ThenG5119 shall the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 be likenedG3666 unto tenG1176 virginsG3933, whichG3748 tookG2983 theirG846 lampsG2985, and went forthG1831 to meetG529+G1519 the bridegroomG3566.
AndG1161 fiveG4002 ofG1537 themG846 wereG2258 wiseG5429, andG2532 fiveG4002 were foolishG3474.
TheyG3748 that were foolishG3474 tookG2983 theirG846+G1438 lampsG2985, and tookG2983 noG3756 oilG1637 withG3326 themG1438:
ButG1161 the wiseG5429 tookG2983 oilG1637 inG1722 theirG846 vesselsG30 withG3326 theirG846 lampsG2985.
WhileG1161 the bridegroomG3566 tarriedG5549, they allG3956 slumberedG3573 andG2532 sleptG2518.
AndG1161 at midnightG3319+G3571 there was a cryG2906 madeG1096, BeholdG2400, the bridegroomG3566 comethG2064; go ye outG1831 toG1519 meetG529 himG846.
ThenG5119 allG3956 thoseG1565 virginsG3933 aroseG1453, andG2532 trimmedG2885 theirG846 lampsG2985.
AndG1161 the foolishG3474 saidG2036 unto the wiseG5429, GiveG1325 usG2254 ofG1537 yourG5216 oilG1637; forG3754 ourG2257 lampsG2985 are gone outG4570. {gone out: or, going out}
ButG1161 the wiseG5429 answeredG611, sayingG3004, Not so; lestG3379 there beG714 notG3756 enoughG714 for usG2254 andG2532 youG5213: butG1161 go yeG4198 ratherG3123 to themG4314 that sellG4453, andG2532 buyG59 for yourselvesG1438.
AndG1161 while theyG846 wentG565 to buyG59, the bridegroomG3566 cameG2064; andG2532 they that were readyG2092 went inG1525 withG3326 himG846 toG1519 the marriageG1062: andG2532 the doorG2374 was shutG2808.
AfterwardG1161+G5305 cameG2064 alsoG2532 the otherG3062 virginsG3933, sayingG3004, LordG2962, LordG2962, openG455 to usG2254.
ButG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, I knowG1492 youG5209 notG3756.
WatchG1127 thereforeG3767, forG3754 ye knowG1492 neitherG3756 the dayG2250 norG3761 the hourG5610 whereinG1722+G3739 the SonG5207 of manG444 comethG2064.
ForG1063 the kingdom of heaven is asG5618 a manG444 travelling into a far countryG589, who calledG2564 his ownG2398 servantsG1401, andG2532 deliveredG3860 unto themG846 hisG846 goodsG5224.
AndG2532 unto oneG3739+G3303 he gaveG1325 fiveG4002 talentsG5007+G1161, to anotherG3739 twoG1417, andG1161 to anotherG3739 oneG1520; to every manG1538 accordingG2596 to his severalG2398 abilityG1411; andG2532 straightwayG2112 took his journeyG589. {talents: a talent is 187.pounds 10.ten shillings, chap.18.24}
ThenG1161 he that had receivedG2983 the fiveG4002 talentsG5007 wentG4198 and tradedG2038 withG1722 the sameG846, andG2532 madeG4160 them otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007.
AndG2532 likewiseG5615 he that had receivedG3588 twoG1417, heG846 alsoG2532 gainedG2770 otherG243 twoG1417.
ButG1161 he that had receivedG2983 oneG1520 wentG565 and diggedG3736 inG1722 the earthG1093, andG2532 hidG613 hisG846 lord'sG2962 moneyG694.
AfterG1161+G3326 a longG4183 timeG5550 the lordG2962 of thoseG1565 servantsG1401 comethG2064, andG2532 reckonethG4868+G3056 withG3326 themG846.
And soG2532 he that had receivedG2983 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 cameG4334 and broughtG4374 otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thou deliveredstG3860 unto meG3427 fiveG4002 talentsG5007: beholdG2396, I have gainedG2770 besideG1909 themG846 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 moreG243.
HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, Well doneG2095, thou goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401: thou hast beenG2258 faithfulG4103 overG1909 a few thingsG3641, I will makeG2525 theeG4571 rulerG2525 overG1909 many thingsG4183: enter thouG1525 intoG1519 the joyG5479 of thyG4675 lordG2962.
He alsoG2532 that had receivedG2983 twoG1417 talentsG5007 cameG4334 and saidG2036, LordG2962, thou deliveredstG3860 unto meG3427 twoG1417 talentsG5007: beholdG2396, I have gainedG2770 twoG1417 otherG243 talentsG5007 besideG1909 themG846.
HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, Well doneG2095, goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401; thou hast beenG2258 faithfulG4103 overG1909 a few thingsG3641, I will makeG2525 theeG4571 rulerG2525 overG1909 many thingsG4183: enter thouG1525 intoG1519 the joyG5479 of thyG4675 lordG2962.
ThenG1161+G2532 he which had receivedG2983 the oneG1520 talentG5007 cameG4334 and saidG2036, LordG2962, I knewG1097 theeG4571 thatG3754 thou artG1488 an hardG4642 manG444, reapingG2325 whereG3699 thou hastG4687 notG3756 sownG4687, andG2532 gatheringG4863 whereG3606 thou hastG1287 notG3756 strawedG1287:
AndG2532 I was afraidG5399, and wentG565 and hidG2928 thyG4675 talentG5007 inG1722 the earthG1093: loG2396, there thou hastG2192 that is thineG4674.
