Versliste
Now there criedH6817 a certainH259 womanH802 of the wivesH802 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 unto ElishaH477, sayingH559, Thy servantH5650 my husbandH376 is deadH4191; and thou knowestH3045 that thy servantH5650 did fearH3373 the LORDH3068: and the creditorH5383 is comeH935 to takeH3947 unto him my twoH8147 sonsH3206 to be bondmenH5650.
And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto her, What shall I doH6213 for thee? tellH5046 me, what hastH3426 thou in the houseH1004? And she saidH559, Thine handmaidH8198 hath not any thing in the houseH1004, save a potH610 of oilH8081.
Then he saidH559, GoH3212, borrowH7592 thee vesselsH3627 abroadH2351 of all thy neighboursH7934, even emptyH7386 vesselsH3627; borrow not a fewH4591. {borrow not…: or, scant not}
And when thou art come inH935, thou shalt shutH5462 the doorH1817 upon thee and upon thy sonsH1121, and shalt pour outH3332 into all those vesselsH3627, and thou shalt set asideH5265 that which is fullH4392.
So she wentH3212 from him, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 upon her and uponH1157 her sonsH1121, whoH1992 broughtH5066 the vessels to her; and she poured outH3332.
And it came to pass, when the vesselsH3627 were fullH4390, that she saidH559 unto her sonH1121, BringH5066 me yet a vesselH3627. And he saidH559 unto her, There is not a vesselH3627 more. And the oilH8081 stayedH5975.
Then she cameH935 and toldH5046 the manH376 of GodH430. And he saidH559, GoH3212, sellH4376 the oilH8081, and payH7999 thy debtH5386, and liveH2421 thou and thy childrenH1121 of the restH3498. {debt: or, creditor}
Now JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427 twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141.
And he wroughtH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; but not like his fatherH1, and like his motherH517: for he put awayH5493 the imageH4676 of BaalH1168 that his fatherH1 had madeH6213. {image: Heb. statue}
Nevertheless he cleavedH1692 unto the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, which made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398; he departedH5493 not therefrom.
And MeshaH4338 kingH4428 of MoabH4124 was a sheepmasterH5349, and renderedH7725 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 an hundredH3967 thousandH505 lambsH3733, and an hundredH3967 thousandH505 ramsH352, with the woolH6785.
But it came to pass, when AhabH256 was deadH4194, that the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 rebelledH6586 against the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And kingH4428 JehoramH3088 went outH3318 of SamariaH8111 the same timeH3117, and numberedH6485 all IsraelH3478.
And he wentH3212 and sentH7971 to JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of MoabH4124 hath rebelledH6586 against me: wilt thou goH3212 with me against MoabH4124 to battleH4421? And he saidH559, I will go upH5927: I am as thou art, my peopleH5971 as thy peopleH5971, and my horsesH5483 as thy horsesH5483.
And he saidH559, Which wayH1870 shall we go upH5927? And he answeredH559, The wayH1870 through the wildernessH4057 of EdomH123.
So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH3212, and the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and the kingH4428 of EdomH123: and they fetched a compassH5437 of sevenH7651 days'H3117 journeyH1870: and there was no waterH4325 for the hostH4264, and for the cattleH929 that followedH7272 them. {that…: Heb. at their feet}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, AlasH162! that the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 these threeH7969 kingsH4428 togetherH7121, to deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of MoabH4124!
But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not here a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068, that we may enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 by him? And oneH259 of the kingH4428 of Israel'sH3478 servantsH5650 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Here is ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202, which pouredH3332 waterH4325 on the handsH3027 of ElijahH452.
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 isH3426 with him. So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 and the kingH4428 of EdomH123 went downH3381 to him.
And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, What have I to do with thee? getH3212 thee to the prophetsH5030 of thy fatherH1, and to the prophetsH5030 of thy motherH517. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, Nay: for the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 these threeH7969 kingsH4428 togetherH7121, to deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of MoabH4124.
