BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
HisG846 motherG3384 saithG3004 unto the servantsG1249, WhatsoeverG3748+G302 he saithG3004 unto youG5213, doG4160 it.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, FillG1072 the waterpotsG5201 with waterG5204. AndG2532 they filledG1072 themG846 upG1072 toG2193 the brimG507.
And ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, who was of the inhabitantsH8453 of GileadH1568, saidH559 unto AhabH256, As the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, there shall not be dewH2919 nor rainH4306 these yearsH8141, but accordingH6310 to my wordH1697. {Elijah: Heb. Elijahu: Gr. Elias}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559,
GetH3212 thee hence, and turnH6437 thee eastwardH6924, and hideH5641 thyself by the brookH5158 CherithH3747, that is beforeH6440 JordanH3383.
And it shall be, that thou shalt drinkH8354 of the brookH5158; and I have commandedH6680 the ravensH6158 to feedH3557 thee there.
So he wentH3212 and didH6213 according unto the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: for he wentH3212 and dweltH3427 by the brookH5158 CherithH3747, that is beforeH6440 JordanH3383.
And the ravensH6158 broughtH935 him breadH3899 and fleshH1320 in the morningH1242, and breadH3899 and fleshH1320 in the eveningH6153; and he drankH8354 of the brookH5158.
And it came to pass afterH7093 a whileH3117, that the brookH5158 dried upH3001, because there had been no rainH1653 in the landH776. {after…: Heb. at the end of days}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559,
AriseH6965, getH3212 thee to ZarephathH6886, which belongeth to ZidonH6721, and dwellH3427 there: behold, I have commandedH6680 a widowH490 womanH802 there to sustainH3557 thee. {Zarephath: Gr. Sarepta}
So he aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to ZarephathH6886. And when he cameH935 to the gateH6607 of the cityH5892, behold, the widowH490 womanH802 was there gatheringH7197 of sticksH6086: and he calledH7121 to her, and saidH559, FetchH3947 me, I pray thee, a littleH4592 waterH4325 in a vesselH3627, that I may drinkH8354.
And as she was goingH3212 to fetchH3947 it, he calledH7121 to her, and saidH559, BringH3947 me, I pray thee, a morselH6595 of breadH3899 in thine handH3027.
And she saidH559, As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, I haveH3426 not a cakeH4580, but an handfulH4393+H3709 of mealH7058 in a barrelH3537, and a littleH4592 oilH8081 in a cruseH6835: and, behold, I am gatheringH7197 twoH8147 sticksH6086, that I may go inH935 and dressH6213 it for me and my sonH1121, that we may eatH398 it, and dieH4191.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto her, FearH3372 not; goH935 and doH6213 as thou hast saidH1697: but makeH6213 me thereofH8033 a littleH6996 cakeH5692 firstH7223, and bringH3318 it unto me, and afterH314 makeH6213 for thee and for thy sonH1121.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, The barrelH3537 of mealH7058 shall not wasteH3615, neither shall the cruseH6835 of oilH8081 failH2637, until the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 sendethH5414 rainH1653 uponH6440 the earthH127. {sendeth: Heb. giveth}
And she wentH3212 and didH6213 according to the sayingH1697 of ElijahH452: and she, and he, and her houseH1004, did eatH398 many daysH3117. {many…: or, a full year}
And the barrelH3537 of mealH7058 wastedH3615 not, neither did the cruseH6835 of oilH8081 failH2638, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 ElijahH452. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that the sonH1121 of the womanH802, the mistressH1172 of the houseH1004, fell sickH2470; and his sicknessH2483 was soH3966 soreH2389, that there was no breathH5397 leftH3498 in him.
And she saidH559 unto ElijahH452, What have I to do with thee, O thou manH376 of GodH430? art thou comeH935 unto me to callH2142 my sinH5771 to remembranceH2142, and to slayH4191 my sonH1121?
And he saidH559 unto her, GiveH5414 me thy sonH1121. And he tookH3947 him out of her bosomH2436, and carried him upH5927 into a loftH5944, where he abodeH3427, and laidH7901 him upon his own bedH4296.
And he criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, hast thou also brought evilH7489 upon the widowH490 with whom I sojournH1481, by slayingH4191 her sonH1121?