HisG846 lordG2962 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou wickedG4190 andG2532 slothfulG3636 servantG1401, thou knewestG1492 thatG3754 I reapG2325 whereG3699 I sowedG4687 notG3756, andG2532 gatherG4863 whereG3606 I haveG1287 notG3756 strawedG1287:
ThouG4571 oughtestG1163 thereforeG3767 to have putG906 myG3450 moneyG694 to the exchangersG5133, andG2532 then at my comingG2064 IG1473 shouldG302 have receivedG2865 mine ownG1699 withG4862 usuryG5110.
TakeG142 thereforeG3767 the talentG5007 fromG575 himG846, andG2532 giveG1325 it unto him which hathG2192 tenG1176 talentsG5007.
ForG1063 unto every oneG3956 that hathG2192 shall be givenG1325, andG2532 he shall have abundanceG4052: butG1161 fromG575 himG846 that hathG2192 notG3361 shall be taken awayG142+G575 evenG2532 that whichG3739 he hathG2192.
AndG2532 cast yeG1544 the unprofitableG888 servantG1401 intoG1519 outerG1857 darknessG4655: thereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
WhenG1161+G3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall comeG2064 inG1722 hisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 allG3956 the holyG40 angelsG32 withG3326 himG846, thenG5119 shall he sitG2523 uponG1909 the throneG2362 of hisG846 gloryG1391:
AndG2532 beforeG1715 himG846 shall be gatheredG4863 allG3956 nationsG1484: andG2532 he shall separateG873 themG846 oneG240 fromG575 anotherG240, asG5618 a shepherdG4166 dividethG873 his sheepG4263 fromG575 the goatsG2056:
AndG2532 he shall setG2476+G3303 the sheepG4263 onG1537 hisG846 right handG1188, butG1161 the goatsG2055 onG1537 the leftG2176.
ThenG5119 shall the KingG935 sayG2046 unto them onG1537 hisG846 right handG1188, ComeG1205, ye blessedG2127 of myG3450 FatherG3962, inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 preparedG2090 for youG5213 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889:
ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 drinkG4222: I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 inG4863:
NakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165: I was sickG770, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165: I wasG2252 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye cameG2064 untoG4314 meG3165.
ThenG5119 shall the righteousG1342 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, andG2532 fedG5142 thee? orG2228 thirstyG1372, andG2532 gave thee drinkG4222?
WhenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 a strangerG3581, andG2532 took thee inG4863? orG2228 nakedG1131, andG2532 clothedG4016 thee?
Or whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 theeG4571?
AndG2532 the KingG935 shall answerG611 and sayG2046 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye have doneG4160 it unto oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130 myG3450 brethrenG80, ye have doneG4160 it unto meG1698.
ThenG5119 shall he sayG2046 alsoG2532 unto them onG1537 the left handG2176, DepartG4198 fromG575 meG1700, ye cursedG2672, intoG1519 everlastingG166 fireG4442, preparedG2090 for the devilG1228 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32:
ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 noG3756 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 noG3756 drinkG4222:
I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 notG3756 inG4863: nakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165 notG3756: sickG772, andG2532 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165 notG3756.
ThenG5119 shall theyG846 alsoG2532 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, orG2228 athirstG1372, orG2228 a strangerG3581, orG2228 nakedG1131, orG2228 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 didG1247 notG3756 ministerG1247 unto theeG4671?
ThenG5119 shall he answerG611 themG846, sayingG3004, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye didG4160 it notG3756 to oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130, ye didG4160 it notG3761 to meG1698.
AndG2532 theseG3778 shall go awayG565 intoG1519 everlastingG166 punishmentG2851: butG1161 the righteousG1342 intoG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166.

And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 satH3427 in his houseH1004, and the LORDH3068 had given him restH5117 round aboutH5439 from all his enemiesH341;
That the kingH4428 saidH559 unto NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, SeeH7200 now, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarH730, but the arkH727 of GodH430 dwellethH3427 withinH8432 curtainsH3407.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to the kingH4428, GoH3212, doH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for the LORDH3068 is with thee.
And DavidH1732 consultedH3289 with the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and hundredsH3967, and with every leaderH5057.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, If it seem goodH2895 unto you, and that it be of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, let us sendH7971 abroadH6555 unto our brethrenH251 every where, that are leftH7604 in all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and with them also to the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 which are in their citiesH5892 and suburbsH4054, that they may gatherH6908 themselves unto us: {send…: Heb. break forth and send} {in their…: Heb. in the cities of their suburbs}
And let us bring againH5437 the arkH727 of our GodH430 to us: for we enquiredH1875 not at it in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586. {bring…: Heb. bring about}
Then DavidH1732 saidH559, This is the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430, and this is the altarH4196 of the burnt offeringH5930 for IsraelH3478.
And DavidH1732 commandedH559 to gather togetherH3664 the strangersH1616 that were in the landH776 of IsraelH3478; and he setH5975 masonsH2672 to hewH2672 wroughtH1496 stonesH68 to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of GodH430.
And DavidH1732 preparedH3559 ironH1270 in abundanceH7230 for the nailsH4548 for the doorsH1817 of the gatesH8179, and for the joiningsH4226; and brassH5178 in abundanceH7230 without weightH4948;
Also cedarH730 treesH6086 in abundanceH369+H4557: for the ZidoniansH6722 and they of TyreH6876 broughtH935 muchH7230 cedarH730 woodH6086 to DavidH1732.
And DavidH1732 saidH559, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 is youngH5288 and tenderH7390, and the houseH1004 that is to be buildedH1129 for the LORDH3068 must be exceedingH4605 magnificalH1431, of fameH8034 and of gloryH8597 throughout all countriesH776: I will therefore now make preparationH3559 for it. So DavidH1732 preparedH3559 abundantlyH7230 beforeH6440 his deathH4194.
