A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Their drink is sour--metaphor for utter degeneracy of principle (Isa 1:22). Or, unbridled licentiousness; not mere ordinary sin, but as abandoned as drunkards who vomit and smell sour with wine potations [CALVIN]. MAURER not so well translates, "When their drinking is over, they commit whoredoms," namely, in honor of Astarte (Hos 4:13-14). her rulers--Israel's; literally, "shields" (compare Psa 47:9). with shame . . . love, Give ye-- (Pro 30:15). No remedy could be effectual against their corruptions since the very rulers sold justice for gifts [CALVIN]. MAURER translates, "The rulers are marvelously enamored of shame." English Version is better.

Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Their drink is sour - Literally, "turned," as we say of milk. So Isaiah says, "Thy silver is become dross; thy wine is mingled," i. e., adulterated, "with water" Isa 1:22; and our lord speaks of "salt which had lost its savor." The wine or the salt, when once turned or become insipid, is spoiled, irrecoverably, as we speak of "dead wine." They had lost all their life, and taste of goodness. Her rulers with shame do love, give ye - Avarice and luxury are continually banded together according to the saying, "covetous of another's, prodigal of his own." Yet it were perhaps more correct to render, "her rulers do love, do love, shame." They love that which brings shame, which is bound up with shame, and ends in it; and so the prophet says that they "love the shame" itself. They act, as if they were in love with the shame, which, all their lives long, they are unceasingly and, as it were, by system, drawing upon themselves. They chase diligently after all the occasions of sins and sinful pleasures which end in shame; they omit nothing which brings it, do nothing which can avoid it. What else or what more could they do, if they "loved the shame" for its own sake?

Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78]
"Their drinking has degenerated; whoring they have committed whoredom; their shields have loved, loved shame. Hos 4:19. The wind has wrapt it up in its wings, so that they are put to shame because of their sacrifices." סר from סוּר, to fall off, degenerate, as in Jer 2:21. סבא is probably strong, intoxicating wine (cf. Isa 1:22; Nah 1:10); here it signifies the effect of this wine, viz., intoxication. Others take sâr in the usual sense of departing, after Sa1 1:14, and understand the sentence conditionally: "when their intoxication is gone, they commit whoredom." But Hitzig has very properly object to this, that it is intoxication which leads to licentiousness, and not temperance. Moreover, the strengthening of hisnū by the inf. abs. is not in harmony with this explanation. The hiphil hiznâh is used in an emphatic sense, as in Hos 4:10. The meaning of the last half of the verse is also a disputed point, more especially on account of the word הבוּ, which only occurs here, and which can only be the imperative of יהב (הבוּ for הבוּ), or a contraction of אהבוּ. All other explanations are arbitrary. But we are precluded from taking the word as an imperative by קלון, which altogether confuses the sense, if we adopt the rendering "their shields love 'Give ye' - shame." We therefore prefer taking הבוּ as a contraction of אהבוּ, and אהבוּ הבוּ as a construction resembling the pealal form, in which the latter part of the fully formed verb is repeated, with the verbal person as an independent form (Ewald, 120), viz., "their shields loved, loved shame," which yields a perfectly suitable thought. The princes are figuratively represented as shields, as in Ps. 47:10, as the supporters and protectors of the state. They love shame, inasmuch as they love the sin which brings shame. This shame will inevitably burst upon the kingdom. The tempest has already seized upon the people, or wrapt them up with its wings (cf. Psa 18:11; Psa 104:3), and will carry them away (Isa 57:13). צרר, literally to bind together, hence to lay hold of, wrap up. Rūăch, the wind, or tempest, is a figurative term denoting destruction, like רוּח קדים in Hos 13:15 and Eze 5:3-4. אותהּ refers to Ephraim represented as a woman, like the suffix attached to מגנּיה in Hos 4:18. יבשׁוּ מזּבחותם, to be put to shame on account of their sacrifices, i.e., to be deceived in their confidence in their idols (bōsh with min as in Hos 10:6; Jer 2:36; Jer 12:13, etc.), or to discover that the sacrifices which they offered to Jehovah, whilst their heart was attached to the idols, did not save from ruin. The plural formation זבחות for זבחים only occurs here, but it has many analogies in its favour, and does not warrant our altering the reading into מזבּחותם, after the Sept. ἐκ τῶν θυσιατηρίων, as Hitzig proposes; whilst the inadmissibility of this proposal is sufficiently demonstrated by the fact that there is nothing to justify the omission of the indispensable מן, and the cases which Hitzig cites as instances in which min is omitted (viz., Zac 14:10; Psa 68:14, and Deu 23:11) are based upon a false interpretation.

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
Their drink - Their wine is corrupt and hurtful. Continually - Without ceasing from Jeroboam's time to this day. Give ye - Beside there is shameful oppression and bribery among them.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
Their drink is sour - Or rather, he is gone after their wine. The enticements of idolatry have carried them away. Her rulers with shame do love - Rather, have loved shame; they glory in their abominations. Give ye - Perhaps it would be better to read, Her rulers have committed, etc. They have loved gifts. What a shame! These were their rulers, literally, their shields. Justice and judgment were perverted.

¹⁵ The horseleach [05936] hath two [08147] daughters [01323], crying, Give [03051], give [03051]. There are three [07969] things that are never satisfied [07646], yea, four [0702] things say [0559] not,It is enough [01952]:

⁹ The princes [05081] of the people [05971] are gathered together [0622], even the people [05971] of the God [0430] of Abraham [085]: for the shields [04043] of the earth [0776] belong unto God [0430]: he is greatly [03966] exalted [05927].

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].
¹⁴ I will not punish [06485] your daughters [01323] when they commit whoredom [02181], nor your spouses [03618] when they commit adultery [05003]: for themselves are separated [06504] with whores [02181], and they sacrifice [02076] with harlots [06948]: therefore the people [05971] that doth not understand [0995] shall fall [03832].

²² Thy silver [03701] is become dross [05509], thy wine [05435] mixed [04107] with water [04325]:

¹² Saying [3004], Amen [281]: Blessing [2129], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] wisdom [4678], and [2532] thanksgiving [2169], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] power [1411], and [2532] might [2479], be unto our [2257] God [2316] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].

⁰ The commentary points to an invalid Bible reference.

⁴ And [2532] I heard [191] the number [706] of them which were sealed [4972]: and there were sealed [4972] an hundred [1540] and forty [5062] and four [5064] thousand [5505] of [1537] all [3956] the tribes [5443] of the children [5207] of Israel [2474].

¹ I say [3004] the truth [225] in [1722] Christ [5547], I lie [5574] not [3756], my [3450] conscience [4893] also bearing [4828] me [3427] witness [4828] in [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151],
² That [3754] I [3427] have [2076] great [3173] heaviness [3077] and [2532] continual [88] sorrow in [3601] my [3450] heart [2588].
³ For [1063] I [1473] could wish [2172] that myself [846] were [1511] accursed [331] from [575] Christ [5547] for [5228] my [3450] brethren [80], my [3450] kinsmen [4773] according [2596] to the flesh [4561]:
⁴ Who [3748] are [1526] Israelites [2475]; to whom [3739] pertaineth the adoption [5206], and [2532] the glory [1391], and [2532] the covenants [1242], and [2532] the giving of the law [3548], and [2532] the service [2999] of God, and [2532] the promises [1860];
⁵ Whose [3739] are the fathers [3962], and [2532] of [1537] whom [3739] as concerning [2596] the flesh [4561] Christ [5547] came, who [5607] is over [1909] all [3956], God [2316] blessed [2128] for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281].
⁶ Not [3756] as [3634] though [1161] [3754] the word [3056] of God [2316] hath taken none effect [1601]. For [1063] they are not [3756] all [3956] [1537] Israel [2474], which [3588] [3778] are of Israel [2474]:
⁷ Neither [3761], because [3754] they are [1526] the seed [4690] of Abraham [11], are they all [3956] children [5043]: but [235], In [1722] Isaac [2464] shall [2564] thy [4671] seed [4690] be called [2564].
⁸ That is [5123], They which are the children [5043] of the flesh [4561], these [5023] are not [3756] the children [5043] of God [2316]: but [235] the children [5043] of the promise [1860] are counted [3049] for [1519] the seed [4690].
⁹ For [1063] this [3778] is the word [3056] of promise [1860], At [2596] this [5126] time [2540] will I come [2064], and [2532] Sara [4564] shall have [2071] a son [5207].
¹⁰ And [1161] not [3756] only [3440] this; but [235] when Rebecca [4479] also [2532] had conceived [2845] by [1537] one [1520] [2192], even by our [2257] father [3962] Isaac [2464];
¹¹ (For [1063] the children being [1080] not yet [3380] born [1080], neither [3366] having done [4238] any [5100] good [18] or [2228] evil [2556], that [2443] the purpose [4286] of God [2316] according [2596] to election [1589] might stand [3306], not [3756] of [1537] works [2041], but [235] of [1537] him that calleth [2564]
¹² [3754] It was said [4483] unto her [846], The elder [3187] shall serve [1398] the younger [1640].
¹³ As [2531] it is written [1125], Jacob [2384] have I loved [25], but [1161] Esau [2269] have I hated [3404].
¹⁴ What [5101] shall we say [2046] then [3767]? [3361] Is there unrighteousness [93] with [3844] God [2316]? God forbid [3361] [1096].
¹⁵ For [1063] he saith [3004] to Moses [3475], I will have mercy on [1653] whom [3739] [302] I will have mercy [1653], and [2532] I will have compassion [3627] on whom [3739] [302] I will have compassion [3627].
¹⁶ So [686] then [3767] it is not [3756] of him that willeth [2309], nor [3761] of him that runneth [5143], but [235] of God [2316] that sheweth mercy [1653].
¹⁷ For [1063] the scripture [1124] saith [3004] unto Pharaoh [5328], Even for [3754] [1519] this [5124] same purpose [846] have I raised [1825] thee [4571] up [1825], that [3704] I might shew [1731] my [3450] power [1411] in [1722] thee [4671], and [2532] that [3704] my [3450] name [3686] might be declared [1229] throughout [1722] all [3956] the earth [1093].
¹⁸ Therefore [686] [3767] hath he mercy [1653] on whom [3739] he will [2309] have mercy, and [1161] whom [3739] he will [2309] he hardeneth [4645].
¹⁹ Thou wilt say [2046] then [3767] unto me [3427], Why [5101] doth he yet [2089] find fault [3201]? For [1063] who [5101] hath resisted [436] his [846] will [1013]?
²⁰ Nay but [3304], O [5599] man [444], who [5101] art [1488] thou [4771] that repliest against [470] God [2316]? [3361] Shall [2046] the thing formed [4110] say [2046] to him that formed [4111] it, Why [5101] hast thou made [4160] me [3165] thus [3779]?
²¹ [2228] Hath [2192] not [3756] the potter [2763] power [1849] over the clay [4081], of [1537] the same [846] lump [5445] to [3739] [3303] make [4160] one vessel [4632] unto [1519] honour [5092], and [1161] another [3739] unto [1519] dishonour [819]?
²² What if [1487] [1161] God [2316], willing [2309] to shew [1731] his wrath [3709], and [2532] to make [1107] his [846] power [1415] known [1107], endured [5342] with [1722] much [4183] longsuffering [3115] the vessels [4632] of wrath [3709] fitted [2675] to [1519] destruction [684]:
²³ And [2532] that [2443] he might make known [1107] the riches [4149] of his [846] glory [1391] on [1909] the vessels [4632] of mercy [1656], which [3739] he had afore prepared [4282] unto [1519] glory [1391],
²⁴ [3739] Even [2532] us [2248], whom [3739] he hath called [2564], not [3756] of [1537] the Jews [2453] only [3440], but [235] also [2532] of [1537] the Gentiles [1484]?
²⁵ As he saith [3004] also [2532] in [1722] Osee [5617], I will call [2564] them my [3450] people [2992], which were not [3756] my [3450] people [2992]; and [2532] her beloved [25], which was [25] not [3756] beloved [25].
²⁶ And [2532] it shall come to pass [2071], that in [1722] the place [5117] where [3757] [3739] it was said [4483] unto them [846], Ye [5210] are not [3756] my [3450] people [2992]; there [1563] shall they be called [2564] the children [5207] of the living [2198] God [2316].
²⁷ Esaias [2268] also [1161] crieth [2896] concerning [5228] Israel [2474], Though [1437] the number [706] of the children [5207] of Israel [2474] be [5600] as [5613] the sand [285] of the sea [2281], a remnant [2640] shall be saved [4982]:

¹¹ (For [1063] the children being [1080] not yet [3380] born [1080], neither [3366] having done [4238] any [5100] good [18] or [2228] evil [2556], that [2443] the purpose [4286] of God [2316] according [2596] to election [1589] might stand [3306], not [3756] of [1537] works [2041], but [235] of [1537] him that calleth [2564]

¹⁰ And [1161] not [3756] only [3440] this; but [235] when Rebecca [4479] also [2532] had conceived [2845] by [1537] one [1520] [2192], even by our [2257] father [3962] Isaac [2464];

¹⁴ But [1161] Peter [4074], standing up [2476] with [4862] the eleven [1733], lifted up [1869] his [846] voice [5456], and [2532] said [669] unto them [846], Ye men [435] of Judaea [2453], and [2532] all [537] ye that dwell [2730] at Jerusalem [2419], be [2077] this [5124] known [1110] unto you [5213], and [2532] hearken [1801] to my [3450] words [4487]:
¹⁵ For [1063] these [3778] are [3184] not [3756] drunken [3184], as [5613] ye [5210] suppose [5274], seeing [1063] it is [2076] but the third [5154] hour [5610] of the day [2250].
¹⁶ But [235] this [5124] is [2076] that which was spoken [2046] by [1223] the prophet [4396] Joel [2493];
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]:

¹⁵ For [1063] these [3778] are [3184] not [3756] drunken [3184], as [5613] ye [5210] suppose [5274], seeing [1063] it is [2076] but the third [5154] hour [5610] of the day [2250].

²⁹ Men [435] and brethren [80], let [2036] me [1832] freely [3326] [3954] speak [2036] unto [4314] you [5209] of [4012] the patriarch [3966] David [1138], that [3754] he is [5053] both [2532] dead [5053] and [2532] buried [2290], and [2532] his [846] sepulchre [3418] is [2076] with [1722] us [2254] unto [891] this [5026] day [2250].
³⁰ Therefore [3767] being [5225] a prophet [4396], and [2532] knowing [1492] that [3754] God [2316] had sworn [3660] with an oath [3727] to him [846], that of [1537] the fruit [2590] of his [846] loins [3751], according to [2596] the flesh [4561], he would raise up [450] Christ [5547] to sit [2523] on [1909] his [846] throne [2362];
³¹ He seeing this before [4275] spake [2980] of [4012] the resurrection [386] of Christ [5547], that [3754] his [846] soul [5590] was [2641] not [3756] left [2641] in [1519] hell [86], neither [3761] his [846] flesh [4561] did see [1492] corruption [1312].
³² This [5126] Jesus [2424] hath [450] God [2316] raised up [450], whereof [3739] we [2249] all [3956] are [2070] witnesses [3144].

²⁰ And [2532], behold [2400], thou [2071] shalt be dumb [4623], and [2532] not [3361] able [1410] to speak [2980], until [891] the day [2250] that [3739] these things [5023] shall be performed [1096], because [473] [3739] thou believest [4100] not [3756] my [3450] words [3056], which [3748] shall be fulfilled [4137] in [1519] their [846] season [2540].
²¹ And [2532] the people [2992] waited [2258] [4328] for Zacharias [2197], and [2532] marvelled [2296] that [1722] he [846] tarried so long [5549] in [1722] the temple [3485].
²² And [1161] when he came out [1831], he could [1410] not [3756] speak [2980] unto them [846]: and [2532] they perceived [1921] that [3754] he had seen [3708] a vision [3701] in [1722] the temple [3485]: for [2532] he [846] beckoned [2258] [1269] unto them [846], and [2532] remained [1265] speechless [2974].
²³ And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that, as soon as [5613] the days [2250] of his [846] ministration [3009] were accomplished [4130], he departed [565] to [1519] his own [846] house [3624].
²⁴ And [1161] after [3326] those [5025] days [2250] his [846] wife [1135] Elisabeth [1665] conceived [4815], and [2532] hid [4032] herself [1438] five [4002] months [3376], saying [3004],

²¹ And [2532] the people [2992] waited [2258] [4328] for Zacharias [2197], and [2532] marvelled [2296] that [1722] he [846] tarried so long [5549] in [1722] the temple [3485].

³¹ And [2532], behold [2400], thou shalt conceive [4815] in [1722] thy womb [1064], and [2532] bring forth [5088] a son [5207], and [2532] shalt call [2564] his [846] name [3686] JESUS [2424].
³² He [3778] shall be [2071] great [3173], and [2532] shall be called [2564] the Son [5207] of the Highest [5310]: and [2532] the Lord [2962] God [2316] shall give [1325] unto him [846] the throne [2362] of his [846] father [3962] David [1138]:
³³ And [2532] he shall reign [936] over [1909] the house [3624] of Jacob [2384] for [1519] ever [165]; and [2532] of his [846] kingdom [932] there shall be [2071] no [3756] end [5056].

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].

⁶ And I will strengthen [01396] the house [01004] of Judah [03063], and I will save [03467] the house [01004] of Joseph [03130], and I will bring them again to place [03427] them; for I have mercy [07355] upon them: and they shall be as though [0834] I had not cast them off [02186]: for I am the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and will hear [06030] them.
⁷ And they of Ephraim [0669] shall be like a mighty [01368] man, and their heart [03820] shall rejoice [08055] as through wine [03196]: yea, their children [01121] shall see [07200] it, and be glad [08055]; their heart [03820] shall rejoice [01523] in the LORD [03068].
⁸ I will hiss [08319] for them, and gather [06908] them; for I have redeemed [06299] them: and they shall increase [07235] as they have increased [07235].
⁹ And I will sow [02232] them among the people [05971]: and they shall remember [02142] me in far countries [04801]; and they shall live [02421] with their children [01121], and turn again [07725].
¹⁰ I will bring them again [07725] also out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and gather [06908] them out of Assyria [0804]; and I will bring [0935] them into the land [0776] of Gilead [01568] and Lebanon [03844]; and place shall not be found [04672] for them.
¹¹ And he shall pass through [05674] the sea [03220] with affliction [06869], and shall smite [05221] the waves [01530] in the sea [03220], and all the deeps [04688] of the river [02975] shall dry up [03001]: and the pride [01347] of Assyria [0804] shall be brought down [03381], and the sceptre [07626] of Egypt [04714] shall depart away [05493].
¹² And I will strengthen [01396] them in the LORD [03068]; and they shall walk up and down [01980] in his name [08034], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].

¹⁵ The sun [08121] and the moon [03394] shall be darkened [06937], and the stars [03556] shall withdraw [0622] their shining [05051].
¹⁶ The LORD [03068] also shall roar [07580] out of Zion [06726], and utter [05414] his voice [06963] from Jerusalem [03389]; and the heavens [08064] and the earth [0776] shall shake [07493]: but the LORD [03068] will be the hope [04268] of his people [05971], and the strength [04581] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
¹⁷ So shall ye know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430] dwelling [07931] in Zion [06726], my holy [06944] mountain [02022]: then shall Jerusalem [03389] be holy [06944], and there shall no strangers [02114] pass through [05674] her any more.
¹⁸ And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the mountains [02022] shall drop down [05197] new wine [06071], and the hills [01389] shall flow [03212] with milk [02461], and all the rivers [0650] of Judah [03063] shall flow [03212] with waters [04325], and a fountain [04599] shall come forth [03318] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and shall water [08248] the valley [05158] of Shittim [07851].
¹⁹ Egypt [04714] shall be a desolation [08077], and Edom [0123] shall be a desolate [08077] wilderness [04057], for the violence [02555] against the children [01121] of Judah [03063], because they have shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818] in their land [0776].
²⁰ But Judah [03063] shall dwell [03427] for ever [05769], and Jerusalem [03389] from generation [01755] to generation [01755].

