King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
I counsel thee to keepH8104 the king'sH4428 commandmentH6310, and that in regardH1700 of the oathH7621 of GodH430.
Be not hastyH926 to go outH3212 of his sightH6440: standH5975 not in an evilH7451 thingH1697; for he doethH6213 whatsoever pleasethH2654 him.
Where the wordH1697 of a kingH4428 is, there is powerH7983: and who may sayH559 unto him, What doestH6213 thou?
Whoso keepethH8104 the commandmentH4687 shall feelH3045 no evilH7451 thingH1697: and a wise man'sH2450 heartH3820 discernethH3045 both timeH6256 and judgmentH4941. {shall…: Heb. shall know}
Because to every purposeH2656 there isH3426 timeH6256 and judgmentH4941, therefore the miseryH7451 of manH120 is greatH7227 upon him.
For he knowethH3045 not that which shall be: for who can tellH5046 him when it shall be? {when…: or, how it shall be?}
There is no manH120 that hath powerH7989 over the spiritH7307 to retainH3607 the spiritH7307; neither hath he powerH7983 in the dayH3117 of deathH4194: and there is no dischargeH4917 in that warH4421; neither shall wickednessH7562 deliverH4422 those that are givenH1167 to it. {discharge: or, casting off weapons}
Let everyG3956 soulG5590 be subjectG5293 unto the higherG5242 powersG1849. ForG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 powerG1849 butG1508 ofG575 GodG2316+G1161: the powersG1849 that beG5607 areG1526 ordainedG5021 ofG5259 GodG2316. {ordained: or, ordered}
Whosoever thereforeG5620 resistethG498 the powerG1849, resistethG436 the ordinanceG1296 of GodG2316: andG1161 they that resistG436 shall receiveG2983 to themselvesG1438 damnationG2917.
ForG1063 rulersG758 areG1526 notG3756 a terrorG5401 to goodG18 worksG2041, butG235 to the evilG2556. Wilt thouG2309 thenG1161 notG3361 be afraidG5399 of the powerG1849? doG4160 that which is goodG18, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 praiseG1868 ofG1537 the sameG846:
ForG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to theeG4671 forG1519 goodG18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doG4160 that which is evilG2556, be afraidG5399; forG1063 he bearethG5409 notG3756 the swordG3162 in vainG1500: forG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316, a revengerG1558 to execute wrathG3709 uponG1519 him that doethG4238 evilG2556.
WhereforeG1352 ye must needsG318 be subjectG5293, notG3756 onlyG3440 forG1223 wrathG3709, butG235 alsoG2532 for conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.
ForG1063 forG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 pay yeG5055 tributeG5411 alsoG2532: forG1063 they areG1526 God'sG2316 ministersG3011, attending continuallyG4342 uponG1519 thisG5124 very thingG846.
RenderG591 thereforeG3767 to allG3956 their duesG3782: tributeG5411 to whomG3588 tributeG5411 is due; customG5056 to whomG3588 customG5056; fearG5401 to whomG3588 fearG5401; honourG5092 to whomG3588 honourG5092.
In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 cameH935 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 unto JerusalemH3389, and besiegedH6696 it.
And the LordH136 gaveH5414 JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into his handH3027, with partH7117 of the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430: which he carriedH935 into the landH776 of ShinarH8152 to the houseH1004 of his godH430; and he broughtH935 the vesselsH3627 into the treasureH214 houseH1004 of his godH430.
And the kingH4428 spakeH559 unto AshpenazH828 the masterH7227 of his eunuchsH5631, that he should bringH935 certain of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the king'sH4410 seedH2233, and of the princesH6579;
ChildrenH3206 in whom was no blemishH3971+H3971, but wellH2896 favouredH4758, and skilfulH7919 in all wisdomH2451, and cunningH3045 in knowledgeH1847, and understandingH995 scienceH4093, and such as had abilityH3581 in them to standH5975 in the king'sH4428 palaceH1964, and whom they might teachH3925 the learningH5612 and the tongueH3956 of the ChaldeansH3778.
