King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
In the daysH3117 of ShamgarH8044 the sonH1121 of AnathH6067, in the daysH3117 of JaelH3278, the highwaysH734 were unoccupiedH2308, and the travellersH1980 walkedH3212 through bywaysH6128+H5410. {travellers: Heb. walkers of paths} {byways: Heb. crooked ways}
The inhabitants of the villagesH6520 ceasedH2308, they ceasedH2308 in IsraelH3478, until that I DeborahH1683 aroseH6965, that I aroseH6965 a motherH517 in IsraelH3478.
They choseH977 newH2319 godsH430; then was warH3901 in the gatesH8179: was there a shieldH4043 or spearH7420 seenH7200 among fortyH705 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478?
And afterH310 him was ShamgarH8044 the sonH1121 of AnathH6067, which slewH5221 of the PhilistinesH6430 sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 with an oxH1241 goadH4451: and he also deliveredH3467 IsraelH3478.
Ye shall makeH6213 you no idolsH457 nor graven imageH6459, neither rear you upH6965 a standing imageH4676, neither shall ye set upH5414 any imageH4906 of stoneH68 in your landH776, to bow downH7812 unto it: for I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430. {standing…: or, pillar} {image of…: or, figured stone: Heb. a stone of picture}
Ye shall keepH8104 my sabbathsH7676, and reverenceH3372 my sanctuaryH4720: I am the LORDH3068.
If ye walkH3212 in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and doH6213 them;
Then I will giveH5414 you rainH1653 in due seasonH6256, and the landH776 shall yieldH5414 her increaseH2981, and the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall yieldH5414 their fruitH6529.
And your threshingH1786 shall reachH5381 unto the vintageH1210, and the vintageH1210 shall reachH5381 unto the sowing timeH2233: and ye shall eatH398 your breadH3899 to the fullH7648, and dwellH3427 in your landH776 safelyH983.
And I will giveH5414 peaceH7965 in the landH776, and ye shall lie downH7901, and none shall make you afraidH2729: and I will ridH7673 evilH7451 beastsH2416 out of the landH776, neither shall the swordH2719 goH5674 through your landH776. {rid: Heb. cause to cease}
And ye shall chaseH7291 your enemiesH341, and they shall fallH5307 beforeH6440 you by the swordH2719.
And fiveH2568 of you shall chaseH7291 an hundredH3967, and an hundredH3967 of you shall put ten thousandH7233 to flightH7291: and your enemiesH341 shall fallH5307 beforeH6440 you by the swordH2719.
For I will have respectH6437 unto you, and make you fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 you, and establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with you.
And ye shall eatH398 old storeH3462, and bring forthH3318 the oldH3465 becauseH6440 of the newH2319.
And I will setH5414 my tabernacleH4908 amongH8432 you: and my soulH5315 shall not abhorH1602 you.
And I will walkH1980 amongH8432 you, and will beH1961 your GodH430, and ye shall beH1961 my peopleH5971.
I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which brought you forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that ye should not be their bondmenH5650; and I have brokenH7665 the bandsH4133 of your yokeH5923, and made you goH3212 uprightH6968.
But if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto me, and will not doH6213 all these commandmentsH4687;
And if ye shall despiseH3988 my statutesH2708, or if your soulH5315 abhorH1602 my judgmentsH4941, so that ye will not doH6213 all my commandmentsH4687, but that ye breakH6565 my covenantH1285:
I also will doH6213 this unto you; I will even appointH6485 over you terrorH928, consumptionH7829, and the burning agueH6920, that shall consumeH3615 the eyesH5869, and cause sorrowH1727 of heartH5315: and ye shall sowH2232 your seedH2233 in vainH7385, for your enemiesH341 shall eatH398 it. {over: Heb. upon}
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against you, and ye shall be slainH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341: they that hateH8130 you shall reignH7287 over you; and ye shall fleeH5127 when none pursuethH7291 you.
And if ye will not yetH5704 for all this hearkenH8085 unto me, then I will punishH3256 you seven timesH7651 moreH3254 for your sinsH2403.
And I will breakH7665 the prideH1347 of your powerH5797; and I will makeH5414 your heavenH8064 as ironH1270, and your earthH776 as brassH5154:
And your strengthH3581 shall be spentH8552 in vainH7385: for your landH776 shall not yieldH5414 her increaseH2981, neither shall the treesH6086 of the landH776 yieldH5414 their fruitsH6529.
