| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains - The tops of hills or mountains seemed nearer heaven, the air was purer, the place more removed from the world. To worship the Unseen God upon them, was then the suggestion of natural feeling and of simple devotion. God Himself directed the typical sacrifice of Isaac to take place on a mountain; on that same mountain He commanded that the temple should be built; on a mountain, God gave the law; on a mountain was our Saviour transfigured; on a mountain was He crucified; from a mountain He ascended into heaven. Mountains and hills have accordingly often been chosen for Christian churches and monasteries. But the same natural feeling, misdirected, made them the places of pagan idolatry and pagan sins. The Pagan probably also chose for their star and planet-worship, mountains or large plains, as being the places from where the heavenly bodies might be seen most widely.
Being thus connected with idolatry and sin, God strictly forbade the worship on the high places, and (as is the case with so many of God's commandments) man practiced it as diligently as if He had commanded it. God had said, "Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations, which ye shall possess, served their gods upon the high mountains, and upon the hills and under every green tree" Deu 12:2. But "they set them up images and groves (rather images of Ashtaroth) in every high hill and under every green tree, and there they burnt incense in all the high place, as did the pagan whom the Lord carried away before them" Kg2 17:10-11. The words express, that this which God forbade they did diligently; "they sacrificed much and diligently; they burned incense much and diligently" ; and that, not here and there, but generally, "on the tops of the mountains," and, as it were, in the open face of heaven. So also Ezekiel complains, "They saw every high hill and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their sweet savor, and poured out there their drink-offerings" Eze 20:28.
Under oaks - (white) poplars and elms (probably the terebinth or turpentine tree) because the shadow thereof is good The darkness of the shadow suited alike the cruel and the profligate deeds which were done in honor of their false gods. In the open face of day, and in secret they carried on their sin.
Therefore their daughters shall commit whoredoms, and their spouses - (or more probably, daughters-in-law) shall commit adultery Or (in the present) commit adultery. The fathers and husbands gave themselves to the abominable rites of Baal-peor and Ashtaroth, and so the daughters and daughters-in-law followed their example. This was by the permission of God, who, since they "glorified not" God as they ought, "gave them up," abandoned them, "to vile affections." So, through their own disgrace and bitter griefs, in the persons of those whose honor they most cherished, they should learn how ill they themselves had done, in departing from Him who is the Father and Husband of every soul. The sins of the fathers descend very often to the children, both in the way of nature, that the children inherit strong temptations to their parents' sin, and by way of example, that they greedily imitate, often exaggerate, them. Wouldest thou not have children, which thou wouldest wish unborn, reform thyself. The saying may include too sufferings at the hands of the enemy. "What thou dost willingly, that shall your daughters and your daughters-in-law suffer against thine and their will." |

| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| This whoredom is still further explained in the next verse. Hos 4:13. "They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and upon the hills they burn incense, under oak and poplar and terebinth, for their shadow is good; therefore your daughters commit whoredom, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery." Mountain-tops and hills were favourite places for idolatrous worship; because men thought, that there they were nearer to heaven and to the deity (see at Deu 12:2). From a comparison of these and other passages, e.g., Jer 2:20 and Jer 3:6, it is evident that the following words, "under oak," etc., are not to be understood as signifying that trees standing by themselves upon mountains and hills were selected as places for idolatrous worship; but that, in addition to mountains and hills, green shady trees in the plains and valleys were also chosen for this purpose. By the enumeration of the oak, the poplar (lı̄bhneh, the white poplar according to the Sept. in loc. and the Vulg. at Gen 37:30, or the storax-tree, as the lxx render it at Gen 37:30), and the terebinth, the frequent expression "under every green tree" (Deu 12:2; Kg1 14:23; Jer 2:20; Jer 3:6) is individualized. Such trees were selected because they gave a good shade, and in the burning lands of the East a shady place fills the mind with sacred awe. על־כּן, therefore, on that account, i.e., not because the shadow of the trees invites to it, but because the places for idolatrous worship erected on every hand presented an opportunity for it; therefore the daughters and daughters-in-law carried on prostitution there. The worship of the Canaanitish and Babylonian goddess of nature was associated with prostitution, and with the giving up of young girls and women (compare Movers, Phnizier, i. pp. 583, 595ff.). |

| Good - Convenient for the sacrificers. Shall commit whoredom - Shall dishonour themselves, and their families, with fornicators. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Under oaks - אלון allon, from אלל alal, he was strong. Hence, the oak, in Latin, is called robur; which word means also, strength, the oak being the strongest of all the trees of the forest.
The shadow thereof is good - Their "daughters committed whoredom, and their spouses committed adultery."
1. Their deities were worshipped by prostitution.
2. They drank much in their idol worship, Hos 4:11, and thus their passions became inflamed.
3. The thick groves were favorable to the whoredoms and adulteries mentioned here. In imitation of these, some nations have their public gardens. |
2 Ye shall utterly [06] destroy [06] all the places [04725], wherein the nations [01471] which [0834] ye shall possess [03423] served [05647] their gods [0430], upon the high [07311] mountains [02022], and upon the hills [01389], and under every green [07488] tree [06086]:
28 For when I had brought [0935] them into the land [0776], for the which I lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] to give [05414] it to them, then they saw [07200] every high [07311] hill [01389], and all the thick [05687] trees [06086], and they offered [02076] there their sacrifices [02077], and there they presented [05414] the provocation [03708] of their offering [07133]: there also they made [07760] their sweet [05207] savour [07381], and poured out [05258] there their drink offerings [05262].
10 And they set them up [05324] images [04676] and groves [0842] in every high [01364] hill [01389], and under every green [07488] tree [06086]:
11 And there they burnt incense [06999] in all the high places [01116], as did the heathen [01471] whom the LORD [03068] carried away [01540] before [06440] them; and wrought [06213] wicked [07451] things [01697] to provoke the LORD [03068] to anger [03707]:
2 Ye shall utterly [06] destroy [06] all the places [04725], wherein the nations [01471] which [0834] ye shall possess [03423] served [05647] their gods [0430], upon the high [07311] mountains [02022], and upon the hills [01389], and under every green [07488] tree [06086]:
1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] that came to Jeremiah [03414] concerning [01697] the dearth [01226].
14 And Jacob [03290] set up [05324] a pillar [04676] in the place [04725] where he talked [01696] with him, even a pillar [04678] of stone [068]: and he poured [05258] a drink offering [05262] thereon, and he poured [03332] oil [08081] thereon.
4 And [2532] they were [4130] all [537] filled [4130] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] began [756] to speak with [2980] other [2087] tongues [1100], as [2531] the Spirit [4151] gave [1325] them [846] utterance [669].
1 Paul [3972], and [2532] Silvanus [4610], and [2532] Timotheus [5095], unto the church [1577] of the Thessalonians [2331] which is in [1722] God [2316] the Father [3962] and [2532] in the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: Grace [5485] be unto you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962], and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
10 That in [1519] the dispensation [3622] of the fulness [4138] of times [2540] he might gather together in one [346] all things [3956] in [1722] Christ [5547], both [5037] which [3588] are in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] which [3588] are on [1909] earth [1093]; even in [1722] him [846]:
17 For [3754] the law [3551] was given [1325] by [1223] Moses [3475], but grace [5485] and [2532] truth [225] came [1096] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
8 And all the people [05971] answered [06030] together [03162], and said [0559], All that the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] we will do [06213]. And Moses [04872] returned [07725] the words [01697] of the people [05971] unto the LORD [03068].
1 Now the LORD [03068] had said [0559] unto Abram [087], Get thee out [03212] of thy country [0776], and from thy kindred [04138], and from thy father's [01] house [01004], unto a land [0776] that I will shew [07200] thee:
21 And the LORD [03068] smelled [07306] a sweet [05207] savour [07381]; and the LORD [03068] said [0559] in [0413] his heart [03820], I will not again [03254] curse [07043] the ground [0127] any more for man's [0120] sake [05668]; for the imagination [03336] of man's [0120] heart [03820] is evil [07451] from his youth [05271]; neither will I again [03254] smite [05221] any more every thing living [02416], as I have done [06213].
23 Therefore the LORD [03068] God [0430] sent him forth [07971] from the garden [01588] of Eden [05731], to till [05647] the ground [0127] from whence he was taken [03947].
10 And [2532] I heard [191] a loud [3173] voice [5456] saying [3004] in [1722] heaven [3772], Now [737] is come [1096] salvation [4991], and [2532] strength [1411], and [2532] the kingdom [932] of our [2257] God [2316], and [2532] the power [1849] of his [846] Christ [5547]: for [3754] the accuser [2723] of our [2257] brethren [80] is cast down [2598], which [3588] accused [2725] them [846] before [1799] our [2257] God [2316] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571].
17 For [3754] the law [3551] was given [1325] by [1223] Moses [3475], but grace [5485] and [2532] truth [225] came [1096] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
28 And God [0430] blessed [01288] them, and God [0430] said [0559] unto them, Be fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235], and replenish [04390] the earth [0776], and subdue it [03533]: and have dominion [07287] over the fish [01710] of the sea [03220], and over the fowl [05775] of the air [08064], and over every living thing [02416] that moveth [07430] upon the earth [0776].
28 And God [0430] blessed [01288] them, and God [0430] said [0559] unto them, Be fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235], and replenish [04390] the earth [0776], and subdue it [03533]: and have dominion [07287] over the fish [01710] of the sea [03220], and over the fowl [05775] of the air [08064], and over every living thing [02416] that moveth [07430] upon the earth [0776].
3 And the priest [03548] shall look [07200] on the plague [05061] in the skin [05785] of the flesh [01320]: and when the hair [08181] in the plague [05061] is turned [02015] white [03836], and the plague [05061] in sight [04758] be deeper [06013] than the skin [05785] of his flesh [01320], it is a plague [05061] of leprosy [06883]: and the priest [03548] shall look [07200] on him, and pronounce him unclean [02930].
2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], These [02063] are the beasts [02416] which ye shall eat [0398] among all the beasts [0929] that are on the earth [0776].
22 Many [4183] will say [2046] to me [3427] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250], Lord [2962], Lord [2962], have we [4395] not [3756] prophesied [4395] in thy [4674] name [3686]? and [2532] in thy [4674] name [3686] have cast out [1544] devils [1140]? and [2532] in thy [4674] name [3686] done [4160] many [4183] wonderful works [1411]?
1 These be the words [01697] which Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto all Israel [03478] on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] in the wilderness [04057], in the plain [06160] over against [04136] the Red [05489] sea, between Paran [06290], and Tophel [08603], and Laban [03837], and Hazeroth [02698], and Dizahab [01774].
5 To deliver [3860] such an one [5108] unto Satan [4567] for [1519] the destruction [3639] of the flesh [4561], that [2443] the spirit [4151] may be saved [4982] in [1722] the day [2250] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424].
13 Then I heard [08085] one [0259] saint [06918] speaking [01696], and another [0259] saint [06918] said [0559] unto that certain [06422] saint which spake [01696], How long shall be the vision [02377] concerning the daily [08548] sacrifice, and the transgression [06588] of desolation [08074], to give [05414] both the sanctuary [06944] and the host [06635] to be trodden under foot [04823]?