And ElishaH477 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, surely, were it not thatH3884 I regardH5375 the presenceH6440 of JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, I would not lookH5027 toward thee, nor seeH7200 thee.
But now bringH3947 me a minstrelH5059. And it came to pass, when the minstrelH5059 playedH5059, that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 came upon him.
And he saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, MakeH6213 this valleyH5158 full of ditchesH1356.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye shall not seeH7200 windH7307, neither shall ye seeH7200 rainH1653; yet that valleyH5158 shall be filledH4390 with waterH4325, that ye may drinkH8354, both ye, and your cattleH4735, and your beastsH929.
And this is but a light thingH7043 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he will deliverH5414 the MoabitesH4124 also into your handH3027.
And ye shall smiteH5221 every fencedH4013 cityH5892, and every choiceH4004 cityH5892, and shall fellH5307 every goodH2896 treeH6086, and stopH5640 all wellsH4599 of waterH4325, and marH3510 every goodH2896 pieceH2513 of land with stonesH68. {mar: Heb. grieve}
And it came to pass in the morningH1242, when the meat offeringH4503 was offeredH5927, that, behold, there cameH935 waterH4325 by the wayH1870 of EdomH123, and the countryH776 was filledH4390 with waterH4325.
And when all the MoabitesH4124 heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 were come upH5927 to fightH3898 against them, they gatheredH6817 all that were able to putH2296 on armourH2290, and upwardH4605, and stoodH5975 in the borderH1366. {gathered: Heb. were cried together} {put on…: Heb. gird himself with a girdle}
And they rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the sunH8121 shoneH2224 upon the waterH4325, and the MoabitesH4124 sawH7200 the waterH4325 on the other sideH5048 as redH122 as bloodH1818:
And they saidH559, This is bloodH1818: the kingsH4428 are surelyH2717 slainH2717, and they have smittenH5221 oneH376 anotherH7453: now therefore, MoabH4124, to the spoilH7998. {slain: Heb. destroyed}
And when they cameH935 to the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, the IsraelitesH3478 rose upH6965 and smoteH5221 the MoabitesH4124, so that they fledH5127 beforeH6440 them: but they went forwardH5221 smitingH5221 the MoabitesH4124, even in their country. {they went…: or, they smote in it even smiting}
And they beat downH2040 the citiesH5892, and on every goodH2896 pieceH2513 of land castH7993 every manH376 his stoneH68, and filledH4390 it; and they stoppedH5640 all the wellsH4599 of waterH4325, and felledH5307 all the goodH2896 treesH6086: only in KirharasethH7025 leftH7604 they the stonesH68 thereof; howbeit the slingersH7051 went aboutH5437 it, and smoteH5221 it. {only in…: Heb. until he left its stones in Kirharaseth}
And when the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 sawH7200 that the battleH4421 was too soreH2388 for him, he tookH3947 with him sevenH7651 hundredH3967 menH376 that drewH8025 swordsH2719, to break throughH1234 even unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123: but they couldH3201 not.
Then he tookH3947 his eldestH1060 sonH1121 that should have reignedH4427 in his stead, and offeredH5927 him for a burnt offeringH5930 upon the wallH2346. And there was greatH1419 indignationH7110 against IsraelH3478: and they departedH5265 from him, and returnedH7725 to their own landH776.
Now there criedH6817 a certainH259 womanH802 of the wivesH802 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 unto ElishaH477, sayingH559, Thy servantH5650 my husbandH376 is deadH4191; and thou knowestH3045 that thy servantH5650 did fearH3373 the LORDH3068: and the creditorH5383 is comeH935 to takeH3947 unto him my twoH8147 sonsH3206 to be bondmenH5650.
And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto her, What shall I doH6213 for thee? tellH5046 me, what hastH3426 thou in the houseH1004? And she saidH559, Thine handmaidH8198 hath not any thing in the houseH1004, save a potH610 of oilH8081.
