWELT AT NINEVEH. 38 AND IT CAME
TO PASS, AS HE WAS WORSHIPPING IN THE HOUSE OF NISROCH HIS
GOD, THAT ADRAMMELECH AND SHAREZER HIS SONS SMOTE HIM
WITH THE SWORD; AND THEY ESCAPED INTO THE LAND OF ARMENIA:
AND ESAR-HADDON HIS SON REIGNED IN HIS STEAD.

CHAPTER 38 AND IN ALL THESE THINGS IS THE LIFE OF MY SPIRIT: SO WILT THOU
RECOVER ME, AND MAKE ME TO LIVE. 17 BEHOLD, FOR PEACE I HAD
IN THOSE DAYS WAS HEZEKIAH SICK UNTO DEATH. AND ISAIAH THE GREAT BITTERNESS: BUT THOU HAST IN LOVE TO MY SOUL
PROPHET THE SON OF AMOZ CAME UNTO HIM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, DELIVERED IT FROM THE PIT OF CORRUPTION: FOR THOU HAST CAST
THUS SAITH THE LORD, SET THINE HOUSE IN ORDER: FOR THOU ALL MY SINS BEHIND THY BACK. 18 FOR THE GRAVE CANNOT PRAISE
SHALT DIE, AND NOT LIVE. 2 THEN HEZEKIAH TURNED HIS FACE THEE, DEATH CAN NOT CELEBRATE THEE: THEY THAT GO DOWN INTO
TOWARD THE WALL, AND PRAYED UNTO THE LORD, 3 AND SAID, THE PIT CANNOT HOPE FOR THY TRUTH. 19 THE LIVING, THE LIVING,
REMEMBER NOW, O LORD, I BESEECH THEE, HOW I HAVE WALKED HE SHALL PRAISE THEE, AS I DO THIS DAY: THE FATHER TO THE

DONE THAT WHICH IS GOOD IN THY SIGHT. AND HEZEKIAH WEPT READY TO SAVE ME: THEREFORE WE WILL SING MY SONGS TO THE
SORE. 4 THEN CAME THE WORD OF THE LORD TO ISAIAH, SAYING, 5 STRINGED INSTRUMENTS ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE IN THE HOUSE
GO, AND SAY TO HEZEKIAH, THUS SAITH THE LORD, THE GOD OF OF THE LORD. 21 FOR ISAIAH HAD SAID, LET THEM TAKE A LUMP OF
DAVID THY FATHER, I HAVE HEARD THY PRAYER, I HAVE SEEN THY FIGS, AND LAY IT FOR A PLAISTER UPON THE BOIL, AND HE SHALL
TEARS: BEHOLD, I WILL ADD UNTO THY DAYS FIFTEEN YEARS. 6 AND RECOVER. 22 HEZEKIAH ALSO HAD SAID, WHAT IS THE SIGN THAT I
I WILL DELIVER THEE AND THIS CITY OUT OF THE HAND OF THE KING SHALL GO UP TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD?
OF ASSYRIA: AND I WILL DEFEND THIS CITY. 7 AND THIS SHALL BE A
SIGN UNTO THEE FROM THE LORD, THAT THE LORD WILL DO THIS
THING THAT HE HATH SPOKEN; 8 BEHOLD, I WILL BRING AGAIN THE
SHADOW OF THE DEGREES, WHICH IS GONE DOWN IN THE SUN DIAL
OF AHAZ, TEN DEGREES BACKWARD. SO THE SUN RETURNED TEN
DEGREES, BY WHICH DEGREES IT WAS GONE DOWN. 9 THE WRITING
OF HEZEKIAH KING OF JUDAH, WHEN HE HAD BEEN SICK, AND WAS
RECOVERED OF HIS SICKNESS: 10 I SAID IN THE CUTTING OFF OF MY
DAYS, I SHALL GO TO THE GATES OF THE GRAVE: I AM DEPRIVED OF
THE RESIDUE OF MY YEARS. 11 I SAID, I SHALL NOT SEE THE LORD,
EVEN THE LORD, IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING: I SHALL BEHOLD MAN
NO MORE WITH THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD. 12 MINE AGE IS
DEPARTED, AND IS REMOVED FROM ME AS A SHEPHERD’S TENT: I

AT THAT TIME MERODACH-BALADAN, THE SON OF BALADAN, KING
OF BABYLON, SENT LETTERS AND A PRESENT TO HEZEKIAH: FOR HE
HAD HEARD THAT HE HAD BEEN SICK, AND WAS RECOVERED. 2 AND
HEZEKIAH WAS GLAD OF THEM, AND SHEWED THEM THE HOUSE OF
HIS PRECIOUS THINGS, THE SILVER, AND THE GOLD, AND THE SPICES,
AND THE PRECIOUS OINTMENT, AND ALL THE HOUSE OF HIS
ARMOUR, AND ALL THAT WAS FOUND IN HIS TREASURES: THERE
WAS NOTHING IN HIS HOUSE, NOR IN ALL HIS DOMINION, THAT
HEZEKIAH SHEWED THEM NOT. 3 THEN CAME ISAIAH THE PROPHET
UNTO KING HEZEKIAH, AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHAT SAID THESE
MEN? AND FROM WHENCE CAME THEY UNTO THEE? AND HEZEKIAH
SAID, THEY ARE COME FROM A FAR COUNTRY UNTO ME, EVEN FROM
BABYLON. 4 THEN SAID HE, WHAT HAVE THEY SEEN IN THINE HOUSE?
AND HEZEKIAH ANSWERED, ALL THAT IS IN MINE HOUSE HAVE THEY
SEEN: THERE IS NOTHING AMONG MY TREASURES THAT I HAVE NOT
SHEWED THEM. 5 THEN SAID ISAIAH TO HEZEKIAH, HEAR THE WORD
OF THE LORD OF HOSTS: 6 BEHOLD, THE DAYS COME, THAT ALL THAT
IS IN THINE HOUSE, AND THAT WHICH THY FATHERS HAVE LAID UP
IN STORE UNTIL THIS DAY, SHALL BE CARRIED TO BABYLON:

THAT RULE OVER THEM MAKE THEM TO HOWL, SAITH THE LORD;
AND MY NAME CONTINUALLY EVERY DAY IS BLASPHEMED. 6
THEREFORE MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: THEREFORE THEY

THE LORD WILL GO BEFORE YOU; AND THE GOD OF ISRAEL WILL BE

CHAPTER 53 TRANSGRESSORS.

WHO HATH BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM IS THE ARM OF

THE LORD REVEALED? 2 FOR HE SHALL GROW UP BEFORE HIM AS A
TENDER PLANT, AND AS A ROOT OUT OF A DRY GROUND: HE HATH
NO FORM NOR COMELINESS; AND WHEN WE SHALL SEE HIM, THERE
IS NO BEAUTY THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM. 3 HE IS DESPISED AND
REJECTED OF MEN; A MAN OF SORROWS, AND ACQUAINTED WITH
GRIEF: AND WE HID AS IT WERE OUR FACES FROM HIM; HE WAS
DESPISED, AND WE ESTEEMED HIM NOT. 4 SURELY HE HATH BORNE
OUR GRIEFS, AND CARRIED OUR SORROWS: YET WE DID ESTEEM HIM
STRICKEN, SMITTEN OF GOD, AND AFFLICTED. 5 BUT HE WAS
WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR
INIQUITIES: THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM;
AND WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. 6 ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE
GONE ASTRAY; WE HAVE TURNED EVERY ONE TO HIS OWN WAY; AND
THE LORD HATH LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL. 7 HE WAS
OPPRESSED, AND HE WAS AFFLICTED, YET HE OPENED NOT HIS
MOUTH: HE IS BROUGHT AS A LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER, AND AS A
SHEEP BEFORE HER SHEARERS IS DUMB, SO HE OPENETH NOT HIS
MOUTH. 8 HE WAS TAKEN FROM PRISON AND FROM JUDGMENT:
AND WHO SHALL DECLARE HIS GENERATION? FOR HE WAS CUT OFF
OUT OF THE LAND OF THE LIVING: FOR THE TRANSGRESSION OF MY
PEOPLE WAS HE STRICKEN. 9 AND HE MADE HIS GRAVE WITH THE
WICKED, AND WITH THE RICH IN HIS DEATH; BECAUSE HE HAD DONE
NO VIOLENCE, NEITHER WAS ANY DECEIT IN HIS MOUTH. 10 YET IT
PLEASED THE LORD TO BRUISE HIM; HE HATH PUT HIM TO GRIEF:
WHEN THOU SHALT MAKE HIS SOUL AN OFFERING FOR SIN, HE
SHALL SEE HIS SEED, HE SHALL PROLONG HIS DAYS, AND THE
PLEASURE OF THE LORD SHALL PROSPER IN HIS HAND. 11 HE SHALL
SEE OF THE TRAVAIL OF HIS SOUL, AND SHALL BE SATISFIED: BY HIS
KNOWLEDGE SHALL MY RIGHTEOUS SERVANT JUSTIFY MANY; FOR
HE SHALL BEAR THEIR INIQUITIES. 12 THEREFORE WILL I DIVIDE HIM
A PORTION WITH THE GREAT, AND HE SHALL DIVIDE THE SPOIL WITH
THE STRONG; BECAUSE HE HATH POURED OUT HIS SOUL UNTO
DEATH: AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH THE TRANSGRESSORS; AND

STRENGTHEN THY STAKES; 3 FOR THOU SHALT BREAK FORTH ON THE EVERY TONGUE THAT SHALL RISE AGAINST THEE IN JUDGMENT
RIGHT HAND AND ON THE LEFT; AND THY SEED SHALL INHERIT THE THOU SHALT CONDEMN. THIS IS THE HERITAGE OF THE SERVANTS

REMEMBER THE REPROACH OF THY WIDOWHOOD ANY MORE. 5 FOR
THY MAKER IS THINE HUSBAND; THE LORD OF HOSTS IS HIS NAME;
AND THY REDEEMER THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; THE GOD OF THE
WHOLE EARTH SHALL HE BE CALLED. 6 FOR THE LORD HATH CALLED
THEE AS A WOMAN FORSAKEN AND GRIEVED IN SPIRIT, AND A WIFE
OF YOUTH, WHEN THOU WAST REFUSED, SAITH THY GOD. 7 FOR A
SMALL MOMENT HAVE I FORSAKEN THEE; BUT WITH GREAT MERCIES
WILL I GATHER THEE. 8 IN A LITTLE WRATH I HID MY FACE FROM
THEE FOR A MOMENT; BUT WITH EVERLASTING KINDNESS WILL I
HAVE MERCY ON THEE, SAITH THE LORD THY REDEEMER. 9 FOR THIS
IS AS THE WATERS OF NOAH UNTO ME: FOR AS I HAVE SWORN THAT
THE WATERS OF NOAH SHOULD NO MORE GO OVER THE EARTH; SO
HAVE I SWORN THAT I WOULD NOT BE WROTH WITH THEE, NOR
REBUKE THEE. 10 FOR THE MOUNTAINS SHALL DEPART, AND THE
HILLS BE REMOVED; BUT MY KINDNESS SHALL NOT DEPART FROM
THEE, NEITHER SHALL THE COVENANT OF MY PEACE BE REMOVED,
SAITH THE LORD THAT HATH MERCY ON THEE. 11 O THOU AFFLICTED,
TOSSED WITH TEMPEST, AND NOT COMFORTED, BEHOLD, I WILL LAY
THY STONES WITH FAIR COLOURS, AND LAY THY FOUNDATIONS
WITH SAPPHIRES. 12 AND I WILL MAKE THY WINDOWS OF AGATES,
AND THY GATES OF CARBUNCLES, AND ALL THY BORDERS OF
PLEASANT STONES. 13 AND ALL THY CHILDREN SHALL BE TAUGHT
OF THE LORD; AND GREAT SHALL BE THE PEACE OF THY CHILDREN.

HO, EVERY ONE THAT THIRSTETH, COME YE TO THE WATERS, AND

HE THAT HATH NO MONEY; COME YE, BUY, AND EAT; YEA, COME,
BUY WINE AND MILK WITHOUT MONEY AND WITHOUT PRICE. 2
WHEREFORE DO YE SPEND MONEY FOR THAT WHICH IS NOT BREAD?
AND YOUR LABOUR FOR THAT WHICH SATISFIETH NOT? HEARKEN
DILIGENTLY UNTO ME, AND EAT YE THAT WHICH IS GOOD, AND LET
YOUR SOUL DELIGHT ITSELF IN FATNESS. 3 INCLINE YOUR EAR, AND
COME UNTO ME: HEAR, AND YOUR SOUL SHALL LIVE; AND I WILL
MAKE AN EVERLASTING COVENANT WITH YOU, EVEN THE SURE
MERCIES OF DAVID. 4 BEHOLD, I HAVE GIVEN HIM FOR A WITNESS
TO THE PEOPLE, A LEADER AND COMMANDER TO THE PEOPLE. 5
BEHOLD, THOU SHALT CALL A NATION THAT THOU KNOWEST NOT,
AND NATIONS THAT KNEW NOT THEE SHALL RUN UNTO THEE
BECAUSE OF THE LORD THY GOD, AND FOR THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL;
FOR HE HATH GLORIFIED THEE. 6 SEEK YE THE LORD WHILE HE MAY
BE FOUND, CALL YE UPON HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR: 7 LET THE
WICKED FORSAKE HIS WAY, AND THE UNRIGHTEOUS MAN HIS
THOUGHTS: AND LET HIM RETURN UNTO THE LORD, AND HE WILL
HAVE MERCY UPON HIM; AND TO OUR GOD, FOR HE WILL
ABUNDANTLY PARDON. 8 FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR
THOUGHTS, NEITHER ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS, SAITH THE LORD.
9 FOR AS THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER THAN THE EARTH, SO ARE MY
WAYS HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS, AND MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR
THOUGHTS. 10 FOR AS THE RAIN COMETH DOWN, AND THE SNOW
FROM HEAVEN, AND RETURNETH NOT THITHER, BUT WATERETH THE
EARTH, AND MAKETH IT BRING FORTH AND BUD, THAT IT MAY GIVE
SEED TO THE SOWER, AND BREAD TO THE EATER: 11 SO SHALL MY
WORD BE THAT GOETH FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH: IT SHALL NOT
RETURN UNTO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I
PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING WHERETO I SENT IT.
12 FOR YE SHALL GO OUT WITH JOY, AND BE LED FORTH WITH PEACE:
THE MOUNTAINS AND THE HILLS SHALL BREAK FORTH BEFORE YOU
INTO SINGING, AND ALL THE TREES OF THE FIELD SHALL CLAP THEIR

OF MAN THAT LAYETH HOLD ON IT; THAT KEEPETH THE SABBATH
FROM POLLUTING IT, AND KEEPETH HIS HAND FROM DOING ANY
EVIL. 3 NEITHER LET THE SON OF THE STRANGER, THAT HATH
JOINED HIMSELF TO THE LORD, SPEAK, SAYING, THE LORD HATH
UTTERLY SEPARATED ME FROM HIS PEOPLE: NEITHER LET THE
EUNUCH SAY, BEHOLD, I AM A DRY TREE. 4 FOR THUS SAITH THE
LORD UNTO THE EUNUCHS THAT KEEP MY SABBATHS, AND CHOOSE
THE THINGS THAT PLEASE ME, AND TAKE HOLD OF MY COVENANT;

WALLS A PLACE AND A NAME BETTER THAN OF SONS AND OF

SHALL NOT BE CUT OFF. 6 ALSO THE SONS OF THE STRANGER, THAT
JOIN THEMSELVES TO THE LORD, TO SERVE HIM, AND TO LOVE THE
NAME OF THE LORD, TO BE HIS SERVANTS, EVERY ONE THAT
KEEPETH THE SABBATH FROM POLLUTING IT, AND TAKETH HOLD OF
MY COVENANT; 7 EVEN THEM WILL I BRING TO MY HOLY MOUNTAIN,
AND MAKE THEM JOYFUL IN MY HOUSE OF PRAYER: THEIR BURNT
OFFERINGS AND THEIR SACRIFICES SHALL BE ACCEPTED UPON MINE
ALTAR; FOR MINE HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED AN HOUSE OF PRAYER
FOR ALL PEOPLE. 8 THE LORD GOD WHICH GATHERETH THE
OUTCASTS OF ISRAEL SAITH, YET WILL I GATHER OTHERS TO HIM,
BESIDE THOSE THAT ARE GATHERED UNTO HIM. 9 ALL YE BEASTS OF

UNDERSTAND: THEY ALL LOOK TO THEIR OWN WAY, EVERY ONE FOR

SONS OF THE SORCERESS, THE SEED OF THE ADULTERER AND THE SPIRIT SHOULD FAIL BEFORE ME, AND THE SOULS WHICH I HAVE
WHORE. 4 AGAINST WHOM DO YE SPORT YOURSELVES? AGAINST MADE. 17 FOR THE INIQUITY OF HIS COVETOUSNESS WAS I WROTH,
WHOM MAKE YE A WIDE MOUTH, AND DRAW OUT THE TONGUE? ARE AND SMOTE HIM: I HID ME, AND WAS WROTH, AND HE WENT ON
YE NOT CHILDREN OF TRANSGRESSION, A SEED OF FALSEHOOD, 5 FROWARDLY IN THE WAY OF HIS HEART. 18 I HAVE SEEN HIS WAYS,
ENFLAMING YOURSELVES WITH IDOLS UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE, AND WILL HEAL HIM: I WILL LEAD HIM ALSO, AND RESTORE
SLAYING THE CHILDREN IN THE VALLEYS UNDER THE CLIFTS OF THE COMFORTS UNTO HIM AND TO HIS MOURNERS. 19 I CREATE THE

INCREASE THY PERFUMES, AND DIDST SEND THY MESSENGERS FAR
OFF, AND DIDST DEBASE THYSELF EVEN UNTO HELL. 10 THOU ART

FORSOOK NOT THE ORDINANCE OF THEIR GOD: THEY ASK OF ME THE OF THE LORD, HONOURABLE; AND SHALT HONOUR HIM, NOT DOING
ORDINANCES OF JUSTICE; THEY TAKE DELIGHT IN APPROACHING TO THINE OWN WAYS, NOR FINDING THINE OWN PLEASURE, NOR
GOD. 3 WHEREFORE HAVE WE FASTED, SAY THEY, AND THOU SEEST SPEAKING THINE OWN WORDS: 14 THEN SHALT THOU DELIGHT

BOW DOWN HIS HEAD AS A BULRUSH, AND TO SPREAD SACKCLOTH
AND ASHES UNDER HIM? WILT THOU CALL THIS A FAST, AND AN
ACCEPTABLE DAY TO THE LORD? 6 IS NOT THIS THE FAST THAT I HAVE
CHOSEN? TO LOOSE THE BANDS OF WICKEDNESS, TO UNDO THE
HEAVY BURDENS, AND TO LET THE OPPRESSED GO FREE, AND THAT
YE BREAK EVERY YOKE? 7 IS IT NOT TO DEAL THY BREAD TO THE
HUNGRY, AND THAT THOU BRING THE POOR THAT ARE CAST OUT TO
THY HOUSE? WHEN THOU SEEST THE NAKED, THAT THOU COVER
HIM; AND THAT THOU HIDE NOT THYSELF FROM THINE OWN FLESH?

I AM. IF THOU TAKE AWAY FROM THE MIDST OF THEE THE YOKE, THE
PUTTING FORTH OF THE FINGER, AND SPEAKING VANITY; 10 AND IF
THOU DRAW OUT THY SOUL TO THE HUNGRY, AND SATISFY THE
AFFLICTED SOUL; THEN SHALL THY LIGHT RISE IN OBSCURITY, AND

SHALL BE OPEN CONTINUALLY; THEY SHALL NOT BE SHUT DAY NOR

THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD GOD IS UPON ME; BECAUSE THE LORD
HATH ANOINTED ME TO PREACH GOOD TIDINGS UNTO THE MEEK;
HE HATH SENT ME TO BIND UP THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM
LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES, AND THE OPENING OF THE PRISON TO
THEM THAT ARE BOUND; 2 TO PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF
THE LORD, AND THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD; TO COMFORT
ALL THAT MOURN; 3 TO APPOINT UNTO THEM THAT MOURN IN ZION,
TO GIVE UNTO THEM BEAUTY 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
GLORIFIED. 4 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 GENERATIONS. 5 AND
STRANGERS SHALL STAND AND FEED YOUR FLOCKS, AND THE SONS
OF THE ALIEN SHALL BE YOUR PLOWMEN AND YOUR VINEDRESSERS.
6 BUT YE SHALL BE NAMED THE PRIESTS OF THE LORD: MEN SHALL
CALL YOU THE MINISTERS OF OUR GOD: YE SHALL EAT THE RICHES
OF THE GENTILES, AND IN THEIR GLORY SHALL YE BOAST
YOURSELVES. 7 FOR YOUR SHAME YE SHALL HAVE DOUBLE; AND FOR
CONFUSION THEY SHALL REJOICE IN THEIR PORTION: THEREFORE IN
THEIR LAND THEY SHALL POSSESS THE DOUBLE: EVERLASTING JOY
SHALL BE UNTO THEM. 8 FOR I THE LORD LOVE JUDGMENT, I HATE
ROBBERY FOR BURNT OFFERING; AND I WILL DIRECT THEIR WORK
IN TRUTH, AND I WILL MAKE AN EVERLASTING COVENANT WITH
THEM. 9 AND THEIR SEED SHALL BE KNOWN AMONG THE GENTILES,
AND THEIR OFFSPRING AMONG THE PEOPLE: ALL THAT SEE THEM
SHALL ACKNOWLEDGE THEM, THAT THEY ARE THE SEED WHICH THE
LORD HATH BLESSED. 10 I WILL GREATLY REJOICE IN THE LORD, MY
SOUL SHALL BE JOYFUL IN MY GOD; FOR HE HATH CLOTHED ME
WITH THE GARMENTS OF SALVATION, HE HATH COVERED ME WITH
THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AS A BRIDEGROOM DECKETH
HIMSELF WITH ORNAMENTS, AND AS A BRIDE ADORNETH HERSELF

FOR ZION’S SAKE WILL I NOT HOLD MY PEACE, AND FOR

THEREOF GO FORTH AS BRIGHTNESS, AND THE SALVATION THEREOF
AS A LAMP THAT BURNETH. 2 AND THE GENTILES SHALL SEE THY
RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL KINGS THY GLORY: AND THOU SHALT BE
CALLED BY A NEW NAME, WHICH THE MOUTH OF THE LORD SHALL

THOU SHALT NO MORE BE TERMED FORSAKEN; NEITHER SHALL THY

CALLED HEPHZIBAH, AND THY LAND BEULAH: FOR THE LORD
DELIGHTETH IN THEE, AND THY LAND SHALL BE MARRIED. 5 FOR AS
A YOUNG MAN MARRIETH A VIRGIN, SO SHALL THY SONS MARRY
THEE: AND AS THE BRIDEGROOM REJOICETH OVER THE BRIDE, SO
SHALL THY GOD REJOICE OVER THEE. 6 I HAVE SET WATCHMEN
UPON THY WALLS, O JERUSALEM, WHICH SHALL NEVER HOLD THEIR
PEACE DAY NOR NIGHT: YE THAT MAKE MENTION OF THE LORD,
KEEP NOT SILENCE, 7 AND GIVE HIM NO REST, TILL HE ESTABLISH,
AND TILL HE MAKE JERUSALEM A PRAISE IN THE EARTH. 8 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 ENEMIES; AND THE SONS OF THE STRANGER SHALL NOT
DRINK THY WINE, FOR THE WHICH THOU HAST LABOURED: 9 BUT
THEY THAT HAVE GATHERED IT SHALL EAT IT, AND PRAISE THE LORD;
AND THEY THAT HAVE BROUGHT IT TOGETHER SHALL DRINK IT IN
THE COURTS OF MY HOLINESS. 10 GO THROUGH, GO THROUGH THE
GATES; PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE PEOPLE; CAST UP, CAST UP
THE HIGHWAY; GATHER OUT THE STONES; LIFT UP A STANDARD FOR
THE PEOPLE. 11 BEHOLD, THE LORD HATH PROCLAIMED UNTO THE
END OF THE WORLD, SAY YE TO THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, BEHOLD,
THY SALVATION COMETH; BEHOLD, HIS REWARD IS WITH HIM, AND

FROM BOZRAH? THIS THAT IS GLORIOUS IN HIS APPAREL, AND BEHOLD FROM THE HABITATION OF THY HOLINESS AND OF THY

STAIN ALL MY RAIMENT. 4 FOR THE DAY OF VENGEANCE IS IN MINE RETURN FOR THY SERVANTS’ SAKE, THE TRIBES OF THINE

AND THERE WAS NONE TO HELP; AND I WONDERED THAT THERE IT BUT A LITTLE WHILE: OUR ADVERSARIES HAVE TRODDEN DOWN

TREAD DOWN THE PEOPLE IN MINE ANGER, AND MAKE THEM

THE LORD HATH BESTOWED ON US, AND THE GREAT GOODNESS
TOWARD THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, WHICH HE HATH BESTOWED ON

IN HIS PITY HE REDEEMED THEM; AND HE BARE THEM, AND CARRIED

DAYS OF OLD, MOSES, AND HIS PEOPLE, SAYING, WHERE IS HE THAT
BROUGHT THEM UP OUT OF THE SEA WITH THE SHEPHERD OF HIS

TWO EVILS; THEY HAVE FORSAKEN ME THE FOUNTAIN OF LIVING THEY HAVE TURNED THEIR BACK UNTO ME, AND NOT THEIR FACE:
WATERS, AND HEWED THEM OUT CISTERNS, BROKEN CISTERNS, BUT IN THE TIME OF THEIR TROUBLE THEY WILL SAY, ARISE, AND

HAVE I SMITTEN YOUR CHILDREN; THEY RECEIVED NO CORRECTION:
YOUR OWN SWORD HATH DEVOURED YOUR PROPHETS, LIKE A
DESTROYING LION. 31 O GENERATION, SEE YE THE WORD OF THE
LORD. HAVE I BEEN A WILDERNESS UNTO ISRAEL? A LAND OF
DARKNESS? WHEREFORE SAY MY PEOPLE, WE ARE LORDS; WE WILL
COME NO MORE UNTO THEE? 32 CAN A MAID FORGET HER
ORNAMENTS, OR A BRIDE HER ATTIRE? YET MY PEOPLE HAVE
FORGOTTEN ME DAYS WITHOUT NUMBER. 33 WHY TRIMMEST THOU
THY WAY TO SEEK LOVE? THEREFORE HAST THOU ALSO TAUGHT THE
WICKED ONES THY WAYS. 34 ALSO IN THY SKIRTS IS FOUND THE
BLOOD OF THE SOULS OF THE POOR INNOCENTS: I HAVE NOT FOUND

BUT GO YE NOW UNTO MY PLACE WHICH WAS IN SHILOH, WHERE I THE PROPHETS, DAILY RISING UP EARLY AND SENDING THEM: 26 YET
SET MY NAME AT THE FIRST, AND SEE WHAT I DID TO IT FOR THE THEY HEARKENED NOT UNTO ME, NOR INCLINED THEIR EAR, BUT

COMMANDED NOT, NOR SPAKE IT, NEITHER CAME IT INTO MY MIND:

THIS PLACE SHALL NO MORE BE CALLED TOPHET, NOR THE VALLEY
OF THE SON OF HINNOM, BUT THE VALLEY OF SLAUGHTER. 7 AND I

NEBUCHADREZZAR KING OF BABYLON HAD CARRIED AWAY CAPTIVE
JECONIAH THE SON OF JEHOIAKIM KING OF JUDAH, AND THE
PRINCES OF JUDAH, WITH THE CARPENTERS AND SMITHS, FROM
JERUSALEM, AND HAD BROUGHT THEM TO BABYLON. 2 ONE BASKET
HAD VERY GOOD FIGS, EVEN LIKE THE FIGS THAT ARE FIRST RIPE:
AND THE OTHER BASKET HAD VERY NAUGHTY FIGS, WHICH COULD

WORDS OF JONADAB THE SON OF RECHAB, THAT HE COMMANDED
CHAPTER 35 HIS SONS NOT TO DRINK WINE, ARE PERFORMED; FOR UNTO THIS
DAY THEY DRINK NONE, BUT OBEY THEIR FATHER’S COMMANDMENT:
THE WORD WHICH CAME UNTO JEREMIAH FROM THE LORD IN THE NOTWITHSTANDING I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU, RISING EARLY AND
DAYS OF JEHOIAKIM THE SON OF JOSIAH KING OF JUDAH, SAYING, 2 SPEAKING; BUT YE HEARKENED NOT UNTO ME. 15 I HAVE SENT ALSO

LORD, INTO THE CHAMBER OF THE SONS OF HANAN, THE SON OF SONS OF JONADAB THE SON OF RECHAB HAVE PERFORMED THE
IGDALIAH, A MAN OF GOD, WHICH WAS BY THE CHAMBER OF THE COMMANDMENT OF THEIR FATHER, WHICH HE COMMANDED THEM;

FATHER COMMANDED US, SAYING, YE SHALL DRINK NO WINE, HEARD; AND I HAVE CALLED UNTO THEM, BUT THEY HAVE NOT

ALL YOUR DAYS YE SHALL DWELL IN TENTS; THAT YE MAY LIVE MANY BECAUSE YE HAVE OBEYED THE COMMANDMENT OF JONADAB YOUR

NEBUCHADREZZAR KING OF BABYLON CAME UP INTO THE LAND,
THAT WE SAID, COME, AND LET US GO TO JERUSALEM FOR FEAR OF
THE ARMY OF THE CHALDEANS, AND FOR FEAR OF THE ARMY OF THE
SYRIANS: SO WE DWELL AT JERUSALEM. 12 THEN CAME THE WORD
OF THE LORD UNTO JEREMIAH, SAYING, 13 THUS SAITH THE LORD

AND THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM, WILL YE NOT RECEIVE

 JEREMIAH
HAD HEARD OUT OF THE BOOK ALL THE WORDS OF THE LORD, 12
CHAPTER 36 THEN HE WENT DOWN INTO THE KING’S HOUSE, INTO THE SCRIBE’S
CHAMBER: AND, LO, ALL THE PRINCES SAT THERE, EVEN ELISHAMA
AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF JEHOIAKIM THE SON THE SCRIBE, AND DELAIAH THE SON OF SHEMAIAH, AND ELNATHAN
OF JOSIAH KING OF JUDAH, THAT THIS WORD CAME UNTO JEREMIAH THE SON OF ACHBOR, AND GEMARIAH THE SON OF SHAPHAN, AND
FROM THE LORD, SAYING, 2 TAKE THEE A ROLL OF A BOOK, AND ZEDEKIAH THE SON OF HANANIAH, AND ALL THE PRINCES. 13 THEN
WRITE THEREIN ALL THE WORDS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO THEE MICHAIAH DECLARED UNTO THEM ALL THE WORDS THAT HE HAD
AGAINST ISRAEL, AND AGAINST JUDAH, AND AGAINST ALL THE HEARD, WHEN BARUCH READ THE BOOK IN THE EARS OF THE
NATIONS, FROM THE DAY I SPAKE UNTO THEE, FROM THE DAYS OF PEOPLE. 14 THEREFORE ALL THE PRINCES SENT JEHUDI THE SON OF
JOSIAH, EVEN UNTO THIS DAY. 3 IT MAY BE THAT THE HOUSE OF NETHANIAH, THE SON OF SHELEMIAH, THE SON OF CUSHI, UNTO
JUDAH WILL HEAR ALL THE EVIL WHICH I PURPOSE TO DO UNTO BARUCH, SAYING, TAKE IN THINE HAND THE ROLL WHEREIN THOU
THEM; THAT THEY MAY RETURN EVERY MAN FROM HIS EVIL WAY; HAST READ IN THE EARS OF THE PEOPLE, AND COME. SO BARUCH
THAT I MAY FORGIVE THEIR INIQUITY AND THEIR SIN. 4 THEN THE SON OF NERIAH TOOK THE ROLL IN HIS HAND, AND CAME UNTO
JEREMIAH CALLED BARUCH THE SON OF NERIAH: AND BARUCH THEM. 15 AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM, SIT DOWN NOW, AND READ IT
WROTE FROM THE MOUTH OF JEREMIAH ALL THE WORDS OF THE IN OUR EARS. SO BARUCH READ IT IN THEIR EARS. 16 NOW IT CAME
LORD, WHICH HE HAD SPOKEN UNTO HIM, UPON A ROLL OF A BOOK. TO PASS, WHEN THEY HAD HEARD ALL THE WORDS, THEY WERE
5 AND JEREMIAH COMMANDED BARUCH, SAYING, I AM SHUT UP; I AFRAID BOTH ONE AND OTHER, AND SAID UNTO BARUCH, WE WILL
CANNOT GO INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD: 6 THEREFORE GO THOU, SURELY TELL THE KING OF ALL THESE WORDS. 17 AND THEY ASKED
AND READ IN THE ROLL, WHICH THOU HAST WRITTEN FROM MY BARUCH, SAYING, TELL US NOW, HOW DIDST THOU WRITE ALL
MOUTH, THE WORDS OF THE LORD IN THE EARS OF THE PEOPLE IN THESE WORDS AT HIS MOUTH? 18 THEN BARUCH ANSWERED THEM,
THE LORD’S HOUSE UPON THE FASTING DAY: AND ALSO THOU SHALT HE PRONOUNCED ALL THESE WORDS UNTO ME WITH HIS MOUTH,
READ THEM IN THE EARS OF ALL JUDAH THAT COME OUT OF THEIR AND I WROTE THEM WITH INK IN THE BOOK. 19 THEN SAID THE
CITIES. 7 IT MAY BE THEY WILL PRESENT THEIR SUPPLICATION PRINCES UNTO BARUCH, GO, HIDE THEE, THOU AND JEREMIAH; AND
BEFORE THE LORD, AND WILL RETURN EVERY ONE FROM HIS EVIL LET NO MAN KNOW WHERE YE BE. 20 AND THEY WENT IN TO THE
WAY: FOR GREAT IS THE ANGER AND THE FURY THAT THE LORD HATH KING INTO THE COURT, BUT THEY LAID UP THE ROLL IN THE
PRONOUNCED AGAINST THIS PEOPLE. 8 AND BARUCH THE SON OF CHAMBER OF ELISHAMA THE SCRIBE, AND TOLD ALL THE WORDS IN
NERIAH DID ACCORDING TO ALL THAT JEREMIAH THE PROPHET THE EARS OF THE KING. 21 SO THE KING SENT JEHUDI TO FETCH THE
COMMANDED HIM, READING IN THE BOOK THE WORDS OF THE LORD ROLL: AND HE TOOK IT OUT OF ELISHAMA THE SCRIBE’S CHAMBER.
IN THE LORD’S HOUSE. 9 AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE FIFTH YEAR AND JEHUDI READ IT IN THE EARS OF THE KING, AND IN THE EARS
OF JEHOIAKIM THE SON OF JOSIAH KING OF JUDAH, IN THE NINTH OF ALL THE PRINCES WHICH STOOD BESIDE THE KING. 22 NOW THE
MONTH, THAT THEY PROCLAIMED A FAST BEFORE THE LORD TO ALL KING SAT IN THE WINTERHOUSE IN THE NINTH MONTH: AND THERE
THE PEOPLE IN JERUSALEM, AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAME WAS A FIRE ON THE HEARTH BURNING BEFORE HIM. 23 AND IT CAME
FROM THE CITIES OF JUDAH UNTO JERUSALEM. 10 THEN READ TO PASS, THAT WHEN JEHUDI HAD READ THREE OR FOUR LEAVES,
BARUCH IN THE BOOK THE WORDS OF JEREMIAH IN THE HOUSE OF HE CUT IT WITH THE PENKNIFE, AND CAST IT INTO THE FIRE THAT
THE LORD, IN THE CHAMBER OF GEMARIAH THE SON OF SHAPHAN WAS ON THE HEARTH, UNTIL ALL THE ROLL WAS CONSUMED IN THE
THE SCRIBE, IN THE HIGHER COURT, AT THE ENTRY OF THE NEW FIRE THAT WAS ON THE HEARTH. 24 YET THEY WERE NOT AFRAID,
GATE OF THE LORD’S HOUSE, IN THE EARS OF ALL THE PEOPLE. 11 NOR RENT THEIR GARMENTS, NEITHER THE KING, NOR ANY OF HIS
WHEN MICHAIAH THE SON OF GEMARIAH, THE SON OF SHAPHAN, SERVANTS THAT HEARD ALL THESE WORDS. 25 NEVERTHELESS

979
 JEREMIAH
ELNATHAN AND DELAIAH AND GEMARIAH HAD MADE INTERCESSION
TO THE KING THAT HE WOULD NOT BURN THE ROLL: BUT HE WOULD
NOT HEAR THEM. 26 BUT THE KING COMMANDED JERAHMEEL THE
SON OF HAMMELECH, AND SERAIAH THE SON OF AZRIEL, AND
SHELEMIAH THE SON OF ABDEEL, TO TAKE BARUCH THE SCRIBE AND
JEREMIAH THE PROPHET: BUT THE LORD HID THEM. 27 THEN THE
WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAH, AFTER THAT THE KING HAD
BURNED THE ROLL, AND THE WORDS WHICH BARUCH WROTE AT
THE MOUTH OF JEREMIAH, SAYING, 28 TAKE THEE AGAIN ANOTHER
ROLL, AND WRITE IN IT ALL THE FORMER WORDS THAT WERE IN THE
FIRST ROLL, WHICH JEHOIAKIM THE KING OF JUDAH HATH BURNED.
29 AND THOU SHALT SAY TO JEHOIAKIM KING OF JUDAH, 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 THENCE MAN AND BEAST? 30 THEREFORE THUS SAITH
THE LORD OF JEHOIAKIM KING OF JUDAH; HE SHALL HAVE NONE TO
SIT UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID: AND HIS DEAD BODY SHALL BE
CAST OUT IN THE DAY TO THE HEAT, AND IN THE NIGHT TO THE
FROST. 31 AND I WILL PUNISH HIM AND HIS SEED AND HIS
SERVANTS FOR THEIR INIQUITY; AND I WILL BRING UPON THEM,
AND UPON THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM, AND UPON THE MEN
OF JUDAH, ALL THE EVIL THAT I HAVE PRONOUNCED AGAINST THEM;
BUT THEY HEARKENED NOT. 32 THEN TOOK JEREMIAH ANOTHER
ROLL, AND GAVE IT TO BARUCH THE SCRIBE, THE SON OF NERIAH;
WHO WROTE THEREIN FROM THE MOUTH OF JEREMIAH ALL THE
WORDS OF THE BOOK WHICH JEHOIAKIM KING OF JUDAH HAD
BURNED IN THE FIRE: AND THERE WERE ADDED BESIDES UNTO
THEM MANY LIKE WORDS.

980
 JEREMIAH
HE HEARKENED NOT TO HIM: SO IRIJAH TOOK JEREMIAH, AND
CHAPTER 37 BROUGHT HIM TO THE PRINCES. 15 WHEREFORE THE PRINCES WERE
WROTH WITH JEREMIAH, AND SMOTE HIM, AND PUT HIM IN PRISON
AND KING ZEDEKIAH THE SON OF JOSIAH REIGNED INSTEAD OF IN THE HOUSE OF JONATHAN THE SCRIBE: FOR THEY HAD MADE
CONIAH THE SON OF JEHOIAKIM, WHOM NEBUCHADREZZAR KING THAT THE PRISON. 16 WHEN JEREMIAH WAS ENTERED INTO THE
OF BABYLON MADE KING IN THE LAND OF JUDAH. 2 BUT NEITHER DUNGEON, AND INTO THE CABINS, AND JEREMIAH HAD REMAINED
HE, NOR HIS SERVANTS, NOR THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND, DID THERE MANY DAYS; 17 THEN ZEDEKIAH THE KING SENT, AND TOOK
HEARKEN UNTO THE WORDS OF THE LORD, WHICH HE SPAKE BY THE HIM OUT: AND THE KING ASKED HIM SECRETLY IN HIS HOUSE, AND
PROPHET JEREMIAH. 3 AND ZEDEKIAH THE KING SENT JEHUCAL THE SAID, IS THERE ANY WORD FROM THE LORD? AND JEREMIAH SAID,
SON OF SHELEMIAH AND ZEPHANIAH THE SON OF MAASEIAH THE THERE IS: FOR, SAID HE, THOU SHALT BE DELIVERED INTO THE HAND
PRIEST TO THE PROPHET JEREMIAH, SAYING, PRAY NOW UNTO THE OF THE KING OF BABYLON. 18 MOREOVER JEREMIAH SAID UNTO
LORD OUR GOD FOR US. 4 NOW JEREMIAH CAME IN AND WENT OUT KING ZEDEKIAH, WHAT HAVE I OFFENDED AGAINST THEE, OR
AMONG THE PEOPLE: FOR THEY HAD NOT PUT HIM INTO PRISON. 5 AGAINST THY SERVANTS, OR AGAINST THIS PEOPLE, THAT YE HAVE
THEN PHARAOH’S ARMY WAS COME FORTH OUT OF EGYPT: AND PUT ME IN PRISON? 19 WHERE ARE NOW YOUR PROPHETS WHICH
WHEN THE CHALDEANS THAT BESIEGED JERUSALEM HEARD TIDINGS PROPHESIED UNTO YOU, SAYING, THE KING OF BABYLON SHALL NOT
OF THEM, THEY DEPARTED FROM JERUSALEM. 6 THEN CAME THE COME AGAINST YOU, NOR AGAINST THIS LAND? 20 THEREFORE HEAR
WORD OF THE LORD UNTO THE PROPHET JEREMIAH, SAYING, 7 THUS NOW, I PRAY THEE, O MY LORD THE KING: LET MY SUPPLICATION, I
SAITH THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL; THUS SHALL YE SAY TO THE PRAY THEE, BE ACCEPTED BEFORE THEE; THAT THOU CAUSE ME NOT
KING OF JUDAH, THAT SENT YOU UNTO ME TO INQUIRE OF ME; TO RETURN TO THE HOUSE OF JONATHAN THE SCRIBE, LEST I DIE
BEHOLD, PHARAOH’S ARMY, WHICH IS COME FORTH TO HELP YOU, THERE. 21 THEN ZEDEKIAH THE KING COMMANDED THAT THEY
SHALL RETURN TO EGYPT INTO THEIR OWN LAND. 8 AND THE SHOULD COMMIT JEREMIAH INTO THE COURT OF THE PRISON, AND
CHALDEANS SHALL COME AGAIN, AND FIGHT AGAINST THIS CITY, THAT THEY SHOULD GIVE HIM DAILY A PIECE OF BREAD OUT OF THE
AND TAKE IT, AND BURN IT WITH FIRE. 9 THUS SAITH THE LORD; BAKERS’ STREET, UNTIL ALL THE BREAD IN THE CITY WERE SPENT.
DECEIVE NOT YOURSELVES, SAYING, THE CHALDEANS SHALL SURELY THUS JEREMIAH REMAINED IN THE COURT OF THE PRISON.
DEPART FROM US: FOR THEY SHALL NOT DEPART. 10 FOR THOUGH
YE HAD SMITTEN THE WHOLE ARMY OF THE CHALDEANS THAT FIGHT
AGAINST YOU, AND THERE REMAINED BUT 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 ARMY, 12 THEN JEREMIAH WENT FORTH
OUT OF JERUSALEM TO GO INTO THE LAND OF BENJAMIN, TO
SEPARATE HIMSELF THENCE IN THE MIDST OF THE PEOPLE. 13 AND
WHEN HE WAS IN THE GATE OF BENJAMIN, A CAPTAIN OF THE WARD
WAS THERE, WHOSE NAME WAS IRIJAH, THE SON OF SHELEMIAH,
THE SON OF HANANIAH; AND HE TOOK JEREMIAH THE PROPHET,
SAYING, THOU FALLEST AWAY TO THE CHALDEANS. 14 THEN SAID
JEREMIAH, IT IS FALSE; I FALL NOT AWAY TO THE CHALDEANS. BUT

981
 JEREMIAH
CAST CLOUTS AND OLD ROTTEN RAGS, AND LET THEM DOWN BY
CHAPTER 38 CORDS INTO THE DUNGEON TO JEREMIAH. 12 AND EBED-MELECH
THE ETHIOPIAN SAID UNTO JEREMIAH, PUT NOW THESE OLD CAST
THEN SHEPHATIAH THE SON OF MATTAN, AND GEDALIAH THE SON CLOUTS AND ROTTEN RAGS UNDER THINE ARMHOLES UNDER THE
OF PASHUR, AND JUCAL THE SON OF SHELEMIAH, AND PASHUR THE CORDS. AND JEREMIAH DID SO. 13 SO THEY DREW UP JEREMIAH
SON OF MALCHIAH, HEARD THE WORDS THAT JEREMIAH HAD WITH CORDS, AND TOOK HIM UP OUT OF THE DUNGEON: AND
SPOKEN UNTO ALL THE PEOPLE, SAYING, 2 THUS SAITH THE LORD, JEREMIAH REMAINED IN THE COURT OF THE PRISON. 14 THEN
HE THAT REMAINETH IN THIS CITY SHALL DIE BY THE SWORD, BY ZEDEKIAH THE KING SENT, AND TOOK JEREMIAH THE PROPHET
THE FAMINE, AND BY THE PESTILENCE: BUT HE THAT GOETH FORTH UNTO HIM INTO THE THIRD ENTRY THAT IS IN THE HOUSE OF THE
TO THE CHALDEANS SHALL LIVE; FOR HE SHALL HAVE HIS LIFE FOR LORD: AND THE KING SAID UNTO JEREMIAH, I WILL ASK THEE A
A PREY, AND SHALL LIVE. 3 THUS SAITH THE LORD, THIS CITY SHALL THING; HIDE NOTHING FROM ME. 15 THEN JEREMIAH SAID UNTO
SURELY BE GIVEN INTO THE HAND OF THE KING OF BABYLON’S ARMY, ZEDEKIAH, IF I DECLARE IT UNTO THEE, WILT THOU NOT SURELY
WHICH SHALL TAKE IT. 4 THEREFORE THE PRINCES SAID UNTO THE PUT ME TO DEATH? AND IF I GIVE THEE COUNSEL, WILT THOU NOT
KING, WE BESEECH THEE, LET THIS MAN BE PUT TO DEATH: FOR HEARKEN UNTO ME? 16 SO ZEDEKIAH THE KING SWARE SECRETLY
THUS HE WEAKENETH THE HANDS OF THE MEN OF WAR THAT UNTO JEREMIAH, SAYING, AS THE LORD LIVETH, THAT MADE US THIS
REMAIN IN THIS CITY, AND THE HANDS OF ALL THE PEOPLE, IN SOUL, I WILL NOT PUT THEE TO DEATH, NEITHER WILL I GIVE THEE
SPEAKING SUCH WORDS UNTO THEM: FOR THIS MAN SEEKETH NOT INTO THE HAND OF THESE MEN THAT SEEK THY LIFE. 17 THEN SAID
THE WELFARE OF THIS PEOPLE, BUT THE HURT. 5 THEN ZEDEKIAH JEREMIAH UNTO ZEDEKIAH, THUS SAITH THE LORD, THE GOD OF
THE KING SAID, BEHOLD, HE IS IN YOUR HAND: FOR THE KING IS HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL; IF THOU WILT ASSUREDLY GO FORTH
NOT HE THAT CAN DO ANY THING AGAINST YOU. 6 THEN TOOK THEY UNTO THE KING OF BABYLON’S PRINCES, THEN THY SOUL SHALL

SON OF HAMMELECH, THAT WAS IN THE COURT OF THE PRISON: SHALT LIVE, AND THINE HOUSE: 18 BUT IF THOU WILT NOT GO
AND THEY LET DOWN JEREMIAH WITH CORDS. AND IN THE FORTH TO THE KING OF BABYLON’S PRINCES, THEN SHALL THIS CITY
DUNGEON THERE WAS NO WATER, BUT MIRE: SO JEREMIAH SUNK BE GIVEN INTO THE HAND OF THE CHALDEANS, AND THEY SHALL

THE EUNUCHS WHICH WAS IN THE KING’S HOUSE, HEARD THAT HAND. 19 AND ZEDEKIAH THE KING SAID UNTO JEREMIAH, I AM
THEY HAD PUT JEREMIAH IN THE DUNGEON; THE KING THEN AFRAID OF THE JEWS THAT ARE FALLEN TO THE CHALDEANS, LEST
SITTING IN THE GATE OF BENJAMIN; 8 EBED-MELECH WENT FORTH THEY DELIVER ME INTO THEIR HAND, AND THEY MOCK ME. 20 BUT
OUT OF THE KING’S HOUSE, AND SPAKE TO THE KING, SAYING, 9 MY JEREMIAH SAID, THEY SHALL NOT DELIVER THEE. OBEY, I BESEECH
LORD THE KING, THESE MEN HAVE DONE EVIL IN ALL THAT THEY THEE, THE VOICE OF THE LORD, WHICH I SPEAK UNTO THEE: SO IT
HAVE DONE TO JEREMIAH THE PROPHET, WHOM THEY HAVE CAST SHALL BE WELL UNTO THEE, AND THY SOUL SHALL LIVE. 21 BUT IF

 JEREMIAH
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 THOU SHALT CAUSE THIS CITY TO
BE BURNED WITH FIRE. 24 THEN SAID ZEDEKIAH 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 WHAT THOU HAST SAID UNTO THE KING, HIDE IT NOT FROM
US, AND WE WILL NOT PUT THEE TO DEATH; ALSO WHAT THE KING
SAID UNTO THEE: 26 THEN THOU SHALT SAY UNTO THEM, I
PRESENTED MY SUPPLICATION BEFORE THE KING, THAT HE WOULD
NOT CAUSE ME TO RETURN TO JONATHAN’S HOUSE, TO DIE THERE.
27 THEN CAME ALL THE PRINCES UNTO JEREMIAH, AND ASKED HIM:
AND HE TOLD THEM ACCORDING TO ALL THESE WORDS THAT THE
KING HAD COMMANDED. SO THEY LEFT OFF SPEAKING WITH HIM;
FOR THE MATTER WAS NOT PERCEIVED. 28 SO JEREMIAH ABODE IN
THE COURT OF THE PRISON UNTIL THE DAY THAT JERUSALEM WAS
TAKEN: AND HE WAS THERE WHEN JERUSALEM WAS TAKEN.

983
 JEREMIAH
THEE. 13 SO NEBUZAR-ADAN THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD SENT,
CHAPTER 39 AND NEBUSHASBAN, RAB-SARIS, AND NERGAL-SHAREZER, RAB-

ELEVENTH YEAR OF ZEDEKIAH, IN THE FOURTH MONTH, THE NINTH AMONG THE PEOPLE. 15 NOW THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO
DAY OF THE MONTH, THE CITY WAS BROKEN UP. 3 AND ALL THE JEREMIAH, WHILE HE WAS SHUT UP IN THE COURT OF THE PRISON,
PRINCES OF THE KING OF BABYLON CAME IN, AND SAT IN THE SAYING, 16 GO AND SPEAK TO EBED-MELECH THE ETHIOPIAN,

THE RESIDUE OF THE PRINCES OF THE KING OF BABYLON. 4 AND IT NOT FOR GOOD; AND THEY SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED IN THAT DAY
CAME TO PASS, THAT WHEN ZEDEKIAH THE KING OF JUDAH SAW BEFORE THEE. 17 BUT I WILL DELIVER THEE IN THAT DAY, SAITH THE

OF JERICHO: AND WHEN THEY HAD TAKEN HIM, THEY BROUGHT HIM
UP TO NEBUCHADNEZZAR KING OF BABYLON TO RIBLAH IN THE
LAND OF HAMATH, WHERE HE GAVE JUDGMENT UPON HIM. 6 THEN
THE KING OF BABYLON SLEW THE SONS OF ZEDEKIAH IN RIBLAH
BEFORE HIS EYES: ALSO THE KING OF BABYLON SLEW ALL THE
NOBLES OF JUDAH. 7 MOREOVER HE PUT OUT ZEDEKIAH’S EYES,
AND BOUND HIM WITH CHAINS, TO CARRY HIM TO BABYLON. 8 AND
THE CHALDEANS BURNED THE KING’S HOUSE, AND THE HOUSES OF
THE PEOPLE, WITH FIRE, AND BRAKE DOWN THE WALLS OF
JERUSALEM. 9 THEN NEBUZAR-ADAN THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD
CARRIED AWAY CAPTIVE INTO BABYLON THE REMNANT OF THE
PEOPLE THAT REMAINED IN THE CITY, AND THOSE THAT FELL AWAY,
THAT FELL TO HIM, WITH THE REST OF THE PEOPLE THAT REMAINED.
10 BUT NEBUZAR-ADAN THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD LEFT OF THE
POOR OF THE PEOPLE, WHICH HAD NOTHING, IN THE LAND OF
JUDAH, AND GAVE THEM VINEYARDS AND FIELDS AT THE SAME TIME.
11 NOW NEBUCHADREZZAR KING OF BABYLON GAVE CHARGE
CONCERNING JEREMIAH TO NEBUZAR-ADAN THE CAPTAIN OF THE
GUARD, SAYING, 12 TAKE HIM, AND LOOK WELL TO HIM, AND DO
HIM NO HARM; BUT DO UNTO HIM EVEN AS HE SHALL SAY UNTO

CHAPTER 40 SON OF AHIKAM THE SON OF SHAPHAN SWARE UNTO THEM AND TO
THEIR MEN, SAYING, FEAR NOT TO SERVE THE CHALDEANS: DWELL
THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAH FROM THE LORD, AFTER THAT IN THE LAND, AND SERVE THE KING OF BABYLON, AND IT SHALL BE
NEBUZAR-ADAN THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD HAD LET HIM GO WELL WITH YOU. 10 AS FOR ME, BEHOLD, I WILL DWELL AT MIZPAH
FROM RAMAH, WHEN HE HAD TAKEN HIM BEING BOUND IN CHAINS TO SERVE THE CHALDEANS, WHICH WILL COME UNTO US: BUT YE,
AMONG ALL THAT WERE CARRIED AWAY CAPTIVE OF JERUSALEM GATHER YE WINE, AND SUMMER FRUITS, AND OIL, AND PUT THEM
AND JUDAH, WHICH WERE CARRIED AWAY CAPTIVE UNTO BABYLON. IN YOUR VESSELS, AND DWELL IN YOUR CITIES THAT YE HAVE TAKEN.
2 AND THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD TOOK JEREMIAH, AND SAID 11 LIKEWISE WHEN ALL THE JEWS THAT WERE IN MOAB, AND
UNTO HIM, THE LORD THY GOD HATH PRONOUNCED THIS EVIL UPON AMONG THE AMMONITES, AND IN EDOM, AND THAT WERE IN ALL
THIS PLACE. 3 NOW THE LORD HATH BROUGHT IT, AND DONE THE COUNTRIES, HEARD THAT THE KING OF BABYLON HAD LEFT A

THE LORD, AND HAVE NOT OBEYED HIS VOICE, THEREFORE THIS THE SON OF AHIKAM THE SON OF SHAPHAN; 12 EVEN ALL THE JEWS
THING IS COME UPON YOU. 4 AND NOW, BEHOLD, I LOOSE THEE RETURNED OUT OF ALL PLACES WHITHER THEY WERE DRIVEN, AND
THIS DAY FROM THE CHAINS WHICH WERE UPON THINE HAND. IF IT CAME TO THE LAND OF JUDAH, TO GEDALIAH, UNTO MIZPAH, AND
SEEM GOOD UNTO THEE TO COME WITH ME INTO BABYLON, COME; GATHERED WINE AND SUMMER FRUITS VERY MUCH. 13 MOREOVER
AND I WILL LOOK WELL UNTO THEE: BUT IF IT SEEM ILL UNTO THEE JOHANAN THE SON OF KAREAH, AND ALL THE CAPTAINS OF THE
TO COME WITH ME INTO BABYLON, FORBEAR: BEHOLD, ALL THE FORCES THAT WERE IN THE FIELDS, CAME TO GEDALIAH TO MIZPAH,
LAND IS BEFORE THEE: WHITHER IT SEEMETH GOOD AND 14 AND SAID UNTO HIM, DOST THOU CERTAINLY KNOW THAT BAALIS
CONVENIENT FOR THEE TO GO, THITHER GO. 5 NOW WHILE HE WAS THE KING OF THE AMMONITES HATH SENT ISHMAEL THE SON OF

SON OF AHIKAM THE SON OF SHAPHAN, WHOM THE KING OF BELIEVED THEM NOT. 15 THEN JOHANAN THE SON OF KAREAH
BABYLON HATH MADE GOVERNOR OVER THE CITIES OF JUDAH, AND SPAKE TO GEDALIAH IN MIZPAH SECRETLY, SAYING, LET ME GO, I
DWELL WITH HIM AMONG THE PEOPLE: OR GO WHERESOEVER IT PRAY THEE, AND I WILL SLAY ISHMAEL THE SON OF NETHANIAH,
SEEMETH CONVENIENT UNTO THEE TO GO. SO THE CAPTAIN OF THE AND NO MAN SHALL KNOW IT: WHEREFORE SHOULD HE SLAY THEE,
GUARD GAVE HIM VICTUALS AND A REWARD, AND LET HIM GO. 6 THAT ALL THE JEWS WHICH ARE GATHERED UNTO THEE SHOULD BE
THEN WENT JEREMIAH UNTO GEDALIAH THE SON OF AHIKAM TO SCATTERED, AND THE REMNANT IN JUDAH PERISH? 16 BUT
MIZPAH; AND DWELT WITH HIM AMONG THE PEOPLE THAT WERE GEDALIAH THE SON OF AHIKAM SAID UNTO JOHANAN THE SON OF
LEFT IN THE LAND. 7 NOW WHEN ALL THE CAPTAINS OF THE FORCES KAREAH, THOU SHALT NOT DO THIS THING: FOR THOU SPEAKEST
WHICH WERE IN THE FIELDS, EVEN THEY AND THEIR MEN, HEARD FALSELY OF ISHMAEL.
THAT THE KING OF BABYLON HAD MADE GEDALIAH THE SON OF
AHIKAM GOVERNOR IN THE LAND, AND HAD COMMITTED UNTO HIM
MEN, AND WOMEN, AND CHILDREN, AND OF THE POOR OF THE
LAND, OF THEM THAT WERE NOT CARRIED AWAY CAPTIVE TO
BABYLON; 8 THEN THEY CAME TO GEDALIAH TO MIZPAH, EVEN
ISHMAEL THE SON OF NETHANIAH, AND JOHANAN AND JONATHAN
THE SONS OF KAREAH, AND SERAIAH THE SON OF TANHUMETH, AND
THE SONS OF EPHAI THE NETOPHATHITE, AND JEZANIAH THE SON

 JEREMIAH
ADAN THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD HAD COMMITTED TO GEDALIAH
CHAPTER 41 THE SON OF AHIKAM: AND ISHMAEL THE SON OF NETHANIAH
CARRIED THEM AWAY CAPTIVE, AND DEPARTED TO GO OVER TO THE
NOW IT CAME TO PASS IN THE SEVENTH MONTH, THAT ISHMAEL THE AMMONITES. 11 BUT WHEN JOHANAN THE SON OF KAREAH, AND
SON OF NETHANIAH THE SON OF ELISHAMA, OF THE SEED ROYAL, ALL THE CAPTAINS OF THE FORCES THAT WERE WITH HIM, HEARD
AND THE PRINCES OF THE KING, EVEN TEN MEN WITH HIM, CAME OF ALL THE EVIL THAT ISHMAEL THE SON OF NETHANIAH HAD DONE,
UNTO GEDALIAH THE SON OF AHIKAM TO MIZPAH; AND THERE THEY 12 THEN THEY TOOK ALL THE MEN, AND WENT TO FIGHT WITH
DID EAT BREAD TOGETHER IN MIZPAH. 2 THEN AROSE ISHMAEL THE ISHMAEL THE SON OF NETHANIAH, AND FOUND HIM BY THE GREAT
SON OF NETHANIAH, AND THE TEN MEN THAT WERE WITH HIM, AND WATERS THAT ARE IN GIBEON. 13 NOW IT CAME TO PASS, THAT
SMOTE GEDALIAH THE SON OF AHIKAM THE SON OF SHAPHAN WITH WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE WHICH WERE WITH ISHMAEL SAW JOHANAN
THE SWORD, AND SLEW HIM, WHOM THE KING OF BABYLON HAD THE SON OF KAREAH, AND ALL THE CAPTAINS OF THE FORCES THAT
MADE GOVERNOR OVER THE LAND. 3 ISHMAEL ALSO SLEW ALL THE WERE WITH HIM, THEN THEY WERE GLAD. 14 SO ALL THE PEOPLE
JEWS THAT WERE WITH HIM, EVEN WITH GEDALIAH, AT MIZPAH, THAT ISHMAEL HAD CARRIED AWAY CAPTIVE FROM MIZPAH CAST
AND THE CHALDEANS THAT WERE FOUND THERE, AND THE MEN OF ABOUT AND RETURNED, AND WENT UNTO JOHANAN THE SON OF
WAR. 4 AND IT CAME TO PASS THE SECOND DAY AFTER HE HAD SLAIN KAREAH. 15 BUT ISHMAEL THE SON OF NETHANIAH ESCAPED FROM
GEDALIAH, AND NO MAN KNEW IT, 5 THAT THERE CAME CERTAIN JOHANAN WITH EIGHT MEN, AND WENT TO THE AMMONITES. 16
FROM SHECHEM, FROM SHILOH, AND FROM SAMARIA, EVEN THEN TOOK JOHANAN THE SON OF KAREAH, AND ALL THE CAPTAINS
FOURSCORE MEN, HAVING THEIR BEARDS SHAVEN, AND THEIR OF THE FORCES THAT WERE WITH HIM, ALL THE REMNANT OF THE
CLOTHES RENT, AND HAVING CUT THEMSELVES, WITH OFFERINGS PEOPLE WHOM HE HAD RECOVERED FROM ISHMAEL THE SON OF
AND INCENSE IN THEIR HAND, TO BRING THEM TO THE HOUSE OF NETHANIAH, FROM MIZPAH, AFTER THAT HE HAD SLAIN GEDALIAH
THE LORD. 6 AND ISHMAEL THE SON OF NETHANIAH WENT FORTH THE SON OF AHIKAM, EVEN MIGHTY MEN OF WAR, AND THE WOMEN,
FROM MIZPAH TO MEET THEM, WEEPING ALL ALONG AS HE WENT: AND THE CHILDREN, AND THE EUNUCHS, WHOM HE HAD BROUGHT
AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS HE MET THEM, HE SAID UNTO THEM, AGAIN FROM GIBEON: 17 AND THEY DEPARTED, AND DWELT IN THE
COME TO GEDALIAH THE SON OF AHIKAM. 7 AND IT WAS SO, WHEN HABITATION OF CHIMHAM, WHICH IS BY BETHLEHEM, TO GO TO
THEY CAME INTO THE MIDST OF THE CITY, THAT ISHMAEL THE SON ENTER INTO EGYPT, 18 BECAUSE OF THE CHALDEANS: FOR THEY
OF NETHANIAH SLEW THEM, AND CAST THEM INTO THE MIDST OF WERE AFRAID OF THEM, BECAUSE ISHMAEL THE SON OF NETHANIAH
THE PIT, HE, AND THE MEN THAT WERE WITH HIM. 8 BUT TEN MEN HAD SLAIN GEDALIAH THE SON OF AHIKAM, WHOM THE KING OF
WERE FOUND AMONG THEM THAT SAID UNTO ISHMAEL, SLAY US BABYLON MADE GOVERNOR IN THE LAND.
NOT: FOR WE HAVE TREASURES IN THE FIELD, OF WHEAT, AND OF
BARLEY, AND OF OIL, AND OF HONEY. SO HE FORBARE, AND SLEW
THEM NOT AMONG THEIR BRETHREN. 9 NOW THE PIT WHEREIN
ISHMAEL HAD CAST ALL THE DEAD BODIES OF THE MEN, WHOM HE
HAD SLAIN BECAUSE OF GEDALIAH, WAS IT WHICH ASA THE KING
HAD MADE FOR FEAR OF BAASHA KING OF ISRAEL: AND ISHMAEL THE
SON OF NETHANIAH FILLED IT WITH THEM THAT WERE SLAIN. 10
THEN ISHMAEL CARRIED AWAY CAPTIVE ALL THE RESIDUE OF THE
PEOPLE THAT WERE IN MIZPAH, EVEN THE KING’S DAUGHTERS, AND
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT REMAINED IN MIZPAH, WHOM NEBUZAR-

HEAR THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET, NOR HAVE HUNGER OF BREAD;
THEN ALL THE CAPTAINS OF THE FORCES, AND JOHANAN THE SON AND THERE WILL WE DWELL: 15 AND NOW THEREFORE HEAR THE
OF KAREAH, AND JEZANIAH THE SON OF HOSHAIAH, AND ALL THE WORD OF THE LORD, YE REMNANT OF JUDAH; THUS SAITH THE LORD
PEOPLE FROM THE LEAST EVEN UNTO THE GREATEST, CAME NEAR, OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL; IF YE WHOLLY SET YOUR FACES TO
2 AND SAID UNTO JEREMIAH THE PROPHET, LET, WE BESEECH THEE, ENTER INTO EGYPT, AND GO TO SOJOURN THERE; 16 THEN IT SHALL
OUR SUPPLICATION BE ACCEPTED BEFORE THEE, AND PRAY FOR US COME TO PASS, THAT THE SWORD, WHICH YE FEARED, SHALL
UNTO THE LORD THY GOD, EVEN FOR ALL THIS REMNANT; (FOR WE OVERTAKE YOU THERE IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND THE FAMINE,
ARE LEFT BUT A FEW OF MANY, AS THINE EYES DO BEHOLD US:) 3 WHEREOF YE WERE AFRAID, SHALL FOLLOW CLOSE AFTER YOU
THAT THE LORD THY GOD MAY SHEW US THE WAY WHEREIN WE MAY THERE IN EGYPT; AND THERE YE SHALL DIE. 17 SO SHALL IT BE WITH
WALK, AND THE THING THAT WE MAY DO. 4 THEN JEREMIAH THE ALL THE MEN THAT SET THEIR FACES TO GO INTO EGYPT TO SOJOURN
PROPHET SAID UNTO THEM, I HAVE HEARD YOU; BEHOLD, I WILL THERE; THEY SHALL DIE BY THE SWORD, BY THE FAMINE, AND BY
PRAY UNTO THE LORD YOUR GOD ACCORDING TO YOUR WORDS; AND THE PESTILENCE: AND NONE OF THEM SHALL REMAIN OR ESCAPE
IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT WHATSOEVER THING THE LORD FROM THE EVIL THAT I WILL BRING UPON THEM. 18 FOR THUS SAITH
SHALL ANSWER YOU, I WILL DECLARE IT UNTO YOU; I WILL KEEP THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL; AS MINE ANGER AND MY
NOTHING BACK FROM YOU. 5 THEN THEY SAID TO JEREMIAH, THE FURY HATH BEEN POURED FORTH UPON THE INHABITANTS OF
LORD BE A TRUE AND FAITHFUL WITNESS BETWEEN US, IF WE DO JERUSALEM; SO SHALL MY FURY BE POURED FORTH UPON YOU,
NOT EVEN ACCORDING TO ALL THINGS FOR THE WHICH THE LORD WHEN YE SHALL ENTER INTO EGYPT: AND YE SHALL BE AN
THY GOD SHALL SEND THEE TO US. 6 WHETHER IT BE GOOD, OR EXECRATION, AND AN ASTONISHMENT, AND A CURSE, AND A
WHETHER IT BE EVIL, WE WILL OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD OUR REPROACH; AND YE SHALL SEE THIS PLACE NO MORE. 19 THE LORD
GOD, TO WHOM WE SEND THEE; THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH US, HATH SAID CONCERNING YOU, O YE REMNANT OF JUDAH; GO YE NOT
WHEN WE OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD OUR GOD. 7 AND IT CAME INTO EGYPT: KNOW CERTAINLY THAT I HAVE ADMONISHED YOU THIS
TO PASS AFTER TEN DAYS, THAT THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME DAY. 20 FOR YE DISSEMBLED IN YOUR HEARTS, WHEN YE SENT ME
UNTO JEREMIAH. 8 THEN CALLED HE JOHANAN THE SON OF KAREAH, UNTO THE LORD YOUR GOD, SAYING, PRAY FOR US UNTO THE LORD
AND ALL THE CAPTAINS OF THE FORCES WHICH WERE WITH HIM, OUR GOD; AND ACCORDING UNTO ALL THAT THE LORD OUR GOD
AND ALL THE PEOPLE FROM THE LEAST EVEN TO THE GREATEST, 9 SHALL SAY, SO DECLARE UNTO US, AND WE WILL DO IT. 21 AND
AND SAID UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, NOW I HAVE THIS DAY DECLARED IT TO YOU; BUT YE HAVE NOT
UNTO WHOM YE SENT ME TO PRESENT YOUR SUPPLICATION BEFORE OBEYED THE VOICE OF THE LORD YOUR GOD, NOR ANY THING FOR

YOU, AND NOT PULL YOU DOWN, AND I WILL PLANT YOU, AND NOT KNOW CERTAINLY THAT YE SHALL DIE BY THE SWORD, BY THE
PLUCK YOU UP: FOR I REPENT ME OF THE EVIL THAT I HAVE DONE FAMINE, AND BY THE PESTILENCE, IN THE PLACE WHITHER YE

YE ARE AFRAID; BE NOT AFRAID OF HIM, SAITH THE LORD: FOR I AM
WITH YOU TO SAVE YOU, AND TO DELIVER YOU FROM HIS HAND. 12
AND I WILL SHEW MERCIES UNTO YOU, THAT HE MAY HAVE MERCY
UPON YOU, AND CAUSE YOU TO RETURN TO YOUR OWN LAND. 13
BUT IF YE SAY, WE WILL NOT DWELL IN THIS LAND, NEITHER OBEY

OF SPEAKING UNTO ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE WORDS OF THE LORD FROM THENCE IN PEACE. 13 HE SHALL BREAK ALSO THE IMAGES OF
THEIR GOD, FOR WHICH THE LORD THEIR GOD HAD SENT HIM TO BETHSHEMESH, THAT IS IN THE LAND OF EGYPT; AND THE HOUSES

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, GO NOT INTO
EGYPT TO SOJOURN THERE: 3 BUT BARUCH THE SON OF NERIAH
SETTETH THEE ON AGAINST US, FOR TO DELIVER US INTO THE HAND
OF THE CHALDEANS, THAT THEY MIGHT PUT US TO DEATH, AND
CARRY US AWAY CAPTIVES INTO BABYLON. 4 SO JOHANAN THE SON
OF KAREAH, AND ALL THE CAPTAINS OF THE FORCES, AND ALL THE
PEOPLE, OBEYED NOT THE VOICE OF THE LORD, TO DWELL IN THE
LAND OF JUDAH. 5 BUT JOHANAN THE SON OF KAREAH, AND ALL
THE CAPTAINS OF THE FORCES, TOOK ALL THE REMNANT OF JUDAH,
THAT WERE RETURNED FROM ALL NATIONS, WHITHER THEY HAD
BEEN DRIVEN, TO DWELL IN THE LAND OF JUDAH; 6 EVEN MEN, AND
WOMEN, AND CHILDREN, AND THE KING’S DAUGHTERS, AND EVERY
PERSON THAT NEBUZAR-ADAN THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD HAD
LEFT WITH GEDALIAH THE SON OF AHIKAM THE SON OF SHAPHAN,
AND JEREMIAH THE PROPHET, AND BARUCH THE SON OF NERIAH. 7
SO THEY CAME INTO THE LAND OF EGYPT: FOR THEY OBEYED NOT
THE VOICE OF THE LORD: THUS CAME THEY EVEN TO TAHPANHES. 8
THEN CAME THE WORD OF THE LORD UNTO JEREMIAH IN
TAHPANHES, SAYING, 9 TAKE GREAT STONES IN THINE HAND, AND
HIDE THEM IN THE CLAY IN THE BRICKKILN, WHICH IS AT THE ENTRY
OF PHARAOH’S HOUSE IN TAHPANHES, IN THE SIGHT OF THE MEN
OF JUDAH; 10 AND SAY UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD OF
HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL; BEHOLD, I WILL SEND AND TAKE
NEBUCHADREZZAR THE KING OF BABYLON, MY SERVANT, AND WILL
SET HIS THRONE UPON THESE STONES THAT I HAVE HID; AND HE
SHALL SPREAD HIS ROYAL PAVILION OVER THEM. 11 AND WHEN HE
COMETH, HE SHALL SMITE THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND DELIVER SUCH
AS ARE FOR DEATH TO DEATH; AND SUCH AS ARE FOR CAPTIVITY TO
CAPTIVITY; AND SUCH AS ARE FOR THE SWORD TO THE SWORD. 12

988
 JEREMIAH
THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL;
CHAPTER 44 BEHOLD, I WILL SET MY FACE AGAINST YOU FOR EVIL, AND TO CUT
OFF ALL JUDAH. 12 AND I WILL TAKE THE REMNANT OF JUDAH, THAT
THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAH CONCERNING ALL THE JEWS HAVE SET THEIR FACES TO GO INTO THE LAND OF EGYPT TO SOJOURN
WHICH DWELL IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, WHICH DWELL AT MIGDOL, THERE, AND THEY SHALL ALL BE CONSUMED, AND FALL IN THE
AND AT TAHPANHES, AND AT NOPH, AND IN THE COUNTRY OF LAND OF EGYPT; THEY SHALL EVEN BE CONSUMED BY THE SWORD
PATHROS, SAYING, 2 THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF AND BY THE FAMINE: THEY SHALL DIE, FROM THE LEAST EVEN UNTO
ISRAEL; YE HAVE SEEN ALL THE EVIL THAT I HAVE BROUGHT UPON THE GREATEST, BY THE SWORD AND BY THE FAMINE: AND THEY
JERUSALEM, AND UPON ALL THE CITIES OF JUDAH; AND, BEHOLD, SHALL BE AN EXECRATION, AND AN ASTONISHMENT, AND A CURSE,
THIS DAY THEY ARE A DESOLATION, AND NO MAN DWELLETH AND A REPROACH. 13 FOR I WILL PUNISH THEM THAT DWELL IN THE
THEREIN, 3 BECAUSE OF THEIR WICKEDNESS WHICH THEY HAVE LAND OF EGYPT, AS I HAVE PUNISHED JERUSALEM, BY THE SWORD,
COMMITTED TO PROVOKE ME TO ANGER, IN THAT THEY WENT TO BY THE FAMINE, AND BY THE PESTILENCE: 14 SO THAT NONE OF THE
BURN INCENSE, AND TO SERVE OTHER GODS, WHOM THEY KNEW REMNANT OF JUDAH, WHICH ARE GONE INTO THE LAND OF EGYPT
NOT, NEITHER THEY, YE, NOR YOUR FATHERS. 4 HOWBEIT I SENT TO SOJOURN THERE, SHALL ESCAPE OR REMAIN, THAT THEY
UNTO YOU ALL MY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS, RISING EARLY AND SHOULD RETURN INTO THE LAND OF JUDAH, TO THE WHICH THEY
SENDING THEM, SAYING, OH, DO NOT THIS ABOMINABLE THING HAVE A DESIRE TO RETURN TO DWELL THERE: FOR NONE SHALL
THAT I HATE. 5 BUT THEY HEARKENED NOT, NOR INCLINED THEIR RETURN BUT SUCH AS SHALL ESCAPE. 15 THEN ALL THE MEN WHICH
EAR TO TURN FROM THEIR WICKEDNESS, TO BURN NO INCENSE KNEW THAT THEIR WIVES HAD BURNED INCENSE UNTO OTHER GODS,
UNTO OTHER GODS. 6 WHEREFORE MY FURY AND MINE ANGER WAS AND ALL THE WOMEN THAT STOOD BY, A GREAT MULTITUDE, EVEN
POURED FORTH, AND WAS KINDLED IN THE CITIES OF JUDAH AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DWELT IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, IN PATHROS,
IN THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM; AND THEY ARE WASTED AND ANSWERED JEREMIAH, SAYING, 16 AS FOR THE WORD THAT THOU
DESOLATE, AS AT THIS DAY. 7 THEREFORE NOW THUS SAITH THE HAST SPOKEN UNTO US IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, WE WILL NOT
LORD, THE GOD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL; WHEREFORE HEARKEN UNTO THEE. 17 BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY DO
COMMIT YE THIS GREAT EVIL AGAINST YOUR SOULS, TO CUT OFF WHATSOEVER THING GOETH FORTH OUT OF OUR OWN MOUTH, TO
FROM YOU MAN AND WOMAN, CHILD AND SUCKLING, OUT OF BURN INCENSE UNTO THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN, AND TO POUR OUT
JUDAH, TO LEAVE YOU NONE TO REMAIN; 8 IN THAT YE PROVOKE DRINK OFFERINGS UNTO HER, AS WE HAVE DONE, WE, AND OUR
ME UNTO WRATH WITH THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS, BURNING FATHERS, OUR KINGS, AND OUR PRINCES, IN THE CITIES OF JUDAH,
INCENSE UNTO OTHER GODS IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, WHITHER YE AND IN THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM: FOR THEN HAD WE PLENTY OF
BE GONE TO DWELL, THAT YE MIGHT CUT YOURSELVES OFF, AND VICTUALS, AND WERE WELL, AND SAW NO EVIL. 18 BUT SINCE WE
THAT YE MIGHT BE A CURSE AND A REPROACH AMONG ALL THE LEFT OFF TO BURN INCENSE TO THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN, AND TO
NATIONS OF THE EARTH? 9 HAVE YE FORGOTTEN THE WICKEDNESS POUR OUT DRINK OFFERINGS UNTO HER, WE HAVE WANTED ALL
OF YOUR FATHERS, AND THE WICKEDNESS OF THE KINGS OF JUDAH, THINGS, AND HAVE BEEN CONSUMED BY THE SWORD AND BY THE
AND THE WICKEDNESS OF THEIR WIVES, AND YOUR OWN FAMINE. 19 AND WHEN WE BURNED INCENSE TO THE QUEEN OF
WICKEDNESS, AND THE WICKEDNESS OF YOUR WIVES, WHICH THEY HEAVEN, AND POURED OUT DRINK OFFERINGS UNTO HER, DID WE
HAVE COMMITTED IN THE LAND OF JUDAH, AND IN THE STREETS OF MAKE HER CAKES TO WORSHIP HER, AND POUR OUT DRINK
JERUSALEM? 10 THEY ARE NOT HUMBLED EVEN UNTO THIS DAY, OFFERINGS UNTO HER, WITHOUT OUR MEN? 20 THEN JEREMIAH
NEITHER HAVE THEY FEARED, NOR WALKED IN MY LAW, NOR IN MY SAID UNTO ALL THE PEOPLE, TO THE MEN, AND TO THE WOMEN,
STATUTES, THAT I SET BEFORE YOU AND BEFORE YOUR FATHERS. 11 AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHICH HAD GIVEN HIM THAT ANSWER,

989
 JEREMIAH
SAYING, 21 THE INCENSE THAT YE BURNED IN THE CITIES OF JUDAH, EGYPT INTO THE HAND OF HIS ENEMIES, AND INTO THE HAND OF
AND IN THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM, YE, AND YOUR FATHERS, YOUR THEM THAT SEEK HIS LIFE; AS I GAVE ZEDEKIAH KING OF JUDAH
KINGS, AND YOUR PRINCES, AND THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND, DID INTO THE HAND OF NEBUCHADREZZAR KING OF BABYLON, HIS
NOT THE LORD REMEMBER THEM, AND CAME IT NOT INTO HIS MIND? ENEMY, AND THAT SOUGHT HIS LIFE.
22 SO THAT THE LORD COULD NO LONGER BEAR, BECAUSE OF THE
EVIL OF YOUR DOINGS, AND BECAUSE OF THE ABOMINATIONS
WHICH YE HAVE COMMITTED; THEREFORE IS YOUR LAND A
DESOLATION, AND AN ASTONISHMENT, AND A CURSE, WITHOUT AN
INHABITANT, AS AT THIS DAY. 23 BECAUSE 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 TESTIMONIES; THEREFORE
THIS EVIL IS HAPPENED UNTO YOU, AS AT 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 IN THE LAND
OF EGYPT: 25 THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL,
SAYING; YE AND YOUR WIVES HAVE BOTH SPOKEN WITH YOUR
MOUTHS, AND FULFILLED WITH YOUR HAND, SAYING, WE WILL
SURELY PERFORM OUR VOWS THAT WE HAVE VOWED, TO BURN
INCENSE TO THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN, AND TO POUR OUT DRINK