And the kingH4428 appointedH4487 them a dailyH3117+H3117 provisionH1697 of the king'sH4428 meatH6598, and of the wineH3196 which he drankH4960: so nourishingH1431 them threeH7969 yearsH8141, that at the endH7117 thereof they might standH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428. {the wine…: Heb. the wine of his drink}
Now among these were of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, DanielH1840, HananiahH2608, MishaelH4332, and AzariahH5838:
Unto whom the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 gaveH7760 namesH8034: for he gaveH7760 unto DanielH1840 the name of BelteshazzarH1095; and to HananiahH2608, of ShadrachH7714; and to MishaelH4332, of MeshachH4335; and to AzariahH5838, of AbednegoH5664.
But DanielH1840 purposedH7760 in his heartH3820 that he would not defileH1351 himself with the portionH6598 of the king'sH4428 meatH6598, nor with the wineH3196 which he drankH4960: therefore he requestedH1245 of the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 that he might not defileH1351 himself.
Now GodH430 had broughtH5414 DanielH1840 into favourH2617 and tender loveH7356 withH6440 the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631.
And the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 saidH559 unto DanielH1840, I fearH3373 my lordH113 the kingH4428, who hath appointedH4487 your meatH3978 and your drinkH4960: for why should he seeH7200 your facesH6440 worse likingH2196 than the childrenH3206 which are of your sortH1524? then shall ye make me endangerH2325 my headH7218 to the kingH4428. {worse…: Heb. sadder} {sort: or, term, or, continuance?}
Then saidH559 DanielH1840 to MelzarH4453, whom the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 had setH4487 over DanielH1840, HananiahH2608, MishaelH4332, and AzariahH5838, {Melzar: or, the steward}
ProveH5254 thy servantsH5650, I beseech thee, tenH6235 daysH3117; and let them giveH5414 us pulseH2235 to eatH398, and waterH4325 to drinkH8354. {pulse: Heb. of pulse} {to eat…: Heb. that we may eat, etc}
Then let our countenancesH4758 be looked uponH7200 beforeH6440 thee, and the countenanceH4758 of the childrenH3206 that eatH398 of the portionH6598 of the king'sH4428 meatH6598: and as thou seestH7200, dealH6213 with thy servantsH5650.
So he consentedH8085 to them in this matterH1697, and provedH5254 them tenH6235 daysH3117.
And at the endH7117 of tenH6235 daysH3117 their countenancesH4758 appearedH7200 fairerH2896 and fatterH1277 in fleshH1320 than all the childrenH3206 which did eatH398 the portionH6598 of the king'sH4428 meatH6598.
Thus MelzarH4453 took awayH5375 the portion of their meatH6598, and the wineH3196 that they should drinkH4960; and gaveH5414 them pulseH2235.
As for these fourH702 childrenH3206, GodH430 gaveH5414 them knowledgeH4093 and skillH7919 in all learningH5612 and wisdomH2451: and DanielH1840 had understandingH995 in all visionsH2377 and dreamsH2472. {Daniel…: or, he made Daniel understand}
Now at the endH7117 of the daysH3117 that the kingH4428 had saidH559 he should bringH935 them in, then the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 broughtH935 them in beforeH6440 NebuchadnezzarH5019.
And the kingH4428 communedH1696 with them; and among them all was foundH4672 none like DanielH1840, HananiahH2608, MishaelH4332, and AzariahH5838: therefore stoodH5975 they beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
And in all mattersH1697 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, that the kingH4428 enquiredH1245 of them, he foundH4672 them ten timesH6235 betterH3027 than all the magiciansH2748 and astrologersH825 that were in all his realmH4438. {wisdom…: Heb. wisdom of understanding}
My sonH1121, fearH3372 thou the LORDH3068 and the kingH4428: and meddleH6148 not with them that are given to changeH8138: {them…: Heb. changers}
For their calamityH343 shall riseH6965 suddenlyH6597; and who knowethH3045 the ruinH6365 of them bothH8147?
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 the other apostlesG652 answeredG611 and saidG2036, We oughtG1163 to obeyG3980 GodG2316 ratherG3123 thanG2228 menG444.