Then he saidH559, GoH3212, borrowH7592 thee vesselsH3627 abroadH2351 of all thy neighboursH7934, even emptyH7386 vesselsH3627; borrow not a fewH4591. {borrow not…: or, scant not}
And when thou art come inH935, thou shalt shutH5462 the doorH1817 upon thee and upon thy sonsH1121, and shalt pour outH3332 into all those vesselsH3627, and thou shalt set asideH5265 that which is fullH4392.
So she wentH3212 from him, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 upon her and uponH1157 her sonsH1121, whoH1992 broughtH5066 the vessels to her; and she poured outH3332.
And it came to pass, when the vesselsH3627 were fullH4390, that she saidH559 unto her sonH1121, BringH5066 me yet a vesselH3627. And he saidH559 unto her, There is not a vesselH3627 more. And the oilH8081 stayedH5975.
Then she cameH935 and toldH5046 the manH376 of GodH430. And he saidH559, GoH3212, sellH4376 the oilH8081, and payH7999 thy debtH5386, and liveH2421 thou and thy childrenH1121 of the restH3498. {debt: or, creditor}
Now there criedH6817 a certainH259 womanH802 of the wivesH802 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 unto ElishaH477, sayingH559, Thy servantH5650 my husbandH376 is deadH4191; and thou knowestH3045 that thy servantH5650 did fearH3373 the LORDH3068: and the creditorH5383 is comeH935 to takeH3947 unto him my twoH8147 sonsH3206 to be bondmenH5650.
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. Truly GodH430 is goodH2896 to IsraelH3478, even to such as are of a cleanH1249 heartH3824. {of: or, for} {Truly: or, Yet} {of…: Heb. clean of heart}
But as for me, my feetH7272 were almostH4592 goneH5186+H5186; my stepsH838 had well nighH369 slippedH8210.
For I was enviousH7065 at the foolishH1984, when I sawH7200 the prosperityH7965 of the wickedH7563.
For there are no bandsH2784 in their deathH4194: but their strengthH193 is firmH1277. {firm: Heb. fat}
They are not in troubleH5999 as other menH582; neither are they plaguedH5060 likeH5973 other menH120. {in…: Heb. in the trouble of other men} {like: Heb. with}
Therefore prideH1346 compasseth them about as a chainH6059; violenceH2555 coverethH5848 them as a garmentH7897.
Their eyesH5869 stand outH3318 with fatnessH2459: they have moreH5674 than heartH3824 could wishH4906. {have…: Heb. pass the thoughts of the heart}
They are corruptH4167, and speakH1696 wickedlyH7451 concerning oppressionH6233: they speakH1696 loftilyH4791.
They setH8371 their mouthH6310 against the heavensH8064, and their tongueH3956 walkethH1980 through the earthH776.
Therefore his peopleH5971 returnH7725+H7725 hitherH1988: and watersH4325 of a fullH4392 cup are wrung outH4680 to them.
And they sayH559, How doth GodH410 knowH3045? and is thereH3426 knowledgeH1844 in the most HighH5945?
Behold, these are the ungodlyH7563, who prosperH7961 in the worldH5769; they increaseH7685 in richesH2428.
Verily I have cleansedH2135 my heartH3824 in vainH7385, and washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocencyH5356.
For all the dayH3117 long have I been plaguedH5060, and chastenedH8433 every morningH1242. {chastened: Heb. my chastisement was}
If I sayH559, I will speakH5608 thusH3644; behold, I should offendH898 against the generationH1755 of thy childrenH1121.
When I thoughtH2803 to knowH3045 this, it was too painfulH5999 for meH5869; {too…: Heb. labour in mine eyes}
Until I wentH935 into the sanctuaryH4720 of GodH410; then understoodH995 I their endH319.
Surely thou didst setH7896 them in slippery placesH2513: thou castedst them downH5307 into destructionH4876.
How are they brought into desolationH8047, as in a momentH7281! they are utterlyH5486 consumedH8552 with terrorsH1091.