CHAPTER 5 12 A THIRD PART OF THEE SHALL DIE WITH THE PESTILENCE, AND
WITH FAMINE SHALL THEY BE CONSUMED IN THE MIDST OF THEE:
AND THOU, SON OF MAN, TAKE THEE A SHARP KNIFE, TAKE THEE A AND A THIRD PART SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD ROUND ABOUT THEE;
BARBER’S RASOR, AND CAUSE IT TO PASS UPON THINE HEAD AND AND I WILL SCATTER A THIRD PART INTO ALL THE WINDS, AND I

INTO WICKEDNESS MORE THAN THE NATIONS, AND MY STATUTES SEND TO DESTROY YOU: AND I WILL INCREASE THE FAMINE UPON
MORE THAN THE COUNTRIES THAT ARE ROUND ABOUT HER: FOR YOU, AND WILL BREAK YOUR STAFF OF BREAD: 17 SO WILL I SEND
THEY HAVE REFUSED MY JUDGMENTS AND MY STATUTES, THEY UPON YOU FAMINE AND EVIL BEASTS, AND THEY SHALL BEREAVE
HAVE NOT WALKED IN THEM. 7 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD THEE; AND PESTILENCE AND BLOOD SHALL PASS THROUGH THEE;
GOD; BECAUSE YE MULTIPLIED MORE THAN THE NATIONS THAT ARE AND I WILL BRING THE SWORD UPON THEE. I THE LORD HAVE
ROUND ABOUT YOU, AND HAVE NOT WALKED IN MY STATUTES, SPOKEN IT.
NEITHER HAVE KEPT MY JUDGMENTS, NEITHER HAVE DONE
ACCORDING TO THE JUDGMENTS OF THE NATIONS THAT ARE ROUND
ABOUT YOU; 8 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I,

THEE THAT WHICH I HAVE NOT DONE, AND WHEREUNTO I WILL NOT
DO ANY MORE THE LIKE, BECAUSE OF ALL THINE ABOMINATIONS. 10
THEREFORE THE FATHERS SHALL EAT THE SONS IN THE MIDST OF
THEE, AND THE SONS SHALL EAT THEIR FATHERS; AND I WILL
EXECUTE JUDGMENTS IN THEE, AND THE WHOLE REMNANT OF THEE
WILL I SCATTER INTO ALL THE WINDS. 11 WHEREFORE, AS I LIVE,

SHALL YE KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, WHEN THEIR SLAIN MEN
CHAPTER 6 SHALL BE AMONG THEIR IDOLS ROUND ABOUT THEIR ALTARS, UPON
EVERY HIGH HILL, IN ALL THE TOPS OF THE MOUNTAINS, AND

MAN, SET THY FACE TOWARD THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL, AND PLACE WHERE THEY DID OFFER SWEET SAVOUR TO ALL THEIR IDOLS.
PROPHESY AGAINST THEM, 3 AND SAY, YE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL, 14 SO WILL I STRETCH OUT MY HAND UPON THEM, AND MAKE THE
HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD GOD; THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD TO LAND DESOLATE, YEA, MORE DESOLATE THAN THE WILDERNESS
THE MOUNTAINS, AND TO THE HILLS, TO THE RIVERS, AND TO THE TOWARD DIBLATH, IN ALL THEIR HABITATIONS: AND THEY SHALL

I WILL DESTROY YOUR HIGH PLACES. 4 AND YOUR ALTARS SHALL BE
DESOLATE, AND YOUR IMAGES SHALL BE BROKEN: AND I WILL CAST
DOWN YOUR SLAIN MEN BEFORE YOUR IDOLS. 5 AND I WILL LAY THE
DEAD CARCASES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BEFORE THEIR IDOLS;
AND I WILL SCATTER YOUR BONES ROUND ABOUT YOUR ALTARS. 6
IN ALL YOUR DWELLINGPLACES THE CITIES SHALL BE LAID WASTE,
AND THE HIGH PLACES SHALL BE DESOLATE; THAT YOUR ALTARS
MAY BE LAID WASTE AND MADE DESOLATE, AND YOUR IDOLS MAY
BE BROKEN AND CEASE, AND YOUR IMAGES MAY BE CUT DOWN, AND
YOUR WORKS MAY BE ABOLISHED. 7 AND THE SLAIN SHALL FALL IN
THE MIDST OF YOU, AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD. 8
YET WILL I LEAVE A REMNANT, THAT YE MAY HAVE SOME THAT
SHALL ESCAPE THE SWORD AMONG THE NATIONS, WHEN YE SHALL
BE SCATTERED THROUGH THE COUNTRIES. 9 AND THEY THAT ESCAPE
OF YOU SHALL REMEMBER ME AMONG THE NATIONS WHITHER THEY
SHALL BE CARRIED CAPTIVES, BECAUSE I AM BROKEN WITH THEIR
WHORISH HEART, WHICH HATH DEPARTED FROM ME, AND WITH
THEIR EYES, WHICH GO A WHORING AFTER THEIR IDOLS: AND THEY
SHALL LOTHE THEMSELVES FOR THE EVILS WHICH THEY HAVE
COMMITTED IN ALL THEIR ABOMINATIONS. 10 AND THEY SHALL
KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, AND THAT I HAVE NOT SAID IN VAIN
THAT I WOULD DO THIS EVIL UNTO THEM. 11 THUS SAITH THE LORD
GOD; SMITE WITH THINE HAND, AND STAMP WITH THY FOOT, AND
SAY, ALAS FOR ALL THE EVIL ABOMINATIONS OF THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL! FOR THEY SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD, BY THE FAMINE, AND
BY THE PESTILENCE. 12 HE THAT IS FAR OFF SHALL DIE OF THE
PESTILENCE; AND HE THAT IS NEAR SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD;
AND HE THAT REMAINETH AND IS BESIEGED SHALL DIE BY THE
FAMINE: THUS WILL I ACCOMPLISH MY FURY UPON THEM. 13 THEN

WRATH IS UPON ALL THE MULTITUDE THEREOF. 15 THE SWORD IS

ALSO, THOU SON OF MAN, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD UNTO THE THEY THAT ESCAPE OF THEM SHALL ESCAPE, AND SHALL BE ON THE
LAND OF ISRAEL; AN END, THE END IS COME UPON THE FOUR MOUNTAINS LIKE DOVES OF THE VALLEYS, ALL OF THEM MOURNING,

NOW WILL I SHORTLY POUR OUT MY FURY UPON THEE, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SET IT FAR FROM THEM. 21 AND I WILL GIVE IT
ACCOMPLISH MINE ANGER UPON THEE: AND I WILL JUDGE THEE INTO THE HANDS OF THE STRANGERS FOR A PREY, AND TO THE

10 BEHOLD THE DAY, BEHOLD, IT IS COME: THE MORNING IS GONE WHEREFORE I WILL BRING THE WORST OF THE HEATHEN, AND THEY
FORTH; THE ROD HATH BLOSSOMED, PRIDE HATH BUDDED. 11 SHALL POSSESS THEIR HOUSES: I WILL ALSO MAKE THE POMP OF
VIOLENCE IS RISEN UP INTO A ROD OF WICKEDNESS: NONE OF THEM THE STRONG TO CEASE; AND THEIR HOLY PLACES SHALL BE DEFILED.
SHALL REMAIN, NOR OF THEIR MULTITUDE, NOR OF ANY OF THEIRS: 25 DESTRUCTION COMETH; AND THEY SHALL SEEK PEACE, AND
NEITHER SHALL THERE BE WAILING FOR THEM. 12 THE TIME IS THERE SHALL BE NONE. 26 MISCHIEF SHALL COME UPON MISCHIEF,

SAID HE UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, HAST THOU SEEN WHAT THE
CHAPTER 8 ANCIENTS OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL DO IN THE DARK, EVERY MAN
IN THE CHAMBERS OF HIS IMAGERY? FOR THEY SAY, THE LORD
AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE SIXTH YEAR, IN THE SIXTH MONTH, IN SEETH US NOT; THE LORD HATH FORSAKEN THE EARTH. 13 HE SAID
THE FIFTH DAY OF THE MONTH, AS I SAT IN MINE HOUSE, AND THE ALSO UNTO ME, TURN THEE YET AGAIN, AND THOU SHALT SEE
ELDERS OF JUDAH SAT BEFORE ME, THAT THE HAND OF THE LORD GREATER ABOMINATIONS THAT THEY DO. 14 THEN HE BROUGHT ME
GOD FELL THERE UPON ME. 2 THEN I BEHELD, AND LO A LIKENESS TO THE DOOR OF THE GATE OF THE LORD’S HOUSE WHICH WAS
AS THE APPEARANCE OF FIRE: FROM THE APPEARANCE OF HIS LOINS TOWARD THE NORTH; AND, BEHOLD, THERE SAT WOMEN WEEPING
EVEN DOWNWARD, FIRE; AND FROM HIS LOINS EVEN UPWARD, AS FOR TAMMUZ. 15 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, HAST THOU SEEN THIS,
THE APPEARANCE OF BRIGHTNESS, AS THE COLOUR OF AMBER. 3 O SON OF MAN? TURN THEE YET AGAIN, AND THOU SHALT SEE
AND HE PUT FORTH THE FORM OF AN HAND, AND TOOK ME BY A GREATER ABOMINATIONS THAN THESE. 16 AND HE BROUGHT ME
LOCK OF MINE HEAD; AND THE SPIRIT LIFTED ME UP BETWEEN THE INTO THE INNER COURT OF THE LORD’S HOUSE, AND, BEHOLD, AT
EARTH AND THE HEAVEN, AND BROUGHT ME IN THE VISIONS OF GOD THE DOOR OF THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, BETWEEN THE PORCH AND
TO JERUSALEM, TO THE DOOR OF THE INNER GATE THAT LOOKETH THE ALTAR, WERE ABOUT FIVE AND TWENTY MEN, WITH THEIR
TOWARD THE NORTH; WHERE WAS THE SEAT OF THE IMAGE OF BACKS TOWARD THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, AND THEIR FACES
JEALOUSY, WHICH PROVOKETH TO JEALOUSY. 4 AND, BEHOLD, THE TOWARD THE EAST; AND THEY WORSHIPPED THE SUN TOWARD THE
GLORY OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL WAS THERE, ACCORDING TO THE EAST. 17 THEN HE SAID UNTO ME, HAST THOU SEEN THIS, O SON OF
VISION THAT I SAW IN THE PLAIN. 5 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, SON MAN? IS IT A LIGHT THING TO THE HOUSE OF JUDAH THAT THEY
OF MAN, LIFT UP THINE EYES NOW THE WAY TOWARD THE NORTH. COMMIT THE ABOMINATIONS WHICH THEY COMMIT HERE? FOR
SO I LIFTED UP MINE EYES THE WAY TOWARD THE NORTH, AND THEY HAVE FILLED THE LAND WITH VIOLENCE, AND HAVE
BEHOLD NORTHWARD AT THE GATE OF THE ALTAR THIS IMAGE OF RETURNED TO PROVOKE ME TO ANGER: AND, LO, THEY PUT THE
JEALOUSY IN THE ENTRY. 6 HE SAID FURTHERMORE UNTO ME, SON BRANCH TO THEIR NOSE. 18 THEREFORE WILL I ALSO DEAL IN FURY:
OF MAN, SEEST THOU WHAT THEY DO? EVEN THE GREAT MINE EYE SHALL NOT SPARE, NEITHER WILL I HAVE PITY: AND
ABOMINATIONS THAT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL COMMITTETH HERE, THOUGH THEY CRY IN MINE EARS WITH A LOUD VOICE, YET WILL I
THAT I SHOULD GO FAR OFF FROM MY SANCTUARY? BUT TURN THEE NOT HEAR THEM.
YET AGAIN, AND THOU SHALT SEE GREATER ABOMINATIONS. 7 AND
HE BROUGHT ME TO THE DOOR OF THE COURT; AND WHEN I LOOKED,
BEHOLD A HOLE IN THE WALL. 8 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, SON OF
MAN, DIG NOW IN THE WALL: AND WHEN I HAD DIGGED IN THE
WALL, BEHOLD A DOOR. 9 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, GO IN, AND
BEHOLD THE WICKED ABOMINATIONS THAT THEY DO HERE. 10 SO I
WENT IN AND SAW; AND BEHOLD EVERY FORM OF CREEPING THINGS,
AND ABOMINABLE BEASTS, AND ALL THE IDOLS OF THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL, POURTRAYED UPON THE WALL ROUND ABOUT. 11 AND
THERE STOOD BEFORE THEM SEVENTY MEN OF THE ANCIENTS OF
THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AND IN THE MIDST OF THEM STOOD
JAAZANIAH THE SON OF SHAPHAN, WITH EVERY MAN HIS CENSER
IN HIS HAND; AND A THICK CLOUD OF INCENSE WENT UP. 12 THEN

1026
 EZEKIEL
REPORTED THE MATTER, SAYING, I HAVE DONE AS THOU HAST
CHAPTER 9 COMMANDED ME.

HE CRIED ALSO IN MINE EARS WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, CAUSE

THEM THAT HAVE CHARGE OVER THE CITY TO DRAW NEAR, EVEN
EVERY MAN WITH HIS DESTROYING WEAPON IN HIS HAND. 2 AND,
BEHOLD, SIX MEN CAME FROM THE WAY OF THE HIGHER GATE,
WHICH LIETH TOWARD THE NORTH, AND EVERY MAN A SLAUGHTER
WEAPON IN HIS HAND; AND ONE MAN AMONG THEM WAS CLOTHED
WITH LINEN, WITH A WRITER’S INKHORN BY HIS SIDE: AND THEY
WENT IN, AND STOOD BESIDE THE BRASEN ALTAR. 3 AND THE GLORY
OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL WAS GONE UP FROM THE CHERUB,
WHEREUPON HE WAS, TO THE THRESHOLD OF THE HOUSE. AND HE
CALLED TO THE MAN CLOTHED WITH LINEN, WHICH HAD THE
WRITER’S INKHORN BY HIS SIDE; 4 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO HIM,
GO THROUGH THE MIDST OF THE CITY, THROUGH THE MIDST OF
JERUSALEM, AND SET A MARK UPON THE FOREHEADS OF THE MEN
THAT SIGH AND THAT CRY FOR ALL THE ABOMINATIONS THAT BE
DONE IN THE MIDST THEREOF. 5 AND TO THE OTHERS HE SAID IN
MINE HEARING, GO YE AFTER HIM THROUGH THE CITY, AND SMITE:
LET NOT YOUR EYE SPARE, NEITHER HAVE YE PITY: 6 SLAY UTTERLY
OLD AND YOUNG, BOTH MAIDS, AND LITTLE CHILDREN, AND
WOMEN: BUT COME NOT NEAR ANY MAN UPON WHOM IS THE MARK;
AND BEGIN AT MY SANCTUARY. THEN THEY BEGAN AT THE ANCIENT
MEN WHICH WERE BEFORE THE HOUSE. 7 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM,
DEFILE THE HOUSE, AND FILL THE COURTS WITH THE SLAIN: GO YE
FORTH. AND THEY WENT FORTH, AND SLEW IN THE CITY. 8 AND IT
CAME TO PASS, WHILE THEY WERE SLAYING THEM, AND I WAS LEFT,
THAT I FELL UPON MY FACE, AND CRIED, AND SAID, AH LORD GOD!
WILT THOU DESTROY ALL THE RESIDUE OF ISRAEL IN THY POURING
OUT OF THY FURY UPON JERUSALEM? 9 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME,
THE INIQUITY OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH IS EXCEEDING
GREAT, AND THE LAND IS FULL OF BLOOD, AND THE CITY FULL OF
PERVERSENESS: FOR THEY SAY, THE LORD HATH FORSAKEN THE
EARTH, AND THE LORD SEETH NOT. 10 AND AS FOR ME ALSO, MINE
EYE SHALL NOT SPARE, NEITHER WILL I HAVE PITY, BUT I WILL
RECOMPENSE THEIR WAY UPON THEIR HEAD. 11 AND, BEHOLD, THE
MAN CLOTHED WITH LINEN, WHICH HAD THE INKHORN BY HIS SIDE,

 EZEKIEL
EVEN THE WHEELS THAT THEY FOUR HAD. 13 AS FOR THE WHEELS,
CHAPTER 10 IT WAS CRIED UNTO THEM IN MY HEARING, O WHEEL. 14 AND EVERY
ONE HAD FOUR FACES: THE FIRST FACE WAS THE FACE OF A CHERUB,
THEN I LOOKED, AND, BEHOLD, IN THE FIRMAMENT THAT WAS AND THE SECOND FACE WAS THE FACE OF A MAN, AND THE THIRD
ABOVE THE HEAD OF THE CHERUBIMS THERE APPEARED OVER THEM THE FACE OF A LION, AND THE FOURTH THE FACE OF AN EAGLE. 15
AS IT WERE A SAPPHIRE STONE, AS THE APPEARANCE OF THE AND THE CHERUBIMS WERE LIFTED UP. THIS IS THE LIVING
LIKENESS OF A THRONE. 2 AND HE SPAKE UNTO THE MAN CLOTHED CREATURE THAT I SAW BY THE RIVER OF CHEBAR. 16 AND WHEN
WITH LINEN, AND SAID, GO IN BETWEEN THE WHEELS, EVEN UNDER THE CHERUBIMS WENT, THE WHEELS WENT BY THEM: AND WHEN
THE CHERUB, AND FILL THINE HAND WITH COALS OF FIRE FROM THE CHERUBIMS LIFTED UP THEIR WINGS TO MOUNT UP FROM THE
BETWEEN THE CHERUBIMS, AND SCATTER THEM OVER THE CITY. EARTH, THE SAME WHEELS ALSO TURNED NOT FROM BESIDE THEM.
AND HE WENT IN IN MY SIGHT. 3 NOW THE CHERUBIMS STOOD ON 17 WHEN THEY STOOD, THESE STOOD; AND WHEN THEY WERE
THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOUSE, WHEN THE MAN WENT IN; AND THE LIFTED UP, THESE LIFTED UP THEMSELVES ALSO: FOR THE SPIRIT OF
CLOUD FILLED THE INNER COURT. 4 THEN THE GLORY OF THE LORD THE LIVING CREATURE WAS IN THEM. 18 THEN THE GLORY OF THE
WENT UP FROM THE CHERUB, AND STOOD OVER THE THRESHOLD LORD DEPARTED FROM OFF THE THRESHOLD OF THE HOUSE, AND
OF THE HOUSE; AND THE HOUSE WAS FILLED WITH THE CLOUD, AND STOOD OVER THE CHERUBIMS. 19 AND THE CHERUBIMS LIFTED UP
THE COURT WAS FULL OF THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LORD’S GLORY. THEIR WINGS, AND MOUNTED UP FROM THE EARTH IN MY SIGHT:
5 AND THE SOUND OF THE CHERUBIMS’ WINGS WAS HEARD EVEN WHEN THEY WENT OUT, THE WHEELS ALSO WERE BESIDE THEM,
TO THE OUTER COURT, AS THE VOICE OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD WHEN AND EVERY ONE STOOD AT THE DOOR OF THE EAST GATE OF THE
HE SPEAKETH. 6 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT WHEN HE HAD LORD’S HOUSE; AND THE GLORY OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL WAS OVER
COMMANDED THE MAN CLOTHED WITH LINEN, SAYING, TAKE FIRE THEM ABOVE. 20 THIS IS THE LIVING CREATURE THAT I SAW UNDER
FROM BETWEEN THE WHEELS, FROM BETWEEN THE CHERUBIMS; THE GOD OF ISRAEL BY THE RIVER OF CHEBAR; AND I KNEW THAT
THEN HE WENT IN, AND STOOD BESIDE THE WHEELS. 7 AND ONE THEY WERE THE CHERUBIMS. 21 EVERY ONE HAD FOUR FACES
CHERUB STRETCHED FORTH HIS HAND FROM BETWEEN THE APIECE, AND EVERY ONE FOUR WINGS; AND THE LIKENESS OF THE
CHERUBIMS UNTO THE FIRE THAT WAS BETWEEN THE CHERUBIMS, HANDS OF A MAN WAS UNDER THEIR WINGS. 22 AND THE LIKENESS
AND TOOK THEREOF, AND PUT IT INTO THE HANDS OF HIM THAT OF THEIR FACES WAS THE SAME FACES WHICH I SAW BY THE RIVER
WAS CLOTHED WITH LINEN: WHO TOOK IT, AND WENT OUT. 8 AND OF CHEBAR, THEIR APPEARANCES AND THEMSELVES: THEY WENT
THERE APPEARED IN THE CHERUBIMS THE FORM OF A MAN’S HAND EVERY ONE STRAIGHT FORWARD.
UNDER THEIR WINGS. 9 AND WHEN I LOOKED, BEHOLD THE FOUR
WHEELS BY THE CHERUBIMS, ONE WHEEL BY ONE CHERUB, AND
ANOTHER WHEEL BY ANOTHER CHERUB: AND THE APPEARANCE OF
THE WHEELS WAS AS THE COLOUR OF A BERYL STONE. 10 AND AS
FOR THEIR APPEARANCES, THEY FOUR HAD ONE LIKENESS, AS IF A
WHEEL HAD BEEN IN THE MIDST OF A WHEEL. 11 WHEN THEY WENT,
THEY WENT UPON THEIR FOUR SIDES; THEY TURNED NOT AS THEY
WENT, BUT TO THE PLACE WHITHER THE HEAD LOOKED THEY
FOLLOWED IT; THEY TURNED NOT AS THEY WENT. 12 AND THEIR
WHOLE BODY, AND THEIR BACKS, AND THEIR HANDS, AND THEIR
WINGS, AND THE WHEELS, WERE FULL OF EYES ROUND ABOUT,

AND WE BE THE FLESH. 4 THEREFORE PROPHESY AGAINST THEM, THEY SHALL TAKE AWAY ALL THE DETESTABLE THINGS THEREOF
PROPHESY, O SON OF MAN. 5 AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD FELL AND ALL THE ABOMINATIONS THEREOF FROM THENCE. 19 AND I
UPON ME, AND SAID UNTO ME, SPEAK; THUS SAITH THE LORD; THUS WILL GIVE THEM ONE HEART, AND I WILL PUT A NEW SPIRIT WITHIN
HAVE YE SAID, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL: FOR I KNOW THE THINGS THAT YOU; AND I WILL TAKE THE STONY HEART OUT OF THEIR FLESH, AND
COME INTO YOUR MIND, EVERY ONE OF THEM. 6 YE HAVE WILL GIVE THEM AN HEART OF FLESH: 20 THAT THEY MAY WALK IN
MULTIPLIED YOUR SLAIN IN THIS CITY, AND YE HAVE FILLED THE MY STATUTES, AND KEEP MINE ORDINANCES, AND DO THEM: AND
STREETS THEREOF WITH THE SLAIN. 7 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD. 21 BUT AS
LORD GOD; YOUR SLAIN WHOM YE HAVE LAID IN THE MIDST OF IT, FOR THEM WHOSE HEART WALKETH AFTER THE HEART OF THEIR

PELATIAH THE SON OF BENAIAH DIED. THEN FELL I DOWN UPON MY
FACE, AND CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, AND SAID, AH LORD GOD!
WILT THOU MAKE A FULL END OF THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL? 14

AM THE LORD, WHEN I SHALL SCATTER THEM AMONG THE NATIONS,
THE WORD OF THE LORD ALSO CAME UNTO ME, SAYING, 2 SON OF AND DISPERSE THEM IN THE COUNTRIES. 16 BUT I WILL LEAVE A
MAN, THOU DWELLEST IN THE MIDST OF A REBELLIOUS HOUSE, FEW MEN OF THEM FROM THE SWORD, FROM THE FAMINE, AND
WHICH HAVE EYES TO SEE, AND SEE NOT; THEY HAVE EARS TO HEAR, FROM THE PESTILENCE; THAT THEY MAY DECLARE ALL THEIR

DOWN AMONG LIONS, SHE NOURISHED HER WHELPS AMONG
YOUNG LIONS. 3 AND SHE BROUGHT UP ONE OF HER WHELPS: IT
BECAME A YOUNG LION, AND IT LEARNED TO CATCH THE PREY; IT
DEVOURED MEN. 4 THE NATIONS ALSO HEARD OF HIM; HE WAS
TAKEN IN THEIR PIT, AND THEY BROUGHT HIM WITH CHAINS UNTO
THE LAND OF EGYPT. 5 NOW WHEN SHE SAW THAT SHE HAD WAITED,
AND HER HOPE WAS LOST, THEN SHE TOOK ANOTHER OF HER
WHELPS, AND MADE HIM A YOUNG LION. 6 AND HE WENT UP AND
DOWN AMONG THE LIONS, HE BECAME A YOUNG LION, AND
LEARNED TO CATCH THE PREY, AND DEVOURED MEN. 7 AND HE
KNEW THEIR DESOLATE PALACES, AND HE LAID WASTE THEIR CITIES;
AND THE LAND WAS DESOLATE, AND THE FULNESS THEREOF, BY THE
NOISE OF HIS ROARING. 8 THEN THE NATIONS SET AGAINST HIM ON
EVERY SIDE FROM THE PROVINCES, AND SPREAD THEIR NET OVER
HIM: HE WAS TAKEN IN THEIR PIT. 9 AND THEY PUT HIM IN WARD
IN CHAINS, AND BROUGHT HIM TO THE KING OF BABYLON: THEY
BROUGHT HIM INTO HOLDS, THAT HIS VOICE SHOULD NO MORE BE
HEARD UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL. 10 THY MOTHER IS LIKE
A VINE IN THY BLOOD, PLANTED BY THE WATERS: SHE WAS
FRUITFUL AND FULL OF BRANCHES BY REASON OF MANY WATERS.

BARE RULE, AND HER STATURE WAS EXALTED AMONG THE THICK
BRANCHES, AND SHE APPEARED IN HER HEIGHT WITH THE
MULTITUDE OF HER BRANCHES. 12 BUT SHE WAS PLUCKED UP IN
FURY, SHE WAS CAST DOWN TO THE GROUND, AND THE EAST WIND
DRIED UP HER FRUIT: HER STRONG RODS WERE BROKEN AND
WITHERED; THE FIRE CONSUMED THEM. 13 AND NOW SHE IS
PLANTED IN THE WILDERNESS, IN A DRY AND THIRSTY GROUND. 14
AND FIRE IS GONE OUT OF A ROD OF HER BRANCHES, WHICH HATH
DEVOURED HER FRUIT, SO THAT SHE HATH NO STRONG ROD TO BE

WERE OF ONE MEASURE. 23 AND THERE WAS A ROW OF BUILDING
ROUND ABOUT IN THEM, ROUND ABOUT THEM FOUR, AND IT WAS

ME THROUGH THE WATERS; THE WATERS WERE TO THE KNEES. OF HETHLON, AS MEN GO TO ZEDAD; 16 HAMATH, BEROTHAH,
AGAIN HE MEASURED A THOUSAND, AND BROUGHT ME THROUGH; SIBRAIM, WHICH IS BETWEEN THE BORDER OF DAMASCUS AND THE
THE WATERS WERE TO THE LOINS. 5 AFTERWARD HE MEASURED A BORDER OF HAMATH; HAZAR-HATTICON, WHICH IS BY THE COAST
THOUSAND; AND IT WAS A RIVER THAT I COULD NOT PASS OVER: OF HAURAN. 17 AND THE BORDER FROM THE SEA SHALL BE HAZAR-
FOR THE WATERS WERE RISEN, WATERS TO SWIM IN, A RIVER THAT ENAN, THE BORDER OF DAMASCUS, AND THE NORTH NORTHWARD,
COULD NOT BE PASSED OVER. 6 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF AND THE BORDER OF HAMATH. AND THIS IS THE NORTH SIDE. 18
MAN, HAST THOU SEEN THIS? THEN HE BROUGHT ME, AND CAUSED AND THE EAST SIDE YE SHALL MEASURE FROM HAURAN, AND FROM
ME TO RETURN TO THE BRINK OF THE RIVER. 7 NOW WHEN I HAD DAMASCUS, AND FROM GILEAD, AND FROM THE LAND OF ISRAEL BY

SERVANTS, I BESEECH THEE, TEN DAYS; AND LET THEM GIVE US
CHAPTER 1 PULSE TO EAT, AND WATER TO DRINK. 13 THEN LET OUR
COUNTENANCES BE LOOKED UPON BEFORE THEE, AND THE
IN THE THIRD YEAR OF THE REIGN OF JEHOIAKIM KING OF JUDAH COUNTENANCE OF THE CHILDREN THAT EAT OF THE PORTION OF
CAME NEBUCHADNEZZAR KING OF BABYLON UNTO JERUSALEM, THE KING’S MEAT: AND AS THOU SEEST, DEAL WITH THY SERVANTS.
AND BESIEGED IT. 2 AND THE LORD GAVE JEHOIAKIM KING OF JUDAH 14 SO HE CONSENTED TO THEM IN THIS MATTER, AND PROVED THEM
INTO HIS HAND, WITH PART OF THE VESSELS OF THE HOUSE OF GOD: TEN DAYS. 15 AND AT THE END OF TEN DAYS THEIR COUNTENANCES
WHICH HE CARRIED INTO THE LAND OF SHINAR TO THE HOUSE OF APPEARED FAIRER AND FATTER IN FLESH THAN ALL THE CHILDREN
HIS GOD; AND HE BROUGHT THE VESSELS INTO THE TREASURE WHICH DID EAT THE PORTION OF THE KING’S MEAT. 16 THUS
HOUSE OF HIS GOD. 3 AND THE KING SPAKE UNTO ASHPENAZ THE MELZAR TOOK AWAY THE PORTION OF THEIR MEAT, AND THE WINE
MASTER OF HIS EUNUCHS, THAT HE SHOULD BRING CERTAIN OF THE THAT THEY SHOULD DRINK; AND GAVE THEM PULSE. 17 AS FOR
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND OF THE KING’S SEED, AND OF THE THESE FOUR CHILDREN, GOD GAVE THEM KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL
PRINCES; 4 CHILDREN IN WHOM WAS NO BLEMISH, BUT WELL IN ALL LEARNING AND WISDOM: AND DANIEL HAD UNDERSTANDING
FAVOURED, AND SKILFUL IN ALL WISDOM, AND CUNNING IN IN ALL VISIONS AND DREAMS. 18 NOW AT THE END OF THE DAYS
KNOWLEDGE, AND UNDERSTANDING SCIENCE, AND SUCH AS HAD THAT THE KING HAD SAID HE SHOULD BRING THEM IN, THEN THE
ABILITY IN THEM TO STAND IN THE KING’S PALACE, AND WHOM PRINCE OF THE EUNUCHS BROUGHT THEM IN BEFORE
THEY MIGHT TEACH THE LEARNING AND THE TONGUE OF THE NEBUCHADNEZZAR. 19 AND THE KING COMMUNED WITH THEM;
CHALDEANS. 5 AND THE KING APPOINTED THEM A DAILY PROVISION AND AMONG THEM ALL WAS FOUND NONE LIKE DANIEL, HANANIAH,
OF THE KING’S MEAT, AND OF THE WINE WHICH HE DRANK: SO MISHAEL, AND AZARIAH: THEREFORE STOOD THEY BEFORE THE KING.
NOURISHING THEM THREE YEARS, THAT AT THE END THEREOF THEY 20 AND IN ALL MATTERS OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING, THAT
MIGHT STAND BEFORE THE KING. 6 NOW AMONG THESE WERE OF THE KING INQUIRED OF THEM, HE FOUND THEM TEN TIMES BETTER
THE CHILDREN OF JUDAH, DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AND THAN ALL THE MAGICIANS AND ASTROLOGERS THAT WERE IN ALL
AZARIAH: 7 UNTO WHOM THE PRINCE OF THE EUNUCHS GAVE HIS REALM. 21 AND DANIEL CONTINUED EVEN UNTO THE FIRST YEAR
NAMES: FOR HE GAVE UNTO DANIEL THE NAME OF BELTESHAZZAR; OF KING CYRUS.
AND TO HANANIAH, OF SHADRACH; AND TO MISHAEL, OF MESHACH;
AND TO AZARIAH, OF ABED-NEGO. 8 BUT DANIEL PURPOSED IN HIS
HEART THAT HE WOULD NOT DEFILE HIMSELF WITH THE PORTION
OF THE KING’S MEAT, NOR WITH THE WINE WHICH HE DRANK:
THEREFORE HE REQUESTED OF THE PRINCE OF THE EUNUCHS THAT
HE MIGHT NOT DEFILE HIMSELF. 9 NOW GOD HAD BROUGHT DANIEL
INTO FAVOUR AND TENDER LOVE WITH THE PRINCE OF THE
EUNUCHS. 10 AND THE PRINCE OF THE EUNUCHS SAID UNTO DANIEL,
I FEAR MY LORD THE KING, WHO HATH APPOINTED YOUR MEAT AND
YOUR DRINK: FOR WHY SHOULD HE SEE YOUR FACES WORSE LIKING
THAN THE CHILDREN WHICH ARE OF YOUR SORT? THEN SHALL YE
MAKE ME ENDANGER MY HEAD TO THE KING. 11 THEN SAID DANIEL
TO MELZAR, WHOM THE PRINCE OF THE EUNUCHS HAD SET OVER
DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AND AZARIAH, 12 PROVE THY

BABYLON. 13 AND THE DECREE WENT FORTH THAT THE WISE MEN
CHAPTER 2 SHOULD BE SLAIN; AND THEY SOUGHT DANIEL AND HIS FELLOWS TO
BE SLAIN. 14 THEN DANIEL ANSWERED WITH COUNSEL AND
AND IN THE SECOND YEAR OF THE REIGN OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR WISDOM TO ARIOCH THE CAPTAIN OF THE KING’S GUARD, WHICH
NEBUCHADNEZZAR DREAMED DREAMS, WHEREWITH HIS SPIRIT WAS GONE FORTH TO SLAY THE WISE MEN OF BABYLON: 15 HE
WAS TROUBLED, AND HIS SLEEP BRAKE FROM HIM. 2 THEN THE ANSWERED AND SAID TO ARIOCH THE KING’S CAPTAIN, WHY IS THE
KING COMMANDED TO CALL THE MAGICIANS, AND THE DECREE SO HASTY FROM THE KING? THEN ARIOCH MADE THE THING
ASTROLOGERS, AND THE SORCERERS, AND THE CHALDEANS, FOR TO KNOWN TO DANIEL. 16 THEN DANIEL WENT IN, AND DESIRED OF
SHEW THE KING HIS DREAMS. SO THEY CAME AND STOOD BEFORE THE KING THAT HE WOULD GIVE HIM TIME, AND THAT HE WOULD
THE KING. 3 AND THE KING SAID UNTO THEM, I HAVE DREAMED A SHEW THE KING THE INTERPRETATION. 17 THEN DANIEL WENT TO
DREAM, AND MY SPIRIT WAS TROUBLED TO KNOW THE DREAM. 4 HIS HOUSE, AND MADE THE THING KNOWN TO HANANIAH, MISHAEL,
THEN SPAKE THE CHALDEANS TO THE KING IN SYRIACK, O KING, AND AZARIAH, HIS COMPANIONS: 18 THAT THEY WOULD DESIRE
LIVE FOR EVER: TELL THY SERVANTS THE DREAM, AND WE WILL MERCIES OF THE GOD OF HEAVEN CONCERNING THIS SECRET; THAT
SHEW THE INTERPRETATION. 5 THE KING ANSWERED AND SAID TO DANIEL AND HIS FELLOWS SHOULD NOT PERISH WITH THE REST OF
THE CHALDEANS, THE THING IS GONE FROM ME: IF YE WILL NOT THE WISE MEN OF BABYLON. 19 THEN WAS THE SECRET REVEALED
MAKE KNOWN UNTO ME THE DREAM, WITH THE INTERPRETATION UNTO DANIEL IN A NIGHT VISION. THEN DANIEL BLESSED THE GOD
THEREOF, YE SHALL BE CUT IN PIECES, AND YOUR HOUSES SHALL OF HEAVEN. 20 DANIEL ANSWERED AND SAID, BLESSED BE THE
BE MADE A DUNGHILL. 6 BUT IF YE SHEW THE DREAM, AND THE NAME OF GOD FOR EVER AND EVER: FOR WISDOM AND MIGHT ARE
INTERPRETATION THEREOF, YE SHALL RECEIVE OF ME GIFTS AND HIS: 21 AND HE CHANGETH THE TIMES AND THE SEASONS: HE
REWARDS AND GREAT HONOUR: THEREFORE SHEW ME THE DREAM, REMOVETH KINGS, AND SETTETH UP KINGS: HE GIVETH WISDOM
AND THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF. 7 THEY ANSWERED AGAIN AND UNTO THE WISE, AND KNOWLEDGE TO THEM THAT KNOW
SAID, LET THE KING TELL HIS SERVANTS THE DREAM, AND WE WILL UNDERSTANDING: 22 HE REVEALETH THE DEEP AND SECRET THINGS:
SHEW THE INTERPRETATION OF IT. 8 THE KING ANSWERED AND SAID, HE KNOWETH WHAT IS IN THE DARKNESS, AND THE LIGHT
I KNOW OF CERTAINTY THAT YE WOULD GAIN THE TIME, BECAUSE DWELLETH WITH HIM. 23 I THANK THEE, AND PRAISE THEE, O THOU
YE SEE THE THING IS GONE FROM ME. 9 BUT IF YE WILL NOT MAKE GOD OF MY FATHERS, WHO HAST GIVEN ME WISDOM AND MIGHT,
KNOWN UNTO ME THE DREAM, THERE IS BUT ONE DECREE FOR YOU: AND HAST MADE KNOWN UNTO ME NOW WHAT WE DESIRED OF
FOR YE HAVE PREPARED LYING AND CORRUPT WORDS TO SPEAK THEE: FOR THOU HAST NOW MADE KNOWN UNTO US THE KING’S
BEFORE ME, TILL THE TIME BE CHANGED: THEREFORE TELL ME THE MATTER. 24 THEREFORE DANIEL WENT IN UNTO ARIOCH, WHOM
DREAM, AND I SHALL KNOW THAT YE CAN SHEW ME THE THE KING HAD ORDAINED TO DESTROY THE WISE MEN OF BABYLON:
INTERPRETATION THEREOF. 10 THE CHALDEANS ANSWERED BEFORE HE WENT AND SAID THUS UNTO HIM; DESTROY NOT THE WISE MEN
THE KING, AND SAID, THERE IS NOT A MAN UPON THE EARTH THAT OF BABYLON: BRING ME IN BEFORE THE KING, AND I WILL SHEW
CAN SHEW THE KING’S MATTER: THEREFORE THERE IS NO KING, UNTO THE KING THE INTERPRETATION. 25 THEN ARIOCH BROUGHT
LORD, NOR RULER, THAT ASKED SUCH THINGS AT ANY MAGICIAN, IN DANIEL BEFORE THE KING IN HASTE, AND SAID THUS UNTO HIM,
OR ASTROLOGER, OR CHALDEAN. 11 AND IT IS A RARE THING THAT I HAVE FOUND A MAN OF THE CAPTIVES OF JUDAH, THAT WILL MAKE
THE KING REQUIRETH, AND THERE IS NONE OTHER THAT CAN SHEW KNOWN UNTO THE KING THE INTERPRETATION. 26 THE KING
IT BEFORE THE KING, EXCEPT THE GODS, WHOSE DWELLING IS NOT ANSWERED AND SAID TO DANIEL, WHOSE NAME WAS
WITH FLESH. 12 FOR THIS CAUSE THE KING WAS ANGRY AND VERY BELTESHAZZAR, ART THOU ABLE TO MAKE KNOWN UNTO ME THE
FURIOUS, AND COMMANDED TO DESTROY ALL THE WISE MEN OF DREAM WHICH I HAVE SEEN, AND THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF?

27 DANIEL ANSWERED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE KING, AND SAID, FORASMUCH AS IRON BREAKETH IN PIECES AND SUBDUETH ALL
THE SECRET WHICH THE KING HATH DEMANDED CANNOT THE WISE THINGS: AND AS IRON THAT BREAKETH ALL THESE, SHALL IT BREAK
MEN, THE ASTROLOGERS, THE MAGICIANS, THE SOOTHSAYERS, IN PIECES AND BRUISE. 41 AND WHEREAS THOU SAWEST THE FEET
SHEW UNTO THE KING; 28 BUT THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN THAT AND TOES, PART OF POTTERS’ CLAY, AND PART OF IRON, THE
REVEALETH SECRETS, AND MAKETH KNOWN TO THE KING KINGDOM SHALL BE DIVIDED; BUT THERE SHALL BE IN IT OF THE
NEBUCHADNEZZAR WHAT SHALL BE IN THE LATTER DAYS. THY STRENGTH OF THE IRON, FORASMUCH AS THOU SAWEST THE IRON
DREAM, AND THE VISIONS OF THY HEAD UPON THY BED, ARE THESE; MIXED WITH MIRY CLAY. 42 AND AS THE TOES OF THE FEET WERE

THAT REVEALETH SECRETS MAKETH KNOWN TO THEE WHAT SHALL SAWEST IRON MIXED WITH MIRY CLAY, THEY SHALL MINGLE
COME TO PASS. 30 BUT AS FOR ME, THIS SECRET IS NOT REVEALED THEMSELVES WITH THE SEED OF MEN: BUT THEY SHALL NOT CLEAVE
TO ME FOR ANY WISDOM THAT I HAVE MORE THAN ANY LIVING, BUT ONE TO ANOTHER, EVEN AS IRON IS NOT MIXED WITH CLAY. 44 AND
FOR THEIR SAKES THAT SHALL MAKE KNOWN THE INTERPRETATION IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS SHALL THE GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A
TO THE KING, AND THAT THOU MIGHTEST KNOW THE THOUGHTS OF KINGDOM, WHICH SHALL NEVER BE DESTROYED: AND THE KINGDOM

IMAGE. THIS GREAT IMAGE, WHOSE BRIGHTNESS WAS EXCELLENT, PIECES AND CONSUME ALL THESE KINGDOMS, AND IT SHALL STAND
STOOD BEFORE THEE; AND THE FORM THEREOF WAS TERRIBLE. 32 FOR EVER. 45 FORASMUCH AS THOU SAWEST THAT THE STONE WAS
THIS IMAGE’S HEAD WAS OF FINE GOLD, HIS BREAST AND HIS ARMS CUT OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN WITHOUT HANDS, AND THAT IT BRAKE
OF SILVER, HIS BELLY AND HIS THIGHS OF BRASS, 33 HIS LEGS OF IN PIECES THE IRON, THE BRASS, THE CLAY, THE SILVER, AND THE
IRON, HIS FEET PART OF IRON AND PART OF CLAY. 34 THOU SAWEST GOLD; THE GREAT GOD HATH MADE KNOWN TO THE KING WHAT
TILL THAT A STONE WAS CUT OUT WITHOUT HANDS, WHICH SMOTE SHALL COME TO PASS HEREAFTER: AND THE DREAM IS CERTAIN,
THE IMAGE UPON HIS FEET THAT WERE OF IRON AND CLAY, AND AND THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF SURE. 46 THEN THE KING
BRAKE THEM TO PIECES. 35 THEN WAS THE IRON, THE CLAY, THE NEBUCHADNEZZAR FELL UPON HIS FACE, AND WORSHIPPED DANIEL,
BRASS, THE SILVER, AND THE GOLD, BROKEN TO PIECES TOGETHER, AND COMMANDED THAT THEY SHOULD OFFER AN OBLATION AND
AND BECAME LIKE THE CHAFF OF THE SUMMER THRESHINGFLOORS; SWEET ODOURS UNTO HIM. 47 THE KING ANSWERED UNTO DANIEL,
AND THE WIND CARRIED THEM AWAY, THAT NO PLACE WAS FOUND AND SAID, OF A TRUTH IT IS, THAT YOUR GOD IS A GOD OF GODS,
FOR THEM: AND THE STONE THAT SMOTE THE IMAGE BECAME A AND A LORD OF KINGS, AND A REVEALER OF SECRETS, SEEING THOU
GREAT MOUNTAIN, AND FILLED THE WHOLE EARTH. 36 THIS IS THE COULDEST REVEAL THIS SECRET. 48 THEN THE KING MADE DANIEL

BABYLON. 2 THEN NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING SENT TO GATHER KING. 14 NEBUCHADNEZZAR SPAKE AND SAID UNTO THEM, IS IT
TOGETHER THE PRINCES, THE GOVERNORS, AND THE CAPTAINS, THE TRUE, O SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO, DO NOT YE SERVE
JUDGES, THE TREASURERS, THE COUNSELLERS, THE SHERIFFS, AND MY GODS, NOR WORSHIP THE GOLDEN IMAGE WHICH I HAVE SET UP?
ALL THE RULERS OF THE PROVINCES, TO COME TO THE DEDICATION 15 NOW IF YE BE READY THAT AT WHAT TIME YE HEAR THE SOUND
OF THE IMAGE WHICH NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING HAD SET UP. 3 OF THE CORNET, FLUTE, HARP, SACKBUT, PSALTERY, AND DULCIMER,
THEN THE PRINCES, THE GOVERNORS, AND CAPTAINS, THE JUDGES, AND ALL KINDS OF MUSICK, YE FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP THE
THE TREASURERS, THE COUNSELLERS, THE SHERIFFS, AND ALL THE IMAGE WHICH I HAVE MADE; WELL: BUT IF YE WORSHIP NOT, YE
RULERS OF THE PROVINCES, WERE GATHERED TOGETHER UNTO THE SHALL BE CAST THE SAME HOUR INTO THE MIDST OF A BURNING
DEDICATION OF THE IMAGE THAT NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING HAD FIERY FURNACE; AND WHO IS THAT GOD THAT SHALL DELIVER YOU
SET UP; AND THEY STOOD BEFORE THE IMAGE THAT OUT OF MY HANDS? 16 SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO,
NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD SET UP. 4 THEN AN HERALD CRIED ALOUD, ANSWERED AND SAID TO THE KING, O NEBUCHADNEZZAR, WE ARE
TO YOU IT IS COMMANDED, O PEOPLE, NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES, NOT CAREFUL TO ANSWER THEE IN THIS MATTER. 17 IF IT BE SO,
5 THAT AT WHAT TIME YE HEAR THE SOUND OF THE CORNET, FLUTE, OUR GOD WHOM WE SERVE IS ABLE TO DELIVER US FROM THE
HARP, SACKBUT, PSALTERY, DULCIMER, AND ALL KINDS OF MUSICK, BURNING FIERY FURNACE, AND HE WILL DELIVER US OUT OF THINE
YE FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP THE GOLDEN IMAGE THAT HAND, O KING. 18 BUT IF NOT, BE IT KNOWN UNTO THEE, O KING,
NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING HATH SET UP: 6 AND WHOSO FALLETH THAT WE WILL NOT SERVE THY GODS, NOR WORSHIP THE GOLDEN
NOT DOWN AND WORSHIPPETH SHALL THE SAME HOUR BE CAST IMAGE WHICH THOU HAST SET UP. 19 THEN WAS NEBUCHADNEZZAR
INTO THE MIDST OF A BURNING FIERY FURNACE. 7 THEREFORE AT FULL OF FURY, AND THE FORM OF HIS VISAGE WAS CHANGED
THAT TIME, WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE HEARD THE SOUND OF THE AGAINST SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO: THEREFORE HE
CORNET, FLUTE, HARP, SACKBUT, PSALTERY, AND ALL KINDS OF SPAKE, AND COMMANDED THAT THEY SHOULD HEAT THE FURNACE
MUSICK, ALL THE PEOPLE, THE NATIONS, AND THE LANGUAGES, ONE SEVEN TIMES MORE THAN IT WAS WONT TO BE HEATED. 20 AND
FELL DOWN AND WORSHIPPED THE GOLDEN IMAGE THAT HE COMMANDED THE MOST MIGHTY MEN THAT WERE IN HIS ARMY
NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING HAD SET UP. 8 WHEREFORE AT THAT TO BIND SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO, AND TO CAST
TIME CERTAIN CHALDEANS CAME NEAR, AND ACCUSED THE JEWS. 9 THEM INTO THE BURNING FIERY FURNACE. 21 THEN THESE MEN
THEY SPAKE AND SAID TO THE KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR, O KING, WERE BOUND IN THEIR COATS, THEIR HOSEN, AND THEIR HATS, AND
LIVE FOR EVER. 10 THOU, O KING, HAST MADE A DECREE, THAT THEIR OTHER GARMENTS, AND WERE CAST INTO THE MIDST OF THE
EVERY MAN THAT SHALL HEAR THE SOUND OF THE CORNET, FLUTE, BURNING FIERY FURNACE. 22 THEREFORE BECAUSE THE KING’S
HARP, SACKBUT, PSALTERY, AND DULCIMER, AND ALL KINDS OF COMMANDMENT WAS URGENT, AND THE FURNACE EXCEEDING HOT,
MUSICK, SHALL FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP THE GOLDEN IMAGE: 11 THE FLAME OF THE FIRE SLEW THOSE MEN THAT TOOK UP
AND WHOSO FALLETH NOT DOWN AND WORSHIPPETH, THAT HE SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO. 23 AND THESE THREE MEN,
SHOULD BE CAST INTO THE MIDST OF A BURNING FIERY FURNACE. SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO, FELL DOWN BOUND INTO
12 THERE ARE CERTAIN JEWS WHOM THOU HAST SET OVER THE THE MIDST OF THE BURNING FIERY FURNACE. 24 THEN

1095
 DANIEL
NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING WAS ASTONIED, AND ROSE UP IN
HASTE, AND SPAKE, AND SAID UNTO HIS COUNSELLERS, DID NOT WE
CAST THREE MEN BOUND INTO THE MIDST OF THE FIRE? THEY
ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THE KING, TRUE, O KING. 25 HE
ANSWERED AND SAID, LO, I SEE FOUR MEN LOOSE, WALKING IN THE
MIDST OF THE FIRE, AND THEY HAVE NO HURT; AND THE FORM OF
THE FOURTH IS LIKE THE SON OF GOD. 26 THEN NEBUCHADNEZZAR
CAME NEAR TO THE MOUTH OF THE BURNING FIERY FURNACE, AND
SPAKE, AND SAID, SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO, YE
SERVANTS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, COME FORTH, AND COME
HITHER. THEN SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO, CAME
FORTH OF THE MIDST OF THE FIRE. 27 AND THE PRINCES,
GOVERNORS, AND CAPTAINS, AND THE KING’S COUNSELLERS, BEING
GATHERED TOGETHER, SAW THESE MEN, UPON WHOSE BODIES THE
FIRE HAD NO POWER, NOR WAS AN HAIR OF THEIR HEAD SINGED,
NEITHER WERE THEIR COATS CHANGED, NOR THE SMELL OF FIRE
HAD PASSED ON THEM. 28 THEN NEBUCHADNEZZAR SPAKE, AND
SAID, BLESSED BE THE GOD OF SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABED-
NEGO, WHO HATH SENT HIS ANGEL, AND DELIVERED HIS SERVANTS
THAT TRUSTED IN HIM, AND HAVE CHANGED THE KING’S WORD,
AND YIELDED THEIR BODIES, THAT THEY MIGHT NOT SERVE NOR
WORSHIP ANY GOD, EXCEPT THEIR OWN GOD. 29 THEREFORE I MAKE
A DECREE, THAT EVERY PEOPLE, NATION, AND LANGUAGE, WHICH
SPEAK ANY THING AMISS AGAINST THE GOD OF SHADRACH,
MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO, SHALL BE CUT IN PIECES, AND THEIR
HOUSES SHALL BE MADE A DUNGHILL: BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER
GOD THAT CAN DELIVER AFTER THIS SORT. 30 THEN THE KING
PROMOTED SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO, IN THE
PROVINCE OF BABYLON.

1096
 DANIEL
SCATTER HIS FRUIT: LET THE BEASTS GET AWAY FROM UNDER IT,
CHAPTER 4 AND THE FOWLS FROM HIS BRANCHES: 15 NEVERTHELESS LEAVE
THE STUMP OF HIS ROOTS IN THE EARTH, EVEN WITH A BAND OF
NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING, UNTO ALL PEOPLE, NATIONS, AND IRON AND BRASS, IN THE TENDER GRASS OF THE FIELD; AND LET IT
LANGUAGES, THAT DWELL IN ALL THE EARTH; PEACE BE MULTIPLIED BE WET WITH THE DEW OF HEAVEN, AND LET HIS PORTION BE WITH
UNTO YOU. 2 I THOUGHT IT GOOD TO SHEW THE SIGNS AND THE BEASTS IN THE GRASS OF THE EARTH: 16 LET HIS HEART BE
WONDERS THAT THE HIGH GOD HATH WROUGHT TOWARD ME. 3 CHANGED FROM MAN’S, AND LET A BEAST’S HEART BE GIVEN UNTO
HOW GREAT ARE HIS SIGNS! AND HOW MIGHTY ARE HIS WONDERS! HIM; AND LET SEVEN TIMES PASS OVER HIM. 17 THIS MATTER IS BY
HIS KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND HIS DOMINION IS THE DECREE OF THE WATCHERS, AND THE DEMAND BY THE WORD
FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. 4 I NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS AT OF THE HOLY ONES: TO THE INTENT THAT THE LIVING MAY KNOW
REST IN MINE HOUSE, AND FLOURISHING IN MY PALACE: 5 I SAW A THAT THE MOST HIGH RULETH IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN, AND
DREAM WHICH MADE ME AFRAID, AND THE THOUGHTS UPON MY GIVETH IT TO WHOMSOEVER HE WILL, AND SETTETH UP OVER IT THE
BED AND THE VISIONS OF MY HEAD TROUBLED ME. 6 THEREFORE BASEST OF MEN. 18 THIS DREAM I KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAVE
MADE I A DECREE TO BRING IN ALL THE WISE MEN OF BABYLON SEEN. NOW THOU, O BELTESHAZZAR, DECLARE THE
BEFORE ME, THAT THEY MIGHT MAKE KNOWN UNTO ME THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF, FORASMUCH AS ALL THE WISE MEN OF
INTERPRETATION OF THE DREAM. 7 THEN CAME IN THE MAGICIANS, MY KINGDOM ARE NOT ABLE TO MAKE KNOWN UNTO ME THE
THE ASTROLOGERS, THE CHALDEANS, AND THE SOOTHSAYERS: AND INTERPRETATION: BUT THOU ART ABLE; FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE
I TOLD THE DREAM BEFORE THEM; BUT THEY DID NOT MAKE KNOWN HOLY GODS IS IN THEE. 19 THEN DANIEL, WHOSE NAME WAS
UNTO ME THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF. 8 BUT AT THE LAST BELTESHAZZAR, WAS ASTONIED FOR ONE HOUR, AND HIS
DANIEL CAME IN BEFORE ME, WHOSE NAME WAS BELTESHAZZAR, THOUGHTS TROUBLED HIM. THE KING SPAKE, AND SAID,
ACCORDING TO THE NAME OF MY GOD, AND IN WHOM IS THE SPIRIT BELTESHAZZAR, LET NOT THE DREAM, OR THE INTERPRETATION
OF THE HOLY GODS: AND BEFORE HIM I TOLD THE DREAM, SAYING, THEREOF, TROUBLE THEE. BELTESHAZZAR ANSWERED AND SAID,
9 O BELTESHAZZAR, MASTER OF THE MAGICIANS, BECAUSE I KNOW MY LORD, THE DREAM BE TO THEM THAT HATE THEE, AND THE
THAT THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLY GODS IS IN THEE, AND NO SECRET INTERPRETATION THEREOF TO THINE ENEMIES. 20 THE TREE THAT
TROUBLETH THEE, TELL ME THE VISIONS OF MY DREAM THAT I HAVE THOU SAWEST, WHICH GREW, AND WAS STRONG, WHOSE HEIGHT
SEEN, AND THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF. 10 THUS WERE THE REACHED UNTO THE HEAVEN, AND THE SIGHT THEREOF TO ALL THE
VISIONS OF MINE HEAD IN MY BED; I SAW, AND BEHOLD A TREE IN EARTH; 21 WHOSE LEAVES WERE FAIR, AND THE FRUIT THEREOF
THE MIDST OF THE EARTH, AND THE HEIGHT THEREOF WAS GREAT. MUCH, AND IN IT WAS MEAT FOR ALL; UNDER WHICH THE BEASTS
11 THE TREE GREW, AND WAS STRONG, AND THE HEIGHT THEREOF OF THE FIELD DWELT, AND UPON WHOSE BRANCHES THE FOWLS OF
REACHED UNTO HEAVEN, AND THE SIGHT THEREOF TO THE END OF THE HEAVEN HAD THEIR HABITATION: 22 IT IS THOU, O KING, THAT
ALL THE EARTH: 12 THE LEAVES THEREOF WERE FAIR, AND THE ART GROWN AND BECOME STRONG: FOR THY GREATNESS IS GROWN,
FRUIT THEREOF MUCH, AND IN IT WAS MEAT FOR ALL: THE BEASTS AND REACHETH UNTO HEAVEN, AND THY DOMINION TO THE END OF
OF THE FIELD HAD SHADOW UNDER IT, AND THE FOWLS OF THE THE EARTH. 23 AND WHEREAS THE KING SAW A WATCHER AND AN
HEAVEN DWELT IN THE BOUGHS THEREOF, AND ALL FLESH WAS FED HOLY ONE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND SAYING, HEW THE
OF IT. 13 I SAW IN THE VISIONS OF MY HEAD UPON MY BED, AND, TREE DOWN, AND DESTROY IT; YET LEAVE THE STUMP OF THE ROOTS
BEHOLD, A WATCHER AND AN HOLY ONE CAME DOWN FROM THEREOF IN THE EARTH, EVEN WITH A BAND OF IRON AND BRASS,
HEAVEN; 14 HE CRIED ALOUD, AND SAID THUS, HEW DOWN THE IN THE TENDER GRASS OF THE FIELD; AND LET IT BE WET WITH THE
TREE, AND CUT OFF HIS BRANCHES, SHAKE OFF HIS LEAVES, AND DEW OF HEAVEN, AND LET HIS PORTION BE WITH THE BEASTS OF

THE FIELD, TILL SEVEN TIMES PASS OVER HIM; 24 THIS IS THE GENERATION: 35 AND ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH ARE
INTERPRETATION, O KING, AND THIS IS THE DECREE OF THE MOST REPUTED AS NOTHING: AND HE DOETH ACCORDING TO HIS WILL IN
HIGH, WHICH IS COME UPON MY LORD THE KING: 25 THAT THEY THE ARMY OF HEAVEN, AND AMONG THE INHABITANTS OF THE
SHALL DRIVE THEE FROM MEN, AND THY DWELLING SHALL BE WITH EARTH: AND NONE CAN STAY HIS HAND, OR SAY UNTO HIM, WHAT
THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD, AND THEY SHALL MAKE THEE TO EAT DOEST THOU? 36 AT THE SAME TIME MY REASON RETURNED UNTO
GRASS AS OXEN, AND THEY SHALL WET THEE WITH THE DEW OF ME; AND FOR THE GLORY OF MY KINGDOM, MINE HONOUR AND
HEAVEN, AND SEVEN TIMES SHALL PASS OVER THEE, TILL THOU BRIGHTNESS RETURNED UNTO ME; AND MY COUNSELLERS AND MY
KNOW THAT THE MOST HIGH RULETH IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN, LORDS SOUGHT UNTO ME; AND I WAS ESTABLISHED IN MY KINGDOM,
AND GIVETH IT TO WHOMSOEVER HE WILL. 26 AND WHEREAS THEY AND EXCELLENT MAJESTY WAS ADDED UNTO ME. 37 NOW I
COMMANDED TO LEAVE THE STUMP OF THE TREE ROOTS; THY NEBUCHADNEZZAR PRAISE AND EXTOL AND HONOUR THE KING OF
KINGDOM SHALL BE SURE UNTO THEE, AFTER THAT THOU SHALT HEAVEN, ALL WHOSE WORKS ARE TRUTH, AND HIS WAYS JUDGMENT:
HAVE KNOWN THAT THE HEAVENS DO RULE. 27 WHEREFORE, O AND THOSE THAT WALK IN PRIDE HE IS ABLE TO ABASE.
KING, LET MY COUNSEL BE ACCEPTABLE UNTO THEE, AND BREAK
OFF THY SINS BY RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THINE INIQUITIES BY
SHEWING MERCY TO THE POOR; IF IT MAY BE A LENGTHENING OF
THY TRANQUILLITY. 28 ALL THIS CAME UPON THE KING
NEBUCHADNEZZAR. 29 AT THE END OF TWELVE MONTHS HE
WALKED IN THE PALACE OF THE KINGDOM OF BABYLON. 30 THE
KING SPAKE, AND SAID, IS NOT THIS GREAT BABYLON, THAT I HAVE
BUILT FOR THE HOUSE OF THE KINGDOM BY THE MIGHT OF MY
POWER, AND FOR THE HONOUR OF MY MAJESTY? 31 WHILE THE
WORD WAS IN THE KING’S MOUTH, THERE FELL A VOICE FROM
HEAVEN, SAYING, O KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR, TO THEE IT IS SPOKEN;
THE KINGDOM IS DEPARTED FROM THEE. 32 AND THEY SHALL DRIVE
THEE FROM MEN, AND THY DWELLING SHALL BE WITH THE BEASTS
OF THE FIELD: THEY SHALL MAKE THEE TO EAT GRASS AS OXEN, AND
SEVEN TIMES SHALL PASS OVER THEE, UNTIL THOU KNOW THAT THE
MOST HIGH RULETH IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN, AND GIVETH IT TO
WHOMSOEVER HE WILL. 33 THE SAME HOUR WAS THE THING
FULFILLED UPON NEBUCHADNEZZAR: AND HE WAS DRIVEN FROM
MEN, AND DID EAT GRASS AS OXEN, AND HIS BODY WAS WET WITH
THE DEW OF HEAVEN, TILL HIS HAIRS WERE GROWN LIKE EAGLES’
FEATHERS, AND HIS NAILS LIKE BIRDS’ CLAWS. 34 AND AT THE END
OF THE DAYS I NEBUCHADNEZZAR LIFTED UP MINE EYES UNTO
HEAVEN, AND MINE UNDERSTANDING RETURNED UNTO ME, AND I
BLESSED THE MOST HIGH, AND I PRAISED AND HONOURED HIM
THAT LIVETH FOR EVER, WHOSE DOMINION IS AN EVERLASTING
DOMINION, AND HIS KINGDOM IS FROM GENERATION TO

 DANIEL
LIKE THE WISDOM OF THE GODS, WAS FOUND IN HIM; WHOM THE
CHAPTER 5 KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR THY FATHER, THE KING, I SAY, THY FATHER,
MADE MASTER OF THE MAGICIANS, ASTROLOGERS, CHALDEANS,
BELSHAZZAR THE KING MADE A GREAT FEAST TO A THOUSAND OF AND SOOTHSAYERS; 12 FORASMUCH AS AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT, AND
HIS LORDS, AND DRANK WINE BEFORE THE THOUSAND. 2 KNOWLEDGE, AND UNDERSTANDING, INTERPRETING OF DREAMS,
BELSHAZZAR, WHILES HE TASTED THE WINE, COMMANDED TO AND SHEWING OF HARD SENTENCES, AND DISSOLVING OF DOUBTS,
BRING THE GOLDEN AND SILVER VESSELS WHICH HIS FATHER WERE FOUND IN THE SAME DANIEL, WHOM THE KING NAMED
NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD TAKEN OUT OF THE TEMPLE WHICH WAS IN BELTESHAZZAR: NOW LET DANIEL BE CALLED, AND HE WILL SHEW
JERUSALEM; THAT THE KING, AND HIS PRINCES, HIS WIVES, AND HIS THE INTERPRETATION. 13 THEN WAS DANIEL BROUGHT IN BEFORE
CONCUBINES, MIGHT DRINK THEREIN. 3 THEN THEY BROUGHT THE THE KING. AND THE KING SPAKE AND SAID UNTO DANIEL, ART THOU
GOLDEN VESSELS THAT WERE TAKEN OUT OF THE TEMPLE OF THE THAT DANIEL, WHICH ART OF THE CHILDREN OF THE CAPTIVITY OF
HOUSE OF GOD WHICH WAS AT JERUSALEM; AND THE KING, AND JUDAH, WHOM THE KING MY FATHER BROUGHT OUT OF JEWRY? 14
HIS PRINCES, HIS WIVES, AND HIS CONCUBINES, DRANK IN THEM. I HAVE EVEN HEARD OF THEE, THAT THE SPIRIT OF THE GODS IS IN
4 THEY DRANK WINE, AND PRAISED THE GODS OF GOLD, AND OF THEE, AND THAT LIGHT AND UNDERSTANDING AND EXCELLENT
SILVER, OF BRASS, OF IRON, OF WOOD, AND OF STONE. 5 IN THE WISDOM IS FOUND IN THEE. 15 AND NOW THE WISE MEN, THE
SAME HOUR CAME FORTH FINGERS OF A MAN’S HAND, AND WROTE ASTROLOGERS, HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN BEFORE ME, THAT THEY
OVER AGAINST THE CANDLESTICK UPON THE PLAISTER OF THE WALL SHOULD READ THIS WRITING, AND MAKE KNOWN UNTO ME THE
OF THE KING’S PALACE: AND THE KING SAW THE PART OF THE HAND INTERPRETATION THEREOF: BUT THEY COULD NOT SHEW THE
THAT WROTE. 6 THEN THE KING’S COUNTENANCE WAS CHANGED, INTERPRETATION OF THE THING: 16 AND I HAVE HEARD OF THEE,
AND HIS THOUGHTS TROUBLED HIM, SO THAT THE JOINTS OF HIS THAT THOU CANST MAKE INTERPRETATIONS, AND DISSOLVE DOUBTS:
LOINS WERE LOOSED, AND HIS KNEES SMOTE ONE AGAINST NOW IF THOU CANST READ THE WRITING, AND MAKE KNOWN TO ME
ANOTHER. 7 THE KING CRIED ALOUD TO BRING IN THE ASTROLOGERS, THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF, THOU SHALT BE CLOTHED WITH
THE CHALDEANS, AND THE SOOTHSAYERS. AND THE KING SPAKE, SCARLET, AND HAVE A CHAIN OF GOLD ABOUT THY NECK, AND
AND SAID TO THE WISE MEN OF BABYLON, WHOSOEVER SHALL READ SHALT BE THE THIRD RULER IN THE KINGDOM. 17 THEN DANIEL
THIS WRITING, AND SHEW ME THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF, ANSWERED AND SAID BEFORE THE KING, LET THY GIFTS BE TO

ABOUT HIS NECK, AND SHALL BE THE THIRD RULER IN THE THE WRITING UNTO THE KING, AND MAKE KNOWN TO HIM THE
KINGDOM. 8 THEN CAME IN ALL THE KING’S WISE MEN: BUT THEY INTERPRETATION. 18 O THOU KING, THE MOST HIGH GOD GAVE
COULD NOT READ THE WRITING, NOR MAKE KNOWN TO THE KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR THY FATHER A KINGDOM, AND MAJESTY, AND
THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF. 9 THEN WAS KING BELSHAZZAR GLORY, AND HONOUR: 19 AND FOR THE MAJESTY THAT HE GAVE HIM,
GREATLY TROUBLED, AND HIS COUNTENANCE WAS CHANGED IN ALL PEOPLE, NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES, TREMBLED AND FEARED
HIM, AND HIS LORDS WERE ASTONIED. 10 NOW THE QUEEN, BY BEFORE HIM: WHOM HE WOULD HE SLEW; AND WHOM HE WOULD
REASON OF THE WORDS OF THE KING AND HIS LORDS, CAME INTO HE KEPT ALIVE; AND WHOM HE WOULD HE SET UP; AND WHOM HE
THE BANQUET HOUSE: AND THE QUEEN SPAKE AND SAID, O KING, WOULD HE PUT DOWN. 20 BUT WHEN HIS HEART WAS LIFTED UP,
LIVE FOR EVER: LET NOT THY THOUGHTS TROUBLE THEE, NOR LET AND HIS MIND HARDENED IN PRIDE, HE WAS DEPOSED FROM HIS
THY COUNTENANCE BE CHANGED: 11 THERE IS A MAN IN THY KINGLY THRONE, AND THEY TOOK HIS GLORY FROM HIM: 21 AND HE

DAYS OF THY FATHER LIGHT AND UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM, LIKE THE BEASTS, AND HIS DWELLING WAS WITH THE WILD ASSES:

1099
 DANIEL
THEY FED HIM WITH GRASS LIKE OXEN, AND HIS BODY WAS WET
WITH THE DEW OF HEAVEN; TILL HE KNEW THAT THE MOST HIGH
GOD RULED IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN, AND THAT HE APPOINTETH
OVER IT WHOMSOEVER HE WILL. 22 AND THOU HIS SON, O
BELSHAZZAR, HAST NOT HUMBLED THINE HEART, THOUGH THOU
KNEWEST ALL THIS; 23 BUT HAST LIFTED UP THYSELF AGAINST THE
LORD OF HEAVEN; AND THEY HAVE BROUGHT THE VESSELS OF HIS
HOUSE BEFORE THEE, AND THOU, AND THY LORDS, THY WIVES, AND
THY CONCUBINES, HAVE DRUNK WINE IN THEM; AND THOU HAST
PRAISED THE GODS OF SILVER, AND GOLD, OF BRASS, IRON, WOOD,
AND STONE, WHICH SEE NOT, NOR HEAR, NOR KNOW: AND THE GOD
IN WHOSE HAND THY BREATH IS, AND WHOSE ARE ALL THY WAYS,
HAST THOU NOT GLORIFIED: 24 THEN WAS THE PART OF THE HAND
SENT FROM HIM; AND THIS WRITING WAS WRITTEN. 25 AND THIS IS
THE WRITING THAT WAS WRITTEN, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 THIS IS THE INTERPRETATION OF THE THING: MENE; GOD HATH
NUMBERED THY KINGDOM, AND FINISHED IT. 27 TEKEL; THOU ART
WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES, AND ART FOUND WANTING. 28 PERES;
THY KINGDOM IS DIVIDED, AND GIVEN TO THE MEDES AND PERSIANS.
29 THEN COMMANDED BELSHAZZAR, AND THEY CLOTHED DANIEL
WITH SCARLET, AND PUT A CHAIN OF GOLD ABOUT HIS NECK, AND
MADE A PROCLAMATION CONCERNING HIM, THAT HE SHOULD BE
THE THIRD RULER IN THE KINGDOM. 30 IN THAT NIGHT WAS
BELSHAZZAR THE KING OF THE CHALDEANS SLAIN. 31 AND DARIUS
THE MEDIAN TOOK THE KINGDOM, BEING ABOUT THREESCORE AND
TWO YEARS OLD.

1100
 DANIEL
O KING, SHALL BE CAST INTO THE DEN OF LIONS? THE KING
CHAPTER 6 ANSWERED AND SAID, THE THING IS TRUE, ACCORDING TO THE LAW
OF THE MEDES AND PERSIANS, WHICH ALTERETH NOT. 13 THEN
IT PLEASED DARIUS TO SET OVER THE KINGDOM AN HUNDRED AND ANSWERED THEY AND SAID BEFORE THE KING, THAT DANIEL, WHICH
TWENTY PRINCES, WHICH SHOULD BE OVER THE WHOLE KINGDOM; IS OF THE CHILDREN OF THE CAPTIVITY OF JUDAH, REGARDETH NOT
2 AND OVER THESE THREE PRESIDENTS; OF WHOM DANIEL WAS THEE, O KING, NOR THE DECREE THAT THOU HAST SIGNED, BUT
FIRST: THAT THE PRINCES MIGHT GIVE ACCOUNTS UNTO THEM, AND MAKETH HIS PETITION THREE TIMES A DAY. 14 THEN THE KING,
THE KING SHOULD HAVE NO DAMAGE. 3 THEN THIS DANIEL WAS WHEN HE HEARD THESE WORDS, WAS SORE DISPLEASED WITH
PREFERRED ABOVE THE PRESIDENTS AND PRINCES, BECAUSE AN HIMSELF, AND SET HIS HEART ON DANIEL TO DELIVER HIM: AND HE
EXCELLENT SPIRIT WAS IN HIM; AND THE KING THOUGHT TO SET LABOURED TILL THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN TO DELIVER HIM. 15
HIM OVER THE WHOLE REALM. 4 THEN THE PRESIDENTS AND THEN THESE MEN ASSEMBLED UNTO THE KING, AND SAID UNTO THE
PRINCES SOUGHT TO FIND OCCASION AGAINST DANIEL CONCERNING KING, KNOW, O KING, THAT THE LAW OF THE MEDES AND PERSIANS
THE KINGDOM; BUT THEY COULD FIND NONE OCCASION NOR FAULT; IS, THAT NO DECREE NOR STATUTE WHICH THE KING ESTABLISHETH
FORASMUCH AS HE WAS FAITHFUL, NEITHER WAS THERE ANY MAY BE CHANGED. 16 THEN THE KING COMMANDED, AND THEY
ERROR OR FAULT FOUND IN HIM. 5 THEN SAID THESE MEN, WE BROUGHT DANIEL, AND CAST HIM INTO THE DEN OF LIONS. NOW
SHALL NOT FIND ANY OCCASION AGAINST THIS DANIEL, EXCEPT WE THE KING SPAKE AND SAID UNTO DANIEL, THY GOD WHOM THOU
FIND IT AGAINST HIM CONCERNING THE LAW OF HIS GOD. 6 THEN SERVEST CONTINUALLY, HE WILL DELIVER THEE. 17 AND A STONE
THESE PRESIDENTS AND PRINCES ASSEMBLED TOGETHER TO THE WAS BROUGHT, AND LAID UPON THE MOUTH OF THE DEN; AND THE
KING, AND SAID THUS UNTO HIM, KING DARIUS, LIVE FOR EVER. 7 KING SEALED IT WITH HIS OWN SIGNET, AND WITH THE SIGNET OF
ALL THE PRESIDENTS OF THE KINGDOM, THE GOVERNORS, AND THE HIS LORDS; THAT THE PURPOSE MIGHT NOT BE CHANGED
PRINCES, THE COUNSELLERS, AND THE CAPTAINS, HAVE CONCERNING DANIEL. 18 THEN THE KING WENT TO HIS PALACE,
CONSULTED TOGETHER TO ESTABLISH A ROYAL STATUTE, AND TO AND PASSED THE NIGHT FASTING: NEITHER WERE INSTRUMENTS OF
MAKE A FIRM DECREE, THAT WHOSOEVER SHALL ASK A PETITION OF MUSICK BROUGHT BEFORE HIM: AND HIS SLEEP WENT FROM HIM.
ANY GOD OR MAN FOR THIRTY DAYS, SAVE OF THEE, O KING, HE 19 THEN THE KING AROSE VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND WENT
SHALL BE CAST INTO THE DEN OF LIONS. 8 NOW, O KING, ESTABLISH IN HASTE UNTO THE DEN OF LIONS. 20 AND WHEN HE CAME TO THE
THE DECREE, AND SIGN THE WRITING, THAT IT BE NOT CHANGED, DEN, HE CRIED WITH A LAMENTABLE VOICE UNTO DANIEL: AND THE
ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF THE MEDES AND PERSIANS, WHICH KING SPAKE AND SAID TO DANIEL, O DANIEL, SERVANT OF THE
ALTERETH NOT. 9 WHEREFORE KING DARIUS SIGNED THE WRITING LIVING GOD, IS THY GOD, WHOM THOU SERVEST CONTINUALLY,
AND THE DECREE. 10 NOW WHEN DANIEL KNEW THAT THE WRITING ABLE TO DELIVER THEE FROM THE LIONS? 21 THEN SAID DANIEL
WAS SIGNED, HE WENT INTO HIS HOUSE; AND HIS WINDOWS BEING UNTO THE KING, O KING, LIVE FOR EVER. 22 MY GOD HATH SENT HIS
OPEN IN HIS CHAMBER TOWARD JERUSALEM, HE KNEELED UPON ANGEL, AND HATH SHUT THE LIONS’ MOUTHS, THAT THEY HAVE NOT
HIS KNEES THREE TIMES A DAY, AND PRAYED, AND GAVE THANKS HURT ME: FORASMUCH AS BEFORE HIM INNOCENCY WAS FOUND IN
BEFORE HIS GOD, AS HE DID AFORETIME. 11 THEN THESE MEN ME; AND ALSO BEFORE THEE, O KING, HAVE I DONE NO HURT. 23
ASSEMBLED, AND FOUND DANIEL PRAYING AND MAKING THEN WAS THE KING EXCEEDING GLAD FOR HIM, AND COMMANDED
SUPPLICATION BEFORE HIS GOD. 12 THEN THEY CAME NEAR, AND THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE DANIEL UP OUT OF THE DEN. SO DANIEL
SPAKE BEFORE THE KING CONCERNING THE KING’S DECREE; HAST WAS TAKEN UP OUT OF THE DEN, AND NO MANNER OF HURT WAS
THOU NOT SIGNED A DECREE, THAT EVERY MAN THAT SHALL ASK A FOUND UPON HIM, BECAUSE HE BELIEVED IN HIS GOD. 24 AND THE
PETITION OF ANY GOD OR MAN WITHIN THIRTY DAYS, SAVE OF THEE, KING COMMANDED, AND THEY BROUGHT THOSE MEN WHICH HAD

1101
 DANIEL
ACCUSED DANIEL, AND THEY CAST THEM INTO THE DEN OF LIONS,
THEM, THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEIR WIVES; AND THE LIONS HAD
THE MASTERY OF THEM, AND BRAKE ALL THEIR BONES IN PIECES OR
EVER THEY CAME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DEN. 25 THEN KING
DARIUS WROTE UNTO ALL PEOPLE, NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES,
THAT DWELL IN ALL THE EARTH; PEACE BE MULTIPLIED UNTO YOU.
26 I MAKE A DECREE, THAT IN EVERY DOMINION OF MY KINGDOM
MEN TREMBLE AND FEAR BEFORE THE GOD OF DANIEL: FOR HE IS
THE LIVING GOD, AND STEDFAST FOR EVER, AND HIS KINGDOM THAT
WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED, AND HIS DOMINION SHALL BE
EVEN UNTO THE END. 27 HE DELIVERETH AND RESCUETH, AND HE
WORKETH SIGNS AND WONDERS IN HEAVEN AND IN EARTH, WHO
HATH DELIVERED DANIEL FROM THE POWER OF THE LIONS. 28 SO
THIS DANIEL PROSPERED IN THE REIGN OF DARIUS, AND IN THE
REIGN OF CYRUS THE PERSIAN.