22 Many [4183] will say [2046] to me [3427] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250], Lord [2962], Lord [2962], have we [4395] not [3756] prophesied [4395] in thy [4674] name [3686]? and [2532] in thy [4674] name [3686] have cast out [1544] devils [1140]? and [2532] in thy [4674] name [3686] done [4160] many [4183] wonderful works [1411]?
1 A Song [07892] of degrees [04609]. I will lift up [05375] mine eyes [05869] unto the hills [02022], from whence [0370] cometh [0935] my help [05828].
25 Know [03045] therefore and understand [07919], that from the going forth [04161] of the commandment [01697] to restore [07725] and to build [01129] Jerusalem [03389] unto the Messiah [04899] the Prince [05057] shall be seven [07651] weeks [07620], and threescore [08346] and two [08147] weeks [07620]: the street [07339] shall be built [01129] again [07725], and the wall [02742], even in troublous [06695] times [06256].
6 Blessed [3107] and [2532] holy [40] is he that hath [2192] part [3313] in [1722] the first [4413] resurrection [386]: on [1909] such [5130] the second [1208] death [2288] hath [2192] no [3756] power [1849], but [235] they shall be [2071] priests [2409] of God [2316] and [2532] of Christ [5547], and [2532] shall reign [936] with [3326] him [846] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
7 And [2532] when [3752] the thousand [5507] years [2094] are expired [5055], Satan [4567] shall be loosed [3089] out of [1537] his [846] prison [5438],
8 And [2532] shall go out [1831] to deceive [4105] the nations [1484] which [3588] are in [1722] the four [5064] quarters [1137] of the earth [1093], Gog [1136] and [2532] Magog [3098], to gather [4863] them [846] together [4863] to [1519] battle [4171]: the number [706] of whom [3739] is as [5613] the sand [285] of the sea [2281].
9 And [2532] they went up [305] on [1909] the breadth [4114] of the earth [1093], and [2532] compassed [2944] the camp [3925] of the saints [40] about [2944], and [2532] the beloved [25] city [4172]: and [2532] fire [4442] came down [2597] from [575] God [2316] out of [1537] heaven [3772], and [2532] devoured [2719] them [846].
10 And [2532] the devil [1228] that deceived [4105] them [846] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303], where [3699] the beast [2342] and [2532] the false prophet [5578] are, and [2532] shall be tormented [928] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
11 And [2532] I saw [1492] a great [3173] white [3022] throne [2362], and [2532] him that sat [2521] on [1909] it [846], from [575] whose [3739] face [4383] the earth [1093] and [2532] the heaven [3772] fled away [5343]; and [2532] there was found [2147] no [3756] place [5117] for them [846].
12 And [2532] I saw [1492] the dead [3498], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173], stand [2476] before [1799] God [2316]; and [2532] the books [975] were opened [455]: and [2532] another [243] book [975] was opened [455], which [3739] is [2076] the book of life [2222]: and [2532] the dead [3498] were judged [2919] out of [1537] those things which were written [1125] in [1722] the books [975], according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
13 And [2532] the sea [2281] gave up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] it [846]; and [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] delivered up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] them [846]: and [2532] they were judged [2919] every man [1538] according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
14 And [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] were cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442]. This [3778] is [2076] the second [1208] death [2288].
11 He that hath [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191] what [5101] the Spirit [4151] saith [3004] unto the churches [1577]; He that overcometh [3528] shall [91] not [3364] be hurt [91] of [1537] the second [1208] death [2288].
8 But [1161] the fearful [1169], and [2532] unbelieving [571], and [2532] the abominable [948], and [2532] murderers [5406], and [2532] whoremongers [4205], and [2532] sorcerers [5332], and [2532] idolaters [1496], and [2532] all [3956] liars [5571], shall have their [846] part [3313] in [1722] the lake [3041] which [3588] burneth [2545] with fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303]: which is [3603] the second [1208] death [2288].
24 I said [2036] therefore [3767] unto you [5213], that [3754] ye shall die [599] in [1722] your [5216] sins [266]: for [1063] if [3362] ye believe [4100] not [3362] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he, ye shall die [599] in [1722] your [5216] sins [266].
21 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] again [3825] unto them [846], I [1473] go my way [5217], and [2532] ye shall seek [2212] me [3165], and [2532] shall die [599] in [1722] your [5216] sins [266]: whither [3699] I [1473] go [5217], ye [5210] cannot [3756] [1410] come [2064].
8 But [1161] the fearful [1169], and [2532] unbelieving [571], and [2532] the abominable [948], and [2532] murderers [5406], and [2532] whoremongers [4205], and [2532] sorcerers [5332], and [2532] idolaters [1496], and [2532] all [3956] liars [5571], shall have their [846] part [3313] in [1722] the lake [3041] which [3588] burneth [2545] with fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303]: which is [3603] the second [1208] death [2288].
13 And [2532] you [5209], being [5607] dead [3498] in [1722] your sins [3900] and [2532] the uncircumcision [203] of your [5216] flesh [4561], hath he quickened together [4806] with [4862] him [846], having forgiven [5483] you [5213] all [3956] trespasses [3900];
18 For [3754] through [1223] him [846] we [2192] both [297] have [2192] access [4318] by [1722] one [1520] Spirit [4151] unto [4314] the Father [3962].
19 Now [3767] therefore [686] ye are [2075] no more [3765] strangers [3581] and [2532] foreigners [3941], but [235] fellowcitizens [4847] with the saints [40], and [2532] of the household [3609] of God [2316];
4 But [1161] God [2316], who is [5607] rich [4145] in [1722] mercy [1656], for [1223] his [846] great [4183] love [26] wherewith [3739] he loved [25] us [2248],
1 And [2532] you [5209] hath he quickened, who were [5607] dead [3498] in trespasses [3900] and [2532] sins [266];
2 Wherein [1722] [3739] in time past [4218] ye walked [4043] according to [2596] the course [165] of this [5127] world [2889], according to [2596] the prince [758] of the power [1849] of the air [109], the spirit [4151] that now [3568] worketh [1754] in [1722] the children [5207] of disobedience [543]:
3 Among [1722] whom [3739] also [2532] we [2249] all [3956] had our conversation [390] in times past [4218] in [1722] the lusts [1939] of our [2257] flesh [4561], fulfilling [4160] the desires [2307] of the flesh [4561] and [2532] of the mind [1271]; and [2532] were [2258] by nature [5449] the children [5043] of wrath [3709], even [2532] as [5613] others [3062].
4 But [1161] God [2316], who is [5607] rich [4145] in [1722] mercy [1656], for [1223] his [846] great [4183] love [26] wherewith [3739] he loved [25] us [2248],
5 Even [2532] when we [2248] were [5607] dead [3498] in sins [3900], hath quickened us together with [4806] Christ [5547], (by grace [5485] ye are [2075] saved [4982]
24 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] He that heareth [191] my [3450] word [3056], and [2532] believeth [4100] on him that sent [3992] me [3165], hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222], and [2532] shall [2064] not [3756] come [2064] into [1519] condemnation [2920]; but [235] is passed [3327] from [1537] death [2288] unto [1519] life [2222].
24 For [3754] this [3778] my [3450] son [5207] was [2258] dead [3498], and [2532] is alive again [326]; [2532] he was [2258] lost [622], and [2532] is found [2147]. And [2532] they began [756] to be merry [2165].
22 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]; and [2532] let [863] the dead [3498] bury [2290] their [1438] dead [3498].
5 Even [2532] when we [2248] were [5607] dead [3498] in sins [3900], hath quickened us together with [4806] Christ [5547], (by grace [5485] ye are [2075] saved [4982]
17 But of the tree [06086] of the knowledge [01847] of good [02896] and evil [07451], thou shalt not eat [0398] of it: for in the day [03117] that thou eatest [0398] thereof thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191].
5 Even [2532] when we [2248] were [5607] dead [3498] in sins [3900], hath quickened us together with [4806] Christ [5547], (by grace [5485] ye are [2075] saved [4982]

10 And [2532] they cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004], How [2193] long [4219], O Lord [1203], holy [40] and [2532] true [228], dost thou [2919] not [3756] judge [2919] and [2532] avenge [1556] our [2257] blood [129] on [575] them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093]?
9 And [2532] when [3753] he had opened [455] the fifth [3991] seal [4973], I saw [1492] under [5270] the altar [2379] the souls [5590] of them that were slain [4969] for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] for [1223] the testimony [3141] which [3739] they held [2192]:
14 Knowing [1492] that [3754] shortly [5031] I must [2076] put off [595] this my [3450] tabernacle [4638], even [2532] as [2531] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] hath shewed [1213] me [3427].
13 Yea [1161], I think it [2233] meet [1342], as long as [1909] [3745] I am [1510] in [1722] this [5129] tabernacle [4638], to stir [1326] you [5209] up [1326] by [1722] putting you in remembrance [5280];
21 And [2532] you [5209], that were [5607] sometime [4218] alienated [526] and [2532] enemies [2190] in your mind [1271] by [1722] wicked [4190] works [2041], yet [1161] now [3570] hath he reconciled [604]
22 In [1722] the body [4983] of his [846] flesh [4561] through [1223] death [2288], to present [3936] you [5209] holy [40] and [2532] unblameable [299] and [2532] unreproveable [410] in his [846] sight [2714]:
23 If [1489] ye continue [1961] in the faith [4102] grounded [2311] and [2532] settled [1476], and [2532] be not [3361] moved away [3334] from [575] the hope [1680] of the gospel [2098], which [3739] ye have heard [191], and which [3588] was preached [2784] to [1722] every [3956] creature [2937] which is under [5259] heaven [3772]; whereof [3739] I [1473] Paul [3972] am made [1096] a minister [1249];
21 For [1063] to me [1698] to live [2198] is Christ [5547], and [2532] to die [599] is gain [2771].
22 But [1161] if [1487] I live [2198] in [1722] the flesh [4561], this [5124] is the fruit [2590] of my labour [2041] [3427]: yet [2532] what [5101] I shall choose [138] I wot [1107] not [3756].
23 For [1063] I am in a strait [4912] betwixt [1537] two [1417], having [2192] a desire [1939] to [1519] depart [360], and [2532] to be [1511] with [4862] Christ [5547]; which is far [4183] [3123] better [2908]:
1 For [1063] we know [1492] that [3754] if [1437] our [2257] earthly [1919] house [3614] of this tabernacle [4636] were dissolved [2647], we have [2192] a building [3619] of [1537] God [2316], an house [3614] not made with hands [886], eternal [166] in [1722] the heavens [3772].
2 For [2532] [1063] in [1722] this [5129] we groan [4727], earnestly desiring [1971] to be clothed upon [1902] with our [2257] house [3613] which [3588] is from [1537] heaven [3772]:
3 If [1489] so [2532] be that being clothed [1746] we shall [2147] not [3756] be found [2147] naked [1131].
4 For [2532] [1063] we that are [5607] in [1722] this tabernacle [4636] do groan [4727], being burdened [916]: not [3756] for that [1894] we would [2309] be unclothed [1562], but [235] clothed upon [1902], that [2443] mortality [2349] might be swallowed up [2666] of [5259] life [2222].
5 Now [1161] he that hath wrought [2716] us [2248] for [1519] the selfsame thing [846] [5124] is God [2316], who [3588] also [2532] hath given [1325] unto us [2254] the earnest [728] of the Spirit [4151].