As a dreamH2472 when one awakethH6974; so, O LordH136, when thou awakestH5782, thou shalt despiseH959 their imageH6754.
Thus my heartH3824 was grievedH2556, and I was prickedH8150 in my reinsH3629.
So foolishH1198 was I, and ignorantH3045: I was as a beastH929 before thee. {ignorant: Heb. I knew not} {before Heb. with}
Nevertheless I am continuallyH8548 with thee: thou hast holdenH270 me by my rightH3225 handH3027.
Thou shalt guideH5148 me with thy counselH6098, and afterwardH310 receiveH3947 me to gloryH3519.
Whom have I in heavenH8064 but thee? and there is none upon earthH776 that I desireH2654 beside thee.
My fleshH7607 and my heartH3824 failethH3615: but GodH430 is the strengthH6697 of my heartH3824, and my portionH2506 for everH5769. {strength: Heb. rock}
For, lo, they that are farH7369 from thee shall perishH6: thou hast destroyedH6789 all them that go a whoringH2181 from thee.
ButH589 it is goodH2896 for me to draw nearH7132 to GodH430: I have putH7896 my trustH4268 in the LordH136 GODH3069, that I may declareH5608 all thy worksH4399.
And JacobH3290 their fatherH1 saidH559 unto them, Me have ye bereavedH7921 of my children: JosephH3130 is not, and SimeonH8095 is not, and ye will takeH3947 BenjaminH1144 away: all these things are against me.
AndG1161 we knowG1492 that all thingsG3956 work togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18 to them thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316, to them who areG5607 the calledG2822 accordingG2596 to his purposeG4286.
Only rebelH4775 not ye against the LORDH3068, neither fearH3372 ye the peopleH5971 of the landH776; for they are breadH3899 for us: their defenceH6738 is departedH5493 from them, and the LORDH3068 is with us: fearH3372 them not. {defence: Heb. shadow}
And he saidH559 unto them, Out of the eaterH398 came forthH3318 meatH3978, and out of the strongH5794 came forthH3318 sweetnessH4966. And they couldH3201 not in threeH7969 daysH3117 expoundH5046 the riddleH2420.
ButG1161 withoutG5565 faithG4102 it is impossibleG102 to pleaseG2100 him: forG1063 he that comethG4334 to GodG2316 mustG1163 believeG4100 thatG3754 he isG2076, andG2532 that he isG1096 a rewarderG3406 of them that diligently seekG1567 himG846.
And this is the blessingH1293, wherewith MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430 blessedH1288 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 his deathH4194.
AsG5613 sorrowfulG3076, yetG1161 alwayG104 rejoicingG5463; asG5613 poorG4434, yetG1161 makingG4148 manyG4183 richG4148; asG5613 havingG2192 nothingG3367, andG2532 yet possessingG2722 all thingsG3956.
ForG3754 GodG2316, whoG3588 commandedG2036 the lightG5457 to shineG2989 out ofG1537 darknessG4655+G3739, hath shinedG2989 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, toG4314 give the lightG5462 of the knowledgeG1108 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 inG1722 the faceG4383 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {hath: Gr. is he who hath}
Take heedG4337 that ye doG4160 notG3361 yourG5216 almsG1654 beforeG1715 menG444, to be seenG4314+G2300 of themG846: otherwiseG1490 ye haveG2192 noG3756 rewardG3408 ofG3844 yourG5216 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772. {alms: or, righteousness} {of your: or, with your}
ThereforeG3767 whenG3752 thou doestG4160 thine almsG1654, doG4537 notG3361 sound a trumpetG4537 beforeG1715 theeG4675, asG5618 the hypocritesG5273 doG4160 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 andG2532 inG1722 the streetsG4505, thatG3704 they may have gloryG1392 ofG5259 menG444. VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, They haveG568 theirG846 rewardG3408. {do not…: or, cause not a trumpet to be sounded}
ButG1161 when thouG4675 doestG4160 almsG1654, letG1097 notG3361 thyG4675 left handG710 knowG1097 whatG5101 thyG4675 right handG1188 doethG4160:
ThatG3704 thineG4675 almsG1654 may beG5600 inG1722 secretG2927: andG2532 thyG4675 FatherG3962 whichG3588 seethG991 inG1722 secretG2927 himselfG846 shall rewardG591 theeG4671 openlyG1722+G5318.