1102
 DANIEL
EVEN TILL THE BEAST WAS SLAIN, AND HIS BODY DESTROYED, AND
CHAPTER 7 GIVEN TO THE BURNING FLAME. 12 AS CONCERNING THE REST OF
THE BEASTS, THEY HAD THEIR DOMINION TAKEN AWAY: YET THEIR
IN THE FIRST YEAR OF BELSHAZZAR KING OF BABYLON DANIEL HAD LIVES WERE PROLONGED FOR A SEASON AND TIME. 13 I SAW IN THE
A DREAM AND VISIONS OF HIS HEAD UPON HIS BED: THEN HE NIGHT VISIONS, AND, BEHOLD, ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN CAME
WROTE THE DREAM, AND TOLD THE SUM OF THE MATTERS. 2 DANIEL WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN, AND CAME TO THE ANCIENT OF DAYS,
SPAKE AND SAID, I SAW IN MY VISION BY NIGHT, AND, BEHOLD, THE AND THEY BROUGHT HIM NEAR BEFORE HIM. 14 AND THERE WAS
FOUR WINDS OF THE HEAVEN STROVE UPON THE GREAT SEA. 3 AND GIVEN HIM DOMINION, AND GLORY, AND A KINGDOM, THAT ALL
FOUR GREAT BEASTS CAME UP FROM THE SEA, DIVERSE ONE FROM PEOPLE, NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES, SHOULD SERVE HIM: HIS
ANOTHER. 4 THE FIRST WAS LIKE A LION, AND HAD EAGLE’S WINGS: DOMINION IS AN EVERLASTING DOMINION, WHICH SHALL NOT PASS
I BEHELD TILL THE WINGS THEREOF WERE PLUCKED, AND IT WAS AWAY, AND HIS KINGDOM THAT WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED.
LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH, AND MADE STAND UPON THE FEET AS 15 I DANIEL WAS GRIEVED IN MY SPIRIT IN THE MIDST OF MY BODY,
A MAN, AND A MAN’S HEART WAS GIVEN TO IT. 5 AND BEHOLD AND THE VISIONS OF MY HEAD TROUBLED ME. 16 I CAME NEAR
ANOTHER BEAST, A SECOND, LIKE TO A BEAR, AND IT RAISED UP UNTO ONE OF THEM THAT STOOD BY, AND ASKED HIM THE TRUTH
ITSELF ON ONE SIDE, AND IT HAD THREE RIBS IN THE MOUTH OF IT OF ALL THIS. SO HE TOLD ME, AND MADE ME KNOW THE
BETWEEN THE TEETH OF IT: AND THEY SAID THUS UNTO IT, ARISE, INTERPRETATION OF THE THINGS. 17 THESE GREAT BEASTS, WHICH
DEVOUR MUCH FLESH. 6 AFTER THIS I BEHELD, AND LO ANOTHER, ARE FOUR, ARE FOUR KINGS, WHICH SHALL ARISE OUT OF THE
LIKE A LEOPARD, WHICH HAD UPON THE BACK OF IT FOUR WINGS EARTH. 18 BUT THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH SHALL TAKE THE
OF A FOWL; THE BEAST HAD ALSO FOUR HEADS; AND DOMINION WAS KINGDOM, AND POSSESS THE KINGDOM FOR EVER, EVEN FOR EVER
GIVEN TO IT. 7 AFTER THIS I SAW IN THE NIGHT VISIONS, AND AND EVER. 19 THEN I WOULD KNOW THE TRUTH OF THE FOURTH
BEHOLD A FOURTH BEAST, DREADFUL AND TERRIBLE, AND STRONG BEAST, WHICH WAS DIVERSE FROM ALL THE OTHERS, EXCEEDING
EXCEEDINGLY; AND IT HAD GREAT IRON TEETH: IT DEVOURED AND DREADFUL, WHOSE TEETH WERE OF IRON, AND HIS NAILS OF BRASS;
BRAKE IN PIECES, AND STAMPED THE RESIDUE WITH THE FEET OF IT: WHICH DEVOURED, BRAKE IN PIECES, AND STAMPED THE RESIDUE
AND IT WAS DIVERSE FROM ALL THE BEASTS THAT WERE BEFORE IT; WITH HIS FEET; 20 AND OF THE TEN HORNS THAT WERE IN HIS HEAD,
AND IT HAD TEN HORNS. 8 I CONSIDERED THE HORNS, AND, BEHOLD, AND OF THE OTHER WHICH CAME UP, AND BEFORE WHOM THREE
THERE CAME UP AMONG THEM ANOTHER LITTLE HORN, BEFORE FELL; EVEN OF THAT HORN THAT HAD EYES, AND A MOUTH THAT

AWAY HIS DOMINION, TO CONSUME AND TO DESTROY IT UNTO THE

OF THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO

SCATTER THE POWER OF THE HOLY PEOPLE, ALL THESE THINGS
SHALL BE FINISHED. 8 AND I HEARD, BUT I UNDERSTOOD NOT: THEN
SAID I, O MY LORD, WHAT SHALL BE THE END OF THESE THINGS? 9

UP AND SEALED TILL THE TIME OF THE END. 10 MANY SHALL BE
PURIFIED, AND MADE WHITE, AND TRIED; BUT THE WICKED SHALL
DO WICKEDLY: AND NONE OF THE WICKED SHALL UNDERSTAND;

THE DAILY SACRIFICE SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY, AND THE

CALL HIS NAME LO-AMMI: FOR YE ARE NOT MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL
NOT BE YOUR GOD. 10 YET THE NUMBER OF THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL SHALL BE AS THE SAND OF THE SEA, WHICH CANNOT BE
MEASURED NOR NUMBERED; AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT IN
THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID UNTO THEM, YE ARE NOT MY
PEOPLE, THERE IT SHALL BE SAID UNTO THEM, YE ARE THE SONS OF
THE LIVING GOD. 11 THEN SHALL THE CHILDREN OF JUDAH AND THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BE GATHERED TOGETHER, AND APPOINT
THEMSELVES ONE HEAD, AND THEY SHALL COME UP OUT OF THE
LAND: FOR GREAT SHALL BE THE DAY OF JEZREEL.

1114
 HOSEA
THEREFORE, BEHOLD, I WILL ALLURE HER, AND BRING HER INTO
CHAPTER 2 THE WILDERNESS, AND SPEAK COMFORTABLY UNTO HER. 15 AND I
WILL GIVE HER HER VINEYARDS FROM THENCE, AND THE VALLEY OF
SAY YE UNTO YOUR BRETHREN, AMMI; AND TO YOUR SISTERS, RU- ACHOR FOR A DOOR OF HOPE: AND SHE SHALL SING THERE, AS IN
HAMAH. 2 PLEAD WITH YOUR MOTHER, PLEAD: FOR SHE IS NOT MY THE DAYS OF HER YOUTH, AND AS IN THE DAY WHEN SHE CAME UP
WIFE, NEITHER AM I HER HUSBAND: LET HER THEREFORE PUT AWAY OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT. 16 AND IT SHALL BE AT THAT DAY,
HER WHOREDOMS OUT OF HER SIGHT, AND HER ADULTERIES FROM SAITH THE LORD, THAT THOU SHALT CALL ME ISHI; AND SHALT CALL
BETWEEN HER BREASTS; 3 LEST I STRIP HER NAKED, AND SET HER ME NO MORE BAALI. 17 FOR I WILL TAKE AWAY THE NAMES OF
AS IN THE DAY THAT SHE WAS BORN, AND MAKE HER AS A BAALIM OUT OF HER MOUTH, AND THEY SHALL NO MORE BE
WILDERNESS, AND SET HER LIKE A DRY LAND, AND SLAY HER WITH REMEMBERED BY THEIR NAME. 18 AND IN THAT DAY WILL I MAKE A
THIRST. 4 AND I WILL NOT HAVE MERCY UPON HER CHILDREN; FOR COVENANT FOR THEM WITH THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD, AND WITH
THEY BE THE CHILDREN OF WHOREDOMS. 5 FOR THEIR MOTHER THE FOWLS OF HEAVEN, AND WITH THE CREEPING THINGS OF THE
HATH PLAYED THE HARLOT: SHE THAT CONCEIVED THEM HATH GROUND: AND I WILL BREAK THE BOW AND THE SWORD AND THE

THY WAY WITH THORNS, AND MAKE A WALL, THAT SHE SHALL NOT JUDGMENT, AND IN LOVINGKINDNESS, AND IN MERCIES. 20 I WILL
FIND HER PATHS. 7 AND SHE SHALL FOLLOW AFTER HER LOVERS, EVEN BETROTH THEE UNTO ME IN FAITHFULNESS: AND THOU SHALT
BUT SHE SHALL NOT OVERTAKE THEM; AND SHE SHALL SEEK THEM, KNOW THE LORD. 21 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, I
BUT SHALL NOT FIND THEM: THEN SHALL SHE SAY, I WILL GO AND WILL HEAR, SAITH THE LORD, I WILL HEAR THE HEAVENS, AND THEY
RETURN TO MY FIRST HUSBAND; FOR THEN WAS IT BETTER WITH ME SHALL HEAR THE EARTH; 22 AND THE EARTH SHALL HEAR THE CORN,

GIVEN TO COVER HER NAKEDNESS. 10 AND NOW WILL I DISCOVER
HER LEWDNESS IN THE SIGHT OF HER LOVERS, AND NONE SHALL
DELIVER HER OUT OF MINE HAND. 11 I WILL ALSO CAUSE ALL HER
MIRTH TO CEASE, HER FEAST DAYS, HER NEW MOONS, AND HER
SABBATHS, AND ALL HER SOLEMN FEASTS. 12 AND I WILL DESTROY
HER VINES AND HER FIG TREES, WHEREOF SHE HATH SAID, THESE
ARE MY REWARDS THAT MY LOVERS HAVE GIVEN ME: AND I WILL
MAKE THEM A FOREST, AND THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD SHALL EAT
THEM. 13 AND I WILL VISIT UPON HER THE DAYS OF BAALIM,
WHEREIN SHE BURNED INCENSE TO THEM, AND SHE DECKED
HERSELF WITH HER EARRINGS AND HER JEWELS, AND SHE WENT
AFTER HER LOVERS, AND FORGAT ME, SAITH THE LORD. 14

CHAPTER 3
THEN SAID THE LORD UNTO ME, GO YET, LOVE A WOMAN BELOVED
OF HER FRIEND, YET AN ADULTERESS, ACCORDING TO THE LOVE OF
THE LORD TOWARD THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, WHO LOOK TO OTHER
GODS, AND LOVE FLAGONS OF WINE. 2 SO I BOUGHT HER TO ME FOR
FIFTEEN PIECES OF SILVER, AND FOR AN HOMER OF BARLEY, AND
AN HALF HOMER OF BARLEY: 3 AND I SAID UNTO HER, THOU SHALT
ABIDE FOR ME MANY DAYS; THOU SHALT NOT PLAY THE HARLOT,
AND THOU SHALT NOT BE FOR ANOTHER MAN: SO WILL I ALSO BE
FOR THEE. 4 FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SHALL ABIDE MANY DAYS
WITHOUT A KING, AND WITHOUT A PRINCE, AND WITHOUT A
SACRIFICE, AND WITHOUT AN IMAGE, AND WITHOUT AN EPHOD,
AND WITHOUT TERAPHIM: 5 AFTERWARD SHALL THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL RETURN, AND SEEK THE LORD THEIR GOD, AND DAVID THEIR
KING; AND SHALL FEAR THE LORD AND HIS GOODNESS IN THE
LATTER DAYS.

1116
 HOSEA
WHEN THEY COMMIT ADULTERY: FOR THEMSELVES ARE SEPARATED
CHAPTER 4 WITH WHORES, AND THEY SACRIFICE WITH HARLOTS: THEREFORE
THE PEOPLE THAT DOTH NOT UNDERSTAND SHALL FALL. 15 THOUGH
HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD, YE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL: FOR THE THOU, ISRAEL, PLAY THE HARLOT, YET LET NOT JUDAH OFFEND; AND
LORD HATH A CONTROVERSY WITH THE INHABITANTS OF THE LAND, COME NOT YE UNTO GILGAL, NEITHER GO YE UP TO BETH-AVEN,
BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRUTH, NOR MERCY, NOR KNOWLEDGE OF NOR SWEAR, THE LORD LIVETH. 16 FOR ISRAEL SLIDETH BACK AS A
GOD IN THE LAND. 2 BY SWEARING, AND LYING, AND KILLING, AND BACKSLIDING HEIFER: NOW THE LORD WILL FEED THEM AS A LAMB
STEALING, AND COMMITTING ADULTERY, THEY BREAK OUT, AND IN A LARGE PLACE. 17 EPHRAIM IS JOINED TO IDOLS: LET HIM ALONE.
BLOOD TOUCHETH BLOOD. 3 THEREFORE SHALL THE LAND MOURN, 18 THEIR DRINK IS SOUR: THEY HAVE COMMITTED WHOREDOM
AND EVERY ONE THAT DWELLETH THEREIN SHALL LANGUISH, WITH CONTINUALLY: HER RULERS WITH SHAME DO LOVE, GIVE YE. 19 THE
THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD, AND WITH THE FOWLS OF HEAVEN; YEA, WIND HATH BOUND HER UP IN HER WINGS, AND THEY SHALL BE

MAN STRIVE, NOR REPROVE ANOTHER: FOR THY PEOPLE ARE AS
THEY THAT STRIVE WITH THE PRIEST. 5 THEREFORE SHALT THOU
FALL IN THE DAY, AND THE PROPHET ALSO SHALL FALL WITH THEE
IN THE NIGHT, AND I WILL DESTROY THY MOTHER. 6 MY PEOPLE ARE
DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: BECAUSE THOU HAST
REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I WILL ALSO REJECT THEE, THAT THOU
SHALT BE NO PRIEST TO ME: SEEING THOU HAST FORGOTTEN THE
LAW OF THY GOD, I WILL ALSO FORGET THY CHILDREN. 7 AS THEY
WERE INCREASED, SO THEY SINNED AGAINST ME: THEREFORE WILL
I CHANGE THEIR GLORY INTO SHAME. 8 THEY EAT UP THE SIN OF MY
PEOPLE, AND THEY SET THEIR HEART ON THEIR INIQUITY. 9 AND
THERE SHALL BE, LIKE PEOPLE, LIKE PRIEST: AND I WILL PUNISH
THEM FOR THEIR WAYS, AND REWARD THEM THEIR DOINGS. 10 FOR
THEY SHALL EAT, AND NOT HAVE ENOUGH: THEY SHALL COMMIT
WHOREDOM, AND SHALL NOT INCREASE: BECAUSE THEY HAVE LEFT
OFF TO TAKE HEED TO THE LORD. 11 WHOREDOM AND WINE AND
NEW WINE TAKE AWAY THE HEART. 12 MY PEOPLE ASK COUNSEL AT
THEIR STOCKS, AND THEIR STAFF DECLARETH UNTO THEM: FOR THE
SPIRIT OF WHOREDOMS HATH CAUSED THEM TO ERR, AND THEY
HAVE GONE A WHORING FROM UNDER THEIR GOD. 13 THEY
SACRIFICE UPON THE TOPS OF THE MOUNTAINS, AND BURN
INCENSE UPON THE HILLS, UNDER OAKS AND POPLARS AND ELMS,
BECAUSE THE SHADOW THEREOF IS GOOD: THEREFORE YOUR
DAUGHTERS SHALL COMMIT WHOREDOM, AND YOUR SPOUSES
SHALL COMMIT ADULTERY. 14 I WILL NOT PUNISH YOUR
DAUGHTERS WHEN THEY COMMIT WHOREDOM, NOR YOUR SPOUSES

CHAPTER 5
HEAR YE THIS, O PRIESTS; AND HEARKEN, YE HOUSE OF ISRAEL; AND
GIVE YE EAR, O HOUSE OF THE KING; FOR JUDGMENT IS TOWARD
YOU, BECAUSE YE HAVE BEEN A SNARE ON MIZPAH, AND A NET
SPREAD UPON TABOR. 2 AND THE REVOLTERS ARE PROFOUND TO
MAKE SLAUGHTER, THOUGH I HAVE BEEN A REBUKER OF THEM ALL.
3 I KNOW EPHRAIM, AND ISRAEL IS NOT HID FROM ME: FOR NOW,
O EPHRAIM, THOU COMMITTEST WHOREDOM, AND ISRAEL IS
DEFILED. 4 THEY WILL NOT FRAME THEIR DOINGS TO TURN UNTO
THEIR GOD: FOR THE SPIRIT OF WHOREDOMS IS IN THE MIDST OF
THEM, AND THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN THE LORD. 5 AND THE PRIDE
OF ISRAEL DOTH TESTIFY TO HIS FACE: THEREFORE SHALL ISRAEL
AND EPHRAIM FALL IN THEIR INIQUITY; JUDAH ALSO SHALL FALL
WITH THEM. 6 THEY SHALL GO WITH THEIR FLOCKS AND WITH THEIR
HERDS TO SEEK THE LORD; BUT THEY SHALL NOT FIND HIM; HE
HATH WITHDRAWN HIMSELF FROM THEM. 7 THEY HAVE DEALT
TREACHEROUSLY AGAINST THE LORD: FOR THEY HAVE BEGOTTEN
STRANGE CHILDREN: NOW SHALL A MONTH DEVOUR THEM WITH
THEIR PORTIONS. 8 BLOW YE THE CORNET IN GIBEAH, AND THE
TRUMPET IN RAMAH: CRY ALOUD AT BETH-AVEN, AFTER THEE, O
BENJAMIN. 9 EPHRAIM SHALL BE DESOLATE IN THE DAY OF REBUKE:
AMONG THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL HAVE I MADE KNOWN THAT WHICH
SHALL SURELY BE. 10 THE PRINCES OF JUDAH WERE LIKE THEM
THAT REMOVE THE BOUND: THEREFORE I WILL POUR OUT MY
WRATH UPON THEM LIKE WATER. 11 EPHRAIM IS OPPRESSED AND
BROKEN IN JUDGMENT, BECAUSE HE WILLINGLY WALKED AFTER
THE COMMANDMENT. 12 THEREFORE WILL I BE UNTO EPHRAIM AS
A MOTH, AND TO THE HOUSE OF JUDAH AS ROTTENNESS. 13 WHEN
EPHRAIM SAW HIS SICKNESS, AND JUDAH SAW HIS WOUND, THEN
WENT EPHRAIM TO THE ASSYRIAN, AND SENT TO KING JAREB: YET
COULD HE NOT HEAL YOU, NOR CURE YOU OF YOUR WOUND. 14 FOR
I WILL BE UNTO EPHRAIM AS A LION, AND AS A YOUNG LION TO THE
HOUSE OF JUDAH: I, EVEN I, WILL TEAR AND GO AWAY; I WILL TAKE
AWAY, AND NONE SHALL RESCUE HIM. 15 I WILL GO AND RETURN
TO MY PLACE, TILL THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR OFFENCE, AND SEEK
MY FACE: IN THEIR AFFLICTION THEY WILL SEEK ME EARLY.

CHAPTER 6
COME, AND LET US RETURN UNTO THE LORD: FOR HE HATH TORN,
AND HE WILL HEAL US; HE HATH SMITTEN, AND HE WILL BIND US
UP. 2 AFTER TWO DAYS WILL HE REVIVE US: IN THE THIRD DAY HE
WILL RAISE US UP, AND WE SHALL LIVE IN HIS SIGHT. 3 THEN SHALL
WE KNOW, IF WE FOLLOW ON TO KNOW THE LORD: HIS GOING
FORTH IS PREPARED AS THE MORNING; AND HE SHALL COME UNTO
US AS THE RAIN, AS THE LATTER AND FORMER RAIN UNTO THE
EARTH. 4 O EPHRAIM, WHAT SHALL I DO UNTO THEE? O JUDAH,
WHAT SHALL I DO UNTO THEE? FOR YOUR GOODNESS IS AS A
MORNING CLOUD, AND AS THE EARLY DEW IT GOETH AWAY. 5
THEREFORE HAVE I HEWED THEM BY THE PROPHETS; I HAVE SLAIN
THEM BY THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH: AND THY JUDGMENTS ARE AS
THE LIGHT THAT GOETH FORTH. 6 FOR I DESIRED MERCY, AND NOT
SACRIFICE; AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD MORE THAN BURNT
OFFERINGS. 7 BUT THEY LIKE MEN HAVE TRANSGRESSED THE
COVENANT: THERE HAVE THEY DEALT TREACHEROUSLY AGAINST ME.
8 GILEAD IS A CITY OF THEM THAT WORK INIQUITY, AND IS
POLLUTED WITH BLOOD. 9 AND AS TROOPS OF ROBBERS WAIT FOR
A MAN, SO THE COMPANY OF PRIESTS MURDER IN THE WAY BY
CONSENT: FOR THEY COMMIT LEWDNESS. 10 I HAVE SEEN AN
HORRIBLE THING IN THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL: THERE IS THE
WHOREDOM OF EPHRAIM, ISRAEL IS DEFILED. 11 ALSO, O JUDAH,
HE HATH SET AN HARVEST FOR THEE, WHEN I RETURNED THE
CAPTIVITY OF MY PEOPLE.

1119
 HOSEA
IMAGINE MISCHIEF AGAINST ME. 16 THEY RETURN, BUT NOT TO THE
CHAPTER 7 MOST HIGH: THEY ARE LIKE A DECEITFUL BOW: THEIR PRINCES
SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD FOR THE RAGE OF THEIR TONGUE: THIS
WHEN I WOULD HAVE HEALED ISRAEL, THEN THE INIQUITY OF SHALL BE THEIR DERISION IN THE LAND OF EGYPT.
EPHRAIM WAS DISCOVERED, AND THE WICKEDNESS OF SAMARIA:
FOR THEY COMMIT FALSEHOOD; AND THE THIEF COMETH IN, AND
THE TROOP OF ROBBERS SPOILETH WITHOUT. 2 AND THEY CONSIDER
NOT IN THEIR HEARTS THAT I REMEMBER ALL THEIR WICKEDNESS:
NOW THEIR OWN DOINGS HAVE BESET THEM ABOUT; THEY ARE
BEFORE MY FACE. 3 THEY MAKE THE KING GLAD WITH THEIR
WICKEDNESS, AND THE PRINCES WITH THEIR LIES. 4 THEY ARE ALL
ADULTERERS, AS AN OVEN HEATED BY THE BAKER, WHO CEASETH
FROM RAISING AFTER HE HATH KNEADED THE DOUGH, UNTIL IT BE
LEAVENED. 5 IN THE DAY OF OUR KING THE PRINCES HAVE MADE
HIM SICK WITH BOTTLES OF WINE; HE STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND
WITH SCORNERS. 6 FOR THEY HAVE MADE READY THEIR HEART LIKE
AN OVEN, WHILES THEY LIE IN WAIT: THEIR BAKER SLEEPETH ALL
THE NIGHT; IN THE MORNING IT BURNETH AS A FLAMING FIRE. 7
THEY ARE ALL HOT AS AN OVEN, AND HAVE DEVOURED THEIR
JUDGES; ALL THEIR KINGS ARE FALLEN: THERE IS NONE AMONG
THEM THAT CALLETH UNTO ME. 8 EPHRAIM, HE HATH MIXED
HIMSELF AMONG THE PEOPLE; EPHRAIM IS A CAKE NOT TURNED. 9
STRANGERS HAVE DEVOURED HIS STRENGTH, AND HE KNOWETH IT
NOT: YEA, GRAY HAIRS ARE HERE AND THERE UPON HIM, YET HE
KNOWETH NOT. 10 AND THE PRIDE OF ISRAEL TESTIFIETH TO HIS
FACE: AND THEY DO NOT RETURN TO THE LORD THEIR GOD, NOR
SEEK HIM FOR ALL THIS. 11 EPHRAIM ALSO IS LIKE A SILLY DOVE
WITHOUT HEART: THEY CALL TO EGYPT, THEY GO TO ASSYRIA. 12
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, AS THEIR CONGREGATION HATH HEARD. 13 WOE
UNTO THEM! FOR THEY HAVE FLED FROM ME: DESTRUCTION UNTO
THEM! BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRANSGRESSED AGAINST ME: THOUGH
I HAVE REDEEMED THEM, YET THEY HAVE SPOKEN LIES AGAINST ME.
14 AND THEY HAVE NOT CRIED UNTO ME WITH THEIR HEART, WHEN
THEY HOWLED UPON THEIR BEDS: THEY ASSEMBLE THEMSELVES
FOR CORN AND WINE, AND THEY REBEL AGAINST ME. 15 THOUGH I
HAVE BOUND AND STRENGTHENED THEIR ARMS, YET DO THEY

CHAPTER 8
SET THE TRUMPET TO THY MOUTH. HE SHALL COME AS AN EAGLE
AGAINST THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, BECAUSE THEY HAVE
TRANSGRESSED MY COVENANT, AND TRESPASSED AGAINST MY LAW.
2 ISRAEL SHALL CRY UNTO ME, MY GOD, WE KNOW THEE. 3 ISRAEL
HATH CAST OFF THE THING THAT IS GOOD: THE ENEMY SHALL
PURSUE HIM. 4 THEY HAVE SET UP KINGS, BUT NOT BY ME: THEY
HAVE MADE PRINCES, AND I KNEW IT NOT: OF THEIR SILVER AND
THEIR GOLD HAVE THEY MADE THEM IDOLS, THAT THEY MAY BE CUT
OFF. 5 THY CALF, O SAMARIA, HATH CAST THEE OFF; MINE ANGER IS
KINDLED AGAINST THEM: HOW LONG WILL IT BE ERE THEY ATTAIN
TO INNOCENCY? 6 FOR FROM ISRAEL WAS IT ALSO: THE WORKMAN
MADE IT; THEREFORE IT IS NOT GOD: BUT THE CALF OF SAMARIA
SHALL BE BROKEN IN PIECES. 7 FOR THEY HAVE SOWN THE WIND,
AND THEY SHALL REAP THE WHIRLWIND: IT HATH NO STALK: THE
BUD SHALL YIELD NO MEAL: IF SO BE IT YIELD, THE STRANGERS
SHALL SWALLOW IT UP. 8 ISRAEL IS SWALLOWED UP: NOW SHALL
THEY BE AMONG THE GENTILES AS A VESSEL WHEREIN IS NO
PLEASURE. 9 FOR THEY ARE GONE UP TO ASSYRIA, A WILD ASS
ALONE BY HIMSELF: EPHRAIM HATH HIRED LOVERS. 10 YEA,
THOUGH THEY HAVE HIRED AMONG THE NATIONS, NOW WILL I
GATHER THEM, AND THEY SHALL SORROW A LITTLE FOR THE
BURDEN OF THE KING OF PRINCES. 11 BECAUSE EPHRAIM HATH
MADE MANY ALTARS TO SIN, ALTARS SHALL BE UNTO HIM TO SIN.
12 I HAVE WRITTEN TO HIM THE GREAT THINGS OF MY LAW, BUT
THEY WERE COUNTED AS A STRANGE THING. 13 THEY SACRIFICE
FLESH FOR THE SACRIFICES OF MINE OFFERINGS, AND EAT IT; BUT
THE LORD ACCEPTETH THEM NOT; NOW WILL HE REMEMBER THEIR
INIQUITY, AND VISIT THEIR SINS: THEY SHALL RETURN TO EGYPT. 14
FOR ISRAEL HATH FORGOTTEN HIS MAKER, AND BUILDETH TEMPLES;
AND JUDAH HATH MULTIPLIED FENCED CITIES: BUT I WILL SEND A
FIRE UPON HIS CITIES, AND IT SHALL DEVOUR THE PALACES
THEREOF.

REJOICE NOT, O ISRAEL, FOR JOY, AS OTHER PEOPLE: FOR THOU WICKEDNESS OF THEIR DOINGS I WILL DRIVE THEM OUT OF MINE
HAST GONE A WHORING FROM THY GOD, THOU HAST LOVED A HOUSE, I WILL LOVE THEM NO MORE: ALL THEIR PRINCES ARE
REWARD UPON EVERY CORNFLOOR. 2 THE FLOOR AND THE REVOLTERS. 16 EPHRAIM IS SMITTEN, THEIR ROOT IS DRIED UP,
WINEPRESS SHALL NOT FEED THEM, AND THE NEW WINE SHALL THEY SHALL BEAR NO FRUIT: YEA, THOUGH THEY BRING FORTH, YET
FAIL IN HER. 3 THEY SHALL NOT DWELL IN THE LORD’S LAND; BUT WILL I SLAY EVEN THE BELOVED FRUIT OF THEIR WOMB. 17 MY GOD
EPHRAIM SHALL RETURN TO EGYPT, AND THEY SHALL EAT UNCLEAN WILL CAST THEM AWAY, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HEARKEN UNTO
THINGS IN ASSYRIA. 4 THEY SHALL NOT OFFER WINE OFFERINGS TO HIM: AND THEY SHALL BE WANDERERS AMONG THE NATIONS.
THE LORD, 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 FOR
THEIR SOUL SHALL NOT COME INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. 5
WHAT WILL YE DO IN THE SOLEMN DAY, AND IN THE DAY OF THE
FEAST OF THE LORD? 6 FOR, LO, THEY ARE GONE BECAUSE OF
DESTRUCTION: EGYPT SHALL GATHER THEM UP, MEMPHIS SHALL
BURY THEM: THE PLEASANT PLACES FOR THEIR SILVER, NETTLES
SHALL POSSESS THEM: THORNS SHALL BE IN THEIR TABERNACLES.
7 THE DAYS OF VISITATION ARE COME, THE DAYS OF RECOMPENCE
ARE COME; ISRAEL SHALL KNOW IT: THE PROPHET IS A FOOL, THE
SPIRITUAL MAN IS MAD, FOR THE MULTITUDE OF THINE INIQUITY,
AND THE GREAT HATRED. 8 THE WATCHMAN OF EPHRAIM WAS WITH
MY GOD: BUT THE PROPHET IS A SNARE OF A FOWLER IN ALL HIS
WAYS, AND HATRED IN THE HOUSE OF HIS GOD. 9 THEY HAVE
DEEPLY CORRUPTED THEMSELVES, AS IN THE DAYS OF GIBEAH:
THEREFORE HE WILL REMEMBER THEIR INIQUITY, HE WILL VISIT
THEIR SINS. 10 I FOUND ISRAEL LIKE GRAPES IN THE WILDERNESS; I
SAW YOUR FATHERS AS THE FIRSTRIPE IN THE FIG TREE AT HER FIRST
TIME: BUT THEY WENT TO BAAL-PEOR, AND SEPARATED
THEMSELVES UNTO THAT SHAME; AND THEIR ABOMINATIONS WERE
ACCORDING AS THEY LOVED. 11 AS FOR EPHRAIM, THEIR GLORY
SHALL FLY AWAY LIKE A BIRD, FROM THE BIRTH, AND FROM THE
WOMB, AND FROM THE CONCEPTION. 12 THOUGH THEY BRING UP
THEIR CHILDREN, YET WILL I BEREAVE THEM, THAT THERE SHALL
NOT BE A MAN LEFT: YEA, WOE ALSO TO THEM WHEN I DEPART
FROM THEM! 13 EPHRAIM, AS I SAW TYRUS, IS PLANTED IN A
PLEASANT PLACE: BUT EPHRAIM SHALL BRING FORTH HIS CHILDREN

1122
 HOSEA
MULTITUDE OF THY MIGHTY MEN. 14 THEREFORE SHALL A TUMULT
CHAPTER 10 ARISE AMONG THY PEOPLE, AND ALL THY FORTRESSES SHALL BE
SPOILED, AS SHALMAN SPOILED BETH-ARBEL IN THE DAY OF BATTLE:
ISRAEL IS AN EMPTY VINE, HE BRINGETH FORTH FRUIT UNTO THE MOTHER WAS DASHED IN PIECES UPON HER CHILDREN. 15 SO
HIMSELF: ACCORDING TO THE MULTITUDE OF HIS FRUIT HE HATH SHALL BETH-EL DO UNTO YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR GREAT
INCREASED THE ALTARS; ACCORDING TO THE GOODNESS OF HIS WICKEDNESS: IN A MORNING SHALL THE KING OF ISRAEL UTTERLY
LAND THEY HAVE MADE GOODLY IMAGES. 2 THEIR HEART IS DIVIDED; BE CUT OFF.
NOW SHALL THEY BE FOUND FAULTY: HE SHALL BREAK DOWN THEIR
ALTARS, HE SHALL SPOIL THEIR IMAGES. 3 FOR NOW THEY SHALL
SAY, WE HAVE NO KING, BECAUSE WE FEARED NOT THE LORD; WHAT
THEN SHOULD A KING DO TO US? 4 THEY HAVE SPOKEN WORDS,
SWEARING FALSELY IN MAKING A COVENANT: THUS JUDGMENT
SPRINGETH UP AS HEMLOCK IN THE FURROWS OF THE FIELD. 5 THE
INHABITANTS OF SAMARIA SHALL FEAR BECAUSE OF THE CALVES OF
BETH-AVEN: FOR THE PEOPLE THEREOF SHALL MOURN OVER IT,
AND THE PRIESTS THEREOF THAT REJOICED ON IT, FOR THE GLORY
THEREOF, BECAUSE IT IS DEPARTED FROM IT. 6 IT SHALL BE ALSO
CARRIED UNTO ASSYRIA FOR A PRESENT TO KING JAREB: EPHRAIM
SHALL RECEIVE SHAME, AND ISRAEL SHALL BE ASHAMED OF HIS
OWN COUNSEL. 7 AS FOR SAMARIA, HER KING IS CUT OFF AS THE
FOAM UPON THE WATER. 8 THE HIGH PLACES ALSO OF AVEN, THE
SIN OF ISRAEL, SHALL BE DESTROYED: THE THORN AND THE THISTLE
SHALL COME UP ON THEIR ALTARS; AND THEY SHALL SAY TO THE
MOUNTAINS, COVER US; AND TO THE HILLS, FALL ON US. 9 O ISRAEL,
THOU HAST SINNED FROM THE DAYS OF GIBEAH: THERE THEY STOOD:
THE BATTLE IN GIBEAH AGAINST THE CHILDREN OF INIQUITY DID
NOT OVERTAKE THEM. 10 IT IS IN MY DESIRE THAT I SHOULD
CHASTISE THEM; AND THE PEOPLE SHALL BE GATHERED AGAINST
THEM, WHEN THEY SHALL BIND THEMSELVES IN THEIR TWO
FURROWS. 11 AND EPHRAIM IS AS AN HEIFER THAT IS TAUGHT, AND
LOVETH TO TREAD OUT THE CORN; BUT I PASSED OVER UPON HER
FAIR NECK: I WILL MAKE EPHRAIM TO RIDE; JUDAH SHALL PLOW,
AND JACOB SHALL BREAK HIS CLODS. 12 SOW TO YOURSELVES IN
RIGHTEOUSNESS, REAP IN MERCY; BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW
GROUND: FOR IT IS TIME TO SEEK THE LORD, TILL HE COME AND
RAIN RIGHTEOUSNESS UPON YOU. 13 YE HAVE PLOWED
WICKEDNESS, YE HAVE REAPED INIQUITY; YE HAVE EATEN THE
FRUIT OF LIES: BECAUSE THOU DIDST TRUST IN THY WAY, IN THE

CHAPTER 11
WHEN ISRAEL WAS A CHILD, THEN I LOVED HIM, AND CALLED MY
SON OUT OF EGYPT. 2 AS THEY CALLED THEM, SO THEY WENT FROM
THEM: THEY SACRIFICED UNTO BAALIM, AND BURNED INCENSE TO
GRAVEN IMAGES. 3 I TAUGHT EPHRAIM ALSO TO GO, TAKING THEM
BY THEIR ARMS; BUT THEY KNEW NOT THAT I HEALED THEM. 4 I
DREW THEM WITH CORDS OF A MAN, WITH BANDS OF LOVE: AND I
WAS TO THEM AS THEY THAT TAKE OFF THE YOKE ON THEIR JAWS,
AND I LAID MEAT UNTO THEM. 5 HE SHALL NOT RETURN INTO THE
LAND OF EGYPT, BUT THE ASSYRIAN SHALL BE HIS KING, BECAUSE
THEY REFUSED TO RETURN. 6 AND THE SWORD SHALL ABIDE ON HIS
CITIES, AND SHALL CONSUME HIS BRANCHES, AND DEVOUR THEM,
BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN COUNSELS. 7 AND MY PEOPLE ARE BENT
TO BACKSLIDING FROM ME: THOUGH THEY CALLED THEM TO THE
MOST HIGH, NONE AT ALL WOULD EXALT HIM. 8 HOW SHALL I GIVE
THEE UP, EPHRAIM? HOW SHALL I DELIVER THEE, ISRAEL? HOW
SHALL I MAKE THEE AS ADMAH? HOW SHALL I SET THEE AS ZEBOIM?
MINE HEART IS TURNED WITHIN ME, MY REPENTINGS ARE KINDLED
TOGETHER. 9 I WILL NOT EXECUTE THE FIERCENESS OF MINE ANGER,
I WILL NOT RETURN TO DESTROY EPHRAIM: FOR I AM GOD, AND NOT
MAN; THE HOLY ONE IN THE MIDST OF THEE: AND I WILL NOT ENTER
INTO THE CITY. 10 THEY SHALL WALK AFTER THE LORD: HE SHALL
ROAR LIKE A LION: WHEN HE SHALL ROAR, THEN THE CHILDREN
SHALL TREMBLE FROM THE WEST. 11 THEY SHALL TREMBLE AS A
BIRD OUT OF EGYPT, AND AS A DOVE OUT OF THE LAND OF ASSYRIA:
AND I WILL PLACE THEM IN THEIR HOUSES, SAITH THE LORD. 12
EPHRAIM COMPASSETH ME ABOUT WITH LIES, AND THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL WITH DECEIT: BUT JUDAH YET RULETH WITH GOD, AND IS
FAITHFUL WITH THE SAINTS.

CHAPTER 12 EPHRAIM FEEDETH ON WIND, AND FOLLOWETH AFTER
THE EAST WIND: HE DAILY INCREASETH LIES AND DESOLATION; AND
THEY DO MAKE A COVENANT WITH THE ASSYRIANS, AND OIL IS
CARRIED INTO EGYPT. 2 THE LORD HATH ALSO A CONTROVERSY
WITH JUDAH, AND WILL PUNISH JACOB ACCORDING TO HIS WAYS;
ACCORDING TO HIS DOINGS WILL HE RECOMPENSE HIM. 3 HE TOOK
HIS BROTHER BY THE HEEL IN THE WOMB, AND BY HIS STRENGTH
HE HAD POWER WITH GOD: 4 YEA, HE HAD POWER OVER THE ANGEL,
AND PREVAILED: HE WEPT, AND MADE SUPPLICATION UNTO HIM:
HE FOUND HIM IN BETH-EL, AND THERE HE SPAKE WITH US; 5 EVEN
THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS; THE LORD IS HIS MEMORIAL. 6
THEREFORE TURN THOU TO THY GOD: KEEP MERCY AND JUDGMENT,
AND WAIT ON THY GOD CONTINUALLY. 7 HE IS A MERCHANT, THE
BALANCES OF DECEIT ARE IN HIS HAND: HE LOVETH TO OPPRESS. 8
AND EPHRAIM SAID, YET I AM BECOME RICH, I HAVE FOUND ME OUT
SUBSTANCE: IN ALL MY LABOURS THEY SHALL FIND NONE INIQUITY
IN ME THAT WERE SIN. 9 AND I THAT AM THE LORD THY GOD FROM
THE LAND OF EGYPT WILL YET MAKE THEE TO DWELL IN
TABERNACLES, AS IN THE DAYS OF THE SOLEMN FEAST. 10 I HAVE
ALSO SPOKEN BY THE PROPHETS, AND I HAVE MULTIPLIED VISIONS,
AND USED SIMILITUDES, BY THE MINISTRY OF THE PROPHETS. 11 IS
THERE INIQUITY IN GILEAD? SURELY THEY ARE VANITY: THEY
SACRIFICE BULLOCKS IN GILGAL; YEA, THEIR ALTARS ARE AS HEAPS
IN THE FURROWS OF THE FIELDS. 12 AND JACOB FLED INTO THE
COUNTRY OF SYRIA, AND ISRAEL SERVED FOR A WIFE, AND FOR A
WIFE HE KEPT SHEEP. 13 AND BY A PROPHET THE LORD BROUGHT
ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT, AND BY A PROPHET WAS HE PRESERVED. 14
EPHRAIM PROVOKED HIM TO ANGER MOST BITTERLY: THEREFORE
SHALL HE LEAVE HIS BLOOD UPON HIM, AND HIS REPROACH SHALL
HIS LORD RETURN UNTO HIM.

ISRAEL; BUT WHEN HE OFFENDED IN BAAL, HE DIED. 2 AND NOW
THEY SIN MORE AND MORE, AND HAVE MADE THEM MOLTEN
IMAGES OF THEIR SILVER, AND IDOLS ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN
UNDERSTANDING, ALL OF IT THE WORK OF THE CRAFTSMEN: THEY
SAY OF THEM, LET THE MEN THAT SACRIFICE KISS THE CALVES. 3
THEREFORE THEY SHALL BE AS THE MORNING CLOUD, AND AS THE
EARLY DEW THAT PASSETH AWAY, AS THE CHAFF THAT IS DRIVEN
WITH THE WHIRLWIND OUT OF THE FLOOR, AND AS THE SMOKE OUT
OF THE CHIMNEY. 4 YET I AM THE LORD THY GOD FROM THE LAND
OF EGYPT, AND THOU SHALT KNOW NO GOD BUT ME: FOR THERE IS
NO SAVIOUR BESIDE ME. 5 I DID KNOW THEE IN THE WILDERNESS,
IN THE LAND OF GREAT DROUGHT. 6 ACCORDING TO THEIR PASTURE,
SO WERE THEY FILLED; THEY WERE FILLED, AND THEIR HEART WAS
EXALTED; THEREFORE HAVE THEY FORGOTTEN ME. 7 THEREFORE I
WILL BE UNTO THEM AS A LION: AS A LEOPARD BY THE WAY WILL I
OBSERVE THEM: 8 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 THEM. 9 O ISRAEL, THOU HAST DESTROYED THYSELF; BUT IN
ME IS THINE HELP. 10 I WILL BE THY KING: WHERE IS ANY OTHER
THAT MAY SAVE THEE IN ALL THY CITIES? AND THY JUDGES OF
WHOM THOU SAIDST, GIVE ME A KING AND PRINCES? 11 I GAVE THEE
A KING IN MINE ANGER, AND TOOK HIM AWAY IN MY WRATH. 12
THE INIQUITY OF EPHRAIM IS BOUND UP; HIS SIN IS HID. 13 THE
SORROWS OF A TRAVAILING WOMAN SHALL COME UPON HIM: HE IS
AN UNWISE SON; FOR HE SHOULD NOT STAY LONG IN THE PLACE OF
THE BREAKING FORTH OF CHILDREN. 14 I WILL RANSOM THEM
FROM THE POWER OF THE GRAVE; I WILL REDEEM THEM FROM
DEATH: O DEATH, I WILL BE THY PLAGUES; O GRAVE, I WILL BE THY
DESTRUCTION: REPENTANCE SHALL BE HID FROM MINE EYES. 15
THOUGH HE BE FRUITFUL AMONG HIS BRETHREN, AN EAST WIND
SHALL COME, THE WIND OF THE LORD SHALL COME UP FROM THE
WILDERNESS, AND HIS SPRING SHALL BECOME DRY, AND HIS
FOUNTAIN SHALL BE DRIED UP: HE SHALL SPOIL THE TREASURE OF

RECEIVE US GRACIOUSLY: SO WILL WE RENDER THE CALVES 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

MERCY. 4 I WILL HEAL THEIR BACKSLIDING, I WILL LOVE THEM
FREELY: FOR MINE ANGER IS TURNED AWAY FROM HIM. 5 I WILL BE
AS THE DEW UNTO ISRAEL: HE SHALL GROW AS THE LILY, AND CAST
FORTH HIS ROOTS AS LEBANON. 6 HIS BRANCHES SHALL SPREAD,
AND HIS BEAUTY SHALL BE AS THE OLIVE TREE, AND HIS SMELL AS
LEBANON. 7 THEY THAT DWELL UNDER HIS SHADOW SHALL RETURN;
THEY SHALL REVIVE AS THE CORN, AND GROW AS THE VINE: THE
SCENT THEREOF SHALL BE AS THE WINE OF LEBANON. 8 EPHRAIM
SHALL SAY, WHAT HAVE I TO DO ANY MORE WITH IDOLS? I HAVE
HEARD HIM, AND OBSERVED HIM: I AM LIKE A GREEN FIR TREE.
FROM ME IS THY FRUIT FOUND. 9 WHO IS WISE, AND HE SHALL
UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS? PRUDENT, AND HE SHALL KNOW

THEREIN.

TRANSGRESSIONS OF ISRAEL UPON HIM I WILL ALSO VISIT THE

WHICH SAY TO THEIR MASTERS, BRING, AND LET US DRINK. 2 THE OF THE EARTH, THE LORD, THE GOD OF HOSTS, IS HIS NAME.
LORD GOD HATH SWORN BY HIS HOLINESS, THAT, LO, THE DAYS
SHALL COME UPON YOU, THAT HE WILL TAKE YOU AWAY WITH

GO OUT AT THE BREACHES, EVERY COW AT THAT WHICH IS BEFORE
HER; AND YE SHALL CAST THEM INTO THE PALACE, SAITH THE LORD.
4 COME TO BETH-EL, AND TRANSGRESS; AT GILGAL MULTIPLY
TRANSGRESSION; AND BRING YOUR SACRIFICES EVERY MORNING,
AND YOUR TITHES AFTER THREE YEARS: 5 AND OFFER A SACRIFICE
OF THANKSGIVING WITH LEAVEN, AND PROCLAIM AND PUBLISH THE
FREE OFFERINGS: FOR THIS LIKETH YOU, O YE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,
SAITH THE LORD GOD. 6 AND I ALSO HAVE GIVEN YOU CLEANNESS
OF TEETH IN ALL YOUR CITIES, AND WANT OF BREAD IN ALL YOUR
PLACES: YET HAVE YE NOT RETURNED UNTO ME, SAITH THE LORD.
7 AND ALSO I HAVE WITHHOLDEN THE RAIN FROM YOU, WHEN
THERE WERE YET THREE MONTHS TO THE HARVEST: AND I CAUSED
IT TO RAIN UPON ONE CITY, AND CAUSED IT NOT TO RAIN UPON
ANOTHER CITY: ONE PIECE WAS RAINED UPON, AND THE PIECE
WHEREUPON IT RAINED NOT WITHERED. 8 SO TWO OR THREE CITIES
WANDERED UNTO ONE CITY, TO DRINK WATER; BUT THEY WERE NOT
SATISFIED: YET HAVE YE NOT RETURNED UNTO ME, SAITH THE LORD.
9 I HAVE SMITTEN YOU WITH BLASTING AND MILDEW: WHEN YOUR
GARDENS AND YOUR VINEYARDS AND YOUR FIG TREES AND YOUR
OLIVE TREES INCREASED, THE PALMERWORM DEVOURED THEM: YET
HAVE YE NOT RETURNED UNTO ME, SAITH THE LORD. 10 I HAVE
SENT AMONG YOU THE PESTILENCE AFTER THE MANNER OF EGYPT:
YOUR YOUNG MEN HAVE I SLAIN WITH THE SWORD, AND HAVE
TAKEN AWAY YOUR HORSES; AND I HAVE MADE THE STINK OF YOUR
CAMPS TO COME UP UNTO YOUR NOSTRILS: YET HAVE YE NOT
RETURNED UNTO ME, SAITH THE LORD. 11 I HAVE OVERTHROWN
SOME OF YOU, AS GOD OVERTHREW SODOM AND GOMORRAH, AND
YE WERE AS A FIREBRAND PLUCKED OUT OF THE BURNING: YET

LAMENTATION, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL. 2 THE VIRGIN OF ISRAEL IS TO MOURNING, AND SUCH AS ARE SKILFUL OF LAMENTATION TO
FALLEN; SHE SHALL NO MORE RISE: SHE IS FORSAKEN UPON HER WAILING. 17 AND IN ALL VINEYARDS SHALL BE WAILING: FOR I WILL
LAND; THERE IS NONE TO RAISE HER UP. 3 FOR THUS SAITH THE PASS THROUGH THEE, SAITH THE LORD. 18 WOE UNTO YOU THAT
LORD GOD; THE CITY THAT WENT OUT BY A THOUSAND SHALL LEAVE DESIRE THE DAY OF THE LORD! TO WHAT END IS IT FOR YOU? THE
AN HUNDRED, AND THAT WHICH WENT FORTH BY AN HUNDRED DAY OF THE LORD IS DARKNESS, AND NOT LIGHT. 19 AS IF A MAN
SHALL LEAVE TEN, TO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. 4 FOR THUS SAITH THE DID FLEE FROM A LION, AND A BEAR MET HIM; OR WENT INTO THE
LORD UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, SEEK YE ME, AND YE SHALL LIVE: HOUSE, AND LEANED HIS HAND ON THE WALL, AND A SERPENT BIT
5 BUT SEEK NOT BETH-EL, NOR ENTER INTO GILGAL, AND PASS NOT HIM. 20 SHALL NOT THE DAY OF THE LORD BE DARKNESS, AND NOT

AND BETH-EL SHALL COME TO NOUGHT. 6 SEEK THE LORD, AND YE DESPISE YOUR FEAST DAYS, AND I WILL NOT SMELL IN YOUR

AND DEVOUR IT, AND THERE BE NONE TO QUENCH IT IN BETH-EL. 7 AND YOUR MEAT OFFERINGS, I WILL NOT ACCEPT THEM: NEITHER
YE WHO TURN JUDGMENT TO WORMWOOD, AND LEAVE OFF WILL I REGARD THE PEACE OFFERINGS OF YOUR FAT BEASTS. 23 TAKE
RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE EARTH, 8 SEEK HIM THAT MAKETH THE THOU AWAY FROM ME THE NOISE OF THY SONGS; FOR I WILL NOT

STRENGTHENETH THE SPOILED AGAINST THE STRONG, SO THAT THE BORNE THE TABERNACLE OF YOUR MOLOCH AND CHIUN YOUR
SPOILED SHALL COME AGAINST THE FORTRESS. 10 THEY HATE HIM IMAGES, THE STAR OF YOUR GOD, WHICH YE MADE TO YOURSELVES.
THAT REBUKETH IN THE GATE, AND THEY ABHOR HIM THAT 27 THEREFORE WILL I CAUSE YOU TO GO INTO CAPTIVITY BEYOND
SPEAKETH UPRIGHTLY. 11 FORASMUCH THEREFORE AS YOUR DAMASCUS, SAITH THE LORD, WHOSE NAME IS THE GOD OF HOSTS.
TREADING IS UPON THE POOR, AND YE TAKE FROM HIM BURDENS
OF WHEAT: YE HAVE BUILT HOUSES OF HEWN STONE, BUT YE SHALL
NOT DWELL IN THEM; YE HAVE PLANTED PLEASANT VINEYARDS, BUT
YE SHALL NOT DRINK WINE OF THEM. 12 FOR I KNOW YOUR
MANIFOLD TRANSGRESSIONS AND YOUR MIGHTY SINS: THEY
AFFLICT THE JUST, THEY TAKE A BRIBE, AND THEY TURN ASIDE THE
POOR IN THE GATE FROM THEIR RIGHT. 13 THEREFORE THE
PRUDENT SHALL KEEP SILENCE IN THAT TIME; FOR IT IS AN EVIL
TIME. 14 SEEK GOOD, AND NOT EVIL, THAT YE MAY LIVE: AND SO
THE LORD, THE GOD OF HOSTS, SHALL BE WITH YOU, AS YE HAVE
SPOKEN. 15 HATE THE EVIL, AND LOVE THE GOOD, AND ESTABLISH
JUDGMENT IN THE GATE: IT MAY BE THAT THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS

1138
 AMOS
HOSTS; AND THEY SHALL AFFLICT YOU FROM THE ENTERING IN OF
CHAPTER 6 HEMATH UNTO THE RIVER OF THE WILDERNESS.

WOE TO THEM THAT ARE AT EASE IN ZION, AND TRUST IN THE

MOUNTAIN OF SAMARIA, WHICH ARE NAMED CHIEF OF THE
NATIONS, TO WHOM THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL CAME! 2 PASS YE UNTO
CALNEH, AND SEE; AND FROM THENCE GO YE TO HAMATH THE
GREAT: THEN GO DOWN TO GATH OF THE PHILISTINES: BE THEY
BETTER THAN THESE KINGDOMS? OR THEIR BORDER GREATER THAN
YOUR BORDER? 3 YE THAT PUT FAR AWAY THE EVIL DAY, AND CAUSE
THE SEAT OF VIOLENCE TO COME NEAR; 4 THAT LIE UPON BEDS OF
IVORY, AND STRETCH THEMSELVES UPON THEIR COUCHES, AND EAT
THE LAMBS OUT OF THE FLOCK, AND THE CALVES OUT OF THE MIDST
OF THE STALL; 5 THAT CHANT TO THE SOUND OF THE VIOL, AND
INVENT TO THEMSELVES INSTRUMENTS OF MUSICK, LIKE DAVID; 6
THAT DRINK WINE IN BOWLS, AND ANOINT THEMSELVES WITH THE
CHIEF OINTMENTS: BUT THEY ARE NOT GRIEVED FOR THE
AFFLICTION OF JOSEPH. 7 THEREFORE NOW SHALL THEY GO CAPTIVE
WITH THE FIRST THAT GO CAPTIVE, AND THE BANQUET OF THEM
THAT STRETCHED THEMSELVES SHALL BE REMOVED. 8 THE LORD
GOD HATH SWORN BY HIMSELF, SAITH THE LORD THE GOD OF HOSTS,
I ABHOR THE EXCELLENCY OF JACOB, AND HATE HIS PALACES:
THEREFORE WILL I DELIVER UP THE CITY WITH ALL THAT IS THEREIN.
9 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, IF THERE REMAIN TEN MEN IN ONE
HOUSE, THAT THEY SHALL DIE. 10 AND A MAN’S UNCLE SHALL TAKE
HIM UP, AND HE THAT BURNETH HIM, TO BRING OUT THE BONES
OUT OF THE HOUSE, AND SHALL SAY UNTO HIM THAT IS BY THE
SIDES OF THE HOUSE, IS THERE YET ANY WITH THEE? AND HE SHALL
SAY, NO. THEN SHALL HE SAY, HOLD THY TONGUE: FOR WE MAY NOT
MAKE MENTION OF THE NAME OF THE LORD. 11 FOR, BEHOLD, THE
LORD COMMANDETH, AND HE WILL SMITE THE GREAT HOUSE WITH
BREACHES, AND THE LITTLE HOUSE WITH CLEFTS. 12 SHALL HORSES
RUN UPON THE ROCK? WILL ONE PLOW THERE WITH OXEN? FOR YE
HAVE TURNED JUDGMENT INTO GALL, AND THE FRUIT OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS INTO HEMLOCK: 13 YE WHICH REJOICE IN A THING
OF NOUGHT, WHICH SAY, HAVE WE NOT TAKEN TO US HORNS BY
OUR OWN STRENGTH? 14 BUT, BEHOLD, I WILL RAISE UP AGAINST
YOU A NATION, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL, SAITH THE LORD THE GOD OF

1139
 AMOS
PEOPLE ISRAEL. 16 NOW THEREFORE HEAR THOU THE WORD OF THE
CHAPTER 7 LORD: THOU SAYEST, PROPHESY NOT AGAINST ISRAEL, AND DROP
NOT THY WORD AGAINST THE HOUSE OF ISAAC. 17 THEREFORE THUS
THUS HATH THE LORD GOD SHEWED UNTO ME; AND, BEHOLD, HE SAITH THE LORD; THY WIFE SHALL BE AN HARLOT IN THE CITY, AND
FORMED GRASSHOPPERS IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOOTING UP THY SONS AND THY DAUGHTERS SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD, AND
OF THE LATTER GROWTH; AND, LO, IT WAS THE LATTER GROWTH THY LAND SHALL BE DIVIDED BY LINE; AND THOU SHALT DIE IN A
AFTER THE KING’S MOWINGS. 2 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT WHEN POLLUTED LAND: AND ISRAEL SHALL SURELY GO INTO CAPTIVITY
THEY HAD MADE AN END OF EATING THE GRASS OF THE LAND, THEN FORTH OF HIS LAND.
I SAID, O LORD GOD, FORGIVE, I BESEECH THEE: BY WHOM SHALL
JACOB ARISE? FOR HE IS SMALL. 3 THE LORD REPENTED FOR THIS:
IT SHALL NOT BE, SAITH THE LORD. 4 THUS HATH THE LORD GOD
SHEWED UNTO ME: AND, BEHOLD, THE LORD GOD CALLED TO
CONTEND BY FIRE, AND IT DEVOURED THE GREAT DEEP, AND DID
EAT UP A PART. 5 THEN SAID I, O LORD GOD, CEASE, I BESEECH THEE:
BY WHOM SHALL JACOB ARISE? FOR HE IS SMALL. 6 THE LORD
REPENTED FOR THIS: THIS ALSO SHALL NOT BE, SAITH THE LORD
GOD. 7 THUS HE SHEWED ME: AND, BEHOLD, THE LORD STOOD
UPON A WALL MADE BY A PLUMBLINE, WITH A PLUMBLINE IN HIS
HAND. 8 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO ME, AMOS, WHAT SEEST THOU?
AND I SAID, A PLUMBLINE. THEN SAID THE LORD, BEHOLD, I WILL
SET A PLUMBLINE IN THE MIDST OF MY PEOPLE ISRAEL: I WILL NOT
AGAIN PASS BY THEM ANY MORE: 9 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 SURELY
BE LED AWAY CAPTIVE OUT OF THEIR OWN LAND. 12 ALSO AMAZIAH
SAID UNTO AMOS, O THOU SEER, GO, FLEE THEE AWAY INTO THE
LAND OF JUDAH, AND THERE EAT BREAD, AND PROPHESY THERE: 13
BUT PROPHESY NOT AGAIN ANY MORE AT BETH-EL: FOR IT IS THE
KING’S CHAPEL, AND IT IS THE KING’S COURT. 14 THEN ANSWERED
AMOS, AND SAID TO AMAZIAH, I WAS NO PROPHET, NEITHER WAS I
A PROPHET’S SON; BUT I WAS AN HERDMAN, AND A GATHERER OF
SYCOMORE FRUIT: 15 AND THE LORD TOOK ME AS I FOLLOWED THE
FLOCK, AND THE LORD SAID UNTO ME, GO, PROPHESY UNTO MY

1140
 AMOS
SAY, THY GOD, O DAN, LIVETH; AND, THE MANNER OF BEER-SHEBA
CHAPTER 8 LIVETH; EVEN THEY SHALL FALL, AND NEVER RISE UP AGAIN.

THUS HATH THE LORD GOD SHEWED UNTO ME: AND BEHOLD A
BASKET OF SUMMER FRUIT. 2 AND HE SAID, AMOS, WHAT SEEST
THOU? AND I SAID, A BASKET OF SUMMER FRUIT. THEN SAID THE
LORD UNTO ME, THE END IS COME UPON MY PEOPLE OF ISRAEL; I
WILL NOT AGAIN PASS BY THEM ANY MORE. 3 AND THE SONGS OF
THE TEMPLE SHALL BE HOWLINGS IN THAT DAY, SAITH THE LORD
GOD: THERE SHALL BE MANY DEAD BODIES IN EVERY PLACE; THEY
SHALL CAST THEM FORTH WITH SILENCE. 4 HEAR THIS, O YE THAT
SWALLOW UP THE NEEDY, EVEN TO MAKE THE POOR OF THE LAND
TO FAIL, 5 SAYING, WHEN WILL THE NEW MOON BE GONE, THAT WE
MAY SELL CORN? AND THE SABBATH, THAT WE MAY SET FORTH
WHEAT, MAKING THE EPHAH SMALL, AND THE SHEKEL GREAT, AND
FALSIFYING THE BALANCES BY DECEIT? 6 THAT WE MAY BUY THE
POOR FOR SILVER, AND THE NEEDY FOR A PAIR OF SHOES; YEA, AND
SELL THE REFUSE OF THE WHEAT? 7 THE LORD HATH SWORN BY THE
EXCELLENCY OF JACOB, SURELY I WILL NEVER FORGET ANY OF
THEIR WORKS. 8 SHALL NOT THE LAND TREMBLE FOR THIS, AND
EVERY ONE MOURN THAT DWELLETH THEREIN? AND IT SHALL RISE
UP WHOLLY AS A FLOOD; AND IT SHALL BE CAST OUT AND DROWNED,
AS BY THE FLOOD OF EGYPT. 9 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT
DAY, SAITH THE LORD GOD, THAT I WILL CAUSE THE SUN TO GO
DOWN AT NOON, AND I WILL DARKEN THE EARTH IN THE CLEAR DAY:
10 AND I WILL TURN YOUR FEASTS INTO MOURNING, AND ALL YOUR
SONGS INTO LAMENTATION; AND I WILL BRING UP SACKCLOTH
UPON ALL LOINS, AND BALDNESS UPON EVERY HEAD; AND I WILL
MAKE IT AS THE MOURNING OF AN ONLY SON, AND THE END
THEREOF AS A BITTER DAY. 11 BEHOLD, THE DAYS COME, SAITH THE
LORD GOD, THAT I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, NOT A
FAMINE OF BREAD, NOR A THIRST FOR WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE
WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 AND THEY SHALL WANDER FROM SEA TO
SEA, AND FROM THE NORTH EVEN TO THE EAST, THEY SHALL RUN
TO AND FRO TO SEEK THE WORD OF THE LORD, AND SHALL NOT FIND
IT. 13 IN THAT DAY SHALL THE FAIR VIRGINS AND YOUNG MEN FAINT
FOR THIRST. 14 THEY THAT SWEAR BY THE SIN OF SAMARIA, AND

1141
 AMOS
WILL RAISE UP HIS RUINS, AND I WILL BUILD IT AS IN THE DAYS OF
CHAPTER 9 OLD: 12 THAT THEY MAY POSSESS THE REMNANT OF EDOM, AND OF
ALL THE HEATHEN, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SAITH THE
I SAW THE LORD STANDING UPON THE ALTAR: AND HE SAID, SMITE LORD THAT DOETH THIS. 13 BEHOLD, THE DAYS COME, SAITH THE
THE LINTEL OF THE DOOR, THAT THE POSTS MAY SHAKE: AND CUT LORD, THAT THE PLOWMAN SHALL OVERTAKE THE REAPER, AND
THEM IN THE HEAD, ALL OF THEM; AND I WILL SLAY THE LAST OF THE TREADER OF GRAPES HIM THAT SOWETH SEED; AND THE
THEM WITH THE SWORD: HE THAT FLEETH OF THEM SHALL NOT MOUNTAINS SHALL DROP SWEET WINE, AND ALL THE HILLS SHALL
FLEE AWAY, AND HE THAT ESCAPETH OF THEM SHALL NOT BE MELT. 14 AND I WILL BRING AGAIN THE CAPTIVITY OF MY PEOPLE
DELIVERED. 2 THOUGH THEY DIG INTO HELL, THENCE SHALL MINE OF ISRAEL, AND THEY SHALL BUILD THE WASTE CITIES, AND INHABIT
HAND TAKE THEM; THOUGH THEY CLIMB UP TO HEAVEN, THENCE THEM; AND THEY SHALL PLANT VINEYARDS, AND DRINK THE WINE
WILL I BRING THEM DOWN: 3 AND THOUGH THEY HIDE THEMSELVES THEREOF; THEY SHALL ALSO MAKE GARDENS, AND EAT THE FRUIT
IN THE TOP OF CARMEL, I WILL SEARCH AND TAKE THEM OUT OF THEM. 15 AND I WILL PLANT THEM UPON THEIR LAND, AND THEY
THENCE; AND THOUGH THEY BE HID FROM MY SIGHT IN THE SHALL NO MORE BE PULLED UP OUT OF THEIR LAND WHICH I HAVE
BOTTOM OF THE SEA, THENCE WILL I COMMAND THE SERPENT, AND GIVEN THEM, SAITH THE LORD THY GOD.
HE SHALL BITE THEM: 4 AND THOUGH THEY GO INTO CAPTIVITY
BEFORE THEIR ENEMIES, THENCE WILL I COMMAND THE SWORD,
AND IT SHALL SLAY THEM: AND I WILL SET MINE EYES UPON THEM
FOR EVIL, AND NOT FOR GOOD. 5 AND THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS IS
HE THAT TOUCHETH THE LAND, AND IT SHALL MELT, AND ALL THAT
DWELL THEREIN SHALL MOURN: AND IT SHALL RISE UP WHOLLY
LIKE A FLOOD; AND SHALL BE DROWNED, AS BY THE FLOOD OF
EGYPT. 6 IT IS HE THAT BUILDETH HIS STORIES IN THE HEAVEN, AND
HATH FOUNDED HIS TROOP IN THE EARTH; HE THAT CALLETH FOR
THE WATERS OF THE SEA, AND POURETH THEM OUT UPON THE FACE
OF THE EARTH: THE LORD IS HIS NAME. 7 ARE YE NOT AS CHILDREN
OF THE ETHIOPIANS UNTO ME, O CHILDREN OF ISRAEL? SAITH THE
LORD. HAVE NOT I BROUGHT UP ISRAEL OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT?
AND THE PHILISTINES FROM CAPHTOR, AND THE SYRIANS FROM KIR?
8 BEHOLD, THE EYES OF THE LORD GOD ARE UPON THE SINFUL
KINGDOM, AND I WILL DESTROY IT FROM OFF THE FACE OF THE
EARTH; SAVING THAT I WILL NOT UTTERLY DESTROY THE HOUSE OF
JACOB, SAITH THE LORD. 9 FOR, LO, I WILL COMMAND, AND I WILL
SIFT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AMONG ALL NATIONS, LIKE AS CORN IS
SIFTED IN A SIEVE, YET SHALL NOT THE LEAST GRAIN FALL UPON
THE EARTH. 10 ALL THE SINNERS OF MY PEOPLE SHALL DIE BY THE
SWORD, WHICH SAY, THE EVIL SHALL NOT OVERTAKE NOR PREVENT
US. 11 IN THAT DAY WILL I RAISE UP THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID
THAT IS FALLEN, AND CLOSE UP THE BREACHES THEREOF; AND I

CHAPTER 1 NOT HAVE LOOKED ON THEIR AFFLICTION IN THE DAY OF THEIR
CALAMITY, NOR HAVE LAID HANDS ON THEIR SUBSTANCE IN THE
THE VISION OF OBADIAH. THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD CONCERNING DAY OF THEIR CALAMITY; 14 NEITHER SHOULDEST THOU HAVE
EDOM; WE HAVE HEARD A RUMOUR FROM THE LORD, AND AN STOOD IN THE CROSSWAY, TO CUT OFF THOSE OF HIS THAT DID

RISE UP AGAINST HER IN BATTLE. 2 BEHOLD, I HAVE MADE THEE HIS THAT DID REMAIN IN THE DAY OF DISTRESS. 15 FOR THE DAY OF
SMALL AMONG THE HEATHEN: THOU ART GREATLY DESPISED. 3 THE THE LORD IS NEAR UPON ALL THE HEATHEN: AS THOU HAST DONE,
PRIDE OF THINE HEART HATH DECEIVED THEE, THOU THAT IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO THEE: THY REWARD SHALL RETURN UPON

HAVE STOLEN TILL THEY HAD ENOUGH? IF THE GRAPEGATHERERS AND THE HOUSE OF JACOB SHALL BE A FIRE, AND THE HOUSE OF

THE THINGS OF ESAU SEARCHED OUT! HOW ARE HIS HIDDEN THINGS SHALL KINDLE IN THEM, AND DEVOUR THEM; AND THERE SHALL
SOUGHT UP! 7 ALL THE MEN OF THY CONFEDERACY HAVE BROUGHT NOT BE ANY REMAINING OF THE HOUSE OF ESAU; FOR THE LORD

WROUGHT, AND WAS TEMPESTUOUS AGAINST THEM. 14
CHAPTER 1 WHEREFORE THEY CRIED UNTO THE LORD, AND SAID, WE BESEECH
THEE, O LORD, WE BESEECH THEE, LET US NOT PERISH FOR THIS
NOW THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO JONAH THE SON OF MAN’S LIFE, AND LAY NOT UPON US INNOCENT BLOOD: FOR THOU,
AMITTAI, SAYING, 2 ARISE, GO TO NINEVEH, THAT GREAT CITY, AND O LORD, HAST DONE AS IT PLEASED THEE. 15 SO THEY TOOK UP
CRY AGAINST IT; FOR THEIR WICKEDNESS IS COME UP BEFORE ME. JONAH, AND CAST HIM FORTH INTO THE SEA: AND THE SEA CEASED
3 BUT JONAH ROSE UP TO FLEE UNTO TARSHISH FROM THE FROM HER RAGING. 16 THEN THE MEN FEARED THE LORD
PRESENCE OF THE LORD, AND WENT DOWN TO JOPPA; AND HE EXCEEDINGLY, AND OFFERED A SACRIFICE UNTO THE LORD, AND
FOUND A SHIP GOING TO TARSHISH: SO HE PAID THE FARE THEREOF, MADE VOWS. 17 NOW THE LORD HAD PREPARED A GREAT FISH TO

FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD. 4 BUT THE LORD SENT OUT A THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS.
GREAT WIND INTO THE SEA, AND THERE WAS A MIGHTY TEMPEST IN
THE SEA, SO THAT THE SHIP WAS LIKE TO BE BROKEN. 5 THEN THE
MARINERS WERE AFRAID, AND CRIED EVERY MAN UNTO HIS GOD,
AND CAST FORTH THE WARES THAT WERE IN THE SHIP INTO THE SEA,
TO LIGHTEN IT OF THEM. BUT JONAH WAS GONE DOWN INTO THE
SIDES OF THE SHIP; AND HE LAY, AND WAS FAST ASLEEP. 6 SO THE
SHIPMASTER CAME TO HIM, AND SAID UNTO 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 THE LOT FELL UPON JONAH. 8 THEN SAID 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 OF WHAT PEOPLE ART THOU?
9 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, I AM AN HEBREW; AND I FEAR THE
LORD, THE GOD OF HEAVEN, WHICH HATH MADE THE SEA AND THE
DRY LAND. 10 THEN WERE THE MEN EXCEEDINGLY AFRAID, AND
SAID UNTO HIM, WHY HAST THOU DONE THIS? FOR THE MEN KNEW
THAT HE FLED FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, BECAUSE HE HAD
TOLD THEM. 11 THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, WHAT SHALL WE DO
UNTO THEE, THAT THE SEA MAY BE CALM UNTO US? FOR THE SEA
WROUGHT, AND WAS 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
TEMPEST IS UPON YOU. 13 NEVERTHELESS THE MEN ROWED HARD
TO BRING IT TO THE LAND; BUT THEY COULD NOT: FOR THE SEA

CHAPTER 2
THEN JONAH PRAYED UNTO THE LORD HIS GOD OUT OF THE FISH’S
BELLY, 2 AND SAID, I CRIED BY REASON OF MINE AFFLICTION UNTO
THE LORD, AND HE HEARD ME; OUT OF THE BELLY OF HELL CRIED I,
AND THOU HEARDEST MY VOICE. 3 FOR THOU HADST CAST ME INTO
THE DEEP, IN THE MIDST OF THE SEAS; AND THE FLOODS
COMPASSED ME ABOUT: ALL THY BILLOWS AND THY WAVES PASSED
OVER ME. 4 THEN I SAID, I AM CAST OUT OF THY SIGHT; YET I WILL
LOOK AGAIN TOWARD THY HOLY TEMPLE. 5 THE WATERS
COMPASSED ME ABOUT, EVEN TO THE SOUL: THE DEPTH CLOSED ME
ROUND ABOUT, THE WEEDS WERE WRAPPED ABOUT MY HEAD. 6 I
WENT DOWN TO THE BOTTOMS OF THE MOUNTAINS; THE EARTH
WITH HER BARS WAS ABOUT ME FOR EVER: YET HAST THOU
BROUGHT UP MY LIFE FROM CORRUPTION, O LORD MY GOD. 7 WHEN
MY SOUL FAINTED WITHIN ME I REMEMBERED THE LORD: AND MY
PRAYER CAME IN UNTO THEE, INTO THINE HOLY TEMPLE. 8 THEY
THAT OBSERVE LYING VANITIES FORSAKE THEIR OWN MERCY. 9 BUT
I WILL SACRIFICE UNTO THEE WITH THE VOICE OF THANKSGIVING; I
WILL PAY THAT THAT I HAVE VOWED. SALVATION IS OF THE LORD.
10 AND THE LORD SPAKE UNTO THE FISH, AND IT VOMITED OUT

CHAPTER 3
AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO JONAH THE SECOND TIME,
SAYING, 2 ARISE, GO UNTO NINEVEH, THAT GREAT CITY, AND
PREACH UNTO IT THE PREACHING THAT I BID THEE. 3 SO JONAH
AROSE, AND WENT UNTO NINEVEH, ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF
THE LORD. NOW NINEVEH WAS AN EXCEEDING GREAT CITY OF
THREE DAYS’ JOURNEY. 4 AND JONAH BEGAN TO ENTER INTO THE
CITY A DAY’S JOURNEY, AND HE CRIED, AND SAID, YET FORTY DAYS,
AND NINEVEH SHALL BE OVERTHROWN. 5 SO THE PEOPLE OF
NINEVEH BELIEVED GOD, AND PROCLAIMED A FAST, AND PUT ON
SACKCLOTH, FROM THE GREATEST OF THEM EVEN TO THE LEAST OF
THEM. 6 FOR WORD CAME UNTO THE KING OF NINEVEH, AND HE
AROSE FROM HIS THRONE, AND HE LAID HIS ROBE FROM HIM, AND
COVERED HIM WITH SACKCLOTH, AND SAT IN ASHES. 7 AND HE
CAUSED IT TO BE PROCLAIMED AND PUBLISHED THROUGH NINEVEH
BY THE DECREE OF THE KING AND HIS NOBLES, SAYING, LET
NEITHER MAN NOR BEAST, HERD NOR FLOCK, TASTE ANY THING:
LET THEM NOT FEED, NOR DRINK WATER: 8 BUT LET MAN AND BEAST
BE COVERED WITH SACKCLOTH, AND CRY MIGHTILY UNTO GOD: YEA,
LET THEM TURN EVERY ONE FROM HIS EVIL WAY, AND FROM THE
VIOLENCE THAT IS IN THEIR HANDS. 9 WHO CAN TELL IF GOD WILL
TURN AND REPENT, AND TURN AWAY FROM HIS FIERCE ANGER,
THAT WE PERISH NOT? 10 AND GOD SAW THEIR WORKS, THAT THEY
TURNED FROM THEIR EVIL WAY; AND GOD REPENTED OF THE EVIL,
THAT HE HAD SAID THAT HE WOULD DO UNTO THEM; AND HE DID IT
NOT.

CHAPTER 4
BUT IT DISPLEASED JONAH EXCEEDINGLY, AND HE WAS VERY
ANGRY. 2 AND HE PRAYED UNTO THE LORD, AND SAID, I PRAY THEE,
O LORD, WAS NOT THIS MY SAYING, WHEN I WAS YET IN MY
COUNTRY? THEREFORE I FLED BEFORE UNTO TARSHISH: FOR I KNEW
THAT THOU ART A GRACIOUS GOD, AND MERCIFUL, SLOW TO ANGER,
AND OF GREAT KINDNESS, AND REPENTEST THEE OF THE EVIL. 3
THEREFORE NOW, O LORD, TAKE, I BESEECH THEE, MY LIFE FROM
ME; FOR IT IS BETTER FOR ME TO DIE THAN TO LIVE. 4 THEN SAID
THE LORD, DOEST THOU WELL TO BE ANGRY? 5 SO JONAH WENT OUT
OF THE CITY, AND SAT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CITY, AND THERE
MADE HIM A BOOTH, AND SAT UNDER IT IN THE SHADOW, TILL HE
MIGHT SEE WHAT WOULD BECOME OF THE CITY. 6 AND THE LORD
GOD PREPARED A GOURD, AND MADE IT TO COME UP OVER JONAH,
THAT IT MIGHT BE A SHADOW OVER HIS HEAD, TO DELIVER HIM
FROM HIS GRIEF. SO JONAH WAS EXCEEDING GLAD OF THE GOURD.
7 BUT GOD PREPARED A WORM WHEN THE MORNING ROSE THE
NEXT DAY, AND IT SMOTE THE GOURD THAT IT WITHERED. 8 AND IT
CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE SUN DID ARISE, THAT GOD PREPARED A
VEHEMENT EAST WIND; AND THE SUN BEAT UPON THE HEAD OF
JONAH, THAT HE FAINTED, AND WISHED IN HIMSELF TO DIE, AND
SAID, IT IS BETTER FOR ME TO DIE THAN TO LIVE. 9 AND GOD SAID
TO JONAH, DOEST THOU WELL TO BE ANGRY FOR THE GOURD? AND
HE SAID, I DO WELL TO BE ANGRY, EVEN UNTO DEATH. 10 THEN SAID
THE LORD, THOU HAST HAD PITY ON THE GOURD, FOR THE WHICH
THOU HAST NOT LABOURED, NEITHER MADEST IT GROW; WHICH
CAME UP IN A NIGHT, AND PERISHED IN A NIGHT: 11 AND SHOULD
NOT I SPARE NINEVEH, THAT GREAT CITY, WHEREIN ARE MORE
THAN SIXSCORE THOUSAND PERSONS THAT CANNOT DISCERN
BETWEEN THEIR RIGHT HAND AND THEIR LEFT HAND; AND ALSO

THE TRANSGRESSIONS OF ISRAEL WERE FOUND IN THEE. 14
CHAPTER 1 THEREFORE SHALT THOU GIVE PRESENTS TO MORESHETH-GATH:
THE HOUSES OF ACHZIB SHALL BE A LIE TO THE KINGS OF ISRAEL.
15 YET WILL I BRING AN HEIR UNTO THEE, O INHABITANT OF
THE WORD OF THE LORD THAT CAME TO MICAH THE MORASTHITE MARESHAH: HE SHALL COME UNTO ADULLAM THE GLORY OF ISRAEL.
IN THE DAYS OF JOTHAM, AHAZ, AND HEZEKIAH, KINGS OF JUDAH, 16 MAKE THEE BALD, AND POLL THEE FOR THY DELICATE CHILDREN;
WHICH HE SAW CONCERNING SAMARIA AND JERUSALEM. 2 HEAR, ENLARGE THY BALDNESS AS THE EAGLE; FOR THEY ARE GONE INTO
ALL YE PEOPLE; HEARKEN, O EARTH, AND ALL THAT THEREIN IS: AND CAPTIVITY FROM THEE.
LET THE LORD GOD BE WITNESS AGAINST YOU, THE LORD FROM HIS
HOLY TEMPLE. 3 FOR, BEHOLD, THE LORD COMETH FORTH OUT OF
HIS PLACE, AND WILL COME DOWN, AND TREAD UPON THE HIGH
PLACES OF THE EARTH. 4 AND THE MOUNTAINS SHALL BE MOLTEN
UNDER HIM, AND THE VALLEYS SHALL BE CLEFT, AS WAX BEFORE
THE FIRE, AND AS THE WATERS THAT ARE POURED DOWN A STEEP
PLACE. 5 FOR THE TRANSGRESSION OF JACOB IS ALL THIS, AND FOR
THE SINS OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. WHAT IS THE TRANSGRESSION
OF JACOB? IS IT NOT SAMARIA? AND WHAT ARE THE HIGH PLACES
OF JUDAH? ARE THEY NOT JERUSALEM? 6 THEREFORE I WILL MAKE
SAMARIA AS AN HEAP OF THE FIELD, AND AS PLANTINGS OF A
VINEYARD: AND I WILL POUR DOWN THE STONES THEREOF INTO THE
VALLEY, AND I WILL DISCOVER THE FOUNDATIONS THEREOF. 7 AND
ALL THE GRAVEN IMAGES THEREOF SHALL BE BEATEN TO PIECES,
AND ALL THE HIRES THEREOF SHALL BE BURNED WITH THE FIRE,
AND ALL THE IDOLS THEREOF WILL I LAY DESOLATE: FOR SHE
GATHERED IT OF THE HIRE OF AN HARLOT, AND THEY SHALL RETURN
TO THE HIRE OF AN HARLOT. 8 THEREFORE I WILL WAIL AND HOWL,
I WILL GO STRIPPED AND NAKED: I WILL MAKE A WAILING LIKE THE
DRAGONS, AND MOURNING AS THE OWLS. 9 FOR HER WOUND IS
INCURABLE; FOR IT IS COME UNTO JUDAH; HE IS COME UNTO THE

THYSELF IN THE DUST. 11 PASS YE AWAY, THOU INHABITANT OF
SAPHIR, HAVING THY SHAME NAKED: THE INHABITANT OF ZAANAN
CAME NOT FORTH IN THE MOURNING OF BETH-EZEL; HE SHALL
RECEIVE OF YOU HIS STANDING. 12 FOR THE INHABITANT OF
MAROTH WAITED CAREFULLY FOR GOOD: BUT EVIL CAME DOWN
FROM THE LORD UNTO THE GATE OF JERUSALEM. 13 O THOU
INHABITANT OF LACHISH, BIND THE CHARIOT TO THE SWIFT BEAST:
SHE IS THE BEGINNING OF THE SIN TO THE DAUGHTER OF ZION: FOR

WOE TO THEM THAT DEVISE INIQUITY, AND WORK EVIL UPON THEIR

IT IS IN THE POWER OF THEIR HAND. 2 AND THEY COVET FIELDS,
AND TAKE THEM BY VIOLENCE; AND HOUSES, AND TAKE THEM AWAY:
SO THEY OPPRESS A MAN AND HIS HOUSE, EVEN A MAN AND HIS
HERITAGE. 3 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD; BEHOLD, AGAINST
THIS FAMILY DO I DEVISE AN EVIL, FROM WHICH YE SHALL NOT
REMOVE YOUR NECKS; NEITHER SHALL YE GO HAUGHTILY: FOR THIS
TIME IS EVIL. 4 IN THAT DAY SHALL ONE TAKE UP A PARABLE

SAY, WE BE UTTERLY SPOILED: HE HATH CHANGED THE PORTION OF

THEY SHALL NOT PROPHESY TO THEM, THAT THEY SHALL NOT TAKE

MEN AVERSE FROM WAR. 9 THE WOMEN OF MY PEOPLE HAVE YE
CAST OUT FROM THEIR PLEASANT HOUSES; FROM THEIR CHILDREN
HAVE YE TAKEN AWAY MY GLORY FOR EVER. 10 ARISE YE, AND
DEPART; FOR THIS IS NOT YOUR REST: BECAUSE IT IS POLLUTED, IT
SHALL DESTROY YOU, EVEN WITH A SORE DESTRUCTION. 11 IF A
MAN WALKING IN THE SPIRIT AND FALSEHOOD DO LIE, SAYING, I
WILL PROPHESY UNTO THEE OF WINE AND OF STRONG DRINK; HE
SHALL EVEN BE THE PROPHET OF THIS PEOPLE. 12 I WILL SURELY
ASSEMBLE, O JACOB, ALL OF THEE; I WILL SURELY GATHER THE
REMNANT OF ISRAEL; I WILL PUT THEM TOGETHER AS THE SHEEP OF

CHAPTER 3
AND I SAID, HEAR, I PRAY YOU, O HEADS OF JACOB, AND YE PRINCES
OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL; IS IT NOT FOR YOU TO KNOW JUDGMENT?
2 WHO HATE THE GOOD, AND LOVE THE EVIL; WHO PLUCK OFF THEIR
SKIN FROM OFF THEM, AND THEIR FLESH FROM OFF THEIR BONES;
3 WHO ALSO EAT THE FLESH OF MY PEOPLE, AND FLAY THEIR SKIN
FROM OFF THEM; AND THEY BREAK THEIR BONES, AND CHOP THEM
IN PIECES, AS FOR THE POT, AND AS FLESH WITHIN THE CALDRON.
4 THEN SHALL THEY CRY UNTO THE LORD, BUT HE WILL NOT HEAR
THEM: HE WILL EVEN HIDE HIS FACE FROM THEM AT THAT TIME, AS
THEY HAVE BEHAVED THEMSELVES ILL IN THEIR DOINGS. 5 THUS
SAITH THE LORD CONCERNING THE PROPHETS THAT MAKE MY
PEOPLE ERR, THAT BITE WITH THEIR TEETH, AND CRY, PEACE; AND
HE THAT PUTTETH NOT INTO THEIR MOUTHS, THEY EVEN PREPARE
WAR AGAINST HIM. 6 THEREFORE NIGHT SHALL BE UNTO YOU, THAT
YE SHALL NOT HAVE A VISION; AND IT SHALL BE DARK UNTO YOU,
THAT YE SHALL NOT DIVINE; AND THE SUN SHALL GO DOWN OVER
THE PROPHETS, AND THE DAY SHALL BE DARK OVER THEM. 7 THEN
SHALL THE SEERS BE ASHAMED, AND THE DIVINERS CONFOUNDED:
YEA, THEY SHALL ALL COVER THEIR LIPS; FOR THERE IS NO ANSWER
OF GOD. 8 BUT TRULY I AM FULL OF POWER BY THE SPIRIT OF THE
LORD, AND OF JUDGMENT, AND OF MIGHT, TO DECLARE UNTO
JACOB HIS TRANSGRESSION, AND TO ISRAEL HIS SIN. 9 HEAR THIS, I
PRAY YOU, YE HEADS OF THE HOUSE OF JACOB, AND PRINCES OF
THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THAT ABHOR JUDGMENT, AND PERVERT ALL
EQUITY. 10 THEY BUILD UP ZION WITH BLOOD, AND JERUSALEM
WITH INIQUITY. 11 THE HEADS THEREOF JUDGE FOR REWARD, AND
THE PRIESTS THEREOF TEACH FOR HIRE, AND THE PROPHETS
THEREOF DIVINE FOR MONEY: YET WILL THEY LEAN UPON THE LORD,
AND SAY, IS NOT THE LORD AMONG US? NONE EVIL CAN COME UPON
US. 12 THEREFORE SHALL ZION FOR YOUR SAKE BE PLOWED AS A
FIELD, AND JERUSALEM SHALL BECOME HEAPS, AND THE
MOUNTAIN OF THE HOUSE AS THE HIGH PLACES OF THE FOREST.