6 Therefore [3767] [2532] we are always [3842] confident [2292], knowing [1492] that [3754], whilst we are at home [1736] in [1722] the body [4983], we are absent [1553] from [575] the Lord [2962]:
7 (For [1063] we walk [4043] by [1223] faith [4102], not [3756] by [1223] sight [1491]:)
8 We are confident [2292], I say, and [1161] [2532] willing [2106] rather [3123] to be absent [1553] from [1537] the body [4983], and [2532] to be present [1736] with [4314] the Lord [2962].
22 For [1063] as [5618] in [1722] Adam [76] all [3956] die [599], even [2532] so [3779] in [1722] Christ [5547] shall [2227] all [3956] be made alive [2227].
21 For [1063] since [1894] by [1223] man [444] came death [2288], by [1223] man [444] came also [2532] the resurrection [386] of the dead [3498].
12 Wherefore [1223] [5124], as [5618] by [1223] one [1520] man [444] sin [266] entered [1525] into [1519] the world [2889], and [2532] death [2288] by [1223] sin [266]; and [2532] so [3779] death [2288] passed [1330] upon [1519] all [3956] men [444], for [1909] that [3739] all [3956] have sinned [264]:
13 (For [1063] until [891] the law [3551] sin [266] was [2258] in [1722] the world [2889]: but [1161] sin [266] is [1677] not [3756] imputed [1677] when there is [5607] no [3361] law [3551].
14 Nevertheless [235] death [2288] reigned [936] from [575] Adam [76] to [3360] Moses [3475], even [2532] over [1909] them that had [264] not [3361] sinned [264] after [1909] the similitude [3667] of Adam's [76] transgression [3847], who [3739] is [2076] the figure [5179] of him that was to come [3195].
23 And [2532] in [1722] hell [86] he lift up [1869] his [846] eyes [3788], being [5225] in [1722] torments [931], and seeth [3708] Abraham [11] afar [3113] off [575], and [2532] Lazarus [2976] in [1722] his [846] bosom [2859].
22 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that the beggar [4434] died [599], and [2532] was carried [667] by [5259] the angels [32] into [1519] Abraham's [11] bosom [2859]: the rich man [4145] also [1161] [2532] died [599], and [2532] was buried [2290];
17 But of the tree [06086] of the knowledge [01847] of good [02896] and evil [07451], thou shalt not eat [0398] of it: for in the day [03117] that thou eatest [0398] thereof thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191].
6 But there went up [05927] a mist [0108] from [04480] the earth [0776], and watered [08248] the whole face [06440] of the ground [0127].
5 And every plant [07880] of the field [07704] before [02962] it was in the earth [0776], and every herb [06212] of the field [07704] before [02962] it grew [06779]: for [03588] the LORD [03068] God [0430] had not [03808] caused it to rain [04305] upon the earth [0776], and there was not [0369] a man [0120] to till [05647] the ground [0127].
5 And every plant [07880] of the field [07704] before [02962] it was in the earth [0776], and every herb [06212] of the field [07704] before [02962] it grew [06779]: for [03588] the LORD [03068] God [0430] had not [03808] caused it to rain [04305] upon the earth [0776], and there was not [0369] a man [0120] to till [05647] the ground [0127].
17 But of the tree [06086] of the knowledge [01847] of good [02896] and evil [07451], thou shalt not eat [0398] of it: for in the day [03117] that thou eatest [0398] thereof thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191].
27 And [2532] as [2596] [3745] it is appointed [606] unto men [444] once [530] to die [599], but [1161] after [3326] this [5124] the judgment [2920]:
19 In the sweat [02188] of thy face [0639] shalt thou eat [0398] bread [03899], till [05704] thou return [07725] unto the ground [0127]; for out of it wast thou taken [03947]: for dust [06083] thou [0859] art, and unto dust [06083] shalt thou return [07725].
27 And [2532] as [2596] [3745] it is appointed [606] unto men [444] once [530] to die [599], but [1161] after [3326] this [5124] the judgment [2920]:
10 Whatsoever thy hand [03027] findeth [04672] to do [06213], do [06213] it with thy might [03581]; for there is no work [04639], nor device [02808], nor knowledge [01847], nor wisdom [02451], in the grave [07585], whither thou goest [01980].
5 Yea also, because he transgresseth [0898] by wine [03196], he is a proud [03093] man [01397], neither keepeth at home [05115], who enlargeth [07337] his desire [05315] as hell [07585], and is as death [04194], and cannot be satisfied [07646], but gathereth [0622] unto him all nations [01471], and heapeth [06908] unto him all people [05971]:
1 Now gather [01413] thyself in troops [01416], O daughter [01323] of troops [01416]: he hath laid [07760] siege [04692] against us: they shall smite [05221] the judge [08199] of Israel [03478] with a rod [07626] upon the cheek [03895].
17 And [2532] it shall come to pass [2071] in [1722] the last [2078] days [2250], saith [3004] God [2316], I will pour out [1632] of [575] my [3450] Spirit [4151] upon [1909] all [3956] flesh [4561]: and [2532] your [5216] sons [5207] and [2532] your [5216] daughters [2364] shall prophesy [4395], and [2532] your [5216] young men [3495] shall see [3700] visions [3706], and [2532] your [5216] old men [4245] shall dream [1798] dreams [1797]:
12 Blessed [0835] is he that waiteth [02442], and cometh [05060] to the thousand [0505] three [07969] hundred [03967] and five [02568] and thirty [07970] days [03117].
5 And God [0430] called [07121] the light [0216] Day [03117], and the darkness [02822] he called [07121] Night [03915]. And the evening [06153] and the morning [01242] were the first [0259] day [03117].
2 To proclaim [07121] the acceptable [07522] year [08141] of the LORD [03068], and the day [03117] of vengeance [05359] of our God [0430]; to comfort [05162] all that mourn [057];
11 And [2532] I saw [1492] a great [3173] white [3022] throne [2362], and [2532] him that sat [2521] on [1909] it [846], from [575] whose [3739] face [4383] the earth [1093] and [2532] the heaven [3772] fled away [5343]; and [2532] there was found [2147] no [3756] place [5117] for them [846].
17 Herein [1722] [5129] is our [3326] [2257] love [26] made perfect [5048], that [2443] we may have [2192] boldness [3954] in [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920]: because [3754] as [2531] he [1565] is [2076], so [2532] are [2070] we [2249] in [1722] this [5129] world [2889].
7 And [2532] delivered [4506] just [1342] Lot [3091], vexed [2669] with [5259] the filthy [766] conversation [391] of [1722] the wicked [113]:
3 And [2532] through [1722] covetousness [4124] shall they with feigned [4112] words [3056] make merchandise [1710] of you [5209]: whose [3739] judgment [2917] now of a long time [1597] lingereth [691] not [3756], and [2532] their [846] damnation [684] slumbereth [3573] not [3756].
9 The Lord [2962] knoweth [1492] how to deliver [4506] the godly [2152] out of [1537] temptations [3986], and [1161] to reserve [5083] the unjust [94] unto [1519] the day [2250] of judgment [2920] to be punished [2849]:
27 And [2532] as [2596] [3745] it is appointed [606] unto men [444] once [530] to die [599], but [1161] after [3326] this [5124] the judgment [2920]:
31 Because [1360] he hath appointed [2476] a day [2250], in [1722] the which [3739] he will [3195] judge [2919] the world [3625] in [1722] righteousness [1343] by [1722] that man [435] whom [3739] he hath ordained [3724]; whereof he hath given [3930] assurance [4102] unto all [3956] men, in that he hath raised [450] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498].
30 I [1473] can [1410] of [575] mine own self [1683] do [4160] nothing [3756] [3762]: as [2531] I hear [191], I judge [2919]: and [2532] my [1699] judgment [2920] is [2076] just [1342]; because [3754] I seek [2212] not [3756] mine own [1699] will [2307], but [235] the will [2307] of the Father [3962] which hath sent [3992] me [3165].
27 And [2532] hath given [1325] him [846] authority [1849] to execute [4160] judgment [2920] also [2532], because [3754] he is [2076] the Son [5207] of man [444].
22 For [1063] [3761] the Father [3962] judgeth [2919] no man [3762], but [235] hath committed [1325] all [3956] judgment [2920] unto the Son [5207]:
32 And [1161] likewise [3668] [2532] a Levite [3019], when he was [1096] at [2596] the place [5117], came [2064] and [2532] looked [1492] on him, and passed by on the other side [492].
31 And [1161] by [2596] chance [4795] there came down [2597] a certain [5100] priest [2409] that [1722] [1565] way [3598]: and [2532] when he saw [1492] him [846], he passed by on the other side [492].
11 Even [2532] the very dust [2868] of [1537] your [5216] city [4172], which [3588] cleaveth [2853] on us [2254], we do wipe off [631] against you [5213]: notwithstanding [4133] be ye sure [1097] of this [5124], that [3754] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is come nigh [1448] unto [1909] you [5209].
14 But [4133] it shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605] at [1722] the judgment [2920], than [2228] for you [5213].
11 And [2532] whosoever [3745] [302] shall [1209] not [3361] receive [1209] you [5209], nor [3366] hear [191] you [5216], when ye depart [1607] thence [1564], shake off [1621] the dust [5522] under [5270] your [5216] feet [4228] for [1519] a testimony [3142] against them [846]. Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], It shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for Sodom [4670] and [2228] Gomorrha [1116] in [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920], than [2228] for that [1565] city [4172].

12 And [1161] from [575] the days [2250] of John [2491] the Baptist [910] until [2193] now [737] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] suffereth violence [971], and [2532] the violent [973] take [726] it [846] by force [726].
22 But [4133] I say [3004] unto you [5213], It shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605] at [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920], than [2228] for you [5213].
11 And [2532] I saw [1492] a great [3173] white [3022] throne [2362], and [2532] him that sat [2521] on [1909] it [846], from [575] whose [3739] face [4383] the earth [1093] and [2532] the heaven [3772] fled away [5343]; and [2532] there was found [2147] no [3756] place [5117] for them [846].
15 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], It shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for the land [1093] of Sodom [4670] and [2532] Gomorrha [1116] in [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920], than [2228] for that [1565] city [4172].
11 And [2532] I saw [1492] a great [3173] white [3022] throne [2362], and [2532] him that sat [2521] on [1909] it [846], from [575] whose [3739] face [4383] the earth [1093] and [2532] the heaven [3772] fled away [5343]; and [2532] there was found [2147] no [3756] place [5117] for them [846].
12 And [2532] to the angel [32] of the church [1577] in [1722] Pergamos [4010] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] he which hath [2192] the sharp [3691] sword [4501] with two edges [1366];
13 I know [1492] thy [4675] works [2041], and [2532] where [4226] thou dwellest [2730], even where [3699] Satan's [4567] seat [2362] is: and [2532] thou holdest fast [2902] my [3450] name [3686], and [2532] hast [720] not [3756] denied [720] my [3450] faith [4102], even [2532] in [1722] those days [2250] wherein [1722] [3739] Antipas [493] was my [3450] faithful [4103] martyr [3144], who [3739] was slain [615] among [3844] you [5213], where [3699] Satan [4567] dwelleth [2730].