AndG2532 whenG3752 thou prayestG4336, thou shaltG2071 notG3756 beG2071 asG5618 the hypocritesG5273 are: forG3754 they loveG5368 to prayG4336 standingG2476 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 andG2532 inG1722 the cornersG1137 of the streetsG4113, thatG3704 they mayG302 be seenG5316 of menG444. VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, They haveG568 theirG846 rewardG3408.
ButG1161 thouG4771, whenG3752 thou prayestG4336, enterG1525 intoG1519 thyG4675 closetG5009, andG2532 when thou hast shutG2808 thyG4675 doorG2374, prayG4336 to thyG4675 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 secretG2927; andG2532 thyG4675 FatherG3962 whichG3588 seethG991 inG1722 secretG2927 shall rewardG591 theeG4671 openlyG1722+G5318.
ButG1161 when ye prayG4336, useG945 notG3361 vain repetitionsG945, asG5618 the heathenG1482 do: forG1063 they thinkG1380 thatG3754 they shall be heardG1522 forG1722 theirG846 much speakingG4180.
BeG3666 notG3361 yeG3666 thereforeG3767 likeG3666 unto themG846: forG1063 yourG5216 FatherG3962 knowethG1492 what thingsG3739 ye haveG2192 need ofG5532, beforeG4253 yeG5209 askG154 himG846.
After this mannerG3779 thereforeG3767 prayG4336 yeG5210: OurG2257 FatherG3962 whichG3588 art inG1722 heavenG3772, Hallowed beG37 thyG4675 nameG3686.
ThyG4675 kingdomG932 comeG2064. ThyG4675 willG2307 be doneG1096 inG1909 earthG1093, asG2532+G5613 it is inG1722 heavenG3772.
GiveG1325 usG2254 this dayG4594 ourG2257 dailyG1967 breadG740.
AndG2532 forgiveG863 usG2254 ourG2257 debtsG3783, asG2532+G5613 weG2249 forgiveG863 ourG2257 debtorsG3781.
AndG2532 leadG1533 usG2248 notG3361 intoG1519 temptationG3986, butG235 deliverG4506 usG2248 fromG575 evilG4190: ForG3754 thineG4675 isG2076 the kingdomG932, andG2532 the powerG1411, andG2532 the gloryG1391, forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
ForG1063 ifG1437 ye forgiveG863 menG444 theirG846 trespassesG3900, yourG5216 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 will alsoG2532 forgiveG863 youG5213:
ButG1161 ifG3362 ye forgiveG863 notG3362 menG444 theirG846 trespassesG3900, neitherG3761 will yourG5216 FatherG3962 forgiveG863 yourG5216 trespassesG3900.
MoreoverG1161 whenG3752 ye fastG3522, beG1096 notG3361, asG5618 the hypocritesG5273, of a sad countenanceG4659: forG1063 they disfigureG853 theirG846 facesG4383, thatG3704 they may appearG5316 unto menG444 to fastG3522. VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, They haveG568 theirG846 rewardG3408.
ButG1161 thouG4771, when thou fastestG3522, anointG218 thineG4675 headG2776, andG2532 washG3538 thyG4675 faceG4383;
ThatG3704 thou appearG5316 notG3361 unto menG444 to fastG3522, butG235 unto thyG4675 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 secretG2927: andG2532 thyG4675 FatherG3962, whichG3588 seethG991 inG1722 secretG2927, shall rewardG591 theeG4671 openlyG1722+G5318.
Now JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427 twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141.