 MICAH
HER BE DEFILED, AND LET OUR EYE LOOK UPON ZION. 12 BUT THEY
CHAPTER 4 KNOW NOT THE THOUGHTS OF THE LORD, NEITHER UNDERSTAND
THEY HIS COUNSEL: FOR HE SHALL GATHER THEM AS THE SHEAVES
BUT IN THE LAST DAYS IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT THE INTO THE FLOOR. 13 ARISE AND THRESH, O DAUGHTER OF ZION: FOR
MOUNTAIN OF THE HOUSE OF THE LORD SHALL BE ESTABLISHED IN I WILL MAKE THINE HORN IRON, AND I WILL MAKE THY HOOFS
THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS, AND IT SHALL BE EXALTED ABOVE THE BRASS: AND THOU SHALT BEAT IN PIECES MANY PEOPLE: AND I WILL
HILLS; AND PEOPLE SHALL FLOW UNTO IT. 2 AND MANY NATIONS CONSECRATE THEIR GAIN UNTO THE LORD, AND THEIR SUBSTANCE
SHALL COME, AND SAY, COME, AND LET US GO UP TO THE UNTO THE LORD OF THE WHOLE EARTH.
MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD, AND TO THE HOUSE OF THE GOD OF JACOB;
AND HE WILL TEACH US OF HIS WAYS, AND WE WILL WALK IN HIS
PATHS: FOR THE LAW SHALL GO FORTH OF ZION, AND THE WORD OF
THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM. 3 AND HE SHALL JUDGE AMONG MANY
PEOPLE, AND REBUKE STRONG NATIONS AFAR OFF; AND THEY SHALL
BEAT THEIR SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES, AND THEIR SPEARS INTO
PRUNINGHOOKS: NATION SHALL NOT LIFT UP A SWORD AGAINST
NATION, NEITHER SHALL THEY LEARN WAR ANY MORE. 4 BUT THEY
SHALL SIT EVERY MAN UNDER HIS VINE AND UNDER HIS FIG TREE;
AND NONE SHALL MAKE THEM AFRAID: FOR THE MOUTH OF THE
LORD OF HOSTS HATH SPOKEN IT. 5 FOR ALL PEOPLE WILL WALK
EVERY ONE IN THE NAME OF HIS GOD, AND WE WILL WALK IN THE
NAME OF THE LORD OUR GOD FOR EVER AND EVER. 6 IN THAT DAY,
SAITH THE LORD, WILL I ASSEMBLE HER THAT HALTETH, AND I WILL
GATHER HER THAT IS DRIVEN OUT, AND HER THAT I HAVE AFFLICTED;
7 AND I WILL MAKE HER THAT HALTED A REMNANT, AND HER THAT
WAS CAST FAR OFF A STRONG NATION: AND THE LORD SHALL REIGN
OVER THEM IN MOUNT ZION FROM HENCEFORTH, EVEN FOR EVER.
8 AND THOU, O TOWER OF THE FLOCK, THE STRONG HOLD OF THE
DAUGHTER OF ZION, UNTO THEE SHALL IT COME, EVEN THE FIRST
DOMINION; THE KINGDOM SHALL COME TO THE DAUGHTER OF
JERUSALEM. 9 NOW WHY DOST THOU CRY OUT ALOUD? IS THERE NO
KING IN THEE? IS THY COUNSELLER PERISHED? FOR PANGS HAVE
TAKEN THEE AS A WOMAN IN TRAVAIL. 10 BE IN PAIN, AND LABOUR
TO BRING FORTH, O DAUGHTER OF ZION, LIKE A WOMAN IN TRAVAIL:
FOR NOW SHALT THOU GO FORTH OUT OF THE CITY, AND THOU
SHALT DWELL IN THE FIELD, AND THOU SHALT GO EVEN TO
BABYLON; THERE SHALT THOU BE DELIVERED; THERE THE LORD
SHALL REDEEM THEE FROM THE HAND OF THINE ENEMIES. 11 NOW
ALSO MANY NATIONS ARE GATHERED AGAINST THEE, THAT SAY, LET

 MICAH
THY GRAVEN IMAGES ALSO WILL I CUT OFF, AND THY STANDING
CHAPTER 5 IMAGES OUT OF THE MIDST OF THEE; AND THOU SHALT NO MORE
WORSHIP THE WORK OF THINE HANDS. 14 AND I WILL PLUCK UP
NOW GATHER THYSELF IN TROOPS, O DAUGHTER OF TROOPS: HE THY GROVES OUT OF THE MIDST OF THEE: SO WILL I DESTROY THY
HATH LAID SIEGE AGAINST US: THEY SHALL SMITE THE JUDGE OF CITIES. 15 AND I WILL EXECUTE VENGEANCE IN ANGER AND FURY
ISRAEL WITH A ROD UPON THE CHEEK. 2 BUT THOU, BETH-LEHEM UPON THE HEATHEN, SUCH AS THEY HAVE NOT HEARD.
EPHRATAH, THOUGH THOU BE LITTLE AMONG THE THOUSANDS OF
JUDAH, YET OUT OF THEE SHALL HE COME FORTH UNTO ME THAT IS
TO BE RULER IN ISRAEL; WHOSE GOINGS FORTH HAVE BEEN FROM
OF OLD, FROM EVERLASTING. 3 THEREFORE WILL HE GIVE THEM UP,
UNTIL THE TIME THAT SHE WHICH TRAVAILETH HATH BROUGHT
FORTH: THEN THE REMNANT OF HIS BRETHREN SHALL RETURN
UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. 4 AND HE SHALL STAND AND FEED
IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD, IN THE MAJESTY OF THE NAME OF
THE LORD HIS GOD; AND THEY SHALL ABIDE: FOR NOW SHALL HE BE
GREAT UNTO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. 5 AND THIS MAN SHALL BE
THE PEACE, WHEN THE ASSYRIAN SHALL COME INTO OUR LAND:
AND WHEN HE SHALL TREAD IN OUR PALACES, THEN SHALL WE
RAISE AGAINST HIM SEVEN SHEPHERDS, AND EIGHT PRINCIPAL MEN.
6 AND THEY SHALL WASTE THE LAND OF ASSYRIA WITH THE SWORD,
AND THE LAND OF NIMROD IN THE ENTRANCES THEREOF: THUS
SHALL HE DELIVER US FROM THE ASSYRIAN, WHEN HE COMETH
INTO OUR LAND, AND WHEN HE TREADETH WITHIN OUR BORDERS.
7 AND THE REMNANT OF JACOB SHALL BE IN THE MIDST OF MANY
PEOPLE AS A DEW FROM THE LORD, AS THE SHOWERS UPON THE
GRASS, THAT TARRIETH NOT FOR MAN, NOR WAITETH FOR THE SONS
OF MEN. 8 AND THE REMNANT OF JACOB SHALL BE AMONG THE
GENTILES IN THE MIDST OF MANY PEOPLE AS A LION AMONG THE
BEASTS OF THE FOREST, AS A YOUNG LION AMONG THE FLOCKS OF
SHEEP: WHO, IF HE GO THROUGH, BOTH TREADETH DOWN, AND
TEARETH IN PIECES, AND NONE CAN DELIVER. 9 THINE HAND SHALL
BE LIFTED UP UPON THINE ADVERSARIES, AND ALL THINE ENEMIES
SHALL BE CUT OFF. 10 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY,
SAITH THE LORD, THAT I WILL CUT OFF THY HORSES OUT OF THE
MIDST OF THEE, AND I WILL DESTROY THY CHARIOTS: 11 AND I WILL
CUT OFF THE CITIES OF THY LAND, AND THROW DOWN ALL THY
STRONG HOLDS: 12 AND I WILL CUT OFF WITCHCRAFTS OUT OF
THINE HAND; AND THOU SHALT HAVE NO MORE SOOTHSAYERS: 13

3 O MY PEOPLE, WHAT HAVE I DONE UNTO THEE? AND WHEREIN
HAVE I WEARIED THEE? TESTIFY AGAINST ME. 4 FOR I BROUGHT THEE
UP OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND REDEEMED THEE OUT OF THE
HOUSE OF SERVANTS; AND I SENT BEFORE THEE MOSES, AARON,
AND MIRIAM. 5 O MY PEOPLE, REMEMBER NOW WHAT BALAK KING
OF MOAB CONSULTED, AND WHAT BALAAM THE SON OF BEOR
ANSWERED HIM FROM SHITTIM UNTO GILGAL; THAT YE MAY KNOW
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LORD. 6 WHEREWITH SHALL I COME
BEFORE THE LORD, AND BOW MYSELF BEFORE THE HIGH GOD?
SHALL I COME BEFORE HIM WITH BURNT OFFERINGS, WITH CALVES
OF A YEAR OLD? 7 WILL THE LORD BE PLEASED WITH THOUSANDS
OF RAMS, OR WITH TEN THOUSANDS OF RIVERS OF OIL? SHALL I
GIVE MY FIRSTBORN FOR MY TRANSGRESSION, THE FRUIT OF MY
BODY FOR THE SIN OF MY SOUL? 8 HE HATH SHEWED THEE, O MAN,
WHAT IS GOOD; AND WHAT DOTH THE LORD REQUIRE OF THEE, BUT
TO DO JUSTLY, AND TO LOVE MERCY, AND TO WALK HUMBLY WITH
THY GOD? 9 THE LORD’S VOICE CRIETH UNTO THE CITY, AND THE
MAN OF WISDOM SHALL SEE THY NAME: HEAR YE THE ROD, AND
WHO HATH APPOINTED IT. 10 ARE THERE YET THE TREASURES OF
WICKEDNESS IN THE HOUSE OF THE WICKED, AND THE SCANT
MEASURE THAT IS ABOMINABLE? 11 SHALL I COUNT THEM PURE
WITH THE WICKED BALANCES, AND WITH THE BAG OF DECEITFUL
WEIGHTS? 12 FOR THE RICH MEN THEREOF ARE FULL OF VIOLENCE,
AND THE INHABITANTS THEREOF HAVE SPOKEN LIES, AND THEIR
TONGUE IS DECEITFUL IN THEIR MOUTH. 13 THEREFORE ALSO WILL
I MAKE THEE SICK IN SMITING THEE, IN MAKING THEE DESOLATE
BECAUSE OF THY SINS. 14 THOU SHALT EAT, BUT NOT BE SATISFIED;
AND THY CASTING DOWN SHALL BE IN THE MIDST OF THEE; AND
THOU SHALT TAKE HOLD, BUT SHALT NOT DELIVER; AND THAT

FRUITS, AS THE GRAPEGLEANINGS OF THE VINTAGE: THERE IS NO EVEN TO THEE FROM ASSYRIA, AND FROM THE FORTIFIED CITIES,
CLUSTER TO EAT: MY SOUL DESIRED THE FIRSTRIPE FRUIT. 2 THE AND FROM THE FORTRESS EVEN TO THE RIVER, AND FROM SEA TO

UPRIGHT AMONG MEN: THEY ALL LIE IN WAIT FOR BLOOD; THEY THE LAND SHALL BE DESOLATE BECAUSE OF THEM THAT DWELL
HUNT EVERY MAN HIS BROTHER WITH A NET. 3 THAT THEY MAY DO THEREIN, FOR THE FRUIT OF THEIR DOINGS. 14 FEED THY PEOPLE

THEM IS AS A BRIER: THE MOST UPRIGHT IS SHARPER THAN A THORN ACCORDING TO THE DAYS OF THY COMING OUT OF THE LAND OF
HEDGE: THE DAY OF THY WATCHMEN AND THY VISITATION COMETH; EGYPT WILL I SHEW UNTO HIM MARVELLOUS THINGS. 16 THE

PUT YE NOT CONFIDENCE IN A GUIDE: KEEP THE DOORS OF THY THEY SHALL LAY THEIR HAND UPON THEIR MOUTH, THEIR EARS

PUBLISHETH PEACE! O JUDAH, KEEP THY SOLEMN FEASTS, PERFORM
CHAPTER 1 THY VOWS: FOR THE WICKED SHALL NO MORE PASS THROUGH THEE;
HE IS UTTERLY CUT OFF.
THE BURDEN OF NINEVEH. THE BOOK OF THE VISION OF NAHUM
THE ELKOSHITE. 2 GOD IS JEALOUS, AND THE LORD REVENGETH; THE
LORD REVENGETH, AND IS FURIOUS; THE LORD WILL TAKE
VENGEANCE ON HIS ADVERSARIES, AND HE RESERVETH WRATH FOR
HIS ENEMIES. 3 THE LORD IS SLOW TO ANGER, AND GREAT IN
POWER, AND WILL NOT AT ALL ACQUIT THE WICKED: THE LORD
HATH HIS WAY IN THE WHIRLWIND AND IN THE STORM, AND THE
CLOUDS ARE THE DUST OF HIS FEET. 4 HE REBUKETH THE SEA, AND
MAKETH IT DRY, AND DRIETH UP ALL THE RIVERS: BASHAN
LANGUISHETH, AND CARMEL, AND THE FLOWER OF LEBANON
LANGUISHETH. 5 THE MOUNTAINS QUAKE AT HIM, AND THE HILLS
MELT, AND THE EARTH IS BURNED AT HIS PRESENCE, YEA, THE
WORLD, AND ALL THAT DWELL THEREIN. 6 WHO CAN STAND BEFORE
HIS INDIGNATION? AND WHO CAN ABIDE IN THE FIERCENESS OF HIS
ANGER? HIS FURY IS POURED OUT LIKE FIRE, AND THE ROCKS ARE
THROWN DOWN BY HIM. 7 THE LORD IS GOOD, A STRONG HOLD IN
THE DAY OF TROUBLE; AND HE KNOWETH THEM THAT TRUST IN HIM.
8 BUT WITH AN OVERRUNNING FLOOD HE WILL MAKE AN UTTER
END OF THE PLACE THEREOF, AND DARKNESS SHALL PURSUE HIS
ENEMIES. 9 WHAT DO YE IMAGINE AGAINST THE LORD? HE WILL
MAKE AN UTTER END: AFFLICTION SHALL NOT RISE UP THE SECOND
TIME. 10 FOR WHILE THEY BE FOLDEN TOGETHER AS THORNS, AND
WHILE THEY ARE DRUNKEN AS DRUNKARDS, THEY SHALL BE
DEVOURED AS STUBBLE FULLY DRY. 11 THERE IS ONE COME OUT OF

COUNSELLER. 12 THUS SAITH THE LORD; THOUGH THEY BE QUIET,
AND LIKEWISE MANY, YET THUS SHALL THEY BE CUT DOWN, WHEN
HE SHALL PASS THROUGH. THOUGH I HAVE AFFLICTED THEE, I WILL
AFFLICT THEE NO MORE. 13 FOR NOW WILL I BREAK HIS YOKE FROM

LORD HATH GIVEN A COMMANDMENT CONCERNING THEE, THAT NO
MORE OF THY NAME BE SOWN: OUT OF THE HOUSE OF THY GODS
WILL I CUT OFF THE GRAVEN IMAGE AND THE MOLTEN IMAGE: I WILL
MAKE THY GRAVE; FOR THOU ART VILE. 15 BEHOLD UPON THE

AWAY THE EXCELLENCY OF JACOB, AS THE EXCELLENCY OF ISRAEL:
FOR THE EMPTIERS HAVE EMPTIED THEM OUT, AND MARRED THEIR
VINE BRANCHES. 3 THE SHIELD OF HIS MIGHTY MEN IS MADE RED,
THE VALIANT MEN ARE IN SCARLET: THE CHARIOTS SHALL BE WITH
FLAMING TORCHES IN THE DAY OF HIS PREPARATION, AND THE FIR
TREES SHALL BE TERRIBLY SHAKEN. 4 THE CHARIOTS SHALL RAGE
IN THE STREETS, THEY SHALL JUSTLE ONE AGAINST ANOTHER IN THE
BROAD WAYS: THEY SHALL SEEM LIKE TORCHES, THEY SHALL RUN
LIKE THE LIGHTNINGS. 5 HE SHALL RECOUNT HIS WORTHIES: THEY
SHALL STUMBLE IN THEIR WALK; THEY SHALL MAKE HASTE TO THE
WALL THEREOF, AND THE DEFENCE SHALL BE PREPARED. 6 THE
GATES OF THE RIVERS SHALL BE OPENED, AND THE PALACE SHALL
BE DISSOLVED. 7 AND HUZZAB SHALL BE LED AWAY CAPTIVE, SHE
SHALL BE BROUGHT UP, AND HER MAIDS SHALL LEAD HER AS WITH
THE VOICE OF DOVES, TABERING UPON THEIR BREASTS. 8 BUT
NINEVEH IS OF OLD LIKE A POOL OF WATER: YET THEY SHALL FLEE
AWAY. STAND, STAND, SHALL THEY CRY; BUT NONE SHALL LOOK
BACK. 9 TAKE YE THE SPOIL OF SILVER, TAKE THE SPOIL OF GOLD:
FOR THERE IS NONE END OF THE STORE AND GLORY OUT OF ALL THE
PLEASANT FURNITURE. 10 SHE IS EMPTY, AND VOID, AND WASTE:
AND THE HEART MELTETH, AND THE KNEES SMITE TOGETHER, AND
MUCH PAIN IS IN ALL LOINS, AND THE FACES OF THEM ALL GATHER
BLACKNESS. 11 WHERE IS THE DWELLING OF THE LIONS, AND THE
FEEDINGPLACE OF THE YOUNG LIONS, WHERE THE LION, EVEN THE
OLD LION, WALKED, AND THE LION’S WHELP, AND NONE MADE
THEM AFRAID? 12 THE LION DID TEAR IN PIECES ENOUGH FOR HIS
WHELPS, AND STRANGLED FOR HIS LIONESSES, AND FILLED HIS
HOLES WITH PREY, AND HIS DENS WITH RAVIN. 13 BEHOLD, I AM
AGAINST THEE, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, AND I WILL BURN HER
CHARIOTS IN THE SMOKE, AND THE SWORD SHALL DEVOUR THY

AND OF THE JUMPING CHARIOTS. 3 THE HORSEMAN LIFTETH UP AWAY. 17 THY CROWNED ARE AS THE LOCUSTS, AND THY CAPTAINS

WHOREDOMS OF THE WELLFAVOURED HARLOT, THE MISTRESS OF DUST: THY PEOPLE IS SCATTERED UPON THE MOUNTAINS, AND NO
WITCHCRAFTS, THAT SELLETH NATIONS THROUGH HER MAN GATHERETH THEM. 19 THERE IS NO HEALING OF THY BRUISE;
WHOREDOMS, AND FAMILIES THROUGH HER WITCHCRAFTS. 5 THY WOUND IS GRIEVOUS: ALL THAT HEAR THE BRUIT OF THEE
BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST THEE, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS; AND I SHALL CLAP THE HANDS OVER THEE: FOR UPON WHOM HATH NOT

NATIONS THY NAKEDNESS, AND THE KINGDOMS THY SHAME. 6 AND

WHENCE SHALL I SEEK COMFORTERS FOR THEE? 8 ART THOU BETTER
THAN POPULOUS NO, THAT WAS SITUATE AMONG THE RIVERS, THAT

AND HER WALL WAS FROM THE SEA? 9 ETHIOPIA AND EGYPT WERE
HER STRENGTH, AND IT WAS INFINITE; PUT AND LUBIM WERE THY
HELPERS. 10 YET WAS SHE CARRIED AWAY, SHE WENT INTO
CAPTIVITY: HER YOUNG CHILDREN ALSO WERE DASHED IN PIECES
AT THE TOP OF ALL THE STREETS: AND THEY CAST LOTS FOR HER
HONOURABLE MEN, AND ALL HER GREAT MEN WERE BOUND IN
CHAINS. 11 THOU ALSO SHALT BE DRUNKEN: THOU SHALT BE HID,
THOU ALSO SHALT SEEK STRENGTH BECAUSE OF THE ENEMY. 12 ALL

OF THE EATER. 13 BEHOLD, THY PEOPLE IN THE MIDST OF THEE ARE

THAT RAISE UP STRIFE AND CONTENTION. 4 THEREFORE THE LAW IS
SLACKED, AND JUDGMENT DOTH NEVER GO FORTH: FOR THE
WICKED DOTH COMPASS ABOUT THE RIGHTEOUS; THEREFORE
WRONG JUDGMENT PROCEEDETH. 5 BEHOLD YE AMONG THE

THAT ARE NOT THEIRS. 7 THEY ARE TERRIBLE AND DREADFUL: THEIR
JUDGMENT AND THEIR DIGNITY SHALL PROCEED OF THEMSELVES. 8
THEIR HORSES ALSO ARE SWIFTER THAN THE LEOPARDS, AND ARE
MORE FIERCE THAN THE EVENING WOLVES: AND THEIR HORSEMEN
SHALL SPREAD THEMSELVES, AND THEIR HORSEMEN SHALL COME
FROM FAR; THEY SHALL FLY AS THE EAGLE THAT HASTETH TO EAT. 9
THEY SHALL COME ALL FOR VIOLENCE: THEIR FACES SHALL SUP UP
AS THE EAST WIND, AND THEY SHALL GATHER THE CAPTIVITY AS THE

SHALL BE A SCORN UNTO THEM: THEY SHALL DERIDE EVERY STRONG
HOLD; FOR THEY SHALL HEAP DUST, AND TAKE IT. 11 THEN SHALL

MIGHTY GOD, THOU HAST ESTABLISHED THEM FOR CORRECTION. 13

LOOK ON INIQUITY: WHEREFORE LOOKEST THOU UPON THEM THAT
DEAL TREACHEROUSLY, AND HOLDEST THY TONGUE WHEN THE

LORD, I HAVE HEARD THY SPEECH, AND WAS AFRAID: O LORD, INVADE THEM WITH HIS TROOPS. 17 ALTHOUGH THE FIG TREE SHALL
REVIVE THY WORK IN THE MIDST OF THE YEARS, IN THE MIDST OF NOT BLOSSOM, NEITHER SHALL FRUIT BE IN THE VINES; THE

SELAH. HIS GLORY COVERED THE HEAVENS, AND THE EARTH WAS THERE SHALL BE NO HERD IN THE STALLS: 18 YET I WILL REJOICE IN
FULL OF HIS PRAISE. 4 AND HIS BRIGHTNESS WAS AS THE LIGHT; HE THE LORD, I WILL JOY IN THE GOD OF MY SALVATION. 19 THE LORD
HAD HORNS COMING OUT OF HIS HAND: AND THERE WAS THE GOD IS MY STRENGTH, AND HE WILL MAKE MY FEET LIKE HINDS’
HIDING OF HIS POWER. 5 BEFORE HIM WENT THE PESTILENCE, AND FEET, AND HE WILL MAKE ME TO WALK UPON MINE HIGH PLACES.
BURNING COALS WENT FORTH AT HIS FEET. 6 HE STOOD, AND TO THE CHIEF SINGER ON MY STRINGED INSTRUMENTS.
MEASURED THE EARTH: HE BEHELD, AND DROVE ASUNDER THE
NATIONS; AND THE EVERLASTING MOUNTAINS WERE SCATTERED,
THE PERPETUAL HILLS DID BOW: HIS WAYS ARE EVERLASTING. 7 I
SAW THE TENTS OF CUSHAN IN AFFLICTION: AND THE CURTAINS OF
THE LAND OF MIDIAN DID TREMBLE. 8 WAS THE LORD DISPLEASED
AGAINST THE RIVERS? WAS THINE ANGER AGAINST THE RIVERS?
WAS THY WRATH AGAINST THE SEA, THAT THOU DIDST RIDE UPON
THINE HORSES AND THY CHARIOTS OF SALVATION? 9 THY BOW WAS
MADE QUITE NAKED, ACCORDING TO THE OATHS OF THE TRIBES,
EVEN THY WORD. SELAH. THOU DIDST CLEAVE THE EARTH WITH
RIVERS. 10 THE MOUNTAINS SAW THEE, AND THEY TREMBLED: THE
OVERFLOWING OF THE WATER PASSED BY: THE DEEP UTTERED HIS
VOICE, AND LIFTED UP HIS HANDS ON HIGH. 11 THE SUN AND MOON
STOOD STILL IN THEIR HABITATION: AT THE LIGHT OF THINE
ARROWS THEY WENT, AND AT THE SHINING OF THY GLITTERING
SPEAR. 12 THOU DIDST MARCH THROUGH THE LAND IN
INDIGNATION, THOU DIDST THRESH THE HEATHEN IN ANGER. 13
THOU WENTEST FORTH FOR THE SALVATION OF THY PEOPLE, EVEN
FOR SALVATION WITH THINE ANOINTED; THOU WOUNDEDST THE
HEAD OUT OF THE HOUSE OF THE WICKED, BY DISCOVERING THE
FOUNDATION UNTO THE NECK. SELAH. 14 THOU DIDST STRIKE
THROUGH WITH HIS STAVES THE HEAD OF HIS VILLAGES: THEY CAME
OUT AS A WHIRLWIND TO SCATTER ME: THEIR REJOICING WAS AS
TO DEVOUR THE POOR SECRETLY. 15 THOU DIDST WALK THROUGH

CHAPTER 1 14 THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR, IT IS NEAR, AND HASTETH
GREATLY, EVEN THE VOICE OF THE DAY OF THE LORD: THE MIGHTY
THE WORD OF THE LORD WHICH CAME UNTO ZEPHANIAH THE SON MAN SHALL CRY THERE BITTERLY. 15 THAT DAY IS A DAY OF WRATH,
OF CUSHI, THE SON OF GEDALIAH, THE SON OF AMARIAH, THE SON A DAY OF TROUBLE AND DISTRESS, A DAY OF WASTENESS AND
OF HIZKIAH, IN THE DAYS OF JOSIAH THE SON OF AMON, KING OF DESOLATION, A DAY OF DARKNESS AND GLOOMINESS, A DAY OF
JUDAH. 2 I WILL UTTERLY CONSUME ALL THINGS FROM OFF THE CLOUDS AND THICK DARKNESS, 16 A DAY OF THE TRUMPET AND
LAND, SAITH THE LORD. 3 I WILL CONSUME MAN AND BEAST; I WILL ALARM AGAINST THE FENCED CITIES, AND AGAINST THE HIGH
CONSUME THE FOWLS OF THE HEAVEN, AND THE FISHES OF THE SEA, TOWERS. 17 AND I WILL BRING DISTRESS UPON MEN, THAT THEY

STRETCH OUT MINE HAND UPON JUDAH, AND UPON ALL THE DUST, AND THEIR FLESH AS THE DUNG. 18 NEITHER THEIR SILVER
INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM; AND I WILL CUT OFF THE REMNANT NOR THEIR GOLD SHALL BE ABLE TO DELIVER THEM IN THE DAY OF
OF BAAL FROM THIS PLACE, AND THE NAME OF THE CHEMARIMS THE LORD’S WRATH; BUT THE WHOLE LAND SHALL BE DEVOURED
WITH THE PRIESTS; 5 AND THEM THAT WORSHIP THE HOST OF BY THE FIRE OF HIS JEALOUSY: FOR HE SHALL MAKE EVEN A SPEEDY
HEAVEN UPON THE HOUSETOPS; AND THEM THAT WORSHIP AND RIDDANCE OF ALL THEM THAT DWELL IN THE LAND.
THAT SWEAR BY THE LORD, AND THAT SWEAR BY MALCHAM; 6 AND
THEM THAT ARE TURNED BACK FROM THE LORD; AND THOSE THAT
HAVE NOT SOUGHT THE LORD, NOR INQUIRED FOR HIM. 7 HOLD THY
PEACE AT THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD GOD: FOR THE DAY OF THE
LORD IS AT HAND: FOR THE LORD HATH PREPARED A SACRIFICE, HE
HATH BID HIS GUESTS. 8 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THE DAY
OF THE LORD’S SACRIFICE, THAT I WILL PUNISH THE PRINCES, AND
THE KING’S CHILDREN, AND ALL SUCH AS ARE CLOTHED WITH
STRANGE APPAREL. 9 IN THE SAME DAY ALSO WILL I PUNISH ALL
THOSE THAT LEAP ON THE THRESHOLD, WHICH FILL THEIR MASTERS’
HOUSES WITH VIOLENCE AND DECEIT. 10 AND IT SHALL COME TO
PASS IN THAT DAY, SAITH THE LORD, THAT THERE SHALL BE THE
NOISE OF A CRY FROM THE FISH GATE, AND AN HOWLING FROM THE
SECOND, AND A GREAT CRASHING FROM THE HILLS. 11 HOWL, YE
INHABITANTS OF MAKTESH, FOR ALL THE MERCHANT PEOPLE ARE
CUT DOWN; ALL THEY THAT BEAR SILVER ARE CUT OFF. 12 AND IT
SHALL COME TO PASS AT THAT TIME, THAT I WILL SEARCH
JERUSALEM WITH CANDLES, AND PUNISH THE MEN THAT ARE
SETTLED ON THEIR LEES: THAT SAY IN THEIR HEART, THE LORD WILL
NOT DO GOOD, NEITHER WILL HE DO EVIL. 13 THEREFORE THEIR
GOODS SHALL BECOME A BOOTY, AND THEIR HOUSES A DESOLATION:
THEY SHALL ALSO BUILD HOUSES, BUT NOT INHABIT THEM; AND

GATHER YOURSELVES TOGETHER, YEA, GATHER TOGETHER, O LODGE IN THE UPPER LINTELS OF IT; THEIR VOICE SHALL SING IN
NATION NOT DESIRED; 2 BEFORE THE DECREE BRING FORTH, BEFORE THE WINDOWS; DESOLATION SHALL BE IN THE THRESHOLDS: FOR
THE DAY PASS AS THE CHAFF, BEFORE THE FIERCE ANGER OF THE HE SHALL UNCOVER THE CEDAR WORK. 15 THIS IS THE REJOICING

OF THE SEA COAST, THE NATION OF THE CHERETHITES! THE WORD
OF THE LORD IS AGAINST YOU; O CANAAN, THE LAND OF THE
PHILISTINES, I WILL EVEN DESTROY THEE, THAT THERE SHALL BE
NO INHABITANT. 6 AND THE SEA COAST SHALL BE DWELLINGS AND
COTTAGES FOR SHEPHERDS, AND FOLDS FOR FLOCKS. 7 AND THE
COAST SHALL BE FOR THE REMNANT OF THE HOUSE OF JUDAH; THEY
SHALL FEED THEREUPON: IN THE HOUSES OF ASHKELON SHALL
THEY LIE DOWN IN THE EVENING: FOR THE LORD THEIR GOD SHALL
VISIT THEM, AND TURN AWAY THEIR CAPTIVITY. 8 I HAVE HEARD THE
REPROACH OF MOAB, AND THE REVILINGS OF THE CHILDREN OF
AMMON, WHEREBY THEY HAVE REPROACHED MY PEOPLE, AND
MAGNIFIED THEMSELVES AGAINST THEIR BORDER. 9 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, EVEN THE BREEDING OF NETTLES, AND SALTPITS, AND
A PERPETUAL DESOLATION: THE RESIDUE OF MY PEOPLE SHALL
SPOIL THEM, AND THE REMNANT OF MY PEOPLE SHALL POSSESS
THEM. 10 THIS SHALL THEY HAVE FOR THEIR PRIDE, BECAUSE THEY
HAVE REPROACHED AND MAGNIFIED THEMSELVES AGAINST THE
PEOPLE OF THE LORD OF HOSTS. 11 THE LORD WILL BE TERRIBLE
UNTO THEM: FOR HE WILL FAMISH ALL THE GODS OF THE EARTH;
AND MEN SHALL WORSHIP HIM, EVERY ONE FROM HIS PLACE, EVEN
ALL THE ISLES OF THE HEATHEN. 12 YE ETHIOPIANS ALSO, YE SHALL
BE SLAIN BY MY SWORD. 13 AND HE WILL STRETCH OUT HIS HAND
AGAINST THE NORTH, AND DESTROY ASSYRIA; AND WILL MAKE

CORRECTION; SHE TRUSTED NOT IN THE LORD; SHE DREW NOT NEAR LORD, IS IN THE MIDST OF THEE: THOU SHALT NOT SEE EVIL ANY

HAVE DONE VIOLENCE TO THE LAW. 5 THE JUST LORD IS IN THE JOY OVER THEE WITH SINGING. 18 I WILL GATHER THEM THAT ARE
MIDST THEREOF; HE WILL NOT DO INIQUITY: EVERY MORNING DOTH SORROWFUL FOR THE SOLEMN ASSEMBLY, WHO ARE OF THEE, TO

ALL THE EARTH SHALL BE DEVOURED WITH THE FIRE OF MY
JEALOUSY. 9 FOR THEN WILL I TURN TO THE PEOPLE A PURE
LANGUAGE, THAT THEY MAY ALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE
LORD, TO SERVE HIM WITH ONE CONSENT. 10 FROM BEYOND THE
RIVERS OF ETHIOPIA MY SUPPLIANTS, EVEN THE DAUGHTER OF MY
DISPERSED, SHALL BRING MINE OFFERING. 11 IN THAT DAY SHALT
THOU NOT BE ASHAMED FOR ALL THY DOINGS, WHEREIN THOU HAST
TRANSGRESSED AGAINST ME: FOR THEN I WILL TAKE AWAY OUT OF

SHALT NO MORE BE HAUGHTY BECAUSE OF MY HOLY MOUNTAIN. 12
I WILL ALSO LEAVE IN THE MIDST OF THEE AN AFFLICTED AND POOR

HANDS SHALL ALSO FINISH IT; AND THOU SHALT KNOW THAT THE
LORD OF HOSTS HATH SENT ME UNTO YOU. 10 FOR WHO HATH
DESPISED THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS? FOR THEY SHALL REJOICE,
AND SHALL SEE THE PLUMMET IN THE HAND OF ZERUBBABEL WITH
THOSE SEVEN; THEY ARE THE EYES OF THE LORD, WHICH RUN TO
AND FRO THROUGH THE WHOLE EARTH. 11 THEN ANSWERED I, AND
SAID UNTO HIM, WHAT ARE THESE TWO OLIVE TREES UPON THE
RIGHT SIDE OF THE CANDLESTICK AND UPON THE LEFT SIDE
THEREOF? 12 AND I ANSWERED AGAIN, AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHAT
BE THESE TWO OLIVE BRANCHES WHICH THROUGH THE TWO
GOLDEN PIPES EMPTY THE GOLDEN OIL OUT OF THEMSELVES? 13
AND HE ANSWERED ME AND SAID, KNOWEST THOU NOT WHAT
THESE BE? AND I SAID, NO, MY LORD. 14 THEN SAID HE, THESE ARE
THE TWO ANOINTED ONES, THAT STAND BY THE LORD OF THE
WHOLE EARTH.

THEN I TURNED, AND LIFTED UP MINE EYES, AND LOOKED, AND
BEHOLD A FLYING ROLL. 2 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, WHAT SEEST
THOU? AND I ANSWERED, I SEE A FLYING ROLL; THE LENGTH
THEREOF IS TWENTY CUBITS, AND THE BREADTH THEREOF TEN
CUBITS. 3 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, THIS IS THE CURSE THAT GOETH
FORTH OVER THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH: FOR EVERY ONE THAT
STEALETH SHALL BE CUT OFF AS ON THIS SIDE ACCORDING TO IT;
AND EVERY ONE THAT SWEARETH SHALL BE CUT OFF AS ON THAT
SIDE ACCORDING TO IT. 4 I WILL BRING IT 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 REMAIN 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 GOETH FORTH. 6 AND I SAID, WHAT IS IT? AND HE SAID,
THIS IS AN EPHAH THAT GOETH FORTH. HE SAID MOREOVER, THIS IS
THEIR RESEMBLANCE THROUGH ALL THE EARTH. 7 AND, BEHOLD,
THERE WAS LIFTED UP A TALENT OF LEAD: AND THIS IS A WOMAN
THAT SITTETH IN THE MIDST OF THE EPHAH. 8 AND HE SAID, THIS IS
WICKEDNESS. AND HE CAST IT INTO THE MIDST OF THE EPHAH; AND
HE CAST THE WEIGHT OF LEAD UPON THE MOUTH THEREOF. 9 THEN
LIFTED I UP MINE EYES, AND LOOKED, AND, BEHOLD, THERE CAME
OUT TWO WOMEN, AND THE WIND WAS IN THEIR WINGS; FOR THEY
HAD WINGS LIKE THE WINGS OF A STORK: AND THEY LIFTED UP THE
EPHAH BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE HEAVEN. 10 THEN SAID I TO
THE ANGEL THAT TALKED WITH ME, WHITHER DO THESE BEAR THE
EPHAH? 11 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, TO BUILD IT AN HOUSE IN THE
LAND OF SHINAR: AND IT SHALL BE ESTABLISHED, AND SET THERE
UPON HER OWN BASE.

BEHOLD, THERE CAME FOUR CHARIOTS OUT FROM BETWEEN TWO
MOUNTAINS; AND THE MOUNTAINS WERE MOUNTAINS OF BRASS. 2
IN THE FIRST CHARIOT WERE RED HORSES; AND IN THE SECOND
CHARIOT BLACK HORSES; 3 AND IN THE THIRD CHARIOT WHITE
HORSES; AND IN THE FOURTH CHARIOT GRISLED AND BAY HORSES.
4 THEN I ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THE ANGEL THAT TALKED WITH
ME, WHAT ARE THESE, MY LORD? 5 AND THE ANGEL ANSWERED AND
SAID UNTO ME, THESE ARE THE FOUR SPIRITS OF THE HEAVENS,
WHICH GO FORTH FROM STANDING BEFORE THE LORD OF ALL THE
EARTH. 6 THE BLACK HORSES WHICH ARE THEREIN GO FORTH INTO
THE NORTH COUNTRY; AND THE WHITE GO FORTH AFTER THEM; AND
THE GRISLED GO FORTH TOWARD THE SOUTH COUNTRY. 7 AND THE
BAY WENT FORTH, AND SOUGHT TO GO THAT THEY MIGHT WALK TO
AND FRO THROUGH THE EARTH: AND HE SAID, GET YOU HENCE,
WALK TO AND FRO THROUGH THE EARTH. SO THEY WALKED TO AND
FRO THROUGH THE EARTH. 8 THEN CRIED HE UPON ME, AND SPAKE
UNTO ME, SAYING, BEHOLD, THESE THAT GO TOWARD THE NORTH
COUNTRY HAVE QUIETED MY SPIRIT IN THE NORTH COUNTRY. 9 AND
THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING, 10 TAKE OF THEM
OF THE CAPTIVITY, EVEN OF HELDAI, OF TOBIJAH, AND OF JEDAIAH,
WHICH ARE COME FROM BABYLON, AND COME THOU THE SAME DAY,
AND GO INTO THE HOUSE OF JOSIAH THE SON OF ZEPHANIAH; 11
THEN TAKE SILVER AND GOLD, AND MAKE CROWNS, AND SET THEM
UPON THE HEAD OF JOSHUA THE SON OF JOSEDECH, THE HIGH
PRIEST; 12 AND SPEAK UNTO HIM, SAYING, THUS SPEAKETH THE
LORD OF HOSTS, SAYING, BEHOLD THE MAN WHOSE NAME IS THE
BRANCH; AND HE SHALL GROW UP OUT OF HIS PLACE, AND HE
SHALL BUILD THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD: 13 EVEN HE SHALL BUILD
THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD; AND HE SHALL BEAR THE GLORY, AND
SHALL SIT AND RULE UPON HIS THRONE; AND HE SHALL BE A PRIEST
UPON HIS THRONE: AND THE COUNSEL OF PEACE SHALL BE
BETWEEN THEM BOTH. 14 AND THE CROWNS SHALL BE TO HELEM,
AND TO TOBIJAH, AND TO JEDAIAH, AND TO HEN THE SON OF

AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF KING DARIUS, THAT

THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ZECHARIAH IN THE FOURTH
DAY OF THE NINTH MONTH, EVEN IN CHISLEU; 2 WHEN THEY HAD
SENT UNTO THE HOUSE OF GOD SHEREZER AND REGEM-MELECH,
AND THEIR MEN, TO PRAY BEFORE THE LORD, 3 AND TO SPEAK UNTO
THE PRIESTS WHICH WERE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD OF HOSTS,
AND TO THE PROPHETS, SAYING, SHOULD I WEEP IN THE FIFTH
MONTH, SEPARATING MYSELF, AS I HAVE DONE THESE SO MANY
YEARS? 4 THEN CAME THE WORD OF THE LORD OF HOSTS UNTO ME,
SAYING, 5 SPEAK UNTO ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND, AND TO THE
PRIESTS, SAYING, WHEN YE FASTED AND MOURNED IN THE FIFTH
AND SEVENTH MONTH, EVEN THOSE SEVENTY YEARS, DID YE AT ALL
FAST UNTO ME, EVEN TO ME? 6 AND WHEN YE DID EAT, AND WHEN
YE DID DRINK, DID NOT YE EAT FOR YOURSELVES, AND DRINK FOR
YOURSELVES? 7 SHOULD YE NOT HEAR THE WORDS WHICH THE
LORD HATH CRIED BY THE FORMER PROPHETS, WHEN JERUSALEM
WAS INHABITED AND IN PROSPERITY, AND THE CITIES THEREOF
ROUND ABOUT HER, WHEN MEN INHABITED THE SOUTH AND THE
PLAIN? 8 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ZECHARIAH,
SAYING, 9 THUS SPEAKETH THE LORD OF HOSTS, SAYING, EXECUTE
TRUE JUDGMENT, AND SHEW MERCY AND COMPASSIONS EVERY
MAN TO HIS BROTHER: 10 AND OPPRESS NOT THE WIDOW, NOR THE
FATHERLESS, THE STRANGER, NOR THE POOR; AND LET NONE OF
YOU IMAGINE EVIL AGAINST HIS BROTHER IN YOUR HEART. 11 BUT
THEY REFUSED TO HEARKEN, AND PULLED AWAY THE SHOULDER,
AND STOPPED THEIR EARS, THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HEAR. 12 YEA,
THEY MADE THEIR HEARTS AS AN ADAMANT STONE, LEST THEY
SHOULD HEAR THE LAW, AND THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD OF
HOSTS HATH SENT IN HIS SPIRIT BY THE FORMER PROPHETS:
THEREFORE CAME A GREAT WRATH FROM THE LORD OF HOSTS. 13
THEREFORE IT IS COME TO PASS, THAT AS HE CRIED, AND THEY
WOULD NOT HEAR; SO THEY CRIED, AND I WOULD NOT HEAR, SAITH

THERE SHALL YET OLD MEN AND OLD WOMEN DWELL IN THE THE LORD. 18 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD OF HOSTS CAME UNTO
STREETS OF JERUSALEM, AND EVERY MAN WITH HIS STAFF IN HIS ME, SAYING, 19 THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS; THE FAST OF THE
HAND FOR VERY AGE. 5 AND THE STREETS OF THE CITY SHALL BE FOURTH MONTH, AND THE FAST OF THE FIFTH, AND THE FAST OF

LORD OF HOSTS. 12 FOR THE SEED SHALL BE PROSPEROUS; THE VINE
SHALL GIVE HER FRUIT, AND THE GROUND SHALL GIVE HER
INCREASE, AND THE HEAVENS SHALL GIVE THEIR DEW; AND I WILL
CAUSE THE REMNANT OF THIS PEOPLE TO POSSESS ALL THESE
THINGS. 13 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT AS YE WERE A CURSE

BETWEEN HIS TEETH: BUT HE THAT REMAINETH, EVEN HE, SHALL
BE FOR OUR GOD, AND HE SHALL BE AS A GOVERNOR IN JUDAH, AND
EKRON AS A JEBUSITE. 8 AND I WILL ENCAMP ABOUT MINE HOUSE
BECAUSE OF THE ARMY, BECAUSE OF HIM THAT PASSETH BY, AND
BECAUSE OF HIM THAT RETURNETH: AND NO OPPRESSOR SHALL
PASS THROUGH THEM ANY MORE: FOR NOW HAVE I SEEN WITH

DAUGHTER OF JERUSALEM: BEHOLD, THY KING COMETH UNTO THEE:
HE IS JUST, AND HAVING SALVATION; LOWLY, AND RIDING UPON AN

SHALL SPEAK PEACE UNTO THE HEATHEN: AND HIS DOMINION
SHALL BE FROM SEA EVEN TO SEA, AND FROM THE RIVER EVEN TO

THY COVENANT I HAVE SENT FORTH THY PRISONERS OUT OF THE PIT
WHEREIN IS NO WATER. 12 TURN YOU TO THE STRONG HOLD, YE
PRISONERS OF HOPE: EVEN TO DAY DO I DECLARE THAT I WILL

ASK YE OF THE LORD RAIN IN THE TIME OF THE LATTER RAIN; SO

THE LORD SHALL MAKE BRIGHT CLOUDS, AND GIVE THEM SHOWERS
OF RAIN, TO EVERY ONE GRASS IN THE FIELD. 2 FOR THE IDOLS HAVE
SPOKEN VANITY, AND THE DIVINERS HAVE SEEN A LIE, AND HAVE
TOLD FALSE DREAMS; THEY COMFORT IN VAIN: THEREFORE THEY
WENT THEIR WAY AS A FLOCK, THEY WERE TROUBLED, BECAUSE
THERE WAS NO SHEPHERD. 3 MINE ANGER WAS KINDLED AGAINST
THE SHEPHERDS, AND I PUNISHED THE GOATS: FOR THE LORD OF
HOSTS HATH VISITED HIS FLOCK THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, AND HATH
MADE THEM AS HIS GOODLY HORSE IN THE BATTLE. 4 OUT OF HIM
CAME FORTH THE CORNER, OUT OF HIM THE NAIL, OUT OF HIM THE
BATTLE BOW, OUT OF HIM EVERY OPPRESSOR TOGETHER. 5 AND
THEY SHALL BE AS MIGHTY MEN, WHICH TREAD DOWN THEIR
ENEMIES IN THE MIRE OF THE STREETS IN THE BATTLE: AND THEY
SHALL FIGHT, BECAUSE THE LORD IS WITH THEM, AND THE RIDERS
ON HORSES SHALL BE CONFOUNDED. 6 AND I WILL STRENGTHEN
THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, AND I WILL SAVE THE HOUSE OF JOSEPH,
AND I WILL BRING THEM AGAIN TO PLACE THEM; 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 WILL HEAR THEM. 7 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 BE GLAD; THEIR HEART SHALL REJOICE IN THE LORD. 8
I WILL HISS FOR THEM, AND GATHER THEM; FOR I HAVE REDEEMED
THEM: AND THEY SHALL INCREASE AS THEY HAVE INCREASED. 9 AND
I WILL SOW THEM AMONG THE PEOPLE: AND THEY SHALL
REMEMBER ME IN FAR COUNTRIES; AND THEY SHALL LIVE WITH
THEIR CHILDREN, AND TURN AGAIN. 10 I WILL BRING THEM AGAIN
ALSO OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND GATHER THEM OUT OF
ASSYRIA; AND I WILL BRING THEM INTO THE LAND OF GILEAD AND
LEBANON; AND PLACE SHALL NOT BE FOUND FOR THEM. 11 AND HE
SHALL PASS THROUGH THE SEA WITH AFFLICTION, AND SHALL
SMITE THE WAVES IN THE SEA, AND ALL THE DEEPS OF THE RIVER
SHALL DRY UP: AND THE PRIDE OF ASSYRIA SHALL BE BROUGHT

JORDAN IS SPOILED. 4 THUS SAITH THE LORD MY GOD; FEED THE
FLOCK OF THE SLAUGHTER; 5 WHOSE POSSESSORS SLAY THEM, AND
HOLD THEMSELVES NOT GUILTY: AND THEY THAT SELL THEM SAY,
BLESSED BE THE LORD; FOR I AM RICH: AND 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 THEM. 7 AND I WILL FEED THE FLOCK OF
SLAUGHTER, EVEN YOU, O POOR OF THE FLOCK. AND I TOOK UNTO
ME TWO STAVES; THE ONE I CALLED BEAUTY, AND THE OTHER I
CALLED BANDS; AND I FED THE FLOCK. 8 THREE SHEPHERDS ALSO I
CUT OFF IN ONE MONTH; AND MY SOUL LOTHED THEM, AND THEIR
SOUL ALSO ABHORRED ME. 9 THEN SAID I, I WILL NOT FEED YOU:
THAT THAT DIETH, LET IT DIE; AND THAT THAT IS TO BE CUT OFF, LET
IT BE CUT OFF; AND LET THE REST EAT EVERY ONE THE FLESH OF
ANOTHER. 10 AND I TOOK MY STAFF, EVEN BEAUTY, AND CUT IT
ASUNDER, THAT I MIGHT BREAK MY COVENANT WHICH I HAD MADE
WITH ALL THE PEOPLE. 11 AND IT WAS BROKEN IN THAT DAY: AND
SO THE POOR OF THE FLOCK THAT WAITED UPON ME KNEW THAT IT
WAS THE WORD OF THE LORD. 12 AND I SAID UNTO THEM, IF YE
THINK GOOD, GIVE ME MY PRICE; AND IF NOT, FORBEAR. SO THEY
WEIGHED FOR MY PRICE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER. 13 AND THE
LORD SAID UNTO ME, CAST IT UNTO THE POTTER: A GOODLY PRICE
THAT I WAS PRISED AT OF THEM. AND I TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF
SILVER, AND CAST THEM TO THE POTTER IN THE HOUSE OF THE
LORD. 14 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 THE

TREMBLING UNTO ALL THE PEOPLE ROUND ABOUT, WHEN THEY APART; THE FAMILY OF SHIMEI APART, AND THEIR WIVES APART; 14
SHALL BE IN THE SIEGE BOTH AGAINST JUDAH AND AGAINST ALL THE FAMILIES THAT REMAIN, EVERY FAMILY APART, AND THEIR

BURDENSOME STONE FOR ALL PEOPLE: ALL THAT BURDEN
THEMSELVES WITH IT SHALL BE CUT IN PIECES, THOUGH ALL THE
PEOPLE OF THE EARTH 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 THE PEOPLE WITH BLINDNESS. 5 AND THE GOVERNORS
OF JUDAH SHALL SAY IN THEIR HEART, THE INHABITANTS OF
JERUSALEM SHALL BE MY STRENGTH IN THE LORD OF HOSTS THEIR
GOD. 6 IN THAT DAY WILL I MAKE THE GOVERNORS OF JUDAH LIKE
AN HEARTH OF FIRE AMONG THE WOOD, AND LIKE A TORCH OF FIRE
IN A SHEAF; AND THEY SHALL DEVOUR ALL THE PEOPLE ROUND
ABOUT, ON THE RIGHT HAND AND ON THE LEFT: AND JERUSALEM
SHALL BE INHABITED AGAIN IN HER OWN PLACE, EVEN IN
JERUSALEM. 7 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 DO NOT MAGNIFY
THEMSELVES AGAINST JUDAH. 8 IN THAT DAY SHALL THE LORD
DEFEND THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM; AND HE THAT IS FEEBLE
AMONG THEM AT THAT DAY SHALL BE AS DAVID; AND THE HOUSE
OF DAVID SHALL BE AS GOD, AS THE ANGEL OF THE LORD BEFORE
THEM. 9 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT I WILL
SEEK TO DESTROY ALL THE NATIONS THAT COME AGAINST
JERUSALEM. 10 AND I WILL POUR UPON THE HOUSE OF DAVID, AND
UPON THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM, THE SPIRIT OF GRACE AND
OF SUPPLICATIONS: AND THEY SHALL LOOK UPON ME WHOM THEY

IN THAT DAY THERE SHALL BE A FOUNTAIN OPENED TO THE HOUSE

THE IDOLS OUT OF THE LAND, AND THEY SHALL NO MORE BE
REMEMBERED: AND ALSO I WILL CAUSE THE PROPHETS AND THE
UNCLEAN SPIRIT TO PASS OUT OF THE LAND. 3 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 PROPHESIETH. 4 AND IT SHALL

ASHAMED EVERY ONE OF HIS VISION, WHEN HE HATH PROPHESIED;
NEITHER SHALL THEY WEAR A ROUGH GARMENT TO DECEIVE: 5 BUT

LORD OF HOSTS: SMITE THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE
SCATTERED: AND I WILL TURN MINE HAND UPON THE LITTLE ONES.

LORD, TWO PARTS THEREIN SHALL BE CUT OFF AND DIE; BUT THE
THIRD SHALL BE LEFT THEREIN. 9 AND I WILL BRING THE THIRD
PART THROUGH THE FIRE, AND WILL REFINE THEM AS SILVER IS

I HAVE LOVED YOU, SAITH THE LORD. YET YE SAY, WHEREIN HAST BROUGHT AN OFFERING: SHOULD I ACCEPT THIS OF YOUR HAND?
THOU LOVED US? WAS NOT ESAU JACOB’S BROTHER? SAITH THE SAITH THE LORD. 14 BUT CURSED BE THE DECEIVER, WHICH HATH

WHERE IS MY FEAR? SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS UNTO YOU, O

DESPISED THY NAME? 7 YE OFFER POLLUTED BREAD UPON MINE
ALTAR; AND YE SAY, WHEREIN HAVE WE POLLUTED THEE? IN THAT
YE SAY, THE TABLE OF THE LORD IS CONTEMPTIBLE. 8 AND IF YE
OFFER THE BLIND FOR SACRIFICE, IS IT NOT EVIL? AND IF YE OFFER
THE LAME AND SICK, IS IT NOT EVIL? OFFER IT NOW UNTO THY

BESEECH GOD THAT HE WILL BE GRACIOUS UNTO US: THIS HATH

SHUT THE DOORS FOR NOUGHT? NEITHER DO YE KINDLE FIRE ON
MINE ALTAR FOR NOUGHT. I HAVE NO PLEASURE IN YOU, SAITH THE
LORD OF HOSTS, NEITHER WILL I ACCEPT AN OFFERING AT YOUR
HAND. 11 FOR FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN EVEN UNTO THE GOING
DOWN OF THE SAME MY NAME SHALL BE GREAT AMONG THE
GENTILES; AND IN EVERY PLACE INCENSE SHALL BE OFFERED UNTO
MY NAME, AND A PURE OFFERING: FOR MY NAME SHALL BE GREAT
AMONG THE HEATHEN, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS. 12 BUT YE HAVE

I HAVE CURSED THEM ALREADY, BECAUSE YE DO NOT LAY IT TO TAKE HEED TO YOUR SPIRIT, AND LET NONE DEAL TREACHEROUSLY

PRIEST’S LIPS SHOULD KEEP KNOWLEDGE, AND THEY SHOULD SEEK
THE LAW AT HIS MOUTH: FOR HE IS THE MESSENGER OF THE LORD
OF HOSTS. 8 BUT YE ARE DEPARTED OUT OF THE WAY; YE HAVE
CAUSED MANY TO STUMBLE AT THE LAW; YE HAVE CORRUPTED THE
COVENANT OF LEVI, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS. 9 THEREFORE HAVE
I ALSO MADE YOU CONTEMPTIBLE AND BASE BEFORE ALL THE
PEOPLE, ACCORDING AS YE HAVE NOT KEPT MY WAYS, BUT HAVE
BEEN PARTIAL IN THE LAW. 10 HAVE WE NOT ALL ONE FATHER?
HATH NOT ONE GOD CREATED US? WHY DO WE DEAL
TREACHEROUSLY EVERY MAN AGAINST HIS BROTHER, BY
PROFANING THE COVENANT OF OUR FATHERS? 11 JUDAH HATH
DEALT TREACHEROUSLY, AND AN ABOMINATION IS COMMITTED IN
ISRAEL AND IN JERUSALEM; FOR JUDAH HATH PROFANED THE
HOLINESS OF THE LORD WHICH HE LOVED, AND HATH MARRIED THE
DAUGHTER OF A STRANGE GOD. 12 THE LORD WILL CUT OFF THE
MAN THAT DOETH THIS, THE MASTER AND THE SCHOLAR, OUT OF
THE TABERNACLES OF JACOB, AND HIM THAT OFFERETH AN
OFFERING UNTO THE LORD OF HOSTS. 13 AND THIS HAVE YE DONE

WAY BEFORE ME: AND THE LORD, WHOM YE SEEK, SHALL SUDDENLY PROFIT IS IT THAT WE HAVE KEPT HIS ORDINANCE, AND THAT WE
COME TO HIS TEMPLE, EVEN THE MESSENGER OF THE COVENANT, HAVE WALKED MOURNFULLY BEFORE THE LORD OF HOSTS? 15 AND

REFINER’S FIRE, AND LIKE FULLERS’ SOAP: 3 AND HE SHALL SIT AS ONE TO ANOTHER: AND THE LORD HEARKENED, AND HEARD IT, AND
A REFINER AND PURIFIER OF SILVER: AND HE SHALL PURIFY THE A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE WAS WRITTEN BEFORE HIM FOR THEM
SONS OF LEVI, AND PURGE THEM AS GOLD AND SILVER, THAT THEY THAT FEARED THE LORD, AND THAT THOUGHT UPON HIS NAME. 17
MAY OFFER UNTO THE LORD AN OFFERING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. 4 AND THEY SHALL BE MINE, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, IN THAT DAY
THEN SHALL THE OFFERING OF JUDAH AND JERUSALEM BE WHEN I MAKE UP MY JEWELS; AND I WILL SPARE THEM, AS A MAN
PLEASANT UNTO THE LORD, AS IN THE DAYS OF OLD, AND AS IN SPARETH HIS OWN SON THAT SERVETH HIM. 18 THEN SHALL YE

AND I WILL BE A SWIFT WITNESS AGAINST THE SORCERERS, AND BETWEEN HIM THAT SERVETH GOD AND HIM THAT SERVETH HIM
AGAINST THE ADULTERERS, AND AGAINST FALSE SWEARERS, AND NOT.
AGAINST THOSE THAT OPPRESS THE HIRELING IN HIS WAGES, THE
WIDOW, AND THE FATHERLESS, AND THAT TURN ASIDE THE
STRANGER FROM HIS RIGHT, AND FEAR NOT ME, SAITH THE LORD
OF HOSTS. 6 FOR I AM THE LORD, I CHANGE NOT; THEREFORE YE
SONS OF JACOB ARE NOT CONSUMED. 7 EVEN FROM THE DAYS OF
YOUR FATHERS YE ARE GONE AWAY FROM MINE ORDINANCES, AND
HAVE NOT KEPT THEM. RETURN UNTO ME, AND I WILL RETURN
UNTO YOU, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS. BUT YE SAID, WHEREIN
SHALL WE RETURN? 8 WILL A MAN ROB GOD? YET YE HAVE ROBBED
ME. BUT YE SAY, WHEREIN HAVE WE ROBBED THEE? IN TITHES AND
OFFERINGS. 9 YE ARE CURSED WITH A CURSE: FOR YE HAVE ROBBED
ME, EVEN THIS WHOLE NATION. 10 BRING YE ALL THE TITHES INTO
THE STOREHOUSE, THAT THERE MAY BE MEAT IN MINE HOUSE, AND
PROVE ME NOW HEREWITH, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, IF I WILL
NOT OPEN YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN, AND POUR YOU OUT A
BLESSING, THAT THERE SHALL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE
IT. 11 AND I WILL REBUKE THE DEVOURER FOR YOUR SAKES, AND

DAYS OF HEROD THE KING, BEHOLD, THERE CAME WISE MEN FROM WAS EXCEEDING WROTH, AND SENT FORTH, AND SLEW ALL THE

17 AND LO A VOICE FROM HEAVEN, SAYING, THIS IS MY BELOVED
CHAPTER 3 SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED.

IN THOSE DAYS CAME JOHN THE BAPTIST, PREACHING IN THE

WILDERNESS OF JUDÆA, 2 AND SAYING, REPENT YE: FOR THE
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. 3 FOR THIS IS HE THAT WAS
SPOKEN OF BY THE PROPHET ESAIAS, SAYING, THE VOICE OF ONE
CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD,
MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT. 4 AND THE SAME JOHN HAD HIS
RAIMENT OF CAMEL’S HAIR, AND A LEATHERN GIRDLE ABOUT HIS
LOINS; AND HIS MEAT WAS LOCUSTS AND WILD HONEY. 5 THEN
WENT OUT TO HIM JERUSALEM, AND ALL JUDÆA, AND ALL THE
REGION ROUND ABOUT JORDAN, 6 AND WERE BAPTIZED OF HIM IN
JORDAN, CONFESSING THEIR SINS. 7 BUT WHEN HE SAW MANY OF
THE PHARISEES AND SADDUCEES COME TO HIS BAPTISM, HE SAID
UNTO THEM, O GENERATION OF VIPERS, WHO HATH WARNED YOU
TO FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME? 8 BRING FORTH THEREFORE
FRUITS MEET FOR REPENTANCE: 9 AND THINK NOT TO SAY WITHIN
YOURSELVES, WE HAVE ABRAHAM TO OUR FATHER: FOR I SAY UNTO
YOU, THAT GOD IS ABLE OF THESE STONES TO RAISE UP CHILDREN
UNTO ABRAHAM. 10 AND NOW ALSO THE AXE IS LAID UNTO THE
ROOT OF THE TREES: THEREFORE EVERY TREE WHICH BRINGETH
NOT FORTH GOOD FRUIT IS HEWN DOWN, AND CAST INTO THE FIRE.
11 I INDEED BAPTIZE YOU WITH WATER UNTO REPENTANCE: BUT HE
THAT COMETH AFTER ME IS MIGHTIER THAN I, WHOSE SHOES I AM
NOT WORTHY TO BEAR: HE SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY
GHOST, AND WITH FIRE: 12 WHOSE FAN IS IN HIS HAND, AND HE
WILL THROUGHLY PURGE HIS FLOOR, AND GATHER HIS WHEAT INTO
THE GARNER; BUT HE WILL BURN UP THE CHAFF WITH
UNQUENCHABLE FIRE. 13 THEN COMETH JESUS FROM GALILEE TO
JORDAN UNTO JOHN, TO BE BAPTIZED OF HIM. 14 BUT JOHN FORBAD
HIM, SAYING, I HAVE NEED TO BE BAPTIZED OF THEE, AND COMEST
THOU TO ME? 15 AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID UNTO HIM, SUFFER
IT TO BE SO NOW: FOR THUS IT BECOMETH US TO FULFIL ALL
RIGHTEOUSNESS. THEN HE SUFFERED HIM. 16 AND JESUS, WHEN HE
WAS BAPTIZED, WENT UP STRAIGHTWAY OUT OF THE WATER: AND,
LO, THE HEAVENS WERE OPENED UNTO HIM, AND HE SAW THE
SPIRIT OF GOD DESCENDING LIKE A DOVE, AND LIGHTING UPON HIM:

BE TEMPTED OF THE DEVIL. 2 AND WHEN HE HAD FASTED FORTY HE SAW OTHER TWO BRETHREN, JAMES THE SON OF ZEBEDEE, AND
DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS, HE WAS AFTERWARD AN HUNGRED. 3 AND JOHN HIS BROTHER, IN A SHIP WITH ZEBEDEE THEIR FATHER,
WHEN THE TEMPTER CAME TO HIM, HE SAID, IF THOU BE THE SON MENDING THEIR NETS; AND HE CALLED THEM. 22 AND THEY
OF GOD, COMMAND THAT THESE STONES BE MADE BREAD. 4 BUT HE IMMEDIATELY LEFT THE SHIP AND THEIR FATHER, AND FOLLOWED
ANSWERED AND SAID, IT IS WRITTEN, MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY HIM. 23 AND JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL GALILEE, TEACHING IN THEIR
BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUES, AND PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, AND
MOUTH OF GOD. 5 THEN THE DEVIL TAKETH HIM UP INTO THE HOLY HEALING ALL MANNER OF SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER OF DISEASE

THE LORD THY GOD, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE. 11 THEN
THE DEVIL LEAVETH HIM, AND, BEHOLD, ANGELS CAME AND
MINISTERED UNTO HIM. 12 NOW WHEN JESUS HAD HEARD THAT
JOHN WAS CAST INTO PRISON, HE DEPARTED INTO GALILEE; 13 AND
LEAVING NAZARETH, HE CAME AND DWELT IN CAPERNAUM, WHICH
IS UPON THE SEA COAST, IN THE BORDERS OF ZABULON AND

 MATTHEW
SHALT PERFORM UNTO THE LORD THINE OATHS: 34 BUT I SAY UNTO
YOU, SWEAR NOT AT ALL; NEITHER BY HEAVEN; FOR IT IS GOD’S
THRONE: 35 NOR BY THE EARTH; FOR IT IS HIS FOOTSTOOL: NEITHER
BY JERUSALEM; FOR IT IS THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING. 36 NEITHER
SHALT THOU SWEAR BY THY HEAD, BECAUSE THOU CANST NOT
MAKE ONE HAIR WHITE OR BLACK. 37 BUT LET YOUR
COMMUNICATION BE, YEA, YEA; NAY, NAY: FOR WHATSOEVER IS
MORE THAN THESE COMETH OF EVIL. 38 YE HAVE HEARD THAT IT
HATH BEEN SAID, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH:
39 BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT YE RESIST NOT EVIL: BUT WHOSOEVER
SHALL SMITE THEE ON THY RIGHT CHEEK, TURN TO HIM THE OTHER
ALSO. 40 AND IF ANY MAN WILL SUE THEE AT THE LAW, AND TAKE
AWAY THY COAT, LET HIM HAVE THY CLOKE ALSO. 41 AND
WHOSOEVER SHALL COMPEL THEE TO GO A MILE, GO WITH HIM

WOULD BORROW OF THEE TURN NOT THOU AWAY. 43 YE HAVE
HEARD THAT IT HATH BEEN SAID, THOU SHALT LOVE THY
NEIGHBOUR, AND HATE THINE ENEMY. 44 BUT I SAY UNTO YOU,
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO
THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY
USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU; 45 THAT YE MAY BE THE CHILDREN
OF YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN: FOR HE MAKETH HIS SUN
TO RISE ON THE EVIL AND ON THE GOOD, AND SENDETH RAIN ON
THE JUST AND ON THE UNJUST. 46 FOR IF YE LOVE THEM WHICH
LOVE YOU, WHAT REWARD HAVE YE? DO NOT EVEN THE PUBLICANS
THE SAME? 47 AND IF YE SALUTE YOUR BRETHREN ONLY, WHAT DO
YE MORE THAN OTHERS? DO NOT EVEN THE PUBLICANS SO? 48 BE
YE THEREFORE PERFECT, EVEN AS YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN

FASTEST, ANOINT THINE HEAD, AND WASH THY FACE; 18 THAT THOU
CHAPTER 6 APPEAR NOT UNTO MEN TO FAST, BUT UNTO THY FATHER WHICH IS

TAKE HEED THAT YE DO NOT YOUR ALMS BEFORE MEN, TO BE SEEN REWARD THEE OPENLY. 19 LAY NOT UP FOR YOURSELVES
OF THEM: OTHERWISE YE HAVE NO REWARD OF YOUR FATHER TREASURES UPON EARTH, WHERE MOTH AND RUST DOTH CORRUPT,
WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. 2 THEREFORE WHEN THOU DOEST THINE AND WHERE THIEVES BREAK THROUGH AND STEAL: 20 BUT LAY UP
ALMS, DO NOT SOUND A TRUMPET BEFORE THEE, AS THE FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES IN HEAVEN, WHERE NEITHER MOTH
HYPOCRITES DO IN THE SYNAGOGUES AND IN THE STREETS, THAT NOR RUST DOTH CORRUPT, AND WHERE THIEVES DO NOT BREAK
THEY MAY HAVE GLORY OF MEN. VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THEY THROUGH NOR STEAL: 21 FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE
HAVE THEIR REWARD. 3 BUT WHEN THOU DOEST ALMS, LET NOT WILL YOUR HEART BE ALSO. 22 THE LIGHT OF THE BODY IS THE EYE:
THY LEFT HAND KNOW WHAT THY RIGHT HAND DOETH: 4 THAT IF THEREFORE THINE EYE BE SINGLE, THY WHOLE BODY SHALL BE
THINE ALMS MAY BE IN SECRET: AND THY FATHER WHICH SEETH IN FULL OF LIGHT. 23 BUT IF THINE EYE BE EVIL, THY WHOLE BODY
SECRET HIMSELF SHALL REWARD THEE OPENLY. 5 AND WHEN THOU SHALL BE FULL OF DARKNESS. IF THEREFORE THE LIGHT THAT IS IN
PRAYEST, THOU SHALT NOT BE AS THE HYPOCRITES ARE: FOR THEY THEE BE DARKNESS, HOW GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS! 24 NO MAN
LOVE TO PRAY STANDING IN THE SYNAGOGUES AND IN THE CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS: FOR EITHER HE WILL HATE THE ONE,
CORNERS OF THE STREETS, THAT THEY MAY BE SEEN OF MEN. AND LOVE THE OTHER; OR ELSE HE WILL HOLD TO THE ONE, AND
VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THEY HAVE THEIR REWARD. 6 BUT THOU, DESPISE THE OTHER. YE CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON. 25
WHEN THOU PRAYEST, ENTER INTO THY CLOSET, AND WHEN THOU THEREFORE I SAY UNTO YOU, TAKE NO THOUGHT FOR YOUR LIFE,
HAST SHUT THY DOOR, PRAY TO THY FATHER WHICH IS IN SECRET; WHAT YE SHALL EAT, OR WHAT YE SHALL DRINK; NOR YET FOR YOUR

OPENLY. 7 BUT WHEN YE PRAY, USE NOT VAIN REPETITIONS, AS THE AND THE BODY THAN RAIMENT? 26 BEHOLD THE FOWLS OF THE AIR:
HEATHEN DO: FOR THEY THINK THAT THEY SHALL BE HEARD FOR FOR THEY SOW NOT, NEITHER DO THEY REAP, NOR GATHER INTO
THEIR MUCH SPEAKING. 8 BE NOT YE THEREFORE LIKE UNTO THEM: BARNS; YET YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER FEEDETH THEM. ARE YE NOT
FOR YOUR FATHER KNOWETH WHAT THINGS YE HAVE NEED OF, MUCH BETTER THAN THEY? 27 WHICH OF YOU BY TAKING THOUGHT
BEFORE YE ASK HIM. 9 AFTER THIS MANNER THEREFORE PRAY YE: CAN ADD ONE CUBIT UNTO HIS STATURE? 28 AND WHY TAKE YE
OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. 10 THOUGHT FOR RAIMENT? CONSIDER THE LILIES OF THE FIELD, HOW

FOR IF YE FORGIVE MEN THEIR TRESPASSES, YOUR HEAVENLY YE OF LITTLE FAITH? 31 THEREFORE TAKE NO THOUGHT, SAYING,
FATHER WILL ALSO FORGIVE YOU: 15 BUT IF YE FORGIVE NOT MEN WHAT SHALL WE EAT? OR, WHAT SHALL WE DRINK? OR,

TRESPASSES. 16 MOREOVER WHEN YE FAST, BE NOT, AS THE THINGS DO THE GENTILES SEEK:) FOR YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER

BEHOLDEST THOU THE MOTE THAT IS IN THY BROTHER’S EYE, BUT LEADETH UNTO LIFE, AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT. 15 BEWARE
CONSIDEREST NOT THE BEAM THAT IS IN THINE OWN EYE? 4 OR OF FALSE PROPHETS, WHICH COME TO YOU IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING,
HOW WILT THOU SAY TO THY BROTHER, LET ME PULL OUT THE MOTE BUT INWARDLY THEY ARE RAVENING WOLVES. 16 YE SHALL KNOW

FOUNDED UPON A ROCK. 26 AND EVERY ONE THAT HEARETH THESE

CANST MAKE ME CLEAN. 3 AND JESUS PUT FORTH HIS HAND, AND UNTO HIM, THE FOXES HAVE HOLES, AND THE BIRDS OF THE AIR
TOUCHED HIM, SAYING, I WILL; BE THOU CLEAN. AND IMMEDIATELY HAVE NESTS; BUT THE SON OF MAN HATH NOT WHERE TO LAY HIS
HIS LEPROSY WAS CLEANSED. 4 AND JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, SEE HEAD. 21 AND ANOTHER OF HIS DISCIPLES SAID UNTO HIM, LORD,
THOU TELL NO MAN; BUT GO THY WAY, SHEW THYSELF TO THE SUFFER ME FIRST TO GO AND BURY MY FATHER. 22 BUT JESUS SAID
PRIEST, AND OFFER THE GIFT THAT MOSES COMMANDED, FOR A UNTO HIM, FOLLOW ME; AND LET THE DEAD BURY THEIR DEAD. 23

THE PALSY, GRIEVOUSLY TORMENTED. 7 AND JESUS SAITH UNTO WAVES: BUT HE WAS ASLEEP. 25 AND HIS DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM,
HIM, I WILL COME AND HEAL HIM. 8 THE CENTURION ANSWERED AND AWOKE HIM, SAYING, LORD, SAVE US: WE PERISH. 26 AND HE
AND SAID, LORD, I AM NOT WORTHY THAT THOU SHOULDEST COME SAITH UNTO THEM, WHY ARE YE FEARFUL, O YE OF LITTLE FAITH?
UNDER MY ROOF: BUT SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, AND MY SERVANT THEN HE AROSE, AND REBUKED THE WINDS AND THE SEA; AND
SHALL BE HEALED. 9 FOR I AM A MAN UNDER AUTHORITY, HAVING THERE WAS A GREAT CALM. 27 BUT THE MEN MARVELLED, SAYING,
SOLDIERS UNDER ME: AND I SAY TO THIS MAN, GO, AND HE GOETH; WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS THIS, THAT EVEN THE WINDS AND THE
AND TO ANOTHER, COME, AND HE COMETH; AND TO MY SERVANT, SEA OBEY HIM! 28 AND WHEN HE WAS COME TO THE OTHER SIDE
DO THIS, AND HE DOETH IT. 10 WHEN JESUS HEARD IT, HE INTO THE COUNTRY OF THE GERGESENES, THERE MET HIM TWO
MARVELLED, AND SAID TO THEM THAT FOLLOWED, VERILY I SAY POSSESSED WITH DEVILS, COMING OUT OF THE TOMBS, EXCEEDING
UNTO YOU, I HAVE NOT FOUND SO GREAT FAITH, NO, NOT IN ISRAEL. FIERCE, SO THAT NO MAN MIGHT PASS BY THAT WAY. 29 AND,
11 AND I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT MANY SHALL COME FROM THE EAST BEHOLD, THEY CRIED OUT, SAYING, WHAT HAVE WE TO DO WITH
AND WEST, AND SHALL SIT DOWN WITH ABRAHAM, AND ISAAC, AND THEE, JESUS, THOU SON OF GOD? ART THOU COME HITHER TO
JACOB, IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. 12 BUT THE CHILDREN OF THE TORMENT US BEFORE THE TIME? 30 AND THERE WAS A GOOD WAY
KINGDOM SHALL BE CAST OUT INTO OUTER DARKNESS: THERE OFF FROM THEM AN HERD OF MANY SWINE FEEDING. 31 SO THE
SHALL BE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH. 13 AND JESUS SAID DEVILS BESOUGHT HIM, SAYING, IF THOU CAST US OUT, SUFFER US
UNTO THE CENTURION, GO THY WAY; AND AS THOU HAST BELIEVED, TO GO AWAY INTO THE HERD OF SWINE. 32 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM,
SO BE IT DONE UNTO THEE. AND HIS SERVANT WAS HEALED IN THE GO. AND WHEN THEY WERE COME OUT, THEY WENT INTO THE HERD
SELFSAME HOUR. 14 AND WHEN JESUS WAS COME INTO PETER’S OF SWINE: AND, BEHOLD, THE WHOLE HERD OF SWINE RAN
HOUSE, HE SAW HIS WIFE’S MOTHER LAID, AND SICK OF A FEVER. VIOLENTLY DOWN A STEEP PLACE INTO THE SEA, AND PERISHED IN
15 AND HE TOUCHED HER HAND, AND THE FEVER LEFT HER: AND THE WATERS. 33 AND THEY THAT KEPT THEM FLED, AND WENT

HIS OWN CITY. 2 AND, BEHOLD, THEY BROUGHT TO HIM A MAN SICK A CERTAIN RULER, AND WORSHIPPED HIM, SAYING, MY DAUGHTER
OF THE PALSY, LYING ON A BED: AND JESUS SEEING THEIR FAITH IS EVEN NOW DEAD: BUT COME AND LAY THY HAND UPON HER, AND
SAID UNTO THE SICK OF THE PALSY; SON, BE OF GOOD CHEER; THY SHE SHALL LIVE. 19 AND JESUS AROSE, AND FOLLOWED HIM, AND
SINS BE FORGIVEN THEE. 3 AND, BEHOLD, CERTAIN OF THE SCRIBES SO DID HIS DISCIPLES. 20 AND, BEHOLD, A WOMAN, WHICH WAS
SAID WITHIN THEMSELVES, THIS MAN BLASPHEMETH. 4 AND JESUS DISEASED WITH AN ISSUE OF BLOOD TWELVE YEARS, CAME BEHIND
KNOWING THEIR THOUGHTS SAID, WHEREFORE THINK YE EVIL IN HIM, AND TOUCHED THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT: 21 FOR SHE SAID
YOUR HEARTS? 5 FOR WHETHER IS EASIER, TO SAY, THY SINS BE WITHIN HERSELF, IF I MAY BUT TOUCH HIS GARMENT, I SHALL BE
FORGIVEN THEE; OR TO SAY, ARISE, AND WALK? 6 BUT THAT YE MAY WHOLE. 22 BUT JESUS TURNED HIM ABOUT, AND WHEN HE SAW
KNOW THAT THE SON OF MAN HATH POWER ON EARTH TO FORGIVE HER, HE SAID, DAUGHTER, BE OF GOOD COMFORT; THY FAITH HATH
SINS, (THEN SAITH HE TO THE SICK OF THE PALSY,) ARISE, TAKE UP MADE THEE WHOLE. AND THE WOMAN WAS MADE WHOLE FROM
THY BED, AND GO UNTO THINE HOUSE. 7 AND HE AROSE, AND THAT HOUR. 23 AND WHEN JESUS CAME INTO THE RULER’S HOUSE,
DEPARTED TO HIS HOUSE. 8 BUT WHEN THE MULTITUDES SAW IT, AND SAW THE MINSTRELS AND THE PEOPLE MAKING A NOISE, 24 HE
THEY MARVELLED, AND GLORIFIED GOD, WHICH HAD GIVEN SUCH SAID UNTO THEM, GIVE PLACE: FOR THE MAID IS NOT DEAD, BUT
POWER UNTO MEN. 9 AND AS JESUS PASSED FORTH FROM THENCE, SLEEPETH. AND THEY LAUGHED HIM TO SCORN. 25 BUT WHEN THE