NebuchadnezzarH5020 spakeH6032 and saidH560 unto them, Is it trueH6656, O ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, do notH3809 yeH383 serveH6399 my godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 which I have setH6966 up? {true: or, of purpose}
NowH3705 ifH2006 ye beH383 readyH6263 that at what timeH5732 ye hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the cornetH7162, fluteH4953, harpH7030+H7030, sackbutH5443, psalteryH6460, and dulcimerH5481, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musickH2170, ye fall downH5308 and worshipH5457 the imageH6755 which I have madeH5648; well: but ifH2006 ye worshipH5457 notH3809, ye shall be castH7412 the same hourH8160 into the midstH1459 of a burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861; and whoH4479 is that GodH426 that shall deliverH7804 you out ofH4481 my handsH3028?
ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, answeredH6032 and saidH560 to the kingH4430, O NebuchadnezzarH5020, weH586 are notH3809 carefulH2818 to answerH8421 thee inH5922 thisH1836 matterH6600.
IfH2006 it be so, our GodH426 whom weH586 serveH6399 isH383 ableH3202 to deliverH7804 us fromH4481 the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861, andH4481 he will deliverH7804 us out ofH4481 thine handH3028, O kingH4430.
But ifH2006 notH3809, be itH1934 knownH3046 unto thee, O kingH4430, that we willH383 notH3809 serveH6399 thy godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 which thou hast set upH6966.
Then cameH935 all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to DavidH1732 unto HebronH2275, and spakeH559, sayingH559, Behold, we are thy boneH6106 and thy fleshH1320.
Also in time pastH865+H8032, when SaulH7586 was kingH4428 over us, thou wast he that leddest outH3318 and broughtest inH935 IsraelH3478: and the LORDH3068 saidH559 to thee, Thou shalt feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and thou shalt be a captainH5057 over IsraelH3478.
So all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the kingH4428 to HebronH2275; and kingH4428 DavidH1732 madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them in HebronH2275 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 between the LORDH3068 and the kingH4428 and the peopleH5971, that they should be the LORD'SH3068 peopleH5971; between the kingH4428 also and the peopleH5971.
And all the princesH8269, and the mighty menH1368, and all the sonsH1121 likewise of kingH4428 DavidH1732, submitted themselvesH5414+H3027+H8478 unto SolomonH8010 the kingH4428. {submitted…: Heb. gave the hand under Solomon}
Submit yourselvesG5293 to everyG3956 ordinanceG2937 of manG442 forG1223 the Lord's sakeG2962: whether it beG1535 to the kingG935, asG5613 supremeG5242;
OrG1535 unto governorsG2232, asG5613 unto them that are sentG3992 byG1223 himG846 forG1519+G3303 the punishmentG1557 of evildoersG2555, andG1161 for the praiseG1868 of them that do wellG17.
ForG3754 soG3779 isG2076 the willG2307 of GodG2316, that with well doingG15 ye may put to silenceG5392 the ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 menG444:
AsG5613 freeG1658, andG2532 notG3361 usingG2192 your libertyG1657 forG5613 a clokeG1942 of maliciousnessG2549, butG235 asG5613 the servantsG1401 of GodG2316. {using: Gr. having}
And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 was fledH5127 unto the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068; and, behold, he is byH681 the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, GoH3212, fallH6293 upon him.
And BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Come forthH3318. And he saidH559, Nay; but I will dieH4191 here. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, sayingH559, Thus saidH1696 JoabH3097, and thus he answeredH6030 me.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 as he hath saidH1696, and fallH6293 upon him, and buryH6912 him; that thou mayest take awayH5493 the innocentH2600 bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210, from me, and from the houseH1004 of my fatherH1.
And the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 his bloodH1818 upon his own headH7218, who fellH6293 upon twoH8147 menH582 more righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, my fatherH1 DavidH1732 not knowingH3045 thereof, to wit, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of JudahH3063.
Their bloodH1818 shall therefore returnH7725 upon the headH7218 of JoabH3097, and upon the headH7218 of his seedH2233 for everH5769: but upon DavidH1732, and upon his seedH2233, and upon his houseH1004, and upon his throneH3678, shall there be peaceH7965 forH5704 everH5769 from the LORDH3068.
So BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 went upH5927, and fellH6293 upon him, and slewH4191 him: and he was buriedH6912 in his own houseH1004 in the wildernessH4057.
And the kingH4428 putH5414 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 in his room over the hostH6635: and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 did the kingH4428 putH5414 in the room of AbiatharH54.