14 But [235] I have [2192] a few things [3641] against [2596] thee [4675], because [3754] thou hast [2192] there [1563] them that hold [2902] the doctrine [1322] of Balaam [903], who [3739] taught [1722] [1321] Balac [904] to cast [906] a stumblingblock [4625] before [1799] the children [5207] of Israel [2474], to eat [5315] things sacrificed unto idols [1494], and [2532] to commit fornication [4203].
15 So [3779] hast [2192] thou [4771] also [2532] them that hold [2902] the doctrine [1322] of the Nicolaitans [3531], which thing [3739] I hate [3404].
16 Repent [3340]; or else [1490] I will come [2064] unto thee [4671] quickly [5035], and [2532] will fight [4170] against [3326] them [846] with [1722] the sword [4501] of my [3450] mouth [4750].
17 He that hath [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191] what [5101] the Spirit [4151] saith [3004] unto the churches [1577]; To him [846] that overcometh [3528] will I give [1325] to eat [5315] of [575] the hidden [2928] manna [3131], and [2532] will give [1325] him [846] a white [3022] stone [5586], and [2532] in [1909] the stone [5586] a new [2537] name [3686] written [1125], which [3739] no man [3762] knoweth [1097] saving [1508] he that receiveth [2983] it.
16 Repent [3340]; or else [1490] I will come [2064] unto thee [4671] quickly [5035], and [2532] will fight [4170] against [3326] them [846] with [1722] the sword [4501] of my [3450] mouth [4750].
12 And [2532] to the angel [32] of the church [1577] in [1722] Pergamos [4010] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] he which hath [2192] the sharp [3691] sword [4501] with two edges [1366];
13 I know [1492] thy [4675] works [2041], and [2532] where [4226] thou dwellest [2730], even where [3699] Satan's [4567] seat [2362] is: and [2532] thou holdest fast [2902] my [3450] name [3686], and [2532] hast [720] not [3756] denied [720] my [3450] faith [4102], even [2532] in [1722] those days [2250] wherein [1722] [3739] Antipas [493] was my [3450] faithful [4103] martyr [3144], who [3739] was slain [615] among [3844] you [5213], where [3699] Satan [4567] dwelleth [2730].
14 But [235] I have [2192] a few things [3641] against [2596] thee [4675], because [3754] thou hast [2192] there [1563] them that hold [2902] the doctrine [1322] of Balaam [903], who [3739] taught [1722] [1321] Balac [904] to cast [906] a stumblingblock [4625] before [1799] the children [5207] of Israel [2474], to eat [5315] things sacrificed unto idols [1494], and [2532] to commit fornication [4203].
15 So [3779] hast [2192] thou [4771] also [2532] them that hold [2902] the doctrine [1322] of the Nicolaitans [3531], which thing [3739] I hate [3404].
16 Repent [3340]; or else [1490] I will come [2064] unto thee [4671] quickly [5035], and [2532] will fight [4170] against [3326] them [846] with [1722] the sword [4501] of my [3450] mouth [4750].
17 He that hath [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191] what [5101] the Spirit [4151] saith [3004] unto the churches [1577]; To him [846] that overcometh [3528] will I give [1325] to eat [5315] of [575] the hidden [2928] manna [3131], and [2532] will give [1325] him [846] a white [3022] stone [5586], and [2532] in [1909] the stone [5586] a new [2537] name [3686] written [1125], which [3739] no man [3762] knoweth [1097] saving [1508] he that receiveth [2983] it.
6 But [235] this [5124] thou hast [2192], that [3754] thou hatest [3404] the deeds [2041] of the Nicolaitans [3531], which [3739] I also [2504] hate [3404].
27 And [2532] he shall rule [4165] them [846] with [1722] a rod [4464] of iron [4603]; as [5613] the vessels [4632] of a potter [2764] shall they be broken to shivers [4937]: even [2504] as [5613] I [2504] received [2983] of [3844] my [3450] Father [3962].
26 And [2532] he that overcometh [3528], and [2532] keepeth [5083] my [3450] works [2041] unto [891] the end [5056], to him [846] will I give [1325] power [1849] over [1909] the nations [1484]:
6 And [5037] the angels [32] which kept [5083] not [3361] their [1438] first estate [746], but [235] left [620] their own [2398] habitation [3613], he hath reserved [5083] in everlasting [126] chains [1199] under [5259] darkness [2217] unto [1519] the judgment [2920] of the great [3173] day [2250].
10 But [1161] the day [2250] of the Lord [2962] will come [2240] as [5613] a thief [2812] in [1722] the night [3571]; in [1722] the which [3739] the heavens [3772] shall pass away [3928] with a great noise [4500], and [1161] the elements [4747] shall melt [3089] with fervent heat [2741], the earth [1093] also [2532] and [2532] the works [2041] that are therein [1722] [846] shall be burned up [2618].
1 Now [1161] we beseech [2065] you [5209], brethren [80], by [5228] the coming [3952] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] by our [2257] gathering together [1997] unto [1909] him [846],
2 That [1519] ye [5209] be [4531] not [3361] soon [5030] shaken [4531] in [575] mind [3563], or [3383] be troubled [2360], neither [3383] by [1223] spirit [4151], nor [3383] by [1223] word [3056], nor [3383] by [1223] letter [1992] as [5613] from [1223] us [2257], as [5613] that [3754] the day [2250] of Christ [5547] is at hand [1764].
3 Let [1818] no [3361] man [5100] deceive [1818] you [5209] by [2596] any [3367] means [5158]: for [3754] that day shall not come, except [3362] there come [2064] a falling away [646] first [4412], and [2532] that man [444] of sin [266] be revealed [601], the son [5207] of perdition [684];
4 Who [3588] opposeth [480] and [2532] exalteth [5229] himself above [1909] all [3956] that is called [3004] God [2316], or [2228] that is worshipped [4574]; so [5620] that he [846] as [5613] God [2316] sitteth [2523] in [1519] the temple [3485] of God [2316], shewing [584] himself [1438] that [3754] he is [2076] God [2316].
5 Remember ye [3421] not [3756], that [3754], when I was [5607] yet [2089] with [4314] you [5209], I told [3004] you [5213] these things [5023]?
6 And [2532] now [3568] ye know [1492] what withholdeth [2722] that [1519] he [846] might be revealed [601] in [1722] his [1438] time [2540].
7 For [1063] the mystery [3466] of iniquity [458] doth [1754] already [2235] work [1754]: only [3440] he who now [737] letteth [2722] will let, until [2193] he be taken [1096] out of [1537] the way [3319].
8 And [2532] then [5119] shall [601] that Wicked [459] be revealed [601], whom [3739] the Lord [2962] shall consume [355] with the spirit [4151] of his [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] shall destroy [2673] with the brightness [2015] of his [846] coming [3952]:
1 But [1161] of [4012] the times [5550] and [2532] the seasons [2540], brethren [80], ye have [2192] no [3756] need [5532] that I write [1125] unto you [5213].
2 For [1063] yourselves [846] know [1492] perfectly [199] that [3754] the day [2250] of the Lord [2962] so [3779] cometh [2064] as [5613] a thief [2812] in [1722] the night [3571].
3 For [1063] when [3752] they shall say [3004], Peace [1515] and [2532] safety [803]; then [5119] sudden [160] destruction [3639] cometh upon [2186] them [846], as [5618] travail [5604] upon [1722] a woman with child [1064] [2192]; and [2532] they shall [1628] not [3364] escape [1628].
19 And [2532] I will shew [1325] wonders [5059] in [1722] heaven [3772] above [507], and [2532] signs [4592] in [1909] the earth [1093] beneath [2736]; blood [129], and [2532] fire [4442], and [2532] vapour [822] of smoke [2586]:
20 The sun [2246] shall be turned [3344] into [1519] darkness [4655], and [2532] the moon [4582] into [1519] blood [129], before [2228] [4250] that great [3173] and [2532] notable [2016] day [2250] of the Lord [2962] come [2064]:
31 And [2532] he shall send [649] his [846] angels [32] with [3326] a great [3173] sound [5456] of a trumpet [4536], and [2532] they shall gather together [1996] his [846] elect [1588] from [1537] the four [5064] winds [417], from [575] one end [206] of heaven [3772] to [2193] the other [206] [846].
32 Now [1161] learn [3129] a parable [3850] of [575] the fig tree [4808]; When [3752] his [846] branch [2798] is [1096] yet [2235] tender [527], and [2532] putteth forth [1631] leaves [5444], ye know [1097] that [3754] summer [2330] is nigh [1451]:
33 So [3779] likewise [2532] ye [5210], when [3752] ye shall see [1492] all [3956] these things [5023], know [1097] that [3754] it is [2076] near [1451], even at [1909] the doors [2374].
34 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], This [3778] generation [1074] shall not [3364] pass [3928], till [302] [2193] all [3956] these things [5023] be fulfilled [1096].
35 Heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1093] shall pass away [3928], but [1161] my [3450] words [3056] shall [3928] not [3364] pass away [3928].
36 But [1161] of [4012] that [1565] day [2250] and [2532] hour [5610] knoweth [1492] no [3762] man, no, not [3761] the angels [32] of heaven [3772], but [1508] my [3450] Father [3962] only [3441].
37 But [1161] as [5618] the days [2250] of Noe [3575] were, so [3779] shall [2071] also [2532] the coming [3952] of the Son [5207] of man [444] be [2071].
38 For [1063] as [5618] in [1722] the days [2250] that were [2258] before [4253] the flood [2627] they were eating [5176] and [2532] drinking [4095], marrying [1060] and [2532] giving in marriage [1547], until [891] the day [2250] that [3739] Noe [3575] entered [1525] into [1519] the ark [2787],
39 And [2532] knew [1097] not [3756] until [2193] the flood [2627] came [2064], and [2532] took [142] them all [537] away [142]; so [3779] shall [2071] also [2532] the coming [3952] of the Son [5207] of man [444] be [2071].
40 Then [5119] shall [2071] two [1417] be [2071] in [1722] the field [68]; the one [1520] shall be taken [3880], and [2532] the other [1520] left [863].
41 Two [1417] women shall be grinding [229] at [1722] the mill [3459]; the one [3391] shall be taken [3880], and [2532] the other [3391] left [863].
42 Watch [1127] therefore [3767]: for [3754] ye know [1492] not [3756] what [4169] hour [5610] your [5216] Lord [2962] doth come [2064].
43 But [1161] know [1097] this [1565], that [3754] if [1487] the goodman of the house [3617] had known [1492] in what [4169] watch [5438] the thief [2812] would come [2064], he would [302] have watched [1127], and [2532] would [302] not [3756] have suffered [1439] his [846] house [3614] to be broken up [1358].
44 Therefore [1223] [5124] be [1096] ye [5210] also [2532] ready [2092]: for [3754] in such [3739] an hour [5610] as ye think [1380] not [3756] the Son [5207] of man [444] cometh [2064].
45 Who [5101] then [686] is [2076] a faithful [4103] and [2532] wise [5429] servant [1401], whom [3739] his [846] lord [2962] hath made ruler [2525] over [1909] his [846] household [2322], to give [1325] them [846] meat [5160] in [1722] due season [2540]?
46 Blessed [3107] is that [1565] servant [1401], whom [3739] his [846] lord [2962] when he cometh [2064] shall find [2147] so [3779] doing [4160].