CUSTOM: AND HE SAITH UNTO HIM, FOLLOW ME. AND HE AROSE, HAND, AND THE MAID AROSE. 26 AND THE FAME HEREOF WENT
AND FOLLOWED HIM. 10 AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS JESUS SAT AT ABROAD INTO ALL THAT LAND. 27 AND WHEN JESUS DEPARTED

CAME AND SAT DOWN WITH HIM AND HIS DISCIPLES. 11 AND WHEN THOU SON OF DAVID, HAVE MERCY ON US. 28 AND WHEN HE WAS

EATETH YOUR MASTER WITH PUBLICANS AND SINNERS? 12 BUT SAITH UNTO THEM, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? THEY
WHEN JESUS HEARD THAT, HE SAID UNTO THEM, THEY THAT BE SAID UNTO HIM, YEA, LORD. 29 THEN TOUCHED HE THEIR EYES,
WHOLE NEED NOT A PHYSICIAN, BUT THEY THAT ARE SICK. 13 BUT SAYING, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 AND THEIR
GO YE AND LEARN WHAT THAT MEANETH, I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND EYES WERE OPENED; AND JESUS STRAITLY CHARGED THEM, SAYING,
NOT SACRIFICE: FOR I AM NOT COME TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT SEE THAT NO MAN KNOW IT. 31 BUT THEY, WHEN THEY WERE
SINNERS TO REPENTANCE. 14 THEN CAME TO HIM THE DISCIPLES OF DEPARTED, SPREAD ABROAD HIS FAME IN ALL THAT COUNTRY. 32 AS
JOHN, SAYING, WHY DO WE AND THE PHARISEES FAST OFT, BUT THY THEY WENT OUT, BEHOLD, THEY BROUGHT TO HIM A DUMB MAN

HE, OF WHOM IT IS WRITTEN, BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER NEITHER KNOWETH ANY MAN THE FATHER, SAVE THE SON, AND HE
BEFORE THY FACE, WHICH SHALL PREPARE THY WAY BEFORE THEE. TO WHOMSOEVER THE SON WILL REVEAL HIM. 28 COME UNTO ME,
11 VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, AMONG THEM THAT ARE BORN OF ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU
WOMEN THERE HATH NOT RISEN A GREATER THAN JOHN THE REST. 29 TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU, AND LEARN OF ME; FOR I AM
BAPTIST: NOTWITHSTANDING HE THAT IS LEAST IN THE KINGDOM MEEK AND LOWLY IN HEART: AND YE SHALL FIND REST UNTO YOUR

THE BAPTIST UNTIL NOW THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN SUFFERETH
VIOLENCE, AND THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE. 13 FOR ALL THE
PROPHETS AND THE LAW PROPHESIED UNTIL JOHN. 14 AND IF YE

SITTING IN THE MARKETS, AND CALLING UNTO THEIR FELLOWS, 17

WHEN HE WAS AN HUNGRED, AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM; 4 WERE AMAZED, AND SAID, IS NOT THIS THE SON OF DAVID? 24 BUT
HOW HE ENTERED INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD, AND DID EAT THE WHEN THE PHARISEES HEARD IT, THEY SAID, THIS FELLOW DOTH
SHEWBREAD, WHICH WAS NOT LAWFUL FOR HIM TO EAT, NEITHER NOT CAST OUT DEVILS, BUT BY BEELZEBUB THE PRINCE OF THE

DAYS THE PRIESTS IN THE TEMPLE PROFANE THE SABBATH, AND ARE DESOLATION; AND EVERY CITY OR HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF
BLAMELESS? 6 BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT IN THIS PLACE IS ONE SHALL NOT STAND: 26 AND IF SATAN CAST OUT SATAN, HE IS
GREATER THAN THE TEMPLE. 7 BUT IF YE HAD KNOWN WHAT THIS DIVIDED AGAINST HIMSELF; HOW SHALL THEN HIS KINGDOM STAND?
MEANETH, I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND NOT SACRIFICE, YE WOULD 27 AND IF I BY BEELZEBUB CAST OUT DEVILS, BY WHOM DO YOUR
NOT HAVE CONDEMNED THE GUILTLESS. 8 FOR THE SON OF MAN IS CHILDREN CAST THEM OUT? THEREFORE THEY SHALL BE YOUR
LORD EVEN OF THE SABBATH DAY. 9 AND WHEN HE WAS DEPARTED JUDGES. 28 BUT IF I CAST OUT DEVILS BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEN
THENCE, HE WENT INTO THEIR SYNAGOGUE: 10 AND, BEHOLD, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME UNTO YOU. 29 OR ELSE HOW CAN
THERE WAS A MAN WHICH HAD HIS HAND WITHERED. AND THEY ONE ENTER INTO A STRONG MAN’S HOUSE, AND SPOIL HIS GOODS,
ASKED HIM, SAYING, IS IT LAWFUL TO HEAL ON THE SABBATH DAYS? EXCEPT HE FIRST BIND THE STRONG MAN? AND THEN HE WILL SPOIL
THAT THEY MIGHT ACCUSE HIM. 11 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHAT HIS HOUSE. 30 HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME; AND HE
MAN SHALL THERE BE AMONG YOU, THAT SHALL HAVE ONE SHEEP, THAT GATHERETH NOT WITH ME SCATTERETH ABROAD. 31
AND IF IT FALL INTO A PIT ON THE SABBATH DAY, WILL HE NOT LAY WHEREFORE I SAY UNTO YOU, ALL MANNER OF SIN AND BLASPHEMY
HOLD ON IT, AND LIFT IT OUT? 12 HOW MUCH THEN IS A MAN SHALL BE FORGIVEN UNTO MEN: BUT THE BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE
BETTER THAN A SHEEP? WHEREFORE IT IS LAWFUL TO DO WELL ON HOLY GHOST SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN UNTO MEN. 32 AND
THE SABBATH DAYS. 13 THEN SAITH HE TO THE MAN, STRETCH WHOSOEVER SPEAKETH A WORD AGAINST THE SON OF MAN, IT
FORTH THINE HAND. AND HE STRETCHED IT FORTH; AND IT WAS SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM: BUT WHOSOEVER SPEAKETH AGAINST THE
RESTORED WHOLE, LIKE AS THE OTHER. 14 THEN THE PHARISEES HOLY GHOST, IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN HIM, NEITHER IN THIS
WENT OUT, AND HELD A COUNCIL AGAINST HIM, HOW THEY MIGHT WORLD, NEITHER IN THE WORLD TO COME. 33 EITHER MAKE THE
DESTROY HIM. 15 BUT WHEN JESUS KNEW IT, HE WITHDREW TREE GOOD, AND HIS FRUIT GOOD; OR ELSE MAKE THE TREE
HIMSELF FROM THENCE: AND GREAT MULTITUDES FOLLOWED HIM, CORRUPT, AND HIS FRUIT CORRUPT: FOR THE TREE IS KNOWN BY
AND HE HEALED THEM ALL; 16 AND CHARGED THEM THAT THEY HIS FRUIT. 34 O GENERATION OF VIPERS, HOW CAN YE, BEING EVIL,
SHOULD NOT MAKE HIM KNOWN: 17 THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED SPEAK GOOD THINGS? FOR OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART
WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY ESAIAS THE PROPHET, SAYING, 18 BEHOLD THE MOUTH SPEAKETH. 35 A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD

EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE BRINGETH FORTH EVIL

SHALL SPEAK, THEY SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT THEREOF IN THE DAY OF
JUDGMENT. 37 FOR BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE JUSTIFIED, AND
BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE CONDEMNED. 38 THEN CERTAIN OF
THE SCRIBES AND OF THE PHARISEES ANSWERED, SAYING, MASTER,
WE WOULD SEE A SIGN FROM THEE. 39 BUT HE ANSWERED AND SAID
UNTO THEM, AN EVIL AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION SEEKETH
AFTER A SIGN; AND THERE SHALL NO SIGN BE GIVEN TO IT, BUT THE
SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAS: 40 FOR AS JONAS WAS THREE DAYS
AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE WHALE’S BELLY; SO SHALL THE SON OF
MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE
EARTH. 41 THE MEN OF NINEVEH SHALL RISE IN JUDGMENT WITH
THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: BECAUSE THEY
REPENTED AT THE PREACHING OF JONAS; AND, BEHOLD, A GREATER
THAN JONAS IS HERE. 42 THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH SHALL RISE UP
IN THE JUDGMENT WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN
IT: FOR SHE CAME FROM THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH TO
HEAR THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON; AND, BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN
SOLOMON IS HERE. 43 WHEN THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT IS GONE OUT OF
A MAN, HE WALKETH THROUGH DRY PLACES, SEEKING REST, AND
FINDETH NONE. 44 THEN HE SAITH, I WILL RETURN INTO MY HOUSE
FROM WHENCE I CAME OUT; AND WHEN HE IS COME, HE FINDETH
IT EMPTY, SWEPT, AND GARNISHED. 45 THEN GOETH HE, AND
TAKETH WITH HIMSELF SEVEN OTHER SPIRITS MORE WICKED THAN
HIMSELF, AND THEY ENTER IN AND DWELL THERE: AND THE LAST
STATE OF THAT MAN IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST. EVEN SO SHALL IT
BE ALSO UNTO THIS WICKED GENERATION. 46 WHILE HE YET TALKED
TO THE PEOPLE, BEHOLD, HIS MOTHER AND HIS BRETHREN STOOD
WITHOUT, DESIRING TO SPEAK WITH HIM. 47 THEN ONE SAID UNTO
HIM, BEHOLD, THY MOTHER AND THY BRETHREN STAND WITHOUT,
DESIRING TO SPEAK WITH THEE. 48 BUT HE ANSWERED AND SAID
UNTO HIM THAT TOLD HIM, WHO IS MY MOTHER? AND WHO ARE MY
BRETHREN? 49 AND HE STRETCHED FORTH HIS HAND TOWARD HIS
DISCIPLES, AND SAID, BEHOLD MY MOTHER AND MY BRETHREN! 50
FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN

THE SAME DAY WENT JESUS OUT OF THE HOUSE, AND SAT BY THE ONE HEARETH THE WORD OF THE KINGDOM, AND UNDERSTANDETH
SEA SIDE. 2 AND GREAT MULTITUDES WERE GATHERED TOGETHER IT NOT, THEN COMETH THE WICKED ONE, AND CATCHETH AWAY
UNTO HIM, SO THAT HE WENT INTO A SHIP, AND SAT; AND THE THAT WHICH WAS SOWN IN HIS HEART. THIS IS HE WHICH RECEIVED
WHOLE MULTITUDE STOOD ON THE SHORE. 3 AND HE SPAKE MANY SEED BY THE WAY SIDE. 20 BUT HE THAT RECEIVED THE SEED INTO
THINGS UNTO THEM IN PARABLES, SAYING, BEHOLD, A SOWER STONY PLACES, THE SAME IS HE THAT HEARETH THE WORD, AND
WENT FORTH TO SOW; 4 AND WHEN HE SOWED, SOME SEEDS FELL ANON WITH JOY RECEIVETH IT; 21 YET HATH HE NOT ROOT IN
BY THE WAY SIDE, AND THE FOWLS CAME AND DEVOURED THEM UP: HIMSELF, BUT DURETH FOR A WHILE: FOR WHEN TRIBULATION OR
5 SOME FELL UPON STONY PLACES, WHERE THEY HAD NOT MUCH PERSECUTION ARISETH BECAUSE OF THE WORD, BY AND BY HE IS
EARTH: AND FORTHWITH THEY SPRUNG UP, BECAUSE THEY HAD NO OFFENDED. 22 HE ALSO THAT RECEIVED SEED AMONG THE THORNS
DEEPNESS OF EARTH: 6 AND WHEN THE SUN WAS UP, THEY WERE IS HE THAT HEARETH THE WORD; AND THE CARE OF THIS WORLD,
SCORCHED; AND BECAUSE THEY HAD NO ROOT, THEY WITHERED AND THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES, CHOKE THE WORD, AND HE

AND SAID UNTO THEM, BECAUSE IT IS GIVEN UNTO YOU TO KNOW GOOD SEED IN HIS FIELD: 25 BUT WHILE MEN SLEPT, HIS ENEMY

THEREFORE SPEAK I TO THEM IN PARABLES: BECAUSE THEY SEEING THOU SOW GOOD SEED IN THY FIELD? FROM WHENCE THEN HATH
SEE NOT; AND HEARING THEY HEAR NOT, NEITHER DO THEY IT TARES? 28 HE SAID UNTO THEM, AN ENEMY HATH DONE THIS. THE
UNDERSTAND. 14 AND IN THEM IS FULFILLED THE PROPHECY OF SERVANTS SAID UNTO HIM, WILT THOU THEN THAT WE GO AND
ESAIAS, WHICH SAITH, BY HEARING YE SHALL HEAR, AND SHALL NOT GATHER THEM UP? 29 BUT HE SAID, NAY; LEST WHILE YE GATHER
UNDERSTAND; AND SEEING YE SHALL SEE, AND SHALL NOT UP THE TARES, YE ROOT UP ALSO THE WHEAT WITH THEM. 30 LET
PERCEIVE: 15 FOR THIS PEOPLE’S HEART IS WAXED GROSS, AND BOTH GROW TOGETHER UNTIL THE HARVEST: AND IN THE TIME OF
THEIR EARS ARE DULL OF HEARING, AND THEIR EYES THEY HAVE HARVEST I WILL SAY TO THE REAPERS, GATHER YE TOGETHER FIRST
CLOSED; LEST AT ANY TIME THEY SHOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, THE TARES, AND BIND THEM IN BUNDLES TO BURN THEM: BUT

THEM. 16 BUT BLESSED ARE YOUR EYES, FOR THEY SEE: AND YOUR A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, WHICH A MAN TOOK, AND SOWED IN
EARS, FOR THEY HEAR. 17 FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT MANY HIS FIELD: 32 WHICH INDEED IS THE LEAST OF ALL SEEDS: BUT
PROPHETS AND RIGHTEOUS MEN HAVE DESIRED TO SEE THOSE WHEN IT IS GROWN, IT IS THE GREATEST AMONG HERBS, AND

BECOMETH A TREE, SO THAT THE BIRDS OF THE AIR COME AND ANGELS SHALL COME FORTH, AND SEVER THE WICKED FROM

WHICH A WOMAN TOOK, AND HID IN THREE MEASURES OF MEAL, JESUS SAITH UNTO THEM, HAVE YE UNDERSTOOD ALL THESE THINGS?
TILL THE WHOLE WAS LEAVENED. 34 ALL THESE THINGS SPAKE THEY SAY UNTO HIM, YEA, LORD. 52 THEN SAID HE UNTO THEM,
JESUS UNTO THE MULTITUDE IN PARABLES; AND WITHOUT A THEREFORE EVERY SCRIBE WHICH IS INSTRUCTED UNTO THE
PARABLE SPAKE HE NOT UNTO THEM: 35 THAT IT MIGHT BE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO A MAN THAT IS AN

OPEN MY MOUTH IN PARABLES; I WILL UTTER THINGS WHICH HAVE THINGS NEW AND OLD. 53 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT WHEN JESUS
BEEN KEPT SECRET FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. 36 HAD FINISHED THESE PARABLES, HE DEPARTED THENCE. 54 AND
THEN JESUS SENT THE MULTITUDE AWAY, AND WENT INTO THE WHEN HE WAS COME INTO HIS OWN COUNTRY, HE TAUGHT THEM
HOUSE: AND HIS DISCIPLES CAME UNTO HIM, SAYING, DECLARE IN THEIR SYNAGOGUE, INSOMUCH THAT THEY WERE ASTONISHED,
UNTO US THE PARABLE OF THE TARES OF THE FIELD. 37 HE AND SAID, WHENCE HATH THIS MAN THIS WISDOM, AND THESE
ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, HE THAT SOWETH THE GOOD MIGHTY WORKS? 55 IS NOT THIS THE CARPENTER’S SON? IS NOT HIS
SEED IS THE SON OF MAN; 38 THE FIELD IS THE WORLD; THE GOOD MOTHER CALLED MARY? AND HIS BRETHREN, JAMES, AND JOSES,

THE CHILDREN OF THE WICKED ONE; 39 THE ENEMY THAT SOWED WITH US? WHENCE THEN HATH THIS MAN ALL THESE THINGS? 57
THEM IS THE DEVIL; THE HARVEST IS THE END OF THE WORLD; AND AND THEY WERE OFFENDED IN HIM. BUT JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, A
THE REAPERS ARE THE ANGELS. 40 AS THEREFORE THE TARES ARE PROPHET IS NOT WITHOUT HONOUR, SAVE IN HIS OWN COUNTRY,
GATHERED AND BURNED IN THE FIRE; SO SHALL IT BE IN THE END AND IN HIS OWN HOUSE. 58 AND HE DID NOT MANY MIGHTY WORKS
OF THIS WORLD. 41 THE SON OF MAN SHALL SEND FORTH HIS THERE BECAUSE OF THEIR UNBELIEF.
ANGELS, AND THEY SHALL GATHER OUT OF HIS KINGDOM ALL

SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN IN THE KINGDOM OF THEIR FATHER. WHO
HATH EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR. 44 AGAIN, THE KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO TREASURE HID IN A FIELD; THE WHICH WHEN
A MAN HATH FOUND, HE HIDETH, AND FOR JOY THEREOF GOETH
AND SELLETH ALL THAT HE HATH, AND BUYETH THAT FIELD. 45
AGAIN, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO A MERCHANT MAN,
SEEKING GOODLY PEARLS: 46 WHO, WHEN HE HAD FOUND ONE
PEARL OF GREAT PRICE, WENT AND SOLD ALL THAT HE HAD, AND
BOUGHT IT. 47 AGAIN, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO A

REMAINED TWELVE BASKETS FULL. 21 AND THEY THAT HAD EATEN
AT THAT TIME HEROD THE TETRARCH HEARD OF THE FAME OF JESUS, WERE ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND MEN, BESIDE WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
2 AND SAID UNTO HIS SERVANTS, THIS IS JOHN THE BAPTIST; HE IS 22 AND STRAIGHTWAY JESUS CONSTRAINED HIS DISCIPLES TO GET
RISEN FROM THE DEAD; AND THEREFORE MIGHTY WORKS DO SHEW INTO A SHIP, AND TO GO BEFORE HIM UNTO THE OTHER SIDE, WHILE
FORTH THEMSELVES IN HIM. 3 FOR HEROD HAD LAID HOLD ON JOHN, HE SENT THE MULTITUDES AWAY. 23 AND WHEN HE HAD SENT THE

HIS BROTHER PHILIP’S WIFE. 4 FOR JOHN SAID UNTO HIM, IT IS NOT AND WHEN THE EVENING WAS COME, HE WAS THERE ALONE. 24
LAWFUL FOR THEE TO HAVE HER. 5 AND WHEN HE WOULD HAVE BUT THE SHIP WAS NOW IN THE MIDST OF THE SEA, TOSSED WITH

COUNTED HIM AS A PROPHET. 6 BUT WHEN HEROD’S BIRTHDAY WAS WATCH OF THE NIGHT JESUS WENT UNTO THEM, WALKING ON THE
KEPT, THE DAUGHTER OF HERODIAS DANCED BEFORE THEM, AND SEA. 26 AND WHEN THE DISCIPLES SAW HIM WALKING ON THE SEA,
PLEASED HEROD. 7 WHEREUPON HE PROMISED WITH AN OATH TO THEY WERE TROUBLED, SAYING, IT IS A SPIRIT; AND THEY CRIED OUT
GIVE HER WHATSOEVER SHE WOULD ASK. 8 AND SHE, BEING BEFORE FOR FEAR. 27 BUT STRAIGHTWAY JESUS SPAKE UNTO THEM, SAYING,
INSTRUCTED OF HER MOTHER, SAID, GIVE ME HERE JOHN BAPTIST’S BE OF GOOD CHEER; IT IS I; BE NOT AFRAID. 28 AND PETER
HEAD IN A CHARGER. 9 AND THE KING WAS SORRY: NEVERTHELESS ANSWERED HIM AND SAID, LORD, IF IT BE THOU, BID ME COME
FOR THE OATH’S SAKE, AND THEM WHICH SAT WITH HIM AT MEAT, UNTO THEE ON THE WATER. 29 AND HE SAID, COME. AND WHEN
HE COMMANDED IT TO BE GIVEN HER. 10 AND HE SENT, AND PETER WAS COME DOWN OUT OF THE SHIP, HE WALKED ON THE
BEHEADED JOHN IN THE PRISON. 11 AND HIS HEAD WAS BROUGHT WATER, TO GO TO JESUS. 30 BUT WHEN HE SAW THE WIND
IN A CHARGER, AND GIVEN TO THE DAMSEL: AND SHE BROUGHT IT BOISTEROUS, HE WAS AFRAID; AND BEGINNING TO SINK, HE CRIED,
TO HER MOTHER. 12 AND HIS DISCIPLES CAME, AND TOOK UP THE SAYING, LORD, SAVE ME. 31 AND IMMEDIATELY JESUS STRETCHED
BODY, AND BURIED IT, AND WENT AND TOLD JESUS. 13 WHEN JESUS FORTH HIS HAND, AND CAUGHT HIM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, O THOU
HEARD OF IT, HE DEPARTED THENCE BY SHIP INTO A DESERT PLACE OF LITTLE FAITH, WHEREFORE DIDST THOU DOUBT? 32 AND WHEN
APART: AND WHEN THE PEOPLE HAD HEARD THEREOF, THEY THEY WERE COME INTO THE SHIP, THE WIND CEASED. 33 THEN THEY
FOLLOWED HIM ON FOOT OUT OF THE CITIES. 14 AND JESUS WENT THAT WERE IN THE SHIP CAME AND WORSHIPPED HIM, SAYING, OF
FORTH, AND SAW A GREAT MULTITUDE, AND WAS MOVED WITH A TRUTH THOU ART THE SON OF GOD. 34 AND WHEN THEY WERE
COMPASSION TOWARD THEM, AND HE HEALED THEIR SICK. 15 AND GONE OVER, THEY CAME INTO THE LAND OF GENNESARET. 35 AND

IS A DESERT PLACE, AND THE TIME IS NOW PAST; SEND THE SENT OUT INTO ALL THAT COUNTRY ROUND ABOUT, AND BROUGHT
MULTITUDE AWAY, THAT THEY MAY GO INTO THE VILLAGES, AND UNTO HIM ALL THAT WERE DISEASED; 36 AND BESOUGHT HIM THAT
BUY THEMSELVES VICTUALS. 16 BUT JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, THEY THEY MIGHT ONLY TOUCH THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT: AND AS
NEED NOT DEPART; GIVE YE THEM TO EAT. 17 AND THEY SAY UNTO MANY AS TOUCHED WERE MADE PERFECTLY WHOLE.
HIM, WE HAVE HERE BUT FIVE LOAVES, AND TWO FISHES. 18 HE
SAID, BRING THEM HITHER TO ME. 19 AND HE COMMANDED THE

13 WHEN JESUS CAME INTO THE COASTS OF CÆSAREA PHILIPPI, HE
ASKED HIS DISCIPLES, SAYING, WHOM DO MEN SAY THAT I THE SON
OF MAN AM? 14 AND THEY SAID, SOME SAY THAT THOU ART JOHN
THE BAPTIST: SOME, ELIAS; AND OTHERS, JEREMIAS, OR ONE OF THE
PROPHETS. 15 HE SAITH UNTO THEM, BUT WHOM SAY YE THAT I AM?
16 AND SIMON PETER ANSWERED AND SAID, THOU ART THE CHRIST,
THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD. 17 AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID
UNTO HIM, BLESSED ART THOU, SIMON BAR-JONA: FOR FLESH AND
BLOOD HATH NOT REVEALED IT UNTO THEE, BUT MY FATHER WHICH

 MATTHEW
THE CHILD WAS CURED FROM THAT VERY HOUR. 19 THEN CAME THE
CHAPTER 17 DISCIPLES TO JESUS APART, AND SAID, WHY COULD NOT WE CAST
HIM OUT? 20 AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, BECAUSE OF YOUR
AND AFTER SIX DAYS JESUS TAKETH PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN HIS UNBELIEF: FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, IF YE HAVE FAITH AS A
BROTHER, AND BRINGETH THEM UP INTO AN HIGH MOUNTAIN GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, YE SHALL SAY UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN,
APART, 2 AND WAS TRANSFIGURED BEFORE THEM: AND HIS FACE REMOVE HENCE TO YONDER PLACE; AND IT SHALL REMOVE; AND
DID SHINE AS THE SUN, AND HIS RAIMENT WAS WHITE AS THE LIGHT. NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE UNTO YOU. 21 HOWBEIT THIS KIND
3 AND, BEHOLD, THERE APPEARED UNTO THEM MOSES AND ELIAS GOETH NOT OUT BUT BY PRAYER AND FASTING. 22 AND WHILE THEY
TALKING WITH HIM. 4 THEN ANSWERED PETER, AND SAID UNTO ABODE IN GALILEE, JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, THE SON OF MAN
JESUS, LORD, IT IS GOOD FOR US TO BE HERE: IF THOU WILT, LET US SHALL BE BETRAYED INTO THE HANDS OF MEN: 23 AND THEY SHALL
MAKE HERE THREE TABERNACLES; ONE FOR THEE, AND ONE FOR KILL HIM, AND THE THIRD DAY HE SHALL BE RAISED AGAIN. AND
MOSES, AND ONE FOR ELIAS. 5 WHILE HE YET SPAKE, BEHOLD, A THEY WERE EXCEEDING SORRY. 24 AND WHEN THEY WERE COME TO
BRIGHT CLOUD OVERSHADOWED THEM: AND BEHOLD A VOICE OUT CAPERNAUM, THEY THAT RECEIVED TRIBUTE MONEY CAME TO
OF THE CLOUD, WHICH SAID, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I PETER, AND SAID, DOTH NOT YOUR MASTER PAY TRIBUTE? 25 HE
AM WELL PLEASED; HEAR YE HIM. 6 AND WHEN THE DISCIPLES SAITH, YES. AND WHEN HE WAS COME INTO THE HOUSE, JESUS
HEARD IT, THEY FELL ON THEIR FACE, AND WERE SORE AFRAID. 7 PREVENTED HIM, SAYING, WHAT THINKEST THOU, SIMON? OF
AND JESUS CAME AND TOUCHED THEM, AND SAID, ARISE, AND BE WHOM DO THE KINGS OF THE EARTH TAKE CUSTOM OR TRIBUTE? OF
NOT AFRAID. 8 AND WHEN THEY HAD LIFTED UP THEIR EYES, THEY THEIR OWN CHILDREN, OR OF STRANGERS? 26 PETER SAITH UNTO
SAW NO MAN, SAVE JESUS ONLY. 9 AND AS THEY CAME DOWN FROM HIM, OF STRANGERS. JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, THEN ARE THE
THE MOUNTAIN, JESUS CHARGED THEM, SAYING, TELL THE VISION CHILDREN FREE. 27 NOTWITHSTANDING, LEST WE SHOULD OFFEND
TO NO MAN, UNTIL THE SON OF MAN BE RISEN AGAIN FROM THE THEM, GO THOU TO THE SEA, AND CAST AN HOOK, AND TAKE UP
DEAD. 10 AND HIS DISCIPLES ASKED HIM, SAYING, WHY THEN SAY THE FISH THAT FIRST COMETH UP; AND WHEN THOU HAST OPENED
THE SCRIBES THAT ELIAS MUST FIRST COME? 11 AND JESUS HIS MOUTH, THOU SHALT FIND A PIECE OF MONEY: THAT TAKE, AND
ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, ELIAS TRULY SHALL FIRST COME, GIVE UNTO THEM FOR ME AND THEE.
AND RESTORE ALL THINGS. 12 BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT ELIAS IS
COME ALREADY, AND THEY KNEW HIM NOT, BUT HAVE DONE UNTO
HIM WHATSOEVER THEY LISTED. LIKEWISE SHALL ALSO THE SON OF
MAN SUFFER OF THEM. 13 THEN THE DISCIPLES UNDERSTOOD THAT
HE SPAKE UNTO THEM OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. 14 AND WHEN THEY
WERE COME TO THE MULTITUDE, THERE CAME TO HIM A CERTAIN
MAN, KNEELING DOWN TO HIM, AND SAYING, 15 LORD, HAVE
MERCY ON MY SON: FOR HE IS LUNATICK, AND SORE VEXED: FOR
OFTTIMES HE FALLETH INTO THE FIRE, AND OFT INTO THE WATER.
16 AND I BROUGHT HIM TO THY DISCIPLES, AND THEY COULD NOT
CURE HIM. 17 THEN JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID, O FAITHLESS AND
PERVERSE GENERATION, HOW LONG SHALL I BE WITH YOU? HOW
LONG SHALL I SUFFER YOU? BRING HIM HITHER TO ME. 18 AND
JESUS REBUKED THE DEVIL; AND HE DEPARTED OUT OF HIM: AND

CONVERTED, AND BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN, YE SHALL NOT ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN: AND WHATSOEVER YE
ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. 4 WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL LOOSE ON EARTH SHALL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN. 19 AGAIN I
SHALL HUMBLE HIMSELF AS THIS LITTLE CHILD, THE SAME IS SAY UNTO YOU, THAT IF TWO OF YOU SHALL AGREE ON EARTH AS
GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. 5 AND WHOSO SHALL TOUCHING ANY THING THAT THEY SHALL ASK, IT SHALL BE DONE

HANGED ABOUT HIS NECK, AND THAT HE WERE DROWNED IN THE HOW OFT SHALL MY BROTHER SIN AGAINST ME, AND I FORGIVE HIM?
DEPTH OF THE SEA. 7 WOE UNTO THE WORLD BECAUSE OF TILL SEVEN TIMES? 22 JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, I SAY NOT UNTO
OFFENCES! FOR IT MUST NEEDS BE THAT OFFENCES COME; BUT WOE THEE, UNTIL SEVEN TIMES: BUT, UNTIL SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN. 23
TO THAT MAN BY WHOM THE OFFENCE COMETH! 8 WHEREFORE IF THEREFORE IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN LIKENED UNTO A CERTAIN
THY HAND OR THY FOOT OFFEND THEE, CUT THEM OFF, AND CAST KING, WHICH WOULD TAKE ACCOUNT OF HIS SERVANTS. 24 AND
THEM FROM THEE: IT IS BETTER FOR THEE TO ENTER INTO LIFE HALT WHEN HE HAD BEGUN TO RECKON, ONE WAS BROUGHT UNTO HIM,
OR MAIMED, RATHER THAN HAVING TWO HANDS OR TWO FEET TO WHICH OWED HIM TEN THOUSAND TALENTS. 25 BUT FORASMUCH
BE CAST INTO EVERLASTING FIRE. 9 AND IF THINE EYE OFFEND THEE, AS HE HAD NOT TO PAY, HIS LORD COMMANDED HIM TO BE SOLD,
PLUCK IT OUT, AND CAST IT FROM THEE: IT IS BETTER FOR THEE TO AND HIS WIFE, AND CHILDREN, AND ALL THAT HE HAD, AND
ENTER INTO LIFE WITH ONE EYE, RATHER THAN HAVING TWO EYES PAYMENT TO BE MADE. 26 THE SERVANT THEREFORE FELL DOWN,
TO BE CAST INTO HELL FIRE. 10 TAKE HEED THAT YE DESPISE NOT AND WORSHIPPED HIM, SAYING, LORD, HAVE PATIENCE WITH ME,
ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES; FOR I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT IN HEAVEN AND I WILL PAY THEE ALL. 27 THEN THE LORD OF THAT SERVANT
THEIR ANGELS DO ALWAYS BEHOLD THE FACE OF MY FATHER WHICH WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION, AND LOOSED HIM, AND FORGAVE
IS IN HEAVEN. 11 FOR THE SON OF MAN IS COME TO SAVE THAT HIM THE DEBT. 28 BUT THE SAME SERVANT WENT OUT, AND FOUND
WHICH WAS LOST. 12 HOW THINK YE? IF A MAN HAVE AN HUNDRED ONE OF HIS FELLOWSERVANTS, WHICH OWED HIM AN HUNDRED
SHEEP, AND ONE OF THEM BE GONE ASTRAY, DOTH HE NOT LEAVE PENCE: AND HE LAID HANDS ON HIM, AND TOOK HIM BY THE
THE NINETY AND NINE, AND GOETH INTO THE MOUNTAINS, AND THROAT, SAYING, PAY ME THAT THOU OWEST. 29 AND HIS
SEEKETH THAT WHICH IS GONE ASTRAY? 13 AND IF SO BE THAT HE FELLOWSERVANT FELL DOWN AT HIS FEET, AND BESOUGHT HIM,
FIND IT, VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, HE REJOICETH MORE OF THAT SAYING, HAVE PATIENCE WITH ME, AND I WILL PAY THEE ALL. 30
SHEEP, THAN OF THE NINETY AND NINE WHICH WENT NOT ASTRAY. AND HE WOULD NOT: BUT WENT AND CAST HIM INTO PRISON, TILL
14 EVEN SO IT IS NOT THE WILL OF YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HE SHOULD PAY THE DEBT. 31 SO WHEN HIS FELLOWSERVANTS SAW
HEAVEN, THAT ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES SHOULD PERISH. 15 WHAT WAS DONE, THEY WERE VERY SORRY, AND CAME AND TOLD
MOREOVER IF THY BROTHER SHALL TRESPASS AGAINST THEE, GO UNTO THEIR LORD ALL THAT WAS DONE. 32 THEN HIS LORD, AFTER
AND TELL HIM HIS FAULT BETWEEN THEE AND HIM ALONE: IF HE THAT HE HAD CALLED HIM, SAID UNTO HIM, O THOU WICKED

1220
 MATTHEW
SERVANT, I FORGAVE THEE ALL THAT DEBT, BECAUSE THOU
DESIREDST ME: 33 SHOULDEST NOT THOU ALSO HAVE HAD
COMPASSION ON THY FELLOWSERVANT, EVEN AS I HAD PITY ON
THEE? 34 AND HIS LORD WAS WROTH, AND DELIVERED HIM TO THE
TORMENTORS, TILL HE SHOULD PAY ALL THAT WAS DUE UNTO HIM.
35 SO LIKEWISE SHALL MY HEAVENLY FATHER DO ALSO UNTO YOU,
IF YE FROM YOUR HEARTS FORGIVE NOT EVERY ONE HIS BROTHER
THEIR TRESPASSES.

 MATTHEW
SAID UNTO HIM, GOOD MASTER, WHAT GOOD THING SHALL I DO,
CHAPTER 19 THAT I MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE? 17 AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, WHY
CALLEST THOU ME GOOD? THERE IS NONE GOOD BUT ONE, THAT IS,
AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT WHEN JESUS HAD FINISHED THESE GOD: BUT IF THOU WILT ENTER INTO LIFE, KEEP THE
SAYINGS, HE DEPARTED FROM GALILEE, AND CAME INTO THE COMMANDMENTS. 18 HE SAITH UNTO HIM, WHICH? JESUS SAID,
COASTS OF JUDÆA BEYOND JORDAN; 2 AND GREAT MULTITUDES THOU SHALT DO NO MURDER, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,
FOLLOWED HIM; AND HE HEALED THEM THERE. 3 THE PHARISEES THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,
ALSO CAME UNTO HIM, TEMPTING HIM, AND SAYING UNTO HIM, IS 19 HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER: AND, THOU SHALT LOVE
IT LAWFUL FOR A MAN TO PUT AWAY HIS WIFE FOR EVERY CAUSE? THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. 20 THE YOUNG MAN SAITH UNTO HIM,
4 AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, HAVE YE NOT READ, ALL THESE THINGS HAVE I KEPT FROM MY YOUTH UP: WHAT LACK I
THAT HE WHICH MADE THEM AT THE BEGINNING MADE THEM MALE YET? 21 JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, IF THOU WILT BE PERFECT, GO AND
AND FEMALE, 5 AND SAID, FOR THIS CAUSE SHALL A MAN LEAVE SELL THAT THOU HAST, AND GIVE TO THE POOR, AND THOU SHALT
FATHER AND MOTHER, AND SHALL CLEAVE TO HIS WIFE: AND THEY HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN: AND COME AND FOLLOW ME. 22 BUT
TWAIN SHALL BE ONE FLESH? 6 WHEREFORE THEY ARE NO MORE WHEN THE YOUNG MAN HEARD THAT SAYING, HE WENT AWAY
TWAIN, BUT ONE FLESH. WHAT THEREFORE GOD HATH JOINED SORROWFUL: FOR HE HAD GREAT POSSESSIONS. 23 THEN SAID JESUS
TOGETHER, LET NOT MAN PUT ASUNDER. 7 THEY SAY UNTO HIM, UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT A RICH MAN
WHY DID MOSES THEN COMMAND TO GIVE A WRITING OF SHALL HARDLY ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. 24 AND
DIVORCEMENT, AND TO PUT HER AWAY? 8 HE SAITH UNTO THEM, AGAIN I SAY UNTO YOU, IT IS EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH
MOSES BECAUSE OF THE HARDNESS OF YOUR HEARTS SUFFERED THE EYE OF A NEEDLE, THAN FOR A RICH MAN TO ENTER INTO THE
YOU TO PUT AWAY YOUR WIVES: BUT FROM THE BEGINNING IT WAS KINGDOM OF GOD. 25 WHEN HIS DISCIPLES HEARD IT, THEY WERE
NOT SO. 9 AND I SAY UNTO YOU, WHOSOEVER SHALL PUT AWAY HIS EXCEEDINGLY AMAZED, SAYING, WHO THEN CAN BE SAVED? 26 BUT
WIFE, EXCEPT IT BE FOR FORNICATION, AND SHALL MARRY JESUS BEHELD THEM, AND SAID UNTO THEM, WITH MEN THIS IS
ANOTHER, COMMITTETH ADULTERY: AND WHOSO MARRIETH HER IMPOSSIBLE; BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. 27 THEN
WHICH IS PUT AWAY DOTH COMMIT ADULTERY. 10 HIS DISCIPLES ANSWERED PETER AND SAID UNTO HIM, BEHOLD, WE HAVE
SAY UNTO HIM, IF THE CASE OF THE MAN BE SO WITH HIS WIFE, IT FORSAKEN ALL, AND FOLLOWED THEE; WHAT SHALL WE HAVE
IS NOT GOOD TO MARRY. 11 BUT HE SAID UNTO THEM, ALL MEN THEREFORE? 28 AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, VERILY I SAY UNTO
CANNOT RECEIVE THIS SAYING, SAVE THEY TO WHOM IT IS GIVEN. YOU, THAT YE WHICH HAVE FOLLOWED ME, IN THE REGENERATION
12 FOR THERE ARE SOME EUNUCHS, WHICH WERE SO BORN FROM WHEN THE SON OF MAN SHALL SIT IN THE THRONE OF HIS GLORY,
THEIR MOTHER’S WOMB: AND THERE ARE SOME EUNUCHS, WHICH YE ALSO SHALL SIT UPON TWELVE THRONES, JUDGING THE TWELVE

THAT HE SHOULD PUT HIS HANDS ON THEM, AND PRAY: AND THE 30 BUT MANY THAT ARE FIRST SHALL BE LAST; AND THE LAST SHALL

THEY SHALL CONDEMN HIM TO DEATH, 19 AND SHALL DELIVER HIM

WITH THE LABOURERS FOR A PENNY A DAY, HE SENT THEM INTO GRANT THAT THESE MY TWO SONS MAY SIT, THE ONE ON THY RIGHT
HIS VINEYARD. 3 AND HE WENT OUT ABOUT THE THIRD HOUR, AND HAND, AND THE OTHER ON THE LEFT, IN THY KINGDOM. 22 BUT
SAW OTHERS STANDING IDLE IN THE MARKETPLACE, 4 AND SAID JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID, YE KNOW NOT WHAT YE ASK. ARE YE
UNTO THEM; GO YE ALSO INTO THE VINEYARD, AND WHATSOEVER ABLE TO DRINK OF THE CUP THAT I SHALL DRINK OF, AND TO BE

THEY LIKEWISE RECEIVED EVERY MAN A PENNY. 11 AND WHEN THEY HIM BE YOUR SERVANT: 28 EVEN AS THE SON OF MAN CAME NOT
HAD RECEIVED IT, THEY MURMURED AGAINST THE GOODMAN OF TO BE MINISTERED UNTO, BUT TO MINISTER, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE

BORNE THE BURDEN AND HEAT OF THE DAY. 13 BUT HE ANSWERED MEN SITTING BY THE WAY SIDE, WHEN THEY HEARD THAT JESUS
ONE OF THEM, AND SAID, FRIEND, I DO THEE NO WRONG: DIDST NOT PASSED BY, CRIED OUT, SAYING, HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD, THOU
THOU AGREE WITH ME FOR A PENNY? 14 TAKE THAT THINE IS, AND SON OF DAVID. 31 AND THE MULTITUDE REBUKED THEM, BECAUSE
GO THY WAY: I WILL GIVE UNTO THIS LAST, EVEN AS UNTO THEE. 15 THEY SHOULD HOLD THEIR PEACE: BUT THEY CRIED THE MORE,
IS IT NOT LAWFUL FOR ME TO DO WHAT I WILL WITH MINE OWN? IS SAYING, HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD, THOU SON OF DAVID. 32 AND
THINE EYE EVIL, BECAUSE I AM GOOD? 16 SO THE LAST SHALL BE JESUS STOOD STILL, AND CALLED THEM, AND SAID, WHAT WILL YE

IF ANY MAN SAY OUGHT UNTO YOU, YE SHALL SAY, THE LORD HATH SAID UNTO THEM, VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, IF YE HAVE FAITH, AND

1224
 MATTHEW
AND YE, WHEN YE HAD SEEN IT, REPENTED NOT AFTERWARD, THAT
YE MIGHT BELIEVE HIM. 33 HEAR ANOTHER PARABLE: THERE WAS A
CERTAIN HOUSEHOLDER, WHICH PLANTED A VINEYARD, AND
HEDGED IT ROUND ABOUT, AND DIGGED A WINEPRESS IN IT, AND
BUILT A TOWER, AND LET IT OUT TO HUSBANDMEN, AND WENT INTO
A FAR COUNTRY: 34 AND WHEN THE TIME OF THE FRUIT DREW NEAR,
HE SENT HIS SERVANTS TO THE HUSBANDMEN, THAT THEY MIGHT
RECEIVE THE FRUITS OF IT. 35 AND THE HUSBANDMEN TOOK HIS
SERVANTS, AND BEAT ONE, AND KILLED ANOTHER, AND STONED
ANOTHER. 36 AGAIN, HE SENT OTHER SERVANTS MORE THAN THE
FIRST: AND THEY DID UNTO THEM LIKEWISE. 37 BUT LAST OF ALL HE
SENT UNTO THEM HIS SON, SAYING, THEY WILL REVERENCE MY SON.
38 BUT WHEN THE HUSBANDMEN SAW THE SON, THEY SAID AMONG
THEMSELVES, THIS IS THE HEIR; COME, LET US KILL HIM, AND LET
US SEIZE ON HIS INHERITANCE. 39 AND THEY CAUGHT HIM, AND
CAST HIM OUT OF THE VINEYARD, AND SLEW HIM. 40 WHEN THE
LORD THEREFORE OF THE VINEYARD COMETH, WHAT WILL HE DO
UNTO THOSE HUSBANDMEN? 41 THEY SAY UNTO HIM, HE WILL
MISERABLY DESTROY THOSE WICKED MEN, AND WILL LET OUT HIS
VINEYARD UNTO OTHER HUSBANDMEN, WHICH SHALL RENDER HIM
THE FRUITS IN THEIR SEASONS. 42 JESUS SAITH UNTO THEM, DID YE
NEVER READ IN THE SCRIPTURES, THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS
REJECTED, THE SAME IS BECOME THE HEAD OF THE CORNER: THIS
IS THE LORD’S DOING, AND IT IS MARVELLOUS IN OUR EYES? 43
THEREFORE SAY I UNTO YOU, THE KINGDOM OF GOD SHALL BE
TAKEN FROM YOU, AND GIVEN TO A NATION BRINGING FORTH THE
FRUITS THEREOF. 44 AND WHOSOEVER SHALL FALL ON THIS STONE
SHALL BE BROKEN: BUT ON WHOMSOEVER IT SHALL FALL, IT WILL
GRIND HIM TO POWDER. 45 AND WHEN THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND
PHARISEES HAD HEARD HIS PARABLES, THEY PERCEIVED THAT HE
SPAKE OF THEM. 46 BUT WHEN THEY SOUGHT TO LAY HANDS ON
HIM, THEY FEARED THE MULTITUDE, BECAUSE THEY TOOK HIM FOR

BIDDEN WERE NOT WORTHY. 9 GO YE THEREFORE INTO THE UNTO THEM, YE DO ERR, NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE
HIGHWAYS, AND AS MANY AS YE SHALL FIND, BID TO THE MARRIAGE. POWER OF GOD. 30 FOR IN THE RESURRECTION THEY NEITHER

GATHERED TOGETHER ALL AS MANY AS THEY FOUND, BOTH BAD AND GOD IN HEAVEN. 31 BUT AS TOUCHING THE RESURRECTION OF THE
GOOD: AND THE WEDDING WAS FURNISHED WITH GUESTS. 11 AND DEAD, HAVE YE NOT READ THAT WHICH WAS SPOKEN UNTO YOU BY
WHEN THE KING CAME IN TO SEE THE GUESTS, HE SAW THERE A GOD, SAYING, 32 I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF
MAN WHICH HAD NOT ON A WEDDING GARMENT: 12 AND HE SAITH ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB? GOD IS NOT THE GOD OF THE DEAD,
UNTO HIM, FRIEND, HOW CAMEST THOU IN HITHER NOT HAVING A BUT OF THE LIVING. 33 AND WHEN THE MULTITUDE HEARD THIS,
WEDDING GARMENT? AND HE WAS SPEECHLESS. 13 THEN SAID THE THEY WERE ASTONISHED AT HIS DOCTRINE. 34 BUT WHEN THE
KING TO THE SERVANTS, BIND HIM HAND AND FOOT, AND TAKE HIM PHARISEES HAD HEARD THAT HE HAD PUT THE SADDUCEES TO

WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH. 14 FOR MANY ARE CALLED, BUT WHICH WAS A LAWYER, ASKED HIM A QUESTION, TEMPTING HIM,
FEW ARE CHOSEN. 15 THEN WENT THE PHARISEES, AND TOOK AND SAYING, 36 MASTER, WHICH IS THE GREAT COMMANDMENT IN
COUNSEL HOW THEY MIGHT ENTANGLE HIM IN HIS TALK. 16 AND THE LAW? 37 JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD
THEY SENT OUT UNTO HIM THEIR DISCIPLES WITH THE HERODIANS, THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH
SAYING, MASTER, WE KNOW THAT THOU ART TRUE, AND TEACHEST ALL THY MIND. 38 THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT.
THE WAY OF GOD IN TRUTH, NEITHER CAREST THOU FOR ANY MAN: 39 AND THE SECOND IS LIKE UNTO IT, THOU SHALT LOVE THY

THEREFORE, WHAT THINKEST THOU? IS IT LAWFUL TO GIVE TRIBUTE HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. 41 WHILE THE PHARISEES

DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM FOR TO SHEW HIM THE BUILDINGS OF THE THOSE DAYS SHOULD BE SHORTENED, THERE SHOULD NO FLESH BE

DESOLATION, SPOKEN OF BY DANIEL THE PROPHET, STAND IN THE 34 VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL

HIM WHICH IS ON THE HOUSETOP NOT COME DOWN TO TAKE ANY THAT DAY AND HOUR KNOWETH NO MAN, NO, NOT THE ANGELS OF

FIELD RETURN BACK TO TAKE HIS CLOTHES. 19 AND WOE UNTO SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. 38 FOR AS IN

DRINKING, MARRYING AND GIVING IN MARRIAGE, UNTIL THE DAY
THAT NOE ENTERED INTO THE ARK, 39 AND KNEW NOT UNTIL THE
FLOOD CAME, AND TOOK THEM ALL AWAY; SO SHALL ALSO THE
COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. 40 THEN SHALL TWO BE IN THE
FIELD; THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN, AND THE OTHER LEFT. 41 TWO
WOMEN SHALL BE GRINDING AT THE MILL; THE ONE SHALL BE
TAKEN, AND THE OTHER LEFT. 42 WATCH THEREFORE: FOR YE KNOW
NOT WHAT HOUR YOUR LORD DOTH COME. 43 BUT KNOW THIS,
THAT IF THE GOODMAN OF THE HOUSE HAD KNOWN IN WHAT
WATCH THE THIEF WOULD COME, HE WOULD HAVE WATCHED, AND
WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFERED HIS HOUSE TO BE BROKEN UP. 44
THEREFORE BE YE ALSO READY: FOR IN SUCH AN HOUR AS YE THINK
NOT THE SON OF MAN COMETH. 45 WHO THEN IS A FAITHFUL AND
WISE SERVANT, WHOM HIS LORD HATH MADE RULER OVER HIS
HOUSEHOLD, TO GIVE THEM MEAT IN DUE SEASON? 46 BLESSED IS
THAT SERVANT, WHOM HIS LORD WHEN HE COMETH SHALL FIND
SO DOING. 47 VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT HE SHALL MAKE HIM
RULER OVER ALL HIS GOODS. 48 BUT AND IF THAT EVIL SERVANT
SHALL SAY IN HIS HEART, MY LORD DELAYETH HIS COMING; 49 AND
SHALL BEGIN TO SMITE HIS FELLOWSERVANTS, AND TO EAT AND
DRINK WITH THE DRUNKEN; 50 THE LORD OF THAT SERVANT SHALL
COME IN A DAY WHEN HE LOOKETH NOT FOR HIM, AND IN AN HOUR
THAT HE IS NOT AWARE OF, 51 AND SHALL CUT HIM ASUNDER, AND
APPOINT HIM HIS PORTION WITH THE HYPOCRITES: THERE SHALL
BE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.

THOU INTO THE JOY OF THY LORD. 22 HE ALSO THAT HAD RECEIVED

VIRGINS, WHICH TOOK THEIR LAMPS, AND WENT FORTH TO MEET TWO TALENTS: BEHOLD, I HAVE GAINED TWO OTHER TALENTS
THE BRIDEGROOM. 2 AND FIVE OF THEM WERE WISE, AND FIVE BESIDE THEM. 23 HIS LORD SAID UNTO HIM, WELL DONE, GOOD AND
WERE FOOLISH. 3 THEY THAT WERE FOOLISH TOOK THEIR LAMPS, FAITHFUL SERVANT; THOU HAST BEEN FAITHFUL OVER A FEW
AND TOOK NO OIL WITH THEM: 4 BUT THE WISE TOOK OIL IN THEIR THINGS, I WILL MAKE THEE RULER OVER MANY THINGS: ENTER
VESSELS WITH THEIR LAMPS. 5 WHILE THE BRIDEGROOM TARRIED, THOU INTO THE JOY OF THY LORD. 24 THEN HE WHICH HAD
THEY ALL SLUMBERED AND SLEPT. 6 AND AT MIDNIGHT THERE WAS RECEIVED THE ONE TALENT CAME AND SAID, LORD, I KNEW THEE
A CRY MADE, BEHOLD, THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH; GO YE OUT TO THAT THOU ART AN HARD MAN, REAPING WHERE THOU HAST NOT
MEET HIM. 7 THEN ALL THOSE VIRGINS AROSE, AND TRIMMED THEIR SOWN, AND GATHERING WHERE THOU HAST NOT STRAWED: 25 AND
LAMPS. 8 AND THE FOOLISH SAID UNTO THE WISE, GIVE US OF YOUR I WAS AFRAID, AND WENT AND HID THY TALENT IN THE EARTH: LO,
OIL; FOR OUR LAMPS ARE GONE OUT. 9 BUT THE WISE ANSWERED, THERE THOU HAST THAT IS THINE. 26 HIS LORD ANSWERED AND
SAYING, NOT SO; LEST THERE BE NOT ENOUGH FOR US AND YOU: SAID UNTO HIM, THOU WICKED AND SLOTHFUL SERVANT, THOU
BUT GO YE RATHER TO THEM THAT SELL, AND BUY FOR YOURSELVES. KNEWEST THAT I REAP WHERE I SOWED NOT, AND GATHER WHERE
10 AND WHILE THEY WENT TO BUY, THE BRIDEGROOM CAME; AND I HAVE NOT STRAWED: 27 THOU OUGHTEST THEREFORE TO HAVE
THEY THAT WERE READY WENT IN WITH HIM TO THE MARRIAGE: PUT MY MONEY TO THE EXCHANGERS, AND THEN AT MY COMING I

VIRGINS, SAYING, LORD, LORD, OPEN TO US. 12 BUT HE ANSWERED THEREFORE THE TALENT FROM HIM, AND GIVE IT UNTO HIM WHICH

THEREFORE, FOR YE KNOW NEITHER THE DAY NOR THE HOUR GIVEN, AND HE SHALL HAVE ABUNDANCE: BUT FROM HIM THAT
WHEREIN THE SON OF MAN COMETH. 14 FOR THE KINGDOM OF HATH NOT SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY EVEN THAT WHICH HE HATH. 30
HEAVEN IS AS A MAN TRAVELLING INTO A FAR COUNTRY, WHO AND CAST YE THE UNPROFITABLE SERVANT INTO OUTER DARKNESS:
CALLED HIS OWN SERVANTS, AND DELIVERED UNTO THEM HIS THERE SHALL BE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH. 31 WHEN THE
GOODS. 15 AND UNTO ONE HE GAVE FIVE TALENTS, TO ANOTHER SON OF MAN SHALL COME IN HIS GLORY, AND ALL THE HOLY
TWO, AND TO ANOTHER ONE; TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS ANGELS WITH HIM, THEN SHALL HE SIT UPON THE THRONE OF HIS
SEVERAL ABILITY; AND STRAIGHTWAY TOOK HIS JOURNEY. 16 THEN GLORY: 32 AND BEFORE HIM SHALL BE GATHERED ALL NATIONS:
HE THAT HAD RECEIVED THE FIVE TALENTS WENT AND TRADED WITH AND HE SHALL SEPARATE THEM ONE FROM ANOTHER, AS A
THE SAME, AND MADE THEM OTHER FIVE TALENTS. 17 AND SHEPHERD DIVIDETH HIS SHEEP FROM THE GOATS: 33 AND HE
LIKEWISE HE THAT HAD RECEIVED TWO, HE ALSO GAINED OTHER SHALL SET THE SHEEP ON HIS RIGHT HAND, BUT THE GOATS ON THE
TWO. 18 BUT HE THAT HAD RECEIVED ONE WENT AND DIGGED IN LEFT. 34 THEN SHALL THE KING SAY UNTO THEM ON HIS RIGHT

THE LORD OF THOSE SERVANTS COMETH, AND RECKONETH WITH PREPARED FOR YOU FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD: 35 FOR
THEM. 20 AND SO HE THAT HAD RECEIVED FIVE TALENTS CAME AND I WAS AN HUNGRED, AND YE GAVE ME MEAT: I WAS THIRSTY, AND
BROUGHT OTHER FIVE TALENTS, SAYING, LORD, THOU DELIVEREDST YE GAVE ME DRINK: I WAS A STRANGER, AND YE TOOK ME IN: 36
UNTO ME FIVE TALENTS: BEHOLD, I HAVE GAINED BESIDE THEM FIVE NAKED, AND YE CLOTHED ME: I WAS SICK, AND YE VISITED ME: I

WHEN SAW WE THEE A STRANGER, AND TOOK THEE IN? OR NAKED,
AND CLOTHED THEE? 39 OR WHEN SAW WE THEE SICK, OR IN
PRISON, AND CAME UNTO THEE? 40 AND THE KING SHALL ANSWER
AND SAY UNTO THEM, VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, INASMUCH AS YE
HAVE DONE IT UNTO ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN,
YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME. 41 THEN SHALL HE SAY ALSO UNTO
THEM ON THE LEFT HAND, DEPART FROM ME, YE CURSED, INTO
EVERLASTING FIRE, PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS: 42
FOR I WAS AN HUNGRED, AND YE GAVE ME NO MEAT: I WAS THIRSTY,
AND YE GAVE ME NO DRINK: 43 I WAS A STRANGER, AND YE TOOK
ME NOT IN: NAKED, AND YE CLOTHED ME NOT: SICK, AND IN PRISON,
AND YE VISITED ME NOT. 44 THEN SHALL THEY ALSO ANSWER HIM,
SAYING, LORD, WHEN SAW WE THEE AN HUNGRED, OR ATHIRST, OR
A STRANGER, OR NAKED, OR SICK, OR IN PRISON, AND DID NOT
MINISTER UNTO THEE? 45 THEN SHALL HE ANSWER THEM, SAYING,
VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, INASMUCH AS YE DID IT NOT TO ONE OF
THE LEAST OF THESE, YE DID IT NOT TO ME. 46 AND THESE SHALL
GO AWAY INTO EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT: BUT THE RIGHTEOUS

EVEN WAS COME, HE SAT DOWN WITH THE TWELVE. 21 AND AS
CHAPTER 26 THEY DID EAT, HE SAID, VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT ONE OF YOU
SHALL BETRAY ME. 22 AND THEY WERE EXCEEDING SORROWFUL,
AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN JESUS HAD FINISHED ALL THESE AND BEGAN EVERY ONE OF THEM TO SAY UNTO HIM, LORD, IS IT I?
SAYINGS, HE SAID UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, 2 YE KNOW THAT AFTER 23 AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID, HE THAT DIPPETH HIS HAND WITH
TWO DAYS IS THE FEAST OF THE PASSOVER, AND THE SON OF MAN ME IN THE DISH, THE SAME SHALL BETRAY ME. 24 THE SON OF MAN
IS BETRAYED TO BE CRUCIFIED. 3 THEN ASSEMBLED TOGETHER THE GOETH AS IT IS WRITTEN OF HIM: BUT WOE UNTO THAT MAN BY
CHIEF PRIESTS, AND THE SCRIBES, AND THE ELDERS OF THE PEOPLE, WHOM THE SON OF MAN IS BETRAYED! IT HAD BEEN GOOD FOR THAT
UNTO THE PALACE OF THE HIGH PRIEST, WHO WAS CALLED MAN IF HE HAD NOT BEEN BORN. 25 THEN JUDAS, WHICH BETRAYED
CAIAPHAS, 4 AND CONSULTED THAT THEY MIGHT TAKE JESUS BY HIM, ANSWERED AND SAID, MASTER, IS IT I? HE SAID UNTO HIM,
SUBTILTY, AND KILL HIM. 5 BUT THEY SAID, NOT ON THE FEAST DAY, THOU HAST SAID. 26 AND AS THEY WERE EATING, JESUS TOOK BREAD,
LEST THERE BE AN UPROAR AMONG THE PEOPLE. 6 NOW WHEN AND BLESSED IT, AND BRAKE IT, AND GAVE IT TO THE DISCIPLES,
JESUS WAS IN BETHANY, IN THE HOUSE OF SIMON THE LEPER, 7 AND SAID, TAKE, EAT; THIS IS MY BODY. 27 AND HE TOOK THE CUP,
THERE CAME UNTO HIM A WOMAN HAVING AN ALABASTER BOX OF AND GAVE THANKS, AND GAVE IT TO THEM, SAYING, DRINK YE ALL
VERY PRECIOUS OINTMENT, AND POURED IT ON HIS HEAD, AS HE OF IT; 28 FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, WHICH
SAT AT MEAT. 8 BUT WHEN HIS DISCIPLES SAW IT, THEY HAD IS SHED FOR MANY FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS. 29 BUT I SAY UNTO
INDIGNATION, SAYING, TO WHAT PURPOSE IS THIS WASTE? 9 FOR YOU, I WILL NOT DRINK HENCEFORTH OF THIS FRUIT OF THE VINE,
THIS OINTMENT MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOLD FOR MUCH, AND GIVEN TO UNTIL THAT DAY WHEN I DRINK IT NEW WITH YOU IN MY FATHER’S
THE POOR. 10 WHEN JESUS UNDERSTOOD IT, HE SAID UNTO THEM, KINGDOM. 30 AND WHEN THEY HAD SUNG AN HYMN, THEY WENT
WHY TROUBLE YE THE WOMAN? FOR SHE HATH WROUGHT A GOOD OUT INTO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES. 31 THEN SAITH JESUS UNTO THEM,
WORK UPON ME. 11 FOR YE HAVE THE POOR ALWAYS WITH YOU; ALL YE SHALL BE OFFENDED BECAUSE OF ME THIS NIGHT: FOR IT IS
BUT ME YE HAVE NOT ALWAYS. 12 FOR IN THAT SHE HATH POURED WRITTEN, I WILL SMITE THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE
THIS OINTMENT ON MY BODY, SHE DID IT FOR MY BURIAL. 13 VERILY FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED ABROAD. 32 BUT AFTER I AM RISEN
I SAY UNTO YOU, WHERESOEVER THIS GOSPEL SHALL BE PREACHED AGAIN, I WILL GO BEFORE YOU INTO GALILEE. 33 PETER ANSWERED
IN THE WHOLE WORLD, THERE SHALL ALSO THIS, THAT THIS AND SAID UNTO HIM, THOUGH ALL MEN SHALL BE OFFENDED
WOMAN HATH DONE, BE TOLD FOR A MEMORIAL OF HER. 14 THEN BECAUSE OF THEE, YET WILL I NEVER BE OFFENDED. 34 JESUS SAID
ONE OF THE TWELVE, CALLED JUDAS ISCARIOT, WENT UNTO THE UNTO HIM, VERILY I SAY UNTO THEE, THAT THIS NIGHT, BEFORE THE
CHIEF PRIESTS, 15 AND SAID UNTO THEM, WHAT WILL YE GIVE ME, COCK CROW, THOU SHALT DENY ME THRICE. 35 PETER SAID UNTO
AND I WILL DELIVER HIM UNTO YOU? AND THEY COVENANTED WITH HIM, THOUGH I SHOULD DIE WITH THEE, YET WILL I NOT DENY THEE.
HIM FOR THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER. 16 AND FROM THAT TIME HE LIKEWISE ALSO SAID ALL THE DISCIPLES. 36 THEN COMETH JESUS
SOUGHT OPPORTUNITY TO BETRAY HIM. 17 NOW THE FIRST DAY OF WITH THEM UNTO A PLACE CALLED GETHSEMANE, AND SAITH UNTO
THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD THE DISCIPLES CAME TO JESUS, THE DISCIPLES, SIT YE HERE, WHILE I GO AND PRAY YONDER. 37 AND
SAYING UNTO HIM, WHERE WILT THOU THAT WE PREPARE FOR THEE HE TOOK WITH HIM PETER AND THE TWO SONS OF ZEBEDEE, AND
TO EAT THE PASSOVER? 18 AND HE SAID, GO INTO THE CITY TO SUCH BEGAN TO BE SORROWFUL AND VERY HEAVY. 38 THEN SAITH HE
A MAN, AND SAY UNTO HIM, THE MASTER SAITH, MY TIME IS AT UNTO THEM, MY SOUL IS EXCEEDING SORROWFUL, EVEN UNTO
HAND; I WILL KEEP THE PASSOVER AT THY HOUSE WITH MY DEATH: TARRY YE HERE, AND WATCH WITH ME. 39 AND HE WENT A
DISCIPLES. 19 AND THE DISCIPLES DID AS JESUS HAD APPOINTED LITTLE FURTHER, AND FELL ON HIS FACE, AND PRAYED, SAYING, O
THEM; AND THEY MADE READY THE PASSOVER. 20 NOW WHEN THE MY FATHER, IF IT BE POSSIBLE, LET THIS CUP PASS FROM ME:

1234

NEVERTHELESS NOT AS I WILL, BUT AS THOU WILT. 40 AND HE CAIAPHAS THE HIGH PRIEST, WHERE THE SCRIBES AND THE ELDERS
COMETH UNTO THE DISCIPLES, AND FINDETH THEM ASLEEP, AND WERE ASSEMBLED. 58 BUT PETER FOLLOWED HIM AFAR OFF UNTO
SAITH UNTO PETER, WHAT, COULD YE NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE THE HIGH PRIEST’S PALACE, AND WENT IN, AND SAT WITH THE
HOUR? 41 WATCH AND PRAY, THAT YE ENTER NOT INTO SERVANTS, TO SEE THE END. 59 NOW THE CHIEF PRIESTS, AND
TEMPTATION: THE SPIRIT INDEED IS WILLING, BUT THE FLESH IS ELDERS, AND ALL THE COUNCIL, SOUGHT FALSE WITNESS AGAINST
WEAK. 42 HE WENT AWAY AGAIN THE SECOND TIME, AND PRAYED, JESUS, TO PUT HIM TO DEATH; 60 BUT FOUND NONE: YEA, THOUGH
SAYING, O MY FATHER, IF THIS CUP MAY NOT PASS AWAY FROM ME, MANY FALSE WITNESSES CAME, YET FOUND THEY NONE. AT THE
EXCEPT I DRINK IT, THY WILL BE DONE. 43 AND HE CAME AND LAST CAME TWO FALSE WITNESSES, 61 AND SAID, THIS FELLOW SAID,
FOUND THEM ASLEEP AGAIN: FOR THEIR EYES WERE HEAVY. 44 AND I AM ABLE TO DESTROY THE TEMPLE OF GOD, AND TO BUILD IT IN
HE LEFT THEM, AND WENT AWAY AGAIN, AND PRAYED THE THIRD THREE DAYS. 62 AND THE HIGH PRIEST AROSE, AND SAID UNTO HIM,
TIME, SAYING THE SAME WORDS. 45 THEN COMETH HE TO HIS ANSWEREST THOU NOTHING? WHAT IS IT WHICH THESE WITNESS
DISCIPLES, AND SAITH UNTO THEM, SLEEP ON NOW, AND TAKE AGAINST THEE? 63 BUT JESUS HELD HIS PEACE. AND THE HIGH
YOUR REST: BEHOLD, THE HOUR IS AT HAND, AND THE SON OF MAN PRIEST ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, I ADJURE THEE BY THE
IS BETRAYED INTO THE HANDS OF SINNERS. 46 RISE, LET US BE LIVING GOD, THAT THOU TELL US WHETHER THOU BE THE CHRIST,
GOING: BEHOLD, HE IS AT HAND THAT DOTH BETRAY ME. 47 AND THE SON OF GOD. 64 JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, THOU HAST SAID:
WHILE HE YET SPAKE, LO, JUDAS, ONE OF THE TWELVE, CAME, AND NEVERTHELESS I SAY UNTO YOU, HEREAFTER SHALL YE SEE THE SON
WITH HIM A GREAT MULTITUDE WITH SWORDS AND STAVES, FROM OF MAN SITTING ON THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, AND COMING IN
THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND ELDERS OF THE PEOPLE. 48 NOW HE THAT THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN. 65 THEN THE HIGH PRIEST RENT HIS
BETRAYED HIM GAVE THEM A SIGN, SAYING, WHOMSOEVER I SHALL CLOTHES, SAYING, HE HATH SPOKEN BLASPHEMY; WHAT FURTHER
KISS, THAT SAME IS HE: HOLD HIM FAST. 49 AND FORTHWITH HE NEED HAVE WE OF WITNESSES? BEHOLD, NOW YE HAVE HEARD HIS
CAME TO JESUS, AND SAID, HAIL, MASTER; AND KISSED HIM. 50 AND BLASPHEMY. 66 WHAT THINK YE? THEY ANSWERED AND SAID, HE IS
JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, FRIEND, WHEREFORE ART THOU COME? GUILTY OF DEATH. 67 THEN DID THEY SPIT IN HIS FACE, AND

EARTHQUAKE: FOR THE ANGEL OF THE LORD DESCENDED FROM

HIS RAIMENT WHITE AS SNOW: 4 AND FOR FEAR OF HIM THE
KEEPERS DID SHAKE, AND BECAME AS DEAD MEN. 5 AND THE ANGEL
ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THE WOMEN, FEAR NOT YE: FOR I KNOW
THAT YE SEEK JESUS, WHICH WAS CRUCIFIED. 6 HE IS NOT HERE:
FOR HE IS RISEN, AS HE SAID. COME, SEE THE PLACE WHERE THE
LORD LAY. 7 AND GO QUICKLY, AND TELL HIS DISCIPLES THAT HE IS
RISEN FROM THE DEAD; AND, BEHOLD, HE GOETH BEFORE YOU INTO
GALILEE; THERE SHALL YE SEE HIM: LO, I HAVE TOLD YOU. 8 AND
THEY DEPARTED QUICKLY FROM THE SEPULCHRE WITH FEAR AND
GREAT JOY; AND DID RUN TO BRING HIS DISCIPLES WORD. 9 AND AS
THEY WENT TO TELL HIS DISCIPLES, BEHOLD, JESUS MET THEM,
SAYING, ALL HAIL. AND THEY CAME AND HELD HIM BY THE FEET,
AND WORSHIPPED HIM. 10 THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THEM, BE NOT
AFRAID: GO TELL MY BRETHREN THAT THEY GO INTO GALILEE, AND
THERE SHALL THEY SEE ME. 11 NOW WHEN THEY WERE GOING,
BEHOLD, SOME OF THE WATCH CAME INTO THE CITY, AND SHEWED
UNTO THE CHIEF PRIESTS ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE DONE. 12
AND WHEN THEY WERE ASSEMBLED WITH THE ELDERS, AND HAD
TAKEN COUNSEL, THEY GAVE LARGE MONEY UNTO THE SOLDIERS,

AWAY WHILE WE SLEPT. 14 AND IF THIS COME TO THE GOVERNOR’S
EARS, WE WILL PERSUADE HIM, AND SECURE YOU. 15 SO THEY TOOK
THE MONEY, AND DID AS THEY WERE TAUGHT: AND THIS SAYING IS
COMMONLY REPORTED AMONG THE JEWS UNTIL THIS DAY. 16 THEN
THE ELEVEN DISCIPLES WENT AWAY INTO GALILEE, INTO A
MOUNTAIN WHERE JESUS HAD APPOINTED THEM. 17 AND WHEN

UNTO THE UNTHANKFUL AND TO THE EVIL. 36 BE YE THEREFORE
MERCIFUL, AS YOUR FATHER ALSO IS MERCIFUL. 37 JUDGE NOT, AND
YE SHALL NOT BE JUDGED: CONDEMN NOT, AND YE SHALL NOT BE
CONDEMNED: FORGIVE, AND YE SHALL BE FORGIVEN: 38 GIVE, AND
IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU; GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN,
AND SHAKEN TOGETHER, AND RUNNING OVER, SHALL MEN GIVE
INTO YOUR BOSOM. FOR WITH THE SAME MEASURE THAT YE METE
WITHAL IT SHALL BE MEASURED TO YOU AGAIN. 39 AND HE SPAKE
A PARABLE UNTO THEM, CAN THE BLIND LEAD THE BLIND? SHALL
THEY NOT BOTH FALL INTO THE DITCH? 40 THE DISCIPLE IS NOT
ABOVE HIS MASTER: BUT EVERY ONE THAT IS PERFECT SHALL BE AS
HIS MASTER. 41 AND WHY BEHOLDEST THOU THE MOTE THAT IS IN
THY BROTHER’S EYE, BUT PERCEIVEST NOT THE BEAM THAT IS IN
THINE OWN EYE? 42 EITHER HOW CANST THOU SAY TO THY
BROTHER, BROTHER, LET ME PULL OUT THE MOTE THAT IS IN THINE
EYE, WHEN THOU THYSELF BEHOLDEST NOT THE BEAM THAT IS IN
THINE OWN EYE? THOU HYPOCRITE, CAST OUT FIRST THE BEAM OUT
OF THINE OWN EYE, AND THEN SHALT THOU SEE CLEARLY TO PULL
OUT THE MOTE THAT IS IN THY BROTHER’S EYE. 43 FOR A GOOD TREE
BRINGETH NOT FORTH CORRUPT FRUIT; NEITHER DOTH A CORRUPT
TREE BRING FORTH GOOD FRUIT. 44 FOR EVERY TREE IS KNOWN BY
HIS OWN FRUIT. FOR OF THORNS MEN DO NOT GATHER FIGS, NOR
OF A BRAMBLE BUSH GATHER THEY GRAPES. 45 A GOOD MAN OUT
OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT
WHICH IS GOOD; AND AN EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE OF
HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT WHICH IS EVIL: FOR OF THE
ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKETH. 46 AND WHY
CALL YE ME, LORD, LORD, AND DO NOT THE THINGS WHICH I SAY?
47 WHOSOEVER COMETH TO ME, AND HEARETH MY SAYINGS, AND
DOETH THEM, I WILL SHEW YOU TO WHOM HE IS LIKE: 48 HE IS LIKE
A MAN WHICH BUILT AN HOUSE, AND DIGGED DEEP, AND LAID THE
FOUNDATION ON A ROCK: AND WHEN THE FLOOD AROSE, THE
STREAM BEAT VEHEMENTLY UPON THAT HOUSE, AND COULD NOT
SHAKE IT: FOR IT WAS FOUNDED UPON A ROCK. 49 BUT HE THAT
HEARETH, AND DOETH NOT, IS LIKE A MAN THAT WITHOUT A
FOUNDATION BUILT AN HOUSE UPON THE EARTH; AGAINST WHICH

1282
 LUKE
RISEN UP AMONG US; AND, THAT GOD HATH VISITED HIS PEOPLE. 17
CHAPTER 7 AND THIS RUMOUR OF HIM WENT FORTH THROUGHOUT ALL JUDÆA,
AND THROUGHOUT ALL THE REGION ROUND ABOUT. 18 AND THE
NOW WHEN HE HAD ENDED ALL HIS SAYINGS IN THE AUDIENCE OF DISCIPLES OF JOHN SHEWED HIM OF ALL THESE THINGS. 19 AND
THE PEOPLE, HE ENTERED INTO CAPERNAUM. 2 AND A CERTAIN JOHN CALLING UNTO HIM TWO OF HIS DISCIPLES SENT THEM TO
CENTURION’S SERVANT, WHO WAS DEAR UNTO HIM, WAS SICK, AND JESUS, SAYING, ART THOU HE THAT SHOULD COME? OR LOOK WE
READY TO DIE. 3 AND WHEN HE HEARD OF JESUS, HE SENT UNTO FOR ANOTHER? 20 WHEN THE MEN WERE COME UNTO HIM, THEY
HIM THE ELDERS OF THE JEWS, BESEECHING HIM THAT HE WOULD SAID, JOHN BAPTIST HATH SENT US UNTO THEE, SAYING, ART THOU
COME AND HEAL HIS SERVANT. 4 AND WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS, HE THAT SHOULD COME? OR LOOK WE FOR ANOTHER? 21 AND IN
THEY BESOUGHT HIM INSTANTLY, SAYING, THAT HE WAS WORTHY THAT SAME HOUR HE CURED MANY OF THEIR INFIRMITIES AND
FOR WHOM HE SHOULD DO THIS: 5 FOR HE LOVETH OUR NATION, PLAGUES, AND OF EVIL SPIRITS; AND UNTO MANY THAT WERE BLIND
AND HE HATH BUILT US A SYNAGOGUE. 6 THEN JESUS WENT WITH HE GAVE SIGHT. 22 THEN JESUS ANSWERING SAID UNTO THEM, GO
THEM. AND WHEN HE WAS NOW NOT FAR FROM THE HOUSE, THE YOUR WAY, AND TELL JOHN WHAT THINGS YE HAVE SEEN AND
CENTURION SENT FRIENDS TO HIM, SAYING UNTO HIM, LORD, HEARD; HOW THAT THE BLIND SEE, THE LAME WALK, THE LEPERS
TROUBLE NOT THYSELF: FOR I AM NOT WORTHY THAT THOU ARE CLEANSED, THE DEAF HEAR, THE DEAD ARE RAISED, TO THE
SHOULDEST ENTER UNDER MY ROOF: 7 WHEREFORE NEITHER POOR THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED. 23 AND BLESSED IS HE,
THOUGHT I MYSELF WORTHY TO COME UNTO THEE: BUT SAY IN A WHOSOEVER SHALL NOT BE OFFENDED IN ME. 24 AND WHEN THE
WORD, AND MY SERVANT SHALL BE HEALED. 8 FOR I ALSO AM A MESSENGERS OF JOHN WERE DEPARTED, HE BEGAN TO SPEAK UNTO
MAN SET UNDER AUTHORITY, HAVING UNDER ME SOLDIERS, AND I THE PEOPLE CONCERNING JOHN, WHAT WENT YE OUT INTO THE
SAY UNTO ONE, GO, AND HE GOETH; AND TO ANOTHER, COME, AND WILDERNESS FOR TO SEE? A REED SHAKEN WITH THE WIND? 25 BUT
HE COMETH; AND TO MY SERVANT, DO THIS, AND HE DOETH IT. 9 WHAT WENT YE OUT FOR TO SEE? A MAN CLOTHED IN SOFT RAIMENT?
WHEN JESUS HEARD THESE THINGS, HE MARVELLED AT HIM, AND BEHOLD, THEY WHICH ARE GORGEOUSLY APPARELLED, AND LIVE
TURNED HIM ABOUT, AND SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE THAT FOLLOWED DELICATELY, ARE IN KINGS’ COURTS. 26 BUT WHAT WENT YE OUT
HIM, I SAY UNTO YOU, I HAVE NOT FOUND SO GREAT FAITH, NO, NOT FOR TO SEE? A PROPHET? YEA, I SAY UNTO YOU, AND MUCH MORE
IN ISRAEL. 10 AND THEY THAT WERE SENT, RETURNING TO THE THAN A PROPHET. 27 THIS IS HE, OF WHOM IT IS WRITTEN, BEHOLD,
HOUSE, FOUND THE SERVANT WHOLE THAT HAD BEEN SICK. 11 AND I SEND MY MESSENGER BEFORE THY FACE, WHICH SHALL PREPARE
IT CAME TO PASS THE DAY AFTER, THAT HE WENT INTO A CITY THY WAY BEFORE THEE. 28 FOR I SAY UNTO YOU, AMONG THOSE
CALLED NAIN; AND MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES WENT WITH HIM, AND THAT ARE BORN OF WOMEN THERE IS NOT A GREATER PROPHET
MUCH PEOPLE. 12 NOW WHEN HE CAME NIGH TO THE GATE OF THE THAN JOHN THE BAPTIST: BUT HE THAT IS LEAST IN THE KINGDOM
CITY, BEHOLD, THERE WAS A DEAD MAN CARRIED OUT, THE ONLY OF GOD IS GREATER THAN HE. 29 AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HEARD
SON OF HIS MOTHER, AND SHE WAS A WIDOW: AND MUCH PEOPLE HIM, AND THE PUBLICANS, JUSTIFIED GOD, BEING BAPTIZED WITH
OF THE CITY WAS WITH HER. 13 AND WHEN THE LORD SAW HER, HE THE BAPTISM OF JOHN. 30 BUT THE PHARISEES AND LAWYERS
HAD COMPASSION ON HER, AND SAID UNTO HER, WEEP NOT. 14 AND REJECTED THE COUNSEL OF GOD AGAINST THEMSELVES, BEING NOT
HE CAME AND TOUCHED THE BIER: AND THEY THAT BARE HIM BAPTIZED OF HIM. 31 AND THE LORD SAID, WHEREUNTO THEN
STOOD STILL. AND HE SAID, YOUNG MAN, I SAY UNTO THEE, ARISE. SHALL I LIKEN THE MEN OF THIS GENERATION? AND TO WHAT ARE
15 AND HE THAT WAS DEAD SAT UP, AND BEGAN TO SPEAK. AND HE THEY LIKE? 32 THEY ARE LIKE UNTO CHILDREN SITTING IN THE
DELIVERED HIM TO HIS MOTHER. 16 AND THERE CAME A FEAR ON MARKETPLACE, AND CALLING ONE TO ANOTHER, AND SAYING, WE
ALL: AND THEY GLORIFIED GOD, SAYING, THAT A GREAT PROPHET IS HAVE PIPED UNTO YOU, AND YE HAVE NOT DANCED; WE HAVE