¹ For, behold, in those days [03117], and in that time [06256], when I shall bring again [07725] [07725] the captivity [07622] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389],
² I will also gather [06908] all nations [01471], and will bring them down [03381] into the valley [06010] of Jehoshaphat [03092], and will plead [08199] with them there for my people [05971] and for my heritage [05159] Israel [03478], whom they have scattered [06340] among the nations [01471], and parted [02505] my land [0776].
³ And they have cast [03032] lots [01486] for my people [05971]; and have given [05414] a boy [03206] for an harlot [02181], and sold [04376] a girl [03207] for wine [03196], that they might drink [08354].
⁴ Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre [06865], and Zidon [06721], and all the coasts [01552] of Palestine [06429]? will ye render [07999] me a recompence [01576]? and if ye recompense [01580] me, swiftly [07031] and speedily [04120] will I return [07725] your recompence [01576] upon your own head [07218];
⁵ Because ye have taken [03947] my silver [03701] and my gold [02091], and have carried [0935] into your temples [01964] my goodly [02896] pleasant things [04261]:
⁶ The children [01121] also of Judah [03063] and the children [01121] of Jerusalem [03389] have ye sold [04376] unto the Grecians [03125] [01121], that ye might remove them far [07368] from their border [01366].
⁷ Behold, I will raise [05782] them out of the place [04725] whither ye have sold [04376] them, and will return [07725] your recompence [01576] upon your own head [07218]:
⁸ And I will sell [04376] your sons [01121] and your daughters [01323] into the hand [03027] of the children [01121] of Judah [03063], and they shall sell [04376] them to the Sabeans [07615], to a people [01471] far off [07350]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it.

⁵ Afterward [0310] shall the children [01121] of Israel [03478] return [07725], and seek [01245] the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and David [01732] their king [04428]; and shall fear [06342] the LORD [03068] and his goodness [02898] in the latter [0319] days [03117].

⁴ For the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall abide [03427] many [07227] days [03117] without a king [04428], and without a prince [08269], and without a sacrifice [02077], and without an image [04676], and without an ephod [0646], and without teraphim [08655]:

²⁹ I will also save [03467] you from all your uncleannesses [02932]: and I will call [07121] for the corn [01715], and will increase [07235] it, and lay [05414] no famine [07458] upon you.

²⁵ Then will I sprinkle [02236] clean [02889] water [04325] upon you, and ye shall be clean [02891]: from all your filthiness [02932], and from all your idols [01544], will I cleanse [02891] you.

²¹ But I had pity [02550] for mine holy [06944] name [08034], which the house [01004] of Israel [03478] had profaned [02490] among the heathen [01471], whither they went [0935].
²² Therefore say [0559] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I do [06213] not this for your sakes, O house [01004] of Israel [03478], but for mine holy [06944] name's [08034] sake, which ye have profaned [02490] among the heathen [01471], whither ye went [0935].
²³ And I will sanctify [06942] my great [01419] name [08034], which was profaned [02490] among the heathen [01471], which ye have profaned [02490] in the midst [08432] of them; and the heathen [01471] shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], when I shall be sanctified [06942] in you before their eyes [05869].
²⁴ For I will take [03947] you from among [04480] the heathen [01471], and gather [06908] you out of all countries [0776], and will bring [0935] you into your own land [0127].
²⁵ Then will I sprinkle [02236] clean [02889] water [04325] upon you, and ye shall be clean [02891]: from all your filthiness [02932], and from all your idols [01544], will I cleanse [02891] you.
²⁶ A new [02319] heart [03820] also will I give [05414] you, and a new [02319] spirit [07307] will I put [05414] within [07130] you: and I will take away [05493] the stony [068] heart [03820] out of your flesh [01320], and I will give [05414] you an heart [03820] of flesh [01320].
²⁷ And I will put [05414] my spirit [07307] within [07130] you, and cause [06213] you to walk [03212] in my statutes [02706], and ye shall keep [08104] my judgments [04941], and do [06213] them.
²⁸ And ye shall dwell [03427] in the land [0776] that I gave [05414] to your fathers [01]; and ye shall be my people [05971], and I will be your God [0430].

³⁷ Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will yet for this be enquired [01875] of by the house [01004] of Israel [03478], to do [06213] it for them; I will increase [07235] them with men [0120] like a flock [06629].

²² Therefore say [0559] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I do [06213] not this for your sakes, O house [01004] of Israel [03478], but for mine holy [06944] name's [08034] sake, which ye have profaned [02490] among the heathen [01471], whither ye went [0935].
²³ And I will sanctify [06942] my great [01419] name [08034], which was profaned [02490] among the heathen [01471], which ye have profaned [02490] in the midst [08432] of them; and the heathen [01471] shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], when I shall be sanctified [06942] in you before their eyes [05869].
²⁴ For I will take [03947] you from among [04480] the heathen [01471], and gather [06908] you out of all countries [0776], and will bring [0935] you into your own land [0127].
²⁵ Then will I sprinkle [02236] clean [02889] water [04325] upon you, and ye shall be clean [02891]: from all your filthiness [02932], and from all your idols [01544], will I cleanse [02891] you.
²⁶ A new [02319] heart [03820] also will I give [05414] you, and a new [02319] spirit [07307] will I put [05414] within [07130] you: and I will take away [05493] the stony [068] heart [03820] out of your flesh [01320], and I will give [05414] you an heart [03820] of flesh [01320].
²⁷ And I will put [05414] my spirit [07307] within [07130] you, and cause [06213] you to walk [03212] in my statutes [02706], and ye shall keep [08104] my judgments [04941], and do [06213] them.
²⁸ And ye shall dwell [03427] in the land [0776] that I gave [05414] to your fathers [01]; and ye shall be my people [05971], and I will be your God [0430].
²⁹ I will also save [03467] you from all your uncleannesses [02932]: and I will call [07121] for the corn [01715], and will increase [07235] it, and lay [05414] no famine [07458] upon you.
³⁰ And I will multiply [07235] the fruit [06529] of the tree [06086], and the increase [08570] of the field [07704], that ye shall receive [03947] no more reproach [02781] of famine [07458] among the heathen [01471].
³¹ Then shall ye remember [02142] your own evil [07451] ways [01870], and your doings [04611] that were not good [02896], and shall lothe [06962] yourselves in your own sight [06440] for your iniquities [05771] and for your abominations [08441].
³² Not for your sakes do [06213] I this, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], be it known [03045] unto you: be ashamed [0954] and confounded [03637] for your own ways [01870], O house [01004] of Israel [03478].
³³ Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; In the day [03117] that I shall have cleansed [02891] you from all your iniquities [05771] I will also cause you to dwell [03427] in the cities [05892], and the wastes [02723] shall be builded [01129].
³⁴ And the desolate [08074] land [0776] shall be tilled [05647], whereas it lay desolate [08077] in the sight [05869] of all that passed by [05674].
³⁵ And they shall say [0559], This [01977] land [0776] that was desolate [08074] is become like the garden [01588] of Eden [05731]; and the waste [02720] and desolate [08074] and ruined [02040] cities [05892] are become fenced [01219], and are inhabited [03427].
³⁶ Then the heathen [01471] that are left [07604] round about [05439] you shall know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] build [01129] the ruined [02040] places, and plant [05193] that that was desolate [08074]: I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it, and I will do [06213] it.
³⁷ Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will yet for this be enquired [01875] of by the house [01004] of Israel [03478], to do [06213] it for them; I will increase [07235] them with men [0120] like a flock [06629].
³⁸ As the holy [06944] flock [06629], as the flock [06629] of Jerusalem [03389] in her solemn feasts [04150]; so shall the waste [02720] cities [05892] be filled [04392] with flocks [06629] of men [0120]: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].

³¹ Behold, I am against the prophets [05030], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that use [03947] their tongues [03956], and say [05001], He saith [05002].
³² Behold, I am against them that prophesy [05012] false [08267] dreams [02472], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and do tell [05608] them, and cause my people [05971] to err [08582] by their lies [08267], and by their lightness [06350]; yet I sent [07971] them not, nor commanded [06680] them: therefore they shall not profit [03276] this people [05971] at all [03276], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
³³ And when this people [05971], or the prophet [05030], or a priest [03548], shall ask [07592] thee, saying [0559], What is the burden [04853] of the LORD [03068]? thou shalt then say [0559] unto them, What burden [04853]? I will even forsake [05203] you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
³⁴ And as for the prophet [05030], and the priest [03548], and the people [05971], that shall say [0559], The burden [04853] of the LORD [03068], I will even punish [06485] that man [0376] and his house [01004].
³⁵ Thus shall ye say [0559] every one [0376] to his neighbour [07453], and every one [0376] to his brother [0251], What hath the LORD [03068] answered [06030]? and, What hath the LORD [03068] spoken [01696]?
³⁶ And the burden [04853] of the LORD [03068] shall ye mention [02142] no more: for every man's [0376] word [01697] shall be his burden [04853]; for ye have perverted [02015] the words [01697] of the living [02416] God [0430], of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] our God [0430].
³⁷ Thus shalt thou say [0559] to the prophet [05030], What hath the LORD [03068] answered [06030] thee? and, What hath the LORD [03068] spoken [01696]?
³⁸ But [0518] since ye say [0559], The burden [04853] of the LORD [03068]; therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Because ye say [0559] this word [01697], The burden [04853] of the LORD [03068], and I have sent [07971] unto you, saying [0559], Ye shall not say [0559], The burden [04853] of the LORD [03068];
³⁹ Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly [05377] forget [05382] you, and I will forsake [05203] you, and the city [05892] that I gave [05414] you and your fathers [01], and cast you out of my presence [06440]:
⁴⁰ And I will bring [05414] an everlasting [05769] reproach [02781] upon you, and a perpetual [05769] shame [03640], which shall not be forgotten [07911].

⁷ Therefore, behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that they shall no more say [0559], The LORD [03068] liveth [02416], which brought up [05927] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714];
⁸ But, The LORD [03068] liveth [02416], which brought up [05927] and which led [0935] the seed [02233] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] out of the north [06828] country [0776], and from all countries [0776] whither I had driven [05080] them; and they shall dwell [03427] in their own land [0127].
⁹ Mine heart [03820] within [07130] me is broken [07665] because of the prophets [05030]; all my bones [06106] shake [07363]; I am like a drunken [07910] man [0376], and like a man [01397] whom wine [03196] hath overcome [05674], because [06440] of the LORD [03068], and because of the words [01697] of his holiness [06944].
¹⁰ For the land [0776] is full [04390] of adulterers [05003]; for because [06440] of swearing [0423] the land [0776] mourneth [056]; the pleasant places [04999] of the wilderness [04057] are dried up [03001], and their course [04794] is evil [07451], and their force [01369] is not right.
¹¹ For both prophet [05030] and priest [03548] are profane [02610]; yea, in my house [01004] have I found [04672] their wickedness [07451], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
¹² Wherefore their way [01870] shall be unto them as slippery [02519] ways in the darkness [0653]: they shall be driven on [01760], and fall [05307] therein: for I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon them, even the year [08141] of their visitation [06486], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
¹³ And I have seen [07200] folly [08604] in the prophets [05030] of Samaria [08111]; they prophesied [05012] in Baal [01168], and caused my people [05971] Israel [03478] to err [08582].
¹⁴ I have seen [07200] also in the prophets [05030] of Jerusalem [03389] an horrible thing [08186]: they commit adultery [05003], and walk [01980] in lies [08267]: they strengthen [02388] also the hands [03027] of evildoers [07489], that none [0376] doth return [07725] from his wickedness [07451]: they are all of them unto me as Sodom [05467], and the inhabitants [03427] thereof as Gomorrah [06017].

³¹ Behold, I am against the prophets [05030], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that use [03947] their tongues [03956], and say [05001], He saith [05002].

¹ Woe [01945] be unto the pastors [07462] that destroy [06] and scatter [06327] the sheep [06629] of my pasture [04830]! saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
² Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] against the pastors [07462] that feed [07462] my people [05971]; Ye have scattered [06327] my flock [06629], and driven them away [05080], and have not visited [06485] them: behold, I will visit [06485] upon you the evil [07455] of your doings [04611], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
³ And I will gather [06908] the remnant [07611] of my flock [06629] out of all countries [0776] whither I have driven [05080] them, and will bring them again [07725] to their folds [05116]; and they shall be fruitful [06509] and increase [07235].
⁴ And I will set up [06965] shepherds [07462] over them which shall feed [07462] them: and they shall fear [03372] no more, nor be dismayed [02865], neither shall they be lacking [06485], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
⁵ Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will raise [06965] unto David [01732] a righteous [06662] Branch [06780], and a King [04428] shall reign [04427] and prosper [07919], and shall execute [06213] judgment [04941] and justice [06666] in the earth [0776].
⁶ In his days [03117] Judah [03063] shall be saved [03467], and Israel [03478] shall dwell [07931] safely [0983]: and this is his name [08034] whereby he shall be called [07121], THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS [03072].
⁷ Therefore, behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that they shall no more say [0559], The LORD [03068] liveth [02416], which brought up [05927] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714];
⁸ But, The LORD [03068] liveth [02416], which brought up [05927] and which led [0935] the seed [02233] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] out of the north [06828] country [0776], and from all countries [0776] whither I had driven [05080] them; and they shall dwell [03427] in their own land [0127].
⁹ Mine heart [03820] within [07130] me is broken [07665] because of the prophets [05030]; all my bones [06106] shake [07363]; I am like a drunken [07910] man [0376], and like a man [01397] whom wine [03196] hath overcome [05674], because [06440] of the LORD [03068], and because of the words [01697] of his holiness [06944].

³⁰ Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets [05030], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that steal [01589] my words [01697] every one [0376] from his neighbour [07453].

³ And I will gather [06908] the remnant [07611] of my flock [06629] out of all countries [0776] whither I have driven [05080] them, and will bring them again [07725] to their folds [05116]; and they shall be fruitful [06509] and increase [07235].
⁴ And I will set up [06965] shepherds [07462] over them which shall feed [07462] them: and they shall fear [03372] no more, nor be dismayed [02865], neither shall they be lacking [06485], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
⁵ Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will raise [06965] unto David [01732] a righteous [06662] Branch [06780], and a King [04428] shall reign [04427] and prosper [07919], and shall execute [06213] judgment [04941] and justice [06666] in the earth [0776].
⁶ In his days [03117] Judah [03063] shall be saved [03467], and Israel [03478] shall dwell [07931] safely [0983]: and this is his name [08034] whereby he shall be called [07121], THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS [03072].
⁷ Therefore, behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that they shall no more say [0559], The LORD [03068] liveth [02416], which brought up [05927] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714];
⁸ But, The LORD [03068] liveth [02416], which brought up [05927] and which led [0935] the seed [02233] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] out of the north [06828] country [0776], and from all countries [0776] whither I had driven [05080] them; and they shall dwell [03427] in their own land [0127].

¹ And there shall come forth [03318] a rod [02415] out of the stem [01503] of Jesse [03448], and a Branch [05342] shall grow [06509] out of his roots [08328]:
² And the spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] shall rest [05117] upon him, the spirit [07307] of wisdom [02451] and understanding [0998], the spirit [07307] of counsel [06098] and might [01369], the spirit [07307] of knowledge [01847] and of the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068];
³ And shall make him of quick understanding [07306] in the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068]: and he shall not judge [08199] after the sight [04758] of his eyes [05869], neither reprove [03198] after the hearing [04926] of his ears [0241]:
⁴ But with righteousness [06664] shall he judge [08199] the poor [01800], and reprove [03198] with equity [04334] for the meek [06035] of the earth [0776]: and he shall smite [05221] the earth [0776] with the rod [07626] of his mouth [06310], and with the breath [07307] of his lips [08193] shall he slay [04191] the wicked [07563].
⁵ And righteousness [06664] shall be the girdle [0232] of his loins [04975], and faithfulness [0530] the girdle [0232] of his reins [02504].
⁶ The wolf [02061] also shall dwell [01481] with the lamb [03532], and the leopard [05246] shall lie down [07257] with the kid [01423]; and the calf [05695] and the young lion [03715] and the fatling [04806] together [03162]; and a little [06996] child [05288] shall lead [05090] them.
⁷ And the cow [06510] and the bear [01677] shall feed [07462]; their young ones [03206] shall lie down [07257] together [03162]: and the lion [0738] shall eat [0398] straw [08401] like the ox [01241].
⁸ And the sucking child [03243] shall play [08173] on the hole [02352] of the asp [06620], and the weaned child [01580] shall put [01911] his hand [03027] on the cockatrice [06848]' den [03975].
⁹ They shall not hurt [07489] nor destroy [07843] in all my holy [06944] mountain [02022]: for the earth [0776] shall be full [04390] of the knowledge [01844] of the LORD [03068], as the waters [04325] cover [03680] the sea [03220].
¹⁰ And in that day [03117] there shall be a root [08328] of Jesse [03448], which shall stand [05975] for an ensign [05251] of the people [05971]; to it shall the Gentiles [01471] seek [01875]: and his rest [04496] shall be glorious [03519].
¹¹ And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the Lord [0136] shall set [03254] his hand [03027] again [03254] the second time [08145] to recover [07069] the remnant [07605] of his people [05971], which shall be left [07604], from Assyria [0804], and from Egypt [04714], and from Pathros [06624], and from Cush [03568], and from Elam [05867], and from Shinar [08152], and from Hamath [02574], and from the islands [0339] of the sea [03220].
¹² And he shall set up [05375] an ensign [05251] for the nations [01471], and shall assemble [0622] the outcasts [01760] of Israel [03478], and gather together [06908] the dispersed [05310] of Judah [03063] from the four [0702] corners [03671] of the earth [0776].

⁷ Your country [0776] is desolate [08077], your cities [05892] are burned [08313] with fire [0784]: your land [0127], strangers [02114] devour [0398] it in your presence, and it is desolate [08077], as overthrown [04114] by strangers [02114].

⁶ From the sole [03709] of the foot [07272] even unto the head [07218] there is no soundness [04974] in it; but wounds [06482], and bruises [02250], and putrifying [02961] sores [04347]: they have not been closed [02115], neither bound up [02280], neither mollified [07401] with ointment [08081].

⁹ Except [03884] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] had left [03498] unto us a very small [04592] remnant [08300], we should have been [01961] as Sodom [05467], and we should have been like [01819] unto Gomorrah [06017].

¹ The vision [02377] of Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531], which he saw [02372] concerning Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] in the days [03117] of Uzziah [05818], Jotham [03147], Ahaz [0271], and Hezekiah [03169], kings [04428] of Judah [03063].
² Hear [08085], O heavens [08064], and give ear [0238], O earth [0776]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696], I have nourished [01431] and brought up [07311] children [01121], and they have rebelled [06586] against me.
³ The ox [07794] knoweth [03045] his owner [07069], and the ass [02543] his master's [01167] crib [018]: but Israel [03478] doth not know [03045], my people [05971] doth not consider [0995].
⁴ Ah [01945] sinful [02398] nation [01471], a people [05971] laden [03515] with iniquity [05771], a seed [02233] of evildoers [07489], children [01121] that are corrupters [07843]: they have forsaken [05800] [0853] the LORD [03068], they have provoked [05006] [0853] the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478] unto anger [05006], they are gone away [02114] backward [0268].

