Thou shalt not sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 any bullockH7794, or sheepH7716, wherein is blemishH3971, or any evilfavourednessH7451+H1697: for that is an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. {sheep: or, goat}
If there be foundH4672 amongH7130 you, within anyH259 of thy gatesH8179 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, manH376 or womanH802, that hath wroughtH6213 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, in transgressingH5674 his covenantH1285,
And hath goneH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, either the sunH8121, or moonH3394, or any of the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, which I have not commandedH6680;
And it be toldH5046 thee, and thou hast heardH8085 of it, and enquiredH1875 diligentlyH3190, and, behold, it be trueH571, and the thingH1697 certainH3559, that such abominationH8441 is wroughtH6213 in IsraelH3478:
Then shalt thou bring forthH3318 that manH376 or that womanH802, which have committedH6213 that wickedH7451 thingH1697, unto thy gatesH8179, even that manH376 or that womanH802, and shalt stoneH5619 them with stonesH68, till they dieH4191.
At the mouthH6310 of twoH8147 witnessesH5707, or threeH7969 witnessesH5707, shall he that is worthy of deathH4191 be put to deathH4191; but at the mouthH6310 of oneH259 witnessH5707 he shall not be put to deathH4191.
The handsH3027 of the witnessesH5707 shall be firstH7223 upon him to put him to deathH4191, and afterwardH314 the handsH3027 of all the peopleH5971. So thou shalt putH1197 the evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you.
If there arise a matterH1697 too hardH6381 for thee in judgmentH4941, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between pleaH1779 and pleaH1779, and between strokeH5061 and strokeH5061, being mattersH1697 of controversyH7379 within thy gatesH8179: then shalt thou ariseH6965, and get thee upH5927 into the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977;
And thou shalt comeH935 unto the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, and unto the judgeH8199 that shall be in those daysH3117, and enquireH1875; and they shall shewH5046 thee the sentenceH1697 of judgmentH4941:
And thou shalt doH6213 according to the sentenceH6310+H1697, which they of that placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 shall shewH5046 thee; and thou shalt observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that they informH3384 thee:
According to the sentenceH6310 of the lawH8451 which they shall teachH3384 thee, and according to the judgmentH4941 which they shall tellH559 thee, thou shalt doH6213: thou shalt not declineH5493 from the sentenceH1697 which they shall shewH5046 thee, to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040.
And the manH376 that will doH6213 presumptuouslyH2087, and will not hearkenH8085 unto the priestH3548 that standethH5975 to ministerH8334 there before the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, or unto the judgeH8199, even that manH376 shall dieH4191: and thou shalt put awayH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. {and will…: Heb. not to hearken}
And all the peopleH5971 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372, and do no more presumptuouslyH2102.
When thou art comeH935 unto the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, and shalt possessH3423 it, and shalt dwellH3427 therein, and shalt sayH559, I will setH7760 a kingH4428 over me, like as all the nationsH1471 that are aboutH5439 me;
Thou shalt in any wiseH7760 setH7760 him kingH4428 over thee, whom the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977: one from amongH7130 thy brethrenH251 shalt thou setH7760 kingH4428 over thee: thou mayestH3201 not setH5414 a strangerH5237+H376 over thee, which is not thy brotherH251.
But he shall not multiplyH7235 horsesH5483 to himself, nor cause the peopleH5971 to returnH7725 to EgyptH4714, to the end that he should multiplyH7235 horsesH5483: forasmuch as the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto you, Ye shall henceforthH3254 returnH7725 no more that wayH1870.
Neither shall he multiplyH7235 wivesH802 to himself, that his heartH3824 turnH5493 not away: neither shall he greatlyH3966 multiplyH7235 to himself silverH3701 and goldH2091.
And it shall be, when he sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 him a copyH4932 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612 out of that which is beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881:
And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 therein all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416: that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, to keepH8104 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 and these statutesH2706, to doH6213 them:
That his heartH3824 be not lifted upH7311 above his brethrenH251, and that he turn not asideH5493 from the commandmentH4687, to the right handH3225, or to the leftH8040: to the end that he may prolongH748 his daysH3117 in his kingdomH4467, he, and his childrenH1121, in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478.

And thou shalt rememberH2142 all the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 ledH3212 thee these fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, to humbleH6031 thee, and to proveH5254 thee, to knowH3045 what was in thine heartH3824, whether thou wouldest keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, or no.
Ye shall not addH3254 unto the wordH1697 which I commandH6680 you, neither shall ye diminishH1639 ought from it, that ye may keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 which I commandH6680 you.
According to the sentenceH6310 of the lawH8451 which they shall teachH3384 thee, and according to the judgmentH4941 which they shall tellH559 thee, thou shalt doH6213: thou shalt not declineH5493 from the sentenceH1697 which they shall shewH5046 thee, to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 prolongethH3254 daysH3117: but the yearsH8141 of the wickedH7563 shall be shortenedH7114. {prolongeth: Heb. addeth}
And when thy herdsH1241 and thy flocksH6629 multiplyH7235, and thy silverH3701 and thy goldH2091 is multipliedH7235, and all that thou hast is multipliedH7235;
Ye shall observeH8104 to doH6213 therefore as the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath commandedH6680 you: ye shall not turn asideH5493 to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Thou hast done foolishlyH5528: thou hast not keptH8104 the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which he commandedH6680 thee: for now would the LORDH3068 have establishedH3559 thy kingdomH4467 upon IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769.
Then thine heartH3824 be lifted upH7311, and thou forgetH7911 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which brought thee forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650;
Thou shalt not eatH398 it; that it may go wellH3190 with thee, and with thy childrenH1121 afterH310 thee, when thou shalt doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
But now thy kingdomH4467 shall not continueH6965: the LORDH3068 hath soughtH1245 him a manH376 after his own heartH3824, and the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680 him to be captainH5057 over his peopleH5971, because thou hast not keptH8104 that which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 thee.