Then he calledH7121 for SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, and chargedH6680 him to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, My sonH1121, as for me, it was in my mindH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430:
But the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559, Thou hast shedH8210 bloodH1818 abundantlyH7230, and hast madeH6213 greatH1419 warsH4421: thou shalt not buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto my nameH8034, because thou hast shedH8210 muchH7227 bloodH1818 upon the earthH776 in my sightH6440.
Behold, a sonH1121 shall be bornH3205 to thee, who shall be a manH376 of restH4496; and I will give him restH5117 from all his enemiesH341 round aboutH5439: for his nameH8034 shall be SolomonH8010, and I will giveH5414 peaceH7965 and quietnessH8253 unto IsraelH3478 in his daysH3117. {Solomon: that is, Peaceable}
He shall buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034; and he shall be my sonH1121, and I will be his fatherH1; and I will establishH3559 the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4438 over IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769.
Now, my sonH1121, the LORDH3068 be with thee; and prosperH6743 thou, and buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, as he hath saidH1696 of thee.
Only the LORDH3068 giveH5414 thee wisdomH7922 and understandingH998, and give thee chargeH6680 concerning IsraelH3478, that thou mayest keepH8104 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
Then shalt thou prosperH6743, if thou takest heedH8104 to fulfilH6213 the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 which the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 MosesH4872 with concerning IsraelH3478: be strongH2388, and of good courageH553; dreadH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865.
Now, behold, in my troubleH6040 I have preparedH3559 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 an hundredH3967 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and a thousandH505 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and of brassH5178 and ironH1270 without weightH4948; for it is in abundanceH7230: timberH6086 also and stoneH68 have I preparedH3559; and thou mayest addH3254 thereto. {trouble: or, poverty}
Moreover there are workmenH6213+H4399 with thee in abundanceH7230, hewersH2672 and workersH2796 of stoneH68 and timberH6086, and all manner of cunning menH2450 for every manner of workH4399. {workers…: that is, masons and carpenters}
Of the goldH2091, the silverH3701, and the brassH5178, and the ironH1270, there is no numberH4557. AriseH6965 therefore, and be doingH6213, and the LORDH3068 be with thee.
DavidH1732 also commandedH6680 all the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478 to helpH5826 SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, saying,
Is not the LORDH3068 your GodH430 with you? and hath he not given you restH5117 on every sideH5439? for he hath givenH5414 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into mine handH3027; and the landH776 is subduedH3533 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and beforeH6440 his peopleH5971.
Now setH5414 your heartH3824 and your soulH5315 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 your GodH430; ariseH6965 therefore, and buildH1129 ye the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068 GodH430, to bringH935 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and the holyH6944 vesselsH3627 of GodH430, into the houseH1004 that is to be builtH1129 to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 stood upH6965 upon his feetH7272, and saidH559, HearH8085 me, my brethrenH251, and my peopleH5971: As for me, I had in mine heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 of restH4496 for the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and for the footstoolH1916+H7272 of our GodH430, and had made readyH3559 for the buildingH1129:
But GodH430 saidH559 unto me, Thou shalt not buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, because thou hast been a manH376 of warH4421, and hast shedH8210 bloodH1818. {blood: Heb. bloods}
Howbeit the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 choseH977 me before all the houseH1004 of my fatherH1 to be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 for everH5769: for he hath chosenH977 JudahH3063 to be the rulerH5057; and of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, the houseH1004 of my fatherH1; and among the sonsH1121 of my fatherH1 he likedH7521 me to make me kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478:
And of all my sonsH1121, (for the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 me manyH7227 sonsH1121,) he hath chosenH977 SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4438 of the LORDH3068 over IsraelH3478.
And he saidH559 unto me, SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121, he shall buildH1129 my houseH1004 and my courtsH2691: for I have chosenH977 him to be my sonH1121, and I will be his fatherH1.
Moreover I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438 for everH5769, if he be constantH2388 to doH6213 my commandmentsH4687 and my judgmentsH4941, as at this dayH3117. {constant: Heb. strong}
Now therefore in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478 the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068, and in the audienceH241 of our GodH430, keepH8104 and seekH1875 for all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430: that ye may possessH3423 this goodH2896 landH776, and leave it for an inheritanceH5157 for your childrenH1121 afterH310 you forH5704 everH5769.
And thou, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045 thou the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, and serveH5647 him with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 and with a willingH2655 mindH5315: for the LORDH3068 searchethH1875 all heartsH3824, and understandethH995 all the imaginationsH3336 of the thoughtsH4284: if thou seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of thee; but if thou forsakeH5800 him, he will cast thee offH2186 for everH5703.
Take heedH7200 now; for the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 thee to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the sanctuaryH4720: be strongH2388, and doH6213 it.
Then DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 the patternH8403 of the porchH197, and of the housesH1004 thereof, and of the treasuriesH1597 thereof, and of the upper chambersH5944 thereof, and of the innerH6442 parloursH2315 thereof, and of the placeH1004 of the mercy seatH3727,
And the patternH8403 of all that he had by the spiritH7307, of the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and of all the chambersH3957 round aboutH5439, of the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and of the treasuriesH214 of the dedicated thingsH6944: {of all that…: Heb. of all that was with him}
Also for the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and for all the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for all the vesselsH3627 of serviceH5656 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
He gave of goldH2091 by weightH4948 for things of goldH2091, for all instrumentsH3627 of all manner of serviceH5656; silver also for all instrumentsH3627 of silverH3701 by weightH4948, for all instrumentsH3627 of every kind of serviceH5656:
Even the weightH4948 for the candlesticksH4501 of goldH2091, and for their lampsH5216 of goldH2091, by weightH4948 for every candlestickH4501, and for the lampsH5216 thereof: and for the candlesticksH4501 of silverH3701 by weightH4948, both for the candlestickH4501, and also for the lampsH5216 thereof, according to the useH5656 of every candlestickH4501.