² Hear [08085], O heavens [08064], and give ear [0238], O earth [0776]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696], I have nourished [01431] and brought up [07311] children [01121], and they have rebelled [06586] against me.

²⁴ Therefore saith [05002] the Lord [0113], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the mighty One [046] of Israel [03478], Ah [01945], I will ease [05162] me of mine adversaries [06862], and avenge [05358] me of mine enemies [0341]:
²⁵ And I will turn [07725] my hand [03027] upon thee, and purely [01253] purge away [06884] thy dross [05509], and take away [05493] all thy tin [0913]:
²⁶ And I will restore [07725] thy judges [08199] as at the first [07223], and thy counsellors [03289] as at the beginning [08462]: afterward [0310] thou shalt be called [07121], The city [05892] of righteousness [06664], the faithful [0539] city [07151].

²⁶ And [2532] so [3779] all [3956] Israel [2474] shall be saved [4982]: as [2531] it is written [1125], There shall come [2240] out of [1537] Sion [4622] the Deliverer [4506], and [2532] shall turn away [654] ungodliness [763] from [575] Jacob [2384]:

¹ Now Moses [04872] kept [01961] [07462] the flock [06629] of Jethro [03503] his father in law [02859], the priest [03548] of Midian [04080]: and he led [05090] the flock [06629] to the backside [0310] of the desert [04057], and came [0935] to the mountain [02022] of God [0430], even to Horeb [02722].
² And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto him in a flame [03827] of fire [0784] out of the midst [08432] of a bush [05572]: and he looked [07200], and, behold, the bush [05572] burned [01197] with fire [0784], and the bush [05572] was not consumed [0398].
³ And Moses [04872] said [0559], I will now turn aside [05493], and see [07200] this great [01419] sight [04758], why [04069] the bush [05572] is not burnt [01197].
⁴ And when the LORD [03068] saw [07200] that he turned aside [05493] to see [07200], God [0430] called [07121] unto him out of the midst [08432] of the bush [05572], and said [0559], Moses [04872], Moses [04872]. And he said [0559], Here am I.
⁵ And he said [0559], Draw not nigh [07126] hither [01988]: put off [05394] thy shoes [05275] from off thy feet [07272], for the place [04725] whereon [0834] thou standest [05975] is holy [06944] ground [0127].
⁶ Moreover he said [0559], I am the God [0430] of thy father [01], the God [0430] of Abraham [085], the God [0430] of Isaac [03327], and the God [0430] of Jacob [03290]. And Moses [04872] hid [05641] his face [06440]; for he was afraid [03372] to look [05027] upon God [0430].
⁷ And the LORD [03068] said [0559], I have surely [07200] seen [07200] the affliction [06040] of my people [05971] which are in Egypt [04714], and have heard [08085] their cry [06818] by reason [06440] of their taskmasters [05065]; for I know [03045] their sorrows [04341];
⁸ And I am come down [03381] to deliver [05337] them out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714], and to bring [05927] them up out of that land [0776] unto a good [02896] land [0776] and a large [07342], unto a land [0776] flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; unto the place [04725] of the Canaanites [03669], and the Hittites [02850], and the Amorites [0567], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983].
⁹ Now therefore, behold, the cry [06818] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] is come [0935] unto me: and I have also seen [07200] the oppression [03906] wherewith the Egyptians [04714] oppress [03905] them.
¹⁰ Come [03212] now therefore, and I will send [07971] thee unto Pharaoh [06547], that thou mayest bring forth [03318] my people [05971] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714].
¹¹ And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto God [0430], Who am I, that I should go [03212] unto Pharaoh [06547], and that I should bring forth [03318] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714]?
¹² And he said [0559], Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token [0226] unto thee, that [03588] I have sent [07971] thee: When thou hast brought forth [03318] the people [05971] out of Egypt [04714], ye shall serve [05647] God [0430] upon this mountain [02022].
¹³ And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto God [0430], Behold, when I come [0935] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and shall say [0559] unto them, The God [0430] of your fathers [01] hath sent [07971] me unto you; and they shall say [0559] to me, What is his name [08034]? what shall I say [0559] unto them?

¹² And he said [0559], Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token [0226] unto thee, that [03588] I have sent [07971] thee: When thou hast brought forth [03318] the people [05971] out of Egypt [04714], ye shall serve [05647] God [0430] upon this mountain [02022].

¹⁵ And God [0430] said [0559] moreover [05750] unto Moses [04872], Thus shalt thou say [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], The LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01], the God [0430] of Abraham [085], the God [0430] of Isaac [03327], and the God [0430] of Jacob [03290], hath sent [07971] me unto you: this is my name [08034] for ever [05769], and this is my memorial [02143] unto all [01755] generations [01755].

¹⁵ For all the land [0776] which thou seest [07200], to thee will I give it [05414], and to thy seed [02233] for [05704] ever [05769].
¹⁶ And I will make [07760] thy seed [02233] as the dust [06083] of the earth [0776]: so that [0834] if a man [0376] can [03201] number [04487] the dust [06083] of the earth [0776], then shall thy seed [02233] also be numbered [04487].
¹⁷ Arise [06965], walk [01980] through the land [0776] in the length [0753] of it and in the breadth [07341] of it; for I will give [05414] it unto thee.

¹ Maschil [04905] of Asaph [0623]. Give ear [0238], O my people [05971], to my law [08451]: incline [05186] your ears [0241] to the words [0561] of my mouth [06310].
² I will open [06605] my mouth [06310] in a parable [04912]: I will utter [05042] dark sayings [02420] of old [06924]:
³ Which we have heard [08085] and known [03045], and our fathers [01] have told [05608] us.
⁴ We will not hide [03582] them from their children [01121], shewing [05608] to the generation [01755] to come [0314] the praises [08416] of the LORD [03068], and his strength [05807], and his wonderful works [06381] that he hath done [06213].
⁵ For he established [06965] a testimony [05715] in Jacob [03290], and appointed [07760] a law [08451] in Israel [03478], which he commanded [06680] our fathers [01], that they should make them known [03045] to their children [01121]:
⁶ That the generation [01755] to come [0314] might know [03045] them, even the children [01121] which should be born [03205]; who should arise [06965] and declare [05608] them to their children [01121]:
⁷ That they might set [07760] their hope [03689] in God [0430], and not forget [07911] the works [04611] of God [0410], but keep [05341] his commandments [04687]:
⁸ And might not be as their fathers [01], a stubborn [05637] and rebellious [04784] generation [01755]; a generation [01755] that set [03559] not their heart [03820] aright [03559], and whose spirit [07307] was not stedfast [0539] with God [0410].

¹⁰ They kept [08104] not the covenant [01285] of God [0430], and refused [03985] to walk [03212] in his law [08451];
¹¹ And forgat [07911] his works [05949], and his wonders [06381] that he had shewed [07200] them.
¹² Marvellous things [06382] did [06213] he in the sight [05048] of their fathers [01], in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in the field [07704] of Zoan [06814].
¹³ He divided [01234] the sea [03220], and caused them to pass through [05674]; and he made the waters [04325] to stand [05324] as an heap [05067].
¹⁴ In the daytime [03119] also he led [05148] them with a cloud [06051], and all the night [03915] with a light [0216] of fire [0784].
¹⁵ He clave [01234] the rocks [06697] in the wilderness [04057], and gave them drink [08248] as out of the great [07227] depths [08415].
¹⁶ He brought [03318] streams [05140] also out of the rock [05553], and caused waters [04325] to run down [03381] like rivers [05104].
¹⁷ And they sinned [02398] yet more [03254] against him by provoking [04784] the most High [05945] in the wilderness [06723].
¹⁸ And they tempted [05254] God [0410] in their heart [03824] by asking [07592] meat [0400] for their lust [05315].
¹⁹ Yea, they spake [01696] against God [0430]; they said [0559], Can [03201] God [0410] furnish [06186] a table [07979] in the wilderness [04057]?
²⁰ Behold, he smote [05221] the rock [06697], that the waters [04325] gushed out [02100], and the streams [05158] overflowed [07857]; can [03201] he give [05414] bread [03899] also? can [03201] he provide [03559] flesh [07607] for his people [05971]?
²¹ Therefore the LORD [03068] heard [08085] this, and was wroth [05674]: so a fire [0784] was kindled [05400] against Jacob [03290], and anger [0639] also came up [05927] against Israel [03478];
²² Because they believed [0539] not in God [0430], and trusted [0982] not in his salvation [03444]:
²³ Though he had commanded [06680] the clouds [07834] from above [04605], and opened [06605] the doors [01817] of heaven [08064],
²⁴ And had rained down [04305] manna [04478] upon them to eat [0398], and had given [05414] them of the corn [01715] of heaven [08064].
²⁵ Man [0376] did eat [0398] angels [047]' food [03899]: he sent [07971] them meat [06720] to the full [07648].
²⁶ He caused an east wind [06921] to blow [05265] in the heaven [08064]: and by his power [05797] he brought in [05090] the south wind [08486].
²⁷ He rained [04305] flesh [07607] also upon them as dust [06083], and feathered [03671] fowls [05775] like as the sand [02344] of the sea [03220]:
²⁸ And he let it fall [05307] in the midst [07130] of their camp [04264], round about [05439] their habitations [04908].
²⁹ So they did eat [0398], and were well [03966] filled [07646]: for he gave [0935] them their own desire [08378];
³⁰ They were not estranged [02114] from their lust [08378]. But while their meat [0400] was yet in their mouths [06310],
³¹ The wrath [0639] of God [0430] came [05927] upon them, and slew [02026] the fattest [04924] of them, and smote down [03766] the chosen [0970] men of Israel [03478].
³² For all this they sinned [02398] still, and believed [0539] not for his wondrous works [06381].
³³ Therefore their days [03117] did he consume [03615] in vanity [01892], and their years [08141] in trouble [0928].
³⁴ When he slew [02026] them, then they sought [01875] him: and they returned [07725] and enquired early [07836] after God [0410].
³⁵ And they remembered [02142] that God [0430] was their rock [06697], and the high [05945] God [0410] their redeemer [01350].
³⁶ Nevertheless they did flatter [06601] him with their mouth [06310], and they lied [03576] unto him with their tongues [03956].
³⁷ For their heart [03820] was not right [03559] with him, neither were they stedfast [0539] in his covenant [01285].
³⁸ But he, being full of compassion [07349], forgave [03722] their iniquity [05771], and destroyed [07843] them not: yea, many a time [07235] turned [07725] he his anger [0639] away [07725], and did not stir up [05782] all his wrath [02534].
³⁹ For he remembered [02142] that they were but flesh [01320]; a wind [07307] that passeth away [01980], and cometh not again [07725].
⁴⁰ How [04100] oft did they provoke [04784] him in the wilderness [04057], and grieve [06087] him in the desert [03452]!
⁴¹ Yea, they turned back [07725] and tempted [05254] God [0410], and limited [08428] the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478].
⁴² They remembered [02142] not his hand [03027], nor the day [03117] when he delivered [06299] them from the enemy [06862].
⁴³ How he had wrought [07760] his signs [0226] in Egypt [04714], and his wonders [04159] in the field [07704] of Zoan [06814]:
⁴⁴ And had turned [02015] their rivers [02975] into blood [01818]; and their floods [05140], that they could not drink [08354].
⁴⁵ He sent [07971] divers sorts of flies [06157] among them, which devoured [0398] them; and frogs [06854], which destroyed [07843] them.
⁴⁶ He gave [05414] also their increase [02981] unto the caterpiller [02625], and their labour [03018] unto the locust [0697].
⁴⁷ He destroyed [02026] their vines [01612] with hail [01259], and their sycomore trees [08256] with frost [02602].
⁴⁸ He gave up [05462] their cattle [01165] also to the hail [01259], and their flocks [04735] to hot thunderbolts [07565].
⁴⁹ He cast [07971] upon them the fierceness [02740] of his anger [0639], wrath [05678], and indignation [02195], and trouble [06869], by sending [04917] evil [07451] angels [04397] among them.
⁵⁰ He made [06424] a way [05410] to his anger [0639]; he spared [02820] not their soul [05315] from death [04194], but gave [05462] their life [02416] over [05462] to the pestilence [01698];
⁵¹ And smote [05221] all the firstborn [01060] in Egypt [04714]; the chief [07225] of their strength [0202] in the tabernacles [0168] of Ham [02526]:
⁵² But made his own people [05971] to go forth [05265] like sheep [06629], and guided [05090] them in the wilderness [04057] like a flock [05739].
⁵³ And he led [05148] them on safely [0983], so that they feared [06342] not: but the sea [03220] overwhelmed [03680] their enemies [0341].
⁵⁴ And he brought [0935] them to the border [01366] of his sanctuary [06944], even to this mountain [02022], which his right hand [03225] had purchased [07069].
⁵⁵ He cast out [01644] the heathen [01471] also before [06440] them, and divided [05307] them an inheritance [05159] by line [02256], and made the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] to dwell [07931] in their tents [0168].
⁵⁶ Yet they tempted [05254] and provoked [04784] the most high [05945] God [0430], and kept [08104] not his testimonies [05713]:
⁵⁷ But turned back [05472], and dealt unfaithfully [0898] like their fathers [01]: they were turned aside [02015] like a deceitful [07423] bow [07198].
⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger [03707] with their high places [01116], and moved him to jealousy [07065] with their graven images [06456].
⁵⁹ When God [0430] heard [08085] this, he was wroth [05674], and greatly [03966] abhorred [03988] Israel [03478]:
⁶⁰ So that he forsook [05203] the tabernacle [04908] of Shiloh [07887], the tent [0168] which he placed [07931] among men [0120];
⁶¹ And delivered [05414] his strength [05797] into captivity [07628], and his glory [08597] into the enemy's [06862] hand [03027].
⁶² He gave [05462] his people [05971] over [05462] also unto the sword [02719]; and was wroth [05674] with his inheritance [05159].
⁶³ The fire [0784] consumed [0398] their young men [0970]; and their maidens [01330] were not given to marriage [01984].
⁶⁴ Their priests [03548] fell [05307] by the sword [02719]; and their widows [0490] made no lamentation [01058].
⁶⁵ Then the Lord [0136] awaked [03364] as one out of sleep [03463], and like a mighty man [01368] that shouteth [07442] by reason of wine [03196].
⁶⁶ And he smote [05221] his enemies [06862] in the hinder parts [0268]: he put [05414] them to a perpetual [05769] reproach [02781].
⁶⁷ Moreover he refused [03988] the tabernacle [0168] of Joseph [03130], and chose [0977] not the tribe [07626] of Ephraim [0669]:
⁶⁸ But chose [0977] the tribe [07626] of Judah [03063], the mount [02022] Zion [06726] which he loved [0157].
⁶⁹ And he built [01129] his sanctuary [04720] like high [07311] palaces, like the earth [0776] which he hath established [03245] for ever [05769].
⁷⁰ He chose [0977] David [01732] also his servant [05650], and took [03947] him from the sheepfolds [04356] [06629]:
⁷¹ From following [0310] the ewes great with young [05763] he brought [0935] him to feed [07462] Jacob [03290] his people [05971], and Israel [03478] his inheritance [05159].
⁷² So he fed [07462] them according to the integrity [08537] of his heart [03824]; and guided [05148] them by the skilfulness [08394] of his hands [03709].

¹ And it came to pass in the month [02320] Nisan [05212], in the twentieth [06242] year [08141] of Artaxerxes [0783] the king [04428], that wine [03196] was before [06440] him: and I took up [05375] the wine [03196], and gave [05414] it unto the king [04428]. Now I had not been beforetime sad [07451] in his presence [06440].
² Wherefore the king [04428] said [0559] unto me, Why is thy countenance [06440] sad [07451], seeing thou art not sick [02470]? this is nothing else but sorrow [07455] of heart [03820]. Then I was very [03966] sore [07235] afraid [03372],
³ And said [0559] unto the king [04428], Let the king [04428] live [02421] for ever [05769]: why should not my countenance [06440] be sad [03415], when the city [05892], the place [01004] of my fathers [01]' sepulchres [06913], lieth waste [02720], and the gates [08179] thereof are consumed [0398] with fire [0784]?
⁴ Then the king [04428] said [0559] unto me, For what dost thou make request [01245]? So I prayed [06419] to the God [0430] of heaven [08064].
⁵ And I said [0559] unto the king [04428], If it please [02895] the king [04428], and if thy servant [05650] have found favour [03190] in thy sight [06440], that thou wouldest send [07971] me unto Judah [03063], unto the city [05892] of my fathers [01]' sepulchres [06913], that I may build [01129] it.
⁶ And the king [04428] said [0559] unto me, (the queen [07694] also sitting [03427] by him [0681],) For how long shall thy journey [04109] be? and when wilt thou return [07725]? So it pleased [03190] [06440] the king [04428] to send [07971] me; and I set [05414] him a time [02165].
⁷ Moreover I said [0559] unto the king [04428], If it please [02895] the king [04428], let letters [0107] be given [05414] me to the governors [06346] beyond [05676] the river [05104], that they may convey me over [05674] till I come [0935] into Judah [03063];
⁸ And a letter [0107] unto Asaph [0623] the keeper [08104] of the king's [04428] forest [06508], that he may give [05414] me timber [06086] to make beams [07136] for the gates [08179] of the palace [01002] which appertained to the house [01004], and for the wall [02346] of the city [05892], and for the house [01004] that I shall enter into [0935]. And the king [04428] granted [05414] me, according to the good [02896] hand [03027] of my God [0430] upon me.

⁸ And a letter [0107] unto Asaph [0623] the keeper [08104] of the king's [04428] forest [06508], that he may give [05414] me timber [06086] to make beams [07136] for the gates [08179] of the palace [01002] which appertained to the house [01004], and for the wall [02346] of the city [05892], and for the house [01004] that I shall enter into [0935]. And the king [04428] granted [05414] me, according to the good [02896] hand [03027] of my God [0430] upon me.

⁶ And all they that were about [05439] them strengthened [02388] their hands [03027] with vessels [03627] of silver [03701], with gold [02091], with goods [07399], and with beasts [0929], and with precious things [04030], beside all that was willingly offered [05068].

³ Who is there among you of all his people [05971]? his God [0430] be with him, and let him go up [05927] to Jerusalem [03389], which is in Judah [03063], and build [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], (he is the God [0430],) which is in Jerusalem [03389].
⁴ And whosoever remaineth [07604] in any place [04725] where he sojourneth [01481], let the men [0582] of his place [04725] help [05375] him with silver [03701], and with gold [02091], and with goods [07399], and with beasts [0929], beside the freewill offering [05071] for the house [01004] of God [0430] that is in Jerusalem [03389].
⁵ Then rose up [06965] the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144], and the priests [03548], and the Levites [03881], with all them whose spirit [07307] God [0430] had raised [05782], to go up [05927] to build [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] which is in Jerusalem [03389].