And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, BuildH1129 thee an houseH1004 in JerusalemH3389, and dwellH3427 there, and go not forthH3318 thence any whitherH575.
For it shall be, that on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and passest overH5674 the brookH5158 KidronH6939, thou shalt knowH3045 for certainH3045 that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191: thy bloodH1818 shall be upon thine own headH7218.
And ShimeiH8096 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, The sayingH1697 is goodH2896: as my lordH113 the kingH4428 hath saidH1696, so will thy servantH5650 doH6213. And ShimeiH8096 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 manyH7227 daysH3117.
And it came to pass at the endH7093 of threeH7969 yearsH8141, that twoH8147 of the servantsH5650 of ShimeiH8096 ran awayH1272 unto AchishH397 sonH1121 of MaachahH4601 kingH4428 of GathH1661. And they toldH5046 ShimeiH8096, sayingH559, Behold, thy servantsH5650 be in GathH1661.
And ShimeiH8096 aroseH6965, and saddledH2280 his assH2543, and wentH3212 to GathH1661 to AchishH397 to seekH1245 his servantsH5650: and ShimeiH8096 wentH3212, and broughtH935 his servantsH5650 from GathH1661.
And it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010 that ShimeiH8096 had goneH1980 from JerusalemH3389 to GathH1661, and was come againH7725.
And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, Did I not make thee to swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, and protestedH5749 unto thee, sayingH559, KnowH3045 for a certainH3045, on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and walkestH1980 abroad any whitherH575, that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191? and thou saidstH559 unto me, The wordH1697 that I have heardH8085 is goodH2896.
Why then hast thou not keptH8104 the oathH7621 of the LORDH3068, and the commandmentH4687 that I have chargedH6680 thee with?
The kingH4428 saidH559 moreover to ShimeiH8096, Thou knowestH3045 all the wickednessH7451 which thine heartH3824 is privy toH3045, that thou didstH6213 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1: therefore the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 thy wickednessH7451 upon thine own headH7218;
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 shall be blessedH1288, and the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 forH5704 everH5769.
So the kingH4428 commandedH6680 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; which went outH3318, and fellH6293 upon him, that he diedH4191. And the kingdomH4467 was establishedH3559 in the handH3027 of SolomonH8010.
AndG2532 the kingG935 was sorryG3076: nevertheless forG1161+G1223 the oath's sakeG3727, andG2532 them which sat with him at meatG4873, he commandedG2753 it to be givenG1325 her.
AndG2532 he sentG3992, and beheadedG607 JohnG2491 inG1722 the prisonG5438.
JesusG2424 answeredG611, Thou couldest haveG2192 noG3756 powerG1849 at all againstG3762+G2596 meG1700, exceptG1508 it wereG2258 givenG1325 theeG4671 from aboveG509: thereforeG5124+G1223 he that deliveredG3860 meG3165 unto theeG4671 hathG2192 the greaterG3187 sinG266.
And SamuelH8050 toldH559 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto the peopleH5971 that askedH7592 of him a kingH4428.
And he saidH559, This will be the mannerH4941 of the kingH4428 that shall reignH4427 over you: He will takeH3947 your sonsH1121, and appointH7760 them for himself, for his chariotsH4818, and to be his horsemenH6571; and some shall runH7323 beforeH6440 his chariotsH4818.
And he will appointH7760 him captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over fiftiesH2572; and will set them to earH2790 his groundH2758, and to reapH7114 his harvestH7105, and to makeH6213 his instrumentsH3627 of warH4421, and instrumentsH3627 of his chariotsH7393.
And he will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to be confectionariesH7548, and to be cooksH2879, and to be bakersH644.
And he will takeH3947 your fieldsH7704, and your vineyardsH3754, and your oliveyardsH2132, even the bestH2896 of them, and giveH5414 them to his servantsH5650.
And he will take the tenthH6237 of your seedH2233, and of your vineyardsH3754, and giveH5414 to his officersH5631, and to his servantsH5650. {officers: Heb. eunuchs}
And he will takeH3947 your menservantsH5650, and your maidservantsH8198, and your goodliestH2896 young menH970, and your assesH2543, and putH6213 them to his workH4399.
He will take the tenthH6237 of your sheepH6629: and ye shall be his servantsH5650.