And if ye walkH3212 contraryH7147 unto me, and willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me; I will bringH3254 seven timesH7651 moreH3254 plaguesH4347 upon you according to your sinsH2403. {contrary…: or, at all adventures with me}
I will also sendH7971 wildH7704 beastsH2416 among you, which shall rob you of your childrenH7921, and destroyH3772 your cattleH929, and make you few in numberH4591; and your high waysH1870 shall be desolateH8074.
And if ye will not be reformedH3256 by me by these things, but will walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
Then will I also walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto you, and will punishH5221 you yetH1571 seven timesH7651 for your sinsH2403.
And I will bringH935 a swordH2719 upon you, that shall avengeH5358 the quarrelH5359 of my covenantH1285: and when ye are gathered togetherH622 withinH413 your citiesH5892, I will sendH7971 the pestilenceH1698 amongH8432 you; and ye shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And when I have brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of your breadH3899, tenH6235 womenH802 shall bakeH644 your breadH3899 in oneH259 ovenH8574, and they shall deliverH7725 you your breadH3899 againH7725 by weightH4948: and ye shall eatH398, and not be satisfiedH7646.
And if ye will not for all thisH2063 hearkenH8085 unto me, but walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
Then I will walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto you also in furyH2534; and I, evenH637 I, will chastiseH3256 you seven timesH7651 for your sinsH2403.
And ye shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your sonsH1121, and the fleshH1320 of your daughtersH1323 shall ye eatH398.
And I will destroyH8045 your high placesH1116, and cut downH3772 your imagesH2553, and castH5414 your carcasesH6297 upon the carcasesH6297 of your idolsH1544, and my soulH5315 shall abhorH1602 you.
And I will makeH5414 your citiesH5892 wasteH2723, and bringH8074 your sanctuariesH4720 unto desolationH8074, and I will not smellH7306 the savourH7381 of your sweet odoursH5207.
And I will bringH8074 the landH776 into desolationH8074: and your enemiesH341 which dwellH3427 therein shall be astonishedH8074 at it.
And I will scatterH2219 you among the heathenH1471, and will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 you: and your landH776 shall be desolateH8077, and your citiesH5892 wasteH2723.
Then shall the landH776 enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676, as longH3117 as it lieth desolateH8074, and ye be in your enemies'H341 landH776; even then shall the landH776 restH7673, and enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676.
As long asH3117 it lieth desolateH8074 it shall restH7673; because it did not restH7673 in your sabbathsH7676, when ye dweltH3427 upon it.
And upon them that are leftH7604 alive of you I will sendH935 a faintnessH4816 into their heartsH3824 in the landsH776 of their enemiesH341; and the soundH6963 of a shakenH5086 leafH5929 shall chaseH7291 them; and they shall fleeH5127, as fleeingH4499 from a swordH2719; and they shall fallH5307 when none pursuethH7291. {shaken: Heb. driven}
And they shall fallH3782 oneH376 upon anotherH251, as it were beforeH6440 a swordH2719, when none pursuethH7291: and ye shall have no power to standH8617 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341.
And ye shall perishH6 among the heathenH1471, and the landH776 of your enemiesH341 shall eat you upH398.
And they that are leftH7604 of you shall pine awayH4743 in their iniquityH5771 in your enemies'H341 landsH776; and also in the iniquitiesH5771 of their fathersH1 shall they pine awayH4743 with them.
If they shall confessH3034 their iniquityH5771, and the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1, with their trespassH4604 which they trespassedH4603 against me, and that also they have walkedH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
And that I also have walkedH3212 contraryH7147 unto them, and have broughtH935 them into the landH776 of their enemiesH341; if thenH176 their uncircumcisedH6189 heartsH3824 be humbledH3665, and they then acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771:
Then will I rememberH2142 my covenantH1285 with JacobH3290, and also my covenantH1285 with IsaacH3327, and also my covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85 will I rememberH2142; and I will rememberH2142 the landH776.
The landH776 also shall be leftH5800 of them, and shall enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676, while she lieth desolateH8074 without them: and they shall acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771: becauseH3282, even becauseH3282 they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and because their soulH5315 abhorredH1602 my statutesH2708.
And yetH637 for all thatH2063, when they beH1571 in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, I will not cast them awayH3988, neither will I abhorH1602 them, to destroy them utterlyH3615, and to breakH6565 my covenantH1285 with them: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
But I will for their sakes rememberH2142 the covenantH1285 of their ancestorsH7223, whom I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, that I might be their GodH430: I am the LORDH3068.