And he wroughtH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; but not like his fatherH1, and like his motherH517: for he put awayH5493 the imageH4676 of BaalH1168 that his fatherH1 had madeH6213. {image: Heb. statue}
Nevertheless he cleavedH1692 unto the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, which made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398; he departedH5493 not therefrom.
And MeshaH4338 kingH4428 of MoabH4124 was a sheepmasterH5349, and renderedH7725 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 an hundredH3967 thousandH505 lambsH3733, and an hundredH3967 thousandH505 ramsH352, with the woolH6785.
But it came to pass, when AhabH256 was deadH4194, that the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 rebelledH6586 against the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And kingH4428 JehoramH3088 went outH3318 of SamariaH8111 the same timeH3117, and numberedH6485 all IsraelH3478.
And he wentH3212 and sentH7971 to JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of MoabH4124 hath rebelledH6586 against me: wilt thou goH3212 with me against MoabH4124 to battleH4421? And he saidH559, I will go upH5927: I am as thou art, my peopleH5971 as thy peopleH5971, and my horsesH5483 as thy horsesH5483.
And he saidH559, Which wayH1870 shall we go upH5927? And he answeredH559, The wayH1870 through the wildernessH4057 of EdomH123.
So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH3212, and the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and the kingH4428 of EdomH123: and they fetched a compassH5437 of sevenH7651 days'H3117 journeyH1870: and there was no waterH4325 for the hostH4264, and for the cattleH929 that followedH7272 them. {that…: Heb. at their feet}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, AlasH162! that the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 these threeH7969 kingsH4428 togetherH7121, to deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of MoabH4124!
But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not here a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068, that we may enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 by him? And oneH259 of the kingH4428 of Israel'sH3478 servantsH5650 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Here is ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202, which pouredH3332 waterH4325 on the handsH3027 of ElijahH452.
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 isH3426 with him. So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 and the kingH4428 of EdomH123 went downH3381 to him.
And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, What have I to do with thee? getH3212 thee to the prophetsH5030 of thy fatherH1, and to the prophetsH5030 of thy motherH517. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, Nay: for the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 these threeH7969 kingsH4428 togetherH7121, to deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of MoabH4124.
And ElishaH477 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, surely, were it not thatH3884 I regardH5375 the presenceH6440 of JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, I would not lookH5027 toward thee, nor seeH7200 thee.
But now bringH3947 me a minstrelH5059. And it came to pass, when the minstrelH5059 playedH5059, that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 came upon him.
And he saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, MakeH6213 this valleyH5158 full of ditchesH1356.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye shall not seeH7200 windH7307, neither shall ye seeH7200 rainH1653; yet that valleyH5158 shall be filledH4390 with waterH4325, that ye may drinkH8354, both ye, and your cattleH4735, and your beastsH929.
And this is but a light thingH7043 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he will deliverH5414 the MoabitesH4124 also into your handH3027.
And ye shall smiteH5221 every fencedH4013 cityH5892, and every choiceH4004 cityH5892, and shall fellH5307 every goodH2896 treeH6086, and stopH5640 all wellsH4599 of waterH4325, and marH3510 every goodH2896 pieceH2513 of land with stonesH68. {mar: Heb. grieve}
And it came to pass in the morningH1242, when the meat offeringH4503 was offeredH5927, that, behold, there cameH935 waterH4325 by the wayH1870 of EdomH123, and the countryH776 was filledH4390 with waterH4325.