And ye shall cry outH2199 in that dayH3117 becauseH6440 of your kingH4428 which ye shall have chosenH977 you; and the LORDH3068 will not hearH6030 you in that dayH3117.
Behold, he taketh awayH2862, who can hinderH7725 him? who will sayH559 unto him, What doestH6213 thou? {hinder…: Heb. turn him away?}
WoeH1945 unto him that strivethH7378 with his MakerH3335! Let the potsherdH2789 strive with the potsherdsH2789 of the earthH127. Shall the clayH2563 sayH559 to him that fashionethH3335 it, What makestH6213 thou? or thy workH6467, He hath no handsH3027?
Nay butG3304, OG5599 manG444, whoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771 that repliest againstG470 GodG2316+G3361? ShallG2046 the thing formedG4110 sayG2046 to him that formedG4111 it, WhyG5101 hast thou madeG4160 meG3165 thusG3779? {repliest…: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?}
ForG1063 rulersG758 areG1526 notG3756 a terrorG5401 to goodG18 worksG2041, butG235 to the evilG2556. Wilt thouG2309 thenG1161 notG3361 be afraidG5399 of the powerG1849? doG4160 that which is goodG18, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 praiseG1868 ofG1537 the sameG846:
ForG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to theeG4671 forG1519 goodG18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doG4160 that which is evilG2556, be afraidG5399; forG1063 he bearethG5409 notG3756 the swordG3162 in vainG1500: forG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316, a revengerG1558 to execute wrathG3709 uponG1519 him that doethG4238 evilG2556.
LoveG26 workethG2038 noG3756 illG2556 to his neighbourG4139: thereforeG3767 loveG26 is the fulfillingG4138 of the lawG3551.
And JonathanH3083 spakeH1696 goodH2896 of DavidH1732 unto SaulH7586 his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto him, Let not the kingH4428 sinH2398 against his servantH5650, against DavidH1732; because he hath not sinnedH2398 against thee, and because his worksH4639 have been to thee-ward veryH3966 goodH2896:
For he did putH7760 his lifeH5315 in his handH3709, and slewH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and the LORDH3068 wroughtH6213 a greatH1419 salvationH8668 for all IsraelH3478: thou sawestH7200 it, and didst rejoiceH8055: wherefore then wilt thou sinH2398 against innocentH5355 bloodH1818, to slayH4191 DavidH1732 without a causeH2600?
And SaulH7586 hearkenedH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of JonathanH3083: and SaulH7586 swareH7650, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, he shall notH518 be slainH4191.
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 NathanH5416 unto DavidH1732. And he cameH935 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, There were twoH8147 menH582 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the otherH259 poorH7326.
The richH6223 man had exceedingH3966 manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241:
But the poorH7326 man had nothing, save oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lambH3535, which he had boughtH7069 and nourished upH2421: and it grew upH1431 togetherH3162 with him, and with his childrenH1121; it did eatH398 of his own meatH6595, and drankH8354 of his own cupH3563, and layH7901 in his bosomH2436, and was unto him as a daughterH1323. {meat: Heb. morsel}
And there cameH935 a travellerH1982 unto the richH6223 manH376, and he sparedH2550 to takeH3947 of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to dressH6213 for the wayfaring manH732 that was comeH935 unto him; but tookH3947 the poorH7326 man'sH376 lambH3535, and dressedH6213 it for the manH376 that was comeH935 to him.
And David'sH1732 angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against the manH376; and he saidH559 to NathanH5416, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the manH376 that hath doneH6213 this thing shall surelyH1121 dieH4194: {shall…: or, is worthy to die, or, is a son of death}
And he shall restoreH7999 the lambH3535 fourfoldH706, becauseH6118 he didH6213 this thingH1697, and becauseH834 he had no pityH2550.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376. Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337 thee out of the handH3027 of SaulH7586;
And I gaveH5414 thee thy master'sH113 houseH1004, and thy master'sH113 wivesH802 into thy bosomH2436, and gaveH5414 thee the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063; and if that had been too littleH4592, I would moreover have givenH3254 unto thee suchH2007 and such thingsH2007.