And by weightH4948 he gave goldH2091 for the tablesH7979 of shewbreadH4635, for every tableH7979; and likewise silverH3701 for the tablesH7979 of silverH3701:
Also pureH2889 goldH2091 for the fleshhooksH4207, and the bowlsH4219, and the cupsH7184: and for the goldenH2091 basonsH3713 he gave gold by weightH4948 for every basonH3713; and likewise silver by weightH4948 for every basonH3713 of silverH3701:
And for the altarH4196 of incenseH7004 refinedH2212 goldH2091 by weightH4948; and goldH2091 for the patternH8403 of the chariotH4818 of the cherubimsH3742, that spread outH6566 their wings, and coveredH5526 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068.
All this, said David, the LORDH3068 made me understandH7919 in writingH3791 by his handH3027 upon me, even all the worksH4399 of this patternH8403.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, Be strongH2388 and of good courageH553, and doH6213 it: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865: for the LORDH3068 GodH430, even my GodH430, will be with thee; he will not failH7503 thee, nor forsakeH5800 thee, until thou hast finishedH3615 all the workH4399 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And, behold, the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, even they shall be with thee for all the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanshipH4399 every willingH5081 skilful manH2451, for any manner of serviceH5656: also the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 will be wholly at thy commandmentH1697.
Furthermore DavidH1732 the kingH4428 saidH559 unto all the congregationH6951, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, whom aloneH259 GodH430 hath chosenH977, is yet youngH5288 and tenderH7390, and the workH4399 is greatH1419: for the palaceH1002 is not for manH120, but for the LORDH3068 GodH430.
Now I have preparedH3559 with all my mightH3581 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430 the goldH2091 for things to be made of goldH2091, and the silverH3701 for things of silverH3701, and the brassH5178 for things of brassH5178, the ironH1270 for things of ironH1270, and woodH6086 for things of woodH6086; onyxH7718 stonesH68, and stones to be setH4394, glisteringH6320 stonesH68, and of divers coloursH7553, and all manner of preciousH3368 stonesH68, and marbleH7893 stonesH68 in abundanceH7230.
Moreover, because I have set my affectionH7521 to the houseH1004 of my GodH430, I haveH3426 of mine own proper goodH5459, of goldH2091 and silverH3701, which I have givenH5414 to the houseH1004 of my GodH430, over and aboveH4605 all that I have preparedH3559 for the holyH6944 houseH1004,
Even threeH7969 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, of the goldH2091 of OphirH211, and sevenH7651 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of refinedH2212 silverH3701, to overlayH2902 the wallsH7023 of the housesH1004 withal:
The goldH2091 for things of goldH2091, and the silverH3701 for things of silverH3701, and for all manner of workH4399 to be made by the handsH3027 of artificersH2796. And who then is willingH5068 to consecrateH4390 his serviceH3027 this dayH3117 unto the LORDH3068? {consecrate his service: Heb. fill his hand}
Then the chiefH8269 of the fathersH1 and princesH8269 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, with the rulersH8269 of the king'sH4428 workH4399, offered willinglyH5068,
And gaveH5414 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430 of goldH2091 fiveH2568 thousandH505 talentsH3603 and ten thousandH7239 dramsH150, and of silverH3701 tenH6235 thousandH505 talentsH3603, and of brassH5178 eighteenH8083+H7239 thousandH505 talentsH3603, and one hundredH3967 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of ironH1270.
And they with whom precious stonesH68 were foundH4672 gaveH5414 them to the treasureH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, by the handH3027 of JehielH3171 the GershoniteH1649.
Then the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055, for that they offered willinglyH5068, because with perfectH8003 heartH3820 they offered willinglyH5068 to the LORDH3068: and DavidH1732 the kingH4428 also rejoicedH8055 with greatH1419 joyH8057.
Wherefore DavidH1732 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 beforeH5869 all the congregationH6951: and DavidH1732 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou, LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 our fatherH1, forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769.
Thine, O LORDH3068, is the greatnessH1420, and the powerH1369, and the gloryH8597, and the victoryH5331, and the majestyH1935: for all that is in the heavenH8064 and in the earthH776 is thine; thine is the kingdomH4467, O LORDH3068, and thou art exaltedH4984 as headH7218 above all.
Both richesH6239 and honourH3519 come of theeH6440, and thou reignestH4910 over all; and in thine handH3027 is powerH3581 and mightH1369; and in thine handH3027 it is to make greatH1431, and to give strengthH2388 unto all.
Now therefore, our GodH430, we thankH3034 thee, and praiseH1984 thy gloriousH8597 nameH8034.
But who am I, and what is my peopleH5971, that we should beH6113 ableH3581 to offer so willinglyH5068 after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine ownH3027 have we givenH5414 thee. {be able: Heb. retain, or, obtain strength} {of thine…: Heb. of thine hand}
For we are strangersH1616 beforeH6440 thee, and sojournersH8453, as were all our fathersH1: our daysH3117 on the earthH776 are as a shadowH6738, and there is none abidingH4723. {abiding: Heb. expectation}
O LORDH3068 our GodH430, all this storeH1995 that we have preparedH3559 to buildH1129 thee an houseH1004 for thine holyH6944 nameH8034 cometh of thine handH3027, and is all thine own.
I knowH3045 also, my GodH430, that thou triestH974 the heartH3824, and hast pleasureH7521 in uprightnessH3476. As for me, in the uprightnessH4339 of mine heartH3824 I have willingly offeredH5068 all these things: and now have I seenH7200 with joyH8057 thy peopleH5971, which are presentH4672 here, to offer willinglyH5068 unto thee. {present: Heb. found}
Now, O LORDH3068 GodH430, let thy promiseH1697 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1 be establishedH539: for thou hast made me kingH4427 over a peopleH5971 like the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in multitudeH7227. {like…: Heb. much as the dust of the earth}
GiveH5414 me now wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093, that I may go outH3318 and come inH935 beforeH6440 this peopleH5971: for who can judgeH8199 this thy peopleH5971, that is so greatH1419?
And when AsaH609 heardH8085 these wordsH1697, and the prophecyH5016 of OdedH5752 the prophetH5030, he took courageH2388, and put awayH5674 the abominable idolsH8251 out of all the landH776 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and out of the citiesH5892 which he had takenH3920 from mountH2022 EphraimH669, and renewedH2318 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, that was beforeH6440 the porchH197 of the LORDH3068. {abominable…: Heb. abominations}
And he gatheredH6908 all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the strangersH1481 with them out of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, and out of SimeonH8095: for they fellH5307 to him out of IsraelH3478 in abundanceH7230, when they sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 his GodH430 was with him.
So they gathered themselves togetherH6908 at JerusalemH3389 in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, in the fifteenthH2568+H6240 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609.
And they offeredH2076 unto the LORDH3068 the same timeH3117, of the spoilH7998 which they had broughtH935, sevenH7651 hundredH3967 oxenH1241 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629. {the same…: Heb. in that day}
And they enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315;
That whosoever would not seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 should be put to deathH4191, whetherH4480 smallH6996 or greatH1419, whether manH376 or womanH802.
And they swareH7650 unto the LORDH3068 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, and with shoutingH8643, and with trumpetsH2689, and with cornetsH7782.
And all JudahH3063 rejoicedH8055 at the oathH7621: for they had swornH7650 with all their heartH3824, and soughtH1245 him with their whole desireH7522; and he was foundH4672 of them: and the LORDH3068 gave them restH5117 round aboutH5439.
And the LORDH3068 was with JehoshaphatH3092, because he walkedH1980 in the firstH7223 waysH1870 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732, and soughtH1875 not unto BaalimH1168; {of…: or, of his father, and of David}
But soughtH1875 to the LORD GodH430 of his fatherH1, and walkedH1980 in his commandmentsH4687, and not after the doingsH4639 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore the LORDH3068 stablishedH3559 the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027; and all JudahH3063 broughtH5414 to JehoshaphatH3092 presentsH4503; and he had richesH6239 and honourH3519 in abundanceH7230. {brought: Heb. gave}
And his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 in the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068: moreover he took awayH5493 the high placesH1116 and grovesH842 out of JudahH3063. {was…: that is, was encouraged}
Also in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 he sentH7971 to his princesH8269, even to BenhailH1134, and to ObadiahH5662, and to ZechariahH2148, and to NethaneelH5417, and to MichaiahH4322, to teachH3925 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
And with them he sent LevitesH3881, even ShemaiahH8098, and NethaniahH5418, and ZebadiahH2069, and AsahelH6214, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehonathanH3083, and AdonijahH138, and TobijahH2900, and TobadonijahH2899, LevitesH3881; and with them ElishamaH476 and JehoramH3088, priestsH3548.
And they taughtH3925 in JudahH3063, and had the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 with them, and went aboutH5437 throughout all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and taughtH3925 the peopleH5971.
And JehoshaphatH3092 dweltH3427 at JerusalemH3389: and he went outH3318 againH7725 through the peopleH5971 from BeershebaH884 to mountH2022 EphraimH669, and brought them backH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {he went…: Heb. he returned and went out}
And he setH5975 judgesH8199 in the landH776 throughout all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, cityH5892 by cityH5892,
And saidH559 to the judgesH8199, Take heedH7200 what ye doH6213: for ye judgeH8199 not for manH120, but for the LORDH3068, who is with you in the judgmentH1697+H4941. {in…: Heb. in the matter of judgment}
Wherefore now let the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 be upon you; take heedH8104 and doH6213 it: for there is no iniquityH5766 with the LORDH3068 our GodH430, nor respectH4856 of personsH6440, nor takingH4727 of giftsH7810.
Moreover in JerusalemH3389 did JehoshaphatH3092 setH5975 of the LevitesH3881, and of the priestsH3548, and of the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, for the judgmentH4941 of the LORDH3068, and for controversiesH7379, when they returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
And he chargedH6680 them, sayingH559, Thus shall ye doH6213 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068, faithfullyH530, and with a perfectH8003 heartH3824.
And what causeH7379 soever shall comeH935 to you of your brethrenH251 that dwellH3427 in their citiesH5892, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between lawH8451 and commandmentH4687, statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, ye shall even warnH2094 them that they trespassH816 not against the LORDH3068, and so wrathH7110 come upon you, and upon your brethrenH251: thisH3541 doH6213, and ye shall not trespassH816.
And thus didH6213 HezekiahH3169 throughout all JudahH3063, and wroughtH6213 that which was goodH2896 and rightH3477 and truthH571 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 his GodH430.
And in every workH4639 that he beganH2490 in the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the lawH8451, and in the commandmentsH4687, to seekH1875 his GodH430, he didH6213 it with all his heartH3824, and prosperedH6743.
And he took awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430, and the idolH5566 out of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the altarsH4196 that he had builtH1129 in the mountH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in JerusalemH3389, and castH7993 them outH2351 of the cityH5892.
And he repairedH1129 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, and sacrificedH2076 thereon peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 and thank offeringsH8426, and commandedH559 JudahH3063 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
JosiahH2977 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 oneH259 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212 in the waysH1870 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, and declinedH5493 neither to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040.
For in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, while he was yet youngH5288, he beganH2490 to seekH1875 after the GodH430 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 he beganH2490 to purgeH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 from the high placesH1116, and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541.
And they brake downH5422 the altarsH4196 of BaalimH1168 in his presenceH6440; and the imagesH2553, that were on high above themH4605, he cut downH1438; and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541, he brake in piecesH7665, and made dustH1854 of them, and strowedH2236 it uponH6440 the gravesH6913 of them that had sacrificedH2076 unto them. {the images: or, the sun images} {graves: Heb. face of the graves}
And he burntH8313 the bonesH6106 of the priestsH3548 upon their altarsH4196, and cleansedH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
And so did he in the citiesH5892 of ManassehH4519, and EphraimH669, and SimeonH8095, even unto NaphtaliH5321, with their mattocksH2719 round aboutH5439. {mattocks: or, mauls}
And when he had broken downH5422 the altarsH4196 and the grovesH842, and had beatenH3807 the graven imagesH6456 into powderH1854, and cut downH1438 all the idolsH2553 throughout all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, he returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389. {into…: Heb. to make powder}
Now in the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, when he had purgedH2891 the landH776, and the houseH1004, he sentH7971 ShaphanH8227 the sonH1121 of AzaliahH683, and MaaseiahH4641 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of JoahazH3099 the recorderH2142, to repairH2388 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430.
And when they cameH935 to HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, they deliveredH5414 the moneyH3701 that was broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of GodH430, which the LevitesH3881 that keptH8104 the doorsH5592 had gatheredH622 of the handH3027 of ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669, and of all the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478, and of all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144; and they returnedH7725+H3427 to JerusalemH3389.
And they putH5414 it in the handH3027 of the workmenH6213+H4399 that had the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and they gaveH5414 it to the workmenH6213+H4399 that wroughtH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to repairH918 and amendH2388 the houseH1004:
Even to the artificersH2796 and buildersH1129 gaveH5414 they it, to buyH7069 hewnH4274 stoneH68, and timberH6086 for couplingsH4226, and to floorH7136 the housesH1004 which the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had destroyedH7843. {to floor: or, to rafter}
And the menH582 didH6213 the workH4399 faithfullyH530: and the overseersH5329 of them were JahathH3189 and ObadiahH5662, the LevitesH3881, of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847; and ZechariahH2148 and MeshullamH4918, of the sons of the KohathitesH6956, to set it forwardH6485; and other of the LevitesH3881, all that could skillH995 of instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892.
Also they were over the bearers of burdensH5449, and were overseersH5329 of all that wroughtH6213 the workH4399 in any manner of serviceH5656: and of the LevitesH3881 there were scribesH5608, and officersH7860, and portersH7778.
And when they brought outH3318 the moneyH3701 that was brought intoH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 foundH4672 a bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 given byH3027 MosesH4872. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And HilkiahH2518 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, I have foundH4672 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And HilkiahH2518 deliveredH5414 the bookH5612 to ShaphanH8227.
And ShaphanH8227 carriedH935 the bookH5612 to the kingH4428, and broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 backH7725 again, sayingH559, All that was committedH5414 toH3027 thy servantsH5650, they doH6213 it. {to thy…: Heb. to the hand of, etc}
And they have gathered togetherH5413 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and have deliveredH5414 it into the handH3027 of the overseersH6485, and to the handH3027 of the workmenH6213+H4399. {gathered together: Heb. poured out, or, melted}
Then ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 toldH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 hath givenH5414 me a bookH5612. And ShaphanH8227 readH7121 it beforeH6440 the kingH4428. {it: Heb. in it}
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 had heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899.
And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518, and AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of MicahH4318, and ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, and AsaiahH6222 a servantH5650 of the king'sH4428, sayingH559, {Abdon: or, Achbor}
GoH3212, enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for me, and for them that are leftH7604 in IsraelH3478 and in JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 that is foundH4672: for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 that is poured outH5413 upon us, because our fathersH1 have not keptH8104 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 after all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
And HilkiahH2518, and they that the kingH4428 had appointed, wentH3212 to HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of TikvathH8616+H8445, the sonH1121 of HasrahH2641, keeperH8104 of the wardrobeH899; (now she dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 in the collegeH4932:) and they spakeH1696 to her to that effect. {Hasrah: or, Harhas, 2.kings.22.14.} {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the college: or, in the school, or, in the second part}
And she answeredH559 them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, TellH559 ye the manH376 that sentH7971 you to me,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, even all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 which they have readH7121 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063:
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999+H6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provoke me to angerH3707 with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore my wrathH2534 shall be poured outH5413 upon this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.
And as forH413 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, who sentH7971 you to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, so shall ye sayH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 concerning the wordsH1697 which thou hast heardH8085;
Because thine heartH3824 was tenderH7401, and thou didst humbleH3665 thyself beforeH6440 GodH430, when thou heardestH8085 his wordsH1697 against this placeH4725, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and humbledstH3665 thyself beforeH6440 me, and didst rendH7167 thy clothesH899, and weepH1058 beforeH6440 me; I have even heardH8085 thee also, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, I will gatherH622 thee to thy fathersH1, and thou shalt be gatheredH622 to thy graveH6913 in peaceH7965, neither shall thine eyesH5869 seeH7200 all the evilH7451 that I will bringH935 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of the same. So they broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725.
Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 and gathered togetherH622 all the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 went upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and all the peopleH5971, greatH1419 and smallH6996: and he readH7121 in their earsH241 all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the covenantH1285 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {great…: Heb. from great even to small}
And the kingH4428 stoodH5975 in his placeH5977, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to walkH3212 afterH310 the LORDH3068, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his testimoniesH5715, and his statutesH2706, with all his heartH3824, and with all his soulH5315, to performH6213 the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285 which are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
And he caused all that were presentH4672 in JerusalemH3389 and BenjaminH1144 to standH5975 to it. And the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 didH6213 according to the covenantH1285 of GodH430, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. {present: Heb. found}
And JosiahH2977 took awayH5493 all the abominationsH8441 out of all the countriesH776 that pertained to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and made all that were presentH4672 in IsraelH3478 to serveH5647, even to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 their GodH430. And all his daysH3117 they departedH5493 not from followingH310 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. {present: Heb. found} {from…: Heb. from after}
Moreover from the timeH3117 that I was appointedH6680 to be their governorH6346 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, from the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 even unto the twoH8147 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428, that is, twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141, I and my brethrenH251 have not eatenH398 the breadH3899 of the governorH6346.
But the formerH7223 governorsH6346 that had been beforeH6440 me were chargeableH3513 unto the peopleH5971, and had takenH3947 of them breadH3899 and wineH3196, besideH310 fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701; yea, evenH1571 their servantsH5288 bare ruleH7980 over the peopleH5971: but so didH6213 not I, becauseH6440 of the fearH3374 of GodH430.
Yea, also I continuedH2388 in the workH4399 of this wallH2346, neither boughtH7069 we any landH7704: and all my servantsH5288 were gatheredH6908 thither unto the workH4399.
Moreover there were at my tableH7979 an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572+H376 of the JewsH3064 and rulersH5461, beside those that cameH935 unto us from among the heathenH1471 that are about usH5439.
Now that which was preparedH6213 for me dailyH3117 was oneH259 oxH7794 and sixH8337 choiceH1305 sheepH6629; also fowlsH6833 were preparedH6213 for me, and once in tenH6235 daysH3117 storeH7235 of all sorts of wineH3196: yet for allH5973 this requiredH1245 not I the breadH3899 of the governorH6346, because the bondageH5656 was heavyH3513 upon this peopleH5971.
ThinkH2142 upon me, my GodH430, for goodH2896, according to all that I have doneH6213 for this peopleH5971.
And her merchandiseH5504 and her hireH868 shall be holinessH6944 to the LORDH3068: it shall not be treasuredH686 nor laid upH2630; for her merchandiseH5504 shall be for them that dwellH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to eatH398 sufficientlyH7654, and for durableH6266 clothingH4374. {durable: Heb. old}
And kingsH4428 shall be thy nursing fathersH539, and their queensH8282 thy nursing mothersH3243: they shall bow downH7812 to thee with their faceH639 toward the earthH776, and lick upH3897 the dustH6083 of thy feetH7272; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: for they shall not be ashamedH954 that waitH6960 for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}
Then thou shalt seeH7200+H3372, and flow togetherH5102, and thine heartH3824 shall fearH6342, and be enlargedH7337; because the abundanceH1995 of the seaH3220 shall be convertedH2015 unto thee, the forcesH2428 of the GentilesH1471 shall comeH935 unto thee. {abundance…: or, noise of the sea shall be turned toward thee} {forces: or, wealth}
The multitudeH8229 of camelsH1581 shall coverH3680 thee, the dromedariesH1070 of MidianH4080 and EphahH5891; all they from ShebaH7614 shall comeH935: they shall bringH5375 goldH2091 and incenseH3828; and they shall shew forthH1319 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068.
All the flocksH6629 of KedarH6938 shall be gathered togetherH6908 unto thee, the ramsH352 of NebaiothH5032 shall ministerH8334 unto thee: they shall come upH5927 with acceptanceH7522 on mine altarH4196, and I will glorifyH6286 the houseH1004 of my gloryH8597.
Who are these that flyH5774 as a cloudH5645, and as the dovesH3123 to their windowsH699?
Surely the islesH339 shall waitH6960 for me, and the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 firstH7223, to bringH935 thy sonsH1121 from farH7350, their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 with them, unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and to the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, because he hath glorifiedH6286 thee.
And the sonsH1121 of strangersH5236 shall build upH1129 thy wallsH2346, and their kingsH4428 shall ministerH8334 unto thee: for in my wrathH7110 I smoteH5221 thee, but in my favourH7522 have I had mercyH7355 on thee.
Therefore thy gatesH8179 shall be openH6605 continuallyH8548; they shall not be shutH5462 dayH3119 nor nightH3915; that men may bringH935 unto thee the forcesH2428 of the GentilesH1471, and that their kingsH4428 may be broughtH5090. {forces: or, wealth}
For the nationH1471 and kingdomH4467 that will not serveH5647 thee shall perishH6; yea, those nationsH1471 shall be utterlyH2717 wastedH2717.
The gloryH3519 of LebanonH3844 shall comeH935 unto thee, the fir treeH1265, the pine treeH8410, and the boxH8391 togetherH3162, to beautifyH6286 the placeH4725 of my sanctuaryH4720; and I will make the placeH4725 of my feetH7272 gloriousH3513.
The sonsH1121 also of them that afflictedH6031 thee shall comeH1980 bendingH7817 unto thee; and all they that despisedH5006 thee shall bow themselves downH7812 at the solesH3709 of thy feetH7272; and they shall callH7121 thee, The cityH5892 of the LORDH3068, The ZionH6726 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
WhereasH8478 thou hast been forsakenH5800 and hatedH8130, so that no man went throughH5674 thee, I will makeH7760 thee an eternalH5769 excellencyH1347, a joyH4885 of manyH1755 generationsH1755.
Thou shalt also suckH3243 the milkH2461 of the GentilesH1471, and shalt suckH3243 the breastH7699 of kingsH4428: and thou shalt knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 am thy SaviourH3467 and thy RedeemerH1350, the mighty OneH46 of JacobH3290.