¹ In the twelfth [08147] [06240] year [08141] of Ahaz [0271] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began Hoshea [01954] the son [01121] of Elah [0425] to reign [04427] in Samaria [08111] over Israel [03478] nine [08672] years [08141].
² And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], but not as the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] that were before [06440] him.
³ Against him came up [05927] Shalmaneser [08022] king [04428] of Assyria [0804]; and Hoshea [01954] became his servant [05650], and gave [07725] him presents [04503].
⁴ And the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] found [04672] conspiracy [07195] in Hoshea [01954]: for he had sent [07971] messengers [04397] to So [05471] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and brought [05927] no present [04503] to the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], as he had done year [08141] by year [08141]: therefore the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] shut him up [06113], and bound [0631] him in prison [01004] [03608].
⁵ Then the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] came up [05927] throughout all the land [0776], and went up [05927] to Samaria [08111], and besieged [06696] it three [07969] years [08141].
⁶ In the ninth [08671] year [08141] of Hoshea [01954] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] took [03920] Samaria [08111], and carried [01540] Israel [03478] away [01540] into Assyria [0804], and placed [03427] them in Halah [02477] and in Habor [02249] by the river [05104] of Gozan [01470], and in the cities [05892] of the Medes [04074].
⁷ For so it was, that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] had sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068] their God [0430], which had brought them up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from under the hand [03027] of Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and had feared [03372] other [0312] gods [0430],

²⁵ And so it was at the beginning [08462] of their dwelling [03427] there, that they feared [03372] not the LORD [03068]: therefore the LORD [03068] sent [07971] lions [0738] among them, which slew [02026] some of them.

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]:
¹² For they served [05647] idols [01544], whereof the LORD [03068] had said [0559] unto them, Ye shall not do [06213] this thing [01697].
¹³ Yet the LORD [03068] testified [05749] against Israel [03478], and against Judah [03063], by [03027] all the prophets [05030], and by all the seers [02374], saying [0559], Turn [07725] ye from your evil [07451] ways [01870], and keep [08104] my commandments [04687] and my statutes [02708], according to all the law [08451] which I commanded [06680] your fathers [01], and which I sent [07971] to you by [03027] my servants [05650] the prophets [05030].
¹⁴ Notwithstanding they would not hear [08085], but hardened [07185] their necks [06203], like to the neck [06203] of their fathers [01], that did not believe [0539] in the LORD [03068] their God [0430].
¹⁵ And they rejected [03988] his statutes [02706], and his covenant [01285] that he made [03772] with their fathers [01], and his testimonies [05715] which he testified [05749] against them; and they followed [03212] [0310] vanity [01892], and became vain [01891], and went after [0310] the heathen [01471] that were round about [05439] them, concerning whom the LORD [03068] had charged [06680] them, that they should not do [06213] like them.
¹⁶ And they left [05800] all the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and made [06213] them molten images [04541], even two [08147] calves [05695], and made [06213] a grove [0842], and worshipped [07812] all the host [06635] of heaven [08064], and served [05647] Baal [01168].

²⁴ And the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] brought [0935] men from Babylon [0894], and from Cuthah [03575], and from Ava [05755], and from Hamath [02574], and from Sepharvaim [05617], and placed [03427] them in the cities [05892] of Samaria [08111] instead of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: and they possessed [03423] Samaria [08111], and dwelt [03427] in the cities [05892] thereof.

⁶ In the ninth [08671] year [08141] of Hoshea [01954] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] took [03920] Samaria [08111], and carried [01540] Israel [03478] away [01540] into Assyria [0804], and placed [03427] them in Halah [02477] and in Habor [02249] by the river [05104] of Gozan [01470], and in the cities [05892] of the Medes [04074].
⁷ For so it was, that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] had sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068] their God [0430], which had brought them up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from under the hand [03027] of Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and had feared [03372] other [0312] gods [0430],
⁸ And walked [03212] in the statutes [02708] of the heathen [01471], whom the LORD [03068] cast out [03423] from before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478], which they had made [06213].
⁹ And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did secretly [02644] those things [01697] that were not right against the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and they built [01129] them high places [01116] in all their cities [05892], from the tower [04026] of the watchmen [05341] to the fenced [04013] city [05892].
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]:
¹² For they served [05647] idols [01544], whereof the LORD [03068] had said [0559] unto them, Ye shall not do [06213] this thing [01697].
¹³ Yet the LORD [03068] testified [05749] against Israel [03478], and against Judah [03063], by [03027] all the prophets [05030], and by all the seers [02374], saying [0559], Turn [07725] ye from your evil [07451] ways [01870], and keep [08104] my commandments [04687] and my statutes [02708], according to all the law [08451] which I commanded [06680] your fathers [01], and which I sent [07971] to you by [03027] my servants [05650] the prophets [05030].
¹⁴ Notwithstanding they would not hear [08085], but hardened [07185] their necks [06203], like to the neck [06203] of their fathers [01], that did not believe [0539] in the LORD [03068] their God [0430].
¹⁵ And they rejected [03988] his statutes [02706], and his covenant [01285] that he made [03772] with their fathers [01], and his testimonies [05715] which he testified [05749] against them; and they followed [03212] [0310] vanity [01892], and became vain [01891], and went after [0310] the heathen [01471] that were round about [05439] them, concerning whom the LORD [03068] had charged [06680] them, that they should not do [06213] like them.
¹⁶ And they left [05800] all the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and made [06213] them molten images [04541], even two [08147] calves [05695], and made [06213] a grove [0842], and worshipped [07812] all the host [06635] of heaven [08064], and served [05647] Baal [01168].
¹⁷ And they caused their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323] to pass [05674] through the fire [0784], and used [07080] divination [07081] and enchantments [05172], and sold [04376] themselves to do [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], to provoke him to anger [03707].
¹⁸ Therefore the LORD [03068] was very [03966] angry [0599] with Israel [03478], and removed [05493] them out of his sight [06440]: there was none left [07604] but the tribe [07626] of Judah [03063] only.
¹⁹ Also Judah [03063] kept [08104] not the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430], but walked [03212] in the statutes [02708] of Israel [03478] which they made [06213].
²⁰ And the LORD [03068] rejected [03988] all the seed [02233] of Israel [03478], and afflicted [06031] them, and delivered [05414] them into the hand [03027] of spoilers [08154], until he had cast [07993] them out of his sight [06440].
²¹ For he rent [07167] Israel [03478] from the house [01004] of David [01732]; and they made Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028] king [04427]: and Jeroboam [03379] drave [05080] [05077] Israel [03478] from following [0310] the LORD [03068], and made them sin [02398] a great [01419] sin [02401].
²² For the children [01121] of Israel [03478] walked [03212] in all the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] which he did [06213]; they departed [05493] not from them;
²³ Until the LORD [03068] removed [05493] Israel [03478] out of his sight [06440], as he had said [01696] by [03027] all his servants [05650] the prophets [05030]. So was Israel [03478] carried away [01540] out of their own land [0127] to Assyria [0804] unto this day [03117].

⁸ Now therefore so 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], from following [0310] the sheep [06629], to be ruler [05057] over my people [05971], over Israel [03478]:
⁹ And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest [01980], and have cut off [03772] all thine enemies [0341] out of thy sight [06440], and have made [06213] thee a great [01419] name [08034], like unto the name [08034] of the great [01419] men that are in the earth [0776].
¹⁰ Moreover I will appoint [07760] a place [04725] for my people [05971] Israel [03478], and will plant [05193] them, that they may dwell [07931] in a place of their own, and move [07264] no more; neither shall the children [01121] of wickedness [05766] afflict [06031] them any more [03254], as beforetime [07223],
¹¹ And as since the time [03117] that I commanded [06680] judges [08199] to be over my people [05971] Israel [03478], and have caused thee to rest [05117] from all thine enemies [0341]. Also the LORD [03068] telleth [05046] thee that he will make [06213] thee an house [01004].
¹² And when thy days [03117] be fulfilled [04390], and thou shalt sleep [07901] with thy fathers [01], I will set up [06965] thy seed [02233] after [0310] thee, which shall proceed [03318] out of thy bowels [04578], and I will establish [03559] his kingdom [04467].
¹³ He shall build [01129] an house [01004] for my name [08034], and I will stablish [03559] the throne [03678] of his kingdom [04467] for [05704] ever [05769].
¹⁴ I will be his father [01], and he shall be my son [01121]. If he commit iniquity [05753], I will chasten [03198] him with the rod [07626] of men [0582], and with the stripes [05061] of the children [01121] of men [0120]:
¹⁵ But my mercy [02617] shall not depart away [05493] from him, as I took [05493] it from Saul [07586], whom I put away [05493] before [06440] thee.
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].
¹⁷ According to all these words [01697], and according to all this vision [02384], so did Nathan [05416] speak [01696] unto David [01732].

¹ And it came to pass, when Samuel [08050] was old [02204], that he made [07760] his sons [01121] judges [08199] over Israel [03478].
² Now the name [08034] of his firstborn [01121] [01060] was Joel [03100]; and the name [08034] of his second [04932], Abiah [029]: they were judges [08199] in Beersheba [0884].
³ And his sons [01121] walked [01980] not in his ways [01870], but turned aside [05186] after [0310] lucre [01215], and took [03947] bribes [07810], and perverted [05186] judgment [04941].
⁴ Then all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] gathered themselves together [06908], and came [0935] to Samuel [08050] unto Ramah [07414],
⁵ And said [0559] unto him, Behold, thou art old [02204], and thy sons [01121] walk [01980] not in thy ways [01870]: now make [07760] us a king [04428] to judge [08199] us like all the nations [01471].
⁶ But the thing [01697] displeased [03415] [05869] Samuel [08050], when they said [0559], Give [05414] us a king [04428] to judge [08199] us. And Samuel [08050] prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068].
⁷ And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Samuel [08050], Hearken [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the people [05971] in all that they say [0559] unto thee: for they have not rejected [03988] thee, but they have rejected [03988] me, that I should not reign [04427] over them.
⁸ According to all the works [04639] which they have done [06213] since the day [03117] that I brought them up [05927] out of Egypt [04714] even unto this day [03117], wherewith they have forsaken [05800] me, and served [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], so do [06213] they also unto thee.

⁸ And Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068], died [04191], being an hundred [03967] and ten [06235] years [08141] old [01121].
⁹ And they buried [06912] him in the border [01366] of his inheritance [05159] in Timnathheres [08556], in the mount [02022] of Ephraim [0669], on the north side [06828] of the hill [02022] Gaash [01608].
¹⁰ And also all that generation [01755] were gathered [0622] unto their fathers [01]: and there arose [06965] another [0312] generation [01755] after [0310] them, which knew [03045] not the LORD [03068], nor yet the works [04639] which he had done [06213] for Israel [03478].
¹¹ And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and served [05647] Baalim [01168]:
¹² And they forsook [05800] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01], which brought them out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and followed [03212] [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], of the gods [0430] of the people [05971] that were round about [05439] them, and bowed [07812] themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD [03068] to anger [03707].
¹³ And they forsook [05800] the LORD [03068], and served [05647] Baal [01168] and Ashtaroth [06252].
¹⁴ And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was hot [02734] against Israel [03478], and he delivered [05414] them into the hands [03027] of spoilers [08154] that spoiled [08155] them, and he sold [04376] them into the hands [03027] of their enemies [0341] round about [05439], so that they could [03201] not any longer [05750] stand [05975] before [06440] their enemies [0341].
¹⁵ Whithersoever they went out [03318], the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was against them for evil [07451], as the LORD [03068] had said [01696], and as the LORD [03068] had sworn [07650] unto them: and they were greatly [03966] distressed [03334].
¹⁶ Nevertheless the LORD [03068] raised up [06965] judges [08199], which delivered [03467] them out of the hand [03027] of those that spoiled [08154] them.
¹⁷ And yet they would not hearken [08085] unto their judges [08199], but they went a whoring [02181] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], and bowed [07812] themselves unto them: they turned [05493] quickly [04118] out of the way [01870] which their fathers [01] walked in [01980], obeying [08085] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068]; but they did [06213] not so.
¹⁸ And when the LORD [03068] raised [06965] them up judges [08199], then the LORD [03068] was with the judge [08199], and delivered [03467] them out of the hand [03027] of their enemies [0341] all the days [03117] of the judge [08199]: for it repented [05162] the LORD [03068] because [06440] of their groanings [05009] by reason of them that oppressed [03905] them and vexed [01766] them.

⁹ And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Come hither [05066], and hear [08085] the words [01697] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430].
¹⁰ And Joshua [03091] said [0559], Hereby ye shall know [03045] that the living [02416] God [0410] is among [07130] you, and that he will without fail [03423] drive out [03423] from before [06440] you the Canaanites [03669], and the Hittites [02850], and the Hivites [02340], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Girgashites [01622], and the Amorites [0567], and the Jebusites [02983].
¹¹ Behold, the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the Lord [0113] of all the earth [0776] passeth over [05674] before [06440] you into Jordan [03383].
¹² Now therefore take [03947] you twelve [08147] [06240] men [0376] out of the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], out of every [0259] tribe [07626] a man [0376].
¹³ And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles [03709] of the feet [07272] of the priests [03548] that bear [05375] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], the Lord [0113] of all the earth [0776], shall rest [05117] in the waters [04325] of Jordan [03383], that the waters [04325] of Jordan [03383] shall be cut off [03772] from the waters [04325] that come down [03381] from above [04605]; and they shall stand [05975] upon an [0259] heap [05067].
¹⁴ And it came to pass, when the people [05971] removed [05265] from their tents [0168], to pass over [05674] Jordan [03383], and the priests [03548] bearing [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] before [06440] the people [05971];
¹⁵ And as they that bare [05375] the ark [0727] were come [0935] unto Jordan [03383], and the feet [07272] of the priests [03548] that bare [05375] the ark [0727] were dipped [02881] in the brim [07097] of the water [04325], (for Jordan [03383] overfloweth [04390] all his banks [01415] all the time [03117] of harvest [07105],)
¹⁶ That the waters [04325] which came down [03381] from above [04605] stood [05975] and rose up [06965] upon an [0259] heap [05067] very [03966] far [07368] from the city [05892] Adam [0121], that is beside [06654] Zaretan [06891]: and those that came down [03381] toward the sea [03220] of the plain [06160], even the salt [04417] sea [03220], failed [08552], and were cut off [03772]: and the people [05971] passed over [05674] right against Jericho [03405].
¹⁷ And the priests [03548] that bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] stood [05975] firm [03559] on dry ground [02724] in the midst [08432] of Jordan [03383], and all the Israelites [03478] passed over [05674] on dry ground [02724], until all the people [01471] were passed [05674] clean [08552] over [05674] Jordan [03383].

¹ And Moses [04872] went [03212] and spake [01696] these words [01697] unto all Israel [03478].
² And he said [0559] unto them, I am an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] this day [03117]; I can [03201] no more go out [03318] and come in [0935]: also the LORD [03068] hath said [0559] unto me, Thou shalt not go over [05674] this Jordan [03383].
³ The LORD [03068] thy God [0430], he will go over [05674] before [06440] thee, and he will destroy [08045] these nations [01471] from before [06440] thee, and thou shalt possess [03423] them: and Joshua [03091], he shall go over [05674] before [06440] thee, as the LORD [03068] hath said [01696].
⁴ And the LORD [03068] shall do [06213] unto them as he did [06213] to Sihon [05511] and to Og [05747], kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567], and unto the land [0776] of them, whom he destroyed [08045].
⁵ And the LORD [03068] shall give them up [05414] before your face [06440], that ye may do [06213] unto them according unto all the commandments [04687] which I have commanded [06680] you.

⁸ And the LORD [03068], he it is that doth go [01980] before [06440] thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail [07503] thee, neither forsake [05800] thee: fear [03372] not, neither be dismayed [02865].
⁹ And Moses [04872] wrote [03789] this law [08451], and delivered [05414] it unto the priests [03548] the sons [01121] of Levi [03878], which bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], and unto all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478].

¹⁶ And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Behold, thou shalt sleep [07901] with thy fathers [01]; and this people [05971] will rise up [06965], and go a whoring [02181] after [0310] the gods [0430] of the strangers [05236] of the land [0776], whither they go [0935] to be among [07130] them, and will forsake [05800] me, and break [06565] my covenant [01285] which I have made [03772] with them.
¹⁷ Then my anger [0639] shall be kindled [02734] against them in that day [03117], and I will forsake [05800] them, and I will hide [05641] my face [06440] from them, and they shall be devoured [0398], and many [07227] evils [07451] and troubles [06869] shall befall [04672] them; so that they will say [0559] in that day [03117], Are not these evils [07451] come [04672] upon us, because our God [0430] is not among [07130] us?
¹⁸ And I will surely [05641] hide [05641] my face [06440] in that day [03117] for all the evils [07451] which they shall have wrought [06213], in that [03588] they are turned [06437] unto other [0312] gods [0430].
¹⁹ Now therefore write [03789] ye this song [07892] for you, and teach [03925] it the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: put [07760] it in their mouths [06310], that this song [07892] may be a witness [05707] for me against the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
²⁰ For when I shall have brought [0935] them into the land [0127] which I sware [07650] unto their fathers [01], that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; and they shall have eaten [0398] and filled [07646] themselves, and waxen fat [01878]; then will they turn [06437] unto other [0312] gods [0430], and serve [05647] them, and provoke [05006] me, and break [06565] my covenant [01285].
²¹ And it shall come to pass, when many [07227] evils [07451] and troubles [06869] are befallen [04672] them, that this song [07892] shall testify [06030] against [06440] them as a witness [05707]; for it shall not be forgotten [07911] out of the mouths [06310] of their seed [02233]: for I know [03045] their imagination [03336] which they go about [06213], even now [03117], before I have brought [0935] them into the land [0776] which I sware [07650].
²² Moses [04872] therefore wrote [03789] this song [07892] the same day [03117], and taught [03925] it the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
²³ And he gave Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126] a charge [06680], and said [0559], Be strong [02388] and of a good courage [0553]: for thou shalt bring [0935] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] into the land [0776] which I sware [07650] unto them: and I will be with thee.

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].
² (There are eleven [0259] [06240] days [03117]' journey from Horeb [02722] by the way [01870] of mount [02022] Seir [08165] unto Kadeshbarnea [06947].)
³ And it came to pass in the fortieth [0705] year [08141], in the eleventh [06249] [06240] month [02320], on the first [0259] day of the month [02320], that Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], according unto all that the LORD [03068] had given him in commandment [06680] unto them;
⁴ After [0310] he had slain [05221] Sihon [05511] the king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], which dwelt [03427] in Heshbon [02809], and Og [05747] the king [04428] of Bashan [01316], which dwelt [03427] at Astaroth [06252] in Edrei [0154]:
⁵ On this side [05676] Jordan [03383], in the land [0776] of Moab [04124], began [02974] Moses [04872] to declare [0874] this law [08451], saying [0559],
⁶ The LORD [03068] our God [0430] spake [01696] unto us in Horeb [02722], saying [0559], Ye have dwelt [03427] long enough [07227] in this mount [02022]:
⁷ Turn [06437] you, and take your journey [05265], and go [0935] to the mount [02022] of the Amorites [0567], and unto all the places nigh [07934] thereunto, in the plain [06160], in the hills [02022], and in the vale [08219], and in the south [05045], and by the sea [03220] side [02348], to the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and unto Lebanon [03844], unto the great [01419] river [05104], the river [05104] Euphrates [06578].

³⁰ The LORD [03068] your God [0430] which goeth [01980] before [06440] you, he shall fight [03898] for you, according to all that he did [06213] for you in Egypt [04714] before your eyes [05869];

²⁸ Whither shall we go up [05927]? our brethren [0251] have discouraged [04549] our heart [03824], saying [0559], The people [05971] is greater [01419] and taller [07311] than we; the cities [05892] are great [01419] and walled up [01219] to heaven [08064]; and moreover we have seen [07200] the sons [01121] of the Anakims [06062] there.

⁶ The LORD [03068] our God [0430] spake [01696] unto us in Horeb [02722], saying [0559], Ye have dwelt [03427] long enough [07227] in this mount [02022]:
⁷ Turn [06437] you, and take your journey [05265], and go [0935] to the mount [02022] of the Amorites [0567], and unto all the places nigh [07934] thereunto, in the plain [06160], in the hills [02022], and in the vale [08219], and in the south [05045], and by the sea [03220] side [02348], to the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and unto Lebanon [03844], unto the great [01419] river [05104], the river [05104] Euphrates [06578].
⁸ Behold [07200], I have set [05414] the land [0776] before [06440] you: go [0935] in and possess [03423] the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto your fathers [01], Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and Jacob [03290], to give [05414] unto them and to their seed [02233] after [0310] them.

⁷ Turn [06437] you, and take your journey [05265], and go [0935] to the mount [02022] of the Amorites [0567], and unto all the places nigh [07934] thereunto, in the plain [06160], in the hills [02022], and in the vale [08219], and in the south [05045], and by the sea [03220] side [02348], to the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and unto Lebanon [03844], unto the great [01419] river [05104], the river [05104] Euphrates [06578].

¹⁹ And when we departed [05265] from Horeb [02722], we went through [03212] all that great [01419] and terrible [03372] wilderness [04057], which ye saw [07200] by the way [01870] of the mountain [02022] of the Amorites [0567], as the LORD [03068] our God [0430] commanded [06680] us; and we came [0935] to Kadeshbarnea [06947].
²⁰ And I said [0559] unto you, Ye are come [0935] unto the mountain [02022] of the Amorites [0567], which the LORD [03068] our God [0430] doth give [05414] unto us.
²¹ Behold [07200], the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath set [05414] the land [0776] before [06440] thee: go up [05927] and possess [03423] it, as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of thy fathers [01] hath said [01696] unto thee; fear [03372] not, neither be discouraged [02865].
²² And ye came near [07126] unto me every one of you, and said [0559], We will send [07971] men [0582] before [06440] us, and they shall search us out [02658] the land [0776], and bring [07725] us word [01697] again [07725] by what way [01870] we must go up [05927], and into what cities [05892] we shall come [0935].
²³ And the saying [01697] pleased me well [03190] [05869]: and I took [03947] twelve [08147] [06240] men [0582] of you, one [0259] of a tribe [0376] [07626]:
²⁴ And they turned [06437] and went up [05927] into the mountain [02022], and came [0935] unto the valley [05158] of Eshcol [0812], and searched it out [07270].
²⁵ And they took [03947] of the fruit [06529] of the land [0776] in their hands [03027], and brought it down [03381] unto us, and brought [07725] us word [01697] again [07725], and said [0559], It is a good [02896] land [0776] which the LORD [03068] our God [0430] doth give [05414] us.
²⁶ Notwithstanding ye would [014] not go up [05927], but rebelled [04784] against the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430]:
²⁷ And ye murmured [07279] in your tents [0168], and said [0559], Because the LORD [03068] hated [08135] us, he hath brought us forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], to deliver [05414] us into the hand [03027] of the Amorites [0567], to destroy [08045] us.
²⁸ Whither shall we go up [05927]? our brethren [0251] have discouraged [04549] our heart [03824], saying [0559], The people [05971] is greater [01419] and taller [07311] than we; the cities [05892] are great [01419] and walled up [01219] to heaven [08064]; and moreover we have seen [07200] the sons [01121] of the Anakims [06062] there.
²⁹ Then I said [0559] unto you, Dread [06206] not, neither be afraid [03372] of them.
³⁰ The LORD [03068] your God [0430] which goeth [01980] before [06440] you, he shall fight [03898] for you, according to all that he did [06213] for you in Egypt [04714] before your eyes [05869];
³¹ And in the wilderness [04057], where thou hast seen [07200] how that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] bare [05375] thee, as a man [0376] doth bear [05375] his son [01121], in all the way [01870] that ye went [01980], until ye came [0935] into this place [04725].
³² Yet in this thing [01697] ye did not believe [0539] the LORD [03068] your God [0430],
³³ Who went [01980] in the way [01870] before [06440] you, to search you out [08446] a place [04725] to pitch your tents [02583] in, in fire [0784] by night [03915], to shew [07200] you by what way [01870] ye should go [03212], and in a cloud [06051] by day [03119].
³⁴ And the LORD [03068] heard [08085] the voice [06963] of your words [01697], and was wroth [07107], and sware [07650], saying [0559],
³⁵ Surely there shall not one [0376] of these men [0582] of this evil [07451] generation [01755] see [07200] that good [02896] land [0776], which I sware [07650] to give [05414] unto your fathers [01],
³⁶ Save [02108] Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312]; he shall see [07200] it, and to him will I give [05414] the land [0776] that [0834] he hath trodden upon [01869], and to his children [01121], because he hath wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068].
³⁷ Also the LORD [03068] was angry [0599] with me for your sakes [01558], saying [0559], Thou also shalt not go [0935] in thither [08033].
³⁸ But Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], which standeth [05975] before [06440] thee, he shall go in [0935] thither: encourage [02388] him: for he shall cause Israel [03478] to inherit [05157] it.
³⁹ Moreover your little ones [02945], which ye said [0559] should be a prey [0957], and your children [01121], which in that day [03117] had no knowledge [03045] between good [02896] and evil [07451], they shall go in [0935] thither, and unto them will I give [05414] it, and they shall possess [03423] it.
⁴⁰ But as for you, turn [06437] you, and take your journey [05265] into the wilderness [04057] by the way [01870] of the Red [05488] sea [03220].

¹ These also are the generations [08435] of Aaron [0175] and Moses [04872] in the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] spake [01696] with Moses [04872] in mount [02022] Sinai [05514].
² And these are the names [08034] of the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175]; Nadab [05070] the firstborn [01060], and Abihu [030], Eleazar [0499], and Ithamar [0385].
³ These are the names [08034] of the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], the priests [03548] which were anointed [04886], whom he consecrated [04390] [03027] to minister in the priest's office [03547].
⁴ And Nadab [05070] and Abihu [030] died [04191] before [06440] the LORD [03068], when they offered [07126] strange [02114] fire [0784] before [06440] the LORD [03068], in the wilderness [04057] of Sinai [05514], and they had no children [01121]: and Eleazar [0499] and Ithamar [0385] ministered in the priest's office [03547] in the sight [06440] of Aaron [0175] their father [01].
⁵ And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
⁶ Bring [07126] the tribe [04294] of Levi [03878] near [07126], and present [05975] them before [06440] Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], that they may minister [08334] unto him.
⁷ And they shall keep [08104] his charge [04931], and the charge [04931] of the whole congregation [05712] before [06440] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], to do [05647] the service [05656] of the tabernacle [04908].
⁸ And they shall keep [08104] all the instruments [03627] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and the charge [04931] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], to do [05647] the service [05656] of the tabernacle [04908].
⁹ And thou shalt give [05414] the Levites [03881] unto Aaron [0175] and to his sons [01121]: they are wholly given [05414] unto him out of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
¹⁰ And thou shalt appoint [06485] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121], and they shall wait on [08104] their priest's office [03550]: and the stranger [02114] that cometh nigh [07131] shall be put to death [04191].

¹ And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] after [0310] the death [04194] of the two [08147] sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], when they offered [07126] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and died [04191];
² And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Speak [01696] unto Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251], that he come [0935] not at all times [06256] into the holy [06944] place within [01004] the vail [06532] before [06440] the mercy seat [03727], which is upon the ark [0727]; that he die [04191] not: for I will appear [07200] in the cloud [06051] upon the mercy [03727] seat.
³ Thus [02063] shall Aaron [0175] come [0935] into the holy [06944] place: with a young [01121] [01241] bullock [06499] for a sin offering [02403], and a ram [0352] for a burnt offering [05930].
⁴ He shall put on [03847] the holy [06944] linen [0906] coat [03801], and he shall have the linen [0906] breeches [04370] upon his flesh [01320], and shall be girded [02296] with a linen [0906] girdle [073], and with the linen [0906] mitre [04701] shall he be attired [06801]: these [01992] are holy [06944] garments [0899]; therefore shall he wash [07364] his flesh [01320] in water [04325], and so put them on [03847].
⁵ And he shall take [03947] of the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] two [08147] kids [08163] of the goats [05795] for a sin offering [02403], and one [0259] ram [0352] for a burnt offering [05930].
⁶ And Aaron [0175] shall offer [07126] his bullock [06499] of the sin offering [02403], which is for himself [01157], and make an atonement [03722] for himself, and for his house [01004].
⁷ And he shall take [03947] the two [08147] goats [08163], and present [05975] them before [06440] the LORD [03068] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
⁸ And Aaron [0175] shall cast [05414] lots [01486] upon the two [08147] goats [08163]; one [0259] lot [01486] for the LORD [03068], and the other [0259] lot [01486] for the scapegoat [05799].
⁹ And Aaron [0175] shall bring [07126] the goat [08163] upon which the LORD'S [03068] lot [01486] fell [05927], and offer [06213] him for a sin offering [02403].
¹⁰ But the goat [08163], on which the lot [01486] fell [05927] to be the scapegoat [05799], shall be presented [05975] alive [02416] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to make an atonement [03722] with him, and to let him go [07971] for a scapegoat [05799] into the wilderness [04057].
¹¹ And Aaron [0175] shall bring [07126] the bullock [06499] of the sin offering [02403], which is for himself, and shall make an atonement [03722] for himself, and for his house [01004], and shall kill [07819] the bullock [06499] of the sin offering [02403] which is for himself:
¹² And he shall take [03947] a censer [04289] full [04393] of burning [0784] coals [01513] of fire [0784] from off the altar [04196] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and his hands [02651] full [04393] of sweet [05561] incense [07004] beaten small [01851], and bring [0935] it within [01004] the vail [06532]:
¹³ And he shall put [05414] the incense [07004] upon the fire [0784] before [06440] the LORD [03068], that the cloud [06051] of the incense [07004] may cover [03680] the mercy seat [03727] that is upon the testimony [05715], that he die [04191] not:
¹⁴ And he shall take [03947] of the blood [01818] of the bullock [06499], and sprinkle [05137] it with his finger [0676] upon the mercy seat [03727] eastward [06924]; and before [06440] the mercy seat [03727] shall he sprinkle [05137] of the blood [01818] with his finger [0676] seven [07651] times [06471].
¹⁵ Then shall he kill [07819] the goat [08163] of the sin offering [02403], that is for the people [05971], and bring [0935] his blood [01818] within [01004] the vail [06532], and do [06213] with that blood [01818] as he did [06213] with the blood [01818] of the bullock [06499], and sprinkle [05137] it upon the mercy seat [03727], and before [06440] the mercy seat [03727]:
¹⁶ And he shall make an atonement [03722] for the holy [06944] place, because of the uncleanness [02932] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and because of their transgressions [06588] in all their sins [02403]: and so shall he do [06213] for the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], that remaineth [07931] among them in the midst [08432] of their uncleanness [02932].
¹⁷ And there shall be no man [0120] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] when he goeth [0935] in to make an atonement [03722] in the holy [06944] place, until he come out [03318], and have made an atonement [03722] for himself, and for his household [01004], and for all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478].
¹⁸ And he shall go out [03318] unto the altar [04196] that is before [06440] the LORD [03068], and make an atonement [03722] for it; and shall take [03947] of the blood [01818] of the bullock [06499], and of the blood [01818] of the goat [08163], and put [05414] it upon the horns [07161] of the altar [04196] round about [05439].
¹⁹ And he shall sprinkle [05137] of the blood [01818] upon it with his finger [0676] seven [07651] times [06471], and cleanse [02891] it, and hallow [06942] it from the uncleanness [02932] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
²⁰ And when he hath made an end [03615] of reconciling [03722] the holy [06944] place, and the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and the altar [04196], he shall bring [07126] the live [02416] goat [08163]:
²¹ And Aaron [0175] shall lay [05564] both [08147] his hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the live [02416] goat [08163], and confess [03034] over him all the iniquities [05771] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and all their transgressions [06588] in all their sins [02403], putting [05414] them upon the head [07218] of the goat [08163], and shall send him away [07971] by the hand [03027] of a fit [06261] man [0376] into the wilderness [04057]:
²² And the goat [08163] shall bear [05375] upon him all their iniquities [05771] unto a land [0776] not inhabited [01509]: and he shall let go [07971] the goat [08163] in the wilderness [04057].
²³ And Aaron [0175] shall come [0935] into the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and shall put off [06584] the linen [0906] garments [0899], which he put on [03847] when he went [0935] into the holy [06944] place, and shall leave [03240] them there:
²⁴ And he shall wash [07364] his flesh [01320] with water [04325] in the holy [06918] place [04725], and put on [03847] his garments [0899], and come forth [03318], and offer [06213] his burnt offering [05930], and the burnt offering [05930] of the people [05971], and make an atonement [03722] for himself, and for the people [05971].
²⁵ And the fat [02459] of the sin offering [02403] shall he burn [06999] upon the altar [04196].
²⁶ And he that let go [07971] the goat [08163] for the scapegoat [05799] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] his flesh [01320] in water [04325], and afterward [0310] come [0935] into the camp [04264].
²⁷ And the bullock [06499] for the sin offering [02403], and the goat [08163] for the sin offering [02403], whose blood [01818] was brought in [0935] to make atonement [03722] in the holy [06944] place, shall one carry forth [03318] without [02351] the camp [04264]; and they shall burn [08313] in the fire [0784] their skins [05785], and their flesh [01320], and their dung [06569].
²⁸ And he that burneth [08313] them shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] his flesh [01320] in water [04325], and afterward [0310] he shall come [0935] into the camp [04264].
²⁹ And this shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] unto you: that in the seventh [07637] month [02320], on the tenth [06218] day of the month [02320], ye shall afflict [06031] your souls [05315], and do [06213] no work [04399] at all, whether it be one of your own country [0249], or a stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] among [08432] you:
³⁰ For on that day [03117] shall the priest make an atonement [03722] for you, to cleanse [02891] you, that ye may be clean [02891] from all your sins [02403] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
³¹ It shall be a sabbath [07676] of rest [07677] unto you, and ye shall afflict [06031] your souls [05315], by a statute [02708] for ever [05769].
³² And the priest [03548], whom he shall anoint [04886], and whom he shall consecrate [04390] [03027] to minister in the priest's office [03547] in his father's [01] stead, shall make the atonement [03722], and shall put on [03847] the linen [0906] clothes [0899], even the holy [06944] garments [0899]:
³³ And he shall make an atonement [03722] for the holy [06944] sanctuary [04720], and he shall make an atonement [03722] for the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and for the altar [04196], and he shall make an atonement [03722] for the priests [03548], and for all the people [05971] of the congregation [06951].
³⁴ And this shall be an everlasting [05769] statute [02708] unto you, to make an atonement [03722] for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] for all their sins [02403] once [0259] a year [08141]. And he did [06213] as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872].

¹ In the third [07992] month [02320], when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were gone forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], the same day [03117] came [0935] they into the wilderness [04057] of Sinai [05514].
² For they were departed [05265] from Rephidim [07508], and were come [0935] to the desert [04057] of Sinai [05514], and had pitched [02583] in the wilderness [04057]; and there Israel [03478] camped [02583] before the mount [02022].
³ And Moses [04872] went up [05927] unto God [0430], and the LORD [03068] called [07121] unto him out of the mountain [02022], saying [0559], Thus shalt thou say [0559] to the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], and tell [05046] the children [01121] of Israel [03478];
⁴ Ye have seen [07200] what I did [06213] unto the Egyptians [04714], and how I bare [05375] you on eagles [05404]' wings [03671], and brought [0935] you unto myself.
⁵ Now therefore, if ye will obey [08085] my voice [06963] indeed [08085], and keep [08104] my covenant [01285], then ye shall be a peculiar treasure [05459] unto me above all people [05971]: for all the earth [0776] is mine:
⁶ And ye shall be unto me a kingdom [04467] of priests [03548], and an holy [06918] nation [01471]. These are the words [01697] which thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
⁷ And Moses [04872] came [0935] and called [07121] for the elders [02205] of the people [05971], and laid [07760] before their faces [06440] all these words [01697] which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] him.
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].
⁹ And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Lo, I come [0935] unto thee in a thick [05645] cloud [06051], that the people [05971] may hear [08085] when I speak [01696] with thee, and believe [0539] thee for ever [05769]. And Moses [04872] told [05046] the words [01697] of the people [05971] unto the LORD [03068].
¹⁰ And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Go [03212] unto the people [05971], and sanctify [06942] them to day [03117] and to morrow [04279], and let them wash [03526] their clothes [08071],
¹¹ And be ready [03559] against the third [07992] day [03117]: for the third [07992] day [03117] the LORD [03068] will come down [03381] in the sight [05869] of all the people [05971] upon mount [02022] Sinai [05514].
¹² And thou shalt set bounds [01379] unto the people [05971] round about [05439], saying [0559], Take heed [08104] to yourselves, that ye go not up [05927] into the mount [02022], or touch [05060] the border [07097] of it: whosoever toucheth [05060] the mount [02022] shall be surely [04191] put to death [04191]:
¹³ There shall not an hand [03027] touch [05060] it, but he shall surely [05619] be stoned [05619], or [0176] shot [03384] through [03384]; whether it be beast [0929] or [0518] man [0376], it shall not live [02421]: when the trumpet [03104] soundeth long [04900], they shall come up [05927] to the mount [02022].
¹⁴ And Moses [04872] went down [03381] from the mount [02022] unto the people [05971], and sanctified [06942] the people [05971]; and they washed [03526] their clothes [08071].
¹⁵ And he said [0559] unto the people [05971], Be [01961] ready [03559] against the third [07969] day [03117]: come [05066] not at your wives [0802].
¹⁶ And it came to pass on the third [07992] day [03117] in the morning [01242], that there were thunders [06963] and lightnings [01300], and a thick [03515] cloud [06051] upon the mount [02022], and the voice [06963] of the trumpet [07782] exceeding [03966] loud [02389]; so that all the people [05971] that was in the camp [04264] trembled [02729].
¹⁷ And Moses [04872] brought forth [03318] the people [05971] out of the camp [04264] to meet [07125] with God [0430]; and they stood [03320] at the nether [08482] part of the mount [02022].
¹⁸ And mount [02022] Sinai [05514] was altogether on a smoke [06225], because [06440] [0834] the LORD [03068] descended [03381] upon it in fire [0784]: and the smoke [06227] thereof ascended [05927] as the smoke [06227] of a furnace [03536], and the whole mount [02022] quaked [02729] greatly [03966].
¹⁹ And when the voice [06963] of the trumpet [07782] sounded [06963] long [01980], and waxed louder [02390] and louder [03966], Moses [04872] spake [01696], and God [0430] answered [06030] him by a voice [06963].
²⁰ And the LORD [03068] came down [03381] upon mount [02022] Sinai [05514], on the top [07218] of the mount [02022]: and the LORD [03068] called [07121] Moses [04872] up to [0413] the top [07218] of the mount [02022]; and Moses [04872] went up [05927].
²¹ And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Go down [03381], charge [05749] the people [05971], lest they break through [02040] unto the LORD [03068] to gaze [07200], and many [07227] of them perish [05307].
²² And let the priests [03548] also, which come near [05066] to the LORD [03068], sanctify [06942] themselves, lest the LORD [03068] break forth [06555] upon them.
²³ And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], The people [05971] cannot [03201] come up [05927] to mount [02022] Sinai [05514]: for thou chargedst [05749] us, saying [0559], Set bounds [01379] about the mount [02022], and sanctify [06942] it.
²⁴ And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Away [03212], get thee down [03381], and thou shalt come up [05927], thou, and Aaron [0175] with thee: but let not the priests [03548] and the people [05971] break through [02040] to come up [05927] unto the LORD [03068], lest he break forth [06555] upon them.
²⁵ So Moses [04872] went down [03381] unto the people [05971], and spake [0559] unto them.

⁰ The commentary points to an invalid Bible reference.

²⁰ And the LORD [03068] came down [03381] upon mount [02022] Sinai [05514], on the top [07218] of the mount [02022]: and the LORD [03068] called [07121] Moses [04872] up to [0413] the top [07218] of the mount [02022]; and Moses [04872] went up [05927].

¹⁹ Seven [07651] days [03117] shall there be no leaven [07603] found [04672] in your houses [01004]: for whosoever eateth [0398] that which is leavened [02556], even that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478], whether he be a stranger [01616], or born [0249] in the land [0776].
²⁰ Ye shall eat [0398] nothing leavened [02556]; in all your habitations [04186] shall ye eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682].
²¹ Then Moses [04872] called [07121] for all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], and said [0559] unto them, Draw out [04900] and take [03947] you a lamb [06629] according to your families [04940], and kill [07819] the passover [06453].
²² And ye shall take [03947] a bunch [092] of hyssop [0231], and dip [02881] it in the blood [01818] that is in the bason [05592], and strike [05060] the lintel [04947] and the two [08147] side posts [04201] with the blood [01818] that is in the bason [05592]; and none [0376] of you shall go out [03318] at the door [06607] of his house [01004] until the morning [01242].
²³ For the LORD [03068] will pass through [05674] to smite [05062] the Egyptians [04714]; and when he seeth [07200] the blood [01818] upon the lintel [04947], and on the two [08147] side posts [04201], the LORD [03068] will pass over [06452] the door [06607], and will not suffer [05414] the destroyer [07843] to come [0935] in unto your houses [01004] to smite [05062] you.
²⁴ And ye shall observe [08104] this thing [01697] for an ordinance [02706] to thee and to thy sons [01121] for [05704] ever [05769].
²⁵ And it shall come to pass, when ye be come [0935] to the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] will give [05414] you, according as he hath promised [01696], that ye shall keep [08104] this service [05656].
²⁶ And it shall come to pass, when your children [01121] shall say [0559] unto you, What mean ye by this service [05656]?
²⁷ That ye shall say [0559], It is the sacrifice [02077] of the LORD'S [03068] passover [06453], who passed [06452] over the houses [01004] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in Egypt [04714], when he smote [05062] the Egyptians [04714], and delivered [05337] our houses [01004]. And the people [05971] bowed the head [06915] and worshipped [07812].
²⁸ And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went away [03212], and did [06213] as the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], so did [06213] they.
²⁹ And it came to pass, that at midnight [02677] [03915] the LORD [03068] smote [05221] all the firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from the firstborn [01060] of Pharaoh [06547] that sat [03427] on his throne [03678] unto the firstborn [01060] of the captive [07628] that was in the dungeon [01004] [0953]; and all the firstborn [01060] of cattle [0929].
³⁰ And Pharaoh [06547] rose up [06965] in the night [03915], he, and all his servants [05650], and all the Egyptians [04714]; and there was a great [01419] cry [06818] in Egypt [04714]; for there was not a house [01004] where there was not one dead [04191].
³¹ And he called [07121] for Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] by night [03915], and said [0559], Rise up [06965], and get you forth [03318] from among [08432] my people [05971], both ye and the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; and go [03212], serve [05647] the LORD [03068], as ye have said [01696].

¹⁴ And this day [03117] shall be unto you for a memorial [02146]; and ye shall keep [02287] it a feast [02282] to the LORD [03068] throughout your generations [01755]; ye shall keep it a feast [02287] by an ordinance [02708] for ever [05769].

¹⁷ And ye shall observe [08104] the feast of unleavened bread [04682]; for in this selfsame [06106] day [03117] have I brought [03318] your armies [06635] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: therefore shall ye observe [08104] this day [03117] in your generations [01755] by an ordinance [02708] for ever [05769].
¹⁸ In the first [07223] month, on the fourteenth [06240] [0702] day [03117] of the month [02320] at even [06153], ye shall eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682], until the one [0259] and twentieth [06242] day [03117] of the month [02320] at even [06153].
¹⁹ Seven [07651] days [03117] shall there be no leaven [07603] found [04672] in your houses [01004]: for whosoever eateth [0398] that which is leavened [02556], even that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478], whether he be a stranger [01616], or born [0249] in the land [0776].
²⁰ Ye shall eat [0398] nothing leavened [02556]; in all your habitations [04186] shall ye eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682].
²¹ Then Moses [04872] called [07121] for all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], and said [0559] unto them, Draw out [04900] and take [03947] you a lamb [06629] according to your families [04940], and kill [07819] the passover [06453].
²² And ye shall take [03947] a bunch [092] of hyssop [0231], and dip [02881] it in the blood [01818] that is in the bason [05592], and strike [05060] the lintel [04947] and the two [08147] side posts [04201] with the blood [01818] that is in the bason [05592]; and none [0376] of you shall go out [03318] at the door [06607] of his house [01004] until the morning [01242].

¹³ And the blood [01818] shall be to you for a token [0226] upon the houses [01004] where ye are: and when I see [07200] the blood [01818], I will pass [06452] over you, and the plague [05063] shall not be upon you to destroy [04889] you, when I smite [05221] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].

¹ And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], saying [0559],
² This month [02320] shall be unto you the beginning [07218] of months [02320]: it shall be the first [07223] month [02320] of the year [08141] to you.
³ Speak [01696] ye unto all the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], In the tenth [06218] day of this month [02320] they shall take [03947] to them every man [0376] a lamb [07716], according to the house [01004] of their fathers [01], a lamb [07716] for an house [01004]:
⁴ And if the household [01004] be [01961] too little [04591] for the lamb [07716], let him and his neighbour [07934] next [07138] unto his house [01004] take [03947] it according to the number [04373] of the souls [05315]; every man [0376] according [06310] to his eating [0400] shall make your count [03699] for the lamb [07716].
⁵ Your lamb [07716] shall be without blemish [08549], a male [02145] of the first [01121] year [08141]: ye shall take [03947] it out from the sheep [03532], or from the goats [05795]:
⁶ And ye shall keep [04931] it up until the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day [03117] of the same month [02320]: and the whole [03605] assembly [06951] of the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478] shall kill [07819] it in [0996] the evening [06153].
⁷ And they shall take [03947] of the blood [01818], and strike [05414] it on the two [08147] side posts [04201] and on the upper door post [04947] of the houses [01004], wherein they shall eat [0398] it.
⁸ And they shall eat [0398] the flesh [01320] in that night [03915], roast [06748] with fire [0784], and unleavened bread [04682]; and with bitter [04844] herbs they shall eat [0398] it.
⁹ Eat [0398] not of it raw [04995], nor sodden [01310] [01311] at all with water [04325], but roast [06748] with fire [0784]; his head [07218] with his legs [03767], and with the purtenance [07130] thereof.
¹⁰ And ye shall let nothing of it remain [03498] until the morning [01242]; and that which remaineth [03498] of it until the morning [01242] ye shall burn [08313] with fire [0784].
¹¹ And thus [03602] shall ye eat [0398] it; with your loins [04975] girded [02296], your shoes [05275] on your feet [07272], and your staff [04731] in your hand [03027]; and ye shall eat [0398] it in haste [02649]: it is the LORD'S [03068] passover [06453].
¹² For I will pass [05674] through the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] this night [03915], and will smite [05221] all the firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], both man [0120] and beast [0929]; and against all the gods [0430] of Egypt [04714] I will execute [06213] judgment [08201]: I am the LORD [03068].
¹³ And the blood [01818] shall be to you for a token [0226] upon the houses [01004] where ye are: and when I see [07200] the blood [01818], I will pass [06452] over you, and the plague [05063] shall not be upon you to destroy [04889] you, when I smite [05221] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].

⁹ And they came [0935] to the place [04725] which God [0430] had told [0559] him of; and Abraham [085] built [01129] an altar [04196] there, and laid [06186] the wood [06086] in order [06186], and bound [06123] Isaac [03327] his son [01121], and laid [07760] him on the altar [04196] upon [04605] the wood [06086].

¹ I say [3004] then [3767], [3361] Hath [683] God [2316] cast away [683] his [846] people [2992]? God forbid [3361] [1096]. For [1063] I [1473] also [2532] am [1510] an Israelite [2475], of [1537] the seed [4690] of Abraham [11], of the tribe [5443] of Benjamin [958].

⁹ And Joab [03097] gave up [05414] the sum [04557] of the number [04662] of the people [05971] unto the king [04428]: and there were in Israel [03478] eight [08083] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] valiant [02428] men [0376] [0381] that drew [08025] the sword [02719]; and the men [0376] of Judah [03063] were five [02568] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] men [0376].

³⁷ And I will cause you to pass [05674] under the rod [07626], and I will bring [0935] you into the bond [04562] of the covenant [01285]:

¹⁰ Yet the number [04557] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall be as the sand [02344] of the sea [03220], which cannot be measured [04058] nor numbered [05608]; and it shall come to pass, that in the place [04725] where it was said [0559] unto them, Ye are not my people [05971], there it shall be said [0559] unto them, Ye are the sons [01121] of the living [02416] God [0410].

⁸ But thou, Israel [03478], art my servant [05650], Jacob [03290] whom I have chosen [0977], the seed [02233] of Abraham [085] my friend [0157].

² You only have I known [03045] of all the families [04940] of the earth [0127]: therefore I will punish [06485] you for all your iniquities [05771].

¹⁸ And he shall go out [03318] unto the altar [04196] that is before [06440] the LORD [03068], and make an atonement [03722] for it; and shall take [03947] of the blood [01818] of the bullock [06499], and of the blood [01818] of the goat [08163], and put [05414] it upon the horns [07161] of the altar [04196] round about [05439].

¹⁸ In the same [01931] day [03117] the LORD [03068] made [03772] a covenant [01285] with Abram [087], saying [0559], Unto thy seed [02233] have I given [05414] this land [0776], from the river [05104] of Egypt [04714] unto the great [01419] river [05104], the river [05104] Euphrates [06578]:

⁵ Behold [07200] ye among the heathen [01471], and regard [05027], and wonder [08539] marvellously [08539]: for I will work [06466] a work [06467] in your days [03117], which ye will not believe [0539], though it be told [05608] you.

¹⁰ These are the generations [08435] of Shem [08035]: Shem [08035] was an hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121], and begat [03205] Arphaxad [0775] two years [08141] after [0310] the flood [03999]:

⁷ For so it was, that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] had sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068] their God [0430], which had brought them up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from under the hand [03027] of Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and had feared [03372] other [0312] gods [0430],

¹⁸ [2532] I am he that liveth [2198], and [2532] was [1096] dead [3498]; and [2532], behold [2400], I am [1510] alive [2198] for [1519] evermore [165] [165], Amen [281]; and [2532] have [2192] the keys [2807] of hell [86] and [2532] of death [2288].

¹² For [1063] I [1473] neither [3761] received [3880] it [846] of [3844] man [444], neither [3777] was I taught [1321] it, but [235] by [1223] the revelation [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].

¹¹ But [1161] I certify [1107] you [5213], brethren [80], that [3754] the gospel [2098] which [3588] was preached [2097] of [5259] me [1700] is [2076] not [3756] after [2596] man [444].

¹⁴ But [1161] the natural [5591] man [444] receiveth [1209] not [3756] the things [3588] of the Spirit [4151] of God [2316]: for [1063] they are [2076] foolishness [3472] unto him [846]: neither [2532] [3756] can [1410] he know [1097] them, because [3754] they are spiritually [4153] discerned [350].

¹⁶ For [1063] who [5101] hath known [1097] the mind [3563] of the Lord [2962], that [3739] he may instruct [4822] him [846]? But [1161] we [2249] have [2192] the mind [3563] of Christ [5547].

⁷ But [235] we speak [2980] the wisdom [4678] of God [2316] in [1722] a mystery [3466], even the hidden [613] wisdom, which [3739] God [2316] ordained [4309] before [4253] the world [165] unto [1519] our [2257] glory [1391]:

²⁶ But [1161] now [3568] is made manifest [5319], and [5037] by [1223] the scriptures [1124] of the prophets [4397], according [2596] to the commandment [2003] of the everlasting [166] God [2316], made known [1107] to [1519] all [3956] nations [1484] for [1519] the obedience [5218] of faith [4102]:

²⁵ Now [1161] to him that is of power [1410] to stablish [4741] you [5209] according [2596] to my [3450] gospel [2098], and [2532] the preaching [2782] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], according [2596] to the revelation [602] of the mystery [3466], which was kept secret [4601] since the world began [5550] [166],

²⁵ That he may take [2983] part [2819] of this [5026] ministry [1248] and [2532] apostleship [651], from [1537] which [3739] Judas [2455] by transgression fell [3845], that he might go [4198] to [1519] his own [2398] place [5117].

¹⁵ And [2532] in [1722] those [5025] days [2250] Peter [4074] stood up [450] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the disciples [3101], and said [2036], [5037] (the number [3793] of names [3686] together [1909] [846] were [2258] about [5613] an hundred [1540] and twenty [1501],)

⁹ And [2532] when he had spoken [2036] these things [5023], while they [846] beheld [991], he was taken up [1869]; and [2532] a cloud [3507] received [5274] him [846] out of [575] their [846] sight [3788].

¹⁶ Men [435] and brethren [80], this [5026] scripture [1124] must [1163] needs have been fulfilled [4137], which [3739] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] by [1223] the mouth [4750] of David [1138] spake before [4277] concerning [4012] Judas [2455], which [3588] was [1096] guide [3595] to them that took [4815] Jesus [2424].

⁸ But [235] ye shall receive [2983] power [1411], after that the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] is come [1904] upon [1909] you [5209]: and [2532] ye shall be [2071] witnesses [3144] unto me [3427] both [5037] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] in [1722] all [3956] Judaea [2449], and [2532] in Samaria [4540], and [2532] unto [2193] the uttermost part [2078] of the earth [1093].

²⁰ And [1161] there were [2258] certain [5100] Greeks [1672] among [1537] them that came up [305] to [2443] worship [4352] at [1722] the feast [1859]:

¹⁷ The people [3793] therefore [3767] that was [5607] with [3326] him [846] when [3753] he called [5455] Lazarus [2976] out of [1537] his grave [3419], and [2532] raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498], bare record [3140].

⁸ For [1063] the poor [4434] always [3842] ye have [2192] with [3326] you [1438]; but [1161] me [1691] ye have [2192] not [3756] always [3842].

¹² On the next day [1887] much [4183] people [3793] that were come [2064] to [1519] the feast [1859], when they heard [191] that [3754] Jesus [2424] was coming [2064] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414],

¹⁶ [1161] These things [5023] understood [1097] not [3756] his [846] disciples [3101] at the first [4412]: but [235] when [3753] Jesus [2424] was glorified [1392], then [5119] remembered they [3415] that [3754] these things [5023] were [2258] written [1125] of [1909] him [846], and [2532] that they had done [4160] these things [5023] unto him [846].

²⁷ Now [3568] is [5015] my [3450] soul [5590] troubled [5015]; and [2532] what [5101] shall I say [2036]? Father [3962], save [4982] me [3165] from [1537] this [5026] hour [5610]: but [235] for this [5124] cause [1223] came I [2064] unto [1519] this [5026] hour [5610].

¹⁵ Fear [5399] not [3361], daughter [2364] of Sion [4622]: behold [2400], thy [4675] King [935] cometh [2064], sitting [2521] on [1909] an ass's [3688] colt [4454].

¹⁰ But [1161] the chief priests [749] consulted [1011] that [2443] they might put [615] Lazarus [2976] also [2532] to death [615];

¹⁴ And [1161] Jesus [2424], when he had found [2147] a young ass [3678], sat [2523] thereon [1909] [846]; as [2531] it is [2076] written [1125],

¹⁸ For this [5124] cause [1223] the people [3793] also [2532] met [5221] him [846], for that [3754] they heard [191] that [846] he had done [4160] this [5124] miracle [4592].

¹³ Took [2983] branches [902] of palm trees [5404], and [2532] went forth [1831] to [1519] meet [5222] him [846], and [2532] cried [2896], Hosanna [5614]: Blessed [2127] is the King [935] of Israel [2474] that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962].

⁴⁸ He that rejecteth [114] me [1691], and [2532] receiveth [2983] not [3361] my [3450] words [4487], hath [2192] one that judgeth [2919] him [846]: the word [3056] that [3739] I have spoken [2980], the same [1565] shall judge [2919] him [846] in [1722] the last [2078] day [2250].

⁸ The wind [4151] bloweth [4154] where [3699] it listeth [2309], and [2532] thou hearest [191] the sound [5456] thereof [846], but [235] canst [1492] not [3756] tell [1492] whence [4159] it cometh [2064], and [2532] whither [4226] it goeth [5217]: so [3779] is [2076] every one [3956] that is born [1080] of [1537] the Spirit [4151].

²¹ But [1161] he that doeth [4160] truth [225] cometh [2064] to [4314] the light [5457], that [2443] his [846] deeds [2041] may be made manifest [5319], that [3754] they are [2076] wrought [2038] in [1722] God [2316].
²² After [3326] these things [5023] came [2064] Jesus [2424] and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] into [1519] the land [1093] of Judaea [2449]; and [2532] there [1563] he tarried [1304] with [3326] them [846], and [2532] baptized [907].
²³ And [1161] John [2491] also [2532] was [2258] baptizing [907] in [1722] Aenon [137] near [1451] to Salim [4530], because [3754] there was [2258] much [4183] water [5204] there [1563]: and [2532] they came [3854], and [2532] were baptized [907].

⁷ Marvel [2296] not [3361] that [3754] I said [2036] unto thee [4671], Ye [5209] must [1163] be born [1080] again [509].

³¹ He that cometh [2064] from above [509] is [2076] above [1883] all [3956]: he that is [5607] of [1537] the earth [1093] is [2076] earthly [1537] [1093], and [2532] speaketh [2980] of [1537] the earth [1093]: he that cometh [2064] from [1537] heaven [3772] is [2076] above [1883] all [3956].

¹⁴ And [2532] as [2531] Moses [3475] lifted up [5312] the serpent [3789] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], even so [3779] must [1163] the Son [5207] of man [444] be lifted up [5312]:

²⁹ But [3739] [1161] the same day [2250] that Lot [3091] went [1831] out of [575] Sodom [4670] it rained [1026] fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303] from [575] heaven [3772], and [2532] destroyed [622] them all [537].

²⁹ And [1161] when she saw [1492] him, she was troubled [1298] at [1909] his [846] saying [3056], and [2532] cast in her mind [1260] what manner [4217] of salutation [783] this [3778] should be [1498].
³⁰ And [2532] the angel [32] said [2036] unto her [846], Fear [5399] not [3361], Mary [3137]: for [1063] thou hast found [2147] favour [5485] with [3844] God [2316].

¹⁸ And [2532] Zacharias [2197] said [2036] unto [4314] the angel [32], Whereby [2596] [5101] shall I know [1097] this [5124]? for [1063] I [1473] am [1510] an old man [4246], and [2532] my [3450] wife [1135] well stricken [4260] in [1722] years [2250] [846].
¹⁹ And [2532] the angel [32] answering [611] said [2036] unto him [846], I [1473] am [1510] Gabriel [1043], that stand [3936] in the presence [1799] of God [2316]; and [2532] am sent [649] to speak [2980] unto [4314] thee [4571], and [2532] to shew [2097] thee [4671] these [5023] glad tidings [2097].
²⁰ And [2532], behold [2400], thou [2071] shalt be dumb [4623], and [2532] not [3361] able [1410] to speak [2980], until [891] the day [2250] that [3739] these things [5023] shall be performed [1096], because [473] [3739] thou believest [4100] not [3756] my [3450] words [3056], which [3748] shall be fulfilled [4137] in [1519] their [846] season [2540].
²¹ And [2532] the people [2992] waited [2258] [4328] for Zacharias [2197], and [2532] marvelled [2296] that [1722] he [846] tarried so long [5549] in [1722] the temple [3485].

⁴ That [2443] thou mightest know [1921] the certainty [803] of [4012] those things [3056], wherein [3739] thou hast been instructed [2727].

³ It seemed [1380] good to me also [2504], having had perfect [199] understanding [3877] of all things [3956] from the very first [509], to write [1125] unto thee [4671] in order [2517], most excellent [2903] Theophilus [2321],

³⁶ And [2532] Simon [4613] and [2532] they that were with [3326] him [846] followed after [2614] him [846].

¹² And [2532] immediately [2117] the Spirit [4151] driveth [1544] him [846] into [1519] the wilderness [2048].

²⁶ And [2532] when the unclean [169] spirit [4151] had torn [4682] him [846], and [2532] cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], he came [1831] out of [1537] him [846].

¹² And [2532] immediately [2117] the Spirit [4151] driveth [1544] him [846] into [1519] the wilderness [2048].

⁴ John [2491] did [1096] baptize [907] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], and [2532] preach [2784] the baptism [908] of repentance [3341] for [1519] the remission [859] of sins [266].
⁵ And [2532] there went out [1607] unto [4314] him [846] all [3956] the land [5561] of Judaea [2449], and [2532] they of Jerusalem [2415], and [2532] were [907] all [3956] baptized [907] of [5259] him [846] in [1722] the river [4215] of Jordan [2446], confessing [1843] their [846] sins [266].
⁶ And [1161] John [2491] was [2258] clothed [1746] with camel's [2574] hair [2359], and [2532] with a girdle [2223] of a skin [1193] about [4012] his [846] loins [3751]; and [2532] he did eat [2068] locusts [200] and [2532] wild [66] honey [3192];
⁷ And [2532] preached [2784], saying [3004], There cometh [2064] one mightier than [2478] I [3450] after [3694] me [3450], the latchet [2438] of whose [3739] shoes [846] [5266] I am [1510] not [3756] worthy [2425] to stoop down [2955] and unloose [3089].
⁸ I [1473] indeed [3303] have baptized [907] you [5209] with [1722] water [5204]: but [1161] he [846] shall baptize [907] you [5209] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151].
⁹ And [2532] it came to pass [1096] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250], that Jesus [2424] came [2064] from [575] Nazareth [3478] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] was baptized [907] of [5259] John [2491] in [1519] Jordan [2446].

¹⁰ And [2532] straightway [2112] coming up [305] out of [575] the water [5204], he saw [1492] the heavens [3772] opened [4977], and [2532] the Spirit [4151] like [5616] a dove [4058] descending [2597] upon [1909] him [846]:

⁸ I [1473] indeed [3303] have baptized [907] you [5209] with [1722] water [5204]: but [1161] he [846] shall baptize [907] you [5209] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151].
⁹ And [2532] it came to pass [1096] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250], that Jesus [2424] came [2064] from [575] Nazareth [3478] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] was baptized [907] of [5259] John [2491] in [1519] Jordan [2446].
¹⁰ And [2532] straightway [2112] coming up [305] out of [575] the water [5204], he saw [1492] the heavens [3772] opened [4977], and [2532] the Spirit [4151] like [5616] a dove [4058] descending [2597] upon [1909] him [846]:
¹¹ And [2532] there came [1096] a voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772], saying, Thou [4771] art [1488] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207], in [1722] whom [3739] I am well pleased [2106].
¹² And [2532] immediately [2117] the Spirit [4151] driveth [1544] him [846] into [1519] the wilderness [2048].
¹³ And [2532] he was [2258] there [1563] in [1722] the wilderness [2048] forty [5062] days [2250], tempted [3985] of [5259] Satan [4567]; and [2532] was [2258] with [3326] the wild beasts [2342]; and [2532] the angels [32] ministered [1247] unto him [846].

⁷ And [2532] preached [2784], saying [3004], There cometh [2064] one mightier than [2478] I [3450] after [3694] me [3450], the latchet [2438] of whose [3739] shoes [846] [5266] I am [1510] not [3756] worthy [2425] to stoop down [2955] and unloose [3089].

⁴⁴ And [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], See [3708] thou say [2036] nothing [3367] to any man [3367]: but [235] go thy way [5217], shew [1166] thyself [4572] to the priest [2409], and [2532] offer [4374] for [4012] thy [4675] cleansing [2512] those things [3739] which Moses [3475] commanded [4367], for [1519] a testimony [3142] unto them [846].

²⁰ And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Whose [5101] is this [3778] image [1504] and [2532] superscription [1923]?

¹⁹ Shew [1925] me [3427] the tribute [2778] money [3546]. And [1161] they brought [4374] unto him [846] a penny [1220].

²⁸ Therefore [3767] in [1722] the resurrection [386] whose [5101] wife [1135] shall she be [2071] of the seven [2033]? for [1063] they all [3956] had [2192] her [846].

³⁷ [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Thou shalt love [25] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316] with [1722] all [3650] thy [4675] heart [2588], and [2532] with [1722] all [3650] thy [4675] soul [5590], and [2532] with [1722] all [3650] thy [4675] mind [1271].
³⁸ This [3778] is [2076] the first [4413] and [2532] great [3173] commandment [1785].
³⁹ And [1161] the second [1208] is like [3664] unto it [846] [3778], Thou shalt love [25] thy [4675] neighbour [4139] as [5613] thyself [4572].

¹⁵ Then [5119] went [4198] the Pharisees [5330], and took [2983] counsel [4824] how [3704] they might entangle [3802] him [846] in [1722] his talk [3056].

²⁴ Saying [3004], Master [1320], Moses [3475] said [2036], If [1437] a man [5100] die [599], having [2192] no [3361] children [5043], his [846] brother [80] shall marry [1918] his [846] wife [1135], and [2532] raise up [450] seed [4690] unto his [846] brother [80].

³² I [1473] am [1510] the God [2316] of Abraham [11], and [2532] the God [2316] of Isaac [2464], and [2532] the God [2316] of Jacob [2384]? God [2316] is [2076] not [3756] the God [2316] of the dead [3498], but [235] of the living [2198].

³¹ But [1161] as touching [4012] the resurrection [386] of the dead [3498], have ye [314] not [3756] read [314] that which [3588] was spoken [4483] unto you [5213] by [5259] God [2316], saying [3004],

⁴ Simon [4613] the Canaanite [2581], and [2532] Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], who [3588] also [2532] betrayed [3860] him [846].
⁵ These [5128] twelve [1427] Jesus [2424] sent forth [649], and commanded [3853] them [846], saying [3004], Go [565] not [3361] into [1519] the way [3598] of the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] into [1519] any city [4172] of the Samaritans [4541] enter ye [1525] not [3361]:
⁶ But [1161] go [4198] rather [3123] to [4314] the lost [622] sheep [4263] of the house [3624] of Israel [2474].
⁷ And [1161] as ye go [4198], preach [2784], saying [3004], [3754] The kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is at hand [1448].
⁸ Heal [2323] the sick [770], cleanse [2511] the lepers [3015], raise [1453] the dead [3498], cast out [1544] devils [1140]: freely [1432] ye have received [2983], freely [1432] give [1325].

¹⁹ But [1161] when [3752] they deliver [3860] you [5209] up [3860], take [3309] no [3361] thought [3309] how [4459] or [2228] what [5101] ye shall speak [2980]: for [1063] it shall be given [1325] you [5213] in [1722] that same [1565] hour [5610] what [5101] ye shall speak [2980].

⁴⁰ He that receiveth [1209] you [5209] receiveth [1209] me [1691], and [2532] he that receiveth [1209] me [1691] receiveth [1209] him that sent [649] me [3165].

³ Philip [5376], and [2532] Bartholomew [918]; Thomas [2381], and [2532] Matthew [3156] the publican [5057]; James [2385] the son of [3588] Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Lebbaeus [3002], whose surname was [1941] Thaddaeus [2280];
⁴ Simon [4613] the Canaanite [2581], and [2532] Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], who [3588] also [2532] betrayed [3860] him [846].
⁵ These [5128] twelve [1427] Jesus [2424] sent forth [649], and commanded [3853] them [846], saying [3004], Go [565] not [3361] into [1519] the way [3598] of the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] into [1519] any city [4172] of the Samaritans [4541] enter ye [1525] not [3361]:

¹² And [1161] when ye come [1525] into [1519] an house [3614], salute [782] it [846].

¹³ And [2532] if [1437] [3303] the house [3614] be [5600] worthy [514], let your [5216] peace [1515] come [2064] upon [1909] it [846]: but [1161] if [3362] it be [5600] not [3362] worthy [514], let your [5216] peace [1515] return [1994] to [4314] you [5209].

¹¹ And [1161] into [1519] whatsoever [302] [3739] city [4172] or [2228] town [2968] ye shall enter [1525], enquire [1833] who [5101] in [1722] it [846] is [2076] worthy [514]; and there [2546] abide [3306] till [302] [2193] ye go thence [1831].

¹⁴ And [2532] whosoever [3739] shall [1209] not [3362] receive [1209] you [5209], nor [3366] hear [191] your [5216] words [3056], when ye depart out [1831] of that [1565] house [3614] or [2228] city [4172], shake off [1621] the dust [2868] of your [5216] feet [4228].

¹⁸ And [1161] Jesus [2424], walking [4043] by [3844] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056], saw [1492] two [1417] brethren [80], Simon [4613] called [3004] Peter [4074], and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80], casting [906] a net [293] into [1519] the sea [2281]: for [1063] they were [2258] fishers [231].

¹⁷ From [575] that time [5119] Jesus [2424] began [756] to preach [2784], and [2532] to say [3004], Repent [3340]: for [1063] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is at hand [1448].

⁵ Then [5119] the devil [1228] taketh [3880] him [846] up [3880] into [1519] the holy [40] city [4172], and [2532] setteth [2476] him [846] on [1909] a pinnacle [4419] of the temple [2411],

¹⁰ Then [5119] saith [3004] Jesus [2424] unto him [846], Get thee hence [5217], Satan [4567]: for [1063] it is written [1125], Thou shalt worship [4352] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316], and [2532] him [846] only [3441] shalt thou serve [3000].

⁷ Jesus [2424] said [5346] unto him [846], It is written [1125] again [3825], Thou shalt [1598] not [3756] tempt [1598] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316].

⁴ But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], It is written [1125], Man [444] shall [2198] not [3756] live [2198] by [1909] bread [740] alone [3441], but [235] by [1909] every [3956] word [4487] that proceedeth [1607] out of [1223] the mouth [4750] of God [2316].

⁷ Should ye not hear the words [01697] which the LORD [03068] hath cried [07121] by [03027] the former [07223] prophets [05030], when Jerusalem [03389] was inhabited [03427] and in prosperity [07961], and the cities [05892] thereof round about her [05439], when men inhabited [03427] the south [05045] and the plain [08219]?

² And the LORD [03068] answered [06030] me, and said [0559], Write [03789] the vision [02377], and make it plain [0874] upon tables [03871], that he may run [07323] that readeth [07121] it.

⁸ But truly [0199] I am full [04390] of power [03581] by the spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068], and of judgment [04941], and of might [01369], to declare [05046] unto Jacob [03290] his transgression [06588], and to Israel [03478] his sin [02403].

⁷ Surely the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] will do [06213] nothing [01697], but he revealeth [01540] his secret [05475] unto his servants [05650] the prophets [05030].

² And the spirit [07307] entered [0935] into me when he spake [01696] unto me, and set [05975] me upon my feet [07272], that I heard [08085] him that spake [01696] unto me.

² To whom the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came in the days [03117] of Josiah [02977] the son [01121] of Amon [0526] king [04428] of Judah [03063], in the thirteenth [07969] [06240] year [08141] of his reign [04427].

¹ The words [01697] of Jeremiah [03414] the son [01121] of Hilkiah [02518], of the priests [03548] that were in Anathoth [06068] in the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144]:

³ It came also in the days [03117] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], unto the end [08552] of the eleventh [06249] [06240] year [08141] of Zedekiah [06667] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], unto the carrying away [01540] of Jerusalem [03389] captive [01540] in the fifth [02549] month [02320].
⁴ Then the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559],
⁵ Before [02962] I formed [03335] thee in the belly [0990] I knew [03045] thee; and before thou camest forth [03318] out of the womb [07358] I sanctified [06942] thee, and I ordained [05414] thee a prophet [05030] unto the nations [01471].
⁶ Then said [0559] I, Ah [0162], Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! behold, I cannot [03045] speak [01696]: for I am a child [05288].
⁷ But the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Say [0559] not, I am a child [05288]: for thou shalt go [03212] to all that I shall send [07971] thee, and whatsoever I command [06680] thee thou shalt speak [01696].
⁸ Be not afraid [03372] of their faces [06440]: for I am with thee to deliver [05337] thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
⁹ Then the LORD [03068] put forth [07971] his hand [03027], and touched [05060] my mouth [06310]. And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Behold, I have put [05414] my words [01697] in thy mouth [06310].
¹⁰ See [07200], I have this day [03117] set [06485] thee over the nations [01471] and over the kingdoms [04467], to root out [05428], and to pull down [05422], and to destroy [06], and to throw down [02040], to build [01129], and to plant [05193].
¹¹ Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], Jeremiah [03414], what seest [07200] thou? And I said [0559], I see [07200] a rod [04731] of an almond tree [08247].
¹² Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, Thou hast well [03190] seen [07200]: for I will hasten [08245] my word [01697] to perform [06213] it.
¹³ And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me the second time [08145], saying [0559], What seest [07200] thou? And I said [0559], I see [07200] a seething [05301] pot [05518]; and the face [06440] thereof is toward [06440] the north [06828].
¹⁴ Then the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Out of the north [06828] an evil [07451] shall break forth [06605] upon all the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776].
¹⁵ For, lo, I will call [07121] all the families [04940] of the kingdoms [04467] of the north [06828], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and they shall come [0935], and they shall set [05414] every one [0376] his throne [03678] at the entering [06607] of the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389], and against all the walls [02346] thereof round about [05439], and against all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063].
¹⁶ And I will utter [01696] my judgments [04941] against them touching [05921] all their wickedness [07451], who have forsaken [05800] me, and have burned incense [06999] unto other [0312] gods [0430], and worshipped [07812] the works [04639] of their own hands [03027].
¹⁷ Thou therefore gird up [0247] thy loins [04975], and arise [06965], and speak [01696] unto them all that I command [06680] thee: be not dismayed [02865] at their faces [06440], lest I confound [02865] thee before [06440] them.
¹⁸ For, behold, I [0589] have made [05414] thee this day [03117] a defenced [04013] city [05892], and an iron [01270] pillar [05982], and brasen [05178] walls [02346] against the whole land [0776], against the kings [04428] of Judah [03063], against the princes [08269] thereof, against the priests [03548] thereof, and against the people [05971] of the land [0776].
¹⁹ And they shall fight [03898] against thee; but they shall not prevail [03201] against thee; for I am with thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], to deliver [05337] thee.

⁵ Then said [0559] I, Woe [0188] is me! for I am undone [01820]; because I am a man [0376] of unclean [02931] lips [08193], and I dwell [03427] in the midst [08432] of a people [05971] of unclean [02931] lips [08193]: for mine eyes [05869] have seen [07200] the King [04428], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635].
⁶ Then flew [05774] one [0259] of the seraphims [08314] unto me, having a live coal [07531] in his hand [03027], which he had taken [03947] with the tongs [04457] from off the altar [04196]:
⁷ And he laid [05060] it upon my mouth [06310], and said [0559], Lo, this hath touched [05060] thy lips [08193]; and thine iniquity [05771] is taken away [05493], and thy sin [02403] purged [03722].
⁸ Also I heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the Lord [0136], saying [0559], Whom shall I send [07971], and who will go [03212] for us? Then said [0559] I, Here am I; send [07971] me.
⁹ And he said [0559], Go [03212], and tell [0559] this people [05971], Hear [08085] ye indeed [08085], but understand [0995] not; and see [07200] ye indeed [07200], but perceive [03045] not.

¹¹ The Lord [0136] gave [05414] the word [0562]: great [07227] was the company [06635] of those that published [01319] it.

¹⁸ The paths [0734] of their way [01870] are turned aside [03943]; they go [05927] to nothing [08414], and perish [06].

¹⁰ Then should I yet have comfort [05165]; yea, I would harden [05539] myself in sorrow [02427]: let him not spare [02550]; for I have not concealed [03582] the words [0561] of the Holy One [06918].

² The Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] spake [01696] by me, and his word [04405] was in my tongue [03956].

²⁴ For the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] is a consuming [0398] fire [0784], even a jealous [07067] God [0410].

³¹ (For the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] is a merciful [07349] God [0410];) he will not forsake [07503] thee, neither destroy [07843] thee, nor forget [07911] the covenant [01285] of thy fathers [01] which he sware [07650] unto them.

²⁹ But if from thence thou shalt seek [01245] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], thou shalt find [04672] him, if thou seek [01875] him with all thy heart [03824] and with all thy soul [05315].

¹ Now therefore hearken [08085], O Israel [03478], unto the statutes [02706] and unto the judgments [04941], which I teach [03925] you, for to do [06213] them, that ye may live [02421], and go in [0935] and possess [03423] the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01] giveth [05414] you.
² Ye shall not add [03254] unto the word [01697] which I command [06680] you, neither shall ye diminish [01639] ought from it, that ye may keep [08104] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430] which I command [06680] you.
³ Your eyes [05869] have seen [07200] what the LORD [03068] did [06213] because of Baalpeor [01187]: for all the men [0376] that followed [0310] [01980] Baalpeor [01187], the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath destroyed [08045] them from among [07130] you.
⁴ But ye that did cleave [01695] unto the LORD [03068] your God [0430] are alive [02416] every one of you this day [03117].

¹⁰ Specially the day [03117] that thou stoodest [05975] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in Horeb [02722], when the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Gather [06950] me the people [05971] together [06950], and I will make them hear [08085] my words [01697], that they may learn [03925] to fear [03372] me all the days [03117] that they shall live [02416] upon the earth [0127], and that they may teach [03925] their children [01121].

²² But I must die [04191] in this land [0776], I must not go over [05674] Jordan [03383]: but ye shall go over [05674], and possess [03423] that good [02896] land [0776].

⁵ Behold [07200], I have taught [03925] you statutes [02706] and judgments [04941], even as [0834] the LORD [03068] my God [0430] commanded [06680] me, that ye should do [06213] so in [07130] the land [0776] whither ye go [0935] to possess [03423] it.

¹³ And he declared [05046] unto you his covenant [01285], which he commanded [06680] you to perform [06213], even ten [06235] commandments [01697]; and he wrote [03789] them upon two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068].

² Ye shall not add [03254] unto the word [01697] which I command [06680] you, neither shall ye diminish [01639] ought from it, that ye may keep [08104] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430] which I command [06680] you.

¹² And he shall consecrate [05144] unto the LORD [03068] the days [03117] of his separation [05145], and shall bring [0935] a lamb [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] for a trespass offering [0817]: but the days [03117] that were before [07223] shall be lost [05307], because his separation [05145] was defiled [02930].
¹³ And this is the law [08451] of the Nazarite [05139], when [03117] the days [03117] of his separation [05145] are fulfilled [04390]: he shall be brought [0935] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]:
¹⁴ And he shall offer [07126] his offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], one [0259] he lamb [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without blemish [08549] for a burnt offering [05930], and one [0259] ewe lamb [03535] of the first [01323] year [08141] without blemish [08549] for a sin offering [02403], and one [0259] ram [0352] without blemish [08549] for peace offerings [08002],
¹⁵ And a basket [05536] of unleavened bread [04682], cakes [02471] of fine flour [05560] mingled [01101] with oil [08081], and wafers [07550] of unleavened bread [04682] anointed [04886] with oil [08081], and their meat offering [04503], and their drink offerings [05262].
¹⁶ And the priest [03548] shall bring [07126] them before [06440] the LORD [03068], and shall offer [06213] his sin offering [02403], and his burnt offering [05930]:

⁵ All the days [03117] of the vow [05088] of his separation [05145] there shall no razor [08593] come [05674] upon his head [07218]: until the days [03117] be fulfilled [04390], in the which he separateth [05144] himself unto the LORD [03068], he shall be holy [06918], and shall let the locks [06545] of the hair [08181] of his head [07218] grow [01431].

²³ Speak [01696] unto Aaron [0175] and unto his sons [01121], saying [0559], On this wise [03541] ye shall bless [01288] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559] unto them,

²⁴ The LORD [03068] bless [01288] thee, and keep [08104] thee:

¹¹ And the priest [03548] shall offer [06213] the one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930], and make an atonement [03722] for him, for that [0834] he sinned [02398] by the dead [05315], and shall hallow [06942] his head [07218] that same day [03117].

²⁴ The LORD [03068] bless [01288] thee, and keep [08104] thee:
²⁵ The LORD [03068] make his face [06440] shine [0215] upon thee, and be gracious [02603] unto thee:
²⁶ The LORD [03068] lift up [05375] his countenance [06440] upon thee, and give [07760] thee peace [07965].

¹ And he said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Come up [05927] unto the LORD [03068], thou, and Aaron [0175], Nadab [05070], and Abihu [030], and seventy [07657] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478]; and worship [07812] ye afar off [07350].

¹⁶ And the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] abode [07931] upon mount [02022] Sinai [05514], and the cloud [06051] covered [03680] it six [08337] days [03117]: and the seventh [07637] day [03117] he called [07121] unto Moses [04872] out of the midst [08432] of the cloud [06051].

¹² And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Come up [05927] to me into the mount [02022], and be there: and I will give [05414] thee tables [03871] of stone [068], and a law [08451], and commandments [04687] which I have written [03789]; that thou mayest teach [03384] them.

⁸ And Moses [04872] took [03947] the blood [01818], and sprinkled [02236] it on the people [05971], and said [0559], Behold the blood [01818] of the covenant [01285], which the LORD [03068] hath made [03772] with you concerning all these words [01697].

⁷ And he took [03947] the book [05612] of the covenant [01285], and read [07121] in the audience [0241] of the people [05971]: and they said [0559], All that the LORD [03068] hath said [01696] will we do [06213], and be obedient [08085].

⁴ And Moses [04872] wrote [03789] all the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], and rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and builded [01129] an altar [04196] under the hill [02022], and twelve pillars [04676], according to the twelve [08147] [06240] tribes [07626] of Israel [03478].

³ And Moses [04872] came [0935] and told [05608] the people [05971] all the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], and all the judgments [04941]: and all the people [05971] answered [06030] with one [0259] voice [06963], and said [0559], All the words [01697] which the LORD [03068] hath said [01696] will we do [06213].

¹ And Moses [04872] answered [06030] and said [0559], But, behold, they will not believe [0539] me, nor hearken [08085] unto my voice [06963]: for they will say [0559], The LORD [03068] hath not appeared [07200] unto thee.

²⁰ And Moses [04872] took [03947] his wife [0802] and his sons [01121], and set [07392] them upon an ass [02543], and he returned [07725] to the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: and Moses [04872] took [03947] the rod [04294] of God [0430] in his hand [03027].

⁷ And he said [0559], Put [07725] thine hand [03027] into thy bosom [02436] again [07725]. And he put [07725] his hand [03027] into his bosom [02436] again [07725]; and plucked [03318] it out of his bosom [02436], and, behold, it was turned again [07725] as his other flesh [01320].

⁶ And the LORD [03068] said [0559] furthermore [05750] unto him, Put [0935] now thine hand [03027] into thy bosom [02436]. And he put [0935] his hand [03027] into his bosom [02436]: and when he took [03318] it out, behold, his hand [03027] was leprous [06879] as snow [07950].

¹⁹ And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872] in Midian [04080], Go [03212], return [07725] into Egypt [04714]: for all the men [0582] are dead [04191] which sought [01245] thy life [05315].

¹⁴ And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Moses [04872], and he said [0559], Is not Aaron [0175] the Levite [03881] thy brother [0251]? I know [03045] that he can speak [01696] well [01696]. And also, behold, he cometh forth [03318] to meet [07125] thee: and when he seeth [07200] thee, he will be glad [08055] in his heart [03820].

¹⁷ And thou shalt take [03947] this rod [04294] in thine hand [03027], wherewith thou shalt do [06213] signs [0226].

³⁰ And Aaron [0175] spake [01696] all the words [01697] which the LORD [03068] had spoken [01696] unto Moses [04872], and did [06213] the signs [0226] in the sight [05869] of the people [05971].

²⁸ And Moses [04872] told [05046] Aaron [0175] all the words [01697] of the LORD [03068] who had sent [07971] him, and all the signs [0226] which he had commanded [06680] him.

¹⁹ And [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] shall take away [851] from [575] the words [3056] of the book [976] of this [5129] prophecy [4394], God [2316] shall take away [851] his [846] part [3313] out of [575] the book [976] of life [2222], and [2532] out of [1537] the holy [40] city [4172], and [2532] from the things which are written [1125] in [1722] this [5026] book [975].

¹⁵ And thou shalt speak [01696] unto him, and put [07760] words [01697] in his mouth [06310]: and I will be with thy mouth [06310], and with his mouth [06310], and will teach [03384] you what ye shall do [06213].

¹³ Which things [3739] also [2532] we speak [2980], not [3756] in [1722] the words [3056] which man's [442] wisdom [4678] teacheth [1318], but [235] which the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] teacheth [1722] [1318]; comparing [4793] spiritual things [4152] with spiritual [4152].

¹² But [1161] to the rest [3062] speak [3004] I [1473], not [3756] the Lord [2962]: If any [1536] brother [80] hath [2192] a wife [1135] that believeth not [571], and [2532] she [846] be pleased [4909] to dwell [3611] with [3326] him [846], let him [863] not [3361] put [863] her [846] away [863].

¹⁹ We have [2192] also [2532] a more sure [949] word [3056] of prophecy [4397]; whereunto [3739] ye do [4160] well [2573] that ye take heed [4337], as [5613] unto a light [3088] that shineth [5316] in [1722] a dark [850] place [5117], until [2193] [3739] the day [2250] dawn [1306], and [2532] the day star [5459] arise [393] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]:

¹ Paul [3972], an apostle [652] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] by [1223] the will [2307] of God [2316], to the saints [40] which are [5607] at [1722] Ephesus [2181], and [2532] to the faithful [4103] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]:

⁹ Ye shall offer [05927] no strange [02114] incense [07004] thereon, nor burnt sacrifice [05930], nor meat offering [04503]; neither shall ye pour [05258] drink offering [05262] thereon.

¹ And thou shalt make [06213] an altar [04196] to burn [04729] incense [07004] upon: of shittim [07848] wood [06086] shalt thou make [06213] it.

⁶ Even as [2531] Abraham [11] believed [4100] God [2316], and [2532] it was accounted [3049] to him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343].

¹⁹ To wit [5613], that [3754] God [2316] was [2258] in [1722] Christ [5547], reconciling [2644] the world [2889] unto himself [1438], not [3361] imputing [3049] their [846] trespasses [3900] unto them [846]; and [2532] hath committed [5087] unto [1722] us [2254] the word [3056] of reconciliation [2643].

¹⁸ Who [3739] against [3844] hope [1680] believed [4100] in [1909] hope [1680], that [1519] he [846] might become [1096] the father [3962] of many [4183] nations [1484], according [2596] to that which was spoken [2046], So [3779] shall [2071] thy [4675] seed [4690] be [2071].

⁸ Blessed [3107] is the man [435] to whom [3739] the Lord [2962] will [3049] not [3364] impute [3049] sin [266].

¹¹ And [2532] he received [2983] the sign [4592] of circumcision [4061], a seal [4973] of the righteousness [1343] of the faith [4102] which [3588] he had yet being [1722] uncircumcised [203]: that [1519] he [846] might be [1511] the father [3962] of all [3956] them that believe [4100], though [1223] they be not circumcised [203]; that [1519] righteousness [1343] might be imputed [3049] unto them [846] also [2532]:

⁶ Even as [2509] David [1138] also [2532] describeth [3004] the blessedness [3108] of the man [444], unto whom [3739] God [2316] imputeth [3049] righteousness [1343] without [5565] works [2041],

¹³ For [1063] the promise [1860], that he should be [1511] the [846] heir [2818] of the world [2889], was not [3756] to Abraham [11], or [2228] to his [846] seed [4690], through [1223] the law [3551], but [235] through [1223] the righteousness [1343] of faith [4102].

⁵ But [1161] to him that worketh [2038] not [3361], but [1161] believeth [4100] on [1909] him that justifieth [1344] the ungodly [765], his [846] faith [4102] is counted [3049] for [1519] righteousness [1343].

²⁴ But [235] for [1223] us [2248] also [2532], to whom [3739] it shall be [3195] imputed [3049], if we believe [4100] on [1909] him that raised up [1453] Jesus [2424] our [2257] Lord [2962] from [1537] the dead [3498];

²³ Now [1161] it was [1125] not [3756] written [1125] for his sake [1223] [846] alone [3440], that [3754] it was imputed [3049] to him [846];

⁸ Blessed [3107] is the man [435] to whom [3739] the Lord [2962] will [3049] not [3364] impute [3049] sin [266].
⁹ Cometh this [3778] blessedness [3108] then [3767] upon [1909] the circumcision [4061] only, or [2228] upon [1909] the uncircumcision [203] also [2532]? for [1063] we say [3004] that [3754] faith [4102] was reckoned [3049] to Abraham [11] for [1519] righteousness [1343].
¹⁰ How [4459] was it [3049] then [3767] reckoned [3049]? when he was [5607] in [1722] circumcision [4061], or [2228] in [1722] uncircumcision [203]? Not [3756] in [1722] circumcision [4061], but [235] in [1722] uncircumcision [203].
¹¹ And [2532] he received [2983] the sign [4592] of circumcision [4061], a seal [4973] of the righteousness [1343] of the faith [4102] which [3588] he had yet being [1722] uncircumcised [203]: that [1519] he [846] might be [1511] the father [3962] of all [3956] them that believe [4100], though [1223] they be not circumcised [203]; that [1519] righteousness [1343] might be imputed [3049] unto them [846] also [2532]:

⁶ Even as [2509] David [1138] also [2532] describeth [3004] the blessedness [3108] of the man [444], unto whom [3739] God [2316] imputeth [3049] righteousness [1343] without [5565] works [2041],

³⁷ For [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] this [5124] that is written [1125] must [1163] yet [2089] be accomplished [5055] in [1722] me [1698], And [2532] he was reckoned [3049] among [3326] the transgressors [459]: for [2532] [1063] the things concerning [4012] me [1700] have [2192] an end [5056].

²⁴ And [1161] there was [1096] also [2532] a strife [5379] among [1722] them [846], which [5101] of them [846] should be accounted [1380] [1511] the greatest [3187].

² Blessed [0835] is the man [0120] unto whom the LORD [03068] imputeth [02803] not iniquity [05771], and in whose spirit [07307] there is no guile [07423].

¹ A Psalm of David [01732], Maschil [04905]. Blessed [0835] is he whose transgression [06588] is forgiven [05375], whose sin [02401] is covered [03680].

¹⁹ And said [0559] unto the king [04428], Let not my lord [0113] impute [02803] iniquity [05771] unto me, neither do thou remember [02142] that which thy servant [05650] did perversely [05753] the day [03117] that my lord [0113] the king [04428] went out [03318] of Jerusalem [03389], that the king [04428] should take [07760] it to his heart [03820].

¹⁸ And there went over [05674] a ferry boat [05679] to carry over [05674] the king's [04428] household [01004], and to do [06213] what he thought [05869] good [02896]. And Shimei [08096] the son [01121] of Gera [01617] fell down [05307] before [06440] the king [04428], as he was come over [05674] Jordan [03383];

¹⁵ Did I then [03117] begin [02490] to enquire [07592] of God [0430] for him? be it far from me [02486]: let not the king [04428] impute [07760] any thing [01697] unto his servant [05650], nor to all the house [01004] of my father [01]: for thy servant [05650] knew [03045] nothing [01697] of all this, less [06996] or more [01419].

²³ Then the priest [03548] shall reckon [02803] unto him the worth [04373] of thy estimation [06187], even unto the year [08141] of the jubile [03104]: and he shall give [05414] thine estimation [06187] in that day [03117], as a holy thing [06944] unto the LORD [03068].

¹⁸ But if he sanctify [06942] his field [07704] after [0310] the jubile [03104], then the priest [03548] shall reckon [02803] unto him the money [03701] according to [06310] the years [08141] that remain [03498], even unto the year [08141] of the jubile [03104], and it shall be abated [01639] from thy estimation [06187].

²³ And [2532] the scripture [1124] was fulfilled [4137] which saith [3004], [1161] Abraham [11] believed [4100] God [2316], and [2532] it was imputed [3049] unto him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343]: and [2532] he was called [2564] the Friend [5384] of God [2316].

⁵⁰ And he shall reckon [02803] with him that bought [07069] him from the year [08141] that he was sold [04376] to him unto the year [08141] of jubile [03104]: and the price [03701] of his sale [04465] shall be according unto the number [04557] of years [08141], according to the time [03117] of an hired servant [07916] shall it be with him.

¹⁸ If [1161] [1487] he hath wronged [91] thee [4571], or [2228] oweth [3784] thee ought [5100], put [1677] that [5124] on [1677] mine account [1698];

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord [0136] himself shall give [05414] you a sign [0226]; Behold, a virgin [05959] shall conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121], and shall call [07121] his name [08034] Immanuel [06005] [0410].

³¹ Thou [0607], O king [04430], sawest [01934] [02370], and behold [0431] a great [02298] [07690] image [06755]. This [01797] great [07229] image [06755], whose brightness [02122] was excellent [03493], stood [06966] before [06903] thee; and the form [07299] thereof was terrible [01763].

¹¹ But it shall be, when evening [06153] cometh on [06437], he shall wash [07364] himself with water [04325]: and when the sun [08121] is down [0935], he shall come [0935] into [08432] the camp [04264] again.

¹⁴ When the Almighty [07706] scattered [06566] kings [04428] in it, it was white as snow [07949] in Salmon [06756].

¹⁰ All the land [0776] shall be turned [05437] as a plain [06160] from Geba [01387] to Rimmon [07417] south [05045] of Jerusalem [03389]: and it shall be lifted up [07213], and inhabited [03427] in her place, from Benjamin's [01144] gate [08179] unto the place [04725] of the first [07223] gate [08179], unto the corner [06434] gate [08179], and from the tower [04026] of Hananeel [02606] unto the king's [04428] winepresses [03342].

¹³ They have sown [02232] wheat [02406], but shall reap [07114] thorns [06975]: they have put themselves to pain [02470], but shall not profit [03276]: and they shall be ashamed [0954] of your revenues [08393] because of the fierce [02740] anger [0639] of the LORD [03068].

³⁶ Why gaddest thou about [0235] so much [03966] to change [08138] thy way [01870]? thou also shalt be ashamed [0954] of Egypt [04714], as thou wast ashamed [0954] of Assyria [0804].

⁶ It shall be also carried [02986] unto Assyria [0804] for a present [04503] to king [04428] Jareb [03377]: Ephraim [0669] shall receive [03947] shame [01317], and Israel [03478] shall be ashamed [0954] of his own counsel [06098].

¹⁸ Their drink [05435] is sour [05493]: they have committed whoredom [02181] continually [02181]: her rulers [04043] with shame [07036] do love [0157], Give [03051] ye.

³ Thou shalt also take [03947] thereof a few [04592] in number [04557], and bind [06696] them in thy skirts [03671].
⁴ Then take of them again [03947], and cast [07993] them into the midst [08432] of the fire [0784], and burn [08313] them in the fire [0784]; for thereof shall a fire [0784] come forth [03318] into all the house [01004] of Israel [03478].

¹⁵ Though he be fruitful [06500] among his brethren [0251], an east wind [06921] shall come [0935], the wind [07307] of the LORD [03068] shall come up [05927] from the wilderness [04057], and his spring [04726] shall become dry [0954], and his fountain [04599] shall be dried up [02717]: he shall spoil [08154] the treasure [0214] of all pleasant [02532] vessels [03627].

¹³ When thou criest [02199], let thy companies [06899] deliver [05337] thee; but the wind [07307] shall carry them all away [05375]; vanity [01892] shall take [03947] them: but he that putteth his trust [02620] in me shall possess [05157] the land [0776], and shall inherit [03423] my holy [06944] mountain [02022];

³ Who layeth the beams [07136] of his chambers [05944] in the waters [04325]: who maketh [07760] the clouds [05645] his chariot [07398]: who walketh [01980] upon the wings [03671] of the wind [07307]:

¹¹ He made [07896] darkness [02822] his secret place [05643]; his pavilion [05521] round about [05439] him were dark [02824] waters [04325] and thick clouds [05645] of the skies [07834].

¹⁰ For they shall eat [0398], and not have enough [07646]: they shall commit whoredom [02181], and shall not increase [06555]: because they have left off [05800] to take heed [08104] to the LORD [03068].

¹⁴ And Eli [05941] said [0559] unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken [07937]? put away [05493] thy wine [03196] from thee.

¹⁰ For while they be folden together [05440] as thorns [05518], and while they are drunken [05433] as drunkards [05435], they shall be devoured [0398] as stubble [07179] fully [04392] dry [03002].

²² Thy silver [03701] is become dross [05509], thy wine [05435] mixed [04107] with water [04325]:

²¹ Yet I had planted [05193] thee a noble vine [08321], wholly a right [0571] seed [02233]: how then art thou turned [02015] into the degenerate plant [05494] of a strange [05237] vine [01612] unto me?

¹⁹ The wind [07307] hath bound her up [06887] in her wings [03671], and they shall be ashamed [0954] because of their sacrifices [02077].