25 Behold [2400], I have told [4280] you [5213] before [4280].
29 Immediately [1161] [2112] after [3326] the tribulation [2347] of those [1565] days [2250] shall the sun [2246] be darkened [4654], and [2532] the moon [4582] shall [1325] not [3756] give [1325] her [846] light [5338], and [2532] the stars [792] shall fall [4098] from [575] heaven [3772], and [2532] the powers [1411] of the heavens [3772] shall be shaken [4531]:
30 And [2532] then [5119] shall appear [5316] the sign [4592] of the Son [5207] of man [444] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] then [5119] shall [2875] all [3956] the tribes [5443] of the earth [1093] mourn [2875], and [2532] they shall see [3700] the Son [5207] of man [444] coming [2064] in [1909] the clouds [3507] of heaven [3772] with [3326] power [1411] and [2532] great [4183] glory [1391].
31 And [2532] he shall send [649] his [846] angels [32] with [3326] a great [3173] sound [5456] of a trumpet [4536], and [2532] they shall gather together [1996] his [846] elect [1588] from [1537] the four [5064] winds [417], from [575] one end [206] of heaven [3772] to [2193] the other [206] [846].
1 For, behold, the day [03117] cometh [0935], that shall burn [01197] as an oven [08574]; and all the proud [02086], yea, and all that do [06213] wickedly [07564], shall be stubble [07179]: and the day [03117] that cometh [0935] shall burn them up [03857], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], that it shall leave [05800] them neither root [08328] nor branch [06057].
2 But unto you that fear [03373] my name [08034] shall the Sun [08121] of righteousness [06666] arise [02224] with healing [04832] in his wings [03671]; and ye shall go forth [03318], and grow up [06335] as calves [05695] of the stall [04770].
3 And ye shall tread down [06072] the wicked [07563]; for they shall be ashes [0665] under the soles [03709] of your feet [07272] in the day [03117] that I shall do [06213] this, saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635].
4 Remember [02142] ye the law [08451] of Moses [04872] my servant [05650], which I commanded [06680] unto him in Horeb [02722] for all Israel [03478], with the statutes [02706] and judgments [04941].
5 Behold, I will send [07971] you Elijah [0452] the prophet [05030] before [06440] the coming [0935] of the great [01419] and dreadful [03372] day [03117] of the LORD [03068]:
6 And he shall turn [07725] the heart [03820] of the fathers [01] to the children [01121], and the heart [03820] of the children [01121] to their fathers [01], lest I come [0935] and smite [05221] the earth [0776] with a curse [02764].
1 The burden [04853] of the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] for Israel [03478], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], which stretcheth [05186] forth the heavens [08064], and layeth the foundation [03245] of the earth [0776], and formeth [03335] the spirit [07307] of man [0120] within [07130] him.
2 Behold, I will make [07760] Jerusalem [03389] a cup [05592] of trembling [07478] unto all the people [05971] round about [05439], when they shall be in the siege [04692] both against Judah [03063] and against Jerusalem [03389].
3 And in that day [03117] will I make [07760] Jerusalem [03389] a burdensome [04614] stone [068] for all people [05971]: all that burden [06006] themselves with it shall be cut in pieces [08295] [08295], though all the people [01471] of the earth [0776] be gathered together [0622] against it.
4 In that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], I will smite [05221] every horse [05483] with astonishment [08541], and his rider [07392] with madness [07697]: and I will open [06491] mine eyes [05869] upon the house [01004] of Judah [03063], and will smite [05221] every horse [05483] of the people [05971] with blindness [05788].
5 And the governors [0441] of Judah [03063] shall say [0559] in their heart [03820], The inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] shall be my strength [0556] in the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] their God [0430].
6 In that day [03117] will I make [07760] the governors [0441] of Judah [03063] like an hearth [03595] of fire [0784] among the wood [06086], and like a torch [03940] of fire [0784] in a sheaf [05995]; and they shall devour [0398] all the people [05971] round about [05439], on the right hand [03225] and on the left [08040]: and Jerusalem [03389] shall be inhabited [03427] again in her own place, even in Jerusalem [03389].
7 The LORD [03068] also shall save [03467] the tents [0168] of Judah [03063] first [07223], that the glory [08597] of the house [01004] of David [01732] and the glory [08597] of the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] do not magnify [01431] themselves against Judah [03063].
8 In that day [03117] shall the LORD [03068] defend [01598] the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]; and he that is feeble [03782] among them at that day [03117] shall be as David [01732]; and the house [01004] of David [01732] shall be as God [0430], as the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] before [06440] them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that I will seek [01245] to destroy [08045] all the nations [01471] that come [0935] against Jerusalem [03389].
10 And I will pour [08210] upon the house [01004] of David [01732], and upon the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], the spirit [07307] of grace [02580] and of supplications [08469]: and they shall look [05027] upon me whom they have pierced [01856], and they shall mourn [04553] for him, as one mourneth [05594] for his only [03173] son, and shall be in bitterness [04843] for him, as one that is in bitterness [04843] for his firstborn [01060].
11 In that day [03117] shall there be a great [01431] mourning [04553] in Jerusalem [03389], as the mourning [04553] of Hadadrimmon [01910] in the valley [01237] of Megiddon [04023].
12 And the land [0776] shall mourn [05594], every [04940] family [04940] apart [0905]; the family [04940] of the house [01004] of David [01732] apart, and their wives [0802] apart; the family [04940] of the house [01004] of Nathan [05416] apart, and their wives [0802] apart;
13 The family [04940] of the house [01004] of Levi [03878] apart, and their wives [0802] apart; the family [04940] of Shimei [08097] apart, and their wives [0802] apart;
14 All the families [04940] that remain [07604], every family [04940] apart, and their wives [0802] apart.
14 All the families [04940] that remain [07604], every family [04940] apart, and their wives [0802] apart.
1 The burden [04853] of the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] for Israel [03478], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], which stretcheth [05186] forth the heavens [08064], and layeth the foundation [03245] of the earth [0776], and formeth [03335] the spirit [07307] of man [0120] within [07130] him.
2 Behold, I will make [07760] Jerusalem [03389] a cup [05592] of trembling [07478] unto all the people [05971] round about [05439], when they shall be in the siege [04692] both against Judah [03063] and against Jerusalem [03389].
3 And in that day [03117] will I make [07760] Jerusalem [03389] a burdensome [04614] stone [068] for all people [05971]: all that burden [06006] themselves with it shall be cut in pieces [08295] [08295], though all the people [01471] of the earth [0776] be gathered together [0622] against it.
4 In that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], I will smite [05221] every horse [05483] with astonishment [08541], and his rider [07392] with madness [07697]: and I will open [06491] mine eyes [05869] upon the house [01004] of Judah [03063], and will smite [05221] every horse [05483] of the people [05971] with blindness [05788].
5 And the governors [0441] of Judah [03063] shall say [0559] in their heart [03820], The inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] shall be my strength [0556] in the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] their God [0430].
6 In that day [03117] will I make [07760] the governors [0441] of Judah [03063] like an hearth [03595] of fire [0784] among the wood [06086], and like a torch [03940] of fire [0784] in a sheaf [05995]; and they shall devour [0398] all the people [05971] round about [05439], on the right hand [03225] and on the left [08040]: and Jerusalem [03389] shall be inhabited [03427] again in her own place, even in Jerusalem [03389].
13 The family [04940] of the house [01004] of Levi [03878] apart, and their wives [0802] apart; the family [04940] of Shimei [08097] apart, and their wives [0802] apart;
1 The burden [04853] of the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] for Israel [03478], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], which stretcheth [05186] forth the heavens [08064], and layeth the foundation [03245] of the earth [0776], and formeth [03335] the spirit [07307] of man [0120] within [07130] him.
2 Behold, I will make [07760] Jerusalem [03389] a cup [05592] of trembling [07478] unto all the people [05971] round about [05439], when they shall be in the siege [04692] both against Judah [03063] and against Jerusalem [03389].
3 And in that day [03117] will I make [07760] Jerusalem [03389] a burdensome [04614] stone [068] for all people [05971]: all that burden [06006] themselves with it shall be cut in pieces [08295] [08295], though all the people [01471] of the earth [0776] be gathered together [0622] against it.
4 In that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], I will smite [05221] every horse [05483] with astonishment [08541], and his rider [07392] with madness [07697]: and I will open [06491] mine eyes [05869] upon the house [01004] of Judah [03063], and will smite [05221] every horse [05483] of the people [05971] with blindness [05788].
5 And the governors [0441] of Judah [03063] shall say [0559] in their heart [03820], The inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] shall be my strength [0556] in the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] their God [0430].
6 In that day [03117] will I make [07760] the governors [0441] of Judah [03063] like an hearth [03595] of fire [0784] among the wood [06086], and like a torch [03940] of fire [0784] in a sheaf [05995]; and they shall devour [0398] all the people [05971] round about [05439], on the right hand [03225] and on the left [08040]: and Jerusalem [03389] shall be inhabited [03427] again in her own place, even in Jerusalem [03389].
7 The LORD [03068] also shall save [03467] the tents [0168] of Judah [03063] first [07223], that the glory [08597] of the house [01004] of David [01732] and the glory [08597] of the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] do not magnify [01431] themselves against Judah [03063].
8 In that day [03117] shall the LORD [03068] defend [01598] the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]; and he that is feeble [03782] among them at that day [03117] shall be as David [01732]; and the house [01004] of David [01732] shall be as God [0430], as the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] before [06440] them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that I will seek [01245] to destroy [08045] all the nations [01471] that come [0935] against Jerusalem [03389].
10 And I will pour [08210] upon the house [01004] of David [01732], and upon the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], the spirit [07307] of grace [02580] and of supplications [08469]: and they shall look [05027] upon me whom they have pierced [01856], and they shall mourn [04553] for him, as one mourneth [05594] for his only [03173] son, and shall be in bitterness [04843] for him, as one that is in bitterness [04843] for his firstborn [01060].
11 In that day [03117] shall there be a great [01431] mourning [04553] in Jerusalem [03389], as the mourning [04553] of Hadadrimmon [01910] in the valley [01237] of Megiddon [04023].
12 And the land [0776] shall mourn [05594], every [04940] family [04940] apart [0905]; the family [04940] of the house [01004] of David [01732] apart, and their wives [0802] apart; the family [04940] of the house [01004] of Nathan [05416] apart, and their wives [0802] apart;
13 The family [04940] of the house [01004] of Levi [03878] apart, and their wives [0802] apart; the family [04940] of Shimei [08097] apart, and their wives [0802] apart;
14 All the families [04940] that remain [07604], every family [04940] apart, and their wives [0802] apart.
7 Hold thy peace [02013] at the presence [06440] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: for the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is at hand [07138]: for the LORD [03068] hath prepared [03559] a sacrifice [02077], he hath bid [06942] his guests [07121].
8 And it shall come to pass in the day [03117] of the LORD'S [03068] sacrifice [02077], that I will punish [06485] the princes [08269], and the king's [04428] children [01121], and all such as are clothed [03847] with strange [05237] apparel [04403].
9 In the same day [03117] also will I punish [06485] all those that leap [01801] on the threshold [04670], which fill [04390] their masters [0113]' houses [01004] with violence [02555] and deceit [04820].
10 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that there shall be the noise [06963] of a cry [06818] from the fish [01709] gate [08179], and an howling [03215] from the second [04932], and a great [01419] crashing [07667] from the hills [01389].
11 Howl [03213], ye inhabitants [03427] of Maktesh [04389], for all the merchant [03667] people [05971] are cut down [01820]; all they that bear [05187] silver [03701] are cut off [03772].
12 And it shall come to pass at that time [06256], that I will search [02664] Jerusalem [03389] with candles [05216], and punish [06485] the men [0582] that are settled [07087] on their lees [08105]: that say [0559] in their heart [03824], The LORD [03068] will not do good [03190], neither will he do evil [07489].
13 Therefore their goods [02428] shall become a booty [04933], and their houses [01004] a desolation [08077]: they shall also build [01129] houses [01004], but not inhabit [03427] them; and they shall plant [05193] vineyards [03754], but not drink [08354] the wine [03196] thereof.
14 The great [01419] day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is near [07138], it is near [07138], and hasteth [04118] greatly [03966], even the voice [06963] of the day [03117] of the LORD [03068]: the mighty man [01368] shall cry [06873] there bitterly [04751].
15 That day [03117] is a day [03117] of wrath [05678], a day [03117] of trouble [06869] and distress [04691], a day [03117] of wasteness [07722] and desolation [04875], a day [03117] of darkness [02822] and gloominess [0653], a day [03117] of clouds [06051] and thick darkness [06205],
16 A day [03117] of the trumpet [07782] and alarm [08643] against the fenced [01219] cities [05892], and against the high [01364] towers [06438].
17 And I will bring distress [06887] upon men [0120], that they shall walk [01980] like blind men [05787], because they have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068]: and their blood [01818] shall be poured out [08210] as dust [06083], and their flesh [03894] as the dung [01561].
18 Neither their silver [03701] nor their gold [02091] shall be able [03201] to deliver [05337] them in the day [03117] of the LORD'S [03068] wrath [05678]; but the whole land [0776] shall be devoured [0398] by the fire [0784] of his jealousy [07068]: for he shall make [06213] even a speedy [0926] riddance [03617] of all them that dwell [03427] in the land [0776].
15 For the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is near [07138] upon all the heathen [01471]: as thou hast done [06213], it shall be done [06213] unto thee: thy reward [01576] shall return [07725] upon thine own head [07218].
16 For as ye have drunk [08354] upon my holy [06944] mountain [02022], so shall all the heathen [01471] drink [08354] continually [08548], yea, they shall drink [08354], and they shall swallow down [03886], and they shall be as though they had not [03808] been.
17 But upon mount [02022] Zion [06726] shall be deliverance [06413], and there shall be holiness [06944]; and the house [01004] of Jacob [03290] shall possess [03423] their possessions [04180].
18 And the house [01004] of Jacob [03290] shall be a fire [0784], and the house [01004] of Joseph [03130] a flame [03852], and the house [01004] of Esau [06215] for stubble [07179], and they shall kindle [01814] in them, and devour [0398] them; and there shall not be any remaining [08300] of the house [01004] of Esau [06215]; for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it.
19 And they of the south [05045] shall possess [03423] the mount [02022] of Esau [06215]; and they of the plain [08219] the Philistines [06430]: and they shall possess [03423] the fields [07704] of Ephraim [0669], and the fields [07704] of Samaria [08111]: and Benjamin [01144] shall possess Gilead [01568].
20 And the captivity [01546] of this host [02426] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall possess that of the Canaanites [03669], even unto Zarephath [06886]; and the captivity [01546] of Jerusalem [03389], which is in Sepharad [05614], shall possess [03423] the cities [05892] of the south [05045].
21 And saviours [03467] shall come up [05927] on mount [02022] Zion [06726] to judge [08199] the mount [02022] of Esau [06215]; and the kingdom [04410] shall be the LORD'S [03068].
18 Woe [01945] unto you that desire [0183] the day [03117] of the LORD [03068]! to what end [04100] is it for you? the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is darkness [02822], and not light [0216].
19 As if a man [0376] did flee [05127] from [06440] a lion [0738], and a bear [01677] met [06293] him; or went [0935] into the house [01004], and leaned [05564] his hand [03027] on the wall [07023], and a serpent [05175] bit [05391] him.
20 Shall not the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] be darkness [02822], and not light [0216]? even very dark [0651], and no brightness [05051] in it?
9 The meat offering [04503] and the drink offering [05262] is cut off [03772] from the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]; the priests [03548], the LORD'S [03068] ministers [08334], mourn [056].
3 Tell [05608] ye your children [01121] of it, and let your children [01121] tell their children [01121], and their children [01121] another [0312] generation [01755].

29 For, lo, I begin [02490] to bring evil [07489] on the city [05892] which is called [07121] by my name [08034], and should ye be utterly [05352] unpunished [05352]? Ye shall not be unpunished [05352]: for I will call [07121] for a sword [02719] upon all the inhabitants [03427] of the earth [0776], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635].
30 Therefore prophesy [05012] thou against them all these words [01697], and say [0559] unto them, The LORD [03068] shall roar [07580] from on high [04791], and utter [05414] his voice [06963] from his holy [06944] habitation [04583]; he shall mightily [07580] roar [07580] upon his habitation [05116]; he shall give [06030] a shout [01959], as they that tread [01869] the grapes, against all the inhabitants [03427] of the earth [0776].
31 A noise [07588] shall come [0935] even to the ends [07097] of the earth [0776]; for the LORD [03068] hath a controversy [07379] with the nations [01471], he will plead [08199] with all flesh [01320]; he will give [05414] them that are wicked [07563] to the sword [02719], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
32 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], Behold, evil [07451] shall go forth [03318] from nation [01471] to nation [01471], and a great [01419] whirlwind [05591] shall be raised up [05782] from the coasts [03411] of the earth [0776].
33 And the slain [02491] of the LORD [03068] shall be at that day [03117] from one end [07097] of the earth [0776] even unto the other end [07097] of the earth [0776]: they shall not be lamented [05594], neither gathered [0622], nor buried [06912]; they shall be dung [01828] upon [06440] the ground [0127].
15 Thou hast increased [03254] the nation [01471], O LORD [03068], thou hast increased [03254] the nation [01471]: thou art glorified [03513]: thou hadst removed it far [07368] unto all the ends [07099] of the earth [0776].
16 LORD [03068], in trouble [06862] have they visited [06485] thee, they poured out [06694] a prayer [03908] when thy chastening [04148] was upon them.
17 Like [03644] as a woman with child [02030], that draweth near [07126] the time of her delivery [03205], is in pain [02342], and crieth out [02199] in her pangs [02256]; so have we been in thy sight [06440], O LORD [03068].
18 We have been with child [02029], we have been in pain [02342], we have as it were [03644] brought forth [03205] wind [07307]; we have not wrought [06213] any deliverance [03444] in the earth [0776]; neither [01077] have the inhabitants [03427] of the world [08398] fallen [05307].
19 Thy dead [04191] men shall live [02421], together with my dead body [05038] shall they arise [06965]. Awake [06974] and sing [07442], ye that dwell [07931] in dust [06083]: for thy dew [02919] is as the dew [02919] of herbs [0219], and the earth [0776] shall cast out [05307] the dead [07496].
20 Come [03212], my people [05971], enter [0935] thou into thy chambers [02315], and shut [05462] thy doors [01817] about thee: hide [02247] thyself as it were for a little [04592] moment [07281], until the indignation [02195] be overpast [05674].
21 For, behold, the LORD [03068] cometh out [03318] of his place [04725] to punish [06485] the inhabitants [03427] of the earth [0776] for their iniquity [05771]: the earth [0776] also shall disclose [01540] her blood [01818], and shall no more cover [03680] her slain [02026].

6 The foot [07272] shall tread it down [07429], even the feet [07272] of the poor [06041], and the steps [06471] of the needy [01800].

1 And in that day [03117] seven [07651] women [0802] shall take hold [02388] of one [0259] man [0376], saying [0559], We will eat [0398] our own bread [03899], and wear [03847] our own apparel [08071]: only let us be called [07121] by thy name [08034], to take away [0622] our reproach [02781].
2 In that day [03117] shall the branch [06780] of the LORD [03068] be beautiful [06643] and glorious [03519], and the fruit [06529] of the earth [0776] shall be excellent [01347] and comely for [08597] them that are escaped [06413] of Israel [03478].
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left [07604] in Zion [06726], and he that remaineth [03498] in Jerusalem [03389], shall be called [0559] holy [06918], even every one that is written [03789] among the living [02416] in Jerusalem [03389]:

6 And there shall be a tabernacle [05521] for a shadow [06738] in the daytime [03119] from the heat [02721], and for a place of refuge [04268], and for a covert [04563] from storm [02230] and from rain [04306].

13 And [2532] he was clothed [4016] with a vesture [2440] dipped [911] in blood [129]: and [2532] his [846] name [3686] is called [2564] The Word [3056] of God [2316].
14 And [2532] the armies [4753] which were [3588] in [1722] heaven [3772] followed [190] him [846] upon [1909] white [3022] horses [2462], clothed [1746] in fine linen [1039], white [3022] and [2532] clean [2513].
15 And [2532] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750] goeth [1607] a sharp [3691] sword [4501], that [2443] with [1722] it [846] he should smite [3960] the nations [1484]: and [2532] he [846] shall rule [4165] them [846] with [1722] a rod [4464] of iron [4603]: and [2532] he [846] treadeth [3961] the winepress [3025] [3631] of the fierceness [2372] and [2532] wrath [3709] of Almighty [3841] God [2316].
16 And [2532] he hath [2192] on [1909] his vesture [2440] and [2532] on [1909] his [846] thigh [3382] a name [3686] written [1125], KING [935] OF KINGS [935], AND [2532] LORD [2962] OF LORDS [2962].
17 And [2532] I saw [1492] an [1520] angel [32] standing [2476] in [1722] the sun [2246]; and [2532] he cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004] to all [3956] the fowls [3732] that fly [4072] in [1722] the midst of heaven [3321], Come [1205] and [2532] gather yourselves together [4863] unto [1519] the supper [1173] of the great [3173] God [2316];
18 That [2443] ye may eat [5315] the flesh [4561] of kings [935], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of captains [5506], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of mighty men [2478], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of horses [2462], and [2532] of them that sit [2521] on [1909] them [846], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of all [3956] men, both free [1658] and [2532] bond [1401], both [2532] small [3398] and [2532] great [3173].
19 And [2532] I saw [1492] the beast [2342], and [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093], and [2532] their [846] armies [4753], gathered together [4863] to make [4160] war [4171] against [3326] him that sat [2521] on [1909] the horse [2462], and [2532] against [3326] his [846] army [4753].
20 And [2532] the beast [2342] was taken [4084], and [2532] with [3326] him [5127] the false prophet [5578] that wrought [4160] miracles [4592] before [1799] him [846], with [1722] which [3739] he deceived [4105] them that had received [2983] the mark [5480] of the beast [2342], and [2532] them that worshipped [4352] his [846] image [1504]. These both [1417] were cast [906] alive [2198] into [1519] a lake [3041] of fire [4442] burning [2545] with [1722] brimstone [2303].
21 And [2532] the remnant [3062] were slain [615] with [1722] the sword [4501] of him that sat [2521] upon [1909] the horse [2462], which [3588] sword proceeded [1607] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750]: and [2532] all [3956] the fowls [3732] were filled [5526] with [1537] their [846] flesh [4561].