And when all the MoabitesH4124 heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 were come upH5927 to fightH3898 against them, they gatheredH6817 all that were able to putH2296 on armourH2290, and upwardH4605, and stoodH5975 in the borderH1366. {gathered: Heb. were cried together} {put on…: Heb. gird himself with a girdle}
And they rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the sunH8121 shoneH2224 upon the waterH4325, and the MoabitesH4124 sawH7200 the waterH4325 on the other sideH5048 as redH122 as bloodH1818:
And they saidH559, This is bloodH1818: the kingsH4428 are surelyH2717 slainH2717, and they have smittenH5221 oneH376 anotherH7453: now therefore, MoabH4124, to the spoilH7998. {slain: Heb. destroyed}
And when they cameH935 to the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, the IsraelitesH3478 rose upH6965 and smoteH5221 the MoabitesH4124, so that they fledH5127 beforeH6440 them: but they went forwardH5221 smitingH5221 the MoabitesH4124, even in their country. {they went…: or, they smote in it even smiting}
And they beat downH2040 the citiesH5892, and on every goodH2896 pieceH2513 of land castH7993 every manH376 his stoneH68, and filledH4390 it; and they stoppedH5640 all the wellsH4599 of waterH4325, and felledH5307 all the goodH2896 treesH6086: only in KirharasethH7025 leftH7604 they the stonesH68 thereof; howbeit the slingersH7051 went aboutH5437 it, and smoteH5221 it. {only in…: Heb. until he left its stones in Kirharaseth}
And when the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 sawH7200 that the battleH4421 was too soreH2388 for him, he tookH3947 with him sevenH7651 hundredH3967 menH376 that drewH8025 swordsH2719, to break throughH1234 even unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123: but they couldH3201 not.
Then he tookH3947 his eldestH1060 sonH1121 that should have reignedH4427 in his stead, and offeredH5927 him for a burnt offeringH5930 upon the wallH2346. And there was greatH1419 indignationH7110 against IsraelH3478: and they departedH5265 from him, and returnedH7725 to their own landH776.
And he saidH559, TakeH3947 the arrowsH2671. And he tookH3947 them. And he saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, SmiteH5221 upon the groundH776. And he smoteH5221 thriceH7969+H6471, and stayedH5975.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him in the plainsH436 of MamreH4471: and he satH3427 in the tentH168 doorH6607 in the heatH2527 of the dayH3117;
And he lift upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, lo, threeH7969 menH582 stoodH5324 by him: and when he sawH7200 them, he ranH7323 to meetH7125 them from the tentH168 doorH6607, and bowedH7812 himself toward the groundH776,
And saidH559, My LordH136, if now I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, pass not awayH5674, I pray thee, from thy servantH5650:
Let a littleH4592 waterH4325, I pray youH4994, be fetchedH3947, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and rest yourselvesH8172 under the treeH6086:
And I will fetchH3947 a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and comfort yeH5582 your heartsH3820; after thatH310 ye shall pass onH5674: for therefore are ye comeH5674 toH5921 your servantH5650. And they saidH1696, So doH6213, as thou hast saidH559. {comfort: Heb. stay} {are…: Heb. you have passed}
And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 into the tentH168 unto SarahH8283, and saidH559, Make ready quicklyH4116 threeH7969 measuresH5429 of fineH5560 mealH7058, kneadH3888 it, and makeH6213 cakesH5692 upon the hearthH6213. {Make ready…: Heb. Hasten}
And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 unto the herdH1241, and fetchtH3947 a calfH1121+H1241 tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 it unto a young manH5288; and he hastedH4116 to dressH6213 it.
And he tookH3947 butterH2529, and milkH2461, and the calfH1121+H1241 which he had dressedH6213, and setH5414 it before themH6440; and he stoodH5975 by them under the treeH6086, and they did eatH398.
And they saidH559 unto him, WhereH346 is SarahH8283 thy wifeH802? And he saidH559, Behold, in the tentH168.
And he saidH559, I will certainlyH7725 returnH7725 unto thee according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416; and, lo, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall have a sonH1121. And SarahH8283 heardH8085 it in the tentH168 doorH6607, which was behind himH310.
Now AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 were oldH2205 and well strickenH935 in ageH3117; and it ceasedH2308 to be with SarahH8283 after the mannerH734 of womenH802.
Therefore SarahH8283 laughedH6711 within herselfH7130, sayingH559, AfterH310 I am waxed oldH1086 shall I have pleasureH5730, my lordH113 being old alsoH2204?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhereforeH4100 did SarahH8283 laughH6711, sayingH559, Shall I of a suretyH552 bearH3205 a child, whichH589 am oldH2204?