And he stretchedH4058 himself upon the childH3206 threeH7969 timesH6471, and criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, I pray thee, let this child'sH3206 soulH5315 comeH7725 into himH7130 againH7725. {stretched: Heb. measured} {into…: Heb. into his inward parts}
And the LORDH3068 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of ElijahH452; and the soulH5315 of the childH3206 cameH7725 into himH7130 againH7725, and he revivedH2421.
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 the childH3206, and brought him downH3381 out of the chamberH5944 into the houseH1004, and deliveredH5414 him unto his motherH517: and ElijahH452 saidH559, SeeH7200, thy sonH1121 livethH2416.
And the womanH802 saidH559 to ElijahH452, Now by thisH2088 I knowH3045 that thou art a manH376 of GodH430, and that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 in thy mouthH6310 is truthH571.
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.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
Seven timesH7651 a dayH3117 do I praiseH1984 thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, and OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, and all the kingdomsH4467 of CanaanH3667:
And the sunH8121 stood stillH1826, and the moonH3394 stayedH5975, until the peopleH1471 had avengedH5358 themselves upon their enemiesH341. Is not thisH1931 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of JasherH3477? So the sunH8121 stood stillH5975 in the midstH2677 of heavenH8064, and hastedH213 not to go downH935 about a wholeH8549 dayH3117. {Jasher: or, the upright?}
NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 madeH5648 an imageH6755 of goldH1722, whose heightH7314 was threescoreH8361 cubitsH521, and the breadthH6613 thereof sixH8353 cubitsH521: he set it upH6966 in the plainH1236 of DuraH1757, in the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895.
Then NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 sentH7972 to gather togetherH3673 the princesH324, the governorsH5460, and the captainsH6347, the judgesH148, the treasurersH1411, the counsellorsH1884, the sheriffsH8614, and allH3606 the rulersH7984 of the provincesH4083, to comeH858 to the dedicationH2597 of the imageH6755 which NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 had set upH6966.
ThenH116 the princesH324, the governorsH5460, and captainsH6347, the judgesH148, the treasurersH1411, the counsellorsH1884, the sheriffsH8614, and allH3606 the rulersH7984 of the provincesH4083, were gathered togetherH3673 unto the dedicationH2597 of the imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 had set upH6966; and they stoodH6966 beforeH6903 the imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 had set upH6966.
Then an heraldH3744 criedH7123 aloudH2429, To you it is commandedH560, O peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, {aloud: Cald. with might} {it…: Cald. they command}
That at what timeH5732 ye hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the cornetH7162, fluteH4953, harpH7030+H7030, sackbutH5443, psalteryH6460, dulcimerH5481, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musickH2170, ye fall downH5308 and worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 hath set upH6966: {dulcimer: or, singing: Cald. symphony}
And whosoH4479 fallethH5308 notH3809 downH5308 and worshippethH5457 shall the same hourH8160 be castH7412 into the midstH1459 of a burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861.
ThereforeH6903+H1836 at that timeH2166, whenH1768 allH3606 the peopleH5972 heardH8086 the soundH7032 of the cornetH7162, fluteH4953, harpH7030+H7030, sackbutH5443, psalteryH6460, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musickH2170, allH3606 the peopleH5972, the nationsH524, and the languagesH3961, fell downH5308 and worshippedH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 had set upH6966.
WhereforeH6903+H3606 at thatH1836 timeH2166 certainH1400 ChaldeansH3779 came nearH7127, and accusedH7170+H399 the JewsH3062.
They spakeH6032 and saidH560 to the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957.
ThouH607, O kingH4430, hast madeH7761 a decreeH2942, that everyH3606 manH606 that shall hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the cornetH7162, fluteH4953, harpH7030+H7030, sackbutH5443, psalteryH6460, and dulcimerH5481+H5481, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musickH2170, shall fall downH5308 and worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755:
And whosoH4479 fallethH5308 notH3809 downH5308 and worshippethH5457, that he should be castH7412 into the midstH1459 of a burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861.
There areH383 certainH1400 JewsH3062 whomH3487 thou hast setH4483 overH5922 the affairsH5673 of the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665; theseH479 menH1400, O kingH4430, haveH7761 notH3809 regardedH2942 theeH5922: they serveH6399 notH3809 thy godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 which thou hast set upH6966. {have…: Cald. have set no regard upon thee}
ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 in his rageH7266 and furyH2528 commandedH560 to bringH858 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665. ThenH116 they broughtH858 theseH479 menH1400 beforeH6925 the kingH4430.
NebuchadnezzarH5020 spakeH6032 and saidH560 unto them, Is it trueH6656, O ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, do notH3809 yeH383 serveH6399 my godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 which I have setH6966 up? {true: or, of purpose}
NowH3705 ifH2006 ye beH383 readyH6263 that at what timeH5732 ye hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the cornetH7162, fluteH4953, harpH7030+H7030, sackbutH5443, psalteryH6460, and dulcimerH5481, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musickH2170, ye fall downH5308 and worshipH5457 the imageH6755 which I have madeH5648; well: but ifH2006 ye worshipH5457 notH3809, ye shall be castH7412 the same hourH8160 into the midstH1459 of a burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861; and whoH4479 is that GodH426 that shall deliverH7804 you out ofH4481 my handsH3028?
ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, answeredH6032 and saidH560 to the kingH4430, O NebuchadnezzarH5020, weH586 are notH3809 carefulH2818 to answerH8421 thee inH5922 thisH1836 matterH6600.
IfH2006 it be so, our GodH426 whom weH586 serveH6399 isH383 ableH3202 to deliverH7804 us fromH4481 the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861, andH4481 he will deliverH7804 us out ofH4481 thine handH3028, O kingH4430.
But ifH2006 notH3809, be itH1934 knownH3046 unto thee, O kingH4430, that we willH383 notH3809 serveH6399 thy godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 which thou hast set upH6966.
ThenH116 was NebuchadnezzarH5020 fullH4391 of furyH2528, and the formH6755 of his visageH600 was changedH8133 againstH5922 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665: therefore he spakeH6032, and commandedH560 that they should heatH228 the furnaceH861 oneH2298 seven timesH7655 moreH5922 thanH1768 it was wontH2370 to be heatedH228. {full: Cald. filled}
And he commandedH560 the mostH2429 mightyH1401 menH1400 that were in his armyH2429 to bindH3729 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, and to castH7412 them into the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861. {most…: Cald. mighty of strength}
ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 were boundH3729 in their coatsH5622, their hosenH6361+H6361, and their hatsH3737, and their other garmentsH3831, and were castH7412 into the midstH1459 of the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861. {coats: or, mantles} {hats: or, turbans}
ThereforeH3606+H6903 becauseH4481+H1836 the king'sH4430 commandmentH4406 was urgentH2685, and the furnaceH861 exceedingH3493 hotH228, the flameH7631 of the fireH5135 slewH6992 thoseH479 menH1400+H1994 that took upH5267 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665. {commandment: Cald. word} {flame: or, spark}
And theseH479 threeH8532 menH1400, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, fell downH5308 boundH3729 into the midstH1459 of the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861.
ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 was astoniedH8429, and rose upH6966 in hasteH927, and spakeH6032, and saidH560 unto his counsellorsH1907, Did notH3809 we castH7412 threeH8532 menH1400 boundH3729 into the midstH1459 of the fireH5135? They answeredH6032 and saidH560 unto the kingH4430, TrueH3330, O kingH4430. {counsellors: or, governors}
He answeredH6032 and saidH560, LoH1888, IH576 seeH2370 fourH703 menH1400 looseH8271, walkingH1981 in the midstH1459 of the fireH5135, and they haveH383 noH3809 hurtH2257; and the formH7299 of the fourthH7244 is likeH1821 the SonH1247 of GodH426. {they…: Cald. there is no hurt in them}
ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 came nearH7127 to the mouthH8651 of the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861, and spakeH6032, and saidH560, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, ye servantsH5649 of the most highH5943 GodH426, come forthH5312, and comeH858 hither. ThenH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, came forthH5312 ofH4481 the midstH1459 of the fireH5135. {mouth: Cald. door}
And the princesH324, governorsH5460, and captainsH6347, and the king'sH4430 counsellorsH1907, being gathered togetherH3673, sawH2370 theseH479 menH1400, upon whose bodiesH1655 the fireH5135 had noH3809 powerH7981, norH3809 was an hairH8177 of their headH7217 singedH2761, neitherH3809 were their coatsH5622 changedH8133, norH3809 the smellH7382 of fireH5135 had passedH5709 on them.
Then NebuchadnezzarH5020 spakeH6032, and saidH560, BlessedH1289 be the GodH426 of ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, who hath sentH7972 his angelH4398, and deliveredH7804 his servantsH5649 that trustedH7365 in himH5922, and have changedH8133 the king'sH4430 wordH4406, and yieldedH3052 their bodiesH1655, that they might notH3809 serveH6399 norH3809 worshipH5457 anyH3606 godH426, exceptH3861 their own GodH426.
Therefore IH4481 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, That everyH3606 peopleH5972, nationH524, and languageH3961, which speakH560 any thing amissH7960+H7955 againstH5922 the GodH426 of ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, shall be cutH5648 in piecesH1917, and their housesH1005 shall be madeH7739 a dunghillH5122: becauseH6903+H3606 there isH383 noH3809 otherH321 GodH426 that canH3202 deliverH5338 after thisH1836 sort. {I make…: Cald. a decree is made by me} {any…: Cald. error} {cut…: Cald. made pieces}
ThenH116 the kingH4430 promotedH6744 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, in the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895. {promoted: Cald. made to prosper}
It pleasedH6925+H8232 DariusH1868 to setH6966 overH5922 the kingdomH4437 an hundredH3969 and twentyH6243 princesH324, which should beH1934 over the wholeH3606 kingdomH4437;
And overH5924 theseH4481 threeH8532 presidentsH5632; of whomH4481 DanielH1841 was firstH2298: thatH459 the princesH324 mightH1934 giveH3052 accountsH2941 unto them, and the kingH4430 should haveH1934 noH3809 damageH5142.
ThenH116 thisH1836 DanielH1841 wasH1934 preferredH5330 aboveH5922 the presidentsH5632 and princesH324, becauseH3606+H6903 an excellentH3493 spiritH7308 was in him; and the kingH4430 thoughtH6246 to setH6966 him overH5922 the wholeH3606 realmH4437.
ThenH116 the presidentsH5632 and princesH324 soughtH1934+H1156 to findH7912 occasionH5931 against DanielH1841 concerningH6655 the kingdomH4437; butH3606 they couldH3202 findH7912 noneH3809 occasionH5931 norH3809 faultH7844; forasmuchH6903 as he was faithfulH540, neitherH3809 was there anyH3606 errorH7960 or faultH7844 foundH7912 in himH5922.
ThenH116 saidH560 theseH479 menH1400, We shall notH3809 findH7912 anyH3606 occasionH5931 againstH5922 thisH1836 DanielH1841, exceptH3861 we findH7912 it against him concerning the lawH1882 of his GodH426.
ThenH116 theseH459 presidentsH5632 and princesH324 assembled togetherH7284 to the kingH4430, and saidH560 thusH3652 unto himH5922, KingH4430 DariusH1868, liveH2418 for everH5957. {assembled…: or, came tumultuously}
AllH3606 the presidentsH5632 of the kingdomH4437, the governorsH5460, and the princesH324, the counsellorsH1907, and the captainsH6347, have consulted togetherH3272 to establishH6966 a royalH4430 statuteH7010, and to make a firmH8631 decreeH633, that whosoever shall askH1156 a petitionH1159 ofH4481 anyH3606 GodH426 or manH606 forH5705 thirtyH8533 daysH3118, saveH3861 of theeH4481, O kingH4430, he shall be castH7412 into the denH1358 of lionsH744. {decree: or, interdict}
NowH3705, O kingH4430, establishH6966 the decreeH633, and signH7560 the writingH3792, that it be notH3809 changedH8133, according to the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540, which alterethH5709 notH3809. {altereth not: Cald. passeth not}
WhereforeH3606+H1836+H6903 kingH4430 DariusH1868 signedH7560 the writingH3792 and the decreeH633.
Now when DanielH1841 knewH3046 that the writingH3792 was signedH7560, he wentH5954 into his houseH1005; and his windowsH3551 being openH6606 in his chamberH5952 towardH5049 JerusalemH3390, he kneeledH1289 uponH5922 his kneesH1291 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118, and prayedH6739, and gave thanksH3029 beforeH6925 his GodH426, asH6903+H3606 he didH1934+H5648 aforetimeH4481+H1836+H6928.
ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 assembledH7284, and foundH7912 DanielH1841 prayingH1156 and making supplicationH2604 beforeH6925 his GodH426.
ThenH116 they came nearH7127, and spakeH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430 concerningH5922 the king'sH4430 decreeH633; Hast thou notH3809 signedH7560 a decreeH633, that everyH3606 manH606 that shall askH1156 a petition ofH4481 anyH3606 GodH426 or manH606 withinH5705 thirtyH8533 daysH3118, saveH3861 of theeH4481, O kingH4430, shall be castH7412 into the denH1358 of lionsH744? The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560, The thingH4406 is trueH3330, according to the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540, which alterethH5709 notH3809.
ThenH116 answeredH6032 they and saidH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, That DanielH1841, which is ofH4481 the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547 of JudahH3061, regardethH7761+H2942 notH3809 theeH5922, O kingH4430, nor the decreeH633 that thou hast signedH7560, but makethH1156 his petitionH1159 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118.
ThenH116 the kingH4430, when he heardH8086 these wordsH4406, was soreH7690 displeasedH888 with himself, and setH7761 his heartH1079 onH5922 DanielH1841 to deliverH7804 him: and he labouredH1934+H7712 tillH5705 the going downH4606 of the sunH8122 to deliverH5338 him.
ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 assembledH7284 untoH5922 the kingH4430, and saidH560 unto the kingH4430, KnowH3046, O kingH4430, that the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540 is, That noH3606 decreeH633 nor statuteH7010 which the kingH4430 establishethH6966 may be changedH8133.
ThenH116 the kingH4430 commandedH560, and they broughtH858 DanielH1841, and castH7412 him into the denH1358 of lionsH744. Now the kingH4430 spakeH6032 and saidH560 unto DanielH1841, Thy GodH426 whom thouH607 servestH6399 continuallyH8411, he will deliverH7804 thee.
And aH2298 stoneH69 was broughtH858, and laidH7761 uponH5922 the mouthH6433 of the denH1358; and the kingH4430 sealedH2857 it with his own signetH5824, and with the signetH5824 of his lordsH7261; that the purposeH6640 might notH3809 be changedH8133 concerning DanielH1841.
ThenH116 the kingH4430 wentH236 to his palaceH1965, and passed the nightH956 fastingH2908: neitherH3809 were instrumentsH1761 of musick broughtH5954 beforeH6925 him: and his sleepH8139 wentH5075 from himH5922. {instruments…: or, table}
ThenH116 the kingH4430 aroseH6966 very earlyH8238 in the morningH5053, and wentH236 in hasteH927 unto the denH1358 of lionsH744.
And when he cameH7127 to the denH1358, he criedH2200 with a lamentableH6088 voiceH7032 unto DanielH1841: and the kingH4430 spakeH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, O DanielH1841, servantH5649 of the livingH2417 GodH426, is thy GodH426, whom thou servestH6399 continuallyH8411, ableH3202 to deliverH7804 thee fromH4481 the lionsH744?
ThenH116 saidH4449 DanielH1841 untoH5974 the kingH4430, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957.
My GodH426 hath sentH7972 his angelH4398, and hath shutH5463 the lions'H744 mouthsH6433, that they have notH3809 hurtH2255 me: forasmuch asH3606+H6903 beforeH6925 him innocencyH2136 was foundH7912 in me; and alsoH638 beforeH6925 thee, O kingH4430, have I doneH5648 noH3809 hurtH2248.
ThenH116 was the kingH4430 exceedingH7690 gladH2868 for himH5922, and commandedH560 that they should takeH5267 DanielH1841 upH5267 out ofH4481 the denH1358. So DanielH1841 was taken upH5267 out ofH4481 the denH1358, and noH3809 mannerH3606 of hurtH2257 was foundH7912 upon him, because he believedH540 in his GodH426.
And the kingH4430 commandedH560, and they broughtH858 thoseH479 menH1400 which had accusedH399+H7170 DanielH1841, and they castH7412 them into the denH1358 of lionsH744, themH581, their childrenH1123, and their wivesH5389; and the lionsH744 had the masteryH5705+H7981 of them, and brakeH1855 allH3606 their bonesH1635 in piecesH1855 or everH3809 they cameH4291 at the bottomH773 of the denH1358.
ThenH116 kingH4430 DariusH1868 wroteH3790 unto allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, that dwellH1753 in allH3606 the earthH772; PeaceH8001 be multipliedH7680 unto you.
IH4481+H6925 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, That in everyH3606 dominionH7985 of my kingdomH4437 men trembleH1934+H2112 and fearH1763 beforeH4481+H6925 the GodH426 of DanielH1841: for he is the livingH2417 GodH426, and stedfastH7011 for everH5957, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255, and his dominionH7985 shall be even untoH5705 the endH5491.
He deliverethH7804 and rescuethH5338, and he workethH5648 signsH852 and wondersH8540 in heavenH8065 and in earthH772, who hath deliveredH7804 DanielH1841 fromH4481 the powerH3028 of the lionsH744. {power: Cald. hand}
So thisH1836 DanielH1841 prosperedH6744 in the reignH4437 of DariusH1868, and in the reignH4437 of CyrusH3567 the PersianH6543.
NowG1161 aboutG2596 thatG1565 timeG2540 HerodG2264 the kingG935 stretched forthG1911 his handsG5495 to vexG2559 certainG5100 ofG575 the churchG1577. {stretched…: or, began}
AndG1161 he killedG337 JamesG2385 the brotherG80 of JohnG2491 with the swordG3162.
AndG2532 because he sawG1492 itG3754 pleasedG2076+G701 the JewsG2453, he proceeded furtherG4369 to takeG4815 PeterG4074 alsoG2532. (ThenG1161 wereG2258 the daysG2250 of unleavened breadG106.)
AndG3739+G2532 when he had apprehendedG4084 him, he putG5087 him inG1519 prisonG5438, and deliveredG3860 him to fourG5064 quaternionsG5069 of soldiersG4757 to keepG5442 himG846; intendingG1014 afterG3326 EasterG3957 to bringG321 himG846 forthG321 to the peopleG2992. {Easter: Gr. Passover} {quaternions: a file of four soldiers}
PeterG4074+G3303 thereforeG3767 was keptG5083 inG1722 prisonG5438: butG1161 prayerG4335 wasG2258 madeG1096 without ceasingG1618 ofG5259 the churchG1577 untoG4314 GodG2316 forG5228 himG846. {prayer…: or, instant and earnest prayer was made}
AndG1161 whenG3753 HerodG2264 wouldG3195 have broughtG4254 himG846 forthG4254, the sameG1565 nightG3571 PeterG4074 wasG2258 sleepingG2837 betweenG3342 twoG1417 soldiersG4757, boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254: andG5037 the keepersG5441 beforeG4253 the doorG2374 keptG5083 the prisonG5438.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 came uponG2186 him, andG2532 a lightG5457 shinedG2989 inG1722 the prisonG3612: andG1161 he smoteG3960 PeterG4074 on the sideG4125, and raisedG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, Arise upG450 quicklyG1722+G5034. AndG2532 hisG846 chainsG254 fell offG1601 fromG1537 his handsG5495.
AndG5037 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, Gird thyselfG4024, andG2532 bind onG5265 thyG4675 sandalsG4547. AndG1161 soG3779 he didG4160. AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto himG846, CastG4016 thy garmentG2440 aboutG4016 theeG4675, andG2532 followG190 meG3427.
AndG2532 he went outG1831, and followedG190 himG846; andG2532 wistG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 it wasG2076 trueG227 whichG3588 was doneG1096 byG1223 the angelG32; butG1161 thoughtG1380 he sawG991 a visionG3705.
WhenG1161 they were pastG1330 the firstG4413 andG2532 the secondG1208 wardG5438, they cameG2064 untoG1909 the ironG4603 gateG4439 that leadethG5342 untoG1519 the cityG4172; whichG3748 openedG455 to themG846 of his own accordG844: andG2532 they went outG1831, and passed on throughG4281 oneG3391 streetG4505; andG2532 forthwithG2112 the angelG32 departedG868 fromG575 himG846.
AndG2532 when PeterG4074 was comeG1096 toG1722 himselfG1438, he saidG2036, NowG3568 I knowG1492 of a suretyG230, thatG3754 the LordG2962 hath sentG1821 hisG846 angelG32, andG2532 hath deliveredG1807 meG3165 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of HerodG2264, andG2532 from allG3956 the expectationG4329 of the peopleG2992 of the JewsG2453.
AndG5037 when he had consideredG4894 the thing, he cameG2064 toG1909 the houseG3614 of MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941 MarkG3138; whereG3757 manyG2425 wereG2258 gathered togetherG4867 prayingG2532+G4336.
AndG1161 as PeterG4074 knocked atG2925 the doorG2374 of the gateG4440, a damselG3814 cameG4334 to hearkenG5219, namedG3686 RhodaG4498. {to hearken: or, to ask who was there}
AndG2532 when she knewG1921 Peter'sG4074 voiceG5456, she openedG455 notG3756 the gateG4440 forG575 gladnessG5479, butG1161 ran inG1532, and told howG518 PeterG4074 stoodG2476 beforeG4253 the gateG4440.
AndG1161 they saidG2036 untoG4314 herG846, Thou art madG3105. ButG1161 she constantly affirmedG1340 that it wasG2192 even soG3779. ThenG1161 said theyG3004, It isG2076 hisG846 angelG32.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 continuedG1961 knockingG2925: andG1161 when they had openedG455 the door, and sawG1492 himG846+G2532, they were astonishedG1839.
ButG1161 he, beckoningG2678 unto themG846 with the handG5495 to hold their peaceG4601, declaredG1334 unto themG846 howG4459 the LordG2962 had broughtG1806 himG846 out ofG1537 the prisonG5438. AndG1161 he saidG2036, Go shewG518 these thingsG5023 unto JamesG2385, andG2532 to the brethrenG80. AndG2532 he departedG1831, and wentG4198 intoG1519 anotherG2087 placeG5117.
NowG1161 as soon as it wasG1096 dayG2250, there wasG2258 noG3756 smallG3641 stirG5017 amongG1722 the soldiersG4757, whatG5101+G686 was becomeG1096 of PeterG4074.
AndG1161 whenG1934 HerodG2264 had sought forG1934 himG846, andG2532 found himG2147 notG3361, he examinedG350 the keepersG5441, and commandedG2753 that they should be put to deathG520. AndG2532 he went downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 toG1519 CaesareaG2542, and there abodeG1304.
AndG1161 HerodG2264 wasG2258 highly displeasedG2371 with them of TyreG5183 andG2532 SidonG4606: butG1161 they cameG3918 with one accordG3661 toG4314 himG846, andG2532, having madeG3982 BlastusG986 the king'sG935 chamberlainG1909+G2846 their friendG3982, desiredG154 peaceG1515; becauseG1223 theirG846 countryG5561 was nourishedG5142 byG575 the king'sG937 country. {was highly…: or, bare an hostile mind, intending war} {the king's chamberlain: Gr. that was over the king's bedchamber}
AndG1161 upon a setG5002 dayG2250 HerodG2264, arrayedG1746 in royalG937 apparelG2066, satG2523 uponG1909 his throneG968, andG2532 made an orationG1215 untoG4314 themG846.
AndG1161 the peopleG1218 gave a shoutG2019, saying, It is the voiceG5456 of a godG2316, andG2532 notG3756 of a manG444.
AndG1161 immediatelyG3916 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 smoteG3960 himG846, becauseG473+G3739 he gaveG1325 notG3756 GodG2316 the gloryG1391: andG2532 he wasG1096 eaten of wormsG4662, and gave up the ghostG1634.
ButG1161 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 grewG837 andG2532 multipliedG4129.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 returnedG5290 fromG1537 JerusalemG2419, when they had fulfilledG4137 their ministryG1248, andG2532 took with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941 MarkG3138. {ministry: or, charge}
NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410 to keepG5442 youG5209+G846 from fallingG679, andG2532 to presentG2476 you faultlessG299 before the presenceG2714 of hisG846 gloryG1391 withG1722 exceeding joyG20,
ThatG2443 he might presentG3936 itG846 to himselfG1438 a gloriousG1741 churchG1577, notG3361 havingG2192 spotG4696, orG2228 wrinkleG4512, orG2228 anyG5100 such thingG5108; butG235 thatG2443 it should beG5600 holyG40 andG2532 without blemishG299.
We knowG1492 thatG3754 whosoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 sinnethG264 notG3756; butG235 he that is begottenG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 keepethG5083 himselfG1438, andG2532 that wicked oneG4190 touchethG680 himG846 notG3756.
And they shall be mine, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, in that dayH3117 when I make upH6213 my jewelsH5459; and I will spareH2550 them, as a manH376 sparethH2550 his own sonH1121 that servethH5647 him. {jewels: or, special treasure}
That whichG3739 we have seenG3708 andG2532 heardG191 declare weG518 unto youG5213, thatG2443 yeG5210 alsoG2532 may haveG2192 fellowshipG2842 withG3326 usG2257: andG2532 truly ourG2251 fellowshipG2842+G1161 is withG3326 the FatherG3962, andG2532 withG3326 hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
He that hathG2192 myG3450 commandmentsG1785, andG2532 keepethG5083 themG846, heG1565 it isG2076 that lovethG25 meG3165: andG1161 he that lovethG25 meG3165 shall be lovedG25 ofG5259 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 IG1473 will loveG25 himG846, andG2532 will manifestG1718 myselfG1683 to himG846.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1437 a manG5100 loveG25 meG3165, he will keepG5083 myG3450 wordsG3056: andG2532 myG3450 FatherG3962 will loveG25 himG846, andG2532 we will comeG2064 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 makeG4160 our abodeG3438 withG3844 himG846.
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
KnowingG1492, brethrenG80 belovedG25, yourG5216 electionG1589 ofG5259 GodG2316. {beloved…: or, beloved of God, your election}
ButG1161 they hadG2258 heardG191 onlyG3440, ThatG3754 he which persecutedG1377 usG2248 in times pastG4218 nowG3568 preachethG2097 the faithG4102 whichG3739 onceG4218 he destroyedG4199.
We are thine: thou neverH5769 barest ruleH4910 over them; they were not calledH7121 by thy nameH8034. {they…: Heb. thy name was not called upon them}
BringH935 ye all the tithesH4643 into the storehouseH214, that there may be meatH2964 in mine houseH1004, and proveH974 me now herewithH2063, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, if I will not openH6605 you the windowsH699 of heavenH8064, and pour you outH7324 a blessingH1293, that there shall not be room enoughH1767 to receive it. {pour…: Heb. empty out}
OhH3863 that thou wouldest rendH7167 the heavensH8064, that thou wouldest come downH3381, that the mountainsH2022 might flow downH2151 at thy presenceH6440,
As when the meltingH2003 fireH784 burnethH6919, the fireH784 causeth the watersH4325 to boilH1158, to make thy nameH8034 knownH3045 to thine adversariesH6862, that the nationsH1471 may trembleH7264 at thy presenceH6440! {the melting…: Heb. the fire of meltings}
When thou didstH6213 terrible thingsH3372 which we lookedH6960 not for, thou camest downH3381, the mountainsH2022 flowed downH2151 at thy presenceH6440.
For since the beginning of the worldH5769 men have not heardH8085, nor perceived by the earH238, neither hath the eyeH5869 seenH7200, O GodH430, besideH2108 thee, what he hath preparedH6213 for him that waitethH2442 for him. {seen…: or, seen a God beside thee, which doeth so for him, etc}
Thou meetestH6293 him that rejoicethH7797 and workethH6213 righteousnessH6664, those that rememberH2142 thee in thy waysH1870: behold, thou art wrothH7107; for we have sinnedH2398: in those is continuanceH5769, and we shall be savedH3467.
The ancientH2205 and honourableH6440+H5375, heH1931 is the headH7218; and the prophetH5030 that teachethH3384 liesH8267, he is the tailH2180.
AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384:
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
Far aboveG5231 allG3956 principalityG746, andG2532 powerG1849, andG2532 mightG1411, andG2532 dominionG2963, andG2532 everyG3956 nameG3686 that is namedG3687, notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 that which is to comeG3195:
AndG2532 hath putG5293 allG3956 things underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 to be the headG2776 overG5228 allG3956 things to the churchG1577,
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