Wherefore hast thou despisedH959 the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 evilH7451 in his sightH5869? thou hast killedH5221 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 with the swordH2719, and hast takenH3947 his wifeH802 to be thy wifeH802, and hast slainH2026 him with the swordH2719 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
Now therefore the swordH2719 shall neverH5704+H5769 departH5493 from thine houseH1004; becauseH6118 thou hast despisedH959 me, and hast takenH3947 the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to be thy wifeH802.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will raise upH6965 evilH7451 against thee out of thine own houseH1004, and I will takeH3947 thy wivesH802 before thine eyesH5869, and giveH5414 them unto thy neighbourH7453, and he shall lieH7901 with thy wivesH802 in the sightH5869 of this sunH8121.
For thou didstH6213 it secretlyH5643: but I will doH6213 this thingH1697 before all IsraelH3478, and before the sunH8121.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto NathanH5416, I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068. And NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, The LORDH3068 also hath put awayH5674 thy sinH2403; thou shalt not dieH4191.
HowbeitH657, because by this deedH1697 thou hast givenH5006 great occasionH5006 to the enemiesH341 of the LORDH3068 to blasphemeH5006, the childH1121 also that is bornH3209 unto thee shall surelyH4191 dieH4191.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 again unto EstherH635 on the secondH8145 dayH3117 at the banquetH4960 of wineH3196, What is thy petitionH7596, queenH4436 EstherH635? and it shall be grantedH5414 thee: and what is thy requestH1246? and it shall be performedH6213, even to the halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438.
Then EstherH635 the queenH4436 answeredH6030 and saidH559, If I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, O kingH4428, and if it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, let my lifeH5315 be givenH5414 me at my petitionH7596, and my peopleH5971 at my requestH1246:
For we are soldH4376, I and my peopleH5971, to be destroyedH8045, to be slainH2026, and to perishH6. But ifH432 we had been soldH4376 for bondmenH5650 and bondwomenH8198, I had held my tongueH2790, although the enemyH6862 could not countervailH7737 the king'sH4428 damageH5143. {to be destroyed…: Heb. that they should destroy, and kill, and cause to perish}
BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105; GodG2316 isG3456 notG3756 mockedG3456: forG1063 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 a manG444 sowethG4687, thatG5124 shall heG2325 alsoG2532 reapG2325.
DeclaringH5046 the endH319 from the beginningH7225, and from ancient timesH6924 the things that are not yet doneH6213, sayingH559, My counselH6098 shall standH6965, and I will doH6213 all my pleasureH2656:
CallingH7121 a ravenous birdH5861 from the eastH4217, the manH376 that executeth my counselH6098 from a farH4801 countryH776: yea, I have spokenH1696 it, I will also bringH935 it to pass; I have purposedH3335 it, I will also doH6213 it. {that…: Heb. of my counsel}
AndG2532 there shall beG2071 signsG4592 inG1722 the sunG2246, andG2532 in the moonG4582, andG2532 in the starsG798; andG2532 uponG1909 the earthG1093 distressG4928 of nationsG1484, withG1722 perplexityG640; the seaG2281 andG2532 the wavesG4535 roaringG2278;
Men'sG444 hearts failing themG674 forG575 fearG5401, andG2532 for looking afterG4329 those things which are coming onG1904 the earthG3625: forG1063 the powersG1411 of heavenG3772 shall be shakenG4531.
But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:
And in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 NebuchadnezzarH5019 dreamedH2492 dreamsH2472, wherewith his spiritH7307 was troubledH6470, and his sleepH8142 brakeH1961 from him.
Then the kingH4428 commandedH559 to callH7121 the magiciansH2748, and the astrologersH825, and the sorcerersH3784, and the ChaldeansH3778, for to shewH5046 the kingH4428 his dreamsH2472. So they cameH935 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto them, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and my spiritH7307 was troubledH6470 to knowH3045 the dreamH2472.