10 Enter [0935] into the rock [06697], and hide [02934] thee in the dust [06083], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347].
11 The lofty [01365] looks [05869] of man [0120] shall be humbled [08213], and the haughtiness [07312] of men [0582] shall be bowed down [07817], and the LORD [03068] alone shall be exalted [07682] in that day [03117].
12 For the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall be upon every one that is proud [01343] and lofty [07311], and upon every one that is lifted up [05375]; and he shall be brought low [08213]:
13 And upon all the cedars [0730] of Lebanon [03844], that are high [07311] and lifted up [05375], and upon all the oaks [0437] of Bashan [01316],
14 And upon all the high [07311] mountains [02022], and upon all the hills [01389] that are lifted up [05375],
15 And upon every high [01364] tower [04026], and upon every fenced [01219] wall [02346],
16 And upon all the ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659], and upon all pleasant [02532] pictures [07914].
17 And the loftiness [01365] of man [0120] shall be bowed down [07817], and the haughtiness [07312] of men [0582] shall be made low [08213]: and the LORD [03068] alone shall be exalted [07682] in that day [03117].
18 And the idols [0457] he shall utterly [03632] abolish [02498].
19 And they shall go [0935] into the holes [04631] of the rocks [06697], and into the caves [04247] of the earth [06083], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347], when he ariseth [06965] to shake terribly [06206] the earth [0776].
20 In that day [03117] a man [0120] shall cast [07993] his idols [0457] of silver [03701], and his idols [0457] of gold [02091], which they made each one for himself [06213] to worship [07812], to the moles [02661] [06512] and to the bats [05847];
21 To go [0935] into the clefts [05366] of the rocks [06697], and into the tops [05585] of the ragged rocks [05553], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347], when he ariseth [06965] to shake terribly [06206] the earth [0776].
22 Cease [02308] ye from man [0120], whose breath [05397] is in his nostrils [0639]: for wherein is he to be accounted of [02803]?
19 And [2532] I saw [1492] the beast [2342], and [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093], and [2532] their [846] armies [4753], gathered together [4863] to make [4160] war [4171] against [3326] him that sat [2521] on [1909] the horse [2462], and [2532] against [3326] his [846] army [4753].
12 For the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall be upon every one that is proud [01343] and lofty [07311], and upon every one that is lifted up [05375]; and he shall be brought low [08213]:
7 Hold thy peace [02013] at the presence [06440] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: for the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is at hand [07138]: for the LORD [03068] hath prepared [03559] a sacrifice [02077], he hath bid [06942] his guests [07121].
19 And [2532] I saw [1492] the beast [2342], and [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093], and [2532] their [846] armies [4753], gathered together [4863] to make [4160] war [4171] against [3326] him that sat [2521] on [1909] the horse [2462], and [2532] against [3326] his [846] army [4753].
19 And [2532] I saw [1492] the beast [2342], and [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093], and [2532] their [846] armies [4753], gathered together [4863] to make [4160] war [4171] against [3326] him that sat [2521] on [1909] the horse [2462], and [2532] against [3326] his [846] army [4753].
3 Let [1818] no [3361] man [5100] deceive [1818] you [5209] by [2596] any [3367] means [5158]: for [3754] that day shall not come, except [3362] there come [2064] a falling away [646] first [4412], and [2532] that man [444] of sin [266] be revealed [601], the son [5207] of perdition [684];
3 Let [1818] no [3361] man [5100] deceive [1818] you [5209] by [2596] any [3367] means [5158]: for [3754] that day shall not come, except [3362] there come [2064] a falling away [646] first [4412], and [2532] that man [444] of sin [266] be revealed [601], the son [5207] of perdition [684];
20 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the remnant [07605] of Israel [03478], and such as are escaped [06413] of the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], shall no more again [03254] stay [08172] upon him that smote [05221] them; but shall stay [08172] upon the LORD [03068], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], in truth [0571].
20 And [2532] the beast [2342] was taken [4084], and [2532] with [3326] him [5127] the false prophet [5578] that wrought [4160] miracles [4592] before [1799] him [846], with [1722] which [3739] he deceived [4105] them that had received [2983] the mark [5480] of the beast [2342], and [2532] them that worshipped [4352] his [846] image [1504]. These both [1417] were cast [906] alive [2198] into [1519] a lake [3041] of fire [4442] burning [2545] with [1722] brimstone [2303].
19 And [2532] I saw [1492] the beast [2342], and [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093], and [2532] their [846] armies [4753], gathered together [4863] to make [4160] war [4171] against [3326] him that sat [2521] on [1909] the horse [2462], and [2532] against [3326] his [846] army [4753].
7 And [2532] to you [5213] who are troubled [2346] rest [425] with [3326] us [2257], when [1722] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] shall be revealed [602] from [575] heaven [3772] with [3326] his [846] mighty [1411] angels [32],
8 In [1722] flaming [5395] fire [4442] taking [1325] vengeance [1557] on them that know [1492] not [3361] God [2316], and [2532] that obey [5219] not [3361] the gospel [2098] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
9 Who [3748] shall be punished [1349] [5099] with everlasting [166] destruction [3639] from [575] the presence [4383] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] from [575] the glory [1391] of his [846] power [2479];
10 When [3752] he shall come [2064] to be glorified [1740] in [1722] his [846] saints [40], and [2532] to be admired [2296] in [1722] all [3956] them that believe [4100] (because [3754] our [2257] testimony [3142] among [1909] you [5209] was believed [4100] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250].
31 When [1161] [3752] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall come [2064] in [1722] his [846] glory [1391], and [2532] all [3956] the holy [40] angels [32] with [3326] him [846], then [5119] shall he sit [2523] upon [1909] the throne [2362] of his [846] glory [1391]:
32 And [2532] before [1715] him [846] shall be gathered [4863] all [3956] nations [1484]: and [2532] he shall separate [873] them [846] one [240] from [575] another [240], as [5618] a shepherd [4166] divideth [873] his sheep [4263] from [575] the goats [2056]:
33 And [2532] he shall set [2476] [3303] the sheep [4263] on [1537] his [846] right hand [1188], but [1161] the goats [2055] on [1537] the left [2176].
34 Then [5119] shall the King [935] say [2046] unto them on [1537] his [846] right hand [1188], Come [1205], ye blessed [2127] of my [3450] Father [3962], inherit [2816] the kingdom [932] prepared [2090] for you [5213] from [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]:
35 For [1063] I was an hungred [3983], and [2532] ye gave [1325] me [3427] meat [5315]: I was thirsty [1372], and [2532] ye gave [4222] me [3165] drink [4222]: I was [2252] a stranger [3581], and [2532] ye took [4863] me [3165] in [4863]:
36 Naked [1131], and [2532] ye clothed [4016] me [3165]: I was sick [770], and [2532] ye visited [1980] me [3165]: I was [2252] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] ye came [2064] unto [4314] me [3165].
37 Then [5119] shall the righteous [1342] answer [611] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], when [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] an hungred [3983], and [2532] fed [5142] thee? or [2228] thirsty [1372], and [2532] gave thee drink [4222]?
38 [1161] When [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] a stranger [3581], and [2532] took thee in [4863]? or [2228] naked [1131], and [2532] clothed [4016] thee?
39 [1161] Or when [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] sick [772], or [2228] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] came [2064] unto [4314] thee [4571]?
40 And [2532] the King [935] shall answer [611] and say [2046] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Inasmuch [1909] as [3745] ye have done [4160] it unto one [1520] of the least [1646] of these [5130] my [3450] brethren [80], ye have done [4160] it unto me [1698].
41 Then [5119] shall he say [2046] also [2532] unto them on [1537] the left hand [2176], Depart [4198] from [575] me [1700], ye cursed [2672], into [1519] everlasting [166] fire [4442], prepared [2090] for the devil [1228] and [2532] his [846] angels [32]:
42 For [1063] I was an hungred [3983], and [2532] ye gave [1325] me [3427] no [3756] meat [5315]: I was thirsty [1372], and [2532] ye gave [4222] me [3165] no [3756] drink [4222]:
43 I was [2252] a stranger [3581], and [2532] ye took [4863] me [3165] not [3756] in [4863]: naked [1131], and [2532] ye clothed [4016] me [3165] not [3756]: sick [772], and [2532] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] ye visited [1980] me [3165] not [3756].
44 Then [5119] shall they [846] also [2532] answer [611] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], when [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] an hungred [3983], or [2228] athirst [1372], or [2228] a stranger [3581], or [2228] naked [1131], or [2228] sick [772], or [2228] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] did [1247] not [3756] minister [1247] unto thee [4671]?
45 Then [5119] shall he answer [611] them [846], saying [3004], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Inasmuch [1909] as [3745] ye did [4160] it not [3756] to one [1520] of the least [1646] of these [5130], ye did [4160] it not [3761] to me [1698].
46 And [2532] these [3778] shall go away [565] into [1519] everlasting [166] punishment [2851]: but [1161] the righteous [1342] into [1519] life [2222] eternal [166].
1 Come near [07126], ye nations [01471], to hear [08085]; and hearken [07181], ye people [03816]: let the earth [0776] hear [08085], and all that is therein [04393]; the world [08398], and all things that come forth [06631] of it.
2 For the indignation [07110] of the LORD [03068] is upon all nations [01471], and his fury [02534] upon all their armies [06635]: he hath utterly destroyed [02763] them, he hath delivered [05414] them to the slaughter [02874].
3 Their slain [02491] also shall be cast out [07993], and their stink [0889] shall come up [05927] out of their carcases [06297], and the mountains [02022] shall be melted [04549] with their blood [01818].
4 And all the host [06635] of heaven [08064] shall be dissolved [04743], and the heavens [08064] shall be rolled together [01556] as a scroll [05612]: and all their host [06635] shall fall down [05034], as the leaf [05929] falleth off [05034] from the vine [01612], and as a falling [05034] fig from the fig tree [08384].
5 For my sword [02719] shall be bathed [07301] in heaven [08064]: behold, it shall come down [03381] upon Idumea [0123], and upon the people [05971] of my curse [02764], to judgment [04941].
6 The sword [02719] of the LORD [03068] is filled [04390] with blood [01818], it is made fat [01878] with fatness [02459], and with the blood [01818] of lambs [03733] and goats [06260], with the fat [02459] of the kidneys [03629] of rams [0352]: for the LORD [03068] hath a sacrifice [02077] in Bozrah [01224], and a great [01419] slaughter [02874] in the land [0776] of Idumea [0123].

9 And the streams [05158] thereof shall be turned [02015] into pitch [02203], and the dust [06083] thereof into brimstone [01614], and the land [0776] thereof shall become burning [01197] pitch [02203].
11 And [2532] I saw [1492] a great [3173] white [3022] throne [2362], and [2532] him that sat [2521] on [1909] it [846], from [575] whose [3739] face [4383] the earth [1093] and [2532] the heaven [3772] fled away [5343]; and [2532] there was found [2147] no [3756] place [5117] for them [846].
12 And [2532] I saw [1492] the dead [3498], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173], stand [2476] before [1799] God [2316]; and [2532] the books [975] were opened [455]: and [2532] another [243] book [975] was opened [455], which [3739] is [2076] the book of life [2222]: and [2532] the dead [3498] were judged [2919] out of [1537] those things which were written [1125] in [1722] the books [975], according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
13 And [2532] the sea [2281] gave up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] it [846]; and [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] delivered up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] them [846]: and [2532] they were judged [2919] every man [1538] according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
14 And [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] were cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442]. This [3778] is [2076] the second [1208] death [2288].