These are the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 and lawsH8451, which the LORDH3068 madeH5414 between him and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in mountH2022 SinaiH5514 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
I will also sendH7971 wildH7704 beastsH2416 among you, which shall rob you of your childrenH7921, and destroyH3772 your cattleH929, and make you few in numberH4591; and your high waysH1870 shall be desolateH8074.
The wildernessH4057 and the solitary placeH6723 shall be gladH7797 for them; and the desertH6160 shall rejoiceH1523, and blossomH6524 as the roseH2261.
It shall blossomH6524 abundantlyH6524, and rejoiceH1523 even with joyH1525 and singingH7444: the gloryH3519 of LebanonH3844 shall be givenH5414 unto it, the excellencyH1926 of CarmelH3760 and SharonH8289, they shall seeH7200 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068, and the excellencyH1926 of our GodH430.
StrengthenH2388 ye the weakH7504 handsH3027, and confirmH553 the feebleH3782 kneesH1290.
SayH559 to them that are of a fearfulH4116 heartH3820, Be strongH2388, fearH3372 not: behold, your GodH430 will comeH935 with vengeanceH5359, even GodH430 with a recompenceH1576; he will comeH935 and saveH3467 you. {fearful: Heb. hasty}
Then the eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 shall be openedH6491, and the earsH241 of the deafH2795 shall be unstoppedH6605.
Then shall the lameH6455 man leapH1801 as an hartH354, and the tongueH3956 of the dumbH483 singH7442: for in the wildernessH4057 shall watersH4325 break outH1234, and streamsH5158 in the desertH6160.
And the parched groundH8273 shall become a poolH98, and the thirsty landH6774 springsH4002 of waterH4325: in the habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, where each layH7258, shall be grassH2682 with reedsH7070 and rushesH1573. {grass…: or, a court for reeds, etc}
And an highwayH4547 shall be there, and a wayH1870, and it shall be calledH7121 The wayH1870 of holinessH6944; the uncleanH2931 shall not pass overH5674 it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring menH1980, though foolsH191, shall not errH8582 therein. {but…: or, for he shall be with them}
No lionH738 shall be there, nor any ravenousH6530 beastH2416 shall go upH5927 thereon, it shall not be foundH4672 there; but the redeemedH1350 shall walkH1980 there:
And the ransomedH6299 of the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725, and comeH935 to ZionH6726 with songsH7440 and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 upon their headsH7218: they shall obtainH5381 joyH8057 and gladnessH8342, and sorrowH3015 and sighingH585 shall flee awayH5127.
And an highwayH4547 shall be there, and a wayH1870, and it shall be calledH7121 The wayH1870 of holinessH6944; the uncleanH2931 shall not pass overH5674 it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring menH1980, though foolsH191, shall not errH8582 therein. {but…: or, for he shall be with them}
No lionH738 shall be there, nor any ravenousH6530 beastH2416 shall go upH5927 thereon, it shall not be foundH4672 there; but the redeemedH1350 shall walkH1980 there:
And the ransomedH6299 of the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725, and comeH935 to ZionH6726 with songsH7440 and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 upon their headsH7218: they shall obtainH5381 joyH8057 and gladnessH8342, and sorrowH3015 and sighingH585 shall flee awayH5127.
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for the LORDH3068 hath a controversyH7379 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, because there is no truthH571, nor mercyH2617, nor knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 in the landH776.
My peopleH5971 are destroyedH1820 for lack of knowledgeH1847: because thou hast rejectedH3988 knowledgeH1847, I will also rejectH3988 thee, that thou shalt be no priestH3547 to me: seeing thou hast forgottenH7911 the lawH8451 of thy GodH430, I will also forgetH7911 thy childrenH1121. {destroyed: Heb. cut off}
ButG235 we wereG1096 gentleG2261 amongG1722+G3319 youG5216, even asG5613 a nurseG5162 cherishethG302+G2282 herG1438 childrenG5043:
AsG2509 ye knowG1492 howG5613 we exhortedG3870 andG2532 comfortedG3888 and chargedG3140 everyG1538 oneG1520 of youG5209+G5216, asG5613 a fatherG3962 doth hisG1438 childrenG5043,
ThatG1519 yeG5209 would walkG4043 worthyG516 of GodG2316, who hath calledG2564 youG5209 untoG1519 hisG1438 kingdomG932 andG2532 gloryG1391.