Then spakeH1696 the ChaldeansH3778 to the kingH4428 in SyriackH762, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957: tellH560 thy servantsH5649 the dreamH2493, and we will shewH2324 the interpretationH6591.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560 to the ChaldeansH3779, The thingH4406 is goneH230 from meH4481: ifH2006 ye will notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493, with the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall be cutH5648 in piecesH1917, and your housesH1005 shall be madeH7761 a dunghillH5122. {cut…: Cald. made pieces}
But ifH2006 ye shewH2324 the dreamH2493, and the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall receiveH6902 ofH4481 meH6925 giftsH4978 and rewardsH5023 and greatH7690 honourH3367: thereforeH3861 shewH2324 me the dreamH2493, and the interpretationH6591 thereof. {rewards: or, fee}
They answeredH6032 againH8579 and saidH560, Let the kingH4430 tellH560 his servantsH5649 the dreamH2493, and we will shewH2324 the interpretationH6591 of it.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560, IH576 knowH3046 ofH4481 certaintyH3330 that yeH608 would gainH2084 the timeH5732, becauseH6903+H3606 ye seeH2370 the thingH4406 is goneH230 fromH4481 me. {gain: Cald. buy}
But ifH2006 ye will notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493, there is but oneH1932+H2298 decreeH1882 for you: for ye have preparedH2164 lyingH3538 and corruptH7844 wordsH4406 to speakH560 beforeH6925 me, tillH5705 the timeH5732 be changedH8133: thereforeH3861 tellH560 me the dreamH2493, and I shall knowH3046 thatH1768 ye can shewH2324 me the interpretationH6591 thereof.
The ChaldeansH3779 answeredH6032 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and saidH560, There isH383 notH3809 a manH606 uponH5922 the earthH3007 that canH3202 shewH2324 the king'sH4430 matterH4406: thereforeH6903+H1768 there is noH3809 kingH4430, lordH7229, nor rulerH7990, that askedH7593 suchH1836 thingsH4406 at anyH3606 magicianH2749, or astrologerH826, or ChaldeanH3779.
And it is a rareH3358 thingH4406 that the kingH4430 requirethH7593, and there isH383 noneH3809 otherH321 that can shewH2324 it beforeH6925 the kingH4430, exceptH3861 the godsH426, whose dwellingH4070 isH383 notH3809 withH5974 fleshH1321.
ForH6903 thisH1836 causeH3606 the kingH4430 was angryH1149 and veryH7690 furiousH7108, and commandedH560 to destroyH7 allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895.
SeeH7200 now that I, even I, am he, and there is no godH430 with me: I killH4191, and I make aliveH2421; I woundH4272, and I healH7495: neither is there any that can deliverH5337 out of my handH3027.
My timesH6256 are in thy handH3027: deliverH5337 me from the handH3027 of mine enemiesH341, and from them that persecuteH7291 me.
LORDH3068, make me to knowH3045 mine endH7093, and the measureH4060 of my daysH3117, what it is; that I may knowH3045 how frailH2310 I am. {how…: or, what time I have here}
SeeingH518 his daysH3117 are determinedH2782, the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 are with thee, thou hast appointedH6213 his boundsH2706 that he cannot passH5674;
From twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, all that are able to go forthH3318 to warH6635 in IsraelH3478: thou and AaronH175 shall numberH6485 them by their armiesH6635.
And the officersH7860 shall speakH1696 unto the peopleH5971, sayingH559, What manH376 is there that hath builtH1129 a newH2319 houseH1004, and hath not dedicatedH2596 it? let him goH3212 and returnH7725 to his houseH1004, lest he dieH4191 in the battleH4421, and anotherH312 manH376 dedicateH2596 it.
And what manH376 is he that hath plantedH5193 a vineyardH3754, and hath not yet eatenH2490 of it? let him also goH3212 and returnH7725 unto his houseH1004, lest he dieH4191 in the battleH4421, and anotherH312 manH376 eatH2490 of it. {eaten…: Heb. made it common}
And what manH376 is there that hath betrothedH781 a wifeH802, and hath not takenH3947 her? let him goH3212 and returnH7725 unto his houseH1004, lest he dieH4191 in the battleH4421, and anotherH312 manH376 takeH3947 her.
And the officersH7860 shall speakH1696 furtherH3254 unto the peopleH5971, and they shall sayH559, What manH376 is there that is fearfulH3373 and faintheartedH7390+H3824? let him goH3212 and returnH7725 unto his houseH1004, lest his brethren'sH251 heartH3824 faintH4549 as well as his heartH3824. {faint: Heb. melt}
ForG1063 the wagesG3800 of sinG266 is deathG2288; butG1161 the giftG5486 of GodG2316 is eternalG166 lifeG2222 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