ForG1063+G3303 DavidG1138, after he had servedG5256 his ownG2398 generationG1074 by the willG1012 of GodG2316, fell on sleepG2837, andG2532 was laidG4369 untoG4314 hisG846 fathersG3962, andG2532 sawG1492 corruptionG1312: {after…: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God}
ForG1063 I willG5111 notG3756 dareG5111 to speakG2980 of anyG5100 of those things whichG3739 ChristG5547 hathG2716 notG3756 wroughtG2716 byG1223 meG1700, to makeG1519 the GentilesG1484 obedientG5218, by wordG3056 andG2532 deedG2041,
ThroughG1722 mightyG1411 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, byG1722 the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316; soG5620 that fromG575 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 round aboutG2945 untoG3360 IllyricumG2437, IG3165 have fully preachedG4137 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 I preach the gospelG2097, IG3427 haveG2076 nothingG3756 to glory ofG2745: forG1063 necessityG318 is laid uponG1945 meG3427; yeaG1161, woeG3759 isG2076 unto meG3427, ifG3362 I preachG2097 notG3362 the gospelG2097!
ForG1063 ifG1487 I doG4238 this thingG5124 willinglyG1635, I haveG2192 a rewardG3408: butG1161 ifG1487 against my willG210, a dispensationG3622 of the gospel is committed unto meG4100.
WhatG5101 isG2076 myG3427 rewardG3408 thenG3767? Verily thatG2443, when I preach the gospelG2097, I may makeG5087 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547 without chargeG77, thatG1519 I abuseG2710 notG3361 myG3450 powerG1849 inG1722 the gospelG2098.
ForG1063 though I beG5607 freeG1658 fromG1537 allG3956 men, yet have I madeG1402 myselfG1683 servantG1402 unto allG3956, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the moreG4119.
AndG2532 unto the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 asG5613 a JewG2453, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the JewsG2453; to them that are underG5259 the lawG3551, asG5613 underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 them that are underG5259 the lawG3551;
To them that are without lawG459, asG5613 without lawG459, (beingG5607 notG3361 without lawG459 to GodG2316, butG235 under the lawG1772 to ChristG5547,) thatG2443 I might gainG2770 them that are without lawG459.
To the weakG772 became IG1096 asG5613 weakG772, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the weakG772: I am madeG1096 all thingsG3956 to allG3956 men, thatG2443 I mightG4982 by all meansG3843 saveG4982 someG5100.
AndG1161 thisG5124 I doG4160 forG1223 the gospel'sG2098 sakeG1223, thatG2443 I might beG1096 partakerG4791 thereofG846 withG4791 you.
ButG1161 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 I amG1510 whatG3739 I amG1510: andG2532 hisG846 graceG5485 which was bestowed uponG1519 meG1691 wasG1096 notG3756 in vainG2756; butG235 I labouredG2872 more abundantlyG4054 than theyG846 allG3956: yetG1161 notG3756 IG1473, butG235 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 was withG4862 meG1698.
ChargeG3853 them that are richG4145 inG1722 thisG3568 worldG165, that they beG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, norG3366 trustG1679 inG1909 uncertainG83 richesG4149, butG235 inG1722 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3588 givethG3930 usG2254 richlyG4146 all thingsG3956 toG1519 enjoyG619; {uncertain…: Gr. uncertainty of riches}
That they do goodG14, that they be richG4147 inG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041, ready to distributeG1511+G2130, willing to communicateG2843; {willing…: or, sociable}
The husbandmanG1092 that labourethG2872 must beG1163 firstG4413 partakerG3335 of the fruitsG2590. {that…: or, labouring first, must be partaker of the fruits}
ButG1161 watchG3525 thouG4771 inG1722 all thingsG3956, endure afflictionsG2553, doG4160 the workG2041 of an evangelistG2099, make full proofG4135 of thyG4675 ministryG1248. {make…: or, fulfil}
ForG1063 IG1473 amG4689 nowG2235 ready to be offeredG4689, andG2532 the timeG2540 of myG1699 departureG359 is at handG2186.
I have foughtG75 a goodG2570 fightG73, I have finishedG5055 my courseG1408, I have keptG5083 the faithG4102:
HenceforthG3063 there is laid upG606 for meG3427 a crownG4735 of righteousnessG1343, whichG3739 the LordG2962, the righteousG1342 judgeG2923, shall giveG591 meG3427 atG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250: andG1161 notG3756 to meG1698 onlyG3440, butG235 unto all themG3956 alsoG2532 that loveG25 hisG846 appearingG2015.
ThatG3704 the communicationG2842 of thyG4675 faithG4102 may becomeG1096 effectualG1756 byG1722 the acknowledgingG1922 of everyG3956 good thingG18 whichG3588 is inG1722 youG5213 inG1519 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 we haveG2192 greatG4183 joyG5485 andG2532 consolationG3874 inG1909 thyG4675 loveG26, becauseG3754 the bowelsG4698 of the saintsG40 are refreshedG373 byG1223 theeG4675, brotherG80.
BelovedG27, thou doestG4160 faithfullyG4103 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou doestG2038 toG1519 the brethrenG80, andG2532 toG1519 strangersG3581;
WhichG3739 have borne witnessG3140 of thyG4675 charityG26 beforeG1799 the churchG1577: whomG3739 if thou bring forward on their journeyG4311 afterG516 a godlyG2316 sortG516, thou shalt doG4160 wellG2573: {after…: Gr. worthy of God}
Because thatG1063 forG5228 hisG846 name'sG3686 sakeG5228 they went forthG1831, takingG2983 nothingG3367 ofG575 the GentilesG1484.
WeG2249 thereforeG3767 oughtG3784 to receiveG618 suchG5108, thatG2443 we might beG1096 fellowhelpersG4904 to the truthG225. {fellowhelpers: or, joint-labourers}