1283
 LUKE
MOURNED TO YOU, AND YE HAVE NOT WEPT. 33 FOR JOHN THE THIS THAT FORGIVETH SINS ALSO? 50 AND HE SAID TO THE WOMAN,
BAPTIST CAME NEITHER EATING BREAD NOR DRINKING WINE; AND THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE; GO IN PEACE.
YE SAY, HE HATH A DEVIL. 34 THE SON OF MAN IS COME EATING
AND DRINKING; AND YE SAY, BEHOLD A GLUTTONOUS MAN, AND A
WINEBIBBER, A FRIEND OF PUBLICANS AND SINNERS! 35 BUT
WISDOM IS JUSTIFIED OF ALL HER CHILDREN. 36 AND ONE OF THE
PHARISEES DESIRED HIM THAT HE WOULD EAT WITH HIM. AND HE
WENT INTO THE PHARISEE’S HOUSE, AND SAT DOWN TO MEAT. 37
AND, BEHOLD, A WOMAN IN THE CITY, WHICH WAS A SINNER,
WHEN SHE KNEW THAT JESUS SAT AT MEAT IN THE PHARISEE’S
HOUSE, BROUGHT AN ALABASTER BOX OF OINTMENT, 38 AND STOOD
AT HIS FEET BEHIND HIM WEEPING, AND BEGAN TO WASH HIS FEET
WITH TEARS, AND DID WIPE THEM WITH THE HAIRS OF HER HEAD,
AND KISSED HIS FEET, AND ANOINTED THEM WITH THE OINTMENT.
39 NOW WHEN THE PHARISEE WHICH HAD BIDDEN HIM SAW IT, HE
SPAKE WITHIN HIMSELF, SAYING, THIS MAN, IF HE WERE A PROPHET,
WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHO AND WHAT MANNER OF WOMAN THIS
IS THAT TOUCHETH HIM: FOR SHE IS A SINNER. 40 AND JESUS
ANSWERING SAID UNTO HIM, SIMON, I HAVE SOMEWHAT TO SAY
UNTO THEE. AND HE SAITH, MASTER, SAY ON. 41 THERE WAS A
CERTAIN CREDITOR WHICH HAD TWO DEBTORS: THE ONE OWED FIVE
HUNDRED PENCE, AND THE OTHER FIFTY. 42 AND WHEN THEY HAD
NOTHING TO PAY, HE FRANKLY FORGAVE THEM BOTH. TELL ME
THEREFORE, WHICH OF THEM WILL LOVE HIM MOST? 43 SIMON
ANSWERED AND SAID, I SUPPOSE THAT HE, TO WHOM HE FORGAVE
MOST. AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, THOU HAST RIGHTLY JUDGED. 44
AND HE TURNED TO THE WOMAN, AND SAID UNTO SIMON, SEEST
THOU THIS WOMAN? I ENTERED INTO THINE HOUSE, THOU GAVEST
ME NO WATER FOR MY FEET: BUT SHE HATH WASHED MY FEET WITH
TEARS, AND WIPED THEM WITH THE HAIRS OF HER HEAD. 45 THOU
GAVEST ME NO KISS: BUT THIS WOMAN SINCE THE TIME I CAME IN
HATH NOT CEASED TO KISS MY FEET. 46 MY HEAD WITH OIL THOU
DIDST NOT ANOINT: BUT THIS WOMAN HATH ANOINTED MY FEET
WITH OINTMENT. 47 WHEREFORE I SAY UNTO THEE, HER SINS,
WHICH ARE MANY, ARE FORGIVEN; FOR SHE LOVED MUCH: BUT TO
WHOM LITTLE IS FORGIVEN, THE SAME LOVETH LITTLE. 48 AND HE
SAID UNTO HER, THY SINS ARE FORGIVEN. 49 AND THEY THAT SAT
AT MEAT WITH HIM BEGAN TO SAY WITHIN THEMSELVES, WHO IS

1284
 LUKE
FRUIT WITH PATIENCE. 16 NO MAN, WHEN HE HATH LIGHTED A
CHAPTER 8 CANDLE, COVERETH IT WITH A VESSEL, OR PUTTETH IT UNDER A BED;
BUT SETTETH IT ON A CANDLESTICK, THAT THEY WHICH ENTER IN
AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTERWARD, THAT HE WENT THROUGHOUT MAY SEE THE LIGHT. 17 FOR NOTHING IS SECRET, THAT SHALL NOT
EVERY CITY AND VILLAGE, PREACHING AND SHEWING THE GLAD BE MADE MANIFEST; NEITHER ANY THING HID, THAT SHALL NOT BE
TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: AND THE TWELVE WERE WITH KNOWN AND COME ABROAD. 18 TAKE HEED THEREFORE HOW YE
HIM, 2 AND CERTAIN WOMEN, WHICH HAD BEEN HEALED OF EVIL HEAR: FOR WHOSOEVER HATH, TO HIM SHALL BE GIVEN; AND
SPIRITS AND INFIRMITIES, MARY CALLED MAGDALENE, OUT OF WHOSOEVER HATH NOT, FROM HIM SHALL BE TAKEN EVEN THAT
WHOM WENT SEVEN DEVILS, 3 AND JOANNA THE WIFE OF CHUZA WHICH HE SEEMETH TO HAVE. 19 THEN CAME TO HIM HIS MOTHER
HEROD’S STEWARD, AND SUSANNA, AND MANY OTHERS, WHICH AND HIS BRETHREN, AND COULD NOT COME AT HIM FOR THE PRESS.
MINISTERED UNTO HIM OF THEIR SUBSTANCE. 4 AND WHEN MUCH 20 AND IT WAS TOLD HIM BY CERTAIN WHICH SAID, THY MOTHER
PEOPLE WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, AND WERE COME TO HIM OUT AND THY BRETHREN STAND WITHOUT, DESIRING TO SEE THEE. 21
OF EVERY CITY, HE SPAKE BY A PARABLE: 5 A SOWER WENT OUT TO AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, MY MOTHER AND MY
SOW HIS SEED: AND AS HE SOWED, SOME FELL BY THE WAY SIDE; BRETHREN ARE THESE WHICH HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, AND DO IT.
AND IT WAS TRODDEN DOWN, AND THE FOWLS OF THE AIR 22 NOW IT CAME TO PASS ON A CERTAIN DAY, THAT HE WENT INTO
DEVOURED IT. 6 AND SOME FELL UPON A ROCK; AND AS SOON AS IT A SHIP WITH HIS DISCIPLES: AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, LET US GO
WAS SPRUNG UP, IT WITHERED AWAY, BECAUSE IT LACKED OVER UNTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE. AND THEY LAUNCHED
MOISTURE. 7 AND SOME FELL AMONG THORNS; AND THE THORNS FORTH. 23 BUT AS THEY SAILED HE FELL ASLEEP: AND THERE CAME
SPRANG UP WITH IT, AND CHOKED IT. 8 AND OTHER FELL ON GOOD DOWN A STORM OF WIND ON THE LAKE; AND THEY WERE FILLED
GROUND, AND SPRANG UP, AND BARE FRUIT AN HUNDREDFOLD. WITH WATER, AND WERE IN JEOPARDY. 24 AND THEY CAME TO HIM,
AND WHEN HE HAD SAID THESE THINGS, HE CRIED, HE THAT HATH AND AWOKE HIM, SAYING, MASTER, MASTER, WE PERISH. THEN HE
EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR. 9 AND HIS DISCIPLES ASKED HIM, AROSE, AND REBUKED THE WIND AND THE RAGING OF THE WATER:
SAYING, WHAT MIGHT THIS PARABLE BE? 10 AND HE SAID, UNTO AND THEY CEASED, AND THERE WAS A CALM. 25 AND HE SAID UNTO
YOU IT IS GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: THEM, WHERE IS YOUR FAITH? AND THEY BEING AFRAID WONDERED,
BUT TO OTHERS IN PARABLES; THAT SEEING THEY MIGHT NOT SEE, SAYING ONE TO ANOTHER, WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS THIS! FOR HE
AND HEARING THEY MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND. 11 NOW THE COMMANDETH EVEN THE WINDS AND WATER, AND THEY OBEY HIM.
PARABLE IS THIS: THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD. 12 THOSE BY THE 26 AND THEY ARRIVED AT THE COUNTRY OF THE GADARENES,
WAY SIDE ARE THEY THAT HEAR; THEN COMETH THE DEVIL, AND WHICH IS OVER AGAINST GALILEE. 27 AND WHEN HE WENT FORTH
TAKETH AWAY THE WORD OUT OF THEIR HEARTS, LEST THEY TO LAND, THERE MET HIM OUT OF THE CITY A CERTAIN MAN, WHICH
SHOULD BELIEVE AND BE SAVED. 13 THEY ON THE ROCK ARE THEY, HAD DEVILS LONG TIME, AND WARE NO CLOTHES, NEITHER ABODE
WHICH, WHEN THEY HEAR, RECEIVE THE WORD WITH JOY; AND IN ANY HOUSE, BUT IN THE TOMBS. 28 WHEN HE SAW JESUS, HE
THESE HAVE NO ROOT, WHICH FOR A WHILE BELIEVE, AND IN TIME CRIED OUT, AND FELL DOWN BEFORE HIM, AND WITH A LOUD VOICE
OF TEMPTATION FALL AWAY. 14 AND THAT WHICH FELL AMONG SAID, WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH THEE, JESUS, THOU SON OF GOD
THORNS ARE THEY, WHICH, WHEN THEY HAVE HEARD, GO FORTH, MOST HIGH? I BESEECH THEE, TORMENT ME NOT. 29 (FOR HE HAD
AND ARE CHOKED WITH CARES AND RICHES AND PLEASURES OF COMMANDED THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT TO COME OUT OF THE MAN. FOR
THIS LIFE, AND BRING NO FRUIT TO PERFECTION. 15 BUT THAT ON OFTENTIMES IT HAD CAUGHT HIM: AND HE WAS KEPT BOUND WITH
THE GOOD GROUND ARE THEY, WHICH IN AN HONEST AND GOOD CHAINS AND IN FETTERS; AND HE BRAKE THE BANDS, AND WAS
HEART, HAVING HEARD THE WORD, KEEP IT, AND BRING FORTH DRIVEN OF THE DEVIL INTO THE WILDERNESS.) 30 AND JESUS ASKED

1285
 LUKE
HIM, SAYING, WHAT IS THY NAME? AND HE SAID, LEGION: BECAUSE WERE WITH HIM SAID, MASTER, THE MULTITUDE THRONG THEE AND
MANY DEVILS WERE ENTERED INTO HIM. 31 AND THEY BESOUGHT PRESS THEE, AND SAYEST THOU, WHO TOUCHED ME? 46 AND JESUS
HIM THAT HE WOULD NOT COMMAND THEM TO GO OUT INTO THE SAID, SOMEBODY HATH TOUCHED ME: FOR I PERCEIVE THAT VIRTUE
DEEP. 32 AND THERE WAS THERE AN HERD OF MANY SWINE IS GONE OUT OF ME. 47 AND WHEN THE WOMAN SAW THAT SHE
FEEDING ON THE MOUNTAIN: AND THEY BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE WAS NOT HID, SHE CAME TREMBLING, AND FALLING DOWN BEFORE
WOULD SUFFER THEM TO ENTER INTO THEM. AND HE SUFFERED HIM, SHE DECLARED UNTO HIM BEFORE ALL THE PEOPLE FOR WHAT
THEM. 33 THEN WENT THE DEVILS OUT OF THE MAN, AND ENTERED CAUSE SHE HAD TOUCHED HIM, AND HOW SHE WAS HEALED
INTO THE SWINE: AND THE HERD RAN VIOLENTLY DOWN A STEEP IMMEDIATELY. 48 AND HE SAID UNTO HER, DAUGHTER, BE OF GOOD
PLACE INTO THE LAKE, AND WERE CHOKED. 34 WHEN THEY THAT COMFORT: THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE; GO IN PEACE. 49
FED THEM SAW WHAT WAS DONE, THEY FLED, AND WENT AND TOLD WHILE HE YET SPAKE, THERE COMETH ONE FROM THE RULER OF
IT IN THE CITY AND IN THE COUNTRY. 35 THEN THEY WENT OUT TO THE SYNAGOGUE’S HOUSE, SAYING TO HIM, THY DAUGHTER IS DEAD;
SEE WHAT WAS DONE; AND CAME TO JESUS, AND FOUND THE MAN, TROUBLE NOT THE MASTER. 50 BUT WHEN JESUS HEARD IT, HE
OUT OF WHOM THE DEVILS WERE DEPARTED, SITTING AT THE FEET ANSWERED HIM, SAYING, FEAR NOT: BELIEVE ONLY, AND SHE SHALL
OF JESUS, CLOTHED, AND IN HIS RIGHT MIND: AND THEY WERE BE MADE WHOLE. 51 AND WHEN HE CAME INTO THE HOUSE, HE
AFRAID. 36 THEY ALSO WHICH SAW IT TOLD THEM BY WHAT MEANS SUFFERED NO MAN TO GO IN, SAVE PETER, AND JAMES, AND JOHN,
HE THAT WAS POSSESSED OF THE DEVILS WAS HEALED. 37 THEN THE AND THE FATHER AND THE MOTHER OF THE MAIDEN. 52 AND ALL
WHOLE MULTITUDE OF THE COUNTRY OF THE GADARENES ROUND WEPT, AND BEWAILED HER: BUT HE SAID, WEEP NOT; SHE IS NOT
ABOUT BESOUGHT HIM TO DEPART FROM THEM; FOR THEY WERE DEAD, BUT SLEEPETH. 53 AND THEY LAUGHED HIM TO SCORN,
TAKEN WITH GREAT FEAR: AND HE WENT UP INTO THE SHIP, AND KNOWING THAT SHE WAS DEAD. 54 AND HE PUT THEM ALL OUT,
RETURNED BACK AGAIN. 38 NOW THE MAN OUT OF WHOM THE AND TOOK HER BY THE HAND, AND CALLED, SAYING, MAID, ARISE.
DEVILS WERE DEPARTED BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE MIGHT BE WITH 55 AND HER SPIRIT CAME AGAIN, AND SHE AROSE STRAIGHTWAY:
HIM: BUT JESUS SENT HIM AWAY, SAYING, 39 RETURN TO THINE AND HE COMMANDED TO GIVE HER MEAT. 56 AND HER PARENTS
OWN HOUSE, AND SHEW HOW GREAT THINGS GOD HATH DONE WERE ASTONISHED: BUT HE CHARGED THEM THAT THEY SHOULD
UNTO THEE. AND HE WENT HIS WAY, AND PUBLISHED THROUGHOUT TELL NO MAN WHAT WAS DONE.
THE WHOLE CITY HOW GREAT THINGS JESUS HAD DONE UNTO HIM.
40 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, WHEN JESUS WAS RETURNED, THE
PEOPLE GLADLY RECEIVED HIM: FOR THEY WERE ALL WAITING FOR
HIM. 41 AND, BEHOLD, THERE CAME A MAN NAMED JAIRUS, AND HE
WAS A RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE: AND HE FELL DOWN AT JESUS’
FEET, AND BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE WOULD COME INTO HIS HOUSE:
42 FOR HE HAD ONE ONLY DAUGHTER, ABOUT TWELVE YEARS OF
AGE, AND SHE LAY A DYING. BUT AS HE WENT THE PEOPLE
THRONGED HIM. 43 AND A WOMAN HAVING AN ISSUE OF BLOOD
TWELVE YEARS, WHICH HAD SPENT ALL HER LIVING UPON
PHYSICIANS, NEITHER COULD BE HEALED OF ANY, 44 CAME BEHIND
HIM, AND TOUCHED THE BORDER OF HIS GARMENT: AND
IMMEDIATELY HER ISSUE OF BLOOD STANCHED. 45 AND JESUS SAID,
WHO TOUCHED ME? WHEN ALL DENIED, PETER AND THEY THAT

1286
 LUKE
THEM, AND BRAKE, AND GAVE TO THE DISCIPLES TO SET BEFORE
CHAPTER 9 THE MULTITUDE. 17 AND THEY DID EAT, AND WERE ALL FILLED: AND
THERE WAS TAKEN UP OF FRAGMENTS THAT REMAINED TO THEM
THEN HE CALLED HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES TOGETHER, AND GAVE TWELVE BASKETS. 18 AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS HE WAS ALONE
THEM POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER ALL DEVILS, AND TO CURE PRAYING, HIS DISCIPLES WERE WITH HIM: AND HE ASKED THEM,
DISEASES. 2 AND HE SENT THEM TO PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD, SAYING, WHOM SAY THE PEOPLE THAT I AM? 19 THEY ANSWERING
AND TO HEAL THE SICK. 3 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, TAKE NOTHING SAID, JOHN THE BAPTIST; BUT SOME SAY, ELIAS; AND OTHERS SAY,
FOR YOUR JOURNEY, NEITHER STAVES, NOR SCRIP, NEITHER BREAD, THAT ONE OF THE OLD PROPHETS IS RISEN AGAIN. 20 HE SAID UNTO
NEITHER MONEY; NEITHER HAVE TWO COATS APIECE. 4 AND THEM, BUT WHOM SAY YE THAT I AM? PETER ANSWERING SAID, THE
WHATSOEVER HOUSE YE ENTER INTO, THERE ABIDE, AND THENCE CHRIST OF GOD. 21 AND HE STRAITLY CHARGED THEM, AND
DEPART. 5 AND WHOSOEVER WILL NOT RECEIVE YOU, WHEN YE GO COMMANDED THEM TO TELL NO MAN THAT THING; 22 SAYING, THE
OUT OF THAT CITY, SHAKE OFF THE VERY DUST FROM YOUR FEET SON OF MAN MUST SUFFER MANY THINGS, AND BE REJECTED OF
FOR A TESTIMONY AGAINST THEM. 6 AND THEY DEPARTED, AND THE ELDERS AND CHIEF PRIESTS AND SCRIBES, AND BE SLAIN, AND
WENT THROUGH THE TOWNS, PREACHING THE GOSPEL, AND BE RAISED THE THIRD DAY. 23 AND HE SAID TO THEM ALL, IF ANY
HEALING EVERY WHERE. 7 NOW HEROD THE TETRARCH HEARD OF MAN WILL COME AFTER ME, LET HIM DENY HIMSELF, AND TAKE UP
ALL THAT WAS DONE BY HIM: AND HE WAS PERPLEXED, BECAUSE HIS CROSS DAILY, AND FOLLOW ME. 24 FOR WHOSOEVER WILL SAVE
THAT IT WAS SAID OF SOME, THAT JOHN WAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD; HIS LIFE SHALL LOSE IT: BUT WHOSOEVER WILL LOSE HIS LIFE FOR
8 AND OF SOME, THAT ELIAS HAD APPEARED; AND OF OTHERS, THAT MY SAKE, THE SAME SHALL SAVE IT. 25 FOR WHAT IS A MAN
ONE OF THE OLD PROPHETS WAS RISEN AGAIN. 9 AND HEROD SAID, ADVANTAGED, IF HE GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND LOSE HIMSELF,
JOHN HAVE I BEHEADED: BUT WHO IS THIS, OF WHOM I HEAR SUCH OR BE CAST AWAY? 26 FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL BE ASHAMED OF ME
THINGS? AND HE DESIRED TO SEE HIM. 10 AND THE APOSTLES, AND OF MY WORDS, OF HIM SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE ASHAMED,
WHEN THEY WERE RETURNED, TOLD HIM ALL THAT THEY HAD DONE. WHEN HE SHALL COME IN HIS OWN GLORY, AND IN HIS FATHER’S,
AND HE TOOK THEM, AND WENT ASIDE PRIVATELY INTO A DESERT AND OF THE HOLY ANGELS. 27 BUT I TELL YOU OF A TRUTH, THERE
PLACE BELONGING TO THE CITY CALLED BETHSAIDA. 11 AND THE BE SOME STANDING HERE, WHICH SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, TILL
PEOPLE, WHEN THEY KNEW IT, FOLLOWED HIM: AND HE RECEIVED THEY SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 28 AND IT CAME TO PASS ABOUT
THEM, AND SPAKE UNTO THEM OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND AN EIGHT DAYS AFTER THESE SAYINGS, HE TOOK PETER AND JOHN
HEALED THEM THAT HAD NEED OF HEALING. 12 AND WHEN THE DAY AND JAMES, AND WENT UP INTO A MOUNTAIN TO PRAY. 29 AND AS
BEGAN TO WEAR AWAY, THEN CAME THE TWELVE, AND SAID UNTO HE PRAYED, THE FASHION OF HIS COUNTENANCE WAS ALTERED,
HIM, SEND THE MULTITUDE AWAY, THAT THEY MAY GO INTO THE AND HIS RAIMENT WAS WHITE AND GLISTERING. 30 AND, BEHOLD,
TOWNS AND COUNTRY ROUND ABOUT, AND LODGE, AND GET THERE TALKED WITH HIM TWO MEN, WHICH WERE MOSES AND
VICTUALS: FOR WE ARE HERE IN A DESERT PLACE. 13 BUT HE SAID ELIAS: 31 WHO APPEARED IN GLORY, AND SPAKE OF HIS DECEASE
UNTO THEM, GIVE YE THEM TO EAT. AND THEY SAID, WE HAVE NO WHICH HE SHOULD ACCOMPLISH AT JERUSALEM. 32 BUT PETER AND
MORE BUT FIVE LOAVES AND TWO FISHES; EXCEPT WE SHOULD GO THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM WERE HEAVY WITH SLEEP: AND WHEN
AND BUY MEAT FOR ALL THIS PEOPLE. 14 FOR THEY WERE ABOUT THEY WERE AWAKE, THEY SAW HIS GLORY, AND THE TWO MEN THAT
FIVE THOUSAND MEN. AND HE SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, MAKE THEM STOOD WITH HIM. 33 AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS THEY DEPARTED
SIT DOWN BY FIFTIES IN A COMPANY. 15 AND THEY DID SO, AND FROM HIM, PETER SAID UNTO JESUS, MASTER, IT IS GOOD FOR US
MADE THEM ALL SIT DOWN. 16 THEN HE TOOK THE FIVE LOAVES TO BE HERE: AND LET US MAKE THREE TABERNACLES; ONE FOR THEE,
AND THE TWO FISHES, AND LOOKING UP TO HEAVEN, HE BLESSED AND ONE FOR MOSES, AND ONE FOR ELIAS: NOT KNOWING WHAT

1287
 LUKE
HE SAID. 34 WHILE HE THUS SPAKE, THERE CAME A CLOUD, AND STEDFASTLY SET HIS FACE TO GO TO JERUSALEM, 52 AND SENT
OVERSHADOWED THEM: AND THEY FEARED AS THEY ENTERED INTO MESSENGERS BEFORE HIS FACE: AND THEY WENT, AND ENTERED
THE CLOUD. 35 AND THERE CAME A VOICE OUT OF THE CLOUD, INTO A VILLAGE OF THE SAMARITANS, TO MAKE READY FOR HIM. 53
SAYING, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON: HEAR HIM. 36 AND WHEN THE AND THEY DID NOT RECEIVE HIM, BECAUSE HIS FACE WAS AS
VOICE WAS PAST, JESUS WAS FOUND ALONE. AND THEY KEPT IT THOUGH HE WOULD GO TO JERUSALEM. 54 AND WHEN HIS
CLOSE, AND TOLD NO MAN IN THOSE DAYS ANY OF THOSE THINGS DISCIPLES JAMES AND JOHN SAW THIS, THEY SAID, LORD, WILT
WHICH THEY HAD SEEN. 37 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT ON THE THOU THAT WE COMMAND FIRE TO COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN,
NEXT DAY, WHEN THEY WERE COME DOWN FROM THE HILL, MUCH AND CONSUME THEM, EVEN AS ELIAS DID? 55 BUT HE TURNED, AND
PEOPLE MET HIM. 38 AND, BEHOLD, A MAN OF THE COMPANY CRIED REBUKED THEM, AND SAID, YE KNOW NOT WHAT MANNER OF SPIRIT
OUT, SAYING, MASTER, I BESEECH THEE, LOOK UPON MY SON: FOR YE ARE OF. 56 FOR THE SON OF MAN IS NOT COME TO DESTROY
HE IS MINE ONLY CHILD. 39 AND, LO, A SPIRIT TAKETH HIM, AND HE MEN’S LIVES, BUT TO SAVE THEM. AND THEY WENT TO ANOTHER
SUDDENLY CRIETH OUT; AND IT TEARETH HIM THAT HE FOAMETH VILLAGE. 57 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, AS THEY WENT IN THE
AGAIN, AND BRUISING HIM HARDLY DEPARTETH FROM HIM. 40 AND WAY, A CERTAIN MAN SAID UNTO HIM, LORD, I WILL FOLLOW THEE
I BESOUGHT THY DISCIPLES TO CAST HIM OUT; AND THEY COULD WHITHERSOEVER THOU GOEST. 58 AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM,
NOT. 41 AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID, O FAITHLESS AND PERVERSE FOXES HAVE HOLES, AND BIRDS OF THE AIR HAVE NESTS; BUT THE
GENERATION, HOW LONG SHALL I BE WITH YOU, AND SUFFER YOU? SON OF MAN HATH NOT WHERE TO LAY HIS HEAD. 59 AND HE SAID
BRING THY SON HITHER. 42 AND AS HE WAS YET A COMING, THE UNTO ANOTHER, FOLLOW ME. BUT HE SAID, LORD, SUFFER ME FIRST
DEVIL THREW HIM DOWN, AND TARE HIM. AND JESUS REBUKED THE TO GO AND BURY MY FATHER. 60 JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, LET THE
UNCLEAN SPIRIT, AND HEALED THE CHILD, AND DELIVERED HIM DEAD BURY THEIR DEAD: BUT GO THOU AND PREACH THE KINGDOM
AGAIN TO HIS FATHER. 43 AND THEY WERE ALL AMAZED AT THE OF GOD. 61 AND ANOTHER ALSO SAID, LORD, I WILL FOLLOW THEE;
MIGHTY POWER OF GOD. BUT WHILE THEY WONDERED EVERY ONE BUT LET ME FIRST GO BID THEM FAREWELL, WHICH ARE AT HOME
AT ALL THINGS WHICH JESUS DID, HE SAID UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, 44 AT MY HOUSE. 62 AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, NO MAN, HAVING PUT
LET THESE SAYINGS SINK DOWN INTO YOUR EARS: FOR THE SON OF HIS HAND TO THE PLOUGH, AND LOOKING BACK, IS FIT FOR THE
MAN SHALL BE DELIVERED INTO THE HANDS OF MEN. 45 BUT THEY KINGDOM OF GOD.
UNDERSTOOD NOT THIS SAYING, AND IT WAS HID FROM THEM, THAT
THEY PERCEIVED IT NOT: AND THEY FEARED TO ASK HIM OF THAT
SAYING. 46 THEN THERE AROSE A REASONING AMONG THEM,
WHICH OF THEM SHOULD BE GREATEST. 47 AND JESUS, PERCEIVING
THE THOUGHT OF THEIR HEART, TOOK A CHILD, AND SET HIM BY
HIM, 48 AND SAID UNTO THEM, WHOSOEVER SHALL RECEIVE THIS
CHILD IN MY NAME RECEIVETH ME: AND WHOSOEVER SHALL
RECEIVE ME RECEIVETH HIM THAT SENT ME: FOR HE THAT IS LEAST
AMONG YOU ALL, THE SAME SHALL BE GREAT. 49 AND JOHN
ANSWERED AND SAID, MASTER, WE SAW ONE CASTING OUT DEVILS
IN THY NAME; AND WE FORBAD HIM, BECAUSE HE FOLLOWETH NOT
WITH US. 50 AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, FORBID HIM NOT: FOR HE
THAT IS NOT AGAINST US IS FOR US. 51 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN
THE TIME WAS COME THAT HE SHOULD BE RECEIVED UP, HE

1288
 LUKE
THY NAME. 18 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, I BEHELD SATAN AS
CHAPTER 10 LIGHTNING FALL FROM HEAVEN. 19 BEHOLD, I GIVE UNTO YOU
POWER TO TREAD ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, AND OVER ALL
AFTER THESE THINGS THE LORD APPOINTED OTHER SEVENTY ALSO, THE POWER OF THE ENEMY: AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS
AND SENT THEM TWO AND TWO BEFORE HIS FACE INTO EVERY CITY HURT YOU. 20 NOTWITHSTANDING IN THIS REJOICE NOT, THAT THE
AND PLACE, WHITHER HE HIMSELF WOULD COME. 2 THEREFORE SPIRITS ARE SUBJECT UNTO YOU; BUT RATHER REJOICE, BECAUSE
SAID HE UNTO THEM, THE HARVEST TRULY IS GREAT, BUT THE YOUR NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN. 21 IN THAT HOUR JESUS
LABOURERS ARE FEW: PRAY YE THEREFORE THE LORD OF THE REJOICED IN SPIRIT, AND SAID, I THANK THEE, O FATHER, LORD OF
HARVEST, THAT HE WOULD SEND FORTH LABOURERS INTO HIS HEAVEN AND EARTH, THAT THOU HAST HID THESE THINGS FROM
HARVEST. 3 GO YOUR WAYS: BEHOLD, I SEND YOU FORTH AS LAMBS THE WISE AND PRUDENT, AND HAST REVEALED THEM UNTO BABES:
AMONG WOLVES. 4 CARRY NEITHER PURSE, NOR SCRIP, NOR SHOES: EVEN SO, FATHER; FOR SO IT SEEMED GOOD IN THY SIGHT. 22 ALL
AND SALUTE NO MAN BY THE WAY. 5 AND INTO WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE DELIVERED TO ME OF MY FATHER: AND NO MAN
HOUSE YE ENTER, FIRST SAY, PEACE BE TO THIS HOUSE. 6 AND IF KNOWETH WHO THE SON IS, BUT THE FATHER; AND WHO THE
THE SON OF PEACE BE THERE, YOUR PEACE SHALL REST UPON IT: IF FATHER IS, BUT THE SON, AND HE TO WHOM THE SON WILL REVEAL
NOT, IT SHALL TURN TO YOU AGAIN. 7 AND IN THE SAME HOUSE HIM. 23 AND HE TURNED HIM UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID
REMAIN, EATING AND DRINKING SUCH THINGS AS THEY GIVE: FOR PRIVATELY, BLESSED ARE THE EYES WHICH SEE THE THINGS THAT
THE LABOURER IS WORTHY OF HIS HIRE. GO NOT FROM HOUSE TO YE SEE: 24 FOR I TELL YOU, THAT MANY PROPHETS AND KINGS HAVE
HOUSE. 8 AND INTO WHATSOEVER CITY YE ENTER, AND THEY DESIRED TO SEE THOSE THINGS WHICH YE SEE, AND HAVE NOT SEEN
RECEIVE YOU, EAT SUCH THINGS AS ARE SET BEFORE YOU: 9 AND THEM; AND TO HEAR THOSE THINGS WHICH YE HEAR, AND HAVE
HEAL THE SICK THAT ARE THEREIN, AND SAY UNTO THEM, THE NOT HEARD THEM. 25 AND, BEHOLD, A CERTAIN LAWYER STOOD UP,
KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME NIGH UNTO YOU. 10 BUT INTO AND TEMPTED HIM, SAYING, MASTER, WHAT SHALL I DO TO INHERIT
WHATSOEVER CITY YE ENTER, AND THEY RECEIVE YOU NOT, GO ETERNAL LIFE? 26 HE SAID UNTO HIM, WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE
YOUR WAYS OUT INTO THE STREETS OF THE SAME, AND SAY, 11 LAW? HOW READEST THOU? 27 AND HE ANSWERING SAID, THOU
EVEN THE VERY DUST OF YOUR CITY, WHICH CLEAVETH ON US, WE SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH
DO WIPE OFF AGAINST YOU: NOTWITHSTANDING BE YE SURE OF THIS, ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL THY
THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME NIGH UNTO YOU. 12 BUT I SAY MIND; AND THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. 28 AND HE SAID UNTO
UNTO YOU, THAT IT SHALL BE MORE TOLERABLE IN THAT DAY FOR HIM, THOU HAST ANSWERED RIGHT: THIS DO, AND THOU SHALT LIVE.
SODOM, THAN FOR THAT CITY. 13 WOE UNTO THEE, CHORAZIN! WOE 29 BUT HE, WILLING TO JUSTIFY HIMSELF, SAID UNTO JESUS, AND
UNTO THEE, BETHSAIDA! FOR IF THE MIGHTY WORKS HAD BEEN WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR? 30 AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID, A
DONE IN TYRE AND SIDON, WHICH HAVE BEEN DONE IN YOU, THEY CERTAIN MAN WENT DOWN FROM JERUSALEM TO JERICHO, AND
HAD A GREAT WHILE AGO REPENTED, SITTING IN SACKCLOTH AND FELL AMONG THIEVES, WHICH STRIPPED HIM OF HIS RAIMENT, AND
ASHES. 14 BUT IT SHALL BE MORE TOLERABLE FOR TYRE AND SIDON WOUNDED HIM, AND DEPARTED, LEAVING HIM HALF DEAD. 31 AND
AT THE JUDGMENT, THAN FOR YOU. 15 AND THOU, CAPERNAUM, BY CHANCE THERE CAME DOWN A CERTAIN PRIEST THAT WAY: AND
WHICH ART EXALTED TO HEAVEN, SHALT BE THRUST DOWN TO HELL. WHEN HE SAW HIM, HE PASSED BY ON THE OTHER SIDE. 32 AND
16 HE THAT HEARETH YOU HEARETH ME; AND HE THAT DESPISETH LIKEWISE A LEVITE, WHEN HE WAS AT THE PLACE, CAME AND
YOU DESPISETH ME; AND HE THAT DESPISETH ME DESPISETH HIM LOOKED ON HIM, AND PASSED BY ON THE OTHER SIDE. 33 BUT A
THAT SENT ME. 17 AND THE SEVENTY RETURNED AGAIN WITH JOY, CERTAIN SAMARITAN, AS HE JOURNEYED, CAME WHERE HE WAS:
SAYING, LORD, EVEN THE DEVILS ARE SUBJECT UNTO US THROUGH AND WHEN HE SAW HIM, HE HAD COMPASSION ON HIM, 34 AND

1289
 LUKE
WENT TO HIM, AND BOUND UP HIS WOUNDS, POURING IN OIL AND
WINE, AND SET HIM ON HIS OWN BEAST, AND BROUGHT HIM TO AN
INN, AND TOOK CARE OF HIM. 35 AND ON THE MORROW WHEN HE
DEPARTED, HE TOOK OUT TWO PENCE, AND GAVE THEM TO THE
HOST, AND SAID UNTO HIM, TAKE CARE OF HIM; AND WHATSOEVER
THOU SPENDEST MORE, WHEN I COME AGAIN, I WILL REPAY THEE.
36 WHICH NOW OF THESE THREE, THINKEST THOU, WAS
NEIGHBOUR UNTO HIM THAT FELL AMONG THE THIEVES? 37 AND HE
SAID, HE THAT SHEWED MERCY ON HIM. THEN SAID JESUS UNTO
HIM, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE. 38 NOW IT CAME TO PASS, AS
THEY WENT, THAT HE ENTERED INTO A CERTAIN VILLAGE: AND A
CERTAIN WOMAN NAMED MARTHA RECEIVED HIM INTO HER HOUSE.
39 AND SHE HAD A SISTER CALLED MARY, WHICH ALSO SAT AT JESUS’
FEET, AND HEARD HIS WORD. 40 BUT MARTHA WAS CUMBERED
ABOUT MUCH SERVING, AND CAME TO HIM, AND SAID, LORD, DOST
THOU NOT CARE THAT MY SISTER HATH LEFT ME TO SERVE ALONE?
BID HER THEREFORE THAT SHE HELP ME. 41 AND JESUS ANSWERED
AND SAID UNTO HER, MARTHA, MARTHA, THOU ART CAREFUL AND
TROUBLED ABOUT MANY THINGS: 42 BUT ONE THING IS NEEDFUL:
AND MARY HATH CHOSEN THAT GOOD PART, WHICH SHALL NOT BE
TAKEN AWAY FROM HER.

1290
 LUKE
BROUGHT TO DESOLATION; AND A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST A
CHAPTER 11 HOUSE FALLETH. 18 IF SATAN ALSO BE DIVIDED AGAINST HIMSELF,
HOW SHALL HIS KINGDOM STAND? BECAUSE YE SAY THAT I CAST
AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, AS HE WAS PRAYING IN A CERTAIN OUT DEVILS THROUGH BEELZEBUB. 19 AND IF I BY BEELZEBUB CAST
PLACE, WHEN HE CEASED, ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES SAID UNTO HIM, OUT DEVILS, BY WHOM DO YOUR SONS CAST THEM OUT? THEREFORE
LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY, AS JOHN ALSO TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES. 2 SHALL THEY BE YOUR JUDGES. 20 BUT IF I WITH THE FINGER OF GOD
AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHEN YE PRAY, SAY, OUR FATHER WHICH CAST OUT DEVILS, NO DOUBT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME UPON
ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME. YOU. 21 WHEN A STRONG MAN ARMED KEEPETH HIS PALACE, HIS
THY WILL BE DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, SO IN EARTH. 3 GIVE US DAY BY GOODS ARE IN PEACE: 22 BUT WHEN A STRONGER THAN HE SHALL
DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. 4 AND FORGIVE US OUR SINS; FOR WE ALSO COME UPON HIM, AND OVERCOME HIM, HE TAKETH FROM HIM ALL
FORGIVE EVERY ONE THAT IS INDEBTED TO US. AND LEAD US NOT HIS ARMOUR WHEREIN HE TRUSTED, AND DIVIDETH HIS SPOILS. 23
INTO TEMPTATION; BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL. 5 AND HE SAID HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME: AND HE THAT GATHERETH
UNTO THEM, WHICH OF YOU SHALL HAVE A FRIEND, AND SHALL GO NOT WITH ME SCATTERETH. 24 WHEN THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT IS GONE
UNTO HIM AT MIDNIGHT, AND SAY UNTO HIM, FRIEND, LEND ME OUT OF A MAN, HE WALKETH THROUGH DRY PLACES, SEEKING REST;
THREE LOAVES; 6 FOR A FRIEND OF MINE IN HIS JOURNEY IS COME AND FINDING NONE, HE SAITH, I WILL RETURN UNTO MY HOUSE
TO ME, AND I HAVE NOTHING TO SET BEFORE HIM? 7 AND HE FROM WHENCE I CAME OUT. 25 AND WHEN HE COMETH, HE FINDETH IT
WITHIN SHALL ANSWER AND SAY, TROUBLE ME NOT: THE DOOR IS SWEPT AND GARNISHED. 26 THEN GOETH HE, AND TAKETH TO HIM
NOW SHUT, AND MY CHILDREN ARE WITH ME IN BED; I CANNOT SEVEN OTHER SPIRITS MORE WICKED THAN HIMSELF; AND THEY
RISE AND GIVE THEE. 8 I SAY UNTO YOU, THOUGH HE WILL NOT RISE ENTER IN, AND DWELL THERE: AND THE LAST STATE OF THAT MAN
AND GIVE HIM, BECAUSE HE IS HIS FRIEND, YET BECAUSE OF HIS IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST. 27 AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS HE SPAKE
IMPORTUNITY HE WILL RISE AND GIVE HIM AS MANY AS HE THESE THINGS, A CERTAIN WOMAN OF THE COMPANY LIFTED UP
NEEDETH. 9 AND I SAY UNTO YOU, ASK, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU; HER VOICE, AND SAID UNTO HIM, BLESSED IS THE WOMB THAT BARE
SEEK, AND YE SHALL FIND; KNOCK, AND IT SHALL BE OPENED UNTO THEE, AND THE PAPS WHICH THOU HAST SUCKED. 28 BUT HE SAID,
YOU. 10 FOR EVERY ONE THAT ASKETH RECEIVETH; AND HE THAT YEA RATHER, BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HEAR THE WORD OF GOD,
SEEKETH FINDETH; AND TO HIM THAT KNOCKETH IT SHALL BE AND KEEP IT. 29 AND WHEN THE PEOPLE WERE GATHERED THICK
OPENED. 11 IF A SON SHALL ASK BREAD OF ANY OF YOU THAT IS A TOGETHER, HE BEGAN TO SAY, THIS IS AN EVIL GENERATION: THEY
FATHER, WILL HE GIVE HIM A STONE? OR IF HE ASK A FISH, WILL HE SEEK A SIGN; AND THERE SHALL NO SIGN BE GIVEN IT, BUT THE SIGN
FOR A FISH GIVE HIM A SERPENT? 12 OR IF HE SHALL ASK AN EGG, OF JONAS THE PROPHET. 30 FOR AS JONAS WAS A SIGN UNTO THE
WILL HE OFFER HIM A SCORPION? 13 IF YE THEN, BEING EVIL, KNOW NINEVITES, SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN BE TO THIS
HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS UNTO YOUR CHILDREN: HOW MUCH GENERATION. 31 THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH SHALL RISE UP IN THE
MORE SHALL YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO JUDGMENT WITH THE MEN OF THIS GENERATION, AND CONDEMN
THEM THAT ASK HIM? 14 AND HE WAS CASTING OUT A DEVIL, AND THEM: FOR SHE CAME FROM THE UTMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH TO
IT WAS DUMB. AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE DEVIL WAS GONE HEAR THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON; AND, BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN
OUT, THE DUMB SPAKE; AND THE PEOPLE WONDERED. 15 BUT SOME SOLOMON IS HERE. 32 THE MEN OF NINEVE SHALL RISE UP IN THE
OF THEM SAID, HE CASTETH OUT DEVILS THROUGH BEELZEBUB THE JUDGMENT WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: FOR
CHIEF OF THE DEVILS. 16 AND OTHERS, TEMPTING HIM, SOUGHT OF THEY REPENTED AT THE PREACHING OF JONAS; AND, BEHOLD, A
HIM A SIGN FROM HEAVEN. 17 BUT HE, KNOWING THEIR THOUGHTS, GREATER THAN JONAS IS HERE. 33 NO MAN, WHEN HE HATH
SAID UNTO THEM, EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF IS LIGHTED A CANDLE, PUTTETH IT IN A SECRET PLACE, NEITHER

1291
 LUKE
UNDER A BUSHEL, BUT ON A CANDLESTICK, THAT THEY WHICH OF THE WORLD, MAY BE REQUIRED OF THIS GENERATION; 51 FROM
COME IN MAY SEE THE LIGHT. 34 THE LIGHT OF THE BODY IS THE THE BLOOD OF ABEL UNTO THE BLOOD OF ZACHARIAS, WHICH
EYE: THEREFORE WHEN THINE EYE IS SINGLE, THY WHOLE BODY PERISHED BETWEEN THE ALTAR AND THE TEMPLE: VERILY I SAY
ALSO IS FULL OF LIGHT; BUT WHEN THINE EYE IS EVIL, THY BODY UNTO YOU, IT SHALL BE REQUIRED OF THIS GENERATION. 52 WOE
ALSO IS FULL OF DARKNESS. 35 TAKE HEED THEREFORE THAT THE UNTO YOU, LAWYERS! FOR YE HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE KEY OF
LIGHT WHICH IS IN THEE BE NOT DARKNESS. 36 IF THY WHOLE BODY KNOWLEDGE: YE ENTERED NOT IN YOURSELVES, AND THEM THAT
THEREFORE BE FULL OF LIGHT, HAVING NO PART DARK, THE WHOLE WERE ENTERING IN YE HINDERED. 53 AND AS HE SAID THESE
SHALL BE FULL OF LIGHT, AS WHEN THE BRIGHT SHINING OF A THINGS UNTO THEM, THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES BEGAN TO
CANDLE DOTH GIVE THEE LIGHT. 37 AND AS HE SPAKE, A CERTAIN URGE HIM VEHEMENTLY, AND TO PROVOKE HIM TO SPEAK OF MANY
PHARISEE BESOUGHT HIM TO DINE WITH HIM: AND HE WENT IN, THINGS: 54 LAYING WAIT FOR HIM, AND SEEKING TO CATCH
AND SAT DOWN TO MEAT. 38 AND WHEN THE PHARISEE SAW IT, HE SOMETHING OUT OF HIS MOUTH, THAT THEY MIGHT ACCUSE HIM.
MARVELLED THAT HE HAD NOT FIRST WASHED BEFORE DINNER. 39
AND THE LORD SAID UNTO HIM, NOW DO YE PHARISEES MAKE
CLEAN THE OUTSIDE OF THE CUP AND THE PLATTER; BUT YOUR
INWARD PART IS FULL OF RAVENING AND WICKEDNESS. 40 YE FOOLS,
DID NOT HE THAT MADE THAT WHICH IS WITHOUT MAKE THAT
WHICH IS WITHIN ALSO? 41 BUT RATHER GIVE ALMS OF SUCH
THINGS AS YE HAVE; AND, BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE CLEAN UNTO
YOU. 42 BUT WOE UNTO YOU, PHARISEES! FOR YE TITHE MINT AND
RUE AND ALL MANNER OF HERBS, AND PASS OVER JUDGMENT AND
THE LOVE OF GOD: THESE OUGHT YE TO HAVE DONE, AND NOT TO
LEAVE THE OTHER UNDONE. 43 WOE UNTO YOU, PHARISEES! FOR YE
LOVE THE UPPERMOST SEATS IN THE SYNAGOGUES, AND GREETINGS
IN THE MARKETS. 44 WOE UNTO YOU, SCRIBES AND PHARISEES,
HYPOCRITES! FOR YE ARE AS GRAVES WHICH APPEAR NOT, AND THE
MEN THAT WALK OVER THEM ARE NOT AWARE OF THEM. 45 THEN
ANSWERED ONE OF THE LAWYERS, AND SAID UNTO HIM, MASTER,
THUS SAYING THOU REPROACHEST US ALSO. 46 AND HE SAID, WOE
UNTO YOU ALSO, YE LAWYERS! FOR YE LADE MEN WITH BURDENS
GRIEVOUS TO BE BORNE, AND YE YOURSELVES TOUCH NOT THE
BURDENS WITH ONE OF YOUR FINGERS. 47 WOE UNTO YOU! FOR YE
BUILD THE SEPULCHRES OF THE PROPHETS, AND YOUR FATHERS
KILLED THEM. 48 TRULY YE BEAR WITNESS THAT YE ALLOW THE
DEEDS OF YOUR FATHERS: FOR THEY INDEED KILLED THEM, AND YE
BUILD THEIR SEPULCHRES. 49 THEREFORE ALSO SAID THE WISDOM
OF GOD, I WILL SEND THEM PROPHETS AND APOSTLES, AND SOME
OF THEM THEY SHALL SLAY AND PERSECUTE: 50 THAT THE BLOOD
OF ALL THE PROPHETS, WHICH WAS SHED FROM THE FOUNDATION

THE GROUND OF A CERTAIN RICH MAN BROUGHT FORTH
CHAPTER 12 PLENTIFULLY: 17 AND HE THOUGHT WITHIN HIMSELF, SAYING,
WHAT SHALL I DO, BECAUSE I HAVE NO ROOM WHERE TO BESTOW
IN THE MEAN TIME, WHEN THERE WERE GATHERED TOGETHER AN MY FRUITS? 18 AND HE SAID, THIS WILL I DO: I WILL PULL DOWN
INNUMERABLE MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE, INSOMUCH THAT THEY MY BARNS, AND BUILD GREATER; AND THERE WILL I BESTOW ALL
TRODE ONE UPON ANOTHER, HE BEGAN TO SAY UNTO HIS DISCIPLES MY FRUITS AND MY GOODS. 19 AND I WILL SAY TO MY SOUL, SOUL,
FIRST OF ALL, BEWARE YE OF THE LEAVEN OF THE PHARISEES, THOU HAST MUCH GOODS LAID UP FOR MANY YEARS; TAKE THINE
WHICH IS HYPOCRISY. 2 FOR THERE IS NOTHING COVERED, THAT EASE, EAT, DRINK, AND BE MERRY. 20 BUT GOD SAID UNTO HIM,
SHALL NOT BE REVEALED; NEITHER HID, THAT SHALL NOT BE THOU FOOL, THIS NIGHT THY SOUL SHALL BE REQUIRED OF THEE:
KNOWN. 3 THEREFORE WHATSOEVER YE HAVE SPOKEN IN THEN WHOSE SHALL THOSE THINGS BE, WHICH THOU HAST
DARKNESS SHALL BE HEARD IN THE LIGHT; AND THAT WHICH YE PROVIDED? 21 SO IS HE THAT LAYETH UP TREASURE FOR HIMSELF,
HAVE SPOKEN IN THE EAR IN CLOSETS SHALL BE PROCLAIMED UPON AND IS NOT RICH TOWARD GOD. 22 AND HE SAID UNTO HIS
THE HOUSETOPS. 4 AND I SAY UNTO YOU MY FRIENDS, BE NOT DISCIPLES, THEREFORE I SAY UNTO YOU, TAKE NO THOUGHT FOR
AFRAID OF THEM THAT KILL THE BODY, AND AFTER THAT HAVE NO YOUR LIFE, WHAT YE SHALL EAT; NEITHER FOR THE BODY, WHAT YE
MORE THAT THEY CAN DO. 5 BUT I WILL FOREWARN YOU WHOM YE SHALL PUT ON. 23 THE LIFE IS MORE THAN MEAT, AND THE BODY IS
SHALL FEAR: FEAR HIM, WHICH AFTER HE HATH KILLED HATH MORE THAN RAIMENT. 24 CONSIDER THE RAVENS: FOR THEY
POWER TO CAST INTO HELL; YEA, I SAY UNTO YOU, FEAR HIM. 6 ARE NEITHER SOW NOR REAP; WHICH NEITHER HAVE STOREHOUSE NOR
NOT FIVE SPARROWS SOLD FOR TWO FARTHINGS, AND NOT ONE OF BARN; AND GOD FEEDETH THEM: HOW MUCH MORE ARE YE BETTER
THEM IS FORGOTTEN BEFORE GOD? 7 BUT EVEN THE VERY HAIRS OF THAN THE FOWLS? 25 AND WHICH OF YOU WITH TAKING THOUGHT
YOUR HEAD ARE ALL NUMBERED. FEAR NOT THEREFORE: YE ARE OF CAN ADD TO HIS STATURE ONE CUBIT? 26 IF YE THEN BE NOT ABLE
MORE VALUE THAN MANY SPARROWS. 8 ALSO I SAY UNTO YOU, TO DO THAT THING WHICH IS LEAST, WHY TAKE YE THOUGHT FOR
WHOSOEVER SHALL CONFESS ME BEFORE MEN, HIM SHALL THE SON THE REST? 27 CONSIDER THE LILIES HOW THEY GROW: THEY TOIL
OF MAN ALSO CONFESS BEFORE THE ANGELS OF GOD: 9 BUT HE THAT NOT, THEY SPIN NOT; AND YET I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT SOLOMON IN
DENIETH ME BEFORE MEN SHALL BE DENIED BEFORE THE ANGELS ALL HIS GLORY WAS NOT ARRAYED LIKE ONE OF THESE. 28 IF THEN
OF GOD. 10 AND WHOSOEVER SHALL SPEAK A WORD AGAINST THE GOD SO CLOTHE THE GRASS, WHICH IS TO DAY IN THE FIELD, AND
SON OF MAN, IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM: BUT UNTO HIM THAT TO MORROW IS CAST INTO THE OVEN; HOW MUCH MORE WILL HE
BLASPHEMETH AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST IT SHALL NOT BE CLOTHE YOU, O YE OF LITTLE FAITH? 29 AND SEEK NOT YE WHAT YE
FORGIVEN. 11 AND WHEN THEY BRING YOU UNTO THE SYNAGOGUES, SHALL EAT, OR WHAT YE SHALL DRINK, NEITHER BE YE OF

HOW OR WHAT THING YE SHALL ANSWER, OR WHAT YE SHALL SAY: THE WORLD SEEK AFTER: AND YOUR FATHER KNOWETH THAT YE
12 FOR THE HOLY GHOST SHALL TEACH YOU IN THE SAME HOUR HAVE NEED OF THESE THINGS. 31 BUT RATHER SEEK YE THE
WHAT YE OUGHT TO SAY. 13 AND ONE OF THE COMPANY SAID UNTO KINGDOM OF GOD; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO
HIM, MASTER, SPEAK TO MY BROTHER, THAT HE DIVIDE THE YOU. 32 FEAR NOT, LITTLE FLOCK; FOR IT IS YOUR FATHER’S GOOD
INHERITANCE WITH ME. 14 AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, MAN, WHO PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM. 33 SELL THAT YE HAVE, AND
MADE ME A JUDGE OR A DIVIDER OVER YOU? 15 AND HE SAID UNTO GIVE ALMS; PROVIDE YOURSELVES BAGS WHICH WAX NOT OLD, A
THEM, TAKE HEED, AND BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS: FOR A MAN’S TREASURE IN THE HEAVENS THAT FAILETH NOT, WHERE NO THIEF
LIFE CONSISTETH NOT IN THE ABUNDANCE OF THE THINGS WHICH APPROACHETH, NEITHER MOTH CORRUPTETH. 34 FOR WHERE YOUR

1293

BE GIRDED ABOUT, AND YOUR LIGHTS BURNING; 36 AND YE PEACE ON EARTH? I TELL YOU, NAY; BUT RATHER DIVISION: 52 FOR
YOURSELVES LIKE UNTO MEN THAT WAIT FOR THEIR LORD, WHEN FROM HENCEFORTH THERE SHALL BE FIVE IN ONE HOUSE DIVIDED,
HE WILL RETURN FROM THE WEDDING; THAT WHEN HE COMETH THREE AGAINST TWO, AND TWO AGAINST THREE. 53 THE FATHER

WILL COME FORTH AND SERVE THEM. 38 AND IF HE SHALL COME IN MOTHER IN LAW. 54 AND HE SAID ALSO TO THE PEOPLE, WHEN YE
THE SECOND WATCH, OR COME IN THE THIRD WATCH, AND FIND SEE A CLOUD RISE OUT OF THE WEST, STRAIGHTWAY YE SAY, THERE
THEM SO, BLESSED ARE THOSE SERVANTS. 39 AND THIS KNOW, THAT COMETH A SHOWER; AND SO IT IS. 55 AND WHEN YE SEE THE SOUTH
IF THE GOODMAN OF THE HOUSE HAD KNOWN WHAT HOUR THE WIND BLOW, YE SAY, THERE WILL BE HEAT; AND IT COMETH TO PASS.
THIEF WOULD COME, HE WOULD HAVE WATCHED, AND NOT HAVE 56 YE HYPOCRITES, YE CAN DISCERN THE FACE OF THE SKY AND OF
SUFFERED HIS HOUSE TO BE BROKEN THROUGH. 40 BE YE THE EARTH; BUT HOW IS IT THAT YE DO NOT DISCERN THIS TIME? 57
THEREFORE READY ALSO: FOR THE SON OF MAN COMETH AT AN YEA, AND WHY EVEN OF YOURSELVES JUDGE YE NOT WHAT IS RIGHT?
HOUR WHEN YE THINK NOT. 41 THEN PETER SAID UNTO HIM, LORD, 58 WHEN THOU GOEST WITH THINE ADVERSARY TO THE MAGISTRATE,
SPEAKEST THOU THIS PARABLE UNTO US, OR EVEN TO ALL? 42 AND AS THOU ART IN THE WAY, GIVE DILIGENCE THAT THOU MAYEST BE

IS THAT SERVANT, WHOM HIS LORD WHEN HE COMETH SHALL FIND TILL THOU HAST PAID THE VERY LAST MITE.
SO DOING. 44 OF A TRUTH I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT HE WILL MAKE
HIM RULER OVER ALL THAT HE HATH. 45 BUT AND IF THAT SERVANT
SAY IN HIS HEART, MY LORD DELAYETH HIS COMING; AND SHALL
BEGIN TO BEAT THE MENSERVANTS AND MAIDENS, AND TO EAT AND
DRINK, AND TO BE DRUNKEN; 46 THE LORD OF THAT SERVANT WILL
COME IN A DAY WHEN HE LOOKETH NOT FOR HIM, AND AT AN HOUR
WHEN HE IS NOT AWARE, AND WILL CUT HIM IN SUNDER, AND WILL
APPOINT HIM HIS PORTION WITH THE UNBELIEVERS. 47 AND THAT
SERVANT, WHICH KNEW HIS LORD’S WILL, AND PREPARED NOT
HIMSELF, NEITHER DID ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, SHALL BE BEATEN
WITH MANY STRIPES. 48 BUT HE THAT KNEW NOT, AND DID COMMIT
THINGS WORTHY OF STRIPES, SHALL BE BEATEN WITH FEW STRIPES.
FOR UNTO WHOMSOEVER MUCH IS GIVEN, OF HIM SHALL BE MUCH
REQUIRED: AND TO WHOM MEN HAVE COMMITTED MUCH, OF HIM
THEY WILL ASK THE MORE. 49 I AM COME TO SEND FIRE ON THE
EARTH; AND WHAT WILL I, IF IT BE ALREADY KINDLED? 50 BUT I
HAVE A BAPTISM TO BE BAPTIZED WITH; AND HOW AM I STRAITENED
TILL IT BE ACCOMPLISHED! 51 SUPPOSE YE THAT I AM COME TO GIVE

 LUKE
LOOSED FROM THIS BOND ON THE SABBATH DAY? 17 AND WHEN HE
CHAPTER 13 HAD SAID THESE THINGS, ALL HIS ADVERSARIES WERE ASHAMED:
AND ALL THE PEOPLE REJOICED FOR ALL THE GLORIOUS THINGS
THERE WERE PRESENT AT THAT SEASON SOME THAT TOLD HIM OF THAT WERE DONE BY HIM. 18 THEN SAID HE, UNTO WHAT IS THE
THE GALILÆANS, WHOSE BLOOD PILATE HAD MINGLED WITH THEIR KINGDOM OF GOD LIKE? AND WHEREUNTO SHALL I RESEMBLE IT?
SACRIFICES. 2 AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID UNTO THEM, SUPPOSE 19 IT IS LIKE A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, WHICH A MAN TOOK, AND
YE THAT THESE GALILÆANS WERE SINNERS ABOVE ALL THE CAST INTO HIS GARDEN; AND IT GREW, AND WAXED A GREAT TREE;
GALILÆANS, BECAUSE THEY SUFFERED SUCH THINGS? 3 I TELL YOU, AND THE FOWLS OF THE AIR LODGED IN THE BRANCHES OF IT. 20
NAY: BUT, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH. 4 OR AND AGAIN HE SAID, WHEREUNTO SHALL I LIKEN THE KINGDOM OF
THOSE EIGHTEEN, UPON WHOM THE TOWER IN SILOAM FELL, AND GOD? 21 IT IS LIKE LEAVEN, WHICH A WOMAN TOOK AND HID IN
SLEW THEM, THINK YE THAT THEY WERE SINNERS ABOVE ALL MEN THREE MEASURES OF MEAL, TILL THE WHOLE WAS LEAVENED. 22
THAT DWELT IN JERUSALEM? 5 I TELL YOU, NAY: BUT, EXCEPT YE AND HE WENT THROUGH THE CITIES AND VILLAGES, TEACHING, AND
REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH. 6 HE SPAKE ALSO THIS JOURNEYING TOWARD JERUSALEM. 23 THEN SAID ONE UNTO HIM,
PARABLE; A CERTAIN MAN HAD A FIG TREE PLANTED IN HIS LORD, ARE THERE FEW THAT BE SAVED? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM,
VINEYARD; AND HE CAME AND SOUGHT FRUIT THEREON, AND 24 STRIVE TO ENTER IN AT THE STRAIT GATE: FOR MANY, I SAY UNTO
FOUND NONE. 7 THEN SAID HE UNTO THE DRESSER OF HIS YOU, WILL SEEK TO ENTER IN, AND SHALL NOT BE ABLE. 25 WHEN
VINEYARD, BEHOLD, THESE THREE YEARS I COME SEEKING FRUIT ON ONCE THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE IS RISEN UP, AND HATH SHUT TO
THIS FIG TREE, AND FIND NONE: CUT IT DOWN; WHY CUMBERETH IT THE DOOR, AND YE BEGIN TO STAND WITHOUT, AND TO KNOCK AT
THE GROUND? 8 AND HE ANSWERING SAID UNTO HIM, LORD, LET IT THE DOOR, SAYING, LORD, LORD, OPEN UNTO US; AND HE SHALL
ALONE THIS YEAR ALSO, TILL I SHALL DIG ABOUT IT, AND DUNG IT: ANSWER AND SAY UNTO YOU, I KNOW YOU NOT WHENCE YE ARE:
9 AND IF IT BEAR FRUIT, WELL: AND IF NOT, THEN AFTER THAT THOU 26 THEN SHALL YE BEGIN TO SAY, WE HAVE EATEN AND DRUNK IN
SHALT CUT IT DOWN. 10 AND HE WAS TEACHING IN ONE OF THE THY PRESENCE, AND THOU HAST TAUGHT IN OUR STREETS. 27 BUT
SYNAGOGUES ON THE SABBATH. 11 AND, BEHOLD, THERE WAS A HE SHALL SAY, I TELL YOU, I KNOW YOU NOT WHENCE YE ARE;
WOMAN WHICH HAD A SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY EIGHTEEN YEARS, AND DEPART FROM ME, ALL YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY. 28 THERE SHALL

AND HE LAID HIS HANDS ON HER: AND IMMEDIATELY SHE WAS THEY SHALL COME FROM THE EAST, AND FROM THE WEST, AND
MADE STRAIGHT, AND GLORIFIED GOD. 14 AND THE RULER OF THE FROM THE NORTH, AND FROM THE SOUTH, AND SHALL SIT DOWN
SYNAGOGUE ANSWERED WITH INDIGNATION, BECAUSE THAT JESUS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 30 AND, BEHOLD, THERE ARE LAST WHICH
HAD HEALED ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE, SHALL BE FIRST, AND THERE ARE FIRST WHICH SHALL BE LAST. 31
THERE ARE SIX DAYS IN WHICH MEN OUGHT TO WORK: IN THEM THE SAME DAY THERE CAME CERTAIN OF THE PHARISEES, SAYING
THEREFORE COME AND BE HEALED, AND NOT ON THE SABBATH DAY. UNTO HIM, GET THEE OUT, AND DEPART HENCE: FOR HEROD WILL
15 THE LORD THEN ANSWERED HIM, AND SAID, THOU HYPOCRITE, KILL THEE. 32 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, GO YE, AND TELL THAT FOX,
DOTH NOT EACH ONE OF YOU ON THE SABBATH LOOSE HIS OX OR BEHOLD, I CAST OUT DEVILS, AND I DO CURES TO DAY AND TO
HIS ASS FROM THE STALL, AND LEAD HIM AWAY TO WATERING? 16 MORROW, AND THE THIRD DAY I SHALL BE PERFECTED. 33
AND OUGHT NOT THIS WOMAN, BEING A DAUGHTER OF ABRAHAM, NEVERTHELESS I MUST WALK TO DAY, AND TO MORROW, AND THE
WHOM SATAN HATH BOUND, LO, THESE EIGHTEEN YEARS, BE DAY FOLLOWING: FOR IT CANNOT BE THAT A PROPHET PERISH OUT

OF JERUSALEM. 34 O JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM, WHICH KILLEST THE
PROPHETS, AND STONEST THEM THAT ARE SENT UNTO THEE; HOW
OFTEN WOULD I HAVE GATHERED THY CHILDREN TOGETHER, AS A
HEN DOTH GATHER HER BROOD UNDER HER WINGS, AND YE WOULD
NOT! 35 BEHOLD, YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE: AND
VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, YE SHALL NOT SEE ME, UNTIL THE TIME
COME WHEN YE SHALL SAY, BLESSED IS HE THAT COMETH IN THE
NAME OF THE LORD.

 LUKE
TIME TO SAY TO THEM THAT WERE BIDDEN, COME; FOR ALL THINGS
CHAPTER 14 ARE NOW READY. 18 AND THEY ALL WITH ONE CONSENT BEGAN TO
MAKE EXCUSE. THE FIRST SAID UNTO HIM, I HAVE BOUGHT A PIECE
AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF ONE OF OF GROUND, AND I MUST NEEDS GO AND SEE IT: I PRAY THEE HAVE
THE CHIEF PHARISEES TO EAT BREAD ON THE SABBATH DAY, THAT ME EXCUSED. 19 AND ANOTHER SAID, I HAVE BOUGHT FIVE YOKE OF
THEY WATCHED HIM. 2 AND, BEHOLD, THERE WAS A CERTAIN MAN OXEN, AND I GO TO PROVE THEM: I PRAY THEE HAVE ME EXCUSED.
BEFORE HIM WHICH HAD THE DROPSY. 3 AND JESUS ANSWERING 20 AND ANOTHER SAID, I HAVE MARRIED A WIFE, AND THEREFORE I
SPAKE UNTO THE LAWYERS AND PHARISEES, SAYING, IS IT LAWFUL CANNOT COME. 21 SO THAT SERVANT CAME, AND SHEWED HIS LORD
TO HEAL ON THE SABBATH DAY? 4 AND THEY HELD THEIR PEACE. THESE THINGS. THEN THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE BEING ANGRY
AND HE TOOK HIM, AND HEALED HIM, AND LET HIM GO; 5 AND SAID TO HIS SERVANT, GO OUT QUICKLY INTO THE STREETS AND
ANSWERED THEM, SAYING, WHICH OF YOU SHALL HAVE AN ASS OR LANES OF THE CITY, AND BRING IN HITHER THE POOR, AND THE
AN OX FALLEN INTO A PIT, AND WILL NOT STRAIGHTWAY PULL HIM MAIMED, AND THE HALT, AND THE BLIND. 22 AND THE SERVANT
OUT ON THE SABBATH DAY? 6 AND THEY COULD NOT ANSWER HIM SAID, LORD, IT IS DONE AS THOU HAST COMMANDED, AND YET
AGAIN TO THESE THINGS. 7 AND HE PUT FORTH A PARABLE TO THOSE THERE IS ROOM. 23 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO THE SERVANT, GO
WHICH WERE BIDDEN, WHEN HE MARKED HOW THEY CHOSE OUT OUT INTO THE HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES, AND COMPEL THEM TO
THE CHIEF ROOMS; SAYING UNTO THEM, 8 WHEN THOU ART BIDDEN COME IN, THAT MY HOUSE MAY BE FILLED. 24 FOR I SAY UNTO YOU,
OF ANY MAN TO A WEDDING, SIT NOT DOWN IN THE HIGHEST ROOM; THAT NONE OF THOSE MEN WHICH WERE BIDDEN SHALL TASTE OF
LEST A MORE HONOURABLE MAN THAN THOU BE BIDDEN OF HIM; 9 MY SUPPER. 25 AND THERE WENT GREAT MULTITUDES WITH HIM:
AND HE THAT BADE THEE AND HIM COME AND SAY TO THEE, GIVE AND HE TURNED, AND SAID UNTO THEM, 26 IF ANY MAN COME TO
THIS MAN PLACE; AND THOU BEGIN WITH SHAME TO TAKE THE ME, AND HATE NOT HIS FATHER, AND MOTHER, AND WIFE, AND
LOWEST ROOM. 10 BUT WHEN THOU ART BIDDEN, GO AND SIT DOWN CHILDREN, AND BRETHREN, AND SISTERS, YEA, AND HIS OWN LIFE
IN THE LOWEST ROOM; THAT WHEN HE THAT BADE THEE COMETH, ALSO, HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE. 27 AND WHOSOEVER DOTH NOT
HE MAY SAY UNTO THEE, FRIEND, GO UP HIGHER: THEN SHALT THOU BEAR HIS CROSS, AND COME AFTER ME, CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.

LONG TIME. 10 AND AT THE SEASON HE SENT A SERVANT TO THE ANSWER, AND HELD THEIR PEACE. 27 THEN CAME TO HIM CERTAIN
HUSBANDMEN, THAT THEY SHOULD GIVE HIM OF THE FRUIT OF THE OF THE SADDUCEES, WHICH DENY THAT THERE IS ANY
VINEYARD: BUT THE HUSBANDMEN BEAT HIM, AND SENT HIM AWAY RESURRECTION; AND THEY ASKED HIM, 28 SAYING, MASTER, MOSES

SON: IT MAY BE THEY WILL REVERENCE HIM WHEN THEY SEE HIM. AND HE DIED CHILDLESS. 31 AND THE THIRD TOOK HER; AND IN LIKE

BUSH, WHEN HE CALLETH THE LORD THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND
THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB. 38 FOR HE IS NOT A
GOD OF THE DEAD, BUT OF THE LIVING: FOR ALL LIVE UNTO HIM. 39
THEN CERTAIN OF THE SCRIBES ANSWERING SAID, MASTER, THOU
HAST WELL SAID. 40 AND AFTER THAT THEY DURST NOT ASK HIM
ANY QUESTION AT ALL. 41 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, HOW SAY THEY
THAT CHRIST IS DAVID’S SON? 42 AND DAVID HIMSELF SAITH IN THE
BOOK OF PSALMS, THE LORD SAID UNTO MY LORD, SIT THOU ON MY
RIGHT HAND, 43 TILL I MAKE THINE ENEMIES THY FOOTSTOOL. 44
DAVID THEREFORE CALLETH HIM LORD, HOW IS HE THEN HIS SON?
45 THEN IN THE AUDIENCE OF ALL THE PEOPLE HE SAID UNTO HIS
DISCIPLES, 46 BEWARE OF THE SCRIBES, WHICH DESIRE TO WALK IN

ABOUT THE SIXTH HOUR, AND THERE WAS A DARKNESS OVER ALL
THE EARTH UNTIL THE NINTH HOUR. 45 AND THE SUN WAS
DARKENED, AND THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE WAS RENT IN THE MIDST.
46 AND WHEN JESUS HAD CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, HE SAID,
FATHER, INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT: AND HAVING SAID
THUS, HE GAVE UP THE GHOST. 47 NOW WHEN THE CENTURION
SAW WHAT WAS DONE, HE GLORIFIED GOD, SAYING, CERTAINLY
THIS WAS A RIGHTEOUS MAN. 48 AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAME
TOGETHER TO THAT SIGHT, BEHOLDING THE THINGS WHICH WERE
DONE, SMOTE THEIR BREASTS, AND RETURNED. 49 AND ALL HIS
ACQUAINTANCE, AND THE WOMEN THAT FOLLOWED HIM FROM

WRAPPED IT IN LINEN, AND LAID IT IN A SEPULCHRE THAT WAS
HEWN IN STONE, WHEREIN NEVER MAN BEFORE WAS LAID. 54 AND

SEEK YE THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD? 6 HE IS NOT HERE, BUT IS AND CERTAIN OF THEM WHICH WERE WITH US WENT TO THE
RISEN: REMEMBER HOW HE SPAKE UNTO YOU WHEN HE WAS YET SEPULCHRE, AND FOUND IT EVEN SO AS THE WOMEN HAD SAID: BUT

THE HANDS OF SINFUL MEN, AND BE CRUCIFIED, AND THE THIRD SLOW OF HEART TO BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN:
DAY RISE AGAIN. 8 AND THEY REMEMBERED HIS WORDS, 9 AND 26 OUGHT NOT CHRIST TO HAVE SUFFERED THESE THINGS, AND TO
RETURNED FROM THE SEPULCHRE, AND TOLD ALL THESE THINGS ENTER INTO HIS GLORY? 27 AND BEGINNING AT MOSES AND ALL THE

HIMSELF DREW NEAR, AND WENT WITH THEM. 16 BUT THEIR EYES RETURNED TO JERUSALEM, AND FOUND THE ELEVEN GATHERED
WERE HOLDEN THAT THEY SHOULD NOT KNOW HIM. 17 AND HE TOGETHER, AND THEM THAT WERE WITH THEM, 34 SAYING, THE
SAID UNTO THEM, WHAT MANNER OF COMMUNICATIONS ARE THESE LORD IS RISEN INDEED, AND HATH APPEARED TO SIMON. 35 AND
THAT YE HAVE ONE TO ANOTHER, AS YE WALK, AND ARE SAD? 18 THEY TOLD WHAT THINGS WERE DONE IN THE WAY, AND HOW HE
AND THE ONE OF THEM, WHOSE NAME WAS CLEOPAS, ANSWERING WAS KNOWN OF THEM IN BREAKING OF BREAD. 36 AND AS THEY
SAID UNTO HIM, ART THOU ONLY A STRANGER IN JERUSALEM, AND THUS SPAKE, JESUS HIMSELF STOOD IN THE MIDST OF THEM, AND
HAST NOT KNOWN THE THINGS WHICH ARE COME TO PASS THERE SAITH UNTO THEM, PEACE BE UNTO YOU. 37 BUT THEY WERE

1315
 LUKE
TERRIFIED AND AFFRIGHTED, AND SUPPOSED THAT THEY HAD SEEN
A SPIRIT. 38 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHY ARE YE TROUBLED? AND
WHY DO THOUGHTS ARISE IN YOUR HEARTS? 39 BEHOLD MY HANDS
AND MY FEET, THAT IT IS I MYSELF: HANDLE ME, AND SEE; FOR A
SPIRIT HATH NOT FLESH AND BONES, AS YE SEE ME HAVE. 40 AND
WHEN HE HAD THUS SPOKEN, HE SHEWED THEM HIS HANDS AND
HIS FEET. 41 AND WHILE THEY YET BELIEVED NOT FOR JOY, AND
WONDERED, HE SAID UNTO THEM, HAVE YE HERE ANY MEAT? 42
AND THEY GAVE HIM A PIECE OF A BROILED FISH, AND OF AN
HONEYCOMB. 43 AND HE TOOK IT, AND DID EAT BEFORE THEM. 44
AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH I SPAKE
UNTO YOU, WHILE I WAS YET WITH YOU, THAT ALL THINGS MUST BE
FULFILLED, WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES, AND IN
THE PROPHETS, AND IN THE PSALMS, CONCERNING ME. 45 THEN
OPENED HE THEIR UNDERSTANDING, THAT THEY MIGHT
UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES, 46 AND SAID UNTO THEM, THUS IT
IS WRITTEN, AND THUS IT BEHOVED CHRIST TO SUFFER, AND TO RISE
FROM THE DEAD THE THIRD DAY: 47 AND THAT REPENTANCE AND
REMISSION OF SINS SHOULD BE PREACHED IN HIS NAME AMONG
ALL NATIONS, BEGINNING AT JERUSALEM. 48 AND YE ARE
WITNESSES OF THESE THINGS. 49 AND, BEHOLD, I SEND THE
PROMISE OF MY FATHER UPON YOU: BUT TARRY YE IN THE CITY OF
JERUSALEM, UNTIL YE BE ENDUED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH. 50
AND HE LED THEM OUT AS FAR AS TO BETHANY, AND HE LIFTED UP
HIS HANDS, AND BLESSED THEM. 51 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHILE
HE BLESSED THEM, HE WAS PARTED FROM THEM, AND CARRIED UP
INTO HEAVEN. 52 AND THEY WORSHIPPED HIM, AND RETURNED TO
JERUSALEM WITH GREAT JOY: 53 AND WERE CONTINUALLY IN THE
TEMPLE, PRAISING AND BLESSING GOD. AMEN.

VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, MAKE STRAIGHT THE
CHAPTER 1 WAY OF THE LORD, AS SAID THE PROPHET ESAIAS. 24 AND THEY
WHICH WERE SENT WERE OF THE PHARISEES. 25 AND THEY ASKED
IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, HIM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHY BAPTIZEST THOU THEN, IF THOU BE
AND THE WORD WAS GOD. 2 THE SAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING NOT THAT CHRIST, NOR ELIAS, NEITHER THAT PROPHET? 26 JOHN
WITH GOD. 3 ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM; AND WITHOUT HIM ANSWERED THEM, SAYING, I BAPTIZE WITH WATER: BUT THERE
WAS NOT ANY THING MADE THAT WAS MADE. 4 IN HIM WAS LIFE; STANDETH ONE AMONG YOU, WHOM YE KNOW NOT; 27 HE IT IS,
AND THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN. 5 AND THE LIGHT SHINETH WHO COMING AFTER ME IS PREFERRED BEFORE ME, WHOSE SHOE’S
IN DARKNESS; AND THE DARKNESS COMPREHENDED IT NOT. 6 LATCHET I AM NOT WORTHY TO UNLOOSE. 28 THESE THINGS WERE
THERE WAS A MAN SENT FROM GOD, WHOSE NAME WAS JOHN. 7 DONE IN BETHABARA BEYOND JORDAN, WHERE JOHN WAS
THE SAME CAME FOR A WITNESS, TO BEAR WITNESS OF THE LIGHT, BAPTIZING. 29 THE NEXT DAY JOHN SEETH JESUS COMING UNTO
THAT ALL MEN THROUGH HIM MIGHT BELIEVE. 8 HE WAS NOT THAT HIM, AND SAITH, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY
LIGHT, BUT WAS SENT TO BEAR WITNESS OF THAT LIGHT. 9 THAT THE SIN OF THE WORLD. 30 THIS IS HE OF WHOM I SAID, AFTER ME
WAS THE TRUE LIGHT, WHICH LIGHTETH EVERY MAN THAT COMETH COMETH A MAN WHICH IS PREFERRED BEFORE ME: FOR HE WAS
INTO THE WORLD. 10 HE WAS IN THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD WAS BEFORE ME. 31 AND I KNEW HIM NOT: BUT THAT HE SHOULD BE
MADE BY HIM, AND THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. 11 HE CAME UNTO MADE MANIFEST TO ISRAEL, THEREFORE AM I COME BAPTIZING
HIS OWN, AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT. 12 BUT AS MANY AS WITH WATER. 32 AND JOHN BARE RECORD, SAYING, I SAW THE
RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF SPIRIT DESCENDING FROM HEAVEN LIKE A DOVE, AND IT ABODE
GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME: 13 WHICH WERE UPON HIM. 33 AND I KNEW HIM NOT: BUT HE THAT SENT ME TO
BORN, NOT OF BLOOD, NOR OF THE WILL OF THE FLESH, NOR OF BAPTIZE WITH WATER, THE SAME SAID UNTO ME, UPON WHOM
THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD. 14 AND THE WORD WAS MADE THOU SHALT SEE THE SPIRIT DESCENDING, AND REMAINING ON HIM,
FLESH, AND DWELT AMONG US, (AND WE BEHELD HIS GLORY, THE THE SAME IS HE WHICH BAPTIZETH WITH THE HOLY GHOST. 34 AND
GLORY AS OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER,) FULL OF GRACE I SAW, AND BARE RECORD THAT THIS IS THE SON OF GOD. 35 AGAIN
AND TRUTH. 15 JOHN BARE WITNESS OF HIM, AND CRIED, SAYING, THE NEXT DAY AFTER JOHN STOOD, AND TWO OF HIS DISCIPLES; 36
THIS WAS HE OF WHOM I SPAKE, HE THAT COMETH AFTER ME IS AND LOOKING UPON JESUS AS HE WALKED, HE SAITH, BEHOLD THE
PREFERRED BEFORE ME: FOR HE WAS BEFORE ME. 16 AND OF HIS LAMB OF GOD! 37 AND THE TWO DISCIPLES HEARD HIM SPEAK, AND
FULNESS HAVE ALL WE RECEIVED, AND GRACE FOR GRACE. 17 FOR THEY FOLLOWED JESUS. 38 THEN JESUS TURNED, AND SAW THEM
THE LAW WAS GIVEN BY MOSES, BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME BY FOLLOWING, AND SAITH UNTO THEM, WHAT SEEK YE? THEY SAID
JESUS CHRIST. 18 NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; THE ONLY UNTO HIM, RABBI, (WHICH IS TO SAY, BEING INTERPRETED,
BEGOTTEN SON, WHICH IS IN THE BOSOM OF THE FATHER, HE HATH MASTER,) WHERE DWELLEST THOU? 39 HE SAITH UNTO THEM,
DECLARED HIM. 19 AND THIS IS THE RECORD OF JOHN, WHEN THE COME AND SEE. THEY CAME AND SAW WHERE HE DWELT, AND
JEWS SENT PRIESTS AND LEVITES FROM JERUSALEM TO ASK HIM, ABODE WITH HIM THAT DAY: FOR IT WAS ABOUT THE TENTH HOUR.
WHO ART THOU? 20 AND HE CONFESSED, AND DENIED NOT; BUT 40 ONE OF THE TWO WHICH HEARD JOHN SPEAK, AND FOLLOWED
CONFESSED, I AM NOT THE CHRIST. 21 AND THEY ASKED HIM, WHAT HIM, WAS ANDREW, SIMON PETER’S BROTHER. 41 HE FIRST FINDETH
THEN? ART THOU ELIAS? AND HE SAITH, I AM NOT. ART THOU THAT HIS OWN BROTHER SIMON, AND SAITH UNTO HIM, WE HAVE FOUND
PROPHET? AND HE ANSWERED, NO. 22 THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, THE MESSIAS, WHICH IS, BEING INTERPRETED, THE CHRIST. 42 AND
WHO ART THOU? THAT WE MAY GIVE AN ANSWER TO THEM THAT HE BROUGHT HIM TO JESUS. AND WHEN JESUS BEHELD HIM, HE
SENT US. WHAT SAYEST THOU OF THYSELF? 23 HE SAID, I AM THE SAID, THOU ART SIMON THE SON OF JONA: THOU SHALT BE CALLED

CEPHAS, WHICH IS BY INTERPRETATION, A STONE. 43 THE DAY
FOLLOWING JESUS WOULD GO FORTH INTO GALILEE, AND FINDETH
PHILIP, AND SAITH UNTO HIM, FOLLOW ME. 44 NOW PHILIP WAS OF
BETHSAIDA, THE CITY OF ANDREW AND PETER. 45 PHILIP FINDETH
NATHANAEL, AND SAITH UNTO HIM, WE HAVE FOUND HIM, OF
WHOM MOSES IN THE LAW, AND THE PROPHETS, DID WRITE, JESUS
OF NAZARETH, THE SON OF JOSEPH. 46 AND NATHANAEL SAID UNTO
HIM, CAN THERE ANY GOOD THING COME OUT OF NAZARETH?
PHILIP SAITH UNTO HIM, COME AND SEE. 47 JESUS SAW NATHANAEL
COMING TO HIM, AND SAITH OF HIM, BEHOLD AN ISRAELITE INDEED,
IN WHOM IS NO GUILE! 48 NATHANAEL SAITH UNTO HIM, WHENCE
KNOWEST THOU ME? JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM,
BEFORE THAT PHILIP CALLED THEE, WHEN THOU WAST UNDER THE
FIG TREE, I SAW THEE. 49 NATHANAEL ANSWERED AND SAITH UNTO
HIM, RABBI, THOU ART THE SON OF GOD; THOU ART THE KING OF
ISRAEL. 50 JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, BECAUSE I SAID
UNTO THEE, I SAW THEE UNDER THE FIG TREE, BELIEVEST THOU?
THOU SHALT SEE GREATER THINGS THAN THESE. 51 AND HE SAITH
UNTO HIM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, HEREAFTER YE SHALL
SEE HEAVEN OPEN, AND THE ANGELS OF GOD ASCENDING AND

AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHAT SIGN SHEWEST THOU UNTO US, SEEING
CHAPTER 2 THAT THOU DOEST THESE THINGS? 19 JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID
UNTO THEM, DESTROY THIS TEMPLE, AND IN THREE DAYS I WILL
AND THE THIRD DAY THERE WAS A MARRIAGE IN CANA OF GALILEE; RAISE IT UP. 20 THEN SAID THE JEWS, FORTY AND SIX YEARS WAS
AND THE MOTHER OF JESUS WAS THERE: 2 AND BOTH JESUS WAS THIS TEMPLE IN BUILDING, AND WILT THOU REAR IT UP IN THREE
CALLED, AND HIS DISCIPLES, TO THE MARRIAGE. 3 AND WHEN THEY DAYS? 21 BUT HE SPAKE OF THE TEMPLE OF HIS BODY. 22 WHEN
WANTED WINE, THE MOTHER OF JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, THEY THEREFORE HE WAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD, HIS DISCIPLES
HAVE NO WINE. 4 JESUS SAITH UNTO HER, WOMAN, WHAT HAVE I REMEMBERED THAT HE HAD SAID THIS UNTO THEM; AND THEY
TO DO WITH THEE? MINE HOUR IS NOT YET COME. 5 HIS MOTHER BELIEVED THE SCRIPTURE, AND THE WORD WHICH JESUS HAD SAID.
SAITH UNTO THE SERVANTS, WHATSOEVER HE SAITH UNTO YOU, DO 23 NOW WHEN HE WAS IN JERUSALEM AT THE PASSOVER, IN THE
IT. 6 AND THERE WERE SET THERE SIX WATERPOTS OF STONE, AFTER FEAST DAY, MANY BELIEVED IN HIS NAME, WHEN THEY SAW THE
THE MANNER OF THE PURIFYING OF THE JEWS, CONTAINING TWO MIRACLES WHICH HE DID. 24 BUT JESUS DID NOT COMMIT HIMSELF
OR THREE FIRKINS APIECE. 7 JESUS SAITH UNTO THEM, FILL THE UNTO THEM, BECAUSE HE KNEW ALL MEN, 25 AND NEEDED NOT
WATERPOTS WITH WATER. AND THEY FILLED THEM UP TO THE BRIM. THAT ANY SHOULD TESTIFY OF MAN: FOR HE KNEW WHAT WAS IN
8 AND HE SAITH UNTO THEM, DRAW OUT NOW, AND BEAR UNTO MAN.
THE GOVERNOR OF THE FEAST. AND THEY BARE IT. 9 WHEN THE
RULER OF THE FEAST HAD TASTED THE WATER THAT WAS MADE
WINE, AND KNEW NOT WHENCE IT WAS: (BUT THE SERVANTS
WHICH DREW THE WATER KNEW;) THE GOVERNOR OF THE FEAST
CALLED THE BRIDEGROOM, 10 AND SAITH UNTO HIM, EVERY MAN
AT THE BEGINNING DOTH SET FORTH GOOD WINE; AND WHEN MEN
HAVE WELL DRUNK, THEN THAT WHICH IS WORSE: BUT THOU HAST
KEPT THE GOOD WINE UNTIL NOW. 11 THIS BEGINNING OF
MIRACLES DID JESUS IN CANA OF GALILEE, AND MANIFESTED FORTH
HIS GLORY; AND HIS DISCIPLES BELIEVED ON HIM. 12 AFTER THIS
HE WENT DOWN TO CAPERNAUM, HE, AND HIS MOTHER, AND HIS
BRETHREN, AND HIS DISCIPLES: AND THEY CONTINUED THERE NOT
MANY DAYS. 13 AND THE JEWS’ PASSOVER WAS AT HAND, AND
JESUS WENT UP TO JERUSALEM, 14 AND FOUND IN THE TEMPLE
THOSE THAT SOLD OXEN AND SHEEP AND DOVES, AND THE
CHANGERS OF MONEY SITTING: 15 AND WHEN HE HAD MADE A
SCOURGE OF SMALL CORDS, HE DROVE THEM ALL OUT OF THE
TEMPLE, AND THE SHEEP, AND THE OXEN; AND POURED OUT THE
CHANGERS’ MONEY, AND OVERTHREW THE TABLES; 16 AND SAID
UNTO THEM THAT SOLD DOVES, TAKE THESE THINGS HENCE; MAKE
NOT MY FATHER’S HOUSE AN HOUSE OF MERCHANDISE. 17 AND HIS
DISCIPLES REMEMBERED THAT IT WAS WRITTEN, THE ZEAL OF
THINE HOUSE HATH EATEN ME UP. 18 THEN ANSWERED THE JEWS

1320
 JOHN
CONDEMNED: BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED
CHAPTER 3 ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE
ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. 19 AND THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION,
THERE WAS A MAN OF THE PHARISEES, NAMED NICODEMUS, A THAT LIGHT IS COME INTO THE WORLD, AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS
RULER OF THE JEWS: 2 THE SAME CAME TO JESUS BY NIGHT, AND RATHER THAN LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL. 20 FOR
SAID UNTO HIM, RABBI, WE KNOW THAT THOU ART A TEACHER EVERY ONE THAT DOETH EVIL HATETH THE LIGHT, NEITHER COMETH
COME FROM GOD: FOR NO MAN CAN DO THESE MIRACLES THAT TO THE LIGHT, LEST HIS DEEDS SHOULD BE REPROVED. 21 BUT HE
THOU DOEST, EXCEPT GOD BE WITH HIM. 3 JESUS ANSWERED AND THAT DOETH TRUTH COMETH TO THE LIGHT, THAT HIS DEEDS MAY
SAID UNTO HIM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE MADE MANIFEST, THAT THEY ARE WROUGHT IN GOD. 22 AFTER
BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 4 THESE THINGS CAME JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES INTO THE LAND OF
NICODEMUS SAITH UNTO HIM, HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN WHEN HE JUDÆA; AND THERE HE TARRIED WITH THEM, AND BAPTIZED. 23
IS OLD? CAN HE ENTER THE SECOND TIME INTO HIS MOTHER’S AND JOHN ALSO WAS BAPTIZING IN ÆNON NEAR TO SALIM,
WOMB, AND BE BORN? 5 JESUS ANSWERED, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY BECAUSE THERE WAS MUCH WATER THERE: AND THEY CAME, AND
UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, WERE BAPTIZED. 24 FOR JOHN WAS NOT YET CAST INTO PRISON. 25
HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 6 THAT WHICH IS THEN THERE AROSE A QUESTION BETWEEN SOME OF JOHN’S
BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE DISCIPLES AND THE JEWS ABOUT PURIFYING. 26 AND THEY CAME
SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. 7 MARVEL NOT THAT I SAID UNTO THEE, YE MUST UNTO JOHN, AND SAID UNTO HIM, RABBI, HE THAT WAS WITH THEE
BE BORN AGAIN. 8 THE WIND BLOWETH WHERE IT LISTETH, AND BEYOND JORDAN, TO WHOM THOU BAREST WITNESS, BEHOLD, THE
THOU HEAREST THE SOUND THEREOF, BUT CANST NOT TELL SAME BAPTIZETH, AND ALL MEN COME TO HIM. 27 JOHN ANSWERED
WHENCE IT COMETH, AND WHITHER IT GOETH: SO IS EVERY ONE AND SAID, A MAN CAN RECEIVE NOTHING, EXCEPT IT BE GIVEN HIM
THAT IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT. 9 NICODEMUS ANSWERED AND SAID FROM HEAVEN. 28 YE YOURSELVES BEAR ME WITNESS, THAT I SAID,
UNTO HIM, HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE? 10 JESUS ANSWERED AND I AM NOT THE CHRIST, BUT THAT I AM SENT BEFORE HIM. 29 HE
SAID UNTO HIM, ART THOU A MASTER OF ISRAEL, AND KNOWEST THAT HATH THE BRIDE IS THE BRIDEGROOM: BUT THE FRIEND OF
NOT THESE THINGS? 11 VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, WE SPEAK THE BRIDEGROOM, WHICH STANDETH AND HEARETH HIM,
THAT WE DO KNOW, AND TESTIFY THAT WE HAVE SEEN; AND YE REJOICETH GREATLY BECAUSE OF THE BRIDEGROOM’S VOICE: THIS
RECEIVE NOT OUR WITNESS. 12 IF I HAVE TOLD YOU EARTHLY MY JOY THEREFORE IS FULFILLED. 30 HE MUST INCREASE, BUT I
THINGS, AND YE BELIEVE NOT, HOW SHALL YE BELIEVE, IF I TELL MUST DECREASE. 31 HE THAT COMETH FROM ABOVE IS ABOVE ALL:
YOU OF HEAVENLY THINGS? 13 AND NO MAN HATH ASCENDED UP HE THAT IS OF THE EARTH IS EARTHLY, AND SPEAKETH OF THE
TO HEAVEN, BUT HE THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, EVEN THE EARTH: HE THAT COMETH FROM HEAVEN IS ABOVE ALL. 32 AND
SON OF MAN WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. 14 AND AS MOSES LIFTED UP WHAT HE HATH SEEN AND HEARD, THAT HE TESTIFIETH; AND NO
THE SERPENT IN THE WILDERNESS, EVEN SO MUST THE SON OF MAN MAN RECEIVETH HIS TESTIMONY. 33 HE THAT HATH RECEIVED HIS
BE LIFTED UP: 15 THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD TESTIMONY HATH SET TO HIS SEAL THAT GOD IS TRUE. 34 FOR HE
NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. 16 FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WHOM GOD HATH SENT SPEAKETH THE WORDS OF GOD: FOR GOD
WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT GIVETH NOT THE SPIRIT BY MEASURE UNTO HIM. 35 THE FATHER
WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE LOVETH THE SON, AND HATH GIVEN ALL THINGS INTO HIS HAND. 36
EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE: AND HE
TO CONDEMN THE WORLD; BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM THAT BELIEVETH NOT THE SON SHALL NOT SEE LIFE; BUT THE
MIGHT BE SAVED. 18 HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT WRATH OF GOD ABIDETH ON HIM.

WOMAN SAITH UNTO HIM, SIR, I PERCEIVE THAT THOU ART A
CHAPTER 4 PROPHET. 20 OUR FATHERS WORSHIPPED IN THIS MOUNTAIN; AND
YE SAY, THAT IN JERUSALEM IS THE PLACE WHERE MEN OUGHT TO
WHEN THEREFORE THE LORD KNEW HOW THE PHARISEES HAD WORSHIP. 21 JESUS SAITH UNTO HER, WOMAN, BELIEVE ME, THE
HEARD THAT JESUS MADE AND BAPTIZED MORE DISCIPLES THAN HOUR COMETH, WHEN YE SHALL NEITHER IN THIS MOUNTAIN, NOR
JOHN, 2 (THOUGH JESUS HIMSELF BAPTIZED NOT, BUT HIS YET AT JERUSALEM, WORSHIP THE FATHER. 22 YE WORSHIP YE
DISCIPLES,) 3 HE LEFT JUDÆA, AND DEPARTED AGAIN INTO GALILEE. KNOW NOT WHAT: WE KNOW WHAT WE WORSHIP: FOR SALVATION
4 AND HE MUST NEEDS GO THROUGH SAMARIA. 5 THEN COMETH HE IS OF THE JEWS. 23 BUT THE HOUR COMETH, AND NOW IS, WHEN
TO A CITY OF SAMARIA, WHICH IS CALLED SYCHAR, NEAR TO THE THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS SHALL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT
PARCEL OF GROUND THAT JACOB GAVE TO HIS SON JOSEPH. 6 NOW AND IN TRUTH: FOR THE FATHER SEEKETH SUCH TO WORSHIP HIM.
JACOB’S WELL WAS THERE. JESUS THEREFORE, BEING WEARIED 24 GOD IS A SPIRIT: AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP
WITH HIS JOURNEY, SAT THUS ON THE WELL: AND IT WAS ABOUT HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. 25 THE WOMAN SAITH UNTO HIM, I
THE SIXTH HOUR. 7 THERE COMETH A WOMAN OF SAMARIA TO KNOW THAT MESSIAS COMETH, WHICH IS CALLED CHRIST: WHEN
DRAW WATER: JESUS SAITH UNTO HER, GIVE ME TO DRINK. 8 (FOR HE IS COME, HE WILL TELL US ALL THINGS. 26 JESUS SAITH UNTO
HIS DISCIPLES WERE GONE AWAY UNTO THE CITY TO BUY MEAT.) 9 HER, I THAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE. 27 AND UPON THIS CAME
THEN SAITH THE WOMAN OF SAMARIA UNTO HIM, HOW IS IT THAT HIS DISCIPLES, AND MARVELLED THAT HE TALKED WITH THE
THOU, BEING A JEW, ASKEST DRINK OF ME, WHICH AM A WOMAN WOMAN: YET NO MAN SAID, WHAT SEEKEST THOU? OR, WHY
OF SAMARIA? FOR THE JEWS HAVE NO DEALINGS WITH THE TALKEST THOU WITH HER? 28 THE WOMAN THEN LEFT HER
SAMARITANS. 10 JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HER, IF THOU WATERPOT, AND WENT HER WAY INTO THE CITY, AND SAITH TO THE
KNEWEST THE GIFT OF GOD, AND WHO IT IS THAT SAITH TO THEE, MEN, 29 COME, SEE A MAN, WHICH TOLD ME ALL THINGS THAT EVER
GIVE ME TO DRINK; THOU WOULDEST HAVE ASKED OF HIM, AND HE I DID: IS NOT THIS THE CHRIST? 30 THEN THEY WENT OUT OF THE
WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEE LIVING WATER. 11 THE WOMAN SAITH CITY, AND CAME UNTO HIM. 31 IN THE MEAN WHILE HIS DISCIPLES
UNTO HIM, SIR, THOU HAST NOTHING TO DRAW WITH, AND THE PRAYED HIM, SAYING, MASTER, EAT. 32 BUT HE SAID UNTO THEM, I
WELL IS DEEP: FROM WHENCE THEN HAST THOU THAT LIVING HAVE MEAT TO EAT THAT YE KNOW NOT OF. 33 THEREFORE SAID THE
WATER? 12 ART THOU GREATER THAN OUR FATHER JACOB, WHICH DISCIPLES ONE TO ANOTHER, HATH ANY MAN BROUGHT HIM OUGHT
GAVE US THE WELL, AND DRANK THEREOF HIMSELF, AND HIS TO EAT? 34 JESUS SAITH UNTO THEM, MY MEAT IS TO DO THE WILL
CHILDREN, AND HIS CATTLE? 13 JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO OF HIM THAT SENT ME, AND TO FINISH HIS WORK. 35 SAY NOT YE,
HER, WHOSOEVER DRINKETH OF THIS WATER SHALL THIRST AGAIN: THERE ARE YET FOUR MONTHS, AND THEN COMETH HARVEST?
14 BUT WHOSOEVER DRINKETH OF THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE BEHOLD, I SAY UNTO YOU, LIFT UP YOUR EYES, AND LOOK ON THE
HIM SHALL NEVER THIRST; BUT THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM FIELDS; FOR THEY ARE WHITE ALREADY TO HARVEST. 36 AND HE
SHALL BE IN HIM A WELL OF WATER SPRINGING UP INTO THAT REAPETH RECEIVETH WAGES, AND GATHERETH FRUIT UNTO
EVERLASTING LIFE. 15 THE WOMAN SAITH UNTO HIM, SIR, GIVE ME LIFE ETERNAL: THAT BOTH HE THAT SOWETH AND HE THAT REAPETH
THIS WATER, THAT I THIRST NOT, NEITHER COME HITHER TO DRAW. MAY REJOICE TOGETHER. 37 AND HEREIN IS THAT SAYING TRUE, ONE
16 JESUS SAITH UNTO HER, GO, CALL THY HUSBAND, AND COME SOWETH, AND ANOTHER REAPETH. 38 I SENT YOU TO REAP THAT
HITHER. 17 THE WOMAN ANSWERED AND SAID, I HAVE NO HUSBAND. WHEREON YE BESTOWED NO LABOUR: OTHER MEN LABOURED, AND
JESUS SAID UNTO HER, THOU HAST WELL SAID, I HAVE NO HUSBAND: YE ARE ENTERED INTO THEIR LABOURS. 39 AND MANY OF THE
18 FOR THOU HAST HAD FIVE HUSBANDS; AND HE WHOM THOU NOW SAMARITANS OF THAT CITY BELIEVED ON HIM FOR THE SAYING OF
HAST IS NOT THY HUSBAND: IN THAT SAIDST THOU TRULY. 19 THE THE WOMAN, WHICH TESTIFIED, HE TOLD ME ALL THAT EVER I DID.

 JOHN
40 SO WHEN THE SAMARITANS WERE COME UNTO HIM, THEY
BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE WOULD TARRY WITH THEM: AND HE ABODE
THERE TWO DAYS. 41 AND MANY MORE BELIEVED BECAUSE OF HIS
OWN WORD; 42 AND SAID UNTO THE WOMAN, NOW WE BELIEVE,
NOT BECAUSE OF THY SAYING: FOR WE HAVE HEARD HIM
OURSELVES, AND KNOW THAT THIS IS INDEED THE CHRIST, THE
SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD. 43 NOW AFTER TWO DAYS HE DEPARTED
THENCE, AND WENT INTO GALILEE. 44 FOR JESUS HIMSELF
TESTIFIED, THAT A PROPHET HATH NO HONOUR IN HIS OWN
COUNTRY. 45 THEN WHEN HE WAS COME INTO GALILEE, THE
GALILÆANS RECEIVED HIM, HAVING SEEN ALL THE THINGS THAT HE
DID AT JERUSALEM AT THE FEAST: FOR THEY ALSO WENT UNTO THE
FEAST. 46 SO JESUS CAME AGAIN INTO CANA OF GALILEE, WHERE HE
MADE THE WATER WINE. AND THERE WAS A CERTAIN NOBLEMAN,
WHOSE SON WAS SICK AT CAPERNAUM. 47 WHEN HE HEARD THAT
JESUS WAS COME OUT OF JUDÆA INTO GALILEE, HE WENT UNTO
HIM, AND BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE WOULD COME DOWN, AND HEAL
HIS SON: FOR HE WAS AT THE POINT OF DEATH. 48 THEN SAID JESUS
UNTO HIM, EXCEPT YE SEE SIGNS AND WONDERS, YE WILL NOT
BELIEVE. 49 THE NOBLEMAN SAITH UNTO HIM, SIR, COME DOWN
ERE MY CHILD DIE. 50 JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, GO THY WAY; THY
SON LIVETH. AND THE MAN BELIEVED THE WORD THAT JESUS HAD
SPOKEN UNTO HIM, AND HE WENT HIS WAY. 51 AND AS HE WAS
NOW GOING DOWN, HIS SERVANTS MET HIM, AND TOLD HIM,
SAYING, THY SON LIVETH. 52 THEN INQUIRED HE OF THEM THE
HOUR WHEN HE BEGAN TO AMEND. AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM,
YESTERDAY AT THE SEVENTH HOUR THE FEVER LEFT HIM. 53 SO THE
FATHER KNEW THAT IT WAS AT THE SAME HOUR, IN THE WHICH
JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, THY SON LIVETH: AND HIMSELF BELIEVED,
AND HIS WHOLE HOUSE. 54 THIS IS AGAIN THE SECOND MIRACLE
THAT JESUS DID, WHEN HE WAS COME OUT OF JUDÆA INTO GALILEE.

SABBATH, BUT SAID ALSO THAT GOD WAS HIS FATHER, MAKING
CHAPTER 5 HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD. 19 THEN ANSWERED JESUS AND SAID
UNTO THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, THE SON CAN DO
AFTER THIS THERE WAS A FEAST OF THE JEWS; AND JESUS WENT UP NOTHING OF HIMSELF, BUT WHAT HE SEETH THE FATHER DO: FOR
TO JERUSALEM. 2 NOW THERE IS AT JERUSALEM BY THE SHEEP WHAT THINGS SOEVER HE DOETH, THESE ALSO DOETH THE SON
MARKET A POOL, WHICH IS CALLED IN THE HEBREW TONGUE LIKEWISE. 20 FOR THE FATHER LOVETH THE SON, AND SHEWETH
BETHESDA, HAVING FIVE PORCHES. 3 IN THESE LAY A GREAT HIM ALL THINGS THAT HIMSELF DOETH: AND HE WILL SHEW HIM
MULTITUDE OF IMPOTENT FOLK, OF BLIND, HALT, WITHERED, GREATER WORKS THAN THESE, THAT YE MAY MARVEL. 21 FOR AS
WAITING FOR THE MOVING OF THE WATER. 4 FOR AN ANGEL WENT THE FATHER RAISETH UP THE DEAD, AND QUICKENETH THEM; EVEN
DOWN AT A CERTAIN SEASON INTO THE POOL, AND TROUBLED THE SO THE SON QUICKENETH WHOM HE WILL. 22 FOR THE FATHER
WATER: WHOSOEVER THEN FIRST AFTER THE TROUBLING OF THE JUDGETH NO MAN, BUT HATH COMMITTED ALL JUDGMENT UNTO
WATER STEPPED IN WAS MADE WHOLE OF WHATSOEVER DISEASE THE SON: 23 THAT ALL MEN SHOULD HONOUR THE SON, EVEN AS
HE HAD. 5 AND A CERTAIN MAN WAS THERE, WHICH HAD AN THEY HONOUR THE FATHER. HE THAT HONOURETH NOT THE SON
INFIRMITY THIRTY AND EIGHT YEARS. 6 WHEN JESUS SAW HIM LIE, HONOURETH NOT THE FATHER WHICH HATH SENT HIM. 24 VERILY,
AND KNEW THAT HE HAD BEEN NOW A LONG TIME IN THAT CASE, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, HE THAT HEARETH MY WORD, AND
HE SAITH UNTO HIM, WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE? 7 THE IMPOTENT BELIEVETH ON HIM THAT SENT ME, HATH EVERLASTING LIFE, AND
MAN ANSWERED HIM, SIR, I HAVE NO MAN, WHEN THE WATER IS SHALL NOT COME INTO CONDEMNATION; BUT IS PASSED FROM
TROUBLED, TO PUT ME INTO THE POOL: BUT WHILE I AM COMING, DEATH UNTO LIFE. 25 VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, THE HOUR
ANOTHER STEPPETH DOWN BEFORE ME. 8 JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, IS COMING, AND NOW IS, WHEN THE DEAD SHALL HEAR THE VOICE
RISE, TAKE UP THY BED, AND WALK. 9 AND IMMEDIATELY THE MAN OF THE SON OF GOD: AND THEY THAT HEAR SHALL LIVE. 26 FOR AS
WAS MADE WHOLE, AND TOOK UP HIS BED, AND WALKED: AND ON THE FATHER HATH LIFE IN HIMSELF; SO HATH HE GIVEN TO THE SON
THE SAME DAY WAS THE SABBATH. 10 THE JEWS THEREFORE SAID TO HAVE LIFE IN HIMSELF; 27 AND HATH GIVEN HIM AUTHORITY TO
UNTO HIM THAT WAS CURED, IT IS THE SABBATH DAY: IT IS NOT EXECUTE JUDGMENT ALSO, BECAUSE HE IS THE SON OF MAN. 28
LAWFUL FOR THEE TO CARRY THY BED. 11 HE ANSWERED THEM, HE MARVEL NOT AT THIS: FOR THE HOUR IS COMING, IN THE WHICH
THAT MADE ME WHOLE, THE SAME SAID UNTO ME, TAKE UP THY ALL THAT ARE IN THE GRAVES SHALL HEAR HIS VOICE, 29 AND SHALL
BED, AND WALK. 12 THEN ASKED THEY HIM, WHAT MAN IS THAT COME FORTH; THEY THAT HAVE DONE GOOD, UNTO THE
WHICH SAID UNTO THEE, TAKE UP THY BED, AND WALK? 13 AND HE RESURRECTION OF LIFE; AND THEY THAT HAVE DONE EVIL, UNTO
THAT WAS HEALED WIST NOT WHO IT WAS: FOR JESUS HAD THE RESURRECTION OF DAMNATION. 30 I CAN OF MINE OWN SELF
CONVEYED HIMSELF AWAY, A MULTITUDE BEING IN THAT PLACE. 14 DO NOTHING: AS I HEAR, I JUDGE: AND MY JUDGMENT IS JUST;
AFTERWARD JESUS FINDETH HIM IN THE TEMPLE, AND SAID UNTO BECAUSE I SEEK NOT MINE OWN WILL, BUT THE WILL OF THE
HIM, BEHOLD, THOU ART MADE WHOLE: SIN NO MORE, LEST A FATHER WHICH HATH SENT ME. 31 IF I BEAR WITNESS OF MYSELF,
WORSE THING COME UNTO THEE. 15 THE MAN DEPARTED, AND TOLD MY WITNESS IS NOT TRUE. 32 THERE IS ANOTHER THAT BEARETH
THE JEWS THAT IT WAS JESUS, WHICH HAD MADE HIM WHOLE. 16 WITNESS OF ME; AND I KNOW THAT THE WITNESS WHICH HE
AND THEREFORE DID THE JEWS PERSECUTE JESUS, AND SOUGHT TO WITNESSETH OF ME IS TRUE. 33 YE SENT UNTO JOHN, AND HE BARE
SLAY HIM, BECAUSE HE HAD DONE THESE THINGS ON THE SABBATH WITNESS UNTO THE TRUTH. 34 BUT I RECEIVE NOT TESTIMONY
DAY. 17 BUT JESUS ANSWERED THEM, MY FATHER WORKETH FROM MAN: BUT THESE THINGS I SAY, THAT YE MIGHT BE SAVED. 35
HITHERTO, AND I WORK. 18 THEREFORE THE JEWS SOUGHT THE HE WAS A BURNING AND A SHINING LIGHT: AND YE WERE WILLING
MORE TO KILL HIM, BECAUSE HE NOT ONLY HAD BROKEN THE FOR A SEASON TO REJOICE IN HIS LIGHT. 36 BUT I HAVE GREATER

1325

WITNESS THAN THAT OF JOHN: FOR THE WORKS WHICH THE FATHER
HATH GIVEN ME TO FINISH, THE SAME WORKS THAT I DO, BEAR
WITNESS OF ME, THAT THE FATHER HATH SENT ME. 37 AND THE
FATHER HIMSELF, WHICH HATH SENT ME, HATH BORNE WITNESS
OF ME. YE HAVE NEITHER HEARD HIS VOICE AT ANY TIME, NOR SEEN
HIS SHAPE. 38 AND YE HAVE NOT HIS WORD ABIDING IN YOU: FOR
WHOM HE HATH SENT, HIM YE BELIEVE NOT. 39 SEARCH THE
SCRIPTURES; FOR IN THEM YE THINK YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE: AND
THEY ARE THEY WHICH TESTIFY OF ME. 40 AND YE WILL NOT COME
TO ME, THAT YE MIGHT HAVE LIFE. 41 I RECEIVE NOT HONOUR FROM
MEN. 42 BUT I KNOW YOU, THAT YE HAVE NOT THE LOVE OF GOD IN
YOU. 43 I AM COME IN MY FATHER’S NAME, AND YE RECEIVE ME
NOT: IF ANOTHER SHALL COME IN HIS OWN NAME, HIM YE WILL
RECEIVE. 44 HOW CAN YE BELIEVE, WHICH RECEIVE HONOUR ONE
OF ANOTHER, AND SEEK NOT THE HONOUR THAT COMETH FROM
GOD ONLY? 45 DO NOT THINK THAT I WILL ACCUSE YOU TO THE
FATHER: THERE IS ONE THAT ACCUSETH YOU, EVEN MOSES, IN
WHOM YE TRUST. 46 FOR HAD YE BELIEVED MOSES, YE WOULD HAVE
BELIEVED ME: FOR HE WROTE OF ME. 47 BUT IF YE BELIEVE NOT HIS
WRITINGS, HOW SHALL YE BELIEVE MY WORDS?

THAT BLEW. 19 SO WHEN THEY HAD ROWED ABOUT FIVE AND
CHAPTER 6 TWENTY OR THIRTY FURLONGS, THEY SEE JESUS WALKING ON THE
SEA, AND DRAWING NIGH UNTO THE SHIP: AND THEY WERE AFRAID.
AFTER THESE THINGS JESUS WENT OVER THE SEA OF GALILEE, 20 BUT HE SAITH UNTO THEM, IT IS I; BE NOT AFRAID. 21 THEN THEY
WHICH IS THE SEA OF TIBERIAS. 2 AND A GREAT MULTITUDE WILLINGLY RECEIVED HIM INTO THE SHIP: AND IMMEDIATELY THE
FOLLOWED HIM, BECAUSE THEY SAW HIS MIRACLES WHICH HE DID SHIP WAS AT THE LAND WHITHER THEY WENT. 22 THE DAY
ON THEM THAT WERE DISEASED. 3 AND JESUS WENT UP INTO A FOLLOWING, WHEN THE PEOPLE WHICH STOOD ON THE OTHER SIDE
MOUNTAIN, AND THERE HE SAT WITH HIS DISCIPLES. 4 AND THE OF THE SEA SAW THAT THERE WAS NONE OTHER BOAT THERE, SAVE
PASSOVER, A FEAST OF THE JEWS, WAS NIGH. 5 WHEN JESUS THEN THAT ONE WHEREINTO HIS DISCIPLES WERE ENTERED, AND THAT
LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND SAW A GREAT COMPANY COME UNTO HIM, JESUS WENT NOT WITH HIS DISCIPLES INTO THE BOAT, BUT THAT
HE SAITH UNTO PHILIP, WHENCE SHALL WE BUY BREAD, THAT HIS DISCIPLES WERE GONE AWAY ALONE; 23 (HOWBEIT THERE CAME
THESE MAY EAT? 6 AND THIS HE SAID TO PROVE HIM: FOR HE OTHER BOATS FROM TIBERIAS NIGH UNTO THE PLACE WHERE THEY
HIMSELF KNEW WHAT HE WOULD DO. 7 PHILIP ANSWERED HIM, DID EAT BREAD, AFTER THAT THE LORD HAD GIVEN THANKS:) 24
TWO HUNDRED PENNYWORTH OF BREAD IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR WHEN THE PEOPLE THEREFORE SAW THAT JESUS WAS NOT THERE,
THEM, THAT EVERY ONE OF THEM MAY TAKE A LITTLE. 8 ONE OF HIS NEITHER HIS DISCIPLES, THEY ALSO TOOK SHIPPING, AND CAME TO
DISCIPLES, ANDREW, SIMON PETER’S BROTHER, SAITH UNTO HIM, 9 CAPERNAUM, SEEKING FOR JESUS. 25 AND WHEN THEY HAD FOUND
THERE IS A LAD HERE, WHICH HATH FIVE BARLEY LOAVES, AND TWO HIM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEA, THEY SAID UNTO HIM, RABBI,
SMALL FISHES: BUT WHAT ARE THEY AMONG SO MANY? 10 AND WHEN CAMEST THOU HITHER? 26 JESUS ANSWERED THEM AND SAID,
JESUS SAID, MAKE THE MEN SIT DOWN. NOW THERE WAS MUCH VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, YE SEEK ME, NOT BECAUSE YE
GRASS IN THE PLACE. SO THE MEN SAT DOWN, IN NUMBER ABOUT SAW THE MIRACLES, BUT BECAUSE YE DID EAT OF THE LOAVES, AND
FIVE THOUSAND. 11 AND JESUS TOOK THE LOAVES; AND WHEN HE WERE FILLED. 27 LABOUR NOT FOR THE MEAT WHICH PERISHETH,
HAD GIVEN THANKS, HE DISTRIBUTED TO THE DISCIPLES, AND THE BUT FOR THAT MEAT WHICH ENDURETH UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE,
DISCIPLES TO THEM THAT WERE SET DOWN; AND LIKEWISE OF THE WHICH THE SON OF MAN SHALL GIVE UNTO YOU: FOR HIM HATH
FISHES AS MUCH AS THEY WOULD. 12 WHEN THEY WERE FILLED, HE GOD THE FATHER SEALED. 28 THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, WHAT
SAID UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, GATHER UP THE FRAGMENTS THAT SHALL WE DO, THAT WE MIGHT WORK THE WORKS OF GOD? 29
REMAIN, THAT NOTHING BE LOST. 13 THEREFORE THEY GATHERED JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD,
THEM TOGETHER, AND FILLED TWELVE BASKETS WITH THE THAT YE BELIEVE ON HIM WHOM HE HATH SENT. 30 THEY SAID
FRAGMENTS OF THE FIVE BARLEY LOAVES, WHICH REMAINED OVER THEREFORE UNTO HIM, WHAT SIGN SHEWEST THOU THEN, THAT WE
AND ABOVE UNTO THEM THAT HAD EATEN. 14 THEN THOSE MEN, MAY SEE, AND BELIEVE THEE? WHAT DOST THOU WORK? 31 OUR
WHEN THEY HAD SEEN THE MIRACLE THAT JESUS DID, SAID, THIS IS FATHERS DID EAT MANNA IN THE DESERT; AS IT IS WRITTEN, HE
OF A TRUTH THAT PROPHET THAT SHOULD COME INTO THE WORLD. GAVE THEM BREAD FROM HEAVEN TO EAT. 32 THEN JESUS SAID
15 WHEN JESUS THEREFORE PERCEIVED THAT THEY WOULD COME UNTO THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, MOSES GAVE YOU
AND TAKE HIM BY FORCE, TO MAKE HIM A KING, HE DEPARTED NOT THAT BREAD FROM HEAVEN; BUT MY FATHER GIVETH YOU THE
AGAIN INTO A MOUNTAIN HIMSELF ALONE. 16 AND WHEN EVEN TRUE BREAD FROM HEAVEN. 33 FOR THE BREAD OF GOD IS HE
WAS NOW COME, HIS DISCIPLES WENT DOWN UNTO THE SEA, 17 WHICH COMETH DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND GIVETH LIFE UNTO THE
AND ENTERED INTO A SHIP, AND WENT OVER THE SEA TOWARD WORLD. 34 THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, LORD, EVERMORE GIVE US
CAPERNAUM. AND IT WAS NOW DARK, AND JESUS WAS NOT COME THIS BREAD. 35 AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, I AM THE BREAD OF
TO THEM. 18 AND THE SEA AROSE BY REASON OF A GREAT WIND LIFE: HE THAT COMETH TO ME SHALL NEVER HUNGER; AND HE THAT

1327
 JOHN
BELIEVETH ON ME SHALL NEVER THIRST. 36 BUT I SAID UNTO YOU, THAT EATETH MY FLESH, AND DRINKETH MY BLOOD, DWELLETH IN
THAT YE ALSO HAVE SEEN ME, AND BELIEVE NOT. 37 ALL THAT THE ME, AND I IN HIM. 57 AS THE LIVING FATHER HATH SENT ME, AND I
FATHER GIVETH ME SHALL COME TO ME; AND HIM THAT COMETH LIVE BY THE FATHER: SO HE THAT EATETH ME, EVEN HE SHALL LIVE
TO ME I WILL IN NO WISE CAST OUT. 38 FOR I CAME DOWN FROM BY ME. 58 THIS IS THAT BREAD WHICH CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN:
HEAVEN, NOT TO DO MINE OWN WILL, BUT THE WILL OF HIM THAT NOT AS YOUR FATHERS DID EAT MANNA, AND ARE DEAD: HE THAT
SENT ME. 39 AND THIS IS THE FATHER’S WILL WHICH HATH SENT EATETH OF THIS BREAD SHALL LIVE FOR EVER. 59 THESE THINGS
ME, THAT OF ALL WHICH HE HATH GIVEN ME I SHOULD LOSE SAID HE IN THE SYNAGOGUE, AS HE TAUGHT IN CAPERNAUM. 60
NOTHING, BUT SHOULD RAISE IT UP AGAIN AT THE LAST DAY. 40 AND MANY THEREFORE OF HIS DISCIPLES, WHEN THEY HAD HEARD THIS,
THIS IS THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME, THAT EVERY ONE WHICH SAID, THIS IS AN HARD SAYING; WHO CAN HEAR IT? 61 WHEN JESUS
SEETH THE SON, AND BELIEVETH ON HIM, MAY HAVE EVERLASTING KNEW IN HIMSELF THAT HIS DISCIPLES MURMURED AT IT, HE SAID
LIFE: AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY. 41 THE JEWS THEN UNTO THEM, DOTH THIS OFFEND YOU? 62 WHAT AND IF YE SHALL
MURMURED AT HIM, BECAUSE HE SAID, I AM THE BREAD WHICH SEE THE SON OF MAN ASCEND UP WHERE HE WAS BEFORE? 63 IT IS
CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN. 42 AND THEY SAID, IS NOT THIS JESUS, THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH; THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING:
THE SON OF JOSEPH, WHOSE FATHER AND MOTHER WE KNOW? THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY
HOW IS IT THEN THAT HE SAITH, I CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN? 43 ARE LIFE. 64 BUT THERE ARE SOME OF YOU THAT BELIEVE NOT. FOR
JESUS THEREFORE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, MURMUR JESUS KNEW FROM THE BEGINNING WHO THEY WERE THAT
NOT AMONG YOURSELVES. 44 NO MAN CAN COME TO ME, EXCEPT BELIEVED NOT, AND WHO SHOULD BETRAY HIM. 65 AND HE SAID,
THE FATHER WHICH HATH SENT ME DRAW HIM: AND I WILL RAISE THEREFORE SAID I UNTO YOU, THAT NO MAN CAN COME UNTO ME,
HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY. 45 IT IS WRITTEN IN THE PROPHETS, AND EXCEPT IT WERE GIVEN UNTO HIM OF MY FATHER. 66 FROM THAT
THEY SHALL BE ALL TAUGHT OF GOD. EVERY MAN THEREFORE THAT TIME MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES WENT BACK, AND WALKED NO MORE
HATH HEARD, AND HATH LEARNED OF THE FATHER, COMETH UNTO WITH HIM. 67 THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THE TWELVE, WILL YE ALSO
ME. 46 NOT THAT ANY MAN HATH SEEN THE FATHER, SAVE HE GO AWAY? 68 THEN SIMON PETER ANSWERED HIM, LORD, TO WHOM
WHICH IS OF GOD, HE HATH SEEN THE FATHER. 47 VERILY, VERILY, SHALL WE GO? THOU HAST THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE. 69 AND
I SAY UNTO YOU, HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME HATH EVERLASTING WE BELIEVE AND ARE SURE THAT THOU ART THAT CHRIST, THE SON
LIFE. 48 I AM THAT BREAD OF LIFE. 49 YOUR FATHERS DID EAT OF THE LIVING GOD. 70 JESUS ANSWERED THEM, HAVE NOT I
MANNA IN THE WILDERNESS, AND ARE DEAD. 50 THIS IS THE BREAD CHOSEN YOU TWELVE, AND ONE OF YOU IS A DEVIL? 71 HE SPAKE
WHICH COMETH DOWN FROM HEAVEN, THAT A MAN MAY EAT OF JUDAS ISCARIOT THE SON OF SIMON: FOR HE IT WAS THAT
THEREOF, AND NOT DIE. 51 I AM THE LIVING BREAD WHICH CAME SHOULD BETRAY HIM, BEING ONE OF THE TWELVE.
DOWN FROM HEAVEN: IF ANY MAN EAT OF THIS BREAD, HE SHALL
LIVE FOR EVER: AND THE BREAD THAT I WILL GIVE IS MY FLESH,
WHICH I WILL GIVE FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD. 52 THE JEWS
THEREFORE STROVE AMONG THEMSELVES, SAYING, HOW CAN THIS
MAN GIVE US HIS FLESH TO EAT? 53 THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM,
VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE
SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU. 54
WHOSO EATETH MY FLESH, AND DRINKETH MY BLOOD, HATH
ETERNAL LIFE; AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY. 55 FOR
MY FLESH IS MEAT INDEED, AND MY BLOOD IS DRINK INDEED. 56 HE

22 MOSES THEREFORE GAVE UNTO YOU CIRCUMCISION; (NOT
CHAPTER 7 BECAUSE IT IS OF MOSES, BUT OF THE FATHERS;) AND YE ON THE
SABBATH DAY CIRCUMCISE A MAN. 23 IF A MAN ON THE SABBATH
AFTER THESE THINGS JESUS WALKED IN GALILEE: FOR HE WOULD DAY RECEIVE CIRCUMCISION, THAT THE LAW OF MOSES SHOULD
NOT WALK IN JEWRY, BECAUSE THE JEWS SOUGHT TO KILL HIM. 2 NOT BE BROKEN; ARE YE ANGRY AT ME, BECAUSE I HAVE MADE A
NOW THE JEWS’ FEAST OF TABERNACLES WAS AT HAND. 3 HIS MAN EVERY WHIT WHOLE ON THE SABBATH DAY? 24 JUDGE NOT
BRETHREN THEREFORE SAID UNTO HIM, DEPART HENCE, AND GO ACCORDING TO THE APPEARANCE, BUT JUDGE RIGHTEOUS
INTO JUDÆA, THAT THY DISCIPLES ALSO MAY SEE THE WORKS THAT JUDGMENT. 25 THEN SAID SOME OF THEM OF JERUSALEM, IS NOT
THOU DOEST. 4 FOR THERE IS NO MAN THAT DOETH ANY THING IN THIS HE, WHOM THEY SEEK TO KILL? 26 BUT, LO, HE SPEAKETH
SECRET, AND HE HIMSELF SEEKETH TO BE KNOWN OPENLY. IF THOU BOLDLY, AND THEY SAY NOTHING UNTO HIM. DO THE RULERS KNOW
DO THESE THINGS, SHEW THYSELF TO THE WORLD. 5 FOR NEITHER INDEED THAT THIS IS THE VERY CHRIST? 27 HOWBEIT WE KNOW
DID HIS BRETHREN BELIEVE IN HIM. 6 THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, THIS MAN WHENCE HE IS: BUT WHEN CHRIST COMETH, NO MAN
MY TIME IS NOT YET COME: BUT YOUR TIME IS ALWAY READY. 7 THE KNOWETH WHENCE HE IS. 28 THEN CRIED JESUS IN THE TEMPLE AS
WORLD CANNOT HATE YOU; BUT ME IT HATETH, BECAUSE I TESTIFY HE TAUGHT, SAYING, YE BOTH KNOW ME, AND YE KNOW WHENCE I
OF IT, THAT THE WORKS THEREOF ARE EVIL. 8 GO YE UP UNTO THIS AM: AND I AM NOT COME OF MYSELF, BUT HE THAT SENT ME IS
FEAST: I GO NOT UP YET UNTO THIS FEAST; FOR MY TIME IS NOT YET TRUE, WHOM YE KNOW NOT. 29 BUT I KNOW HIM: FOR I AM FROM
FULL COME. 9 WHEN HE HAD SAID THESE WORDS UNTO THEM, HE HIM, AND HE HATH SENT ME. 30 THEN THEY SOUGHT TO TAKE HIM:
ABODE STILL IN GALILEE. 10 BUT WHEN HIS BRETHREN WERE GONE BUT NO MAN LAID HANDS ON HIM, BECAUSE HIS HOUR WAS NOT
UP, THEN WENT HE ALSO UP UNTO THE FEAST, NOT OPENLY, BUT YET COME. 31 AND MANY OF THE PEOPLE BELIEVED ON HIM, AND
AS IT WERE IN SECRET. 11 THEN THE JEWS SOUGHT HIM AT THE SAID, WHEN CHRIST COMETH, WILL HE DO MORE MIRACLES THAN
FEAST, AND SAID, WHERE IS HE? 12 AND THERE WAS MUCH THESE WHICH THIS MAN HATH DONE? 32 THE PHARISEES HEARD
MURMURING AMONG THE PEOPLE CONCERNING HIM: FOR SOME THAT THE PEOPLE MURMURED SUCH THINGS CONCERNING HIM;
SAID, HE IS A GOOD MAN: OTHERS SAID, NAY; BUT HE DECEIVETH AND THE PHARISEES AND THE CHIEF PRIESTS SENT OFFICERS TO
THE PEOPLE. 13 HOWBEIT NO MAN SPAKE OPENLY OF HIM FOR FEAR TAKE HIM. 33 THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THEM, YET A LITTLE WHILE
OF THE JEWS. 14 NOW ABOUT THE MIDST OF THE FEAST JESUS WENT AM I WITH YOU, AND THEN I GO UNTO HIM THAT SENT ME. 34 YE
UP INTO THE TEMPLE, AND TAUGHT. 15 AND THE JEWS MARVELLED, SHALL SEEK ME, AND SHALL NOT FIND ME: AND WHERE I AM,
SAYING, HOW KNOWETH THIS MAN LETTERS, HAVING NEVER THITHER YE CANNOT COME. 35 THEN SAID THE JEWS AMONG
LEARNED? 16 JESUS ANSWERED THEM, AND SAID, MY DOCTRINE IS THEMSELVES, WHITHER WILL HE GO, THAT WE SHALL NOT FIND HIM?
NOT MINE, BUT HIS THAT SENT ME. 17 IF ANY MAN WILL DO HIS WILL HE GO UNTO THE DISPERSED AMONG THE GENTILES, AND
WILL, HE SHALL KNOW OF THE DOCTRINE, WHETHER IT BE OF GOD, TEACH THE GENTILES? 36 WHAT MANNER OF SAYING IS THIS THAT
OR WHETHER I SPEAK OF MYSELF. 18 HE THAT SPEAKETH OF HE SAID, YE SHALL SEEK ME, AND SHALL NOT FIND ME: AND WHERE
HIMSELF SEEKETH HIS OWN GLORY: BUT HE THAT SEEKETH HIS I AM, THITHER YE CANNOT COME? 37 IN THE LAST DAY, THAT GREAT
GLORY THAT SENT HIM, THE SAME IS TRUE, AND NO DAY OF THE FEAST, JESUS STOOD AND CRIED, SAYING, IF ANY MAN
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IS IN HIM. 19 DID NOT MOSES GIVE YOU THE THIRST, LET HIM COME UNTO ME, AND DRINK. 38 HE THAT
LAW, AND YET NONE OF YOU KEEPETH THE LAW? WHY GO YE ABOUT BELIEVETH ON ME, AS THE SCRIPTURE HATH SAID, OUT OF HIS BELLY
TO KILL ME? 20 THE PEOPLE ANSWERED AND SAID, THOU HAST A SHALL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER. 39 (BUT THIS SPAKE HE OF
DEVIL: WHO GOETH ABOUT TO KILL THEE? 21 JESUS ANSWERED AND THE SPIRIT, WHICH THEY THAT BELIEVE ON HIM SHOULD RECEIVE:
SAID UNTO THEM, I HAVE DONE ONE WORK, AND YE ALL MARVEL. FOR THE HOLY GHOST WAS NOT YET GIVEN; BECAUSE THAT JESUS

1329
 JOHN
WAS NOT YET GLORIFIED.) 40 MANY OF THE PEOPLE THEREFORE,
WHEN THEY HEARD THIS SAYING, SAID, OF A TRUTH THIS IS THE
PROPHET. 41 OTHERS SAID, THIS IS THE CHRIST. BUT SOME SAID,
SHALL CHRIST COME OUT OF GALILEE? 42 HATH NOT THE SCRIPTURE
SAID, THAT CHRIST COMETH OF THE SEED OF DAVID, AND OUT OF
THE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM, WHERE DAVID WAS? 43 SO THERE WAS
A DIVISION AMONG THE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIM. 44 AND SOME OF
THEM WOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM; BUT NO MAN LAID HANDS ON HIM.
45 THEN CAME THE OFFICERS TO THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND PHARISEES;
AND THEY SAID UNTO THEM, WHY HAVE YE NOT BROUGHT HIM? 46
THE OFFICERS ANSWERED, NEVER MAN SPAKE LIKE THIS MAN. 47
THEN ANSWERED THEM THE PHARISEES, ARE YE ALSO DECEIVED?
48 HAVE ANY OF THE RULERS OR OF THE PHARISEES BELIEVED ON
HIM? 49 BUT THIS PEOPLE WHO KNOWETH NOT THE LAW ARE
CURSED. 50 NICODEMUS SAITH UNTO THEM, (HE THAT CAME TO
JESUS BY NIGHT, BEING ONE OF THEM,) 51 DOTH OUR LAW JUDGE
ANY MAN, BEFORE IT HEAR HIM, AND KNOW WHAT HE DOETH? 52
THEY ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, ART THOU ALSO OF GALILEE?
SEARCH, AND LOOK: FOR OUT OF GALILEE ARISETH NO PROPHET. 53
AND EVERY MAN WENT UNTO HIS OWN HOUSE.

ME. 19 THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, WHERE IS THY FATHER? JESUS
CHAPTER 8 ANSWERED, YE NEITHER KNOW ME, NOR MY FATHER: IF YE HAD
KNOWN ME, YE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN MY FATHER ALSO. 20 THESE
JESUS WENT UNTO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES. 2 AND EARLY IN THE WORDS SPAKE JESUS IN THE TREASURY, AS HE TAUGHT IN THE
MORNING HE CAME AGAIN INTO THE TEMPLE, AND ALL THE PEOPLE TEMPLE: AND NO MAN LAID HANDS ON HIM; FOR HIS HOUR WAS

THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES BROUGHT UNTO HIM A WOMAN TAKEN WAY, AND YE SHALL SEEK ME, AND SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS:
IN ADULTERY; AND WHEN THEY HAD SET HER IN THE MIDST, 4 THEY WHITHER I GO, YE CANNOT COME. 22 THEN SAID THE JEWS, WILL
SAY UNTO HIM, MASTER, THIS WOMAN WAS TAKEN IN ADULTERY, HE KILL HIMSELF? BECAUSE HE SAITH, WHITHER I GO, YE CANNOT
IN THE VERY ACT. 5 NOW MOSES IN THE LAW COMMANDED US, THAT COME. 23 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, YE ARE FROM BENEATH; I AM
SUCH SHOULD BE STONED: BUT WHAT SAYEST THOU? 6 THIS THEY FROM ABOVE: YE ARE OF THIS WORLD; I AM NOT OF THIS WORLD.
SAID, TEMPTING HIM, THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE TO ACCUSE HIM. BUT 24 I SAID THEREFORE UNTO YOU, THAT YE SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS:
JESUS STOOPED DOWN, AND WITH HIS FINGER WROTE ON THE FOR IF YE BELIEVE NOT THAT I AM HE, YE SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS.
GROUND, AS THOUGH HE HEARD THEM NOT. 7 SO WHEN THEY 25 THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, WHO ART THOU? AND JESUS SAITH
CONTINUED ASKING HIM, HE LIFTED UP HIMSELF, AND SAID UNTO UNTO THEM, EVEN THE SAME THAT I SAID UNTO YOU FROM THE
THEM, HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN AMONG YOU, LET HIM FIRST CAST BEGINNING. 26 I HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY AND TO JUDGE OF YOU:
A STONE AT HER. 8 AND AGAIN HE STOOPED DOWN, AND WROTE ON BUT HE THAT SENT ME IS TRUE; AND I SPEAK TO THE WORLD THOSE
THE GROUND. 9 AND THEY WHICH HEARD IT, BEING CONVICTED BY THINGS WHICH I HAVE HEARD OF HIM. 27 THEY UNDERSTOOD NOT
THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE, WENT OUT ONE BY ONE, BEGINNING AT THAT HE SPAKE TO THEM OF THE FATHER. 28 THEN SAID JESUS UNTO
THE ELDEST, EVEN UNTO THE LAST: AND JESUS WAS LEFT ALONE, THEM, WHEN YE HAVE LIFTED UP THE SON OF MAN, THEN SHALL YE
AND THE WOMAN STANDING IN THE MIDST. 10 WHEN JESUS HAD KNOW THAT I AM HE, AND THAT I DO NOTHING OF MYSELF; BUT AS
LIFTED UP HIMSELF, AND SAW NONE BUT THE WOMAN, HE SAID MY FATHER HATH TAUGHT ME, I SPEAK THESE THINGS. 29 AND HE
UNTO HER, WOMAN, WHERE ARE THOSE THINE ACCUSERS? HATH THAT SENT ME IS WITH ME: THE FATHER HATH NOT LEFT ME ALONE;
NO MAN CONDEMNED THEE? 11 SHE SAID, NO MAN, LORD. AND FOR I DO ALWAYS THOSE THINGS THAT PLEASE HIM. 30 AS HE SPAKE
JESUS SAID UNTO HER, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, AND SIN THESE WORDS, MANY BELIEVED ON HIM. 31 THEN SAID JESUS TO
NO MORE. 12 THEN SPAKE JESUS AGAIN UNTO THEM, SAYING, I AM THOSE JEWS WHICH BELIEVED ON HIM, IF YE CONTINUE IN MY
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: HE THAT FOLLOWETH ME SHALL NOT WORD, THEN ARE YE MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 AND YE SHALL KNOW
WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT SHALL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE. 13 THE THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE. 33 THEY
PHARISEES THEREFORE SAID UNTO HIM, THOU BEAREST RECORD OF ANSWERED HIM, WE BE ABRAHAM’S SEED, AND WERE NEVER IN
THYSELF; THY RECORD IS NOT TRUE. 14 JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID BONDAGE TO ANY MAN: HOW SAYEST THOU, YE SHALL BE MADE
UNTO THEM, THOUGH I BEAR RECORD OF MYSELF, YET MY RECORD FREE? 34 JESUS ANSWERED THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU,
IS TRUE: FOR I KNOW WHENCE I CAME, AND WHITHER I GO; BUT YE WHOSOEVER COMMITTETH SIN IS THE SERVANT OF SIN. 35 AND THE
CANNOT TELL WHENCE I COME, AND WHITHER I GO. 15 YE JUDGE SERVANT ABIDETH NOT IN THE HOUSE FOR EVER: BUT THE SON
AFTER THE FLESH; I JUDGE NO MAN. 16 AND YET IF I JUDGE, MY ABIDETH EVER. 36 IF THE SON THEREFORE SHALL MAKE YOU FREE,
JUDGMENT IS TRUE: FOR I AM NOT ALONE, BUT I AND THE FATHER YE SHALL BE FREE INDEED. 37 I KNOW THAT YE ARE ABRAHAM’S
THAT SENT ME. 17 IT IS ALSO WRITTEN IN YOUR LAW, THAT THE SEED; BUT YE SEEK TO KILL ME, BECAUSE MY WORD HATH NO PLACE
TESTIMONY OF TWO MEN IS TRUE. 18 I AM ONE THAT BEAR WITNESS IN YOU. 38 I SPEAK THAT WHICH I HAVE SEEN WITH MY FATHER:
OF MYSELF, AND THE FATHER THAT SENT ME BEARETH WITNESS OF AND YE DO THAT WHICH YE HAVE SEEN WITH YOUR FATHER. 39

1331
 JOHN
THEY ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, ABRAHAM IS OUR FATHER. ABRAHAM? 58 JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO
JESUS SAITH UNTO THEM, IF YE WERE ABRAHAM’S CHILDREN, YE YOU, BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM. 59 THEN TOOK THEY UP STONES
WOULD DO THE WORKS OF ABRAHAM. 40 BUT NOW YE SEEK TO KILL TO CAST AT HIM: BUT JESUS HID HIMSELF, AND WENT OUT OF THE
ME, A MAN THAT HATH TOLD YOU THE TRUTH, WHICH I HAVE HEARD TEMPLE, GOING THROUGH THE MIDST OF THEM, AND SO PASSED BY.
OF GOD: THIS DID NOT ABRAHAM. 41 YE DO THE DEEDS OF YOUR
FATHER. THEN SAID THEY TO HIM, WE BE NOT BORN OF
FORNICATION; WE HAVE ONE FATHER, EVEN GOD. 42 JESUS SAID
UNTO THEM, IF GOD WERE YOUR FATHER, YE WOULD LOVE ME: FOR
I PROCEEDED FORTH AND CAME FROM GOD; NEITHER CAME I OF
MYSELF, BUT HE SENT ME. 43 WHY DO YE NOT UNDERSTAND MY
SPEECH? EVEN BECAUSE YE CANNOT HEAR MY WORD. 44 YE ARE OF
YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, AND THE LUSTS OF YOUR FATHER YE WILL
DO. HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING, AND ABODE NOT
IN THE TRUTH, BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. WHEN HE
SPEAKETH A LIE, HE SPEAKETH OF HIS OWN: FOR HE IS A LIAR, AND
THE FATHER OF IT. 45 AND BECAUSE I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, YE
BELIEVE ME NOT. 46 WHICH OF YOU CONVINCETH ME OF SIN? AND
IF I SAY THE TRUTH, WHY DO YE NOT BELIEVE ME? 47 HE THAT IS OF
GOD HEARETH GOD’S WORDS: YE THEREFORE HEAR THEM NOT,
BECAUSE YE ARE NOT OF GOD. 48 THEN ANSWERED THE JEWS, AND
SAID UNTO HIM, SAY WE NOT WELL THAT THOU ART A SAMARITAN,
AND HAST A DEVIL? 49 JESUS ANSWERED, I HAVE NOT A DEVIL; BUT
I HONOUR MY FATHER, AND YE DO DISHONOUR ME. 50 AND I SEEK
NOT MINE OWN GLORY: THERE IS ONE THAT SEEKETH AND JUDGETH.
51 VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, IF A MAN KEEP MY SAYING, HE
SHALL NEVER SEE DEATH. 52 THEN SAID THE JEWS UNTO HIM, NOW
WE KNOW THAT THOU HAST A DEVIL. ABRAHAM IS DEAD, AND THE
PROPHETS; AND THOU SAYEST, IF A MAN KEEP MY SAYING, HE SHALL
NEVER TASTE OF DEATH. 53 ART THOU GREATER THAN OUR FATHER
ABRAHAM, WHICH IS DEAD? AND THE PROPHETS ARE DEAD: WHOM
MAKEST THOU THYSELF? 54 JESUS ANSWERED, IF I HONOUR MYSELF,
MY HONOUR IS NOTHING: IT IS MY FATHER THAT HONOURETH ME;
OF WHOM YE SAY, THAT HE IS YOUR GOD: 55 YET YE HAVE NOT
KNOWN HIM; BUT I KNOW HIM: AND IF I SHOULD SAY, I KNOW HIM
NOT, I SHALL BE A LIAR LIKE UNTO YOU: BUT I KNOW HIM, AND
KEEP HIS SAYING. 56 YOUR FATHER ABRAHAM REJOICED TO SEE MY
DAY: AND HE SAW IT, AND WAS GLAD. 57 THEN SAID THE JEWS UNTO
HIM, THOU ART NOT YET FIFTY YEARS OLD, AND HAST THOU SEEN

1332
 JOHN
AND THEY ASKED THEM, SAYING, IS THIS YOUR SON, WHO YE SAY
CHAPTER 9 WAS BORN BLIND? HOW THEN DOTH HE NOW SEE? 20 HIS PARENTS
ANSWERED THEM AND SAID, WE KNOW THAT THIS IS OUR SON, AND
AND AS JESUS PASSED BY, HE SAW A MAN WHICH WAS BLIND FROM THAT HE WAS BORN BLIND: 21 BUT BY WHAT MEANS HE NOW SEETH,
HIS BIRTH. 2 AND HIS DISCIPLES ASKED HIM, SAYING, MASTER, WHO WE KNOW NOT; OR WHO HATH OPENED HIS EYES, WE KNOW NOT:
DID SIN, THIS MAN, OR HIS PARENTS, THAT HE WAS BORN BLIND? 3 HE IS OF AGE; ASK HIM: HE SHALL SPEAK FOR HIMSELF. 22 THESE
JESUS ANSWERED, NEITHER HATH THIS MAN SINNED, NOR HIS WORDS SPAKE HIS PARENTS, BECAUSE THEY FEARED THE JEWS: FOR
PARENTS: BUT THAT THE WORKS OF GOD SHOULD BE MADE THE JEWS HAD AGREED ALREADY, THAT IF ANY MAN DID CONFESS
MANIFEST IN HIM. 4 I MUST WORK THE WORKS OF HIM THAT SENT THAT HE WAS CHRIST, HE SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE.
ME, WHILE IT IS DAY: THE NIGHT COMETH, WHEN NO MAN CAN 23 THEREFORE SAID HIS PARENTS, HE IS OF AGE; ASK HIM. 24 THEN
WORK. 5 AS LONG AS I AM IN THE WORLD, I AM THE LIGHT OF THE AGAIN CALLED THEY THE MAN THAT WAS BLIND, AND SAID UNTO
WORLD. 6 WHEN HE HAD THUS SPOKEN, HE SPAT ON THE GROUND, HIM, GIVE GOD THE PRAISE: WE KNOW THAT THIS MAN IS A SINNER.
AND MADE CLAY OF THE SPITTLE, AND HE ANOINTED THE EYES OF 25 HE ANSWERED AND SAID, WHETHER HE BE A SINNER OR NO, I
THE BLIND MAN WITH THE CLAY, 7 AND SAID UNTO HIM, GO, WASH KNOW NOT: ONE THING I KNOW, THAT, WHEREAS I WAS BLIND,
IN THE POOL OF SILOAM, (WHICH IS BY INTERPRETATION, SENT.) HE NOW I SEE. 26 THEN SAID THEY TO HIM AGAIN, WHAT DID HE TO
WENT HIS WAY THEREFORE, AND WASHED, AND CAME SEEING. 8 THEE? HOW OPENED HE THINE EYES? 27 HE ANSWERED THEM, I
THE NEIGHBOURS THEREFORE, AND THEY WHICH BEFORE HAD SEEN HAVE TOLD YOU ALREADY, AND YE DID NOT HEAR: WHEREFORE
HIM THAT HE WAS BLIND, SAID, IS NOT THIS HE THAT SAT AND WOULD YE HEAR IT AGAIN? WILL YE ALSO BE HIS DISCIPLES? 28
BEGGED? 9 SOME SAID, THIS IS HE: OTHERS SAID, HE IS LIKE HIM: THEN THEY REVILED HIM, AND SAID, THOU ART HIS DISCIPLE; BUT
BUT HE SAID, I AM HE. 10 THEREFORE SAID THEY UNTO HIM, HOW WE ARE MOSES’ DISCIPLES. 29 WE KNOW THAT GOD SPAKE UNTO
WERE THINE EYES OPENED? 11 HE ANSWERED AND SAID, A MAN MOSES: AS FOR THIS FELLOW, WE KNOW NOT FROM WHENCE HE IS.
THAT IS CALLED JESUS MADE CLAY, AND ANOINTED MINE EYES, AND 30 THE MAN ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, WHY HEREIN IS A
SAID UNTO ME, GO TO THE POOL OF SILOAM, AND WASH: AND I MARVELLOUS THING, THAT YE KNOW NOT FROM WHENCE HE IS,
WENT AND WASHED, AND I RECEIVED SIGHT. 12 THEN SAID THEY AND YET HE HATH OPENED MINE EYES. 31 NOW WE KNOW THAT
UNTO HIM, WHERE IS HE? HE SAID, I KNOW NOT. 13 THEY BROUGHT GOD HEARETH NOT SINNERS: BUT IF ANY MAN BE A WORSHIPPER
TO THE PHARISEES HIM THAT AFORETIME WAS BLIND. 14 AND IT OF GOD, AND DOETH HIS WILL, HIM HE HEARETH. 32 SINCE THE
WAS THE SABBATH DAY WHEN JESUS MADE THE CLAY, AND OPENED WORLD BEGAN WAS IT NOT HEARD THAT ANY MAN OPENED THE
HIS EYES. 15 THEN AGAIN THE PHARISEES ALSO ASKED HIM HOW HE EYES OF ONE THAT WAS BORN BLIND. 33 IF THIS MAN WERE NOT OF
HAD RECEIVED HIS SIGHT. HE SAID UNTO THEM, HE PUT CLAY UPON GOD, HE COULD DO NOTHING. 34 THEY ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO
MINE EYES, AND I WASHED, AND DO SEE. 16 THEREFORE SAID SOME HIM, THOU WAST ALTOGETHER BORN IN SINS, AND DOST THOU
OF THE PHARISEES, THIS MAN IS NOT OF GOD, BECAUSE HE KEEPETH TEACH US? AND THEY CAST HIM OUT. 35 JESUS HEARD THAT THEY
NOT THE SABBATH DAY. OTHERS SAID, HOW CAN A MAN THAT IS A HAD CAST HIM OUT; AND WHEN HE HAD FOUND HIM, HE SAID UNTO
SINNER DO SUCH MIRACLES? AND THERE WAS A DIVISION AMONG HIM, DOST THOU BELIEVE ON THE SON OF GOD? 36 HE ANSWERED
THEM. 17 THEY SAY UNTO THE BLIND MAN AGAIN, WHAT SAYEST AND SAID, WHO IS HE, LORD, THAT I MIGHT BELIEVE ON HIM? 37
THOU OF HIM, THAT HE HATH OPENED THINE EYES? HE SAID, HE IS AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, THOU HAST BOTH SEEN HIM, AND IT IS
A PROPHET. 18 BUT THE JEWS DID NOT BELIEVE CONCERNING HIM, HE THAT TALKETH WITH THEE. 38 AND HE SAID, LORD, I BELIEVE.
THAT HE HAD BEEN BLIND, AND RECEIVED HIS SIGHT, UNTIL THEY AND HE WORSHIPPED HIM. 39 AND JESUS SAID, FOR JUDGMENT I
CALLED THE PARENTS OF HIM THAT HAD RECEIVED HIS SIGHT. 19 AM COME INTO THIS WORLD, THAT THEY WHICH SEE NOT MIGHT

1333
 JOHN
SEE; AND THAT THEY WHICH SEE MIGHT BE MADE BLIND. 40 AND
SOME OF THE PHARISEES WHICH WERE WITH HIM HEARD THESE
WORDS, AND SAID UNTO HIM, ARE WE BLIND ALSO? 41 JESUS SAID
UNTO THEM, IF YE WERE BLIND, YE SHOULD HAVE NO SIN: BUT NOW
YE SAY, WE SEE; THEREFORE YOUR SIN REMAINETH.

1334
 JOHN
I RECEIVED OF MY FATHER. 19 THERE WAS A DIVISION THEREFORE
CHAPTER 10 AGAIN AMONG THE JEWS FOR THESE SAYINGS. 20 AND MANY OF
THEM SAID, HE HATH A DEVIL, AND IS MAD; WHY HEAR YE HIM? 21
VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, HE THAT ENTERETH NOT BY THE OTHERS SAID, THESE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF HIM THAT HATH A
DOOR INTO THE SHEEPFOLD, BUT CLIMBETH UP SOME OTHER WAY, DEVIL. CAN A DEVIL OPEN THE EYES OF THE BLIND? 22 AND IT WAS
THE SAME IS A THIEF AND A ROBBER. 2 BUT HE THAT ENTERETH IN AT JERUSALEM THE FEAST OF THE DEDICATION, AND IT WAS WINTER.
BY THE DOOR IS THE SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP. 3 TO HIM THE 23 AND JESUS WALKED IN THE TEMPLE IN SOLOMON’S PORCH. 24
PORTER OPENETH; AND THE SHEEP HEAR HIS VOICE: AND HE THEN CAME THE JEWS ROUND ABOUT HIM, AND SAID UNTO HIM,
CALLETH HIS OWN SHEEP BY NAME, AND LEADETH THEM OUT. 4 HOW LONG DOST THOU MAKE US TO DOUBT? IF THOU BE THE CHRIST,
AND WHEN HE PUTTETH FORTH HIS OWN SHEEP, HE GOETH BEFORE TELL US PLAINLY. 25 JESUS ANSWERED THEM, I TOLD YOU, AND YE
THEM, AND THE SHEEP FOLLOW HIM: FOR THEY KNOW HIS VOICE. BELIEVED NOT: THE WORKS THAT I DO IN MY FATHER’S NAME, THEY
5 AND A STRANGER WILL THEY NOT FOLLOW, BUT WILL FLEE FROM BEAR WITNESS OF ME. 26 BUT YE BELIEVE NOT, BECAUSE YE ARE
HIM: FOR THEY KNOW NOT THE VOICE OF STRANGERS. 6 THIS NOT OF MY SHEEP, AS I SAID UNTO YOU. 27 MY SHEEP HEAR MY
PARABLE SPAKE JESUS UNTO THEM: BUT THEY UNDERSTOOD NOT VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME: 28 AND I GIVE
WHAT THINGS THEY WERE WHICH HE SPAKE UNTO THEM. 7 THEN UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE; AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH,
SAID JESUS UNTO THEM AGAIN, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, I NEITHER SHALL ANY MAN PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY HAND. 29 MY
AM THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP. 8 ALL THAT EVER CAME BEFORE ME FATHER, WHICH GAVE THEM ME, IS GREATER THAN ALL; AND NO
ARE THIEVES AND ROBBERS: BUT THE SHEEP DID NOT HEAR THEM. MAN IS ABLE TO PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY FATHER’S HAND. 30 I AND
9 I AM THE DOOR: BY ME IF ANY MAN ENTER IN, HE SHALL BE SAVED, MY FATHER ARE ONE. 31 THEN THE JEWS TOOK UP STONES AGAIN
AND SHALL GO IN AND OUT, AND FIND PASTURE. 10 THE THIEF TO STONE HIM. 32 JESUS ANSWERED THEM, MANY GOOD WORKS
COMETH NOT, BUT FOR TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY: I HAVE I SHEWED YOU FROM MY FATHER; FOR WHICH OF THOSE
AM COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MIGHT WORKS DO YE STONE ME? 33 THE JEWS ANSWERED HIM, SAYING,
HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY. 11 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD: THE FOR A GOOD WORK WE STONE THEE NOT; BUT FOR BLASPHEMY; AND
GOOD SHEPHERD GIVETH HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP. 12 BUT HE THAT BECAUSE THAT THOU, BEING A MAN, MAKEST THYSELF GOD. 34
IS AN HIRELING, AND NOT THE SHEPHERD, WHOSE OWN THE SHEEP JESUS ANSWERED THEM, IS IT NOT WRITTEN IN YOUR LAW, I SAID,
ARE NOT, SEETH THE WOLF COMING, AND LEAVETH THE SHEEP, AND YE ARE GODS? 35 IF HE CALLED THEM GODS, UNTO WHOM THE
FLEETH: AND THE WOLF CATCHETH THEM, AND SCATTERETH THE WORD OF GOD CAME, AND THE SCRIPTURE CANNOT BE BROKEN; 36
SHEEP. 13 THE HIRELING FLEETH, BECAUSE HE IS AN HIRELING, AND SAY YE OF HIM, WHOM THE FATHER HATH SANCTIFIED, AND SENT
CARETH NOT FOR THE SHEEP. 14 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD, AND INTO THE WORLD, THOU BLASPHEMEST; BECAUSE I SAID, I AM THE
KNOW MY SHEEP, AND AM KNOWN OF MINE. 15 AS THE FATHER SON OF GOD? 37 IF I DO NOT THE WORKS OF MY FATHER, BELIEVE
KNOWETH ME, EVEN SO KNOW I THE FATHER: AND I LAY DOWN MY ME NOT. 38 BUT IF I DO, THOUGH YE BELIEVE NOT ME, BELIEVE THE
LIFE FOR THE SHEEP. 16 AND OTHER SHEEP I HAVE, WHICH ARE NOT WORKS: THAT YE MAY KNOW, AND BELIEVE, THAT THE FATHER IS IN
OF THIS FOLD: THEM ALSO I MUST BRING, AND THEY SHALL HEAR ME, AND I IN HIM. 39 THEREFORE THEY SOUGHT AGAIN TO TAKE HIM:
MY VOICE; AND THERE SHALL BE ONE FOLD, AND ONE SHEPHERD. BUT HE ESCAPED OUT OF THEIR HAND, 40 AND WENT AWAY AGAIN
17 THEREFORE DOTH MY FATHER LOVE ME, BECAUSE I LAY DOWN BEYOND JORDAN INTO THE PLACE WHERE JOHN AT FIRST BAPTIZED;
MY LIFE, THAT I MIGHT TAKE IT AGAIN. 18 NO MAN TAKETH IT FROM AND THERE HE ABODE. 41 AND MANY RESORTED UNTO HIM, AND
ME, BUT I LAY IT DOWN OF MYSELF. I HAVE POWER TO LAY IT DOWN, SAID, JOHN DID NO MIRACLE: BUT ALL THINGS THAT JOHN SPAKE
AND I HAVE POWER TO TAKE IT AGAIN. THIS COMMANDMENT HAVE OF THIS MAN WERE TRUE. 42 AND MANY BELIEVED ON HIM THERE.

BEEN HERE, MY BROTHER HAD NOT DIED. 22 BUT I KNOW, THAT
CHAPTER 11 EVEN NOW, WHATSOEVER THOU WILT ASK OF GOD, GOD WILL GIVE
IT THEE. 23 JESUS SAITH UNTO HER, THY BROTHER SHALL RISE
NOW A CERTAIN MAN WAS SICK, NAMED LAZARUS, OF BETHANY, AGAIN. 24 MARTHA SAITH UNTO HIM, I KNOW THAT HE SHALL RISE
THE TOWN OF MARY AND HER SISTER MARTHA. 2 (IT WAS THAT AGAIN IN THE RESURRECTION AT THE LAST DAY. 25 JESUS SAID UNTO
MARY WHICH ANOINTED THE LORD WITH OINTMENT, AND WIPED HER, I AM THE RESURRECTION, AND THE LIFE: HE THAT BELIEVETH
HIS FEET WITH HER HAIR, WHOSE BROTHER LAZARUS WAS SICK.) 3 IN ME, THOUGH HE WERE DEAD, YET SHALL HE LIVE: 26 AND
THEREFORE HIS SISTERS SENT UNTO HIM, SAYING, LORD, BEHOLD, WHOSOEVER LIVETH AND BELIEVETH IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE.
HE WHOM THOU LOVEST IS SICK. 4 WHEN JESUS HEARD THAT, HE BELIEVEST THOU THIS? 27 SHE SAITH UNTO HIM, YEA, LORD: I
SAID, THIS SICKNESS IS NOT UNTO DEATH, BUT FOR THE GLORY OF BELIEVE THAT THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, WHICH
GOD, THAT THE SON OF GOD MIGHT BE GLORIFIED THEREBY. 5 NOW SHOULD COME INTO THE WORLD. 28 AND WHEN SHE HAD SO SAID,
JESUS LOVED MARTHA, AND HER SISTER, AND LAZARUS. 6 WHEN HE SHE WENT HER WAY, AND CALLED MARY HER SISTER SECRETLY,
HAD HEARD THEREFORE THAT HE WAS SICK, HE ABODE TWO DAYS SAYING, THE MASTER IS COME, AND CALLETH FOR THEE. 29 AS SOON
STILL IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE HE WAS. 7 THEN AFTER THAT AS SHE HEARD THAT, SHE AROSE QUICKLY, AND CAME UNTO HIM.
SAITH HE TO HIS DISCIPLES, LET US GO INTO JUDÆA AGAIN. 8 HIS 30 NOW JESUS WAS NOT YET COME INTO THE TOWN, BUT WAS IN
DISCIPLES SAY UNTO HIM, MASTER, THE JEWS OF LATE SOUGHT TO THAT PLACE WHERE MARTHA MET HIM. 31 THE JEWS THEN WHICH
STONE THEE; AND GOEST THOU THITHER AGAIN? 9 JESUS ANSWERED, WERE WITH HER IN THE HOUSE, AND COMFORTED HER, WHEN THEY
ARE THERE NOT TWELVE HOURS IN THE DAY? IF ANY MAN WALK IN SAW MARY, THAT SHE ROSE UP HASTILY AND WENT OUT, FOLLOWED
THE DAY, HE STUMBLETH NOT, BECAUSE HE SEETH THE LIGHT OF HER, SAYING, SHE GOETH UNTO THE GRAVE TO WEEP THERE. 32
THIS WORLD. 10 BUT IF A MAN WALK IN THE NIGHT, HE STUMBLETH, THEN WHEN MARY WAS COME WHERE JESUS WAS, AND SAW HIM,
BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT IN HIM. 11 THESE THINGS SAID HE: SHE FELL DOWN AT HIS FEET, SAYING UNTO HIM, LORD, IF THOU
AND AFTER THAT HE SAITH UNTO THEM, OUR FRIEND LAZARUS HADST BEEN HERE, MY BROTHER HAD NOT DIED. 33 WHEN JESUS
SLEEPETH; BUT I GO, THAT I MAY AWAKE HIM OUT OF SLEEP. 12 THEREFORE SAW HER WEEPING, AND THE JEWS ALSO WEEPING
THEN SAID HIS DISCIPLES, LORD, IF HE SLEEP, HE SHALL DO WELL. WHICH CAME WITH HER, HE GROANED IN THE SPIRIT, AND WAS
13 HOWBEIT JESUS SPAKE OF HIS DEATH: BUT THEY THOUGHT THAT TROUBLED, 34 AND SAID, WHERE HAVE YE LAID HIM? THEY SAID
HE HAD SPOKEN OF TAKING OF REST IN SLEEP. 14 THEN SAID JESUS UNTO HIM, LORD, COME AND SEE. 35 JESUS WEPT. 36 THEN SAID
UNTO THEM PLAINLY, LAZARUS IS DEAD. 15 AND I AM GLAD FOR THE JEWS, BEHOLD HOW HE LOVED HIM! 37 AND SOME OF THEM
YOUR SAKES THAT I WAS NOT THERE, TO THE INTENT YE MAY SAID, COULD NOT THIS MAN, WHICH OPENED THE EYES OF THE
BELIEVE; NEVERTHELESS LET US GO UNTO HIM. 16 THEN SAID BLIND, HAVE CAUSED THAT EVEN THIS MAN SHOULD NOT HAVE
THOMAS, WHICH IS CALLED DIDYMUS, UNTO HIS FELLOWDISCIPLES, DIED? 38 JESUS THEREFORE AGAIN GROANING IN HIMSELF COMETH
LET US ALSO GO, THAT WE MAY DIE WITH HIM. 17 THEN WHEN TO THE GRAVE. IT WAS A CAVE, AND A STONE LAY UPON IT. 39 JESUS
JESUS CAME, HE FOUND THAT HE HAD LAIN IN THE GRAVE FOUR SAID, TAKE YE AWAY THE STONE. MARTHA, THE SISTER OF HIM THAT
DAYS ALREADY. 18 NOW BETHANY WAS NIGH UNTO JERUSALEM, WAS DEAD, SAITH UNTO HIM, LORD, BY THIS TIME HE STINKETH:
ABOUT FIFTEEN FURLONGS OFF: 19 AND MANY OF THE JEWS CAME FOR HE HATH BEEN DEAD FOUR DAYS. 40 JESUS SAITH UNTO HER,
TO MARTHA AND MARY, TO COMFORT THEM CONCERNING THEIR SAID I NOT UNTO THEE, THAT, IF THOU WOULDEST BELIEVE, THOU
BROTHER. 20 THEN MARTHA, AS SOON AS SHE HEARD THAT JESUS SHOULDEST SEE THE GLORY OF GOD? 41 THEN THEY TOOK AWAY THE
WAS COMING, WENT AND MET HIM: BUT MARY SAT STILL IN THE STONE FROM THE PLACE WHERE THE DEAD WAS LAID. AND JESUS
HOUSE. 21 THEN SAID MARTHA UNTO JESUS, LORD, IF THOU HADST LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND SAID, FATHER, I THANK THEE THAT THOU

1337
 JOHN
HAST HEARD ME. 42 AND I KNEW THAT THOU HEAREST ME ALWAYS:
BUT BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE WHICH STAND BY I SAID IT, THAT THEY
MAY BELIEVE THAT THOU HAST SENT ME. 43 AND WHEN HE THUS
HAD SPOKEN, HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, LAZARUS, COME
FORTH. 44 AND HE THAT WAS DEAD CAME FORTH, BOUND HAND
AND FOOT WITH GRAVECLOTHES: AND HIS FACE WAS BOUND ABOUT
WITH A NAPKIN. JESUS SAITH UNTO THEM, LOOSE HIM, AND LET
HIM GO. 45 THEN MANY OF THE JEWS WHICH CAME TO MARY, AND
HAD SEEN THE THINGS WHICH JESUS DID, BELIEVED ON HIM. 46 BUT
SOME OF THEM WENT THEIR WAYS TO THE PHARISEES, AND TOLD
THEM WHAT THINGS JESUS HAD DONE. 47 THEN GATHERED THE
CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE PHARISEES A COUNCIL, AND SAID, WHAT
DO WE? FOR THIS MAN DOETH MANY MIRACLES. 48 IF WE LET HIM
THUS ALONE, ALL MEN WILL BELIEVE ON HIM: AND THE ROMANS
SHALL COME AND TAKE AWAY BOTH OUR PLACE AND NATION. 49
AND ONE OF THEM, NAMED CAIAPHAS, BEING THE HIGH PRIEST
THAT SAME YEAR, SAID UNTO THEM, YE KNOW NOTHING AT ALL, 50
NOR CONSIDER THAT IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR US, THAT ONE MAN
SHOULD DIE FOR THE PEOPLE, AND THAT THE WHOLE NATION
PERISH NOT. 51 AND THIS SPAKE HE NOT OF HIMSELF: BUT BEING
HIGH PRIEST THAT YEAR, HE PROPHESIED THAT JESUS SHOULD DIE
FOR THAT NATION; 52 AND NOT FOR THAT NATION ONLY, BUT THAT
ALSO HE SHOULD GATHER TOGETHER IN ONE THE CHILDREN OF GOD
THAT WERE SCATTERED ABROAD. 53 THEN FROM THAT DAY FORTH
THEY TOOK COUNSEL TOGETHER FOR TO PUT HIM TO DEATH. 54
JESUS THEREFORE WALKED NO MORE OPENLY AMONG THE JEWS;
BUT WENT THENCE UNTO A COUNTRY NEAR TO THE WILDERNESS,
INTO A CITY CALLED EPHRAIM, AND THERE CONTINUED WITH HIS
DISCIPLES. 55 AND THE JEWS’ PASSOVER WAS NIGH AT HAND: AND
MANY WENT OUT OF THE COUNTRY UP TO JERUSALEM BEFORE THE
PASSOVER, TO PURIFY THEMSELVES. 56 THEN SOUGHT THEY FOR
JESUS, AND SPAKE AMONG THEMSELVES, AS THEY STOOD IN THE
TEMPLE, WHAT THINK YE, THAT HE WILL NOT COME TO THE FEAST?
57 NOW BOTH THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE PHARISEES HAD GIVEN
A COMMANDMENT, THAT, IF ANY MAN KNEW WHERE HE WERE, HE
SHOULD SHEW IT, THAT THEY MIGHT TAKE HIM.

1338
 JOHN
HAD DONE THIS MIRACLE. 19 THE PHARISEES THEREFORE SAID
CHAPTER 12 AMONG THEMSELVES, PERCEIVE YE HOW YE PREVAIL NOTHING?
BEHOLD, THE WORLD IS GONE AFTER HIM. 20 AND THERE WERE
THEN JESUS SIX DAYS BEFORE THE PASSOVER CAME TO BETHANY, CERTAIN GREEKS AMONG THEM THAT CAME UP TO WORSHIP AT THE
WHERE LAZARUS WAS WHICH HAD BEEN DEAD, WHOM HE RAISED FEAST: 21 THE SAME CAME THEREFORE TO PHILIP, WHICH WAS OF
FROM THE DEAD. 2 THERE THEY MADE HIM A SUPPER; AND MARTHA BETHSAIDA OF GALILEE, AND DESIRED HIM, SAYING, SIR, WE WOULD
SERVED: BUT LAZARUS WAS ONE OF THEM THAT SAT AT THE TABLE SEE JESUS. 22 PHILIP COMETH AND TELLETH ANDREW: AND AGAIN
WITH HIM. 3 THEN TOOK MARY A POUND OF OINTMENT OF ANDREW AND PHILIP TELL JESUS. 23 AND JESUS ANSWERED THEM,
SPIKENARD, VERY COSTLY, AND ANOINTED THE FEET OF JESUS, AND SAYING, THE HOUR IS COME, THAT THE SON OF MAN SHOULD BE
WIPED HIS FEET WITH HER HAIR: AND THE HOUSE WAS FILLED WITH GLORIFIED. 24 VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT A CORN OF
THE ODOUR OF THE OINTMENT. 4 THEN SAITH ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES, WHEAT FALL INTO THE GROUND AND DIE, IT ABIDETH ALONE: BUT
JUDAS ISCARIOT, SIMON’S SON, WHICH SHOULD BETRAY HIM, 5 IF IT DIE, IT BRINGETH FORTH MUCH FRUIT. 25 HE THAT LOVETH HIS
WHY WAS NOT THIS OINTMENT SOLD FOR THREE HUNDRED PENCE, LIFE SHALL LOSE IT; AND HE THAT HATETH HIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD
AND GIVEN TO THE POOR? 6 THIS HE SAID, NOT THAT HE CARED FOR SHALL KEEP IT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL. 26 IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, LET
THE POOR; BUT BECAUSE HE WAS A THIEF, AND HAD THE BAG, AND HIM FOLLOW ME; AND WHERE I AM, THERE SHALL ALSO MY
BARE WHAT WAS PUT THEREIN. 7 THEN SAID JESUS, LET HER ALONE: SERVANT BE: IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, HIM WILL MY FATHER HONOUR.
AGAINST THE DAY OF MY BURYING HATH SHE KEPT THIS. 8 FOR THE 27 NOW IS MY SOUL TROUBLED; AND WHAT SHALL I SAY? FATHER,
POOR ALWAYS YE HAVE WITH YOU; BUT ME YE HAVE NOT ALWAYS. SAVE ME FROM THIS HOUR: BUT FOR THIS CAUSE CAME I UNTO THIS
9 MUCH PEOPLE OF THE JEWS THEREFORE KNEW THAT HE WAS HOUR. 28 FATHER, GLORIFY THY NAME. THEN CAME THERE A VOICE
THERE: AND THEY CAME NOT FOR JESUS’ SAKE ONLY, BUT THAT FROM HEAVEN, SAYING, I HAVE BOTH GLORIFIED IT, AND WILL
THEY MIGHT SEE LAZARUS ALSO, WHOM HE HAD RAISED FROM THE GLORIFY IT AGAIN. 29 THE PEOPLE THEREFORE, THAT STOOD BY,
DEAD. 10 BUT THE CHIEF PRIESTS CONSULTED THAT THEY MIGHT AND HEARD IT, SAID THAT IT THUNDERED: OTHERS SAID, AN ANGEL
PUT LAZARUS ALSO TO DEATH; 11 BECAUSE THAT BY REASON OF HIM SPAKE TO HIM. 30 JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID, THIS VOICE CAME
MANY OF THE JEWS WENT AWAY, AND BELIEVED ON JESUS. 12 ON NOT BECAUSE OF ME, BUT FOR YOUR SAKES. 31 NOW IS THE
THE NEXT DAY MUCH PEOPLE THAT WERE COME TO THE FEAST, JUDGMENT OF THIS WORLD: NOW SHALL THE PRINCE OF THIS
WHEN THEY HEARD THAT JESUS WAS COMING TO JERUSALEM, 13 WORLD BE CAST OUT. 32 AND I, IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH,
TOOK BRANCHES OF PALM TREES, AND WENT FORTH TO MEET HIM, WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME. 33 THIS HE SAID, SIGNIFYING WHAT
AND CRIED, HOSANNA: BLESSED IS THE KING OF ISRAEL THAT DEATH HE SHOULD DIE. 34 THE PEOPLE ANSWERED HIM, WE HAVE
COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD. 14 AND JESUS, WHEN HE HAD HEARD OUT OF THE LAW THAT CHRIST ABIDETH FOR EVER: AND HOW
FOUND A YOUNG ASS, SAT THEREON; AS IT IS WRITTEN, 15 FEAR NOT, SAYEST THOU, THE SON OF MAN MUST BE LIFTED UP? WHO IS THIS
DAUGHTER OF SION: BEHOLD, THY KING COMETH, SITTING ON AN SON OF MAN? 35 THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, YET A LITTLE WHILE
ASS’S COLT. 16 THESE THINGS UNDERSTOOD NOT HIS DISCIPLES AT IS THE LIGHT WITH YOU. WALK WHILE YE HAVE THE LIGHT, LEST
THE FIRST: BUT WHEN JESUS WAS GLORIFIED, THEN REMEMBERED DARKNESS COME UPON YOU: FOR HE THAT WALKETH IN DARKNESS
THEY THAT THESE THINGS WERE WRITTEN OF HIM, AND THAT THEY KNOWETH NOT WHITHER HE GOETH. 36 WHILE YE HAVE LIGHT,
HAD DONE THESE THINGS UNTO HIM. 17 THE PEOPLE THEREFORE BELIEVE IN THE LIGHT, THAT YE MAY BE THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT.
THAT WAS WITH HIM WHEN HE CALLED LAZARUS OUT OF HIS GRAVE, THESE THINGS SPAKE JESUS, AND DEPARTED, AND DID HIDE
AND RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, BARE RECORD. 18 FOR THIS HIMSELF FROM THEM. 37 BUT THOUGH HE HAD DONE SO MANY
CAUSE THE PEOPLE ALSO MET HIM, FOR THAT THEY HEARD THAT HE MIRACLES BEFORE THEM, YET THEY BELIEVED NOT ON HIM: 38 THAT

1339
 JOHN
THE SAYING OF ESAIAS THE PROPHET MIGHT BE FULFILLED, WHICH
HE SPAKE, LORD, WHO HATH BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO
WHOM HATH THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED? 39
THEREFORE THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE, BECAUSE THAT ESAIAS SAID
AGAIN, 40 HE HATH BLINDED THEIR EYES, AND HARDENED THEIR
HEART; THAT THEY SHOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES, NOR
UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED, AND I
SHOULD HEAL THEM. 41 THESE THINGS SAID ESAIAS, WHEN HE SAW
HIS GLORY, AND SPAKE OF HIM. 42 NEVERTHELESS AMONG THE
CHIEF RULERS ALSO MANY BELIEVED ON HIM; BUT BECAUSE OF THE
PHARISEES THEY DID NOT CONFESS HIM, LEST THEY SHOULD BE PUT
OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE: 43 FOR THEY LOVED THE PRAISE OF MEN
MORE THAN THE PRAISE OF GOD. 44 JESUS CRIED AND SAID, HE
THAT BELIEVETH ON ME, BELIEVETH NOT ON ME, BUT ON HIM THAT
SENT ME. 45 AND HE THAT SEETH ME SEETH HIM THAT SENT ME. 46
I AM COME A LIGHT INTO THE WORLD, THAT WHOSOEVER
BELIEVETH ON ME SHOULD NOT ABIDE IN DARKNESS. 47 AND IF ANY
MAN HEAR MY WORDS, AND BELIEVE NOT, I JUDGE HIM NOT: FOR I
CAME NOT TO JUDGE THE WORLD, BUT TO SAVE THE WORLD. 48 HE
THAT REJECTETH ME, AND RECEIVETH NOT MY WORDS, HATH ONE
THAT JUDGETH HIM: THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME
SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY. 49 FOR I HAVE NOT SPOKEN OF
MYSELF; BUT THE FATHER WHICH SENT ME, HE GAVE ME A
COMMANDMENT, WHAT I SHOULD SAY, AND WHAT I SHOULD SPEAK.
50 AND I KNOW THAT HIS COMMANDMENT IS LIFE EVERLASTING:
WHATSOEVER I SPEAK THEREFORE, EVEN AS THE FATHER SAID UNTO
ME, SO I SPEAK.

1340
 JOHN
BREAD WITH ME HATH LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME. 19 NOW I
CHAPTER 13 TELL YOU BEFORE IT COME, THAT, WHEN IT IS COME TO PASS, YE
MAY BELIEVE THAT I AM HE. 20 VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU,
HE THAT RECEIVETH WHOMSOEVER I SEND RECEIVETH ME; AND HE
NOW BEFORE THE FEAST OF THE PASSOVER, WHEN JESUS KNEW THAT RECEIVETH ME RECEIVETH HIM THAT SENT ME. 21 WHEN
THAT HIS HOUR WAS COME THAT HE SHOULD DEPART OUT OF THIS JESUS HAD THUS SAID, HE WAS TROUBLED IN SPIRIT, AND TESTIFIED,
WORLD UNTO THE FATHER, HAVING LOVED HIS OWN WHICH WERE AND SAID, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT ONE OF YOU
IN THE WORLD, HE LOVED THEM UNTO THE END. 2 AND SUPPER SHALL BETRAY ME. 22 THEN THE DISCIPLES LOOKED ONE ON
BEING ENDED, THE DEVIL HAVING NOW PUT INTO THE HEART OF ANOTHER, DOUBTING OF WHOM HE SPAKE. 23 NOW THERE WAS
JUDAS ISCARIOT, SIMON’S SON, TO BETRAY HIM; 3 JESUS KNOWING LEANING ON JESUS’ BOSOM ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES, WHOM JESUS
THAT THE FATHER HAD GIVEN ALL THINGS INTO HIS HANDS, AND LOVED. 24 SIMON PETER THEREFORE BECKONED TO HIM, THAT HE
THAT HE WAS COME FROM GOD, AND WENT TO GOD; 4 HE RISETH SHOULD ASK WHO IT SHOULD BE OF WHOM HE SPAKE. 25 HE THEN
FROM SUPPER, AND LAID ASIDE HIS GARMENTS; AND TOOK A TOWEL, LYING ON JESUS’ BREAST SAITH UNTO HIM, LORD, WHO IS IT? 26
AND GIRDED HIMSELF. 5 AFTER THAT HE POURETH WATER INTO A JESUS ANSWERED, HE IT IS, TO WHOM I SHALL GIVE A SOP, WHEN I
BASON, AND BEGAN TO WASH THE DISCIPLES’ FEET, AND TO WIPE HAVE DIPPED IT. AND WHEN HE HAD DIPPED THE SOP, HE GAVE IT
THEM WITH THE TOWEL WHEREWITH HE WAS GIRDED. 6 THEN TO JUDAS ISCARIOT, THE SON OF SIMON. 27 AND AFTER THE SOP
COMETH HE TO SIMON PETER: AND PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, LORD, SATAN ENTERED INTO HIM. THEN SAID JESUS UNTO HIM, THAT
DOST THOU WASH MY FEET? 7 JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THOU DOEST, DO QUICKLY. 28 NOW NO MAN AT THE TABLE KNEW
HIM, WHAT I DO THOU KNOWEST NOT NOW; BUT THOU SHALT FOR WHAT INTENT HE SPAKE THIS UNTO HIM. 29 FOR SOME OF
KNOW HEREAFTER. 8 PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, THOU SHALT NEVER THEM THOUGHT, BECAUSE JUDAS HAD THE BAG, THAT JESUS HAD
WASH MY FEET. JESUS ANSWERED HIM, IF I WASH THEE NOT, THOU SAID UNTO HIM, BUY THOSE THINGS THAT WE HAVE NEED OF
HAST NO PART WITH ME. 9 SIMON PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, LORD, AGAINST THE FEAST; OR, THAT HE SHOULD GIVE SOMETHING TO THE
NOT MY FEET ONLY, BUT ALSO MY HANDS AND MY HEAD. 10 JESUS POOR. 30 HE THEN HAVING RECEIVED THE SOP WENT IMMEDIATELY
SAITH TO HIM, HE THAT IS WASHED NEEDETH NOT SAVE TO WASH OUT: AND IT WAS NIGHT. 31 THEREFORE, WHEN HE WAS GONE OUT,
HIS FEET, BUT IS CLEAN EVERY WHIT: AND YE ARE CLEAN, BUT NOT JESUS SAID, NOW IS THE SON OF MAN GLORIFIED, AND GOD IS
ALL. 11 FOR HE KNEW WHO SHOULD BETRAY HIM; THEREFORE SAID GLORIFIED IN HIM. 32 IF GOD BE GLORIFIED IN HIM, GOD SHALL
HE, YE ARE NOT ALL CLEAN. 12 SO AFTER HE HAD WASHED THEIR ALSO GLORIFY HIM IN HIMSELF, AND SHALL STRAIGHTWAY GLORIFY
FEET, AND HAD TAKEN HIS GARMENTS, AND WAS SET DOWN AGAIN, HIM. 33 LITTLE CHILDREN, YET A LITTLE WHILE I AM WITH YOU. YE
HE SAID UNTO THEM, KNOW YE WHAT I HAVE DONE TO YOU? 13 YE SHALL SEEK ME: AND AS I SAID UNTO THE JEWS, WHITHER I GO, YE
CALL ME MASTER AND LORD: AND YE SAY WELL; FOR SO I AM. 14 IF CANNOT COME; SO NOW I SAY TO YOU. 34 A NEW COMMANDMENT
I THEN, YOUR LORD AND MASTER, HAVE WASHED YOUR FEET; YE I GIVE UNTO YOU, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER; AS I HAVE LOVED
ALSO OUGHT TO WASH ONE ANOTHER’S FEET. 15 FOR I HAVE GIVEN YOU, THAT YE ALSO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. 35 BY THIS SHALL ALL MEN
YOU AN EXAMPLE, THAT YE SHOULD DO AS I HAVE DONE TO YOU. 16 KNOW THAT YE ARE MY DISCIPLES, IF YE HAVE LOVE ONE TO
VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, THE SERVANT IS NOT GREATER ANOTHER. 36 SIMON PETER SAID UNTO HIM, LORD, WHITHER GOEST
THAN HIS LORD; NEITHER HE THAT IS SENT GREATER THAN HE THAT THOU? JESUS ANSWERED HIM, WHITHER I GO, THOU CANST NOT
SENT HIM. 17 IF YE KNOW THESE THINGS, HAPPY ARE YE IF YE DO FOLLOW ME NOW; BUT THOU SHALT FOLLOW ME AFTERWARDS. 37
THEM. 18 I SPEAK NOT OF YOU ALL: I KNOW WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN: PETER SAID UNTO HIM, LORD, WHY CANNOT I FOLLOW THEE NOW?
BUT THAT THE SCRIPTURE MAY BE FULFILLED, HE THAT EATETH I WILL LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR THY SAKE. 38 JESUS ANSWERED HIM,

1341

WILT THOU LAY DOWN THY LIFE FOR MY SAKE? VERILY, VERILY, I
SAY UNTO THEE, THE COCK SHALL NOT CROW, TILL THOU HAST
DENIED ME THRICE.

KEEPETH THEM, HE IT IS THAT LOVETH ME: AND HE THAT LOVETH
LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED: YE BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ME SHALL BE LOVED OF MY FATHER, AND I WILL LOVE HIM, AND
ALSO IN ME. 2 IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS: IF IT WILL MANIFEST MYSELF TO HIM. 22 JUDAS SAITH UNTO HIM, NOT
WERE NOT SO, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE ISCARIOT, LORD, HOW IS IT THAT THOU WILT MANIFEST THYSELF
FOR YOU. 3 AND IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL UNTO US, AND NOT UNTO THE WORLD? 23 JESUS ANSWERED AND
COME AGAIN, AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM, SAID UNTO HIM, IF A MAN LOVE ME, HE WILL KEEP MY WORDS: AND
THERE YE MAY BE ALSO. 4 AND WHITHER I GO YE KNOW, AND THE MY FATHER WILL LOVE HIM, AND WE WILL COME UNTO HIM, AND
WAY YE KNOW. 5 THOMAS SAITH UNTO HIM, LORD, WE KNOW NOT MAKE OUR ABODE WITH HIM. 24 HE THAT LOVETH ME NOT KEEPETH
WHITHER THOU GOEST; AND HOW CAN WE KNOW THE WAY? 6 JESUS NOT MY SAYINGS: AND THE WORD WHICH YE HEAR IS NOT MINE,
SAITH UNTO HIM, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO BUT THE FATHER’S WHICH SENT ME. 25 THESE THINGS HAVE I
MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME. 7 IF YE HAD KNOWN SPOKEN UNTO YOU, BEING YET PRESENT WITH YOU. 26 BUT THE
ME, YE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN MY FATHER ALSO: AND FROM COMFORTER, WHICH IS THE HOLY GHOST, WHOM THE FATHER WILL
HENCEFORTH YE KNOW HIM, AND HAVE SEEN HIM. 8 PHILIP SAITH SEND IN MY NAME, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, AND BRING
UNTO HIM, LORD, SHEW US THE FATHER, AND IT SUFFICETH US. 9 ALL THINGS TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE, WHATSOEVER I HAVE SAID
JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, HAVE I BEEN SO LONG TIME WITH YOU, UNTO YOU. 27 PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU, MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO
AND YET HAST THOU NOT KNOWN ME, PHILIP? HE THAT HATH SEEN YOU: NOT AS THE WORLD GIVETH, GIVE I UNTO YOU. LET NOT YOUR
ME HATH SEEN THE FATHER; AND HOW SAYEST THOU THEN, SHEW HEART BE TROUBLED, NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID. 28 YE HAVE HEARD

AND THE FATHER IN ME? THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU I YE LOVED ME, YE WOULD REJOICE, BECAUSE I SAID, I GO UNTO THE

I AM THE TRUE VINE, AND MY FATHER IS THE HUSBANDMAN. 2 SERVANT IS NOT GREATER THAN HIS LORD. IF THEY HAVE
EVERY BRANCH IN ME THAT BEARETH NOT FRUIT HE TAKETH AWAY: PERSECUTED ME, THEY WILL ALSO PERSECUTE YOU; IF THEY HAVE
AND EVERY BRANCH THAT BEARETH FRUIT, HE PURGETH IT, THAT IT KEPT MY SAYING, THEY WILL KEEP YOURS ALSO. 21 BUT ALL THESE
MAY BRING FORTH MORE FRUIT. 3 NOW YE ARE CLEAN THROUGH THINGS WILL THEY DO UNTO YOU FOR MY NAME’S SAKE, BECAUSE
THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU. 4 ABIDE IN ME, AND THEY KNOW NOT HIM THAT SENT ME. 22 IF I HAD NOT COME AND

COMMANDED TO PUT THE APOSTLES FORTH A LITTLE SPACE; 35 AND
SAID UNTO THEM, YE MEN OF ISRAEL, TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES

BE OF MEN, IT WILL COME TO NOUGHT: 39 BUT IF IT BE OF GOD, YE
CANNOT OVERTHROW IT; LEST HAPLY YE BE FOUND EVEN TO FIGHT
AGAINST GOD. 40 AND TO HIM THEY AGREED: AND WHEN THEY HAD
CALLED THE APOSTLES, AND BEATEN THEM, THEY COMMANDED
THAT THEY SHOULD NOT SPEAK IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND LET
THEM GO. 41 AND THEY DEPARTED FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE
COUNCIL, REJOICING THAT THEY WERE COUNTED WORTHY TO
SUFFER SHAME FOR HIS NAME. 42 AND DAILY IN THE TEMPLE, AND

NEGLECTED IN THE DAILY MINISTRATION. 2 THEN THE TWELVE
CALLED THE MULTITUDE OF THE DISCIPLES UNTO THEM, AND SAID,
IT IS NOT REASON THAT WE SHOULD LEAVE THE WORD OF GOD, AND
SERVE TABLES. 3 WHEREFORE, BRETHREN, LOOK YE OUT AMONG
YOU SEVEN MEN OF HONEST REPORT, FULL OF THE HOLY GHOST

OF FAITH AND POWER, DID GREAT WONDERS AND MIRACLES AMONG
THE PEOPLE. 9 THEN THERE AROSE CERTAIN OF THE SYNAGOGUE,
WHICH IS CALLED THE SYNAGOGUE OF THE LIBERTINES, AND
CYRENIANS, AND ALEXANDRIANS, AND OF THEM OF CILICIA AND OF
ASIA, DISPUTING WITH STEPHEN. 10 AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO
RESIST THE WISDOM AND THE SPIRIT BY WHICH HE SPAKE. 11 THEN
THEY SUBORNED MEN, WHICH SAID, WE HAVE HEARD HIM SPEAK
BLASPHEMOUS WORDS AGAINST MOSES, AND AGAINST GOD. 12 AND
THEY STIRRED UP THE PEOPLE, AND THE ELDERS, AND THE SCRIBES,
AND CAME UPON HIM, AND CAUGHT HIM, AND BROUGHT HIM TO
THE COUNCIL, 13 AND SET UP FALSE WITNESSES, WHICH SAID, THIS
MAN CEASETH NOT TO SPEAK BLASPHEMOUS WORDS AGAINST THIS
HOLY PLACE, AND THE LAW: 14 FOR WE HAVE HEARD HIM SAY, THAT
THIS JESUS OF NAZARETH SHALL DESTROY THIS PLACE, AND SHALL
CHANGE THE CUSTOMS WHICH MOSES DELIVERED US. 15 AND ALL

MEN, BRETHREN, AND FATHERS, HEARKEN; THE GOD OF GLORY EGYPT, 18 TILL ANOTHER KING AROSE, WHICH KNEW NOT JOSEPH.

MESOPOTAMIA, BEFORE HE DWELT IN CHARRAN, 3 AND SAID UNTO ENTREATED OUR FATHERS, SO THAT THEY CAST OUT THEIR YOUNG
HIM, GET THEE OUT OF THY COUNTRY, AND FROM THY KINDRED, CHILDREN, TO THE END THEY MIGHT NOT LIVE. 20 IN WHICH TIME
AND COME INTO THE LAND WHICH I SHALL SHEW THEE. 4 THEN MOSES WAS BORN, AND WAS EXCEEDING FAIR, AND NOURISHED UP
CAME HE OUT OF THE LAND OF THE CHALDÆANS, AND DWELT IN IN HIS FATHER’S HOUSE THREE MONTHS: 21 AND WHEN HE WAS
CHARRAN: AND FROM THENCE, WHEN HIS FATHER WAS DEAD, HE CAST OUT, PHARAOH’S DAUGHTER TOOK HIM UP, AND NOURISHED
REMOVED HIM INTO THIS LAND, WHEREIN YE NOW DWELL. 5 AND HIM FOR HER OWN SON. 22 AND MOSES WAS LEARNED IN ALL THE

HIM FOR A POSSESSION, AND TO HIS SEED AFTER HIM, WHEN AS YET INTO HIS HEART TO VISIT HIS BRETHREN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
HE HAD NO CHILD. 6 AND GOD SPAKE ON THIS WISE, THAT HIS SEED 24 AND SEEING ONE OF THEM SUFFER WRONG, HE DEFENDED HIM,

HUNDRED YEARS. 7 AND THE NATION TO WHOM THEY SHALL BE IN UNDERSTOOD HOW THAT GOD BY HIS HAND WOULD DELIVER THEM:
BONDAGE WILL I JUDGE, SAID GOD: AND AFTER THAT SHALL THEY BUT THEY UNDERSTOOD NOT. 26 AND THE NEXT DAY HE SHEWED
COME FORTH, AND SERVE ME IN THIS PLACE. 8 AND HE GAVE HIM HIMSELF UNTO THEM AS THEY STROVE, AND WOULD HAVE SET
THE COVENANT OF CIRCUMCISION: AND SO ABRAHAM BEGAT ISAAC, THEM AT ONE AGAIN, SAYING, SIRS, YE ARE BRETHREN; WHY DO YE
AND CIRCUMCISED HIM THE EIGHTH DAY; AND ISAAC BEGAT JACOB; WRONG ONE TO ANOTHER? 27 BUT HE THAT DID HIS NEIGHBOUR
AND JACOB BEGAT THE TWELVE PATRIARCHS. 9 AND THE WRONG THRUST HIM AWAY, SAYING, WHO MADE THEE A RULER AND
PATRIARCHS, MOVED WITH ENVY, SOLD JOSEPH INTO EGYPT: BUT A JUDGE OVER US? 28 WILT THOU KILL ME, AS THOU DIDDEST THE

KNOWN UNTO PHARAOH. 14 THEN SENT JOSEPH, AND CALLED HIS AND DURST NOT BEHOLD. 33 THEN SAID THE LORD TO HIM, PUT OFF
FATHER JACOB TO HIM, AND ALL HIS KINDRED, THREESCORE AND THY SHOES FROM THY FEET: FOR THE PLACE WHERE THOU

CHAMBER: AND ALL THE WIDOWS STOOD BY HIM WEEPING, AND
SHEWING THE COATS AND GARMENTS WHICH DORCAS MADE,

MORROW, AS THEY WENT ON THEIR JOURNEY, AND DREW NIGH WITH HIM, HE WENT IN, AND FOUND MANY THAT WERE COME
UNTO THE CITY, PETER WENT UP UPON THE HOUSETOP TO PRAY TOGETHER. 28 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, YE KNOW HOW THAT IT IS

PERSONS: 35 BUT IN EVERY NATION HE THAT FEARETH HIM, AND
WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, IS ACCEPTED WITH HIM. 36 THE WORD
WHICH GOD SENT UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, PREACHING
PEACE BY JESUS CHRIST: (HE IS LORD OF ALL:) 37 THAT WORD, I SAY,
YE KNOW, WHICH WAS PUBLISHED THROUGHOUT ALL JUDÆA, AND
BEGAN FROM GALILEE, AFTER THE BAPTISM WHICH JOHN
PREACHED; 38 HOW GOD ANOINTED JESUS OF NAZARETH WITH THE
HOLY GHOST AND WITH POWER: WHO WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD,
AND HEALING ALL THAT WERE OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL; FOR GOD
WAS WITH HIM. 39 AND WE ARE WITNESSES OF ALL THINGS WHICH
HE DID BOTH IN THE LAND OF THE JEWS, AND IN JERUSALEM;
WHOM THEY SLEW AND HANGED ON A TREE: 40 HIM GOD RAISED
UP THE THIRD DAY, AND SHEWED HIM OPENLY; 41 NOT TO ALL THE
PEOPLE, BUT UNTO WITNESSES CHOSEN BEFORE OF GOD, EVEN TO
US, WHO DID EAT AND DRINK WITH HIM AFTER HE ROSE FROM THE
DEAD. 42 AND HE COMMANDED US TO PREACH UNTO THE PEOPLE,
AND TO TESTIFY THAT IT IS HE WHICH WAS ORDAINED OF GOD TO
BE THE JUDGE OF QUICK AND DEAD. 43 TO HIM GIVE ALL THE
PROPHETS WITNESS, THAT THROUGH HIS NAME WHOSOEVER
BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL RECEIVE REMISSION OF SINS. 44 WHILE
PETER YET SPAKE THESE WORDS, THE HOLY GHOST FELL ON ALL
THEM WHICH HEARD THE WORD. 45 AND THEY OF THE
CIRCUMCISION WHICH BELIEVED WERE ASTONISHED, AS MANY AS
CAME WITH PETER, BECAUSE THAT ON THE GENTILES ALSO WAS
POURED OUT THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. 46 FOR THEY HEARD
THEM SPEAK WITH TONGUES, AND MAGNIFY GOD. THEN ANSWERED
PETER, 47 CAN ANY MAN FORBID WATER, THAT THESE SHOULD NOT
BE BAPTIZED, WHICH HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST AS WELL AS
WE? 48 AND HE COMMANDED THEM TO BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME

4 BUT PETER REHEARSED THE MATTER FROM THE BEGINNING, AND LORD WAS WITH THEM: AND A GREAT NUMBER BELIEVED, AND
EXPOUNDED IT BY ORDER UNTO THEM, SAYING, 5 I WAS IN THE CITY TURNED UNTO THE LORD. 22 THEN TIDINGS OF THESE THINGS CAME
OF JOPPA PRAYING: AND IN A TRANCE I SAW A VISION, A CERTAIN UNTO THE EARS OF THE CHURCH WHICH WAS IN JERUSALEM: AND
VESSEL DESCEND, AS IT HAD BEEN A GREAT SHEET, LET DOWN FROM THEY SENT FORTH BARNABAS, THAT HE SHOULD GO AS FAR AS
HEAVEN BY FOUR CORNERS; AND IT CAME EVEN TO ME: 6 UPON THE ANTIOCH. 23 WHO, WHEN HE CAME, AND HAD SEEN THE GRACE OF
WHICH WHEN I HAD FASTENED MINE EYES, I CONSIDERED, AND GOD, WAS GLAD, AND EXHORTED THEM ALL, THAT WITH PURPOSE
SAW FOURFOOTED BEASTS OF THE EARTH, AND WILD BEASTS, AND OF HEART THEY WOULD CLEAVE UNTO THE LORD. 24 FOR HE WAS A
CREEPING THINGS, AND FOWLS OF THE AIR. 7 AND I HEARD A VOICE GOOD MAN, AND FULL OF THE HOLY GHOST AND OF FAITH: AND
SAYING UNTO ME, ARISE, PETER; SLAY AND EAT. 8 BUT I SAID, NOT MUCH PEOPLE WAS ADDED UNTO THE LORD. 25 THEN DEPARTED
SO, LORD: FOR NOTHING COMMON OR UNCLEAN HATH AT ANY TIME BARNABAS TO TARSUS, FOR TO SEEK SAUL: 26 AND WHEN HE HAD
ENTERED INTO MY MOUTH. 9 BUT THE VOICE ANSWERED ME AGAIN FOUND HIM, HE BROUGHT HIM UNTO ANTIOCH. AND IT CAME TO
FROM HEAVEN, WHAT GOD HATH CLEANSED, THAT CALL NOT THOU PASS, THAT A WHOLE YEAR THEY ASSEMBLED THEMSELVES WITH
COMMON. 10 AND THIS WAS DONE THREE TIMES: AND ALL WERE THE CHURCH, AND TAUGHT MUCH PEOPLE. AND THE DISCIPLES
DRAWN UP AGAIN INTO HEAVEN. 11 AND, BEHOLD, IMMEDIATELY WERE CALLED CHRISTIANS FIRST IN ANTIOCH. 27 AND IN THESE
THERE WERE THREE MEN ALREADY COME UNTO THE HOUSE WHERE DAYS CAME PROPHETS FROM JERUSALEM UNTO ANTIOCH. 28 AND
I WAS, SENT FROM CÆSAREA UNTO ME. 12 AND THE SPIRIT BADE THERE STOOD UP ONE OF THEM NAMED AGABUS, AND SIGNIFIED BY
ME GO WITH THEM, NOTHING DOUBTING. MOREOVER THESE SIX THE SPIRIT THAT THERE SHOULD BE GREAT DEARTH THROUGHOUT
BRETHREN ACCOMPANIED ME, AND WE ENTERED INTO THE MAN’S ALL THE WORLD: WHICH CAME TO PASS IN THE DAYS OF CLAUDIUS
HOUSE: 13 AND HE SHEWED US HOW HE HAD SEEN AN ANGEL IN CÆSAR. 29 THEN THE DISCIPLES, EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS
HIS HOUSE, WHICH STOOD AND SAID UNTO HIM, SEND MEN TO ABILITY, DETERMINED TO SEND RELIEF UNTO THE BRETHREN
JOPPA, AND CALL FOR SIMON, WHOSE SURNAME IS PETER; 14 WHO WHICH DWELT IN JUDÆA: 30 WHICH ALSO THEY DID, AND SENT IT
SHALL TELL THEE WORDS, WHEREBY THOU AND ALL THY HOUSE TO THE ELDERS BY THE HANDS OF BARNABAS AND SAUL.
SHALL BE SAVED. 15 AND AS I BEGAN TO SPEAK, THE HOLY GHOST
FELL ON THEM, AS ON US AT THE BEGINNING. 16 THEN
REMEMBERED I THE WORD OF THE LORD, HOW THAT HE SAID, JOHN
INDEED BAPTIZED WITH WATER; BUT YE SHALL BE BAPTIZED WITH
THE HOLY GHOST. 17 FORASMUCH THEN AS GOD GAVE THEM THE
LIKE GIFT AS HE DID UNTO US, WHO BELIEVED ON THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST; WHAT WAS I, THAT I COULD WITHSTAND GOD? 18 WHEN
THEY HEARD THESE THINGS, THEY HELD THEIR PEACE, AND

CHAPTER 12 STOOD BEFORE THE GATE. 15 AND THEY SAID UNTO HER, THOU ART
MAD. BUT SHE CONSTANTLY AFFIRMED THAT IT WAS EVEN SO. THEN
NOW ABOUT THAT TIME HEROD THE KING STRETCHED FORTH HIS SAID THEY, IT IS HIS ANGEL. 16 BUT PETER CONTINUED KNOCKING:
HANDS TO VEX CERTAIN OF THE CHURCH. 2 AND HE KILLED JAMES AND WHEN THEY HAD OPENED THE DOOR, AND SAW HIM, THEY
THE BROTHER OF JOHN WITH THE SWORD. 3 AND BECAUSE HE SAW WERE ASTONISHED. 17 BUT HE, BECKONING UNTO THEM WITH THE
IT PLEASED THE JEWS, HE PROCEEDED FURTHER TO TAKE PETER HAND TO HOLD THEIR PEACE, DECLARED UNTO THEM HOW THE
ALSO. (THEN WERE THE DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.) 4 AND LORD HAD BROUGHT HIM OUT OF THE PRISON. AND HE SAID, GO
WHEN HE HAD APPREHENDED HIM, HE PUT HIM IN PRISON, AND SHEW THESE THINGS UNTO JAMES, AND TO THE BRETHREN. AND HE
DELIVERED HIM TO FOUR QUATERNIONS OF SOLDIERS TO KEEP HIM; DEPARTED, AND WENT INTO ANOTHER PLACE. 18 NOW AS SOON AS
INTENDING AFTER EASTER TO BRING HIM FORTH TO THE PEOPLE. 5 IT WAS DAY, THERE WAS NO SMALL STIR AMONG THE SOLDIERS,
PETER THEREFORE WAS KEPT IN PRISON: BUT PRAYER WAS MADE WHAT WAS BECOME OF PETER. 19 AND WHEN HEROD HAD SOUGHT
WITHOUT CEASING OF THE CHURCH UNTO GOD FOR HIM. 6 AND FOR HIM, AND FOUND HIM NOT, HE EXAMINED THE KEEPERS, AND
WHEN HEROD WOULD HAVE BROUGHT HIM FORTH, THE SAME COMMANDED THAT THEY SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH. AND HE WENT
NIGHT PETER WAS SLEEPING BETWEEN TWO SOLDIERS, BOUND DOWN FROM JUDÆA TO CÆSAREA, AND THERE ABODE. 20 AND
WITH TWO CHAINS: AND THE KEEPERS BEFORE THE DOOR KEPT THE HEROD WAS HIGHLY DISPLEASED WITH THEM OF TYRE AND SIDON:
PRISON. 7 AND, BEHOLD, THE ANGEL OF THE LORD CAME UPON HIM, BUT THEY CAME WITH ONE ACCORD TO HIM, AND, HAVING MADE
AND A LIGHT SHINED IN THE PRISON: AND HE SMOTE PETER ON THE BLASTUS THE KING’S CHAMBERLAIN THEIR FRIEND, DESIRED PEACE;
SIDE, AND RAISED HIM UP, SAYING, ARISE UP QUICKLY. AND HIS BECAUSE THEIR COUNTRY WAS NOURISHED BY THE KING’S
CHAINS FELL OFF FROM HIS HANDS. 8 AND THE ANGEL SAID UNTO COUNTRY. 21 AND UPON A SET DAY HEROD, ARRAYED IN ROYAL
HIM, GIRD THYSELF, AND BIND ON THY SANDALS. AND SO HE DID. APPAREL, SAT UPON HIS THRONE, AND MADE AN ORATION UNTO
AND HE SAITH UNTO HIM, CAST THY GARMENT ABOUT THEE, AND THEM. 22 AND THE PEOPLE GAVE A SHOUT, SAYING, IT IS THE VOICE
FOLLOW ME. 9 AND HE WENT OUT, AND FOLLOWED HIM; AND WIST OF A GOD, AND NOT OF A MAN. 23 AND IMMEDIATELY THE ANGEL
NOT THAT IT WAS TRUE WHICH WAS DONE BY THE ANGEL; BUT OF THE LORD SMOTE HIM, BECAUSE HE GAVE NOT GOD THE GLORY:
THOUGHT HE SAW A VISION. 10 WHEN THEY WERE PAST THE FIRST AND HE WAS EATEN OF WORMS, AND GAVE UP THE GHOST. 24 BUT
AND THE SECOND WARD, THEY CAME UNTO THE IRON GATE THAT THE WORD OF GOD GREW AND MULTIPLIED. 25 AND BARNABAS AND
LEADETH UNTO THE CITY; WHICH OPENED TO THEM OF HIS OWN SAUL RETURNED FROM JERUSALEM, WHEN THEY HAD FULFILLED
ACCORD: AND THEY WENT OUT, AND PASSED ON THROUGH ONE THEIR MINISTRY, AND TOOK WITH THEM JOHN, WHOSE SURNAME
STREET; AND FORTHWITH THE ANGEL DEPARTED FROM HIM. 11 AND WAS MARK.
WHEN PETER WAS COME TO HIMSELF, HE SAID, NOW I KNOW OF A
SURETY, THAT THE LORD HATH SENT HIS ANGEL, AND HATH
DELIVERED ME OUT OF THE HAND OF HEROD, AND FROM ALL THE
EXPECTATION OF THE PEOPLE OF THE JEWS. 12 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 PRAYING. 13 AND AS PETER KNOCKED
AT THE DOOR OF THE GATE, A DAMSEL CAME TO HEARKEN, NAMED
RHODA. 14 AND WHEN SHE KNEW PETER’S VOICE, SHE OPENED NOT

PROPHETS AND TEACHERS; AS BARNABAS, AND SIMEON THAT WAS AND BECKONING WITH HIS HAND SAID, MEN OF ISRAEL, AND YE
CALLED NIGER, AND LUCIUS OF CYRENE, AND MANAEN, WHICH HAD THAT FEAR GOD, GIVE AUDIENCE. 17 THE GOD OF THIS PEOPLE OF

THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD, AND FASTED, THE HOLY GHOST THEY DWELT AS STRANGERS IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND WITH AN
SAID, SEPARATE ME BARNABAS AND SAUL FOR THE WORK HIGH ARM BROUGHT HE THEM OUT OF IT. 18 AND ABOUT THE TIME
WHEREUNTO I HAVE CALLED THEM. 3 AND WHEN THEY HAD FASTED OF FORTY YEARS SUFFERED HE THEIR MANNERS IN THE
AND PRAYED, AND LAID THEIR HANDS ON THEM, THEY SENT THEM WILDERNESS. 19 AND WHEN HE HAD DESTROYED SEVEN NATIONS

CYPRUS. 5 AND WHEN THEY WERE AT SALAMIS, THEY PREACHED SPACE OF FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS, UNTIL SAMUEL THE
THE WORD OF GOD IN THE SYNAGOGUES OF THE JEWS: AND THEY PROPHET. 21 AND AFTERWARD THEY DESIRED A KING: AND GOD
HAD ALSO JOHN TO THEIR MINISTER. 6 AND WHEN THEY HAD GONE GAVE UNTO THEM SAUL THE SON OF CIS, A MAN OF THE TRIBE OF
THROUGH THE ISLE UNTO PAPHOS, THEY FOUND A CERTAIN BENJAMIN, BY THE SPACE OF FORTY YEARS. 22 AND WHEN HE HAD
SORCERER, A FALSE PROPHET, A JEW, WHOSE NAME WAS BAR- REMOVED HIM, HE RAISED UP UNTO THEM DAVID TO BE THEIR KING;
JESUS: 7 WHICH WAS WITH THE DEPUTY OF THE COUNTRY, SERGIUS TO WHOM ALSO HE GAVE TESTIMONY, AND SAID, I HAVE FOUND
PAULUS, A PRUDENT MAN; WHO CALLED FOR BARNABAS AND SAUL, DAVID THE SON OF JESSE, A MAN AFTER MINE OWN HEART, WHICH
AND DESIRED TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD. 8 BUT ELYMAS THE SHALL FULFIL ALL MY WILL. 23 OF THIS MAN’S SEED HATH GOD

AND ALL MISCHIEF, THOU CHILD OF THE DEVIL, THOU ENEMY OF THAT I AM? I AM NOT HE. BUT, BEHOLD, THERE COMETH ONE AFTER
ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS, WILT THOU NOT CEASE TO PERVERT THE ME, WHOSE SHOES OF HIS FEET I AM NOT WORTHY TO LOOSE. 26
RIGHT WAYS OF THE LORD? 11 AND NOW, BEHOLD, THE HAND OF MEN AND BRETHREN, CHILDREN OF THE STOCK OF ABRAHAM, AND
THE LORD IS UPON THEE, AND THOU SHALT BE BLIND, NOT SEEING WHOSOEVER AMONG YOU FEARETH GOD, TO YOU IS THE WORD OF
THE SUN FOR A SEASON. AND IMMEDIATELY THERE FELL ON HIM A THIS SALVATION SENT. 27 FOR THEY THAT DWELL AT JERUSALEM,
MIST AND A DARKNESS; AND HE WENT ABOUT SEEKING SOME TO AND THEIR RULERS, BECAUSE THEY KNEW HIM NOT, NOR YET THE
LEAD HIM BY THE HAND. 12 THEN THE DEPUTY, WHEN HE SAW VOICES OF THE PROPHETS WHICH ARE READ EVERY SABBATH DAY,
WHAT WAS DONE, BELIEVED, BEING ASTONISHED AT THE DOCTRINE THEY HAVE FULFILLED THEM IN CONDEMNING HIM. 28 AND
OF THE LORD. 13 NOW WHEN PAUL AND HIS COMPANY LOOSED THOUGH THEY FOUND NO CAUSE OF DEATH IN HIM, YET DESIRED
FROM PAPHOS, THEY CAME TO PERGA IN PAMPHYLIA: AND JOHN THEY PILATE THAT HE SHOULD BE SLAIN. 29 AND WHEN THEY HAD
DEPARTING FROM THEM RETURNED TO JERUSALEM. 14 BUT WHEN FULFILLED ALL THAT WAS WRITTEN OF HIM, THEY TOOK HIM DOWN
THEY DEPARTED FROM PERGA, THEY CAME TO ANTIOCH IN PISIDIA, FROM THE TREE, AND LAID HIM IN A SEPULCHRE. 30 BUT GOD
AND WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND SAT RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD: 31 AND HE WAS SEEN MANY DAYS OF

THEM WHICH CAME UP WITH HIM FROM GALILEE TO JERUSALEM, US, SAYING, I HAVE SET THEE TO BE A LIGHT OF THE GENTILES, THAT
WHO ARE HIS WITNESSES UNTO THE PEOPLE. 32 AND WE DECLARE THOU SHOULDEST BE FOR SALVATION UNTO THE ENDS OF THE
UNTO YOU GLAD TIDINGS, HOW THAT THE PROMISE WHICH WAS EARTH. 48 AND WHEN THE GENTILES HEARD THIS, THEY WERE GLAD,
MADE UNTO THE FATHERS, 33 GOD HATH FULFILLED THE SAME AND GLORIFIED THE WORD OF THE LORD: AND AS MANY AS WERE

MY SON, THIS DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE. 34 AND AS CONCERNING JEWS STIRRED UP THE DEVOUT AND HONOURABLE WOMEN, AND
THAT HE RAISED HIM UP FROM THE DEAD, NOW NO MORE TO THE CHIEF MEN OF THE CITY, AND RAISED PERSECUTION AGAINST
RETURN TO CORRUPTION, HE SAID ON THIS WISE, I WILL GIVE YOU PAUL AND BARNABAS, AND EXPELLED THEM OUT OF THEIR COASTS.
THE SURE MERCIES OF DAVID. 35 WHEREFORE HE SAITH ALSO IN 51 BUT THEY SHOOK OFF THE DUST OF THEIR FEET AGAINST THEM,
ANOTHER PSALM, THOU SHALT NOT SUFFER THINE HOLY ONE TO AND CAME UNTO ICONIUM. 52 AND THE DISCIPLES WERE FILLED
SEE CORRUPTION. 36 FOR DAVID, AFTER HE HAD SERVED HIS OWN WITH JOY, AND WITH THE HOLY GHOST.
GENERATION BY THE WILL OF GOD, FELL ON SLEEP, AND WAS LAID
UNTO HIS FATHERS, AND SAW CORRUPTION: 37 BUT HE, WHOM GOD
RAISED AGAIN, SAW NO CORRUPTION. 38 BE IT KNOWN UNTO YOU
THEREFORE, MEN AND BRETHREN, THAT THROUGH THIS MAN IS
PREACHED UNTO YOU THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS: 39 AND BY HIM
ALL THAT BELIEVE ARE JUSTIFIED FROM ALL THINGS, FROM WHICH
YE COULD NOT BE JUSTIFIED BY THE LAW OF MOSES. 40 BEWARE
THEREFORE, LEST THAT COME UPON YOU, WHICH IS SPOKEN OF IN
THE PROPHETS; 41 BEHOLD, YE DESPISERS, AND WONDER, AND
PERISH: FOR I WORK A WORK IN YOUR DAYS, A WORK WHICH YE
SHALL IN NO WISE BELIEVE, THOUGH A MAN DECLARE IT UNTO YOU.
42 AND WHEN THE JEWS WERE GONE OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE, THE
GENTILES BESOUGHT THAT THESE WORDS MIGHT BE PREACHED TO
THEM THE NEXT SABBATH. 43 NOW WHEN THE CONGREGATION WAS
BROKEN UP, MANY OF THE JEWS AND RELIGIOUS PROSELYTES
FOLLOWED PAUL AND BARNABAS: WHO, SPEAKING TO THEM,
PERSUADED THEM TO CONTINUE IN THE GRACE OF GOD. 44 AND THE
NEXT SABBATH DAY CAME ALMOST THE WHOLE CITY TOGETHER TO
HEAR THE WORD OF GOD. 45 BUT WHEN THE JEWS SAW THE
MULTITUDES, THEY WERE FILLED WITH ENVY, AND SPAKE AGAINST
THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE SPOKEN BY PAUL, CONTRADICTING
AND BLASPHEMING. 46 THEN PAUL AND BARNABAS WAXED BOLD,
AND SAID, IT WAS NECESSARY THAT THE WORD OF GOD SHOULD
FIRST HAVE BEEN SPOKEN TO YOU: BUT SEEING YE PUT IT FROM YOU,
AND JUDGE YOURSELVES UNWORTHY OF EVERLASTING LIFE, LO, WE
TURN TO THE GENTILES. 47 FOR SO HATH THE LORD COMMANDED

1374
 ACTS
ALL NATIONS TO WALK IN THEIR OWN WAYS. 17 NEVERTHELESS HE
CHAPTER 14 LEFT NOT HIMSELF WITHOUT WITNESS, IN THAT HE DID GOOD, AND
GAVE US RAIN FROM HEAVEN, AND FRUITFUL SEASONS, FILLING
AND IT CAME TO PASS IN ICONIUM, THAT THEY WENT BOTH OUR HEARTS WITH FOOD AND GLADNESS. 18 AND WITH THESE
TOGETHER INTO THE SYNAGOGUE OF THE JEWS, AND SO SPAKE, SAYINGS SCARCE RESTRAINED THEY THE PEOPLE, THAT THEY HAD
THAT A GREAT MULTITUDE BOTH OF THE JEWS AND ALSO OF THE NOT DONE SACRIFICE UNTO THEM. 19 AND THERE CAME THITHER
GREEKS BELIEVED. 2 BUT THE UNBELIEVING JEWS STIRRED UP THE CERTAIN JEWS FROM ANTIOCH AND ICONIUM, WHO PERSUADED
GENTILES, AND MADE THEIR MINDS EVIL AFFECTED AGAINST THE THE PEOPLE, AND, HAVING STONED PAUL, DREW HIM OUT OF THE
BRETHREN. 3 LONG TIME THEREFORE ABODE THEY SPEAKING CITY, SUPPOSING HE HAD BEEN DEAD. 20 HOWBEIT, AS THE
BOLDLY IN THE LORD, WHICH GAVE TESTIMONY UNTO THE WORD DISCIPLES STOOD ROUND ABOUT HIM, HE ROSE UP, AND CAME INTO
OF HIS GRACE, AND GRANTED SIGNS AND WONDERS TO BE DONE BY THE CITY: AND THE NEXT DAY HE DEPARTED WITH BARNABAS TO
THEIR HANDS. 4 BUT THE MULTITUDE OF THE CITY WAS DIVIDED: DERBE. 21 AND WHEN THEY HAD PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO THAT
AND PART HELD WITH THE JEWS, AND PART WITH THE APOSTLES. 5 CITY, AND HAD TAUGHT MANY, THEY RETURNED AGAIN TO LYSTRA,
AND WHEN THERE WAS AN ASSAULT MADE BOTH OF THE GENTILES, AND TO ICONIUM, AND ANTIOCH, 22 CONFIRMING THE SOULS OF
AND ALSO OF THE JEWS WITH THEIR RULERS, TO USE THEM THE DISCIPLES, AND EXHORTING THEM TO CONTINUE IN THE FAITH,
DESPITEFULLY, AND TO STONE THEM, 6 THEY WERE WARE OF IT, AND THAT WE MUST THROUGH MUCH TRIBULATION ENTER INTO
AND FLED UNTO LYSTRA AND DERBE, CITIES OF LYCAONIA, AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 23 AND WHEN THEY HAD ORDAINED THEM
UNTO THE REGION THAT LIETH ROUND ABOUT: 7 AND THERE THEY ELDERS IN EVERY CHURCH, AND HAD PRAYED WITH FASTING, THEY
PREACHED THE GOSPEL. 8 AND THERE SAT A CERTAIN MAN AT COMMENDED THEM TO THE LORD, ON WHOM THEY BELIEVED. 24
LYSTRA, IMPOTENT IN HIS FEET, BEING A CRIPPLE FROM HIS AND AFTER THEY HAD PASSED THROUGHOUT PISIDIA, THEY CAME
MOTHER’S WOMB, WHO NEVER HAD WALKED: 9 THE SAME HEARD TO PAMPHYLIA. 25 AND WHEN THEY HAD PREACHED THE WORD IN
PAUL SPEAK: WHO STEDFASTLY BEHOLDING HIM, AND PERCEIVING PERGA, THEY WENT DOWN INTO ATTALIA: 26 AND THENCE SAILED
THAT HE HAD FAITH TO BE HEALED, 10 SAID WITH A LOUD VOICE, TO ANTIOCH, FROM WHENCE THEY HAD BEEN RECOMMENDED TO
STAND UPRIGHT ON THY FEET. AND HE LEAPED AND WALKED. 11 THE GRACE OF GOD FOR THE WORK WHICH THEY FULFILLED. 27 AND
AND WHEN THE PEOPLE SAW WHAT PAUL HAD DONE, THEY LIFTED WHEN THEY WERE COME, AND HAD GATHERED THE CHURCH
UP THEIR VOICES, SAYING IN THE SPEECH OF LYCAONIA, THE GODS TOGETHER, THEY REHEARSED ALL THAT GOD HAD DONE WITH THEM,
ARE COME DOWN TO US IN THE LIKENESS OF MEN. 12 AND THEY AND HOW HE HAD OPENED THE DOOR OF FAITH UNTO THE GENTILES.
CALLED BARNABAS, JUPITER; AND PAUL, MERCURIUS, BECAUSE HE 28 AND THERE THEY ABODE LONG TIME WITH THE DISCIPLES.
WAS THE CHIEF SPEAKER. 13 THEN THE PRIEST OF JUPITER, WHICH
WAS BEFORE THEIR CITY, BROUGHT OXEN AND GARLANDS UNTO THE
GATES, AND WOULD HAVE DONE SACRIFICE WITH THE PEOPLE. 14
WHICH WHEN THE APOSTLES, BARNABAS AND PAUL, HEARD OF,
THEY RENT THEIR CLOTHES, AND RAN IN AMONG THE PEOPLE,
CRYING OUT, 15 AND SAYING, SIRS, WHY DO YE THESE THINGS? WE
ALSO ARE MEN OF LIKE PASSIONS WITH YOU, AND PREACH UNTO
YOU THAT YE SHOULD TURN FROM THESE VANITIES UNTO THE
LIVING GOD, WHICH MADE HEAVEN, AND EARTH, AND THE SEA, AND
ALL THINGS THAT ARE THEREIN: 16 WHO IN TIMES PAST SUFFERED

1375
 ACTS
TO TAKE OUT OF THEM A PEOPLE FOR HIS NAME. 15 AND TO THIS
CHAPTER 15 AGREE THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS; AS IT IS WRITTEN, 16 AFTER
THIS I WILL RETURN, AND WILL BUILD AGAIN THE TABERNACLE OF
AND CERTAIN MEN WHICH CAME DOWN FROM JUDÆA TAUGHT THE DAVID, WHICH IS FALLEN DOWN; AND I WILL BUILD AGAIN THE
BRETHREN, AND SAID, EXCEPT YE BE CIRCUMCISED AFTER THE RUINS THEREOF, AND I WILL SET IT UP: 17 THAT THE RESIDUE OF
MANNER OF MOSES, YE CANNOT BE SAVED. 2 WHEN THEREFORE MEN MIGHT SEEK AFTER THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES, UPON
PAUL AND BARNABAS HAD NO SMALL DISSENSION AND WHOM MY NAME IS CALLED, SAITH THE LORD, WHO DOETH ALL
DISPUTATION WITH THEM, THEY DETERMINED THAT PAUL AND THESE THINGS. 18 KNOWN UNTO GOD ARE ALL HIS WORKS FROM
BARNABAS, AND CERTAIN OTHER OF THEM, SHOULD GO UP TO THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD. 19 WHEREFORE MY SENTENCE IS,
JERUSALEM UNTO THE APOSTLES AND ELDERS ABOUT THIS THAT WE TROUBLE NOT THEM, WHICH FROM AMONG THE GENTILES
QUESTION. 3 AND BEING BROUGHT ON THEIR WAY BY THE CHURCH, ARE TURNED TO GOD: 20 BUT THAT WE WRITE UNTO THEM, THAT
THEY PASSED THROUGH PHENICE AND SAMARIA, DECLARING THE THEY ABSTAIN FROM POLLUTIONS OF IDOLS, AND FROM
CONVERSION OF THE GENTILES: AND THEY CAUSED GREAT JOY UNTO FORNICATION, AND FROM THINGS STRANGLED, AND FROM BLOOD.
ALL THE BRETHREN. 4 AND WHEN THEY WERE COME TO JERUSALEM, 21 FOR MOSES OF OLD TIME HATH IN EVERY CITY THEM THAT
THEY WERE RECEIVED OF THE CHURCH, AND OF THE APOSTLES AND PREACH HIM, BEING READ IN THE SYNAGOGUES EVERY SABBATH
ELDERS, AND THEY DECLARED ALL THINGS THAT GOD HAD DONE DAY. 22 THEN PLEASED IT THE APOSTLES AND ELDERS, WITH THE
WITH THEM. 5 BUT THERE ROSE UP CERTAIN OF THE SECT OF THE WHOLE CHURCH, TO SEND CHOSEN MEN OF THEIR OWN COMPANY
PHARISEES WHICH BELIEVED, SAYING, THAT IT WAS NEEDFUL TO TO ANTIOCH WITH PAUL AND BARNABAS; NAMELY, JUDAS
CIRCUMCISE THEM, AND TO COMMAND THEM TO KEEP THE LAW OF SURNAMED BARSABAS, AND SILAS, CHIEF MEN AMONG THE
MOSES. 6 AND THE APOSTLES AND ELDERS CAME TOGETHER FOR TO BRETHREN: 23 AND THEY WROTE LETTERS BY THEM AFTER THIS
CONSIDER OF THIS MATTER. 7 AND WHEN THERE HAD BEEN MUCH MANNER; THE APOSTLES AND ELDERS AND BRETHREN SEND
DISPUTING, PETER ROSE UP, AND SAID UNTO THEM, MEN AND GREETING UNTO THE BRETHREN WHICH ARE OF THE GENTILES IN
BRETHREN, YE KNOW HOW THAT A GOOD WHILE AGO GOD MADE ANTIOCH AND SYRIA AND CILICIA: 24 FORASMUCH AS WE HAVE
CHOICE AMONG US, THAT THE GENTILES BY MY MOUTH SHOULD HEARD, THAT CERTAIN WHICH WENT OUT FROM US HAVE TROUBLED
HEAR THE WORD OF THE GOSPEL, AND BELIEVE. 8 AND GOD, WHICH YOU WITH WORDS, SUBVERTING YOUR SOULS, SAYING, YE MUST BE
KNOWETH THE HEARTS, BARE THEM WITNESS, GIVING THEM THE CIRCUMCISED, AND KEEP THE LAW: TO WHOM WE GAVE NO SUCH
HOLY GHOST, EVEN AS HE DID UNTO US; 9 AND PUT NO DIFFERENCE COMMANDMENT: 25 IT SEEMED GOOD UNTO US, BEING ASSEMBLED
BETWEEN US AND THEM, PURIFYING THEIR HEARTS BY FAITH. 10 WITH ONE ACCORD, TO SEND CHOSEN MEN UNTO YOU WITH OUR
NOW THEREFORE WHY TEMPT YE GOD, TO PUT A YOKE UPON THE BELOVED BARNABAS AND PAUL, 26 MEN THAT HAVE HAZARDED
NECK OF THE DISCIPLES, WHICH NEITHER OUR FATHERS NOR WE THEIR LIVES FOR THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. 27 WE
WERE ABLE TO BEAR? 11 BUT WE BELIEVE THAT THROUGH THE HAVE SENT THEREFORE JUDAS AND SILAS, WHO SHALL ALSO TELL
GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WE SHALL BE SAVED, EVEN AS YOU THE SAME THINGS BY MOUTH. 28 FOR IT SEEMED GOOD TO THE
THEY. 12 THEN ALL THE MULTITUDE KEPT SILENCE, AND GAVE HOLY GHOST, AND TO US, TO LAY UPON YOU NO GREATER BURDEN
AUDIENCE TO BARNABAS AND PAUL, DECLARING WHAT MIRACLES THAN THESE NECESSARY THINGS; 29 THAT YE ABSTAIN FROM MEATS
AND WONDERS GOD HAD WROUGHT AMONG THE GENTILES BY THEM. OFFERED TO IDOLS, AND FROM BLOOD, AND FROM THINGS
13 AND AFTER THEY HAD HELD THEIR PEACE, JAMES ANSWERED, STRANGLED, AND FROM FORNICATION: FROM WHICH IF YE KEEP
SAYING, MEN AND BRETHREN, HEARKEN UNTO ME: 14 SIMEON YOURSELVES, YE SHALL DO WELL. FARE YE WELL. 30 SO WHEN THEY
HATH DECLARED HOW GOD AT THE FIRST DID VISIT THE GENTILES, WERE DISMISSED, THEY CAME TO ANTIOCH: AND WHEN THEY HAD

1376
 ACTS
GATHERED THE MULTITUDE TOGETHER, THEY DELIVERED THE
EPISTLE: 31 WHICH WHEN THEY HAD READ, THEY REJOICED FOR THE
CONSOLATION. 32 AND JUDAS AND SILAS, BEING PROPHETS ALSO
THEMSELVES, EXHORTED THE BRETHREN WITH MANY WORDS, AND
CONFIRMED THEM. 33 AND AFTER THEY HAD TARRIED THERE A
SPACE, THEY WERE LET GO IN PEACE FROM THE BRETHREN UNTO
THE APOSTLES. 34 NOTWITHSTANDING IT PLEASED SILAS TO ABIDE
THERE STILL. 35 PAUL ALSO AND BARNABAS CONTINUED IN
ANTIOCH, TEACHING AND PREACHING THE WORD OF THE LORD,
WITH MANY OTHERS ALSO. 36 AND SOME DAYS AFTER PAUL SAID
UNTO BARNABAS, LET US GO AGAIN AND VISIT OUR BRETHREN IN
EVERY CITY WHERE WE HAVE PREACHED THE WORD OF THE LORD,
AND SEE HOW THEY DO. 37 AND BARNABAS DETERMINED TO TAKE
WITH THEM JOHN, WHOSE SURNAME WAS MARK. 38 BUT PAUL
THOUGHT NOT GOOD TO TAKE HIM WITH THEM, WHO DEPARTED
FROM THEM FROM PAMPHYLIA, AND WENT NOT WITH THEM TO THE
WORK. 39 AND THE CONTENTION WAS SO SHARP BETWEEN THEM,
THAT THEY DEPARTED ASUNDER ONE FROM THE OTHER: AND SO
BARNABAS TOOK MARK, AND SAILED UNTO CYPRUS; 40 AND PAUL
CHOSE SILAS, AND DEPARTED, BEING RECOMMENDED BY THE
BRETHREN UNTO THE GRACE OF GOD. 41 AND HE WENT THROUGH
SYRIA AND CILICIA, CONFIRMING THE CHURCHES.

THAT WERE AT LYSTRA AND ICONIUM. 3 HIM WOULD PAUL HAVE TO 18 AND THIS DID SHE MANY DAYS. BUT PAUL, BEING GRIEVED,
GO FORTH WITH HIM; AND TOOK AND CIRCUMCISED HIM BECAUSE TURNED AND SAID TO THE SPIRIT, I COMMAND THEE IN THE NAME
OF THE JEWS WHICH WERE IN THOSE QUARTERS: FOR THEY KNEW OF JESUS CHRIST TO COME OUT OF HER. AND HE CAME OUT THE
ALL THAT HIS FATHER WAS A GREEK. 4 AND AS THEY WENT SAME HOUR. 19 AND WHEN HER MASTERS SAW THAT THE HOPE OF
THROUGH THE CITIES, THEY DELIVERED THEM THE DECREES FOR TO THEIR GAINS WAS GONE, THEY CAUGHT PAUL AND SILAS, AND DREW
KEEP, THAT WERE ORDAINED OF THE APOSTLES AND ELDERS WHICH THEM INTO THE MARKETPLACE UNTO THE RULERS, 20 AND
WERE AT JERUSALEM. 5 AND SO WERE THE CHURCHES ESTABLISHED BROUGHT THEM TO THE MAGISTRATES, SAYING, THESE MEN, BEING
IN THE FAITH, AND INCREASED IN NUMBER DAILY. 6 NOW WHEN JEWS, DO EXCEEDINGLY TROUBLE OUR CITY, 21 AND TEACH
THEY HAD GONE THROUGHOUT PHRYGIA AND THE REGION OF CUSTOMS, WHICH ARE NOT LAWFUL FOR US TO RECEIVE, NEITHER
GALATIA, AND WERE FORBIDDEN OF THE HOLY GHOST TO PREACH TO OBSERVE, BEING ROMANS. 22 AND THE MULTITUDE ROSE UP
THE WORD IN ASIA, 7 AFTER THEY WERE COME TO MYSIA, THEY TOGETHER AGAINST THEM: AND THE MAGISTRATES RENT OFF THEIR
ASSAYED TO GO INTO BITHYNIA: BUT THE SPIRIT SUFFERED THEM CLOTHES, AND COMMANDED TO BEAT THEM. 23 AND WHEN THEY
NOT. 8 AND THEY PASSING BY MYSIA CAME DOWN TO TROAS. 9 AND HAD LAID MANY STRIPES UPON THEM, THEY CAST THEM INTO
A VISION APPEARED TO PAUL IN THE NIGHT; THERE STOOD A MAN PRISON, CHARGING THE JAILOR TO KEEP THEM SAFELY: 24 WHO,
OF MACEDONIA, AND PRAYED HIM, SAYING, COME OVER INTO HAVING RECEIVED SUCH A CHARGE, THRUST THEM INTO THE INNER
MACEDONIA, AND HELP US. 10 AND AFTER HE HAD SEEN THE VISION, PRISON, AND MADE THEIR FEET FAST IN THE STOCKS. 25 AND AT
IMMEDIATELY WE ENDEAVOURED TO GO INTO MACEDONIA, MIDNIGHT PAUL AND SILAS PRAYED, AND SANG PRAISES UNTO GOD:
ASSUREDLY GATHERING THAT THE LORD HAD CALLED US FOR TO AND THE PRISONERS HEARD THEM. 26 AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS
PREACH THE GOSPEL UNTO THEM. 11 THEREFORE LOOSING FROM A GREAT EARTHQUAKE, SO THAT THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE PRISON
TROAS, WE CAME WITH A STRAIGHT COURSE TO SAMOTHRACIA, AND WERE SHAKEN: AND IMMEDIATELY ALL THE DOORS WERE OPENED,
THE NEXT DAY TO NEAPOLIS; 12 AND FROM THENCE TO PHILIPPI, AND EVERY ONE’S BANDS WERE LOOSED. 27 AND THE KEEPER OF
WHICH IS THE CHIEF CITY OF THAT PART OF MACEDONIA, AND A THE PRISON AWAKING OUT OF HIS SLEEP, AND SEEING THE PRISON
COLONY: AND WE WERE IN THAT CITY ABIDING CERTAIN DAYS. 13 DOORS OPEN, HE DREW OUT HIS SWORD, AND WOULD HAVE KILLED
AND ON THE SABBATH WE WENT OUT OF THE CITY BY A RIVER SIDE, HIMSELF, SUPPOSING THAT THE PRISONERS HAD BEEN FLED. 28 BUT
WHERE PRAYER WAS WONT TO BE MADE; AND WE SAT DOWN, AND PAUL CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, DO THYSELF NO HARM:
SPAKE UNTO THE WOMEN WHICH RESORTED THITHER. 14 AND A FOR WE ARE ALL HERE. 29 THEN HE CALLED FOR A LIGHT, AND
CERTAIN WOMAN NAMED LYDIA, A SELLER OF PURPLE, OF THE CITY SPRANG IN, AND CAME TREMBLING, AND FELL DOWN BEFORE PAUL
OF THYATIRA, WHICH WORSHIPPED GOD, HEARD US: WHOSE HEART AND SILAS, 30 AND BROUGHT THEM OUT, AND SAID, SIRS, WHAT
THE LORD OPENED, THAT SHE ATTENDED UNTO THE THINGS WHICH MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 AND THEY SAID, BELIEVE ON THE LORD

HER HOUSEHOLD, SHE BESOUGHT US, SAYING, IF YE HAVE JUDGED AND THEY SPAKE UNTO HIM THE WORD OF THE LORD, AND TO ALL

THAT WERE IN HIS HOUSE. 33 AND HE TOOK THEM THE SAME HOUR
OF THE NIGHT, AND WASHED THEIR STRIPES; AND WAS BAPTIZED,
HE AND ALL HIS, STRAIGHTWAY. 34 AND WHEN HE HAD BROUGHT
THEM INTO HIS HOUSE, HE SET MEAT BEFORE THEM, AND REJOICED,
BELIEVING IN GOD WITH ALL HIS HOUSE. 35 AND WHEN IT WAS DAY,
THE MAGISTRATES SENT THE SERJEANTS, SAYING, LET THOSE MEN
GO. 36 AND THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON TOLD THIS SAYING TO PAUL,
THE MAGISTRATES HAVE SENT TO LET YOU GO: NOW THEREFORE
DEPART, AND GO IN PEACE. 37 BUT PAUL SAID UNTO THEM, THEY
HAVE BEATEN US OPENLY UNCONDEMNED, BEING ROMANS, AND
HAVE CAST US INTO PRISON; AND NOW DO THEY THRUST US OUT
PRIVILY? NAY VERILY; BUT LET THEM COME THEMSELVES AND
FETCH US OUT. 38 AND THE SERJEANTS TOLD THESE WORDS UNTO
THE MAGISTRATES: AND THEY FEARED, WHEN THEY HEARD THAT
THEY WERE ROMANS. 39 AND THEY CAME AND BESOUGHT THEM,
AND BROUGHT THEM OUT, AND DESIRED THEM TO DEPART OUT OF
THE CITY. 40 AND THEY WENT OUT OF THE PRISON, AND ENTERED
INTO THE HOUSE OF LYDIA: AND WHEN THEY HAD SEEN THE
BRETHREN, THEY COMFORTED THEM, AND DEPARTED.

SYNAGOGUE OF THE JEWS: 2 AND PAUL, AS HIS MANNER WAS, WENT THEREFORE DISPUTED HE IN THE SYNAGOGUE WITH THE JEWS, AND
IN UNTO THEM, AND THREE SABBATH DAYS REASONED WITH THEM WITH THE DEVOUT PERSONS, AND IN THE MARKET DAILY WITH
OUT OF THE SCRIPTURES, 3 OPENING AND ALLEGING, THAT CHRIST THEM THAT MET WITH HIM. 18 THEN CERTAIN PHILOSOPHERS OF
MUST NEEDS HAVE SUFFERED, AND RISEN AGAIN FROM THE DEAD; THE EPICUREANS, AND OF THE STOICKS, ENCOUNTERED HIM. AND
AND THAT THIS JESUS, WHOM I PREACH UNTO YOU, IS CHRIST. 4 SOME SAID, WHAT WILL THIS BABBLER SAY? OTHER SOME, HE
AND SOME OF THEM BELIEVED, AND CONSORTED WITH PAUL AND SEEMETH TO BE A SETTER FORTH OF STRANGE GODS: BECAUSE HE
SILAS; AND OF THE DEVOUT GREEKS A GREAT MULTITUDE, AND OF PREACHED UNTO THEM JESUS, AND THE RESURRECTION. 19 AND
THE CHIEF WOMEN NOT A FEW. 5 BUT THE JEWS WHICH BELIEVED THEY TOOK HIM, AND BROUGHT HIM UNTO AREOPAGUS, SAYING,
NOT, MOVED WITH ENVY, TOOK UNTO THEM CERTAIN LEWD MAY WE KNOW WHAT THIS NEW DOCTRINE, WHEREOF THOU
FELLOWS OF THE BASER SORT, AND GATHERED A COMPANY, AND SPEAKEST, IS? 20 FOR THOU BRINGEST CERTAIN STRANGE THINGS
SET ALL THE CITY ON AN UPROAR, AND ASSAULTED THE HOUSE OF TO OUR EARS: WE WOULD KNOW THEREFORE WHAT THESE THINGS
JASON, AND SOUGHT TO BRING THEM OUT TO THE PEOPLE. 6 AND MEAN. 21 (FOR ALL THE ATHENIANS AND STRANGERS WHICH WERE
WHEN THEY FOUND THEM NOT, THEY DREW JASON AND CERTAIN THERE SPENT THEIR TIME IN NOTHING ELSE, BUT EITHER TO TELL,
BRETHREN UNTO THE RULERS OF THE CITY, CRYING, THESE THAT OR TO HEAR SOME NEW THING.) 22 THEN PAUL STOOD IN THE MIDST
HAVE TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN ARE COME HITHER ALSO; OF MARS’ HILL, AND SAID, YE MEN OF ATHENS, I PERCEIVE THAT IN
7 WHOM JASON HATH RECEIVED: AND THESE ALL DO CONTRARY TO ALL THINGS YE ARE TOO SUPERSTITIOUS. 23 FOR AS I PASSED BY,
THE DECREES OF CÆSAR, SAYING THAT THERE IS ANOTHER KING, AND BEHELD YOUR DEVOTIONS, I FOUND AN ALTAR WITH THIS
ONE JESUS. 8 AND THEY TROUBLED THE PEOPLE AND THE RULERS INSCRIPTION, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. WHOM THEREFORE YE
OF THE CITY, WHEN THEY HEARD THESE THINGS. 9 AND WHEN THEY IGNORANTLY WORSHIP, HIM DECLARE I UNTO YOU. 24 GOD THAT
HAD TAKEN SECURITY OF JASON, AND OF THE OTHER, THEY LET MADE THE WORLD AND ALL THINGS THEREIN, SEEING THAT HE IS

AND SILAS BY NIGHT UNTO BEREA: WHO COMING THITHER WENT WITH HANDS; 25 NEITHER IS WORSHIPPED WITH MEN’S HANDS, AS
INTO THE SYNAGOGUE OF THE JEWS. 11 THESE WERE MORE NOBLE THOUGH HE NEEDED ANY THING, SEEING HE GIVETH TO ALL LIFE,
THAN THOSE IN THESSALONICA, IN THAT THEY RECEIVED THE WORD AND BREATH, AND ALL THINGS; 26 AND HATH MADE OF ONE BLOOD
WITH ALL READINESS OF MIND, AND SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES ALL NATIONS OF MEN FOR TO DWELL ON ALL THE FACE OF THE
DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 THEREFORE MANY OF EARTH, AND HATH DETERMINED THE TIMES BEFORE APPOINTED,
THEM BELIEVED; ALSO OF HONOURABLE WOMEN WHICH WERE AND THE BOUNDS OF THEIR HABITATION; 27 THAT THEY SHOULD
GREEKS, AND OF MEN, NOT A FEW. 13 BUT WHEN THE JEWS OF SEEK THE LORD, IF HAPLY THEY MIGHT FEEL AFTER HIM, AND FIND
THESSALONICA HAD KNOWLEDGE THAT THE WORD OF GOD WAS HIM, THOUGH HE BE NOT FAR FROM EVERY ONE OF US: 28 FOR IN
PREACHED OF PAUL AT BEREA, THEY CAME THITHER ALSO, AND HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING; AS CERTAIN ALSO
STIRRED UP THE PEOPLE. 14 AND THEN IMMEDIATELY THE OF YOUR OWN POETS HAVE SAID, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING.
BRETHREN SENT AWAY PAUL TO GO AS IT WERE TO THE SEA: BUT 29 FORASMUCH THEN AS WE ARE THE OFFSPRING OF GOD, WE
SILAS AND TIMOTHEUS ABODE THERE STILL. 15 AND THEY THAT OUGHT NOT TO THINK THAT THE GODHEAD IS LIKE UNTO GOLD, OR

SILVER, OR STONE, GRAVEN BY ART AND MAN’S DEVICE. 30 AND THE
TIMES OF THIS IGNORANCE GOD WINKED AT; BUT NOW
COMMANDETH ALL MEN EVERY WHERE TO REPENT: 31 BECAUSE HE

IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BY THAT MAN WHOM HE HATH ORDAINED;
WHEREOF HE HATH GIVEN ASSURANCE UNTO ALL MEN, IN THAT HE
HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD. 32 AND WHEN THEY HEARD OF
THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, SOME MOCKED: AND OTHERS

PONTUS, LATELY COME FROM ITALY, WITH HIS WIFE PRISCILLA; HAVING SHORN HIS HEAD IN CENCHREA: FOR HE HAD A VOW. 19
(BECAUSE THAT CLAUDIUS HAD COMMANDED ALL JEWS TO DEPART AND HE CAME TO EPHESUS, AND LEFT THEM THERE: BUT HE
FROM ROME:) AND CAME UNTO THEM. 3 AND BECAUSE HE WAS OF HIMSELF ENTERED INTO THE SYNAGOGUE, AND REASONED WITH
THE SAME CRAFT, HE ABODE WITH THEM, AND WROUGHT: FOR BY THE JEWS. 20 WHEN THEY DESIRED HIM TO TARRY LONGER TIME
THEIR OCCUPATION THEY WERE TENTMAKERS. 4 AND HE REASONED WITH THEM, HE CONSENTED NOT; 21 BUT BADE THEM FAREWELL,
IN THE SYNAGOGUE EVERY SABBATH, AND PERSUADED THE JEWS SAYING, I MUST BY ALL MEANS KEEP THIS FEAST THAT COMETH IN

HOUSE JOINED HARD TO THE SYNAGOGUE. 8 AND CRISPUS, THE CAME TO EPHESUS. 25 THIS MAN WAS INSTRUCTED IN THE WAY OF
CHIEF RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE, BELIEVED ON THE LORD WITH THE LORD; AND BEING FERVENT IN THE SPIRIT, HE SPAKE AND
ALL HIS HOUSE; AND MANY OF THE CORINTHIANS HEARING TAUGHT DILIGENTLY THE THINGS OF THE LORD, KNOWING ONLY
BELIEVED, AND WERE BAPTIZED. 9 THEN SPAKE THE LORD TO PAUL THE BAPTISM OF JOHN. 26 AND HE BEGAN TO SPEAK BOLDLY IN THE

OPEN HIS MOUTH, GALLIO SAID UNTO THE JEWS, IF IT WERE A
MATTER OF WRONG OR WICKED LEWDNESS, O YE JEWS, REASON
WOULD THAT I SHOULD BEAR WITH YOU: 15 BUT IF IT BE A QUESTION
OF WORDS AND NAMES, AND OF YOUR LAW, LOOK YE TO IT; FOR I

PAUL HAVING PASSED THROUGH THE UPPER COASTS CAME TO AND MANY THAT BELIEVED CAME, AND CONFESSED, AND SHEWED