15 And [2532] whosoever [1536] was [2147] not [3756] found [2147] written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of life [2222] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442].
30 That the wicked [07451] is reserved [02820] to the day [03117] of destruction [0343]? they shall be brought forth [02986] to the day [03117] of wrath [05678].
11 And [2532] I saw [1492] a great [3173] white [3022] throne [2362], and [2532] him that sat [2521] on [1909] it [846], from [575] whose [3739] face [4383] the earth [1093] and [2532] the heaven [3772] fled away [5343]; and [2532] there was found [2147] no [3756] place [5117] for them [846].
11 And [2532] I saw [1492] heaven [3772] opened [455], and [2532] behold [2400] a white [3022] horse [2462]; and [2532] he that sat [2521] upon [1909] him [846] was called [2564] Faithful [4103] and [2532] True [228], and [2532] in [1722] righteousness [1343] he doth judge [2919] and [2532] make war [4170].
12 [1161] His [846] eyes [3788] were as [5613] a flame [5395] of fire [4442], and [2532] on [1909] his [846] head [2776] were many [4183] crowns [1238]; and he had [2192] a name [3686] written [1125], that [3739] no man [3762] knew [1492], but [1508] he himself [846].
13 And [2532] he was clothed [4016] with a vesture [2440] dipped [911] in blood [129]: and [2532] his [846] name [3686] is called [2564] The Word [3056] of God [2316].
14 And [2532] the armies [4753] which were [3588] in [1722] heaven [3772] followed [190] him [846] upon [1909] white [3022] horses [2462], clothed [1746] in fine linen [1039], white [3022] and [2532] clean [2513].
15 And [2532] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750] goeth [1607] a sharp [3691] sword [4501], that [2443] with [1722] it [846] he should smite [3960] the nations [1484]: and [2532] he [846] shall rule [4165] them [846] with [1722] a rod [4464] of iron [4603]: and [2532] he [846] treadeth [3961] the winepress [3025] [3631] of the fierceness [2372] and [2532] wrath [3709] of Almighty [3841] God [2316].
16 And [2532] he hath [2192] on [1909] his vesture [2440] and [2532] on [1909] his [846] thigh [3382] a name [3686] written [1125], KING [935] OF KINGS [935], AND [2532] LORD [2962] OF LORDS [2962].
17 And [2532] I saw [1492] an [1520] angel [32] standing [2476] in [1722] the sun [2246]; and [2532] he cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004] to all [3956] the fowls [3732] that fly [4072] in [1722] the midst of heaven [3321], Come [1205] and [2532] gather yourselves together [4863] unto [1519] the supper [1173] of the great [3173] God [2316];
18 That [2443] ye may eat [5315] the flesh [4561] of kings [935], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of captains [5506], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of mighty men [2478], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of horses [2462], and [2532] of them that sit [2521] on [1909] them [846], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of all [3956] men, both free [1658] and [2532] bond [1401], both [2532] small [3398] and [2532] great [3173].
19 And [2532] I saw [1492] the beast [2342], and [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093], and [2532] their [846] armies [4753], gathered together [4863] to make [4160] war [4171] against [3326] him that sat [2521] on [1909] the horse [2462], and [2532] against [3326] his [846] army [4753].
20 And [2532] the beast [2342] was taken [4084], and [2532] with [3326] him [5127] the false prophet [5578] that wrought [4160] miracles [4592] before [1799] him [846], with [1722] which [3739] he deceived [4105] them that had received [2983] the mark [5480] of the beast [2342], and [2532] them that worshipped [4352] his [846] image [1504]. These both [1417] were cast [906] alive [2198] into [1519] a lake [3041] of fire [4442] burning [2545] with [1722] brimstone [2303].
21 And [2532] the remnant [3062] were slain [615] with [1722] the sword [4501] of him that sat [2521] upon [1909] the horse [2462], which [3588] sword proceeded [1607] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750]: and [2532] all [3956] the fowls [3732] were filled [5526] with [1537] their [846] flesh [4561].
2 That [1519] ye [5209] be [4531] not [3361] soon [5030] shaken [4531] in [575] mind [3563], or [3383] be troubled [2360], neither [3383] by [1223] spirit [4151], nor [3383] by [1223] word [3056], nor [3383] by [1223] letter [1992] as [5613] from [1223] us [2257], as [5613] that [3754] the day [2250] of Christ [5547] is at hand [1764].
8 Henceforth [3063] there is laid up [606] for me [3427] a crown [4735] of righteousness [1343], which [3739] the Lord [2962], the righteous [1342] judge [2923], shall give [591] me [3427] at [1722] that [1565] day [2250]: and [1161] not [3756] to me [1698] only [3440], but [235] unto all them [3956] also [2532] that love [25] his [846] appearing [2015].
16 The one [3303] preach [2605] Christ [5547] of [1537] contention [2052], not [3756] sincerely [55], supposing [3633] to add [2018] affliction [2347] to my [3450] bonds [1199]:
2 Grace [5485] be unto you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962], and [2532] from the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
10 That [1519] ye [5209] may approve [1381] things that are excellent [1308]; that [2443] ye may be [5600] sincere [1506] and [2532] without offence [677] till [1519] the day [2250] of Christ [5547];
6 Being confident [3982] of this [5124] very thing [846], that [3754] he which hath begun [1728] a good [18] work [2041] in [1722] you [5213] will perform [2005] it until [891] the day [2250] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
14 As [2531] also [2532] ye have acknowledged [1921] us [2248] in [575] part [3313], that [3754] we are [2070] your [5216] rejoicing [2745], even as [2509] ye [5210] also [2532] are ours [2257] in [1722] the day [2250] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424].
5 That [3754] in [1722] every thing [3956] ye are enriched [4148] by [1722] him [846], in [1722] all [3956] utterance [3056], and [2532] in all [3956] knowledge [1108];
5 That [3754] in [1722] every thing [3956] ye are enriched [4148] by [1722] him [846], in [1722] all [3956] utterance [3056], and [2532] in all [3956] knowledge [1108];
8 Who [3739] shall [950] also [2532] confirm [950] you [5209] unto [2193] the end [5056], that ye may be blameless [410] in [1722] the day [2250] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
12 For the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall be upon every one that is proud [01343] and lofty [07311], and upon every one that is lifted up [05375]; and he shall be brought low [08213]:
8 Who [3739] shall [950] also [2532] confirm [950] you [5209] unto [2193] the end [5056], that ye may be blameless [410] in [1722] the day [2250] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
16 And thine house [01004] and thy kingdom [04467] shall be established [0539] for [05704] ever [05769] before [06440] thee: thy throne [03678] shall be established [03559] for [05704] ever [05769].
27 Also I will make [05414] him my firstborn [01060], higher [05945] than the kings [04428] of the earth [0776].
7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say [0559] unto my servant [05650] David [01732], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], I took [03947] thee from the sheepcote [05116], even from following [0310] the sheep [06629], that thou shouldest be ruler [05057] over my people [05971] Israel [03478]:
7 Of the increase [04766] of his government [04951] and peace [07965] there shall be no end [07093], upon the throne [03678] of David [01732], and upon his kingdom [04467], to order [03559] it, and to establish [05582] it with judgment [04941] and with justice [06666] from henceforth even for [05704] ever [05769]. The zeal [07068] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] will perform [06213] this.
21 And David [01732] came [0935] to Saul [07586], and stood [05975] before [06440] him: and he loved [0157] him greatly [03966]; and he became his armourbearer [05375] [03627].
31 And Darius [01868] the Median [04077] took [06902] the kingdom [04437], being about threescore [08361] and two [08648] years [08140] old [01247].
24 Seventy [07657] weeks [07620] are determined [02852] upon thy people [05971] and upon thy holy [06944] city [05892], to finish [03607] the transgression [06588], and to make an end [08552] [02856] of sins [02403], and to make reconciliation [03722] for iniquity [05771], and to bring in [0935] everlasting [05769] righteousness [06664], and to seal up [02856] the vision [02377] and prophecy [05030], and to anoint [04886] the most [06944] Holy [06944].
31 And Darius [01868] the Median [04077] took [06902] the kingdom [04437], being about threescore [08361] and two [08648] years [08140] old [01247].
4 Then spake [01696] the Chaldeans [03778] to the king [04428] in Syriack [0762], O king [04430], live [02418] for ever [05957]: tell [0560] thy servants [05649] the dream [02493], and we will shew [02324] the interpretation [06591].
1 In the third [07969] year [08141] of the reign [04438] of Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] came [0935] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] unto Jerusalem [03389], and besieged [06696] it.
6 The LORD [03068] said [0559] also unto me in the days [03117] of Josiah [02977] the king [04428], Hast thou seen [07200] that which backsliding [04878] Israel [03478] hath done [06213]? she is gone up [01980] upon every high [01364] mountain [02022] and under [08478] every green [07488] tree [06086], and there hath played the harlot [02181].
20 For of old time [05769] I have broken [07665] thy yoke [05923], and burst [05423] thy bands [04147]; and thou saidst [0559], I will not transgress [05674] [05647]; when upon every high [01364] hill [01389] and under every green [07488] tree [06086] thou wanderest [06808], playing the harlot [02181].
23 For they also built [01129] them high places [01116], and images [04676], and groves [0842], on every high [01364] hill [01389], and under every green [07488] tree [06086].
2 Ye shall utterly [06] destroy [06] all the places [04725], wherein the nations [01471] which [0834] ye shall possess [03423] served [05647] their gods [0430], upon the high [07311] mountains [02022], and upon the hills [01389], and under every green [07488] tree [06086]:
30 And he returned [07725] unto his brethren [0251], and said [0559], The child [03206] is not; and I, whither [0575] shall I go [0935]?
30 And he returned [07725] unto his brethren [0251], and said [0559], The child [03206] is not; and I, whither [0575] shall I go [0935]?
6 The LORD [03068] said [0559] also unto me in the days [03117] of Josiah [02977] the king [04428], Hast thou seen [07200] that which backsliding [04878] Israel [03478] hath done [06213]? she is gone up [01980] upon every high [01364] mountain [02022] and under [08478] every green [07488] tree [06086], and there hath played the harlot [02181].
20 For of old time [05769] I have broken [07665] thy yoke [05923], and burst [05423] thy bands [04147]; and thou saidst [0559], I will not transgress [05674] [05647]; when upon every high [01364] hill [01389] and under every green [07488] tree [06086] thou wanderest [06808], playing the harlot [02181].
2 Ye shall utterly [06] destroy [06] all the places [04725], wherein the nations [01471] which [0834] ye shall possess [03423] served [05647] their gods [0430], upon the high [07311] mountains [02022], and upon the hills [01389], and under every green [07488] tree [06086]:
13 They sacrifice [02076] upon the tops [07218] of the mountains [02022], and burn incense [06999] upon the hills [01389], under oaks [0437] and poplars [03839] and elms [0424], because the shadow [06738] thereof is good [02896]: therefore your daughters [01323] shall commit whoredom [02181], and your spouses [03618] shall commit adultery [05003].
11 Whoredom [02184] and wine [03196] and new wine [08492] take away [03947] the heart [03820].