IsH6381 any thingH1697 too hardH6381 for the LORDH3068? At the time appointedH4150 I will returnH7725 unto thee, according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416, and SarahH8283 shall have a sonH1121.
Then SarahH8283 deniedH3584, sayingH559, I laughedH6711 not; for she was afraidH3372. And he saidH559, NayH3808; but thou didst laughH6711.
And the menH582 rose upH6965 from thence, and lookedH8259 towardH6440 SodomH5467: and AbrahamH85 wentH1980 with them to bring them on the wayH7971.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Shall I hideH3680 from AbrahamH85 that thing whichH834 I doH6213;
Seeing that AbrahamH85 shall surely become a greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nationH1471, and all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall be blessedH1288 in him?
For I knowH3045 him, thatH834 he will commandH6680 his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 after himH310, and they shall keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941; that the LORDH3068 may bringH935 upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696 of him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Because the cryH2201 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 is greatH7227, and because their sinH2403 is veryH3966 grievousH3513;
I will go downH3381 now, and seeH7200 whether they have doneH6213 altogetherH3617 according to the cryH6818 of it, which is comeH935 unto me; and if not, I will knowH3045.
And the menH582 turned their facesH6437 from thence, and wentH3212 toward SodomH5467: but AbrahamH85 stoodH5975 yetH5750 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And AbrahamH85 drew nearH5066, and saidH559, Wilt thou also destroyH5595 the righteousH6662 withH5973 the wickedH7563?
Peradventure there beH3426 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892: wilt thou also destroyH5595 and not spareH5375 the placeH4725 forH4616 the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 that are thereinH7130?
That be farH2486 from thee to doH6213 after this mannerH1697, to slayH4191 the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563: and that the righteousH6662 should be as the wickedH7563, that be farH2486 from thee: Shall not the JudgeH8199 of all the earthH776 doH6213 rightH4941?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, If I findH4672 in SodomH5467 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892, then I will spareH5375 all the placeH4725 for their sakes.
And AbrahamH85 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136, whichH595 am but dustH6083 and ashesH665:
Peradventure there shall lackH2637 fiveH2568 of the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662: wilt thou destroyH7843 all the cityH5892 for lack of fiveH2568? And he saidH559, If I findH4672 there fortyH705 and fiveH2568, I will not destroyH7843 it.
And he spakeH1696 unto him yet againH3254, and saidH559, Peradventure there shall be fortyH705 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not doH6213 it for forty'sH705 sake.
And he saidH559 unto him, OhH4994 let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696: Peradventure there shall thirtyH7970 be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not doH6213 it, if I findH4672 thirtyH7970 there.
And he saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136: Peradventure there shall be twentyH6242 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for twenty'sH6242 sake.
And he saidH559, Oh let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696 yetH389 but this onceH6471: Peradventure tenH6235 shall be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for ten'sH6235 sake.
And the LORDH3068 went his wayH3212, as soon asH834 he had leftH3615 communingH1696 with AbrahamH85: and AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his placeH4725.
I amG1510 debtorG3781 bothG5037 to the GreeksG1672, andG2532 to the BarbariansG915; bothG5037 to the wiseG4680, andG2532 to the unwiseG453.
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 weG2249 cannotG3756+G1410 butG3361 speakG2980 the things whichG3739 we have seenG1492 andG2532 heardG191.
We havingG2192 the sameG846 spiritG4151 of faithG4102, according asG2596 it is writtenG1125, I believedG4100, and thereforeG1352 have I spokenG2980; weG2249 alsoG2532 believeG4100, andG2532 thereforeG1352 speakG2980;
This I sayG3004 thenG1161, WalkG4043 in the SpiritG4151, andG2532 ye shallG5055 notG3364 fulfilG5055 the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561. {ye…: or, fulfil not}