Thou hast indeedH5221 smittenH5221 EdomH123, and thine heartH3820 hath lifted thee upH5375: gloryH3513 of this, and tarryH3427 at homeH1004: for why shouldest thou meddleH1624 to thy hurtH7451, that thou shouldest fallH5307, even thou, and JudahH3063 with thee? {at home: Heb. at thy house}
ObserveH8104 and hearH8085 all these wordsH1697 which I commandH6680 thee, that it may go wellH3190 with thee, and with thy childrenH1121 afterH310 thee forH5704 everH5769, when thou doestH6213 that which is goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
Thou sayestH559, Lo, thou hast smittenH5221 the EdomitesH123; and thine heartH3820 lifteth thee upH5375 to boastH3513: abideH3427 now at homeH1004; why shouldest thou meddleH1624 to thine hurtH7451, that thou shouldest fallH5307, even thou, and JudahH3063 with thee?
What thingH1697 soever I commandH6680 you, observeH8104 to doH6213 it: thou shalt not addH3254 thereto, nor diminishH1639 from it.
Notwithstanding in thy daysH3117 I will not doH6213 it for DavidH1732 thy father'sH1 sake: but I will rendH7167 it out of the handH3027 of thy sonH1121.
But when he was strongH2393, his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 to his destructionH7843: for he transgressedH4603 against the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and wentH935 into the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 to burn incenseH6999 upon the altarH4196 of incenseH7004.
Because DavidH1732 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and turned not asideH5493 from any thing that he commandedH6680 him all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416, save only in the matterH1697 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850.
HowbeitH7535 I will not rend awayH7167 all the kingdomH4467; but will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake which I have chosenH977.
But HezekiahH3169 rendered not againH7725 according to the benefitH1576 done unto him; for his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361: therefore there was wrathH7110 upon him, and upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
Howbeit I will not takeH3947 the whole kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027: but I will makeH7896 him princeH5387 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, whom I choseH977, because he keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708:
Notwithstanding HezekiahH3169 humbledH3665 himself for the prideH1363 of his heartH3820, both he and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, so that the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 not upon them in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH3169. {pride: Heb. lifting up}
And unto his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may have a lightH5216 alwayH3117 beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 me to putH7760 my nameH8034 there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
And when he was in afflictionH6887, he besoughtH2470 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and humbledH3665 himself greatlyH3966 beforeH6440 the GodH430 of his fathersH1,
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JehuH3058, Because thou hast done wellH2895 in executingH6213 that which is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and hast doneH6213 unto the houseH1004 of AhabH256 according to all that was in mine heartH3824, thy childrenH1121 of the fourthH7243 generation shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.
His prayerH8605 also, and how God was intreatedH6279 of him, and all his sinH2403, and his trespassH4604, and the placesH4725 wherein he builtH1129 high placesH1116, and set upH5975 grovesH842 and graven imagesH6456, beforeH6440 he was humbledH3665: behold, they are writtenH3789 among the sayingsH1697 of the seersH2374+H2335. {the seers: or, Hosai}
Moreover by them is thy servantH5650 warnedH2094: and in keepingH8104 of them there is greatH7227 rewardH6118.
And humbledH3665 not himself beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, as ManassehH4519 his fatherH1 had humbledH3665 himself; but AmonH526 trespassedH819 more and moreH7235. {trespassed more and more: Heb. multiplied trespass}
If thy childrenH1121 will keepH8104 my covenantH1285 and my testimonyH5713 thatH2090+H2097 I shall teachH3925 them, their childrenH1121 shall also sitH3427 upon thy throneH3678 for evermoreH5703.
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.
For richesH2633 are not for everH5769: and doth the crownH5145 endure to everyH1755 generationH1755? {riches: Heb. strength} {to…: Heb. to generation and generation?}
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609 of DavidH1732. LORDH3068, my heartH3820 is not haughtyH1361, nor mine eyesH5869 loftyH7311: neither do I exerciseH1980 myself in great mattersH1419, or in things too highH6381 for me. {exercise…: Heb. walk} {high: Heb. wonderful}
But it shall not be wellH2896 with the wickedH7563, neither shall he prolongH748 his daysH3117, which are as a shadowH6738; because he fearethH3373 not beforeH6440 GodH430.
Surely I have behavedH7737 and quietedH1826 myselfH5315, as a child that is weanedH1580 of his motherH517: my soulH5315 is even as a weaned childH1580. {myself: Heb. my soul}
For the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall be upon every one that is proudH1343 and loftyH7311, and upon every one that is lifted upH5375; and he shall be brought lowH8213:
But when his heartH3825 was lifted upH7313, and his mindH7308 hardenedH8631 in prideH2103, he was deposedH5182 fromH4481 his kinglyH4437 throneH3764, and they tookH5709 his gloryH3367 from himH4481: {in pride: or, to deal proudly} {deposed: Cald. made to come down}
And he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 the sonsH1123 of menH606; and his heartH3825 was madeH7739 likeH5974 the beastsH2423, and his dwellingH4070 was with the wild assesH6167: they fedH2939 him with grassH6211 like oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065; tillH5705 he knewH3046 that the most highH5943 GodH426 ruledH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and that he appointethH6966 overH5922 it whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634. {his heart…: or, he made his heart equal, etc}
And thouH607 his sonH1247, O BelshazzarH1113, hast notH3809 humbledH8214 thine heartH3825, thoughH6903 thou knewestH3046 allH3606 thisH1836;
But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:
Behold, his soulH5315 which is lifted upH6075 is not uprightH3474 in him: but the justH6662 shall liveH2421 by his faithH530.