AndG1161 there wasG1096 alsoG2532 a strifeG5379 amongG1722 themG846, whichG5101 of themG846 should be accountedG1380+G1511 the greatestG3187.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto themG846, The kingsG935 of the GentilesG1484 exercise lordship overG2961 themG846; andG2532 they that exercise authority uponG1850 themG846 are calledG2564 benefactorsG2110.
ButG1161 yeG5210 shall notG3756 be soG3779: butG235 he that is greatestG3187 amongG1722 youG5213, let him beG1096 asG5613 the youngerG3501; andG2532 he that is chiefG2233, asG5613 he that doth serveG1247.
ForG1063 whetherG5101 is greaterG3187, he that sitteth at meatG345, orG2228 he that servethG1247? is notG3780 he that sitteth at meatG345? butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 amongG1722+G3319 youG5216 asG5613 he that servethG1247.
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. GodH430 standethH5324 in the congregationH5712 of the mightyH410; he judgethH8199 amongH7130 the godsH430. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
Then wentH5927 BoazH1162 upH5927 to the gateH8179, and sat him downH3427 there: and, behold, the kinsmanH1350 of whom BoazH1162 spakeH1696 cameH5674 by; unto whom he saidH559, HoH1945, suchH6423 a oneH492! turn asideH5493, sit downH3427 here. And he turned asideH5493, and sat downH3427.
And he tookH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and saidH559, Sit ye downH3427 here. And they sat downH3427.
And he saidH559 unto the kinsmanH1350, NaomiH5281, that is come againH7725 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, sellethH4376 a parcelH2513 of landH7704, which was our brotherH251 Elimelech'sH458:
And I thoughtH559 to advertiseH1540+H241 thee, sayingH559, BuyH7069 it before the inhabitantsH3427, and before the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971. If thou wilt redeemH1350 it, redeemH1350 it: but if thou wilt not redeemH1350 it, then tellH5046 me, that I may knowH3045: for there is none to redeemH1350 it besideH2108 thee; and I am afterH310 thee. And he saidH559, I will redeemH1350 it. {I thought…: Heb. I said, I will reveal in thine ear}
Then saidH559 BoazH1162, What dayH3117 thou buyestH7069 the fieldH7704 of the handH3027 of NaomiH5281, thou must buyH7069 it also of RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, the wifeH802 of the deadH4191, to raise upH6965 the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 upon his inheritanceH5159.
And the kinsmanH1350 saidH559, I cannotH3201 redeemH1350 it for myself, lest I marH7843 mine own inheritanceH5159: redeemH1350 thou my rightH1353 to thyself; for I cannotH3201 redeemH1350 it.
Now this was the manner in former timeH6440 in IsraelH3478 concerning redeemingH1353 and concerning changingH8545, for to confirmH6965 all thingsH1697; a manH376 plucked offH8025 his shoeH5275, and gaveH5414 it to his neighbourH7453: and this was a testimonyH8584 in IsraelH3478.
Therefore the kinsmanH1350 saidH559 unto BoazH1162, BuyH7069 it for thee. So he drew offH8025 his shoeH5275.
And BoazH1162 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205, and unto all the peopleH5971, Ye are witnessesH5707 this dayH3117, that I have boughtH7069 all that was Elimelech'sH458, and all that was Chilion'sH3630 and Mahlon'sH4248, of the handH3027 of NaomiH5281.
Moreover RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, the wifeH802 of MahlonH4248, have I purchasedH7069 to be my wifeH802, to raise upH6965 the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 upon his inheritanceH5159, that the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 be not cut offH3772 from amongH5973 his brethrenH251, and from the gateH8179 of his placeH4725: ye are witnessesH5707 this dayH3117.
And all the peopleH5971 that were in the gateH8179, and the eldersH2205, saidH559, We are witnessesH5707. The LORDH3068 makeH5414 the womanH802 that is comeH935 into thine houseH1004 like RachelH7354 and like LeahH3812, which twoH8147 did buildH1129 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: and doH6213 thou worthilyH2428 in EphratahH672, and be famousH7121+H8034 in BethlehemH1035: {do thou…: or, get thee riches, or, power} {be famous: Heb. proclaim thy name}
Now there was no smithH2796 foundH4672 throughout all the landH776 of IsraelH3478: for the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, Lest the HebrewsH5680 makeH6213 them swordsH2719 or spearsH2595:
