WhoG3739 is madeG1096, notG3756 afterG2596 the lawG3551 of a carnalG4559 commandmentG1785, butG235 afterG2596 the powerG1411 of an endlessG179 lifeG2222.
And oneH376 of the same place answeredH6030 and saidH559, But who is their fatherH1? Therefore it became a proverbH4912, Is SaulH7586 also among the prophetsH5030? {of…: Heb. from thence}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, If thou returnH7725, then will I bring thee againH7725, and thou shalt standH5975 beforeH6440 me: and if thou take forthH3318 the preciousH3368 from the vileH2151, thou shalt be as my mouthH6310: let them returnH7725 unto thee; but returnH7725 not thou unto them.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SeeH7200, I have madeH5414 thee a godH430 to PharaohH6547: and AaronH175 thy brotherH251 shall be thy prophetH5030.
And there wentH3212 a manH376 of the houseH1004 of LeviH3878, and tookH3947 to wife a daughterH1323 of LeviH3878.
And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121: and when she sawH7200 him that he was a goodlyH2896 child, she hidH6845 him threeH7969 monthsH3391.
And when she couldH3201 not longerH5750 hideH6845 him, she tookH3947 for him an arkH8392 of bulrushesH1573, and daubedH2560 it with slimeH2564 and with pitchH2203, and putH7760 the childH3206 therein; and she laidH7760 it in the flagsH5488 by the river'sH2975 brinkH8193.
And his sisterH269 stoodH3320 afar offH7350, to witH3045 what would be doneH6213 to him.
And the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 came downH3381 to washH7364 herself at the riverH2975; and her maidensH5291 walkedH1980 along by the river'sH2975 sideH3027; and when she sawH7200 the arkH8392 amongH8432 the flagsH5488, she sentH7971 her maidH519 to fetchH3947 it.
And when she had openedH6605 it, she sawH7200 the childH3206: and, behold, the babeH5288 weptH1058. And she had compassionH2550 on him, and saidH559, This is one of the Hebrews'H5680 childrenH3206.
Then saidH559 his sisterH269 to Pharaoh'sH6547 daughterH1323, Shall I goH3212 and callH7121 to thee a nurseH3243 of the HebrewH5680 womenH802, that she may nurseH3243 the childH3206 for thee?
And Pharaoh'sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 to her, GoH3212. And the maidH5959 wentH3212 and calledH7121 the child'sH3206 motherH517.
And Pharaoh'sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 unto her, TakeH3212 this childH3206 awayH3212, and nurseH3243 it for me, and I will giveH5414 thee thy wagesH7939. And the womanH802 tookH3947 the childH3206, and nursedH5134 it.
And the childH3206 grewH1431, and she broughtH935 him unto Pharaoh'sH6547 daughterH1323, and he became her sonH1121. And she calledH7121 his nameH8034 MosesH4872: and she saidH559, Because I drewH4871 him out of the waterH4325. {Moses: that is, Drawn out}
And it came to pass in those daysH3117, when MosesH4872 was grownH1431, that he went outH3318 unto his brethrenH251, and lookedH7200 on their burdensH5450: and he spiedH7200 an EgyptianH4713+H376 smitingH5221 an HebrewH5680, one of his brethrenH251.
And he lookedH6437 this wayH3541 and that wayH3541, and when he sawH7200 that there was no manH376, he slewH5221 the EgyptianH4713, and hidH2934 him in the sandH2344.
And when he went outH3318 the secondH8145 dayH3117, behold, twoH8147 menH582 of the HebrewsH5680 stroveH5327 together: and he saidH559 to him that did the wrongH7563, Wherefore smitestH5221 thou thy fellowH7453?
And he saidH559, Who madeH7760 theeH376 a princeH8269 and a judgeH8199 over us? intendestH559 thou to killH2026 me, as thou killedstH2026 the EgyptianH4713? And MosesH4872 fearedH3372, and saidH559, SurelyH403 this thingH1697 is knownH3045. {a prince: Heb. a man, a prince}
Now when PharaohH6547 heardH8085 this thingH1697, he soughtH1245 to slayH2026 MosesH4872. But MosesH4872 fledH1272 from the faceH6440 of PharaohH6547, and dweltH3427 in the landH776 of MidianH4080: and he sat downH3427 by a wellH875.
Now the priestH3548 of MidianH4080 had sevenH7651 daughtersH1323: and they cameH935 and drewH1802 water, and filledH4390 the troughsH7298 to waterH8248 their father'sH1 flockH6629. {priest: or, prince}
And the shepherdsH7462 cameH935 and drove them awayH1644: but MosesH4872 stood upH6965 and helpedH3467 them, and wateredH8248 their flockH6629.
And when they cameH935 to ReuelH7467 their fatherH1, he saidH559, HowH4069 is it that ye are comeH935 so soonH4116 to dayH3117? {Reuel: called also Jethro, or, Jether}
And they saidH559, An EgyptianH4713+H376 deliveredH5337 us out of the handH3027 of the shepherdsH7462, and also drewH1802 water enoughH1802 for us, and wateredH8248 the flockH6629.
And he saidH559 unto his daughtersH1323, And where is he? why is it that ye have leftH5800 the manH376? callH7121 him, that he may eatH398 breadH3899.
And MosesH4872 was contentH2974 to dwellH3427 with the manH376: and he gaveH5414 MosesH4872 ZipporahH6855 his daughterH1323.
And she bareH3205 him a sonH1121, and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 GershomH1647: for he saidH559, I have been a strangerH1616 in a strangeH5237 landH776. {Gershom: that is, A stranger here}
And it came to pass in processH1992+H7227 of timeH3117, that the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 diedH4191: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sighedH584 by reason ofH4480 the bondageH5656, and they criedH2199, and their cryH7775 came upH5927 unto GodH430 by reason of the bondageH5656.
And GodH430 heardH8085 their groaningH5009, and GodH430 rememberedH2142 his covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85, with IsaacH3327, and with JacobH3290.
And GodH430 lookedH7200 upon the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and GodH430 had respectH3045 unto them. {had…: Heb. knew}
And thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, and putH7760 wordsH1697 in his mouthH6310: and I will be with thy mouthH6310, and with his mouthH6310, and will teachH3384 you what ye shall doH6213.
And they took their journeyH5265 from ElimH362, and all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 unto the wildernessH4057 of SinH5512, which is between ElimH362 and SinaiH5514, on the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the secondH8145 monthH2320 after their departing outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 murmuredH3885 against MosesH4872 and AaronH175 in the wildernessH4057:
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto them, Would to GodH4310+H5414 we had diedH4191 by the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when we satH3427 by the fleshH1320 potsH5518, and when we did eatH398 breadH3899 to the fullH7648; for ye have brought us forthH3318 into this wildernessH4057, to killH4191 this whole assemblyH6951 with hungerH7458.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto MosesH4872, Behold, I will rainH4305 breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for you; and the peopleH5971 shall go outH3318 and gatherH3950 a certain rateH1697 every dayH3117+H3117, that I may proveH5254 them, whether they will walkH3212 in my lawH8451, or no. {a certain…: Heb. the portion of a day in his day}
And it shall come to pass, that on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 they shall prepareH3559 that whichH834 they bring inH935; and it shall be twiceH4932 as much as they gatherH3950 dailyH3117+H3117.
And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 saidH559 unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, At evenH6153, then ye shall knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath brought you outH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
And in the morningH1242, then ye shall seeH7200 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068; for that he hearethH8085 your murmuringsH8519 against the LORDH3068: and what are weH5168, that ye murmurH3885+H3885 against us?
And MosesH4872 saidH559, This shall be, when the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 you in the eveningH6153 fleshH1320 to eatH398, and in the morningH1242 breadH3899 to the fullH7646; for that the LORDH3068 hearethH8085 your murmuringsH8519 which ye murmurH3885 against him: and what are weH5168? your murmuringsH8519 are not against us, but against the LORDH3068.
And MosesH4872 spakeH559 unto AaronH175, SayH559 unto all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Come nearH7126 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: for he hath heardH8085 your murmuringsH8519.
And it came to pass, as AaronH175 spakeH1696 unto the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they lookedH6437 toward the wildernessH4057, and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 in the cloudH6051.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
I have heardH8085 the murmuringsH8519 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: speakH1696 unto them, sayingH559, At evenH996+H6153 ye shall eatH398 fleshH1320, and in the morningH1242 ye shall be filledH7646 with breadH3899; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And it came to pass, that at evenH6153 the quailsH7958 came upH5927, and coveredH3680 the campH4264: and in the morningH1242 the dewH2919 layH7902 round aboutH5439 the hostH4264.
And when the dewH2919 that layH7902 was gone upH5927, behold, upon the faceH6440 of the wildernessH4057 there lay a smallH1851 round thingH2636, as smallH1851 as the hoar frostH3713 on the groundH776.
And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 it, they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, It is mannaH4478: for they wistH3045 not what it was. And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, This is the breadH3899 which the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you to eatH402. {It is…: or, What is this? or, It is a portion}
This is the thingH1697 whichH834 the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680, GatherH3950 of it every manH376 accordingH6310 to his eatingH400, an omerH6016 for every manH1538, according to the numberH4557 of your personsH5315; takeH3947 ye every manH376 for them which are in his tentsH168. {for every…: Heb. by the poll, or, head} {persons: Heb. souls}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 so, and gatheredH3950, some moreH7235, some lessH4591.
And when they did meteH4058 it with an omerH6016, he that gathered muchH7235 had nothing overH5736, and he that gathered littleH4591 had no lackH2637; they gatheredH3950 every manH376 accordingH6310 to his eatingH400.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, Let no manH376 leaveH3498 of it till the morningH1242.
Notwithstanding they hearkenedH8085 not unto MosesH4872; but someH582 of them leftH3498 of it until the morningH1242, and it bredH7311 wormsH8438, and stankH887: and MosesH4872 was wrothH7107 with them.
And they gatheredH3950 it every morningH1242, every manH376 accordingH6310 to his eatingH400: and when the sunH8121 waxed hotH2552, it meltedH4549.
And it came to pass, that on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 they gatheredH3950 twiceH4932 as much breadH3899, twoH8147 omersH6016 for oneH259 man: and all the rulersH5387 of the congregationH5712 cameH935 and toldH5046 MosesH4872.
And he saidH559 unto them, This is that which the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696, To morrowH4279 is the restH7677 of the holyH6944 sabbathH7676 unto the LORDH3068: bakeH644 that which ye will bakeH644 to day, and seetheH1310 that ye will seetheH1310; and that whichH3605 remaineth overH5736 lay upH3240 for you to be keptH4931 until the morningH1242.
And they laid it upH3240 till the morningH1242, as MosesH4872 badeH6680: and it did not stinkH887, neither was there any wormH7415 therein.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, EatH398 that to dayH3117; for to dayH3117 is a sabbathH7676 unto the LORDH3068: to dayH3117 ye shall not findH4672 it in the fieldH7704.
SixH8337 daysH3117 ye shall gatherH3950 it; but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, which is the sabbathH7676, in it there shall be none.
And it came to pass, that there went outH3318 some of the peopleH5971 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 for to gatherH3950, and they foundH4672 none.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, How long refuseH3985 ye to keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my lawsH8451?
SeeH7200, for that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you the sabbathH7676, therefore he givethH5414 you on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 the breadH3899 of two daysH3117; abideH3427 ye every manH376 in his place, let no manH376 go outH3318 of his placeH4725 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117.
So the peopleH5971 restedH7673 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117.
And the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof MannaH4478: and it was like corianderH1407 seedH2233, whiteH3836; and the tasteH2940 of it was like wafersH6838 made with honeyH1706.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, This is the thingH1697 which the LORDH3068 commandethH6680, FillH4393 an omerH6016 of it to be keptH4931 for your generationsH1755; that they may seeH7200 the breadH3899 wherewith I have fedH398 you in the wildernessH4057, when I brought you forthH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, TakeH3947 aH259 potH6803, and putH5414 an omerH6016 fullH4393 of mannaH4478 therein, and lay it upH3240 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to be keptH4931 for your generationsH1755.
As the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872, so AaronH175 laid it upH3240 beforeH6440 the TestimonyH5715, to be keptH4931.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did eatH398 mannaH4478 fortyH705 yearsH8141, until they cameH935 to a landH776 inhabitedH3427; they did eatH398 mannaH4478, until they cameH935 unto the bordersH7097 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
Now an omerH6016 is the tenthH6224 part of an ephahH374.
ForG1063 the prophecyG4394 cameG5342 notG3756 in old timeG4218 by the willG2307 of manG444: butG235 holyG40 menG444 of GodG2316 spakeG2980 as they were movedG5342 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {in old time: or, at any time}
I will raise them upH6965 a ProphetH5030 from amongH7130 their brethrenH251, like unto thee, and will putH5414 my wordsH1697 in his mouthH6310; and he shall speakH1696 unto them all that I shall commandH6680 him.
Then the LORDH3068 put forthH7971 his handH3027, and touchedH5060 my mouthH6310. And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Behold, I have putH5414 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310.
The SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 by me, and his wordH4405 was in my tongueH3956.
Thou art fairerH3302 than the childrenH1121 of menH120: graceH2580 is pouredH3332 into thy lipsH8193: therefore GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee for everH5769.
If any manG1536 speakG2980, let him speak asG5613 the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316; if any manG1536 ministerG1247, let him do it asG5613 ofG1537 the abilityG2479 whichG3739 GodG2316 givethG5524: thatG2443 GodG2316 inG1722 all thingsG3956 may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to whomG3739 beG2076 praiseG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
Now the actsH1697 of DavidH1732 the kingH4428, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of SamuelH8050 the seerH7200, and in the bookH1697 of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and in the bookH1697 of GadH1410 the seerH2374, {book: or, history: Heb. words}
Which sayH559 to the seersH7200, SeeH7200 not; and to the prophetsH2374, ProphesyH2372 not unto us right thingsH5229, speakH1696 unto us smooth thingsH2513, prophesyH2372 deceitsH4123:
The visionH2377 of IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, which he sawH2372 concerning JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818, JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH3169, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063.
I knewG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 agoG4253, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492; or whetherG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;) such an oneG5108 caught upG726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772.
Do we beginG756 againG3825 to commendG4921 ourselvesG1438? orG1508 need weG5535, asG5613 someG5100 others, epistlesG1992 of commendationG4956 toG4314 youG5209, orG2228 letters of commendationG4956 fromG1537 youG5216?
YeG5210 areG2075 ourG2257 epistleG1992 writtenG1449 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, knownG1097 andG2532 readG314 ofG5259 allG3956 menG444:
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declaredG5319 toG3754 beG2075 the epistleG1992 of ChristG5547 ministeredG1247 byG5259 usG2257, writtenG1449 notG3756 with inkG3188, butG235 with the SpiritG4151 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; notG3756 inG1722 tablesG4109 of stoneG3035, butG235 inG1722 fleshyG4560 tablesG4109 of the heartG2588.
AndG1161 suchG5108 trustG4006 have weG2192 throughG1223 ChristG5547 toG4314 God-wardG2316:
NotG3756 thatG3754 we areG2070 sufficientG2425 ofG575 ourselvesG1438 to thinkG3049 any thingG5100 asG5613 ofG1537 ourselvesG1438; butG235 ourG2257 sufficiencyG2426 is ofG1537 GodG2316;
WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG2248 ableG2427 ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testamentG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG615, butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227. {giveth life: or, quickeneth}
ButG1161 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of deathG2288, writtenG1722+G1121 and engravenG1795 inG1722 stonesG3037, wasG1096 gloriousG1722+G1391, soG5620 that the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410 notG3361 stedfastly beholdG816 the faceG1519+G4383 of MosesG3475 forG1223 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 countenanceG4383; whichG3588 glory was to be done awayG2673:
HowG4459 shallG1248 notG3780 the ministrationG1248 of the spiritG4151 beG2071 ratherG3123+G1722 gloriousG1391?
ForG1063 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of condemnationG2633 be gloryG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 doth the ministrationG1248 of righteousnessG1343 exceedG4052 inG1722 gloryG1391.
ForG1063 evenG2532 that which was made gloriousG1392 had noG3761 gloryG1392 inG1722 thisG5129 respectG3313, by reasonG1752 of the gloryG1391 that excellethG5235.
ForG1063 ifG1487 that which is done awayG2673 was gloriousG1223+G1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 that which remainethG3306 is gloriousG1722+G1391.
Seeing thenG3767 that we haveG2192 suchG5108 hopeG1680, we useG5530 greatG4183 plainness of speechG3954: {plainness: or, boldness}
AndG2532 notG3756 asG2509 MosesG3475, which putG5087 a vailG2571 overG1909 hisG1438 faceG4383, thatG4314 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG816 notG3361 stedfastly lookG816 toG1519 the endG5056 of that which is abolishedG2673:
ButG235 theirG846 mindsG3540 were blindedG4456: forG1063 untilG891 this dayG4594 remainethG3306 the sameG846 vailG2571 untakenG3361 awayG343 inG1909 the readingG320 of the oldG3820 testamentG1242; whichG3748 vail is done awayG2673 inG1722 ChristG5547.
ButG235 evenG2193 unto this dayG4594, whenG2259 MosesG3475 is readG314, the vailG2571 is uponG2749+G1909 theirG846 heartG2588.
NeverthelessG1161 whenG2259 itG302 shall turnG1994 toG4314 the LordG2962, the vailG2571 shall be taken awayG4014.
NowG1161 the LordG2962 isG2076 that SpiritG4151: andG1161 whereG3757 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is, thereG1563 is libertyG1657.
ButG1161 weG2249 allG3956, with openG343 faceG4383 beholding as in a glassG2734 the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962, are changedG3339 into the sameG846 imageG1504 fromG575 gloryG1391 toG1519 gloryG1391, even asG2509 byG575 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962. {by the…: or, of the Lord the Spirit}
I wasG1096 inG1722 the SpiritG4151 onG1722 the Lord'sG2960 dayG2250, andG2532 heardG191 behindG3694 meG3450 a greatG3173 voiceG5456, asG5613 of a trumpetG4536,
With him will I speakH1696 mouthH6310 to mouthH6310, even apparentlyH4758, and not in dark speechesH2420; and the similitudeH8544 of the LORDH3068 shall he beholdH5027: wherefore then were ye not afraidH3372 to speakH1696 against my servantH5650 MosesH4872?
Now MosesH4872 keptH1961+H7462 the flockH6629 of JethroH3503 his father in lawH2859, the priestH3548 of MidianH4080: and he ledH5090 the flockH6629 to the backsideH310 of the desertH4057, and cameH935 to the mountainH2022 of GodH430, even to HorebH2722.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him in a flameH3827 of fireH784 out of the midstH8432 of a bushH5572: and he lookedH7200, and, behold, the bushH5572 burnedH1197 with fireH784, and the bushH5572 was not consumedH398.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, I will now turn asideH5493, and seeH7200 this greatH1419 sightH4758, whyH4069 the bushH5572 is not burntH1197.
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 that he turned asideH5493 to seeH7200, GodH430 calledH7121 unto him out of the midstH8432 of the bushH5572, and saidH559, MosesH4872, MosesH4872. And he saidH559, Here am I.
And he saidH559, Draw not nighH7126 hitherH1988: put offH5394 thy shoesH5275 from off thy feetH7272, for the placeH4725 whereonH834 thou standestH5975 is holyH6944 groundH127.
Moreover he saidH559, I am the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290. And MosesH4872 hidH5641 his faceH6440; for he was afraidH3372 to lookH5027 upon GodH430.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I have surelyH7200 seenH7200 the afflictionH6040 of my peopleH5971 which are in EgyptH4714, and have heardH8085 their cryH6818 by reasonH6440 of their taskmastersH5065; for I knowH3045 their sorrowsH4341;
And I am come downH3381 to deliverH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and to bringH5927 them up out of that landH776 unto a goodH2896 landH776 and a largeH7342, unto a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; unto the placeH4725 of the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983.
Now therefore, behold, the cryH6818 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 is comeH935 unto me: and I have also seenH7200 the oppressionH3906 wherewith the EgyptiansH4714 oppressH3905 them.
ComeH3212 now therefore, and I will sendH7971 thee unto PharaohH6547, that thou mayest bring forthH3318 my peopleH5971 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto GodH430, Who am I, that I should goH3212 unto PharaohH6547, and that I should bring forthH3318 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714?
And he saidH559, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a tokenH226 unto thee, thatH3588 I have sentH7971 thee: When thou hast brought forthH3318 the peopleH5971 out of EgyptH4714, ye shall serveH5647 GodH430 upon this mountainH2022.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto GodH430, Behold, when I comeH935 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and shall sayH559 unto them, The GodH430 of your fathersH1 hath sentH7971 me unto you; and they shall sayH559 to me, What is his nameH8034? what shall I sayH559 unto them?
And GodH430 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I AMH1961 THAT I AMH1961: and he saidH559, Thus shalt thou sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, I AM hath sentH7971 me unto you.
And GodH430 saidH559 moreoverH5750 unto MosesH4872, Thus shalt thou sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, The LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290, hath sentH7971 me unto you: this is my nameH8034 for everH5769, and this is my memorialH2143 unto allH1755 generationsH1755.
GoH3212, and gatherH622 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 togetherH622, and sayH559 unto them, The LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, of IsaacH3327, and of JacobH3290, appearedH7200 unto me, sayingH559, I have surelyH6485 visitedH6485 you, and seen that which is doneH6213 to you in EgyptH4714:
And I have saidH559, I will bringH5927 you up out of the afflictionH6040 of EgyptH4714 unto the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983, unto a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
And they shall hearkenH8085 to thy voiceH6963: and thou shalt comeH935, thou and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, unto the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and ye shall sayH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 GodH430 of the HebrewsH5680 hath metH7136 with us: and now let us goH3212, we beseech thee, threeH7969 days'H3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, that we may sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
And I am sureH3045 that the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 will not letH5414 you goH1980, no, not by a mightyH2389 handH3027. {no…: or, but by strong hand}
And I will stretch outH7971 my handH3027, and smiteH5221 EgyptH4714 with all my wondersH6381 which I will doH6213 in the midstH7130 thereof: and afterH310 that he will let you goH7971.
And I will giveH5414 this peopleH5971 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of the EgyptiansH4714: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye goH3212, ye shall not goH3212 emptyH7387:
But every womanH802 shall borrowH7592 of her neighbourH7934, and of her that sojournethH1481 in her houseH1004, jewelsH3627 of silverH3701, and jewelsH3627 of goldH2091, and raimentH8071: and ye shall putH7760 them upon your sonsH1121, and upon your daughtersH1323; and ye shall spoilH5337 the EgyptiansH4714. {the Egyptians: or, Egypt}
And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 ministeredH8334 unto the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 EliH5941. And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 was preciousH3368 in those daysH3117; there was no openH6555 visionH2377.
And it came to pass at that timeH3117, when EliH5941 was laid downH7901 in his placeH4725, and his eyesH5869 beganH2490 to wax dimH3544, that he couldH3201 not seeH7200;
And ere the lampH5216 of GodH430 went outH3518 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, where the arkH727 of GodH430 was, and SamuelH8050 was laid downH7901 to sleep;
That the LORDH3068 calledH7121 SamuelH8050: and he answeredH559, Here am I.
And he ranH7323 unto EliH5941, and saidH559, Here am IH2009; for thou calledstH7121 me. And he saidH559, I calledH7121 not; lie downH7901 againH7725. And he wentH3212 and lay downH7901.
And the LORDH3068 calledH7121 yet againH3254, SamuelH8050. And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to EliH5941, and saidH559, Here am I; for thou didst callH7121 me. And he answeredH559, I calledH7121 not, my sonH1121; lie downH7901 againH7725.
Now SamuelH8050 did not yetH2962 knowH3045 the LORDH3068, neither was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 yet revealedH1540 unto him. {Now…: or, Thus did Samuel before he knew the LORD, and before the word of the LORD was revealed unto him}
And the LORDH3068 calledH7121 SamuelH8050 againH3254 the third timeH7992. And he aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to EliH5941, and saidH559, Here am I; for thou didst callH7121 me. And EliH5941 perceivedH995 that the LORDH3068 had calledH7121 the childH5288.
Therefore EliH5941 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, GoH3212, lie downH7901: and it shall be, if he callH7121 thee, that thou shalt sayH559, SpeakH1696, LORDH3068; for thy servantH5650 hearethH8085. So SamuelH8050 wentH3212 and lay downH7901 in his placeH4725.
And the LORDH3068 cameH935, and stoodH3320, and calledH7121 as at other timesH6471, SamuelH8050, SamuelH8050. Then SamuelH8050 answeredH559, SpeakH1696; for thy servantH5650 hearethH8085.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, Behold, I will doH6213 a thingH1697 in IsraelH3478, at which bothH8147 the earsH241 of every one that hearethH8085 it shall tingleH6750.
In that dayH3117 I will performH6965 against EliH5941 all things which I have spokenH1696 concerningH413 his houseH1004: when I beginH2490, I will also make an endH3615. {when…: Heb. beginning and ending}
For I have toldH5046 him that I will judgeH8199 his houseH1004 forH5704 everH5769 for the iniquityH5771 which he knowethH3045; because his sonsH1121 made themselves vileH7043, and he restrainedH3543 them not. {For I…: or, And I will tell him} {vile: or, accursed} {restrained…: Heb. frowned not upon them}
And therefore I have swornH7650 unto the houseH1004 of EliH5941, that the iniquityH5771 of Eli'sH5941 houseH1004 shall not be purgedH3722 with sacrificeH2077 nor offeringH4503 forH5704 everH5769.
And SamuelH8050 layH7901 until the morningH1242, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And SamuelH8050 fearedH3372 to shewH5046 EliH5941 the visionH4759.
Then EliH5941 calledH7121 SamuelH8050, and saidH559, SamuelH8050, my sonH1121. And he answeredH559, Here am I.
And he saidH559, What is the thingH1697 that the LORD hath saidH1696 unto thee? I pray thee hideH3582 it not from me: GodH430 do soH6213 to thee, and more alsoH3254, if thou hideH3582 any thingH1697 from me of all the thingsH1697 that he saidH1696 unto thee. {more also: Hebr. so add} {any thing: or, word}
And SamuelH8050 toldH5046 him every whitH1697, and hidH3582 nothing from him. And he saidH559, It is the LORDH3068: let him doH6213 what seemethH5869 him goodH2896. {every…: Heb. all the things, or, words}
And SamuelH8050 grewH1431, and the LORDH3068 was with him, and did let none of his wordsH1697 fallH5307 to the groundH776.
And all IsraelH3478 from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884 knewH3045 that SamuelH8050 was establishedH539 to be a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068. {established: or, faithful}
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 againH3254 in ShilohH7887: for the LORDH3068 revealedH1540 himself to SamuelH8050 in ShilohH7887 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And thisH1836 is the writingH3792 that was writtenH7560, MENEH4484, MENEH4484, TEKELH8625, UPHARSINH6537.
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 wasG1096 inG1722 the SpiritG4151 onG1722 the Lord'sG2960 dayG2250, andG2532 heardG191 behindG3694 meG3450 a greatG3173 voiceG5456, asG5613 of a trumpetG4536,
And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 hath saidH5002, and the manH1397 whose eyesH5869 are openH8365 hath saidH5002: {whose…: Heb. who had his eyes shut, but now opened}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When ye be comeH935 into the landH776 of your habitationsH4186, which I giveH5414 unto you,
And will makeH6213 an offering by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068, a burnt offeringH5930, or a sacrificeH2077 in performingH6381 a vowH5088, or in a freewill offeringH5071, or in your solemn feastsH4150, to makeH6213 a sweetH5207 savourH7381 unto the LORDH3068, of the herdH1241, or of the flockH6629: {performing: Heb. separating}
Then shall he that offerethH7126 his offeringH7133 unto the LORDH3068 bringH7126 a meat offeringH4503 of a tenth dealH6241 of flourH5560 mingledH1101 with the fourthH7243 part of an hinH1969 of oilH8081.
And the fourthH7243 part of an hinH1969 of wineH3196 for a drink offeringH5262 shalt thou prepareH6213 with the burnt offeringH5930 or sacrificeH2077, for oneH259 lambH3532.
Or for a ramH352, thou shalt prepareH6213 for a meat offeringH4503 twoH8147 tenth dealsH6241 of flourH5560 mingledH1101 with the thirdH7992 part of an hinH1969 of oilH8081.
And for a drink offeringH5262 thou shalt offerH7126 the thirdH7992 part of an hinH1969 of wineH3196, for a sweetH5207 savourH7381 unto the LORDH3068.
And when thou preparestH6213 a bullockH1121+H1241 for a burnt offeringH5930, or for a sacrificeH2077 in performingH6381 a vowH5088, or peace offeringsH8002 unto the LORDH3068:
Then shall he bringH7126 with a bullockH1241+H1121 a meat offeringH4503 of threeH7969 tenth dealsH6241 of flourH5560 mingledH1101 with halfH2677 an hinH1969 of oilH8081.
And thou shalt bringH7126 for a drink offeringH5262 halfH2677 an hinH1969 of wineH3196, for an offering made by fireH801, of a sweetH5207 savourH7381 unto the LORDH3068.
Thus shall it be doneH6213 for oneH259 bullockH7794, or for oneH259 ramH352, or for a lambH3532+H7716, or a kidH5795.
According to the numberH4557 that ye shall prepareH6213, soH3602 shall ye doH6213 to every oneH259 according to their numberH4557.
All that are born of the countryH249 shall doH6213 these things after this manner, in offeringH7126 an offering made by fireH801, of a sweetH5207 savourH7381 unto the LORDH3068.
And if a strangerH1616 sojournH1481 with you, or whosoever be amongH8432 you in your generationsH1755, and will offerH6213 an offering made by fireH801, of a sweetH5207 savourH7381 unto the LORDH3068; as ye doH6213, so he shall doH6213.
OneH259 ordinanceH2708 shall be both for you of the congregationH6951, and also for the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 with you, an ordinanceH2708 for everH5769 in your generationsH1755: as ye are, so shall the strangerH1616 be beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
OneH259 lawH8451 and oneH259 mannerH4941 shall be for you, and for the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 with you.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When ye comeH935 into the landH776 whither I bringH935 you,
Then it shall be, that, when ye eatH398 of the breadH3899 of the landH776, ye shall offer upH7311 an heave offeringH8641 unto the LORDH3068.
Ye shall offer upH7311 a cakeH2471 of the firstH7225 of your doughH6182 for an heave offeringH8641: as ye do the heave offeringH8641 of the threshingfloorH1637, so shall ye heaveH7311 it.
Of the firstH7225 of your doughH6182 ye shall giveH5414 unto the LORDH3068 an heave offeringH8641 in your generationsH1755.
And if ye have erredH7686, and not observedH6213 all these commandmentsH4687, which the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 unto MosesH4872,
Even all that the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680 you by the handH3027 of MosesH4872, from the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 Moses, and henceforwardH1973 among your generationsH1755;
Then it shall be, if ought be committedH6213 by ignoranceH7684 without the knowledgeH5869 of the congregationH5712, that all the congregationH5712 shall offerH6213 oneH259 youngH1121+H1241 bullockH6499 for a burnt offeringH5930, for a sweetH5207 savourH7381 unto the LORDH3068, with his meat offeringH4503, and his drink offeringH5262, according to the mannerH4941, and oneH259 kidH8163 of the goatsH5795 for a sin offeringH2403. {without…: Heb. from the eyes} {manner: or, ordinance}
And the priestH3548 shall make an atonementH3722 for all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and it shall be forgivenH5545 them; for it is ignoranceH7684: and they shall bringH935 their offeringH7133, a sacrifice made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068, and their sin offeringH2403 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, for their ignoranceH7684:
And it shall be forgivenH5545 all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 amongH8432 them; seeing all the peopleH5971 were in ignoranceH7684.
And if anyH259 soulH5315 sinH2398 through ignoranceH7684, then he shall bringH7126 a she goatH5795 of the firstH1323 yearH8141 for a sin offeringH2403.
And the priestH3548 shall make an atonementH3722 for the soulH5315 that sinneth ignorantlyH7683, when he sinnethH2398 by ignoranceH7684 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to make an atonementH3722 for him; and it shall be forgivenH5545 him.
Ye shall have oneH259 lawH8451 for him that sinnethH6213 through ignoranceH7684, both for him that is bornH249 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and for the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 amongH8432 them. {sinneth: Heb. doth}
But the soulH5315 that doethH6213 ought presumptuouslyH7311+H3027, whether he be born in the landH249, or a strangerH4480+H1616, the same reproachethH1442 the LORDH3068; and that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971. {presumptuously: Heb. with an high hand}
Because he hath despisedH959 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and hath brokenH6565 his commandmentH4687, that soulH5315 shall utterlyH3772 be cut offH3772; his iniquityH5771 shall be upon him.
And while the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were in the wildernessH4057, they foundH4672 a manH376 that gatheredH7197 sticksH6086 upon the sabbathH7676 dayH3117.
And they that foundH4672 him gatheringH7197 sticksH6086 broughtH7126 him unto MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and unto all the congregationH5712.
And they putH3240 him in wardH4929, because it was not declaredH6567 what should be doneH6213 to him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, The manH376 shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191: all the congregationH5712 shall stoneH7275 him with stonesH68 withoutH2351 the campH4264.
And all the congregationH5712 broughtH3318 him withoutH2351 the campH4264, and stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, and he diedH4191; as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and bidH559 them that they makeH6213 them fringesH6734 in the bordersH3671 of their garmentsH899 throughout their generationsH1755, and that they putH5414 upon the fringeH6734 of the bordersH3671 a ribbandH6616 of blueH8504:
And it shall be unto you for a fringeH6734, that ye may lookH7200 upon it, and rememberH2142 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and doH6213 them; and that ye seekH8446 not afterH310 your own heartH3824 and your own eyesH5869, afterH310 which ye use to go a whoringH2181:
That ye may rememberH2142, and doH6213 all my commandmentsH4687, and beH1961 holyH6918 unto your GodH430.
I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to be your GodH430: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Thus he shewedH7200 me: and, behold, the LordH136 stoodH5324 upon a wallH2346 made by a plumblineH594, with a plumblineH594 in his handH3027.
And he saidH559, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019. Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, The endH7093 is comeH935 upon my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; I will not againH3254 passH5674 by them any more.
Then saidH559 I, O my lordH113, what are these? And the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me saidH559 unto me, I will shewH7200 thee what these be.
So I answeredH6030 and spakeH559 to the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me, sayingH559, What are these, my lordH113?
And it came to pass, when I, even I DanielH1840, had seenH7200 the visionH2377, and soughtH1245 for the meaningH998, then, behold, there stoodH5975 before me as the appearanceH4758 of a manH1397.
And HannahH2584 prayedH6419, and saidH559, My heartH3820 rejoicethH5970 in the LORDH3068, mine hornH7161 is exaltedH7311 in the LORDH3068: my mouthH6310 is enlargedH7337 over mine enemiesH341; because I rejoiceH8055 in thy salvationH3444.
There is none holyH6918 as the LORDH3068: for there is none besideH1115 thee: neither is there any rockH6697 like our GodH430.
TalkH1696 no moreH7235 so exceedingH1364 proudlyH1364; let not arrogancyH6277 comeH3318 out of your mouthH6310: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH410 of knowledgeH1844, and by him actionsH5949 are weighedH8505. {arrogancy: Heb. hard}
The bowsH7198 of the mighty menH1368 are brokenH2844, and they that stumbledH3782 are girdedH247 with strengthH2428.
They that were fullH7649 have hired outH7936 themselves for breadH3899; and they that were hungryH7457 ceasedH2308: so that the barrenH6135 hath bornH3205 sevenH7651; and she that hath manyH7227 childrenH1121 is waxed feebleH535.
The LORDH3068 killethH4191, and maketh aliveH2421: he bringeth downH3381 to the graveH7585, and bringeth upH5927.
The LORDH3068 maketh poorH3423, and maketh richH6238: he bringeth lowH8213, andH637 lifteth upH7311.
He raiseth upH6965 the poorH1800 out of the dustH6083, and lifteth upH7311 the beggarH34 from the dunghillH830, to setH3427 them among princesH5081, and to make them inheritH5157 the throneH3678 of gloryH3519: for the pillarsH4690 of the earthH776 are the LORD'SH3068, and he hath setH7896 the worldH8398 upon them.
He will keepH8104 the feetH7272 of his saintsH2623, and the wickedH7563 shall be silentH1826 in darknessH2822; for by strengthH3581 shall no manH376 prevailH1396.
The adversariesH7378 of the LORDH3068 shall be broken to piecesH2865; out of heavenH8064 shall he thunderH7481 upon them: the LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 the endsH657 of the earthH776; and he shall giveH5414 strengthH5797 unto his kingH4428, and exaltH7311 the hornH7161 of his anointedH4899.
And ElkanahH511 wentH3212 to RamahH7414 to his houseH1004. And the childH5288 didH1961 ministerH8334 unto the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 EliH5941 the priestH3548.
Now the sonsH1121 of EliH5941 were sonsH1121 of BelialH1100; they knewH3045 not the LORDH3068.
And the priests'H3548 customH4941 with the peopleH5971 was, that, when any manH376 offeredH2076 sacrificeH2077, the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, while the fleshH1320 was in seethingH1310, with a fleshhookH4207 of threeH7969 teethH8127 in his handH3027;
And he struckH5221 it into the panH3595, or kettleH1731, or caldronH7037, or potH6517; all that the fleshhookH4207 brought upH5927 the priestH3548 tookH3947 for himself. So they didH6213 in ShilohH7887 unto all the IsraelitesH3478 that cameH935 thither.
Also before they burntH6999 the fatH2459, the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, and saidH559 to the manH376 that sacrificedH2076, GiveH5414 fleshH1320 to roastH6740 for the priestH3548; for he will not haveH3947 soddenH1310 fleshH1320 of thee, but rawH2416.
And if any manH376 saidH559 unto him, Let them not failH6999 to burnH6999 the fatH2459 presentlyH3117, and then takeH3947 as much as thy soulH5315 desirethH183; then he would answerH559 him, Nay; but thou shalt giveH5414 it me now: and if not, I will takeH3947 it by forceH2394. {presently: Heb. as on the day}
Wherefore the sinH2403 of the young menH5288 was veryH3966 greatH1419 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: for menH582 abhorredH5006 the offeringH4503 of the LORDH3068.
But SamuelH8050 ministeredH8334 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, being a childH5288, girdedH2296 with a linenH906 ephodH646.
Moreover his motherH517 madeH6213 him a littleH6996 coatH4598, and broughtH5927 it to him from yearH3117 to yearH3117, when she came upH5927 with her husbandH376 to offerH2076 the yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077.
And EliH5941 blessedH1288 ElkanahH511 and his wifeH802, and saidH559, The LORDH3068 giveH7760 thee seedH2233 of this womanH802 for the loanH7596 which is lentH7592 to the LORDH3068. And they wentH1980 unto their own homeH4725. {loan…: or, petition which she asked, etc}
AndH3588 the LORDH3068 visitedH6485 HannahH2584, so that she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121 and twoH8147 daughtersH1323. And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1431 beforeH5973 the LORDH3068.
Now EliH5941 was veryH3966 oldH2204, and heardH8085 all that his sonsH1121 didH6213 unto all IsraelH3478; and how they layH7901 with the womenH802 that assembledH6633 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150. {assembled: Heb. assembled by troops}
And he saidH559 unto them, Why doH6213 ye such thingsH1697? for I hearH8085 of your evilH7451 dealingsH1697 by all this peopleH5971. {of your…: or, evil words of you}
Nay, my sonsH1121; for it is no goodH2896 reportH8052 that I hearH8085: ye make the LORD'SH3068 peopleH5971 to transgressH5674. {transgress: or, cry out}
If one manH376 sinH2398 against anotherH376, the judgeH430 shall judgeH6419 him: but if a manH376 sinH2398 against the LORDH3068, who shall intreatH6419 for him? Notwithstanding they hearkenedH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of their fatherH1, because the LORDH3068 wouldH2654 slayH4191 them.
And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1432 onH1980, and was in favourH2896 both with the LORDH3068, and also with menH582.
And there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 unto EliH5941, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Did I plainlyH1540 appearH1540 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, when they were in EgyptH4714 in Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004?
And did I chooseH977 him out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to be my priestH3548, to offerH5927 upon mine altarH4196, to burnH6999 incenseH7004, to wearH5375 an ephodH646 beforeH6440 me? and did I giveH5414 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1 all the offerings made by fireH801 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478?
Wherefore kickH1163 ye at my sacrificeH2077 and at mine offeringH4503, which I have commandedH6680 in my habitationH4583; and honourestH3513 thy sonsH1121 above me, to make yourselves fatH1254 with the chiefestH7225 of all the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971?
Wherefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now the LORDH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that I will cut offH1438 thine armH2220, and the armH2220 of thy father'sH1 houseH1004, that there shall not be an old manH2205 in thine houseH1004.
And thou shalt seeH5027 an enemyH6862 in my habitationH4583, in all the wealth which God shall giveH3190 IsraelH3478: and there shall not be an old manH2205 in thine houseH1004 for everH3117. {an enemy…: or, the affliction of the tabernacle, for all the wealth which God would have given Israel}
And the manH376 of thine, whom I shall not cut offH3772 from mine altarH4196, shall be to consumeH3615 thine eyesH5869, and to grieveH109 thine heartH5315: and all the increaseH4768 of thine houseH1004 shall dieH4191 in the flower of their ageH582. {in the flower…: Heb. men}
And this shall be a signH226 unto thee, that shall comeH935 upon thy twoH8147 sonsH1121, on HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372; in oneH259 dayH3117 they shall dieH4191 bothH8147 of them.
And I will raise me upH6965 a faithfulH539 priestH3548, that shall doH6213 according to that which is in mine heartH3824 and in my mindH5315: and I will buildH1129 him a sureH539 houseH1004; and he shall walkH1980 beforeH6440 mine anointedH4899 for everH3117.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is leftH3498 in thine houseH1004 shall comeH935 and crouchH7812 to him for a pieceH95 of silverH3701 and a morselH3603 of breadH3899, and shall sayH559, PutH5596 me, I pray thee, into oneH259 of the priests' officesH3550, that I may eatH398 a pieceH6595 of breadH3899. {Put: Heb. Join} {one of…: or, somewhat about the priesthood}
ForasmuchG1895 as manyG4183 have taken in handG2021 to set forth in orderG392 a declarationG1335 ofG4012 those thingsG4229 which are most surely believedG4135 amongG1722 usG2254,
EvenG2531 as they deliveredG3860 them unto usG2254, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginningG746 wereG1096 eyewitnessesG845, andG2532 ministersG5257 of the wordG3056;
It seemedG1380 good to me alsoG2504, having had perfectG199 understandingG3877 of all thingsG3956 from the very firstG509, to writeG1125 unto theeG4671 in orderG2517, most excellentG2903 TheophilusG2321,
ThatG2443 thou mightest knowG1921 the certaintyG803 ofG4012 those thingsG3056, whereinG3739 thou hast been instructedG2727.
There wasG1096 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264, the kingG935 of JudaeaG2449, a certainG5100 priestG2409 namedG3686 ZachariasG2197, ofG1537 the courseG2183 of AbiaG7: andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135 was ofG1537 the daughtersG2364 of AaronG2, andG2532 herG846 nameG3686 was ElisabethG1665.
AndG1161 they wereG2258 bothG297 righteousG1342 beforeG1799 GodG2316, walkingG4198 inG1722 allG3956 the commandmentsG1785 andG2532 ordinancesG1345 of the LordG2962 blamelessG273.
AndG2532 theyG846 hadG2258 noG3756 childG5043, becauseG2530 that ElisabethG1665 wasG2258 barrenG4723, andG2532 theyG846 bothG297 wereG2258 now well strickenG4260 inG1722 yearsG2250.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that whileG1722 heG846 executed the priest's officeG2407 beforeG1725 GodG2316 inG1722 the orderG5010 of hisG846 courseG2183,
AccordingG2596 to the customG1485 of the priest's officeG2405, his lotG2975 was to burn incenseG2370 when he wentG1525 intoG1519 the templeG3485 of the LordG2962.
AndG2532 the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992 wereG2258 prayingG4336 withoutG1854 at the timeG5610 of incenseG2368.
AndG1161 there appearedG3700 unto himG846 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 standingG2476 onG1537 the right sideG1188 of the altarG2379 of incenseG2368.
AndG2532 when ZachariasG2197 sawG1492 him, he was troubledG5015, andG2532 fearG5401 fellG1968 uponG1909 himG846.
ButG1161 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, FearG5399 notG3361, ZachariasG2197: forG1360 thyG4675 prayerG1162 is heardG1522; andG2532 thyG4675 wifeG1135 ElisabethG1665 shall bearG1080 theeG4671 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JohnG2491.
AndG2532 thouG4671 shalt haveG2071 joyG5479 andG2532 gladnessG20; andG2532 manyG4183 shall rejoiceG5463 atG1909 hisG846 birthG1083.
ForG1063 he shall beG2071 greatG3173 in the sightG1799 of the LordG2962, andG2532 shall drinkG4095 neitherG3364 wineG3631 norG2532 strong drinkG4608; andG2532 he shall be filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2089 fromG1537 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836.
AndG2532 manyG4183 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 shall he turnG1994 toG1909 the LordG2962 theirG846 GodG2316.
AndG2532 heG846 shall goG4281 beforeG1799 himG846 inG1722 the spiritG4151 andG2532 powerG1411 of EliasG2243, to turnG1994 the heartsG2588 of the fathersG3962 toG1909 the childrenG5043, andG2532 the disobedientG545 toG1722 the wisdomG5428 of the justG1342; to make readyG2090 a peopleG2992 preparedG2680 for the LordG2962. {to the wisdom: or, by the wisdom}
AndG2532 ZachariasG2197 saidG2036 untoG4314 the angelG32, WherebyG2596+G5101 shall I knowG1097 thisG5124? forG1063 IG1473 amG1510 an old manG4246, andG2532 myG3450 wifeG1135 well strickenG4260 inG1722 yearsG2250+G846.
AndG2532 the angelG32 answeringG611 saidG2036 unto himG846, IG1473 amG1510 GabrielG1043, that standG3936 in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316; andG2532 am sentG649 to speakG2980 untoG4314 theeG4571, andG2532 to shewG2097 theeG4671 theseG5023 glad tidingsG2097.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thouG2071 shalt be dumbG4623, andG2532 notG3361 ableG1410 to speakG2980, untilG891 the dayG2250 thatG3739 these thingsG5023 shall be performedG1096, becauseG473+G3739 thou believestG4100 notG3756 myG3450 wordsG3056, whichG3748 shall be fulfilledG4137 inG1519 theirG846 seasonG2540.
AndG2532 the peopleG2992 waitedG2258+G4328 for ZachariasG2197, andG2532 marvelledG2296 thatG1722 heG846 tarried so longG5549 inG1722 the templeG3485.
AndG1161 when he came outG1831, he couldG1410 notG3756 speakG2980 unto themG846: andG2532 they perceivedG1921 thatG3754 he had seenG3708 a visionG3701 inG1722 the templeG3485: forG2532 heG846 beckonedG2258+G1269 unto themG846, andG2532 remainedG1265 speechlessG2974.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that, as soon asG5613 the daysG2250 of hisG846 ministrationG3009 were accomplishedG4130, he departedG565 toG1519 his ownG846 houseG3624.
AndG1161 afterG3326 thoseG5025 daysG2250 hisG846 wifeG1135 ElisabethG1665 conceivedG4815, andG2532 hidG4032 herselfG1438 fiveG4002 monthsG3376, sayingG3004,
ThusG3779 hathG4160 the LordG2962 dealtG4160 with meG3427 inG1722 the daysG2250 whereinG3739 he looked onG1896 me, to take awayG851 myG3450 reproachG3681 amongG1722 menG444.
AndG1161 inG1722 the sixthG1623 monthG3376 the angelG32 GabrielG1043 was sentG649 fromG5259 GodG2316 untoG1519 a cityG4172 of GalileeG1056, namedG3739+G3686 NazarethG3478,
ToG4314 a virginG3933 espousedG3423 to a manG435 whoseG3739 nameG3686 was JosephG2501, ofG1537 the houseG3624 of DavidG1138; andG2532 the virgin'sG3933 nameG3686 was MaryG3137.
AndG2532 the angelG32 came inG1525 untoG4314 herG846, and saidG2036, HailG5463, thou that art highly favouredG5487, the LordG2962 is withG3326 theeG4675: blessedG2127 art thouG4771 amongG1722 womenG1135. {highly…: or, graciously accepted, or, of much grace}
AndG1161 when she sawG1492 him, she was troubledG1298 atG1909 hisG846 sayingG3056, andG2532 cast in her mindG1260 what mannerG4217 of salutationG783 thisG3778 should beG1498.
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto herG846, FearG5399 notG3361, MaryG3137: forG1063 thou hast foundG2147 favourG5485 withG3844 GodG2316.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thou shalt conceiveG4815 inG1722 thy wombG1064, andG2532 bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424.
HeG3778 shall beG2071 greatG3173, andG2532 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of the HighestG5310: andG2532 the LordG2962 GodG2316 shall giveG1325 unto himG846 the throneG2362 of hisG846 fatherG3962 DavidG1138:
AndG2532 he shall reignG936 overG1909 the houseG3624 of JacobG2384 forG1519 everG165; andG2532 of hisG846 kingdomG932 there shall beG2071 noG3756 endG5056.
ThenG1161 saidG2036 MaryG3137 untoG4314 the angelG32, HowG4459 shallG2071 thisG5124 beG2071, seeingG1893 I knowG1097 notG3756 a manG435?
AndG2532 the angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto herG846, The HolyG40 GhostG4151 shall comeG1904 uponG1909 theeG4571, andG2532 the powerG1411 of the HighestG5310 shall overshadowG1982 theeG4671: thereforeG1352 alsoG2532 that holy thingG40 which shall be bornG1080 ofG1537 theeG4675 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thyG4675 cousinG4773 ElisabethG1665, sheG846 hathG4815 alsoG2532 conceivedG4815 a sonG5207 inG1722 herG846 old ageG1094: andG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the sixthG1623 monthG3376 with herG846, whoG3588 was calledG2564 barrenG4723.
ForG3754 withG3844 GodG2316 nothingG3756+G3956+G4487 shall be impossibleG101.
AndG1161 MaryG3137 saidG2036, BeholdG2400 the handmaidG1399 of the LordG2962; be itG1096 unto meG3427 accordingG2596 to thyG4675 wordG4487. AndG2532 the angelG32 departedG565 fromG575 herG846.
AndG1161 MaryG3137 aroseG450 inG1722 thoseG5025 daysG2250, and wentG4198 intoG1519 the hill countryG3714 withG3326 hasteG4710, intoG1519 a cityG4172 of JudaG2448;
AndG2532 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the houseG3624 of ZachariasG2197, andG2532 salutedG782 ElisabethG1665.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that, whenG5613 ElisabethG1665 heardG191 the salutationG783 of MaryG3137, the babeG1025 leapedG4640 inG1722 herG846 wombG2836; andG2532 ElisabethG1665 was filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151:
AndG2532 she spake outG400 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, andG2532 saidG2036, BlessedG2127 art thouG4771 amongG1722 womenG1135, andG2532 blessedG2127 is the fruitG2590 of thyG4675 wombG2836.
AndG2532 whenceG4159 is thisG5124 to meG3427, thatG2443 the motherG3384 of myG3450 LordG2962 should comeG2064 toG4314 meG3165?
ForG1063, loG2400, as soon asG5613 the voiceG5456 of thyG4675 salutationG783 soundedG1096 inG1519 mineG3450 earsG3775, the babeG1025 leapedG4640 inG1722 myG3450 wombG2836 forG1722 joyG20.
AndG2532 blessedG3107 is she that believedG4100: forG3754 there shall beG2071 a performanceG5050 of those things which were toldG2980 herG846 fromG3844 the LordG2962. {that…: or, which believed that there}
AndG2532 MaryG3137 saidG2036, MyG3450 soulG5590 doth magnifyG3170 the LordG2962,
AndG2532 myG3450 spiritG4151 hath rejoicedG21 inG1909 GodG2316 myG3450 SaviourG4990.
ForG3754 he hath regardedG1914+G1909 the low estateG5014 of hisG846 handmaidenG1399: forG1063, beholdG2400, fromG575 henceforthG3568 allG3956 generationsG1074 shall callG3106 meG3165 blessedG3106.
ForG3754 he that is mightyG1415 hath doneG4160 to meG3427 great thingsG3167; andG2532 holyG40 is hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 hisG846 mercyG1656 is on them that fearG5399 himG846 fromG1519 generationG1074 to generationG1074.
He hath shewedG4160 strengthG2904 withG1722 hisG846 armG1023; he hath scatteredG1287 the proudG5244 in the imaginationG1271 of theirG846 heartsG2588.
He hath put downG2507 the mightyG1413 fromG575 their seatsG2362, andG2532 exaltedG5312 them of low degreeG5011.
He hath filledG1705 the hungryG3983 with good thingsG18; andG2532 the richG4147 he hath sentG1821 emptyG2756 awayG1821.
He hath holpenG482 hisG846 servantG3816 IsraelG2474, in remembranceG3415 of his mercyG1656;
AsG2531 he spakeG2980 toG4314 ourG2257 fathersG3962, to AbrahamG11, andG2532 to hisG846 seedG4690 forG1519 everG165.
AndG1161 MaryG3137 abodeG3306 withG4862 herG846 aboutG5616 threeG5140 monthsG3376, andG2532 returnedG5290 toG1519 her ownG846 houseG3624.
NowG1161 Elisabeth'sG1665 fullG4130 timeG5550 cameG4130 that sheG846 should be deliveredG5088; andG2532 she brought forthG1080 a sonG5207.
AndG2532 her neighboursG4040 andG2532 herG846 cousinsG4773 heardG191 howG3754 the LordG2962 had shewed greatG3170 mercyG1656+G846 uponG3326 herG846; andG2532 they rejoicedG4796 with herG846.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that onG1722 the eighthG3590 dayG2250 they cameG2064 to circumciseG4059 the childG3813; andG2532 they calledG2564 himG846 ZachariasG2197, afterG1909 the nameG3686 of hisG846 fatherG3962.
AndG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 answeredG611 and saidG2036, NotG3780 so; butG235 he shall be calledG2564 JohnG2491.
AndG2532 they saidG2036 untoG4314 herG846+G3754, There isG2076 noneG3762 ofG1722 thyG4675 kindredG4772 thatG3739 is calledG2564 by thisG5129 nameG3686.
AndG1161 they made signsG1770 to hisG846 fatherG3962, howG5101+G302 he would haveG2309 himG846 calledG2564.
AndG2532 he asked forG154 a writing tableG4093, and wroteG1125, sayingG3004, HisG846 nameG3686 isG2076 JohnG2491. AndG2532 they marvelledG2296 allG3956.
AndG1161 hisG846 mouthG4750 was openedG455 immediatelyG3916, andG2532 hisG846 tongueG1100 loosed, andG2532 he spakeG2980, and praisedG2127 GodG2316.
AndG2532 fearG5401 cameG1096 onG1909 allG3956 that dwelt round aboutG4039 themG846: andG2532 allG3956 theseG5023 sayingsG4487 were noised abroadG1255 throughoutG1722 allG3650 the hill countryG3714 of JudaeaG2449. {sayings: or, things}
AndG2532 allG3956 they that heardG191 them laid them upG5087 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 mannerG686 of childG3813 shallG2071 thisG5124 beG2071! AndG2532 the handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG2258 withG3326 himG846.
AndG2532 hisG846 fatherG3962 ZachariasG2197 was filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 prophesiedG4395, sayingG3004,
BlessedG2128 be the LordG2962 GodG2316 of IsraelG2474; forG3754 he hath visitedG1980 andG2532 redeemedG3085 hisG846 peopleG2992+G4160,
AndG2532 hath raised upG1453 an hornG2768 of salvationG4991 for usG2254 inG1722 the houseG3624 of hisG846 servantG3816 DavidG1138;
AsG2531 he spakeG2980 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of hisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396, whichG3588 have been sinceG575 the world beganG165:
That we should be savedG4991 fromG1537 ourG2257 enemiesG2190, andG2532 fromG1537 the handG5495 of allG3956 that hateG3404 usG2248;
To performG4160 the mercyG1656 promised toG3326 ourG2257 fathersG3962, andG2532 to rememberG3415 hisG846 holyG40 covenantG1242;
The oathG3727 whichG3739 he swareG3660 toG4314 ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11,
That he would grantG1325 unto usG2254, that we being deliveredG4506 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of ourG2257 enemiesG2190 might serveG3000 himG846 without fearG870,
InG1722 holinessG3742 andG2532 righteousnessG1343 beforeG1799 himG846, allG3956 the daysG2250 of ourG2257 lifeG2222.
AndG2532 thouG4771, childG3813, shalt be calledG2564 the prophetG4396 of the HighestG5310: forG1063 thou shalt goG4313 beforeG4253 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 to prepareG2090 hisG846 waysG3598;
To giveG1325 knowledgeG1108 of salvationG4991 unto hisG846 peopleG2992 byG1722 the remissionG859 of theirG846 sinsG266, {by: or, for}
ThroughG1223 the tenderG4698 mercyG1656 of ourG2257 GodG2316; wherebyG1722+G3739 the dayspringG395 fromG1537 on highG5311 hath visitedG1980 usG2248, {tender…: or, bowels of the mercy} {dayspring: or, Sunrising, or, branch, Zac.3.8, esay II, I Malich.4.2, numb.24.17}
To give lightG2014 to them that sitG2521 inG1722 darknessG4655 andG2532 in the shadowG4639 of deathG2288, to guideG2720 ourG2257 feetG4228 intoG1519 the wayG3598 of peaceG1515.
AndG1161 the childG3813 grewG837, andG2532 waxed strongG2901 in spiritG4151, andG2532 wasG2258 inG1722 the desertsG2048 tillG2193 the dayG2250 of hisG846 shewingG323 untoG4314 IsraelG2474.
ForasmuchG1895 as manyG4183 have taken in handG2021 to set forth in orderG392 a declarationG1335 ofG4012 those thingsG4229 which are most surely believedG4135 amongG1722 usG2254,
EvenG2531 as they deliveredG3860 them unto usG2254, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginningG746 wereG1096 eyewitnessesG845, andG2532 ministersG5257 of the wordG3056;
It seemedG1380 good to me alsoG2504, having had perfectG199 understandingG3877 of all thingsG3956 from the very firstG509, to writeG1125 unto theeG4671 in orderG2517, most excellentG2903 TheophilusG2321,
ThatG2443 thou mightest knowG1921 the certaintyG803 ofG4012 those thingsG3056, whereinG3739 thou hast been instructedG2727.
There wasG1096 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264, the kingG935 of JudaeaG2449, a certainG5100 priestG2409 namedG3686 ZachariasG2197, ofG1537 the courseG2183 of AbiaG7: andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135 was ofG1537 the daughtersG2364 of AaronG2, andG2532 herG846 nameG3686 was ElisabethG1665.
AndG1161 they wereG2258 bothG297 righteousG1342 beforeG1799 GodG2316, walkingG4198 inG1722 allG3956 the commandmentsG1785 andG2532 ordinancesG1345 of the LordG2962 blamelessG273.
AndG2532 theyG846 hadG2258 noG3756 childG5043, becauseG2530 that ElisabethG1665 wasG2258 barrenG4723, andG2532 theyG846 bothG297 wereG2258 now well strickenG4260 inG1722 yearsG2250.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that whileG1722 heG846 executed the priest's officeG2407 beforeG1725 GodG2316 inG1722 the orderG5010 of hisG846 courseG2183,
AccordingG2596 to the customG1485 of the priest's officeG2405, his lotG2975 was to burn incenseG2370 when he wentG1525 intoG1519 the templeG3485 of the LordG2962.
AndG2532 the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992 wereG2258 prayingG4336 withoutG1854 at the timeG5610 of incenseG2368.
AndG1161 there appearedG3700 unto himG846 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 standingG2476 onG1537 the right sideG1188 of the altarG2379 of incenseG2368.
AndG2532 when ZachariasG2197 sawG1492 him, he was troubledG5015, andG2532 fearG5401 fellG1968 uponG1909 himG846.
ButG1161 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, FearG5399 notG3361, ZachariasG2197: forG1360 thyG4675 prayerG1162 is heardG1522; andG2532 thyG4675 wifeG1135 ElisabethG1665 shall bearG1080 theeG4671 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JohnG2491.
AndG2532 thouG4671 shalt haveG2071 joyG5479 andG2532 gladnessG20; andG2532 manyG4183 shall rejoiceG5463 atG1909 hisG846 birthG1083.
ForG1063 he shall beG2071 greatG3173 in the sightG1799 of the LordG2962, andG2532 shall drinkG4095 neitherG3364 wineG3631 norG2532 strong drinkG4608; andG2532 he shall be filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2089 fromG1537 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836.
AndG2532 manyG4183 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 shall he turnG1994 toG1909 the LordG2962 theirG846 GodG2316.
AndG2532 heG846 shall goG4281 beforeG1799 himG846 inG1722 the spiritG4151 andG2532 powerG1411 of EliasG2243, to turnG1994 the heartsG2588 of the fathersG3962 toG1909 the childrenG5043, andG2532 the disobedientG545 toG1722 the wisdomG5428 of the justG1342; to make readyG2090 a peopleG2992 preparedG2680 for the LordG2962. {to the wisdom: or, by the wisdom}
AndG2532 ZachariasG2197 saidG2036 untoG4314 the angelG32, WherebyG2596+G5101 shall I knowG1097 thisG5124? forG1063 IG1473 amG1510 an old manG4246, andG2532 myG3450 wifeG1135 well strickenG4260 inG1722 yearsG2250+G846.
AndG2532 the angelG32 answeringG611 saidG2036 unto himG846, IG1473 amG1510 GabrielG1043, that standG3936 in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316; andG2532 am sentG649 to speakG2980 untoG4314 theeG4571, andG2532 to shewG2097 theeG4671 theseG5023 glad tidingsG2097.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thouG2071 shalt be dumbG4623, andG2532 notG3361 ableG1410 to speakG2980, untilG891 the dayG2250 thatG3739 these thingsG5023 shall be performedG1096, becauseG473+G3739 thou believestG4100 notG3756 myG3450 wordsG3056, whichG3748 shall be fulfilledG4137 inG1519 theirG846 seasonG2540.
AndG2532 the peopleG2992 waitedG2258+G4328 for ZachariasG2197, andG2532 marvelledG2296 thatG1722 heG846 tarried so longG5549 inG1722 the templeG3485.
AndG1161 when he came outG1831, he couldG1410 notG3756 speakG2980 unto themG846: andG2532 they perceivedG1921 thatG3754 he had seenG3708 a visionG3701 inG1722 the templeG3485: forG2532 heG846 beckonedG2258+G1269 unto themG846, andG2532 remainedG1265 speechlessG2974.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that, as soon asG5613 the daysG2250 of hisG846 ministrationG3009 were accomplishedG4130, he departedG565 toG1519 his ownG846 houseG3624.
AndG1161 afterG3326 thoseG5025 daysG2250 hisG846 wifeG1135 ElisabethG1665 conceivedG4815, andG2532 hidG4032 herselfG1438 fiveG4002 monthsG3376, sayingG3004,
ThusG3779 hathG4160 the LordG2962 dealtG4160 with meG3427 inG1722 the daysG2250 whereinG3739 he looked onG1896 me, to take awayG851 myG3450 reproachG3681 amongG1722 menG444.
AndG1161 inG1722 the sixthG1623 monthG3376 the angelG32 GabrielG1043 was sentG649 fromG5259 GodG2316 untoG1519 a cityG4172 of GalileeG1056, namedG3739+G3686 NazarethG3478,
ToG4314 a virginG3933 espousedG3423 to a manG435 whoseG3739 nameG3686 was JosephG2501, ofG1537 the houseG3624 of DavidG1138; andG2532 the virgin'sG3933 nameG3686 was MaryG3137.
AndG2532 the angelG32 came inG1525 untoG4314 herG846, and saidG2036, HailG5463, thou that art highly favouredG5487, the LordG2962 is withG3326 theeG4675: blessedG2127 art thouG4771 amongG1722 womenG1135. {highly…: or, graciously accepted, or, of much grace}
AndG1161 when she sawG1492 him, she was troubledG1298 atG1909 hisG846 sayingG3056, andG2532 cast in her mindG1260 what mannerG4217 of salutationG783 thisG3778 should beG1498.
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto herG846, FearG5399 notG3361, MaryG3137: forG1063 thou hast foundG2147 favourG5485 withG3844 GodG2316.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thou shalt conceiveG4815 inG1722 thy wombG1064, andG2532 bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424.
HeG3778 shall beG2071 greatG3173, andG2532 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of the HighestG5310: andG2532 the LordG2962 GodG2316 shall giveG1325 unto himG846 the throneG2362 of hisG846 fatherG3962 DavidG1138:
AndG2532 he shall reignG936 overG1909 the houseG3624 of JacobG2384 forG1519 everG165; andG2532 of hisG846 kingdomG932 there shall beG2071 noG3756 endG5056.
ThenG1161 saidG2036 MaryG3137 untoG4314 the angelG32, HowG4459 shallG2071 thisG5124 beG2071, seeingG1893 I knowG1097 notG3756 a manG435?
AndG2532 the angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto herG846, The HolyG40 GhostG4151 shall comeG1904 uponG1909 theeG4571, andG2532 the powerG1411 of the HighestG5310 shall overshadowG1982 theeG4671: thereforeG1352 alsoG2532 that holy thingG40 which shall be bornG1080 ofG1537 theeG4675 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thyG4675 cousinG4773 ElisabethG1665, sheG846 hathG4815 alsoG2532 conceivedG4815 a sonG5207 inG1722 herG846 old ageG1094: andG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the sixthG1623 monthG3376 with herG846, whoG3588 was calledG2564 barrenG4723.
ForG3754 withG3844 GodG2316 nothingG3756+G3956+G4487 shall be impossibleG101.
AndG1161 MaryG3137 saidG2036, BeholdG2400 the handmaidG1399 of the LordG2962; be itG1096 unto meG3427 accordingG2596 to thyG4675 wordG4487. AndG2532 the angelG32 departedG565 fromG575 herG846.
AndG1161 MaryG3137 aroseG450 inG1722 thoseG5025 daysG2250, and wentG4198 intoG1519 the hill countryG3714 withG3326 hasteG4710, intoG1519 a cityG4172 of JudaG2448;
AndG2532 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the houseG3624 of ZachariasG2197, andG2532 salutedG782 ElisabethG1665.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that, whenG5613 ElisabethG1665 heardG191 the salutationG783 of MaryG3137, the babeG1025 leapedG4640 inG1722 herG846 wombG2836; andG2532 ElisabethG1665 was filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151:
AndG2532 she spake outG400 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, andG2532 saidG2036, BlessedG2127 art thouG4771 amongG1722 womenG1135, andG2532 blessedG2127 is the fruitG2590 of thyG4675 wombG2836.
AndG2532 whenceG4159 is thisG5124 to meG3427, thatG2443 the motherG3384 of myG3450 LordG2962 should comeG2064 toG4314 meG3165?
ForG1063, loG2400, as soon asG5613 the voiceG5456 of thyG4675 salutationG783 soundedG1096 inG1519 mineG3450 earsG3775, the babeG1025 leapedG4640 inG1722 myG3450 wombG2836 forG1722 joyG20.
AndG2532 blessedG3107 is she that believedG4100: forG3754 there shall beG2071 a performanceG5050 of those things which were toldG2980 herG846 fromG3844 the LordG2962. {that…: or, which believed that there}
AndG2532 MaryG3137 saidG2036, MyG3450 soulG5590 doth magnifyG3170 the LordG2962,
AndG2532 myG3450 spiritG4151 hath rejoicedG21 inG1909 GodG2316 myG3450 SaviourG4990.
ForG3754 he hath regardedG1914+G1909 the low estateG5014 of hisG846 handmaidenG1399: forG1063, beholdG2400, fromG575 henceforthG3568 allG3956 generationsG1074 shall callG3106 meG3165 blessedG3106.
ForG3754 he that is mightyG1415 hath doneG4160 to meG3427 great thingsG3167; andG2532 holyG40 is hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 hisG846 mercyG1656 is on them that fearG5399 himG846 fromG1519 generationG1074 to generationG1074.
He hath shewedG4160 strengthG2904 withG1722 hisG846 armG1023; he hath scatteredG1287 the proudG5244 in the imaginationG1271 of theirG846 heartsG2588.
He hath put downG2507 the mightyG1413 fromG575 their seatsG2362, andG2532 exaltedG5312 them of low degreeG5011.
He hath filledG1705 the hungryG3983 with good thingsG18; andG2532 the richG4147 he hath sentG1821 emptyG2756 awayG1821.
He hath holpenG482 hisG846 servantG3816 IsraelG2474, in remembranceG3415 of his mercyG1656;
AsG2531 he spakeG2980 toG4314 ourG2257 fathersG3962, to AbrahamG11, andG2532 to hisG846 seedG4690 forG1519 everG165.
AndG1161 MaryG3137 abodeG3306 withG4862 herG846 aboutG5616 threeG5140 monthsG3376, andG2532 returnedG5290 toG1519 her ownG846 houseG3624.
NowG1161 Elisabeth'sG1665 fullG4130 timeG5550 cameG4130 that sheG846 should be deliveredG5088; andG2532 she brought forthG1080 a sonG5207.
AndG2532 her neighboursG4040 andG2532 herG846 cousinsG4773 heardG191 howG3754 the LordG2962 had shewed greatG3170 mercyG1656+G846 uponG3326 herG846; andG2532 they rejoicedG4796 with herG846.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that onG1722 the eighthG3590 dayG2250 they cameG2064 to circumciseG4059 the childG3813; andG2532 they calledG2564 himG846 ZachariasG2197, afterG1909 the nameG3686 of hisG846 fatherG3962.
AndG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 answeredG611 and saidG2036, NotG3780 so; butG235 he shall be calledG2564 JohnG2491.
AndG2532 they saidG2036 untoG4314 herG846+G3754, There isG2076 noneG3762 ofG1722 thyG4675 kindredG4772 thatG3739 is calledG2564 by thisG5129 nameG3686.
AndG1161 they made signsG1770 to hisG846 fatherG3962, howG5101+G302 he would haveG2309 himG846 calledG2564.
AndG2532 he asked forG154 a writing tableG4093, and wroteG1125, sayingG3004, HisG846 nameG3686 isG2076 JohnG2491. AndG2532 they marvelledG2296 allG3956.
AndG1161 hisG846 mouthG4750 was openedG455 immediatelyG3916, andG2532 hisG846 tongueG1100 loosed, andG2532 he spakeG2980, and praisedG2127 GodG2316.
AndG2532 fearG5401 cameG1096 onG1909 allG3956 that dwelt round aboutG4039 themG846: andG2532 allG3956 theseG5023 sayingsG4487 were noised abroadG1255 throughoutG1722 allG3650 the hill countryG3714 of JudaeaG2449. {sayings: or, things}
AndG2532 allG3956 they that heardG191 them laid them upG5087 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 mannerG686 of childG3813 shallG2071 thisG5124 beG2071! AndG2532 the handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG2258 withG3326 himG846.
AndG2532 hisG846 fatherG3962 ZachariasG2197 was filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 prophesiedG4395, sayingG3004,
BlessedG2128 be the LordG2962 GodG2316 of IsraelG2474; forG3754 he hath visitedG1980 andG2532 redeemedG3085 hisG846 peopleG2992+G4160,
AndG2532 hath raised upG1453 an hornG2768 of salvationG4991 for usG2254 inG1722 the houseG3624 of hisG846 servantG3816 DavidG1138;
AsG2531 he spakeG2980 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of hisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396, whichG3588 have been sinceG575 the world beganG165:
That we should be savedG4991 fromG1537 ourG2257 enemiesG2190, andG2532 fromG1537 the handG5495 of allG3956 that hateG3404 usG2248;
To performG4160 the mercyG1656 promised toG3326 ourG2257 fathersG3962, andG2532 to rememberG3415 hisG846 holyG40 covenantG1242;
The oathG3727 whichG3739 he swareG3660 toG4314 ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11,
That he would grantG1325 unto usG2254, that we being deliveredG4506 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of ourG2257 enemiesG2190 might serveG3000 himG846 without fearG870,
InG1722 holinessG3742 andG2532 righteousnessG1343 beforeG1799 himG846, allG3956 the daysG2250 of ourG2257 lifeG2222.
AndG2532 thouG4771, childG3813, shalt be calledG2564 the prophetG4396 of the HighestG5310: forG1063 thou shalt goG4313 beforeG4253 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 to prepareG2090 hisG846 waysG3598;
To giveG1325 knowledgeG1108 of salvationG4991 unto hisG846 peopleG2992 byG1722 the remissionG859 of theirG846 sinsG266, {by: or, for}
ThroughG1223 the tenderG4698 mercyG1656 of ourG2257 GodG2316; wherebyG1722+G3739 the dayspringG395 fromG1537 on highG5311 hath visitedG1980 usG2248, {tender…: or, bowels of the mercy} {dayspring: or, Sunrising, or, branch, Zac.3.8, esay II, I Malich.4.2, numb.24.17}
To give lightG2014 to them that sitG2521 inG1722 darknessG4655 andG2532 in the shadowG4639 of deathG2288, to guideG2720 ourG2257 feetG4228 intoG1519 the wayG3598 of peaceG1515.
AndG1161 the childG3813 grewG837, andG2532 waxed strongG2901 in spiritG4151, andG2532 wasG2258 inG1722 the desertsG2048 tillG2193 the dayG2250 of hisG846 shewingG323 untoG4314 IsraelG2474.
GodG2316, who at sundry timesG4181 andG2532 in divers mannersG4187 spakeG2980 in time pastG3819 unto the fathersG3962 byG1722 the prophetsG4396,
For unto us a childH3206 is bornH3205, unto us a sonH1121 is givenH5414: and the governmentH4951 shall be upon his shoulderH7926: and his nameH8034 shall be calledH7121 WonderfulH6382, CounsellorH3289, The mightyH1368 GodH410, The everlastingH5703 FatherH1, The PrinceH8269 of PeaceH7965.
Who hath believedH539 our reportH8052? and to whom is the armH2220 of the LORDH3068 revealedH1540? {report: or, doctrine?: Heb. hearing?}
For he shall grow upH5927 beforeH6440 him as a tender plantH3126, and as a rootH8328 out of a dryH6723 groundH776: he hath no formH8389 nor comelinessH1926; and when we shall seeH7200 him, there is no beautyH4758 that we should desireH2530 him.
He is despisedH959 and rejectedH2310 of menH376; a manH376 of sorrowsH4341, and acquaintedH3045 with griefH2483: and we hid as it wereH4564 our facesH6440 from him; he was despisedH959, and we esteemedH2803 him not. {we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}
SurelyH403 he hath borneH5375 our griefsH2483, and carriedH5445 our sorrowsH4341: yet we did esteemH2803 him strickenH5060, smittenH5221 of GodH430, and afflictedH6031.
But he was woundedH2490 for our transgressionsH6588, he was bruisedH1792 for our iniquitiesH5771: the chastisementH4148 of our peaceH7965 was upon him; and with his stripesH2250 we are healedH7495. {wounded: or, tormented} {stripes: Heb. bruise}
All we like sheepH6629 have gone astrayH8582; we have turnedH6437 every oneH376 to his own wayH1870; and the LORDH3068 hath laidH6293 on him the iniquityH5771 of us all. {laid…: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him}
He was oppressedH5065, and he was afflictedH6031, yet he openedH6605 not his mouthH6310: he is broughtH2986 as a lambH7716 to the slaughterH2874, and as a sheepH7353 beforeH6440 her shearersH1494 is dumbH481, so he openethH6605 not his mouthH6310.
He was takenH3947 from prisonH6115 and from judgmentH4941: and who shall declareH7878 his generationH1755? for he was cut offH1504 out of the landH776 of the livingH2416: for the transgressionH6588 of my peopleH5971 was he strickenH5061. {from prison…: or, he was taken away by distress and judgment: but, etc} {was he…: Heb. was the stroke upon him}
And he madeH5414 his graveH6913 with the wickedH7563, and with the richH6223 in his deathH4194; because he had doneH6213 no violenceH2555, neither was any deceitH4820 in his mouthH6310. {death: Heb. deaths}
Yet it pleasedH2654 the LORDH3068 to bruiseH1792 him; he hath put him to griefH2470: when thou shalt makeH7760 his soulH5315 an offering for sinH817, he shall seeH7200 his seedH2233, he shall prolongH748 his daysH3117, and the pleasureH2656 of the LORDH3068 shall prosperH6743 in his handH3027. {thou…: or, his soul shall make an offering}
He shall seeH7200 of the travailH5999 of his soulH5315, and shall be satisfiedH7646: by his knowledgeH1847 shall my righteousH6662 servantH5650 justifyH6663 manyH7227; for he shall bearH5445 their iniquitiesH5771.
Therefore will I divideH2505 him a portion with the greatH7227, and he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998 with the strongH6099; because he hath poured outH6168 his soulH5315 unto deathH4194: and he was numberedH4487 with the transgressorsH6586; and he bareH5375 the sinH2399 of manyH7227, and made intercessionH6293 for the transgressorsH6586.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, In an acceptableH7522 timeH6256 have I heardH6030 thee, and in a dayH3117 of salvationH3444 have I helpedH5826 thee: and I will preserveH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, to establishH6965 the earthH776, to cause to inheritH5157 the desolateH8074 heritagesH5159; {establish: or, raise up}
That thou mayest sayH559 to the prisonersH631, Go forthH3318; to them that are in darknessH2822, ShewH1540 yourselves. They shall feedH7462 in the waysH1870, and their pasturesH4830 shall be in all high placesH8205.
They shall not hungerH7456 nor thirstH6770; neither shall the heatH8273 nor sunH8121 smiteH5221 them: for he that hath mercyH7355 on them shall leadH5090 them, even by the springsH4002 of waterH4325 shall he guideH5095 them.
And I will makeH7760 all my mountainsH2022 a wayH1870, and my highwaysH4546 shall be exaltedH7311.
Behold, these shall comeH935 from farH7350: and, lo, these from the northH6828 and from the westH3220; and these from the landH776 of SinimH5515.
FearH3372 not: for I am with thee: I will bringH935 thy seedH2233 from the eastH4217, and gatherH6908 thee from the westH4628;
I will sayH559 to the northH6828, Give upH5414; and to the southH8486, Keep not backH3607: bringH935 my sonsH1121 from farH7350, and my daughtersH1323 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776;
Even every oneH3605 that is calledH7121 by my nameH8034: for I have createdH1254 him for my gloryH3519, I have formedH3335 him; yea, I have madeH6213 him.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 shall beat offH2251 from the channelH7641 of the riverH5104 unto the streamH5158 of EgyptH4714, and ye shall be gatheredH3950 oneH259 by oneH259, O ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
The burdenH4853 of BabylonH894, which IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 did seeH2372.
Lift ye upH5375 a bannerH5251 upon the highH8192 mountainH2022, exaltH7311 the voiceH6963 unto them, shakeH5130 the handH3027, that they may goH935 into the gatesH6607 of the noblesH5081.
I have commandedH6680 my sanctified onesH6942, I have also calledH7121 my mighty onesH1368 for mine angerH639, even them that rejoiceH5947 in my highnessH1346.
The noiseH6963 of a multitudeH1995 in the mountainsH2022, like asH1823 of a greatH7227 peopleH5971; a tumultuousH7588 noiseH6963 of the kingdomsH4467 of nationsH1471 gathered togetherH622: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 musterethH6485 the hostH6635 of the battleH4421. {like…: Heb. the likeness of}
They comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, from the endH7097 of heavenH8064, even the LORDH3068, and the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195, to destroyH2254 the whole landH776.
HowlH3213 ye; for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138; it shall comeH935 as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706.
Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503, and every man'sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549: {be faint: or, fall down}
And they shall be afraidH926: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270 of them; they shall be in painH2342 as a woman that travailethH3205: they shall be amazedH8539 oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851. {be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one…: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, cruelH394 both with wrathH5678 and fierceH2740 angerH639, to layH7760 the landH776 desolateH8047: and he shall destroyH8045 the sinnersH2400 thereof out of it.
For the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 and the constellationsH3685 thereof shall not giveH1984 their lightH216: the sunH8121 shall be darkenedH2821 in his going forthH3318, and the moonH3394 shall not cause her lightH216 to shineH5050.
And I will punishH6485 the worldH8398 for their evilH7451, and the wickedH7563 for their iniquityH5771; and I will cause the arrogancyH1347 of the proudH2086 to ceaseH7673, and will lay lowH8213 the haughtinessH1346 of the terribleH6184.
I will make a manH582 more preciousH3365 than fine goldH6337; even a manH120 than the golden wedgeH3800 of OphirH211.
Therefore I will shakeH7264 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 shall removeH7493 out of her placeH4725, in the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639.
And it shall be as the chasedH5080 roeH6643, and as a sheepH6629 that no man taketh upH6908: they shall every manH376 turnH6437 to his own peopleH5971, and fleeH5127 every oneH376 into his own landH776.
Every one that is foundH4672 shall be thrust throughH1856; and every one that is joinedH5595 unto them shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719.
Their childrenH5768 also shall be dashed to piecesH7376 before their eyesH5869; their housesH1004 shall be spoiledH8155, and their wivesH802 ravishedH7901+H7693.
Behold, I will stir upH5782 the MedesH4074 against them, which shall not regardH2803 silverH3701; and as for goldH2091, they shall not delightH2654 in it.
Their bowsH7198 also shall dashH7376 the young menH5288 to piecesH7376; and they shall have no pityH7355 on the fruitH6529 of the wombH990; their eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347 childrenH1121.
And BabylonH894, the gloryH6643 of kingdomsH4467, the beautyH8597 of the Chaldees'H3778 excellencyH1347, shall be as when GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017. {as…: Heb. as the overthrowing}
It shall neverH5331 be inhabitedH3427, neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755: neither shall the ArabianH6163 pitch tentH167 there; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 make their foldH7257 there.
But wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall lieH7257 there; and their housesH1004 shall be fullH4390 of doleful creaturesH255; and owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH7931 there, and satyrsH8163 shall danceH7540 there. {wild…: Heb. Ziim} {doleful…: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
And the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall cryH6030 in their desolate housesH490, and dragonsH8577 in their pleasantH6027 palacesH1964: and her timeH6256 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and her daysH3117 shall not be prolongedH4900. {the wild…: Heb. Iim} {desolate…: or, palaces}
The SpiritH7307 of the LordH136 GODH3069 is upon me; because the LORDH3068 hath anointedH4886 me to preach good tidingsH1319 unto the meekH6035; he hath sentH7971 me to bind upH2280 the brokenheartedH7665+H3820, to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 to the captivesH7617, and the opening of the prisonH6495 to them that are boundH631;
To proclaimH7121 the acceptableH7522 yearH8141 of the LORDH3068, and the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 of our GodH430; to comfortH5162 all that mournH57;
To appointH7760 unto them that mournH57 in ZionH6726, to giveH5414 unto them beautyH6287 for ashesH665, the oilH8081 of joyH8342 for mourningH60, the garmentH4594 of praiseH8416 for the spiritH7307 of heavinessH3544; that they might be calledH7121 treesH352 of righteousnessH6664, the plantingH4302 of the LORDH3068, that he might be glorifiedH6286.
OfG4012 whichG3739 salvationG4991 the prophetsG4396 have enquiredG1567 andG2532 searched diligentlyG1830, whoG3588 prophesiedG4395 ofG4012 the graceG5485 that should come untoG1519 youG5209:
SearchingG2045 whatG1519+G5101, orG2228 what mannerG4169 of timeG2540 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 whichG3588 was inG1722 themG846 did signifyG1213, when it testified beforehandG4303 the sufferingsG3804 ofG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 the gloryG1391 that should followG3326+G5023.
Unto whomG3739 it was revealedG601, thatG3754 notG3756 unto themselvesG1438, butG1161 unto usG2254 they did ministerG1247 the thingsG846, whichG3739 areG312 nowG3568 reportedG312 unto youG5213 byG1223 them that have preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 sent downG649 fromG575 heavenG3772; which thingsG3739 the angelsG32 desireG1937 to lookG3879 intoG1519.
SearchingG2045 whatG1519+G5101, orG2228 what mannerG4169 of timeG2540 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 whichG3588 was inG1722 themG846 did signifyG1213, when it testified beforehandG4303 the sufferingsG3804 ofG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 the gloryG1391 that should followG3326+G5023.
ThenG2532 heG846 saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, OG5599 foolsG453, andG2532 slowG1021 of heartG2588 to believeG4100+G1909 allG3956 thatG3739 the prophetsG4396 have spokenG2980:
IfG1489 ye have heardG191 of the dispensationG3622 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 meG3427 toG1519 you-wardG5209:
How thatG3754 byG2596 revelationG602 he made knownG1107 unto meG3427 the mysteryG3466; (asG2531 I wrote aforeG4270 inG1722 few wordsG3641, {afore…: or, a little before}
WherebyG4314+G3739, when ye readG314, ye mayG1410 understandG3539 myG3450 knowledgeG4907 inG1722 the mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547)
WhichG3739 inG1722 otherG2087 agesG1074 wasG1107 notG3756 made knownG1107 unto the sonsG5207 of menG444, asG5613 it isG601 nowG3568 revealedG601 unto hisG846 holyG40 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396 byG1722 the SpiritG4151;
That the GentilesG1484 should beG1511 fellowheirsG4789, andG2532 of the same bodyG4954, andG2532 partakersG4830 of hisG846 promiseG1860 inG1722 ChristG5547 byG1223 the gospelG2098:
WhereofG3739 I was madeG1096 a ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 givenG1325 unto meG3427 byG2596 the effectual workingG1753 of hisG846 powerG1411.
Unto meG1698, who am less than the leastG1647 of allG3956 saintsG40, isG1325 thisG3778 graceG5485 givenG1325, that I should preachG2097 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 the unsearchableG421 richesG4149 of ChristG5547;
AndG2532 to makeG5461 allG3956 men seeG5461 whatG5101 is the fellowshipG2842 of the mysteryG3466, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165 hath been hidG613 inG1722 GodG2316, whoG3588 createdG2936 all thingsG3956 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
To the intent thatG2443 nowG3568 unto the principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places might be knownG1107 byG1223 the churchG1577 the manifoldG4182 wisdomG4678 of GodG2316,
Even the mysteryG3466 whichG3588 hath been hidG613 fromG575 agesG165 andG2532 fromG575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 to hisG846 saintsG40:
NowG1161 to him that is of powerG1410 to stablishG4741 youG5209 accordingG2596 to myG3450 gospelG2098, andG2532 the preachingG2782 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, accordingG2596 to the revelationG602 of the mysteryG3466, which was kept secretG4601 since the world beganG5550+G166,
ForG1063 verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 manyG4183 prophetsG4396 andG2532 righteousG1342 men have desiredG1937 to seeG1492 those things whichG3739 ye seeG991, andG2532 haveG1492 notG3756 seenG1492 them; andG2532 to hearG191 those things whichG3739 ye hearG191, andG2532 haveG191 notG3756 heardG191 them.
For, behold, I createH1254 newH2319 heavensH8064 and a newH2319 earthH776: and the formerH7223 shall not be rememberedH2142, nor comeH5927 into mindH3820. {come…: Heb. come upon the heart}
For as the newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earthH776, which I will makeH6213, shall remainH5975 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, so shall your seedH2233 and your nameH8034 remainH5975.
AndG2532 he laid hold onG2902 the dragonG1404, that oldG744 serpentG3789, whichG3739 isG2076 the DevilG1228, andG2532 SatanG4567, andG2532 boundG1210 himG846 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094,
AndG2532 I sawG1492 a newG2537 heavenG3772 andG2532 a newG2537 earthG1093: forG1063 the firstG4413 heavenG3772 andG2532 the firstG4413 earthG1093 were passed awayG3928; andG2532 there wasG2076 noG3756 moreG2089 seaG2281.
AndG2532 there shall beG2071 noG3756 nightG3571 thereG1563; andG2532 they needG5532 noG3756 candleG3088+G2192, neitherG2532 lightG5457 of the sunG2246; forG3754 the LordG2962 GodG2316 givethG5461 themG846 lightG5461: andG2532 they shall reignG936 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 they went upG305 onG1909 the breadthG4114 of the earthG1093, andG2532 compassedG2944 the campG3925 of the saintsG40 aboutG2944, andG2532 the belovedG25 cityG4172: andG2532 fireG4442 came downG2597 fromG575 GodG2316 out ofG1537 heavenG3772, andG2532 devouredG2719 themG846.
AndG2532 the devilG1228 that deceivedG4105 themG846 was castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303, whereG3699 the beastG2342 andG2532 the false prophetG5578 are, andG2532 shall be tormentedG928 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 a greatG3173 whiteG3022 throneG2362, andG2532 him that satG2521 onG1909 itG846, fromG575 whoseG3739 faceG4383 the earthG1093 andG2532 the heavenG3772 fled awayG5343; andG2532 there was foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 for themG846.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the deadG3498, smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, standG2476 beforeG1799 GodG2316; andG2532 the booksG975 were openedG455: andG2532 anotherG243 bookG975 was openedG455, whichG3739 isG2076 the book of lifeG2222: andG2532 the deadG3498 were judgedG2919 out ofG1537 those things which were writtenG1125 inG1722 the booksG975, according toG2596 theirG846 worksG2041.
AndG2532 the seaG2281 gave upG1325 the deadG3498 whichG3588 were inG1722 itG846; andG2532 deathG2288 andG2532 hellG86 delivered upG1325 the deadG3498 whichG3588 were inG1722 themG846: andG2532 they were judgedG2919 every manG1538 according toG2596 theirG846 worksG2041. {hell: or, the grave}
AndG2532 deathG2288 andG2532 hellG86 were castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442. ThisG3778 isG2076 the secondG1208 deathG2288.
AndG2532 whosoeverG1536 wasG2147 notG3756 foundG2147 writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of lifeG2222 was castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442.
For, behold, I createH1254 newH2319 heavensH8064 and a newH2319 earthH776: and the formerH7223 shall not be rememberedH2142, nor comeH5927 into mindH3820. {come…: Heb. come upon the heart}
ForG1063 verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 manyG4183 prophetsG4396 andG2532 righteousG1342 men have desiredG1937 to seeG1492 those things whichG3739 ye seeG991, andG2532 haveG1492 notG3756 seenG1492 them; andG2532 to hearG191 those things whichG3739 ye hearG191, andG2532 haveG191 notG3756 heardG191 them.
The PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532 with the SadduceesG4523 cameG4334, andG2532 temptingG3985 desiredG1905 himG846 that he would shewG1925 themG846 a signG4592 fromG1537 heavenG3772.
He answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, When it isG1096 eveningG3798, ye sayG3004, It will be fair weatherG2105: forG1063 the skyG3772 is redG4449.
AndG2532 in the morningG4404, It will be foul weatherG5494 to dayG4594: forG1063 the skyG3772 is redG4449 and lowringG4768. O ye hypocritesG5273, ye canG1097 discernG1252+G3303 the faceG4383 of the skyG3772; butG1161 can yeG1410 notG3756 discern the signsG4592 of the timesG2540?
A wickedG4190 andG2532 adulterousG3428 generationG1074 seeketh afterG1934 a signG4592; andG2532 there shall noG3756 signG4592 be givenG1325 unto itG846, butG1508 the signG4592 of the prophetG4396 JonasG2495. AndG2532 he leftG2641 themG846, and departedG565.
AndG2532 when hisG846 disciplesG3101 were comeG2064 toG1519 the other sideG4008, they had forgottenG1950 to takeG2983 breadG740.
ThenG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, Take heedG3708 andG2532 bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523.
AndG1161 they reasonedG1260 amongG1722 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, It is becauseG3754 we have takenG2983 noG3756 breadG740.
Which whenG1161 JesusG2424 perceivedG1097, he saidG2036 unto themG846, O ye of little faithG3640, whyG5101 reason yeG1260 amongG1722 yourselvesG1438, becauseG3754 ye have broughtG2983 noG3756 breadG740?
Do yeG3539 not yetG3768 understandG3539, neitherG3761 rememberG3421 the fiveG4002 loavesG740 of the five thousandG4000, andG2532 how manyG4214 basketsG2894 ye took upG2983?
NeitherG3761 the sevenG2033 loavesG740 of the four thousandG5070, andG2532 how manyG4214 basketsG4711 ye took upG2983?
HowG4459 is it thatG3754 ye doG3539 notG3756 understandG3539 that I spakeG2036 it notG3756 to youG5213 concerningG4012 breadG740, that ye should bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523?
ThenG5119 understood theyG4920 how thatG3754 he badeG2036 them notG3756 bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of breadG740, butG235 ofG575 the doctrineG1322 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523.
WhenG1161 JesusG2424 cameG2064 intoG1519 the coastsG3313 of CaesareaG2542 PhilippiG5376, he askedG2065 hisG846 disciplesG3101, sayingG3004, WhomG5101 do menG444 sayG3004 that IG3165 the SonG5207 of manG444 amG1511?
AndG1161 they saidG2036, Some say that thou artG3303 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910+G1161: someG243, EliasG2243; andG1161 othersG2087, JeremiasG2408, orG2228 oneG1520 of the prophetsG4396.
He saithG3004 unto themG846, ButG1161 whomG5101 sayG3004 yeG5210 that IG3165 amG1511?
AndG1161 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 and saidG2036, ThouG4771 artG1488 the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto himG846, BlessedG3107 art thouG1488, SimonG4613 BarjonaG920: forG3754 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129 hathG601 notG3756 revealedG601 it unto theeG4671, butG235 myG3450 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772.
AndG1161 I sayG3004 alsoG2504 unto theeG4671, ThatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 PeterG4074, andG2532 uponG1909 thisG5026 rockG4073 I will buildG3618 myG3450 churchG1577; andG2532 the gatesG4439 of hellG86 shallG2729 notG3756 prevail againstG2729 itG846. {Peter: this name signifies a rock}
AndG2532 I will giveG1325 unto theeG4671 the keysG2807 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772: andG2532 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou shalt bindG1210 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 boundG1210 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou shalt looseG3089 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 loosedG3089 inG1722 heavenG3772.
ThenG5119 charged heG1291 hisG846 disciplesG3101 thatG2443 they should tellG2036 no manG3367 thatG3754 heG846 wasG2076 JesusG2424 the ChristG5547.
FromG575 that time forthG5119 beganG756 JesusG2424 to shewG1166 unto hisG846 disciplesG3101, how thatG3754 heG846 mustG1163 goG565 untoG1519 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 sufferG3958 many thingsG4183 ofG575 the eldersG4245 andG2532 chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122, andG2532 be killedG615, andG2532 be raised againG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250.
ThenG2532 PeterG4074 tookG4355 himG846, and beganG756 to rebukeG2008 himG846, sayingG3004, Be it farG2436 from theeG4671, LordG2962: thisG5124 shallG2071 notG3364 beG2071 unto theeG4671. {Be…: Gr. Pity thyself}
ButG1161 he turnedG4762, and saidG2036 unto PeterG4074, Get theeG5217 behindG3694 meG3450, SatanG4567: thouG1488 artG3754 an offenceG4625 unto meG3450: for thou savourestG5426 notG3756 the thingsG3588 that be of GodG2316, butG235 those that be of menG444.
ThenG5119 saidG2036 JesusG2424 unto hisG846 disciplesG3101, If anyG1536 man willG2309 comeG2064 afterG3694 meG3450, let him denyG533 himselfG1438, andG2532 take upG142 hisG846 crossG4716, andG2532 followG190 meG3427.
ForG1063 whosoeverG3739+G302 willG2309 saveG4982 hisG846 lifeG5590 shall loseG622 itG846: andG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 will loseG622 hisG846 lifeG5590 forG1752 myG1700 sakeG1752 shall findG2147 itG846.
ForG1063 whatG5101 is a manG444 profitedG5623, ifG1437 he shall gainG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, andG1161 loseG2210 his ownG846 soulG5590? orG2228 whatG5101 shall a manG444 giveG1325 in exchangeG465 for hisG846 soulG5590?
ForG1063 the SonG5207 of manG444 shallG3195 comeG2064 inG1722 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 FatherG3962 withG3326 hisG846 angelsG32; andG2532 thenG5119 he shall rewardG591 every manG1538 accordingG2596 to hisG846 worksG4234.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, There beG1526 someG5100 standingG2476 hereG5602, whichG3748 shallG1089 notG3364 tasteG1089 of deathG2288, tillG302+G2193 they seeG1492 the SonG5207 of manG444 comingG2064 inG1722 hisG846 kingdomG932.
I will standH5975 upon my watchH4931, and setH3320 me upon the towerH4692, and will watchH6822 to seeH7200 what he will sayH1696 unto me, and what I shall answerH7725 when I am reprovedH8433. {tower: Heb. fenced place} {unto me: or, in me} {when…: or, when I am argued with: Heb. upon my reproof, or, arguing}
And he criedH7121, A lionH738: My lordH136, I standH5975 continuallyH8548 upon the watchtowerH4707 in the daytimeH3119, and I am setH5324 in my wardH4931 whole nightsH3915: {he…: or, cried as a lion} {whole…: or, every night}
Also I setH6965 watchmenH6822 over you, saying, HearkenH7181 to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782. But they saidH559, We will not hearkenH7181.
SonH1121 of manH120, I have madeH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and give them warningH2094 from me.
For the idolsH8655 have spokenH1696 vanityH205, and the divinersH7080 have seenH2372 a lieH8267, and have toldH1696 falseH7723 dreamsH2472; they comfortH5162 in vainH1892: therefore they wentH5265 their way as a flockH6629, they were troubledH6031, because there was no shepherdH7462. {idols: Heb. teraphims} {were…: or, answered that, etc}
And he shewedH7200 me JoshuaH3091 the highH1419 priestH3548 standingH5975 beforeH6440 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, and SatanH7854 standingH5975 at his right handH3225 to resistH7853 him. {Satan: that is, an adversary} {to…: Heb. to be his adversary}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, The LORDH3068 rebukeH1605 thee, O SatanH7854; even the LORDH3068 that hath chosenH977 JerusalemH3389 rebukeH1605 thee: is not this a brandH181 pluckedH5337 out of the fireH784?
Now JoshuaH3091 was clothedH3847 with filthyH6674 garmentsH899, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the angelH4397.
And he answeredH6030 and spakeH559 unto those that stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him, sayingH559, Take awayH5493 the filthyH6674 garmentsH899 from him. And unto him he saidH559, BeholdH7200, I have caused thine iniquityH5771 to passH5674 from thee, and I will clotheH3847 thee with change of raimentH4254.
And I saidH559, Let them setH7760 a fairH2889 mitreH6797 upon his headH7218. So they setH7760 a fairH2889 mitreH6797 upon his headH7218, and clothedH3847 him with garmentsH899. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 stood byH5975.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 protestedH5749 unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; If thou wilt walkH3212 in my waysH1870, and if thou wilt keepH8104 my chargeH4931, then thou shalt also judgeH1777 my houseH1004, and shalt also keepH8104 my courtsH2691, and I will giveH5414 thee places to walkH4108 among these that stand byH5975. {charge: or, ordinance} {places…: Heb. walks}
HearH8085 now, O JoshuaH3091 the highH1419 priestH3548, thou, and thy fellowsH7453 that sitH3427 beforeH6440 thee: for they are menH582 wondered atH4159: for, behold, I will bring forthH935 my servantH5650 the BRANCHH6780. {wondered…: Heb. of wonder, or, sign}
For behold the stoneH68 that I have laidH5414 beforeH6440 JoshuaH3091; upon oneH259 stoneH68 shall be sevenH7651 eyesH5869: behold, I will engraveH6605 the gravingH6603 thereof, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will removeH4185 the iniquityH5771 of that landH776 in oneH259 dayH3117.
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall ye callH7121 every manH376 his neighbourH7453 under the vineH1612 and under the fig treeH8384.
There is a voiceH6963 of the howlingH3215 of the shepherdsH7462; for their gloryH155 is spoiledH7703: a voiceH6963 of the roaringH7581 of young lionsH3715; for the prideH1347 of JordanH3383 is spoiledH7703.
SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 against the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478, prophesyH5012, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto the shepherdsH7462; WoeH1945 be to the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478 that do feedH7462 themselves! should not the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 the flocksH6629?
PrepareH6186 the tableH7979, watchH6822 in the watchtowerH6844, eatH398, drinkH8354: ariseH6965, ye princesH8269, and anointH4886 the shieldH4043.
For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto me, GoH3212, setH5975 a watchmanH6822, let him declareH5046 what he seethH7200.
And he sawH7200 a chariotH7393 with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571, a chariotH7393 of assesH2543, and a chariotH7393 of camelsH1581; and he hearkenedH7181 diligentlyH7182 with muchH7227 heedH7182:
And he criedH7121, A lionH738: My lordH136, I standH5975 continuallyH8548 upon the watchtowerH4707 in the daytimeH3119, and I am setH5324 in my wardH4931 whole nightsH3915: {he…: or, cried as a lion} {whole…: or, every night}
And, behold, here comethH935 a chariotH7393 of menH376, with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571. And he answeredH6030 and saidH559, BabylonH894 is fallenH5307, is fallenH5307; and all the graven imagesH6456 of her godsH430 he hath brokenH7665 unto the groundH776.
O my threshingH4098, and the cornH1121 of my floorH1637: that which I have heardH8085 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, have I declaredH5046 unto you. {corn: Heb. son}
The burdenH4853 of DumahH1746. He callethH7121 to me out of SeirH8165, WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915? WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915?
The watchmanH8104 saidH559, The morningH1242 comethH857, and also the nightH3915: if ye will enquireH1158, enquireH1158 ye: returnH7725, comeH857.
Thy watchmenH6822 shall lift upH5375 the voiceH6963; with the voiceH6963 togetherH3162 shall they singH7442: for they shall seeH7200 eyeH5869 to eyeH5869, when the LORDH3068 shall bring againH7725 ZionH6726.
I have setH6485 watchmenH8104 upon thy wallsH2346, O JerusalemH3389, which shall neverH8548 hold their peaceH2814 dayH3117 nor nightH3915: ye that make mentionH2142 of the LORDH3068, keep not silenceH1824, {make…: or, are the LORD's remembrancers}
And it came to pass in the daysH3117 of AhazH271 the sonH1121 of JothamH3147, the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, went upH5927 toward JerusalemH3389 to warH4421 against it, but couldH3201 not prevailH3898 against it.
And it was toldH5046 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, sayingH559, SyriaH758 is confederateH5117 with EphraimH669. And his heartH3824 was movedH5128, and the heartH3824 of his peopleH5971, as the treesH6086 of the woodH3293 are movedH5128 withH6440 the windH7307. {is confederate…: Heb. resteth on}
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto IsaiahH3470, Go forthH3318 now to meetH7125 AhazH271, thou, and ShearjashubH7610 thy sonH1121, at the endH7097 of the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526 fieldH7704; {Shearjashub: that is, The remnant shall return} {highway: or, causeway}
And sayH559 unto him, Take heedH8104, and be quietH8252; fearH3372 not, neither be faintheartedH7401+H3824 for the twoH8147 tailsH2180 of these smokingH6226 firebrandsH181, for the fierceH2750 angerH639 of RezinH7526 with SyriaH758, and of the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425. {neither…: Heb. let not thy heart be tender}
Because SyriaH758, EphraimH669, and the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, have taken evilH7451 counselH3289 against thee, sayingH559,
Let us go upH5927 against JudahH3063, and vexH6973 it, and let us make a breachH1234 therein for us, and setH4427 a kingH4428 in the midstH8432 of it, even the sonH1121 of TabealH2870: {vex: or, waken}
ThusH3541 saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, It shall not standH6965, neither shall it come to pass.
For the headH7218 of SyriaH758 is DamascusH1834, and the headH7218 of DamascusH1834 is RezinH7526; and within threescoreH8346 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 shall EphraimH669 be brokenH2865, that it be not a peopleH5971. {that…: Heb. from a people}
And the headH7218 of EphraimH669 is SamariaH8111, and the headH7218 of SamariaH8111 is Remaliah'sH7425 sonH1121. If ye will not believeH539, surely ye shall not be establishedH539. {If…: or, Do ye not believe? it is because ye are not stable}
Moreover the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 againH3254 unto AhazH271, sayingH559, {Moreover…: Heb. And the LORD added to speak}
AskH7592 thee a signH226 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; askH7592 it either in the depthH6009, or in the heightH1361 aboveH4605. {ask it…: or, make thy petition deep}
But AhazH271 saidH559, I will not askH7592, neither will I temptH5254+H853 the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559, HearH8085 ye now, O houseH1004 of DavidH1732; Is it a small thingH4592 for you to wearyH3811 menH582, but will ye wearyH3811 my GodH430 also?
Therefore the LordH136 himself shall giveH5414 you a signH226; Behold, a virginH5959 shall conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shall callH7121 his nameH8034 ImmanuelH410+H6005. {shall call: or, thou, O virgin, shalt call}
ButterH2529 and honeyH1706 shall he eatH398, that he may knowH3045 to refuseH3988 the evilH7451, and chooseH977 the goodH2896.
For before the childH5288 shall knowH3045 to refuseH3988 the evilH7451, and chooseH977 the goodH2896, the landH127 that thou abhorrestH6973 shall beH6440 forsakenH5800 of bothH8147 her kingsH4428.
The LORDH3068 shall bringH935 upon thee, and upon thy peopleH5971, and upon thy father'sH1 houseH1004, daysH3117 that have not comeH935, from the dayH3117 that EphraimH669 departedH5493 from JudahH3063; even the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 shall hissH8319 for the flyH2070 that is in the uttermost partH7097 of the riversH2975 of EgyptH4714, and for the beeH1682 that is in the landH776 of AssyriaH804.
And they shall comeH935, and shall restH5117 all of them in the desolateH1327 valleysH5158, and in the holesH5357 of the rocksH5553, and upon all thornsH5285, and upon all bushesH5097. {bushes: or, commendable trees}
In the same dayH3117 shall the LordH136 shaveH1548 with a razorH8593 that is hiredH7917, namely, by them beyondH5676 the riverH5104, by the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, the headH7218, and the hairH8181 of the feetH7272: and it shall also consumeH5595 the beardH2206.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that a manH376 shall nourishH2421 a youngH1241 cowH5697, and twoH8147 sheepH6629;
And it shall come to pass, for the abundanceH7230 of milkH2461 that they shall giveH6213 he shall eatH398 butterH2529: for butterH2529 and honeyH1706 shall every one eatH398 that is leftH3498 inH7130 the landH776. {the land: Heb. the midst of the land}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that every placeH4725 shall be, where there were a thousandH505 vinesH1612 at a thousandH505 silverlingsH3701, it shall even be for briersH8068 and thornsH7898.
With arrowsH2671 and with bowsH7198 shall men comeH935 thither; because all the landH776 shall become briersH8068 and thornsH7898.
And on all hillsH2022 that shall be diggedH5737 with the mattockH4576, there shall not come thitherH935 the fearH3374 of briersH8068 and thornsH7898: but it shall be for the sending forthH4916 of oxenH7794, and for the treadingH4823 of lesser cattleH7716.
ButG1161 thouG4771, OG5599 manG444 of GodG2316, fleeG5343 these thingsG5023; andG1161 follow afterG1377 righteousnessG1343, godlinessG2150, faithG4102, loveG26, patienceG5281, meeknessG4236.
And, behold, there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 out of JudahH3063 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto BethelH1008: and JeroboamH3379 stoodH5975 by the altarH4196 to burn incenseH6999. {burn: or, offer}
ForG1063 the prophecyG4394 cameG5342 notG3756 in old timeG4218 by the willG2307 of manG444: butG235 holyG40 menG444 of GodG2316 spakeG2980 as they were movedG5342 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {in old time: or, at any time}
AndG1161 someG243 fellG4098 amongG1909 thornsG173; andG2532 the thornsG173 sprung upG305, andG2532 chokedG638 themG846:
Then MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, This is it that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696, sayingH559, I will be sanctifiedH6942 in them that come nighH7138 me, and beforeH6440 all the peopleH5971 I will be glorifiedH3513. And AaronH175 held his peaceH1826.
DepartH5493 ye, departH5493 ye, go ye outH3318 from thence, touchH5060 no uncleanH2931 thing; go ye outH3318 of the midstH8432 of her; be ye cleanH1305, that bearH5375 the vesselsH3627 of the LORDH3068.
HenceforthG3765 I callG3004 youG5209 notG3765 servantsG1401; forG3754 the servantG1401 knowethG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 hisG846 lordG2962 doethG4160: butG1161 I have calledG2046 youG5209 friendsG5384; forG3754 all thingsG3956 thatG3739 I have heardG191 ofG3844 myG3450 FatherG3962 I have made knownG1107 unto youG5213.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came expressly unto EzekielH3168 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of BuziH941, in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was there upon him. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}
BeholdG2400, a virginG3933 shall be with childG1722+G1064+G2192, andG2532 shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 they shall callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 EmmanuelG1694, whichG3739 being interpretedG3177 isG2076, GodG2316 withG3326 usG2257. {they…: or, his name shall be called}
When IsraelH3478 was a childH5288, then I lovedH157 him, and calledH7121 my sonH1121 out of EgyptH4714.
AndG2532 wasG2258 thereG1563 untilG2193 the deathG5054 of HerodG2264: thatG2443 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 ofG5259 the LordG2962 byG1223 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, Out ofG1537 EgyptG125 have I calledG2564 myG3450 sonG5207.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; A voiceH6963 was heardH8085 in RamahH7414, lamentationH5092, and bitterH8563 weepingH1065; RahelH7354 weepingH1058 for her childrenH1121 refusedH3985 to be comfortedH5162 for her childrenH1121, because they were not.
ThenG5119 was fulfilledG4137 that whichG3588 was spokenG4483 byG5259 JeremyG2408 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,
AtG1722 the sameG1565 timeG5610 cameG4334 the disciplesG3101 unto JesusG2424, sayingG3004, WhoG5101+G686 isG2076 the greatestG3187 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772?
AndG2532 JesusG2424 calledG4341 a little childG3813 unto himG4341, and setG2476 himG846 inG1722 the midstG3319 of themG846,
AndG2532 saidG2036, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ExceptG3362 ye be convertedG4762, andG2532 becomeG1096 asG5613 little childrenG3813, ye shallG1525 notG3364 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
WhosoeverG3748 thereforeG3767 shall humbleG5013 himselfG1438 asG5613 thisG5124 little childG3813, the sameG3778 isG2076 greatestG3187 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
AndG2532 whosoG3739+G1437 shall receiveG1209 oneG1520 suchG5108 little childG3813 inG1909 myG3450 nameG3686 receivethG1209 meG1691.
ButG1161 whosoG3739+G302 shall offendG4624 oneG1520 of theseG5130 little onesG3398 whichG3588 believeG4100 inG1519 meG1691, it were betterG4851 for himG846 thatG2443 a millstoneG3458+G3684 were hangedG2910 aboutG1909 hisG846 neckG5137, andG2532 that he were drownedG2670 inG1722 the depthG3989 of the seaG2281.
WoeG3759 unto the worldG2889 because ofG575 offencesG4625! forG1063 it must needsG318 beG2076 that offencesG4625 comeG2064; butG4133 woeG3759 to that manG444 byG1565 whomG1223+G3739 the offenceG4625 comethG2064!
WhereforeG1161 ifG1487 thyG4675 handG5495 orG2228 thyG4675 footG4228 offend theeG4624, cutG1581 themG846 offG1581, andG2532 castG906 them fromG575 theeG4571+G4675: it isG2076 betterG2570 for theeG4671 to enter intoG1525+G1519 lifeG2222 haltG5560 orG2228 maimedG2948, rather thanG2228 havingG2192 twoG1417 handsG5495 orG2228 twoG1417 feetG4228 to be castG906 intoG1519 everlastingG166 fireG4442.
AndG2532 ifG1487 thineG4675 eyeG3788 offendG4624 theeG4571, pluckG1807 itG846 outG1807, andG2532 castG906 it fromG575 theeG4675: it isG2076 betterG2570 for theeG4671 to enterG1525 intoG1519 lifeG2222 with one eyeG3442, rather thanG2228 havingG2192 twoG1417 eyesG3788 to be castG906 intoG1519 hellG1067 fireG4442.
Take heedG3708 that ye despiseG2706 notG3361 oneG1520 of theseG5130 little onesG3398; forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 inG1722 heavenG3772 theirG846 angelsG32 do alwaysG1223+G3956 beholdG991 the faceG4383 of myG3450 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772.
ForG1063 the SonG5207 of manG444 is comeG2064 to saveG4982 that whichG3588 was lostG622.
HowG5101 thinkG1380 yeG5213? ifG1437+G5100 a manG444 haveG1096 an hundredG1540 sheepG4263, andG2532 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 be gone astrayG4105, doth heG863 notG3780 leaveG863 the ninety and nineG1768, and goethG4198 intoG1909 the mountainsG3735, and seekethG2212 that whichG3588 is gone astrayG4105?
AndG2532 if soG1437 beG1096 that he findG2147 itG846, verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, he rejoicethG5463 moreG3123 ofG1909 thatG846 sheep, thanG2228 ofG1909 the ninety and nineG1768 whichG3588 wentG4105 notG3361 astrayG4105.
Even soG3779 it isG2076 notG3756 the willG2307 ofG1715 yourG5216 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772, thatG2443 oneG1520 of theseG5130 little onesG3398 should perishG622.
MoreoverG1161 ifG1437 thyG4675 brotherG80 shall trespassG264 againstG1519 theeG4571, goG5217 andG2532 tellG1651 himG846 his faultG1651 betweenG3342 theeG4675 andG2532 himG846 aloneG3441: ifG1437 he shall hearG191 theeG4675, thou hast gainedG2770 thyG4675 brotherG80.
ButG1161 ifG3362 he willG191 notG3362 hearG191 thee, then takeG3880 withG3326 theeG4675 oneG1520 orG2228 twoG1417 moreG2089, thatG2443 inG1909 the mouthG4750 of twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144 everyG3956 wordG4487 may be establishedG2476.
AndG1161 ifG1437 he shall neglect to hearG3878 themG846, tellG2036 it unto the churchG1577: butG1161+G2532 ifG1437 he neglect to hearG3878 the churchG1577, let him beG2077 unto theeG4671 asG5618 an heathen manG1482 andG2532 a publicanG5057.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, WhatsoeverG3745+G1437 ye shall bindG1210 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 boundG1210 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 whatsoeverG3745+G1437 ye shall looseG3089 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 loosedG3089 inG1722 heavenG3772.
AgainG3825 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 ifG1437 twoG1417 of youG5216 shall agreeG4856 onG1909 earthG1093 as touchingG4012 anyG3956 thingG4229 thatG3739+G1437 they shall askG154, it shall be doneG1096 for themG846 ofG3844 myG3450 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772.
ForG1063 whereG3757 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 areG1526 gathered togetherG4863 inG1519 myG1699 nameG3686, thereG1563 am IG1510 inG1722 the midstG3319 of themG846.
ThenG5119 cameG4334 PeterG4074 to himG846, and saidG2036, LordG2962, how oftG4212 shall myG3450 brotherG80 sinG264 againstG1519 meG1691, andG2532 I forgiveG863 himG846? tillG2193 seven timesG2034?
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, I sayG3004 notG3756 unto theeG4671, UntilG2193 seven timesG2034: butG235, UntilG2193 seventy timesG1441 sevenG2033.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 is the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 likenedG3666 unto a certainG444 kingG935, whichG3739 wouldG2309 takeG4868 accountG3056 ofG3326 hisG846 servantsG1401.
AndG1161 when heG846 had begunG756 to reckonG4868, oneG1520 was broughtG4374 unto himG846, which owedG3781 himG846 ten thousandG3463 talentsG5007. {talents: a talent is 750.ounces of silver, which after five shillings the ounce is 187.li. 10.s.}
But forasmuch asG1161 heG846 hadG2192 notG3361 to payG591, hisG846 lordG2962 commandedG2753 himG846 to be soldG4097, andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 childrenG5043, andG2532 allG3956 thatG3745 he hadG2192, andG2532 payment to be madeG591.
The servantG1401 thereforeG3767 fell downG4098, and worshippedG4352 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, have patienceG3114 withG1909 meG1698, andG2532 I will payG591 theeG4671 allG3956. {worshipped him: or, besought him}
ThenG1161 the lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 was moved with compassionG4697, and loosedG630 himG846, andG2532 forgaveG863 himG846 the debtG1156.
ButG1161 the sameG1565 servantG1401 went outG1831, and foundG2147 oneG1520 of hisG846 fellowservantsG4889, whichG3739 owedG3784 himG846 an hundredG1540 penceG1220: andG2532 he laid handsG2902 on himG846, and took him by the throatG4155, sayingG3004, PayG591 meG3427 thatG3748 thou owestG3784. {pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents}
AndG3767 hisG846 fellowservantG4889 fell downG4098 atG1519 hisG846 feetG4228, and besoughtG3870 himG846, sayingG3004, Have patienceG3114 withG1909 meG1698, andG2532 I will payG591 theeG4671 allG3956.
AndG1161 he wouldG2309 notG3756: butG235 wentG565 and castG906 himG846 intoG1519 prisonG5438, tillG2193+G3739 he should payG591 the debtG3784.
SoG1161 when hisG846 fellowservantsG4889 sawG1492 what was doneG1096, they were veryG4970 sorryG3076, andG2532 cameG2064 and toldG1285 unto theirG846 lordG2962 allG3956 that was doneG1096.
ThenG5119 hisG846 lordG2962, after that he had calledG4341 himG846, saidG3004 unto himG846, O thou wickedG4190 servantG1401, I forgaveG863 theeG4671 allG3956 thatG1565 debtG3782, becauseG1893 thou desiredstG3870 meG3165:
ShouldestG1163 notG3756 thouG4571 alsoG2532 have had compassionG1653 on thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, evenG2532 asG5613 IG1473 had pityG1653 on theeG4571?
AndG2532 hisG846 lordG2962 was wrothG3710, and deliveredG3860 himG846 to the tormentorsG930, tillG2193+G3739 he should payG591 allG3956 that was dueG3784 unto himG846.
SoG3779 likewise shall myG3450 heavenlyG2032 FatherG3962 doG4160 alsoG2532 unto youG5213, ifG3362 ye fromG575 yourG5216 heartsG2588 forgiveG863 notG3362 every oneG1538 hisG846 brotherG80 theirG846 trespassesG3900.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LordH136 shall setH3254 his handH3027 againH3254 the second timeH8145 to recoverH7069 the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, which shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804, and from EgyptH4714, and from PathrosH6624, and from CushH3568, and from ElamH5867, and from ShinarH8152, and from HamathH2574, and from the islandsH339 of the seaH3220.
And he shall set upH5375 an ensignH5251 for the nationsH1471, and shall assembleH622 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478, and gather togetherH6908 the dispersedH5310 of JudahH3063 from the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the earthH776. {corners: Heb. wings}
The envyH7068 also of EphraimH669 shall departH5493, and the adversariesH6887 of JudahH3063 shall be cut offH3772: EphraimH669 shall not envyH7065 JudahH3063, and JudahH3063 shall not vexH6887 EphraimH669.
But they shall flyH5774 upon the shouldersH3802 of the PhilistinesH6430 toward the westH3220; they shall spoilH962 themH1121 of the eastH6924 togetherH3162: they shall layH4916 their handH3027 upon EdomH123 and MoabH4124; and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 shall obeyH4928 them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay…: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey…: Heb. their obedience}
And the LORDH3068 shall utterly destroyH2763 the tongueH3956 of the EgyptianH4714 seaH3220; and with his mightyH5868 windH7307 shall he shakeH5130 his handH3027 over the riverH5104, and shall smiteH5221 it in the sevenH7651 streamsH5158, and make men go overH1869 dryshodH5275. {dryshod: Heb. in shoes}
And there shall be an highwayH4546 for the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, whichH834 shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804; like as it was to IsraelH3478 in the dayH3117 that he came upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
For, behold, I createH1254 newH2319 heavensH8064 and a newH2319 earthH776: and the formerH7223 shall not be rememberedH2142, nor comeH5927 into mindH3820. {come…: Heb. come upon the heart}
For as the newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earthH776, which I will makeH6213, shall remainH5975 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, so shall your seedH2233 and your nameH8034 remainH5975.
O thou afflictedH6041, tossed with tempestH5590, and not comfortedH5162, behold, I will layH7257 thy stonesH68 with fair coloursH6320, and lay thy foundationsH3245 with sapphiresH5601.
And in that dayH3117 thou shalt sayH559, O LORDH3068, I will praiseH3034 thee: though thou wast angryH599 with me, thine angerH639 is turned awayH7725, and thou comfortedstH5162 me.
Behold, GodH410 is my salvationH3444; I will trustH982, and not be afraidH6342: for the LORDH3050 JEHOVAHH3068 is my strengthH5797 and my songH2176; he also is become my salvationH3444.
Therefore with joyH8342 shall ye drawH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellsH4599 of salvationH3444.
And in that dayH3117 shall ye sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068, callH7121 upon his nameH8034, declareH3045 his doingsH5949 among the peopleH5971, make mentionH2142 that his nameH8034 is exaltedH7682. {call…: or, proclaim}
SingH2167 unto the LORDH3068; for he hath doneH6213 excellent thingsH1348: this is knownH3045+H3045 in all the earthH776.
Cry outH6670 and shoutH7442, thou inhabitantH3427 of ZionH6726: for greatH1419 is the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 in the midstH7130 of thee. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
AndG2532 I sawG1492 a newG2537 heavenG3772 andG2532 a newG2537 earthG1093: forG1063 the firstG4413 heavenG3772 andG2532 the firstG4413 earthG1093 were passed awayG3928; andG2532 there wasG2076 noG3756 moreG2089 seaG2281.
(BeforetimeH6440 in IsraelH3478, when a manH376 wentH3212 to enquireH1875 of GodH430, thus he spakeH559, ComeH3212, and let us goH3212 to the seerH7200: for he that is nowH3117 called a ProphetH5030 was beforetimeH6440 calledH7121 a SeerH7200.)
And it came to pass, when he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 unto SaulH7586, that the soulH5315 of JonathanH3083 was knitH7194 with the soulH5315 of DavidH1732, and JonathanH3083 lovedH157 him as his own soulH5315.
And SaulH7586 tookH3947 him that dayH3117, and would letH5414 him go no more homeH7725 to his father'sH1 houseH1004.
Then JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285, because he lovedH160 him as his own soulH5315.
And JonathanH3083 strippedH6584 himself of the robeH4598 that was upon him, and gaveH5414 it to DavidH1732, and his garmentsH4055, even to his swordH2719, and to his bowH7198, and to his girdleH2289.
And DavidH1732 went outH3318 whithersoever SaulH7586 sentH7971 him, and behaved himself wiselyH7919: and SaulH7586 setH7760 him over the menH582 of warH4421, and he was acceptedH3190 in the sightH5869 of all the peopleH5971, and also in the sightH5869 of Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650. {behaved…: or, prospered}
And it came to pass as they cameH935, when DavidH1732 was returnedH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of the PhilistineH6430, that the womenH802 came outH3318 of all citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, singingH7891 and dancingH4246, to meetH7125 kingH4428 SaulH7586, with tabretsH8596, with joyH8057, and with instrumentsH7991 of musick. {Philistine: or, Philistines} {instruments…: Heb. three stringed instruments}
And the womenH802 answeredH6030 one another as they playedH7832, and saidH559, SaulH7586 hath slainH5221 his thousandsH505, and DavidH1732 his ten thousandsH7233.
And SaulH7586 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and the sayingH1697 displeasedH3415+H5869 him; and he saidH559, They have ascribedH5414 unto DavidH1732 ten thousandsH7233, and to me they have ascribedH5414 but thousandsH505: and what can he have more but the kingdomH4410? {displeased him: Heb. was evil in his eyes}
And SaulH7586 eyedH5770 DavidH1732 from that dayH3117 and forwardH1973.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 cameH6743 upon SaulH7586, and he prophesiedH5012 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027, as at other timesH3117: and there was a javelinH2595 in Saul'sH7586 handH3027.
And SaulH7586 castH2904 the javelinH2595; for he saidH559, I will smiteH5221 DavidH1732 even to the wallH7023 with it. And DavidH1732 avoided outH5437 of his presenceH6440 twiceH6471.
And SaulH7586 was afraidH3372 ofH6440 DavidH1732, because the LORDH3068 was with him, and was departedH5493 from SaulH7586.
Therefore SaulH7586 removedH5493 him from him, and madeH7760 him his captainH8269 over a thousandH505; and he went outH3318 and came inH935 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
And DavidH1732 behaved himself wiselyH7919 in all his waysH1870; and the LORDH3068 was with him. {behaved…: or, prospered}
Wherefore when SaulH7586 sawH7200 that he behavedH7919 himself veryH3966 wiselyH7919, he was afraidH1481 ofH6440 him.
But all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 lovedH157 DavidH1732, because he went outH3318 and came inH935 beforeH6440 them.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Behold my elderH1419 daughterH1323 MerabH4764, her will I giveH5414 thee to wifeH802: only be thou valiantH1121+H2428 for me, and fightH3898 the LORD'SH3068 battlesH4421. For SaulH7586 saidH559, Let not mine handH3027 be upon him, but let the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 be upon him. {valiant: Heb. a son of valour}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Who am I? and what is my lifeH2416, or my father'sH1 familyH4940 in IsraelH3478, that I should be son in lawH2860 to the kingH4428?
But it came to pass at the timeH6256 when MerabH4764 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 should have been givenH5414 to DavidH1732, that she was givenH5414 unto AdrielH5741 the MeholathiteH4259 to wifeH802.
And MichalH4324 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 DavidH1732: and they toldH5046 SaulH7586, and the thingH1697 pleasedH3474+H5869 him. {pleased him: Heb. was right in his eyes}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, I will giveH5414 him her, that she may be a snareH4170 to him, and that the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 may be against him. Wherefore SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou shalt this dayH3117 be my son in lawH2859 in the one of the twainH8147.
And SaulH7586 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650, saying, CommuneH1696 with DavidH1732 secretlyH3909, and sayH559, Behold, the kingH4428 hath delightH2654 in thee, and all his servantsH5650 loveH157 thee: now therefore be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859.
And Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650 spakeH1696 those wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 saidH559, SeemethH5869 it to you a lightH7043 thing to be a king'sH4428 son in lawH2859, seeing that I am a poorH7326 manH376, and lightly esteemedH7034?
And the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, On this mannerH1697 spakeH1696 DavidH1732. {On…: Heb. According to these words}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, Thus shall ye sayH559 to DavidH1732, The kingH4428 desirethH2656 not any dowryH4119, but an hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430, to be avengedH5358 of the king'sH4428 enemiesH341. But SaulH7586 thoughtH2803 to make DavidH1732 fallH5307 by the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And when his servantsH5650 toldH5046 DavidH1732 these wordsH1697, it pleasedH3474+H1697+H5869 DavidH1732 well to be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859: and the daysH3117 were not expiredH4390. {expired: Heb. fulfilled}
Wherefore DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and wentH3212, he and his menH582, and slewH5221 of the PhilistinesH6430 two hundredH3967 menH376; and DavidH1732 broughtH935 their foreskinsH6190, and they gave them in full taleH4390 to the kingH4428, that he might be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859. And SaulH7586 gaveH5414 him MichalH4324 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802.
And SaulH7586 sawH7200 and knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 was with DavidH1732, and that MichalH4324 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 him.
And SaulH7586 was yet the moreH3254 afraidH3372 ofH6440 DavidH1732; and SaulH7586 became David'sH1732 enemyH341 continuallyH3117.
Then the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 went forthH3318: and it came to pass, afterH1767 they went forthH3318, that DavidH1732 behaved himself more wiselyH7919 than all the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586; so that his nameH8034 was muchH3966 set byH3365. {set by: Heb. precious}
All these which were chosenH1305 to be portersH7778 in the gatesH5592 were two hundredH3967 and twelveH8147+H6240. These were reckoned by their genealogyH3187 in their villagesH2691, whomH1992 DavidH1732 and SamuelH8050 the seerH7200 did ordainH3245 in their set officeH530. {did…: Heb. founded} {set…: or, trust}
Which sayH559 to the seersH7200, SeeH7200 not; and to the prophetsH2374, ProphesyH2372 not unto us right thingsH5229, speakH1696 unto us smooth thingsH2513, prophesyH2372 deceitsH4123:
The SpiritH7307 of the LordH136 GODH3069 is upon me; because the LORDH3068 hath anointedH4886 me to preach good tidingsH1319 unto the meekH6035; he hath sentH7971 me to bind upH2280 the brokenheartedH7665+H3820, to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 to the captivesH7617, and the opening of the prisonH6495 to them that are boundH631;
To proclaimH7121 the acceptableH7522 yearH8141 of the LORDH3068, and the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 of our GodH430; to comfortH5162 all that mournH57;
To appointH7760 unto them that mournH57 in ZionH6726, to giveH5414 unto them beautyH6287 for ashesH665, the oilH8081 of joyH8342 for mourningH60, the garmentH4594 of praiseH8416 for the spiritH7307 of heavinessH3544; that they might be calledH7121 treesH352 of righteousnessH6664, the plantingH4302 of the LORDH3068, that he might be glorifiedH6286.
The SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is uponG1909 meG1691, becauseG1752 he hath anointedG5548 meG3165 to preach the gospelG2097 to the poorG4434; he hath sentG649 meG3165 to healG2390 the brokenheartedG4937+G2588, to preachG2784 deliveranceG859 to the captivesG164, andG2532 recovering of sightG309 to the blindG5185, to setG649 atG1722 libertyG859 them that are bruisedG2352,
AndG2532 Jesus enteredG1525 and passed throughG1330 JerichoG2410.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, there was a manG435 namedG3686+G2564 ZacchaeusG2195, whichG2532+G846 wasG2258 the chief among the publicansG754, andG2532 heG3778 wasG2258 richG4145.
AndG2532 he soughtG2212 to seeG1492 JesusG2424 whoG5101 he wasG2076; andG2532 couldG1410 notG3756 forG575 the pressG3793, becauseG3754 he wasG2258 littleG3398 of statureG2244.
AndG2532 he ranG4390 beforeG1715, and climbed upG305 intoG1909 a sycomore treeG4809 toG2443 seeG1492 himG846: forG3754 he wasG3195 to passG1330+G1223 thatG1565 way.
AndG2532 whenG5613 JesusG2424 cameG2064 toG1909 the placeG5117, he looked upG308, and sawG1492 himG846, andG2532 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, ZacchaeusG2195, make hasteG4692, and come downG2597; forG1063 to dayG4594 IG3165 mustG1163 abideG3306 atG1722 thyG4675 houseG3624.
AndG2532 he made hasteG4692, and came downG2597, andG2532 receivedG5264 himG846 joyfullyG5463.
AndG2532 when they sawG1492 it, theyG1234 allG537 murmuredG1234, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 he was goneG1525 to be guestG2647 withG3844 a manG435 that is a sinnerG268.
AndG1161 ZacchaeusG2195 stoodG2476, and saidG2036 untoG4314 the LordG2962; BeholdG2400, LordG2962, the halfG2255 of myG3450 goodsG5224 I giveG1325 to the poorG4434; andG2532 ifG1536 I have takenG4811 any thingG1536 from any manG5100 by false accusationG4811, I restoreG591 him fourfoldG5073.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846+G3754, This dayG4594 isG1096 salvationG4991 comeG1096 to thisG5129 houseG3624, forsomuch asG2530 heG846 alsoG2532 isG2076 a sonG5207 of AbrahamG11.
ForG1063 the SonG5207 of manG444 is comeG2064 to seekG2212 andG2532 to saveG4982 that which was lostG622.
AndG1161 as theyG846 heardG191 these thingsG5023, he addedG4369 and spakeG2036 a parableG3850, becauseG1223 heG846 wasG1511 nighG1451 to JerusalemG2419, andG2532 because theyG846 thoughtG1380 thatG3754 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 shouldG3195 immediatelyG3916 appearG398.
He saidG2036 thereforeG3767, A certainG5100 noblemanG444+G2104 wentG4198 intoG1519 a farG3117 countryG5561 to receiveG2983 for himselfG1438 a kingdomG932, andG2532 to returnG5290.
AndG1161 he calledG2564 hisG1438 tenG1176 servantsG1401, and deliveredG1325 themG846 tenG1176 poundsG3414, andG2532 saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, OccupyG4231 tillG2193 I comeG2064. {pounds: mina, here translated a pound, is twelve ounces and an half: which according to five shillings the ounce is three pounds two shillings and sixpence}
ButG1161 hisG846 citizensG4177 hatedG3404 himG846, andG2532 sentG649 a messageG4242 afterG3694 himG846, sayingG3004, We willG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 thisG5126 man to reignG936 overG1909 usG2248.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that whenG1722 heG846 was returnedG1880, having receivedG2983 the kingdomG932, thenG2532 he commandedG2036 theseG5128 servantsG1401 to be calledG5455 unto himG846, to whomG3739 he had givenG1325 the moneyG694, thatG2443 he might knowG1097 how muchG5101 every manG5101 had gained by tradingG1281.
ThenG1161 cameG3854 the firstG4413, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thyG4675 poundG3414 hath gainedG4333 tenG1176 poundsG3414.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto himG846, WellG2095, thou goodG18 servantG1401: becauseG3754 thou hast beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 a very littleG1646, haveG2192 thou authorityG2468+G1849 overG1883 tenG1176 citiesG4172.
AndG2532 the secondG1208 cameG2064, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thyG4675 poundG3414 hath gainedG4160 fiveG4002 poundsG3414.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 likewiseG2532 to himG5129, BeG1096 thouG4771 alsoG2532 overG1883 fiveG4002 citiesG4172.
AndG2532 anotherG2087 cameG2064, sayingG3004, LordG2962, beholdG2400, here is thyG4675 poundG3414, whichG3739 I haveG2192 kept laid upG606 inG1722 a napkinG4676:
ForG1063 I fearedG5399 theeG4571, becauseG3754 thou artG1488 an austereG840 manG444: thou takest upG142 thatG3739 thou layedstG5087 notG3756 downG5087, andG2532 reapestG2325 thatG3739 thou didstG4687 notG3756 sowG4687.
AndG1161 he saithG3004 unto himG846, Out ofG1537 thine ownG4675 mouthG4750 will I judgeG2919 theeG4571, thou wickedG4190 servantG1401. Thou knewestG1492 thatG3754 IG1473 wasG1510 an austereG840 manG444, taking upG142 thatG3739 I laidG5087 notG3756 downG5087, andG2532 reapingG2325 thatG3739 I didG4687 notG3756 sowG4687:
WhereforeG1302 thenG2532 gavestG1325 notG3756 thouG1325 myG3450 moneyG694 intoG1909 the bankG5132, thatG2532 at my comingG2064 IG1473 mightG302 have requiredG4238 mine ownG846 withG4862 usuryG5110?
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto them that stood byG3936, TakeG142 fromG575 himG846 the poundG3414, andG2532 giveG1325 it to him that hathG2192 tenG1176 poundsG3414.
(AndG2532 they saidG2036 unto himG846, LordG2962, he hathG2192 tenG1176 poundsG3414.)
ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 unto every oneG3956 whichG3588 hathG2192 shall be givenG1325; andG1161 fromG575 him that hathG2192 notG3361, evenG2532 thatG3739 he hathG2192 shall be taken awayG142 fromG575 himG846.
ButG4133 thoseG1565 mineG3450 enemiesG2190, whichG3588 wouldG2309 notG3361 that IG3165 should reignG936 overG1909 themG846, bringG71 hitherG5602, andG2532 slayG2695 them beforeG1715 meG3450.
AndG2532 when he had thusG5023 spokenG2036, he wentG4198 beforeG1715, ascending upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, whenG5613 he was come nighG1448 toG1519 BethphageG967 andG2532 BethanyG963, atG4314 the mountG3735 calledG2564 the mount of OlivesG1636, he sentG649 twoG1417 of hisG846 disciplesG3101,
SayingG2036, Go yeG5217 intoG1519 the villageG2968 over againstG2713 you; inG1722 the whichG3739 at your enteringG1531 ye shall findG2147 a coltG4454 tiedG1210, whereonG1909+G3739 yet neverG3762 manG444 satG2523+G4455: looseG3089 himG846, and bringG71 him hither.
AndG2532 ifG1437 any manG5100 askG2065 youG5209, WhyG1302 do ye looseG3089 him? thusG3779 shall ye sayG2046 unto himG846, BecauseG3754 the LordG2962 hathG2192 needG5532 of himG846.
AndG1161 they that were sentG649 went their wayG565, and foundG2147 even asG2531 he had saidG2036 unto themG846.
AndG1161 as theyG846 were loosingG3089 the coltG4454, the ownersG2962 thereofG846 saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, WhyG5101 loose yeG3089 the coltG4454?
AndG1161 they saidG2036, The LordG2962 hathG2192 needG5532 of himG846.
AndG2532 they broughtG71 himG846 toG4314 JesusG2424: andG2532 they castG1977 theirG1438 garmentsG2440 uponG1909+G1977 the coltG4454, andG1977 they setG1913 JesusG2424 thereonG1913.
AndG1161 as heG846 wentG4198, they spreadG5291 theirG846 clothesG2440 inG1722 the wayG3598.
And when heG846 was come nighG1448, evenG1161 nowG2235 atG4314 the descentG2600 of the mountG3735 of OlivesG1636, the wholeG537 multitudeG4128 of the disciplesG3101 beganG756 to rejoiceG5463 and praiseG134 GodG2316 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 forG4012 allG3956 the mighty worksG1411 thatG3739 they had seenG1492;
SayingG3004, BlessedG2127 be the KingG935 that comethG2064 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962: peaceG1515 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 gloryG1391 inG1722 the highestG5310.
AndG2532 someG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 fromG575 among the multitudeG3793 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, MasterG1320, rebukeG2008 thyG4675 disciplesG3101.
AndG2532 he answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, I tellG3004 youG5213 thatG3754, ifG1437 theseG3778 should hold their peaceG4623, the stonesG3037 would immediately cry outG2896.
AndG2532 whenG5613 he was come nearG1448, he beheldG1492 the cityG4172, and weptG2799 overG1909 itG846,
SayingG3004, IfG3754+G1487 thou hadst knownG1097, evenG2532 thouG4771, at leastG2534 inG1722 thisG5026 thyG4675 dayG2250, the thingsG3588 which belong untoG4314 thyG4675 peaceG1515! butG1161 nowG3568 they are hidG2928 fromG575 thineG4675 eyesG3788.
ForG3754 the daysG2250 shall comeG2240 uponG1909 theeG4571, thatG2532 thineG4675 enemiesG2190 shall castG4016 a trenchG5482 aboutG4016 theeG4671, andG2532 compassG4033 theeG4571 roundG4033, andG2532 keepG4912 theeG4571 inG4912 on every sideG3840,
AndG2532 shall layG1474 theeG4571 even with the groundG1474, andG2532 thyG4675 childrenG5043 withinG1722 theeG4671; andG2532 they shallG863 notG3756 leaveG863 inG1722 theeG4671 one stoneG3037 uponG1909 anotherG3037; becauseG473+G3739 thou knewestG1097 notG3756 the timeG2540 of thyG4675 visitationG1984.
AndG2532 he wentG1525 intoG1519 the templeG2411, and beganG756 to cast outG1544 them that soldG4453 thereinG1722+G846, andG2532 them that boughtG59;
SayingG3004 unto themG846, It is writtenG1125, MyG3450 houseG3624 isG2076 the houseG3624 of prayerG4335: butG1161 yeG5210 have madeG4160 itG846 a denG4693 of thievesG3027.
AndG2532 he taughtG2258+G1321 dailyG2596+G2250 inG1722 the templeG2411. ButG1161 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the scribesG1122 andG2532 the chiefG4413 of the peopleG2992 soughtG2212 to destroyG622 himG846,
AndG2532 couldG2147 notG3756 findG2147 whatG5101 they might doG4160: forG1063 allG537 the peopleG2992 were very attentiveG1582 to hearG191 himG846. {were…: or, hanged on him}
Behold, I will sendH7971 my messengerH4397, and he shall prepareH6437 the wayH1870 beforeH6440 me: and the LordH113, whom ye seekH1245, shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to his templeH1964, even the messengerH4397 of the covenantH1285, whom ye delightH2655 in: behold, he shall comeH935, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
But who may abideH3557 the dayH3117 of his comingH935? and who shall standH5975 when he appearethH7200? for he is like a refiner'sH6884 fireH784, and like fullers'H3526 soapH1287:
And he shall sitH3427 as a refinerH6884 and purifierH2891 of silverH3701: and he shall purifyH2891 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, and purgeH2212 them as goldH2091 and silverH3701, that they may offerH5066 unto the LORDH3068 an offeringH4503 in righteousnessH6666.
Then shall the offeringH4503 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 be pleasantH6149 unto the LORDH3068, as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769, and as in formerH6931 yearsH8141. {former: or, ancient}
Why do the heathenH1471 rageH7283, and the peopleH3816 imagineH1897 a vain thingH7385? {rage: or, tumultuously assemble} {imagine: Heb. meditate}
The kingsH4428 of the earthH776 setH3320 themselves, and the rulersH7336 take counselH3245 togetherH3162, against the LORDH3068, and against his anointedH4899, saying,
Let us breakH5423 their bandsH4147 asunderH5423, and cast awayH7993 their cordsH5688 from us.
He that sittethH3427 in the heavensH8064 shall laughH7832: the LordH136 shall have them in derisionH3932.
Then shall he speakH1696 unto them in his wrathH639, and vexH926 them in his sore displeasureH2740. {vex: or, trouble}
Yet have I setH5258 my kingH4428 upon my holyH6944 hillH2022 of ZionH6726. {set: Heb. anointed} {upon…: Heb. upon Zion, the hill of my holiness}
I will declareH5608 the decreeH2706: the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto me, Thou art my SonH1121; this dayH3117 have I begottenH3205 thee. {the decree: or, for a decree}
AskH7592 of me, and I shall giveH5414 thee the heathenH1471 for thine inheritanceH5159, and the uttermost partsH657 of the earthH776 for thy possessionH272.
Thou shalt breakH7489 them with a rodH7626 of ironH1270; thou shalt dash them in piecesH5310 like a potter'sH3335 vesselH3627.
Be wiseH7919 now therefore, O ye kingsH4428: be instructedH3256, ye judgesH8199 of the earthH776.
ServeH5647 the LORDH3068 with fearH3374, and rejoiceH1523 with tremblingH7461.
KissH5401 the SonH1248, lest he be angryH599, and ye perishH6 from the wayH1870, when his wrathH639 is kindledH1197 but a littleH4592. BlessedH835 are all they that put their trustH2620 in him.
For thou hast made him a littleH4592 lowerH2637 than the angelsH430, and hast crownedH5849 him with gloryH3519 and honourH1926.
Thou madest him to have dominionH4910 over the worksH4639 of thy handsH3027; thou hast putH7896 all things under his feetH7272:
ShiggaionH7692 of DavidH1732, which he sangH7891 unto the LORDH3068, concerning the wordsH1697 of CushH3568 the BenjamiteH1121+H1145. O LORDH3068 my GodH430, in thee do I put my trustH2620: saveH3467 me from all them that persecuteH7291 me, and deliverH5337 me: {words: or, business}
Lest he tearH2963 my soulH5315 like a lionH738, rending it in piecesH6561, while there is none to deliverH5337. {none…: Heb. not a deliverer}
O LORDH3068 my GodH430, if I have doneH6213 this; if there beH3426 iniquityH5766 in my handsH3709;
If I have rewardedH1580 evilH7451 unto him that was at peaceH7999 with me; (yea, I have deliveredH2502 him that without causeH7387 is mine enemyH6887:)
Let the enemyH341 persecuteH7291 my soulH5315, and takeH5381 it; yea, let him tread downH7429 my lifeH2416 upon the earthH776, and layH7931 mine honourH3519 in the dustH6083. SelahH5542.
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, in thine angerH639, lift upH5375 thyself because of the rageH5678 of mine enemiesH6887: and awakeH5782 for me to the judgmentH4941 that thou hast commandedH6680.
So shall the congregationH5712 of the peopleH3816 compass thee aboutH5437: for their sakes therefore returnH7725 thou on highH4791.
The LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 the peopleH5971: judgeH8199 me, O LORDH3068, according to my righteousnessH6664, and according to mine integrityH8537 that is in me.
Oh let the wickednessH7451 of the wickedH7563 come to an endH1584; but establishH3559 the justH6662: for the righteousH6662 GodH430 triethH974 the heartsH3826 and reinsH3629.
My defenceH4043 is of GodH430, which savethH3467 the uprightH3477 in heartH3820. {My…: Heb. My buckler is upon God}
GodH430 judgethH8199 the righteousH6662, and GodH410 is angryH2194 with the wicked every dayH3117. {judgeth…: or, is a righteous judge}
If he turnH7725 not, he will whetH3913 his swordH2719; he hath bentH1869 his bowH7198, and made it readyH3559.
He hath also preparedH3559 for him the instrumentsH3627 of deathH4194; he ordainethH6466 his arrowsH2671 against the persecutorsH1814.
Behold, he travailethH2254 with iniquityH205, and hath conceivedH2029 mischiefH5999, and brought forthH3205 falsehoodH8267.
He madeH3738 a pitH953, and diggedH2658 it, and is fallenH5307 into the ditchH7845 which he madeH6466. {He made a pit: Heb. He hath digged a pit}
His mischiefH5999 shall returnH7725 upon his own headH7218, and his violentH2555 dealing shall come downH3381 upon his own pateH6936.
I will praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 according to his righteousnessH6664: and will sing praiseH2167 to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 most highH5945.
ForG1063 unto the angelsG32 hath heG5293 notG3756 put in subjectionG5293 the worldG3625 to comeG3195, whereofG4012+G3739 we speakG2980.
ButG1161 oneG5100 in a certain placeG4225 testifiedG1263, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 isG2076 manG444, thatG3754 thou art mindfulG3403 of himG846? orG2228 the sonG5207 of manG444, thatG3754 thou visitestG1980 himG846?
Thou madestG1642 himG846 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32; thou crownedstG4737 himG846 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 didst setG2525 himG846 overG1909 the worksG2041 of thyG4675 handsG5495: {lower…: or, while inferior to}
Thou hast putG5293 all thingsG3956 in subjectionG5293 underG5270 hisG846 feetG4228. ForG1063 inG1722 that he putG5293 allG3956 in subjection underG5293 himG846, he leftG863 nothing that is notG3762 put underG506 himG846. ButG1161 nowG3568 we seeG3708 not yetG3768 all thingsG3956 put underG5293 himG846.
ButG1161 we seeG991 JesusG2424, whoG3588 was madeG1642 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32 forG1223 the sufferingG3804 of deathG2288, crownedG4737 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092; thatG3704 heG1089 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 should tasteG1089 deathG2288 forG5228 every manG3956. {for the: or, by the}

My GodH410, my GodH410, why hast thou forsakenH5800 me? why art thou so farH7350 from helpingH3444 me, and from the wordsH1697 of my roaringH7581? {Aijeleth…: or, the hind of the morning} {helping…: Heb. my salvation}
O my GodH430, I cryH7121 in the daytimeH3119, but thou hearestH6030 not; and in the night seasonH3915, and am not silentH1747. {am…: Heb. there is no silence to me}
But thou art holyH6918, O thou that inhabitestH3427 the praisesH8416 of IsraelH3478.
Our fathersH1 trustedH982 in thee: they trustedH982, and thou didst deliverH6403 them.
They criedH2199 unto thee, and were deliveredH4422: they trustedH982 in thee, and were not confoundedH954.
But I am a wormH8438, and no manH376; a reproachH2781 of menH120, and despisedH959 of the peopleH5971.
All they that seeH7200 me laugh me to scornH3932: they shoot outH6358 the lipH8193, they shakeH5128 the headH7218, saying, {shoot…: Heb. open}
He trustedH1556 on the LORDH3068 that he would deliverH6403 him: let him deliverH5337 him, seeing he delightedH2654 in him. {He trusted…: Heb. He rolled himself on} {seeing…: or, if he delight in}
But thou art he that tookH1518 me out of the wombH990: thou didst make me hopeH982 when I was upon my mother'sH517 breastsH7699. {didst…: or, kept me in safety}
I was castH7993 upon thee from the wombH7358: thou art my GodH410 from my mother'sH517 bellyH990.
Be not farH7368 from me; for troubleH6869 is nearH7138; for there is none to helpH5826. {none…: Heb. not a helper}
ManyH7227 bullsH6499 have compassedH5437 me: strongH47 bulls of BashanH1316 have beset me roundH3803.
They gapedH6475 upon me with their mouthsH6310, as a raveningH2963 and a roaringH7580 lionH738. {gaped…: Heb. opened their mouths against me}
I am poured outH8210 like waterH4325, and all my bonesH6106 are out of jointH6504: my heartH3820 is like waxH1749; it is meltedH4549 in the midstH8432 of my bowelsH4578. {out of…: or, sundered}
My strengthH3581 is dried upH3001 like a potsherdH2789; and my tongueH3956 cleavethH1692 to my jawsH4455; and thou hast broughtH8239 me into the dustH6083 of deathH4194.
For dogsH3611 have compassedH5437 me: the assemblyH5712 of the wickedH7489 have inclosedH5362 me: they piercedH3738+H738 my handsH3027 and my feetH7272.
I may tellH5608 all my bonesH6106: they lookH5027 and stareH7200 upon me.
They partH2505 my garmentsH899 among them, and castH5307 lotsH1486 upon my vestureH3830.
But be not thou farH7368 from me, O LORDH3068: O my strengthH360, hasteH2363 thee to helpH5833 me.
DeliverH5337 my soulH5315 from the swordH2719; my darlingH3173 from the powerH3027 of the dogH3611. {my darling: Heb. my only one} {power: Heb. hand}
SaveH3467 me from the lion'sH738 mouthH6310: for thou hast heardH6030 me from the hornsH7161 of the unicornsH7214.
I will declareH5608 thy nameH8034 unto my brethrenH251: in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951 will I praiseH1984 thee.
I will declareH5608 thy nameH8034 unto my brethrenH251: in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951 will I praiseH1984 thee.
Ye that fearH3373 the LORDH3068, praiseH1984 him; all ye the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, glorifyH3513 him; and fearH1481 him, all ye the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478.
For he hath not despisedH959 nor abhorredH8262 the afflictionH6039 of the afflictedH6041; neither hath he hidH5641 his faceH6440 from him; but when he criedH7768 unto him, he heardH8085.
My praiseH8416 shall be of thee in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: I will payH7999 my vowsH5088 before them that fearH3373 him.
The meekH6035 shall eatH398 and be satisfiedH7646: they shall praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 that seekH1875 him: your heartH3824 shall liveH2421 for everH5703.
All the endsH657 of the worldH776 shall rememberH2142 and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068: and all the kindredsH4940 of the nationsH1471 shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thee.
For the kingdomH4410 is the LORD'SH3068: and he is the governorH4910 among the nationsH1471.
All they that be fatH1879 upon earthH776 shall eatH398 and worshipH7812: all they that go downH3381 to the dustH6083 shall bowH3766 beforeH6440 him: and none can keep aliveH2421 his own soulH5315.
A seedH2233 shall serveH5647 him; it shall be accountedH5608 to the LordH136 for a generationH1755.
They shall comeH935, and shall declareH5046 his righteousnessH6666 unto a peopleH5971 that shall be bornH3205, that he hath doneH6213 this.
Yet it pleasedH2654 the LORDH3068 to bruiseH1792 him; he hath put him to griefH2470: when thou shalt makeH7760 his soulH5315 an offering for sinH817, he shall seeH7200 his seedH2233, he shall prolongH748 his daysH3117, and the pleasureH2656 of the LORDH3068 shall prosperH6743 in his handH3027. {thou…: or, his soul shall make an offering}
He shall seeH7200 of the travailH5999 of his soulH5315, and shall be satisfiedH7646: by his knowledgeH1847 shall my righteousH6662 servantH5650 justifyH6663 manyH7227; for he shall bearH5445 their iniquitiesH5771.
Therefore will I divideH2505 him a portion with the greatH7227, and he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998 with the strongH6099; because he hath poured outH6168 his soulH5315 unto deathH4194: and he was numberedH4487 with the transgressorsH6586; and he bareH5375 the sinH2399 of manyH7227, and made intercessionH6293 for the transgressorsH6586.
And he wentH3212 thither to NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414: and the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 was upon him also, and he wentH3212 onH1980, and prophesiedH5012, until he cameH935 to NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414.
SomeG5100 indeedG3303 preachG2784 ChristG5547 evenG2532 ofG1223 envyG5355 andG2532 strifeG2054; andG1161 someG5100 alsoG2532 ofG1223 good willG2107:
Now gatherH1413 thyself in troopsH1416, O daughterH1323 of troopsH1416: he hath laidH7760 siegeH4692 against us: they shall smiteH5221 the judgeH8199 of IsraelH3478 with a rodH7626 upon the cheekH3895.
Nevertheless the dimnessH4155 shall not be such as was in her vexationH4164, whenH6256 at the firstH7223 he lightly afflictedH7043 the landH776 of ZebulunH2074 and the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321, and afterwardH314 did more grievously afflictH3513 her by the wayH1870 of the seaH3220, beyondH5676 JordanH3383, in GalileeH1551 of the nationsH1471. {of the nations: or, populous}
The wordH1697 that IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sawH2372 concerning JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
And it shall come to pass in the lastH319 daysH3117, that the mountainH2022 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall be establishedH3559 in the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and shall be exaltedH5375 above the hillsH1389; and all nationsH1471 shall flowH5102 unto it. {established: or, prepared}
And manyH7227 peopleH5971 shall goH1980 and sayH559, ComeH3212 ye, and let us go upH5927 to the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, to the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290; and he will teachH3384 us of his waysH1870, and we will walkH3212 in his pathsH734: for out of ZionH6726 shall go forthH3318 the lawH8451, and the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 from JerusalemH3389.
And he shall judgeH8199 among the nationsH1471, and shall rebukeH3198 manyH7227 peopleH5971: and they shall beatH3807 their swordsH2719 into plowsharesH855, and their spearsH2595 into pruninghooksH4211: nationH1471 shall not lift upH5375 swordH2719 against nationH1471, neither shall they learnH3925 warH4421 any more. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}
O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, comeH3212 ye, and let us walkH3212 in the lightH216 of the LORDH3068.
Therefore thou hast forsakenH5203 thy peopleH5971 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, because they be replenishedH4390 from the eastH6924, and are soothsayersH6049 like the PhilistinesH6430, and they pleaseH5606 themselves in the childrenH3206 of strangersH5237. {from…: or, more than the} {please…: or, abound with the}
Their landH776 also is fullH4390 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, neither is there any endH7097 of their treasuresH214; their landH776 is also fullH4390 of horsesH5483, neither is there any endH7097 of their chariotsH4818:
Their landH776 also is fullH4390 of idolsH457; they worshipH7812 the workH4639 of their own handsH3027, that which their own fingersH676 have madeH6213:
And the mean manH120 boweth downH7817, and the great manH376 humblethH8213 himself: therefore forgiveH5375 them not.
EnterH935 into the rockH6697, and hideH2934 thee in the dustH6083, forH6440 fearH6343 of the LORDH3068, and for the gloryH1926 of his majestyH1347.
The loftyH1365 looksH5869 of manH120 shall be humbledH8213, and the haughtinessH7312 of menH582 shall be bowed downH7817, and the LORDH3068 alone shall be exaltedH7682 in that dayH3117.
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:
And upon all the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, that are highH7311 and lifted upH5375, and upon all the oaksH437 of BashanH1316,
And upon all the highH7311 mountainsH2022, and upon all the hillsH1389 that are lifted upH5375,
And upon every highH1364 towerH4026, and upon every fencedH1219 wallH2346,
And upon all the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, and upon all pleasantH2532 picturesH7914. {pleasant…: Heb. pictures of desire}
And the loftinessH1365 of manH120 shall be bowed downH7817, and the haughtinessH7312 of menH582 shall be made lowH8213: and the LORDH3068 alone shall be exaltedH7682 in that dayH3117.
And the idolsH457 he shall utterlyH3632 abolishH2498. {he…: or, shall utterly pass away}
And they shall goH935 into the holesH4631 of the rocksH6697, and into the cavesH4247 of the earthH6083, forH6440 fearH6343 of the LORDH3068, and for the gloryH1926 of his majestyH1347, when he arisethH6965 to shake terriblyH6206 the earthH776. {of the earth: Heb. of the dust}
In that dayH3117 a manH120 shall castH7993 his idolsH457 of silverH3701, and his idolsH457 of goldH2091, which they made each one for himselfH6213 to worshipH7812, to the molesH2661+H6512 and to the batsH5847; {his idols of silver…: Heb. the idols of his silver, etc} {each…: or, for him}
To goH935 into the cleftsH5366 of the rocksH6697, and into the topsH5585 of the ragged rocksH5553, forH6440 fearH6343 of the LORDH3068, and for the gloryH1926 of his majestyH1347, when he arisethH6965 to shake terriblyH6206 the earthH776.
CeaseH2308 ye from manH120, whose breathH5397 is in his nostrilsH639: for wherein is he to be accounted ofH2803?
When IsraelH3478 was a childH5288, then I lovedH157 him, and calledH7121 my sonH1121 out of EgyptH4714.
AndG2532 wasG2258 thereG1563 untilG2193 the deathG5054 of HerodG2264: thatG2443 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 ofG5259 the LordG2962 byG1223 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, Out ofG1537 EgyptG125 have I calledG2564 myG3450 sonG5207.
AndG2532 againG3825, EsaiasG2268 saithG3004, There shall beG2071 a rootG4491 of JesseG2421, andG2532 he that shall riseG450 to reign overG757 the GentilesG1484; inG1909 himG846 shallG1679 the GentilesG1484 trustG1679.
And in that dayH3117 there shall be a rootH8328 of JesseH3448, which shall standH5975 for an ensignH5251 of the peopleH5971; to it shall the GentilesH1471 seekH1875: and his restH4496 shall be gloriousH3519. {glorious: Heb. glory}
WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 are nowG3568 the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: whichG3588 hadG1653 notG3756 obtained mercyG1653, butG1161 nowG3568 have obtained mercyG1653.
As he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 OseeG5617, I will callG2564 them myG3450 peopleG2992, which were notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; andG2532 her belovedG25, which wasG25 notG3756 belovedG25.
Yet the numberH4557 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall be as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, which cannot be measuredH4058 nor numberedH5608; and it shall come to pass, that in the placeH4725 where it was saidH559 unto them, Ye are not my peopleH5971, there it shall be saidH559 unto them, Ye are the sonsH1121 of the livingH2416 GodH410. {in…: or, instead of that}
ButG235 thisG5124 isG2076 that which was spokenG2046 byG1223 the prophetG4396 JoelG2493;
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071 inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250, saithG3004 GodG2316, I will pour outG1632 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151 uponG1909 allG3956 fleshG4561: andG2532 yourG5216 sonsG5207 andG2532 yourG5216 daughtersG2364 shall prophesyG4395, andG2532 yourG5216 young menG3495 shall seeG3700 visionsG3706, andG2532 yourG5216 old menG4245 shall dreamG1797 dreamsG1798:
AndG2532+G1065 onG1909 myG3450 servantsG1401 andG2532 onG1909 myG3450 handmaidensG1399 I will pour outG1632 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151; andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395:
AndG2532 I will shewG1325 wondersG5059 inG1722 heavenG3772 aboveG507, andG2532 signsG4592 inG1909 the earthG1093 beneathG2736; bloodG129, andG2532 fireG4442, andG2532 vapourG822 of smokeG2586:
The sunG2246 shall be turnedG3344 intoG1519 darknessG4655, andG2532 the moonG4582 intoG1519 bloodG129, beforeG2228+G4250 that greatG3173 andG2532 notableG2016 dayG2250 of the LordG2962 comeG2064:
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that whosoeverG3739+G3956+G302 shall call onG1941 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 shall be savedG4982.
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}
And ye shall be unto me a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548, and an holyH6918 nationH1471. These are the wordsH1697 which thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
WhenG3303 they thereforeG3767 were come togetherG4905, they askedG1905 of himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962+G1487, wilt thouG600 atG1722 thisG5129 timeG5550 restore againG600 the kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474?
ThenG1161 saidG2036 the high priestG749, AreG1487+G686+G2192 these thingsG5023 soG3779?
AndG1161 he saidG5346, MenG435, brethrenG80, andG2532 fathersG3962, hearkenG191; The GodG2316 of gloryG1391 appearedG3700 unto ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, when he wasG5607 inG1722 MesopotamiaG3318, beforeG4250+G2228 heG846 dweltG2730 inG1722 CharranG5488,
AndG2532 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, Get theeG1831 out ofG1537 thyG4675 countryG1093, andG2532 fromG1537 thyG4675 kindredG4772, andG2532 comeG1204 intoG1519 the landG1093 whichG3739+G302 I shall shewG1166 theeG4671.
ThenG5119 came heG1831 out ofG1537 the landG1093 of the ChaldaeansG5466, and dweltG2730 inG1722 CharranG5488: and from thenceG2547, whenG3326 hisG846 fatherG3962 was deadG599, he removedG3351 himG846 intoG1519 thisG5026 landG1093, whereinG1519+G3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 dwellG2730.
AndG2532 he gaveG1325 himG846 noneG3756 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 itG846, no, notG3761 so much as to setG968 his footG4228 onG968: yetG2532 he promisedG1861 that he would giveG1325 itG846 to himG846 forG1519 a possessionG2697, andG2532 to hisG846 seedG4690 afterG3326 himG846, when as yet heG846 hadG5607 noG3756 childG5043.
AndG1161 GodG2316 spakeG2980 on this wiseG3779, ThatG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 shouldG2071 sojournG3941 inG1722 a strangeG245 landG1093; andG2532 that they should bringG1402 themG846 into bondageG1402, andG2532 entreat them evilG2559 four hundredG5071 yearsG2094.
AndG2532 the nationG1484 to whomG3739+G1437 they shall be in bondageG1398 willG2919 IG1473 judgeG2919, saidG2036 GodG2316: andG2532 afterG3326 thatG5023 shall they come forthG1831, andG2532 serveG3000 meG3427 inG1722 thisG5129 placeG5117.
AndG2532 he gaveG1325 himG846 the covenantG1242 of circumcisionG4061: andG2532 soG3779 Abraham begatG1080 IsaacG2464, andG2532 circumcisedG4059 himG846 the eighthG3590 dayG2250; andG2532 IsaacG2464 begat JacobG2384; andG2532 JacobG2384 begat the twelveG1427 patriarchsG3966.
AndG2532 the patriarchsG3966, moved with envyG2206, soldG591 JosephG2501 intoG1519 EgyptG125: butG2532 GodG2316 wasG2258 withG3326 himG846,
AndG2532 deliveredG1807 himG846 out ofG1537 allG3956 hisG846 afflictionsG2347, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 favourG5485 andG2532 wisdomG4678 in the sightG1726 of PharaohG5328 kingG935 of EgyptG125; andG2532 he madeG2525 himG846 governorG2233 overG1909 EgyptG125 andG2532 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624.
NowG1161 there cameG2064 a dearthG3042 overG1909 allG3650 the landG1093 of EgyptG125 andG2532 ChanaanG5477, andG2532 greatG3173 afflictionG2347: andG2532 ourG2257 fathersG3962 foundG2147 noG3756 sustenanceG5527.
ButG1161 when JacobG2384 heardG191 that there wasG5607 cornG4621 inG1722 EgyptG125, he sent outG1821 ourG2257 fathersG3962 firstG4412.
AndG2532 atG1722 the secondG1208 time JosephG2501 was made knownG319 to hisG846 brethrenG80; andG2532 Joseph'sG2501 kindredG1085 was madeG1096 knownG5318 unto PharaohG5328.
ThenG1161 sentG649 JosephG2501, and calledG3333 hisG846 fatherG3962 JacobG2384 to him, andG2532 allG3956 hisG846 kindredG4772+G1722, threescoreG1440 and fifteenG4002 soulsG5590.
SoG1161 JacobG2384 went downG2597 intoG1519 EgyptG125, andG2532 diedG5053, heG846, andG2532 ourG2257 fathersG3962,
AndG2532 were carried overG3346 intoG1519 SychemG4966, andG2532 laidG5087 inG1722 the sepulchreG3418 thatG3739 AbrahamG11 boughtG5608 for a sumG5092 of moneyG694 ofG3844 the sonsG5207 of EmmorG1697 the fatherG3588 of SychemG4966.
ButG1161 whenG2531 the timeG5550 of the promiseG1860 drew nighG1448, whichG3739 GodG2316 had swornG3660 to AbrahamG11, the peopleG2992 grewG837 andG2532 multipliedG4129 inG1722 EgyptG125,
TillG891+G3739 anotherG2087 kingG935 aroseG450, whichG3739 knewG1492 notG3756 JosephG2501.
The sameG3778 dealt subtillyG2686 with ourG2257 kindredG1085, and evil entreatedG2559 ourG2257 fathersG3962, so thatG4160 they cast outG1570 theirG846 young childrenG1025, to the endG1519 they mightG2225 notG3361 liveG2225.
InG1722 whichG3739 timeG2540 MosesG3475 was bornG1080, andG2532 wasG2258 exceedingG2316 fairG791, andG3739 nourished upG397 inG1722 hisG846 father'sG3962 houseG3624 threeG5140 monthsG3376: {exceeding fair: or, fair to God}
AndG1161 when heG846 was cast outG1620, Pharaoh'sG5328 daughterG2364 tookG337 himG846 upG337, andG2532 nourishedG397 himG846 forG1519 her ownG1438 sonG5207.
AndG2532 MosesG3475 was learnedG3811 in allG3956 the wisdomG4678 of the EgyptiansG124, andG1161 wasG2258 mightyG1415 inG1722 wordsG3056 andG2532 inG1722 deedsG2041.
AndG1161 whenG5613 heG846 was fullG4137 forty yearsG5063 oldG5550, it cameG305 intoG1909 hisG846 heartG2588 to visitG1980 hisG846 brethrenG80 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474.
AndG2532 seeingG1492 oneG5100 of them suffer wrongG91, he defendedG292 him, andG2532 avengedG1557+G4160 him that was oppressedG2669, and smoteG3960 the EgyptianG124:
ForG1161 he supposedG3543 hisG846 brethrenG80 would have understoodG4920 howG3754 that GodG2316 byG1223 hisG846 handG5495 would deliverG1325+G4991 themG846: butG1161 they understoodG4920 notG3756. {For: or, Now}
AndG5037 the nextG1966 dayG2250 he shewed himselfG3700 unto themG846 as they stroveG3164, andG2532 would have setG4900 themG846 atG1519 one againG1515, sayingG2036, SirsG435, yeG5210 areG2075 brethrenG80; whyG2444 do ye wrongG91 one to anotherG240?
ButG1161 he that didG91 his neighbourG4139 wrongG91 thrustG683 himG846 awayG683, sayingG2036, WhoG5101 madeG2525 theeG4571 a rulerG758 andG2532 a judgeG1348 overG1909 usG2248?
WiltG3361+G2309 thouG4771 killG337 meG3165, asG3739+G5158 thou diddestG337 the EgyptianG124 yesterdayG5504?
ThenG1161 fledG5343 MosesG3475 atG1722 thisG5129 sayingG3056, andG2532 wasG1096 a strangerG3941 inG1722 the landG1093 of MadianG3099, whereG3757 he begatG1080 twoG1417 sonsG5207.
AndG2532 when fortyG5062 yearsG2094 were expiredG4137, there appearedG3700 to himG846 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 of mountG3735 SinaG4614 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 inG1722 a flameG5395 of fireG4442 in a bushG942.
WhenG1161 MosesG3475 sawG1492 it, he wonderedG2296 at the sightG3705: andG1161 as heG846 drew nearG4334 to beholdG2657 it, the voiceG5456 of the LordG2962 cameG1096 untoG4314 himG846,
Saying, IG1473 am the GodG2316 of thyG4675 fathersG3962, the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 the GodG2316 of IsaacG2464, andG2532 the GodG2316 of JacobG2384. ThenG1161 MosesG3475 trembledG1096+G1790, and durstG5111 notG3756 beholdG2657.
ThenG1161 saidG2036 the LordG2962 to himG846, Put offG3089 thy shoesG5266 from thyG4675 feetG4228: forG1063 the placeG5117 whereG1722+G3739 thou standestG2476 isG2076 holyG40 groundG1093.
I have seenG1492, I have seenG1492 the afflictionG2561 of myG3450 peopleG2992 whichG3588 is inG1722 EgyptG125, andG2532 I have heardG191 theirG846 groaningG4726, andG2532 am come downG2597 to deliverG1807 themG846. AndG2532 nowG3568 comeG1204, I will sendG649 theeG4571 intoG1519 EgyptG125.
ThisG5126 MosesG3475 whomG3739 they refusedG720, sayingG2036, WhoG5101 madeG2525 theeG4571 a rulerG758 andG2532 a judgeG1348? the sameG5126 did GodG2316 sendG649 to be a rulerG758 andG2532 a delivererG3086 byG1722 the handG5495 of the angelG32 whichG3588 appearedG3700 to himG846 inG1722 the bushG942.
HeG3778 broughtG1806 themG846 outG1806, after that he had shewedG4160 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 inG1722 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, andG2532 inG1722 the RedG2063 seaG2281, andG2532 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 fortyG5062 yearsG2094.
ThisG3778 isG2076 that MosesG3475, whichG3588 saidG2036 unto the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, A prophetG4396 shallG450 the LordG2962 yourG5216 GodG2316 raise upG450 unto youG5213 ofG1537 yourG5216 brethrenG80, likeG5613 unto meG1691; himG846 shall ye hearG191. {like…: or, as myself}
ThisG3778 is heG2076, that wasG1096 inG1722 the churchG1577 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 withG3326 the angelG32 whichG3588 spakeG2980 to himG846 inG1722 the mountG3735 SinaG4614, andG2532 with ourG2257 fathersG3962: whoG3739 receivedG1209 the livelyG2198 oraclesG3051 to giveG1325 unto usG2254:
To whomG3739 ourG2257 fathersG3962 wouldG2309 notG3756 obeyG1096+G5255, butG235 thrust him from themG683, andG2532 in theirG846 heartsG2588 turned back againG4762 intoG1519 EgyptG125,
SayingG2036 unto AaronG2, MakeG4160 usG2254 godsG2316 toG3739 go beforeG4313 usG2257: forG1063 as for thisG3778 MosesG3475, whichG3739 broughtG1806 usG2248 out ofG1537 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, we wotG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 is becomeG1096 of himG846.
AndG2532 they made a calfG3447 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250, andG2532 offeredG321 sacrificeG2378 unto the idolG1497, andG2532 rejoicedG2165 inG1722 the worksG2041 of their ownG846 handsG5495.
ThenG1161 GodG2316 turnedG4762, andG2532 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 to worshipG3000 the hostG4756 of heavenG3772; as itG2531 is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of the prophetsG4396, O ye houseG3624 of IsraelG2474, have ye offeredG3361+G4374 to meG3427 slain beastsG4968 andG2532 sacrificesG2378 by the space of fortyG5062 yearsG2094 inG1722 the wildernessG2048?
YeaG2532, ye took upG353 the tabernacleG4633 of MolochG3434, andG2532 the starG798 of yourG5216 godG2316 RemphanG4481, figuresG5179 whichG3739 ye madeG4160 to worshipG4352 themG846: andG2532 I will carryG3351 youG5209 awayG3351 beyondG1900 BabylonG897.
OurG2257 fathersG3962 hadG2258 the tabernacleG4633 of witnessG3142+G1722 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, asG2531 he had appointedG1299, speakingG2980 unto MosesG3475, that he should makeG4160 itG846 accordingG2596 to the fashionG5179 thatG3739 he had seenG3708. {speaking: or, who spake}
WhichG3739 alsoG2532 ourG2257 fathersG3962 that cameG1237 after brought inG1521 withG3326 JesusG2424 intoG1722 the possessionG2697 of the GentilesG1484, whomG3739 GodG2316 drave outG1856 beforeG575 the faceG4383 of ourG2257 fathersG3962, untoG2193 the daysG2250 of DavidG1138; {that…: or, having received}
WhoG3739 foundG2147 favourG5485 beforeG1799 GodG2316, andG2532 desiredG154 to findG2147 a tabernacleG4638 for the GodG2316 of JacobG2384.
ButG1161 SolomonG4672 builtG3618 himG846 an houseG3624.
HowbeitG235 the most HighG5310 dwellethG2730 notG3756 inG1722 templesG3485 made with handsG5499; asG2531 saithG3004 the prophetG4396,
HeavenG3772 is myG3427 throneG2362, andG1161 earthG1093 is myG3450 footstoolG4228+G5286: whatG4169 houseG3624 will ye buildG3618 meG3427? saithG3004 the LordG2962: orG2228 whatG5101 is the placeG5117 of myG3450 restG2663?
HathG4160 notG3780 myG3450 handG5495 madeG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023?
Ye stiffneckedG4644 andG2532 uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 andG2532 earsG3775, yeG5210 doG496 alwaysG104 resistG496 the HolyG40 GhostG4151: asG5613 yourG5216 fathersG3962 did, soG2532 do yeG5210.
WhichG5101 of the prophetsG4396 haveG1377 notG3756 yourG5216 fathersG3962 persecutedG1377? andG2532 they have slainG615 them whichG3588 shewed beforeG4293 ofG4012 the comingG1660 of the Just OneG1342; of whomG3739 yeG5210 have beenG1096 nowG3568 the betrayersG4273 andG2532 murderersG5406:
WhoG3748 have receivedG2983 the lawG3551 byG1519 the dispositionG1296 of angelsG32, andG2532 haveG5442 notG3756 keptG5442 it.
WhenG1161 they heardG191 these thingsG5023, they were cutG1282 to the heartG2588+G846, andG2532 they gnashedG1031 onG1909 himG846 with their teethG3599.
ButG1161 he, beingG5225 fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, looked up stedfastlyG816 intoG1519 heavenG3772, and sawG1492 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, andG2532 JesusG2424 standingG2476 onG1537 the right handG1188 of GodG2316,
AndG2532 saidG2036, BeholdG2400, I seeG2334 the heavensG3772 openedG455, andG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 standingG2476 onG1537 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
ThenG1161 they cried outG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, and stoppedG4912 theirG846 earsG3775, andG2532 ranG3729 uponG1909 himG846 with one accordG3661,
AndG2532 castG1544 him out ofG1854 the cityG4172, and stonedG3036 him: andG2532 the witnessesG3144 laid downG659 theirG846 clothesG2440 atG3844 a young man'sG3494 feetG4228, whose name wasG2564 SaulG4569.
AndG2532 they stonedG3036 StephenG4736, calling uponG1941 God, andG2532 sayingG3004, LordG2962 JesusG2424, receiveG1209 myG3450 spiritG4151.
AndG1161 he kneeled downG5087+G1119, and criedG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, LordG2962, layG2476 notG3361 thisG5026 sinG266 to theirG846 charge. AndG2532 when he had saidG2036 thisG5124, he fell asleepG2837.
SearchingG2045 whatG1519+G5101, orG2228 what mannerG4169 of timeG2540 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 whichG3588 was inG1722 themG846 did signifyG1213, when it testified beforehandG4303 the sufferingsG3804 ofG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 the gloryG1391 that should followG3326+G5023.
YeaG2532, andG1161 allG3956 the prophetsG4396 fromG575 SamuelG4545 andG2532 those that follow afterG2517, as many asG3745 have spokenG2980, haveG4293 likewiseG2532 foretoldG4293 of theseG5025 daysG2250.
GodG2316, who at sundry timesG4181 andG2532 in divers mannersG4187 spakeG2980 in time pastG3819 unto the fathersG3962 byG1722 the prophetsG4396,
ThereforeG1223+G5124 weG2248 oughtG1163 to give the more earnestG4056 heedG4337 to the things which we have heardG191, lest at any timeG3379 we should let them slipG3901. {let…: Gr. run out as leaking vessels}
ForG1063 ifG1487 the wordG3056 spokenG2980 byG1223 angelsG32 wasG1096 stedfastG949, andG2532 everyG3956 transgressionG3847 andG2532 disobedienceG3876 receivedG2983 a justG1738 recompence of rewardG3405;
HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
GodG2316 also bearing them witnessG4901, bothG5037 with signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 with diversG4164 miraclesG1411, andG2532 giftsG3311 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, according toG2596 his ownG846 willG2308? {gifts: or, distributions}
ForG1063 unto the angelsG32 hath heG5293 notG3756 put in subjectionG5293 the worldG3625 to comeG3195, whereofG4012+G3739 we speakG2980.
ButG1161 oneG5100 in a certain placeG4225 testifiedG1263, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 isG2076 manG444, thatG3754 thou art mindfulG3403 of himG846? orG2228 the sonG5207 of manG444, thatG3754 thou visitestG1980 himG846?
Thou madestG1642 himG846 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32; thou crownedstG4737 himG846 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 didst setG2525 himG846 overG1909 the worksG2041 of thyG4675 handsG5495: {lower…: or, while inferior to}
Thou hast putG5293 all thingsG3956 in subjectionG5293 underG5270 hisG846 feetG4228. ForG1063 inG1722 that he putG5293 allG3956 in subjection underG5293 himG846, he leftG863 nothing that is notG3762 put underG506 himG846. ButG1161 nowG3568 we seeG3708 not yetG3768 all thingsG3956 put underG5293 himG846.
ButG1161 we seeG991 JesusG2424, whoG3588 was madeG1642 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32 forG1223 the sufferingG3804 of deathG2288, crownedG4737 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092; thatG3704 heG1089 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 should tasteG1089 deathG2288 forG5228 every manG3956. {for the: or, by the}
ForG1063 it becameG4241 himG846, forG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, in bringingG71 manyG4183 sonsG5207 untoG1519 gloryG1391, to makeG5048 the captainG747 of theirG846 salvationG4991 perfectG5048 throughG1223 sufferingsG3804.
ForG1063 bothG5037 he that sanctifiethG37 andG2532 they who are sanctifiedG37 are allG3956 ofG1537 oneG1520: forG1223 whichG3739 causeG156 he isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 to callG2564 themG846 brethrenG80,
SayingG3004, I will declareG518 thyG4675 nameG3686 unto myG3450 brethrenG80, inG1722 the midstG3319 of the churchG1577 will I sing praiseG5214 unto theeG4571.
AndG2532 againG3825, IG1473 willG2071 put my trustG3982 inG1909 himG846. AndG2532 againG3825, BeholdG2400 IG1473 andG2532 the childrenG3813 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 meG3427.
ForasmuchG1893 thenG3767 as the childrenG3813 are partakersG2841 of fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, heG3348 alsoG2532 himselfG846 likewiseG3898 took partG3348 of the sameG846; thatG2443 throughG1223 deathG2288 he might destroyG2673 him that hadG2192 the powerG2904 of deathG2288, that isG5123, the devilG1228;
AndG2532 deliverG525 themG5128 whoG3745 throughG1223 fearG5401 of deathG2288 wereG2258 allG3956 their lifetimeG2198 subjectG1777 to bondageG1397.
ForG1063 verilyG1222 he tookG1949 notG3756 onG1949 him the nature of angelsG32; butG235 he took onG1949 him the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11. {took not…: Gr. taketh not hold of angels, but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold}
WhereforeG3606 inG2596 all thingsG3956 it behoved himG3784 to be made likeG3666 unto his brethrenG80, thatG2443 he might beG1096 a mercifulG1655 andG2532 faithfulG4103 high priestG749 in things pertaining toG4314 GodG2316, toG1519 make reconciliation forG2433 the sinsG266 of the peopleG2992.
ForG1063 inG1722 thatG3739 heG3958 himselfG846 hath sufferedG3958 being temptedG3985, he is ableG1410 to succourG997 them that are temptedG3985.
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}
AndG2532 they shallG1321 notG3364 teachG1321 every manG1538 hisG846 neighbourG4139, andG2532 every manG1538 hisG846 brotherG80, sayingG3004, KnowG1097 the LordG2962: forG3754 allG3956 shall knowG1492 meG3165, fromG575 the leastG3398+G846 toG2193 the greatestG3173+G846.
And it shall come to pass, that when anyH376 shall yet prophesyH5012, then his fatherH1 and his motherH517 that begatH3205 him shall sayH559 unto him, Thou shalt not liveH2421; for thou speakestH1696 liesH8267 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and his fatherH1 and his motherH517 that begatH3205 him shall thrustH1856 him through when he prophesiethH5012.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the prophetsH5030 shall be ashamedH954 every oneH376 of his visionH2384, when he hath prophesiedH5012; neither shall they wearH3847 a roughH8181 garmentH155 to deceiveH3584: {a rough…: Heb. a garment of hair} {deceive: Heb. lie}
But he shall sayH559, I am no prophetH5030, I am an husbandmanH376+H5647+H127; for manH120 taught me to keep cattleH7069 from my youthH5271.
And one shall sayH559 unto him, What are these woundsH4347 in thine handsH3027? Then he shall answerH559, Those with which I was woundedH5221 in the houseH1004 of my friendsH157.
