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.
But his bowH7198 abodeH3427 in strengthH386, and the armsH2220 of his handsH3027 were made strongH6339 by the handsH3027 of the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290; (from thence is the shepherdH7462, the stoneH68 of IsraelH3478:)
The stoneH68 which the buildersH1129 refusedH3988 is become the headH7218 stone of the cornerH6438.
Out of him came forthH3318 the cornerH6438, out of him the nailH3489, out of him the battleH4421 bowH7198, out of him every oppressorH5065 togetherH3162.
For the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 run to and froH7751 throughout the whole earthH776, to shew himself strongH2388 in the behalf of them whose heartH3824 is perfectH8003 toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishlyH5528: therefore from henceforthH6258 thou shalt haveH3426 warsH4421. {to shew…: or, strongly to hold with them, etc}
In that dayH3117 shall there be upon the bellsH4698 of the horsesH5483, HOLINESSH6944 UNTO THE LORDH3068; and the potsH5518 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall be like the bowlsH4219 beforeH6440 the altarH4196. {bells: or, bridles}
And thou shalt putH7760 the twoH8147 stonesH68 upon the shouldersH3802 of the ephodH646 for stonesH68 of memorialH2146 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and AaronH175 shall bearH5375 their namesH8034 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 upon his twoH8147 shouldersH3802 for a memorialH2146.
And AaronH175 shall bearH5375 the namesH8034 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in the breastplateH2833 of judgmentH4941 upon his heartH3820, when he goethH935 in unto the holyH6944 place, for a memorialH2146 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548.
And thou shalt makeH6213 a plateH6731 of pureH2889 goldH2091, and graveH6605 upon it, like the engravingsH6603 of a signetH2368, HOLINESSH6944 TO THE LORDH3068.
HimG846 that overcomethG3528 will I makeG4160 a pillarG4769 inG1722 the templeG3485 of myG3450 GodG2316, andG2532 he shall goG1831 noG3364 moreG2089 outG1854: andG2532 I will writeG1125 uponG1909 himG846 the nameG3686 of myG3450 GodG2316, andG2532 the nameG3686 of the cityG4172 of myG3450 GodG2316, which isG3588 newG2537 JerusalemG2419, whichG3588 cometh downG2597 out ofG1537 heavenG3772 fromG575 myG3450 GodG2316: andG2532 I will write upon him myG3450 newG2537 nameG3686.
The landH776 shall not be soldH4376 for everH6783: for the landH776 is mine; for ye are strangersH1616 and sojournersH8453 with me. {for ever: or, to be quite cut off: Heb. for cutting off}
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.
Behold, I and the childrenH3206 whom the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 me are for signsH226 and for wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which dwellethH7931 in mountH2022 ZionH6726.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 saidH5002 unto my LordH113, SitH3427 thou at my right handH3225, until I makeH7896 thine enemiesH341 thy footstoolH1916+H7272.
The LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 the rodH4294 of thy strengthH5797 out of ZionH6726: ruleH7287 thou in the midstH7130 of thine enemiesH341.
Thy peopleH5971 shall be willingH5071 in the dayH3117 of thy powerH2428, in the beautiesH1926 of holinessH6944 from the wombH7358 of the morningH4891: thou hast the dewH2919 of thy youthH3208. {from…: or, more than the womb of the morning: thou shalt have, etc}
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650, and will not repentH5162, Thou art a priestH3548 for everH5769 after the orderH1700 of MelchizedekH4442.
The LordH136 at thy right handH3225 shall strikeH4272 through kingsH4428 in the dayH3117 of his wrathH639.
He shall judgeH1777 among the heathenH1471, he shall fillH4390 the places with the dead bodiesH1472; he shall woundH4272 the headsH7218 over manyH7227 countriesH776. {many: or, great}
He shall drinkH8354 of the brookH5158 in the wayH1870: therefore shall he lift upH7311 the headH7218.
ForG1063 thisG3778 MelchisedecG3198, kingG935 of SalemG4532, priestG2409 of the most highG5310 GodG2316, whoG3588 metG4876 AbrahamG11 returningG5290 fromG575 the slaughterG2871 of the kingsG935, andG2532 blessedG2127 himG846;
To whomG3739 alsoG2532 AbrahamG11 gaveG3307 a tenth partG1181 ofG575 allG3956; firstG4412+G3303 being by interpretationG2059 KingG935 of righteousnessG1343, andG1161 after thatG1899 alsoG2532 KingG935 of SalemG4532, which isG3603, KingG935 of peaceG1515;
Without fatherG540, without motherG282, without descentG35, havingG2192 neitherG3383 beginningG746 of daysG2250, norG3383 endG5056 of lifeG2222; butG1161 made likeG871 unto the SonG5207 of GodG2316; abidethG3306 a priestG2409 continuallyG1519+G1336. {without descent: Gr. without pedigree}
NowG1161 considerG2334 how greatG4080 this manG3778 was, unto whomG3739 evenG2532 the patriarchG3966 AbrahamG11 gaveG1325 the tenthG1181 ofG1537 the spoilsG205.
AndG2532 verilyG3303 they that are ofG1537 the sonsG5207 of LeviG3017, whoG3588 receiveG2983 the office of the priesthoodG2405, haveG2192 a commandmentG1785 to take tithesG586 of the peopleG2992 according toG2596 the lawG3551, that isG5123, of theirG846 brethrenG80, thoughG2539 they comeG1831 out ofG1537 the loinsG3751 of AbrahamG11:
ButG1161 he whose descent isG1075 notG3361 countedG1075 fromG1537 themG846 received tithesG1183 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 blessedG2127 him that hadG2192 the promisesG1860. {descent: or, pedigree}
AndG1161 withoutG5565 allG3956 contradictionG485 the lessG1640 is blessedG2127 ofG5259 the betterG2909.
AndG2532 hereG5602+G3303 menG444 that dieG599 receiveG2983 tithesG1181; butG1161 thereG1563 he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessedG3140 thatG3754 he livethG2198.
AndG2532 asG5613 I may so sayG2031+G2036, LeviG3017 alsoG2532, whoG3588 receivethG2983 tithesG1181, payed tithesG1183 inG1223 AbrahamG11.
ForG1063 he wasG2258 yetG2089 inG1722 the loinsG3751 of his fatherG3962, whenG3753 MelchisedecG3198 metG4876 himG846.
IfG1487+G3303 thereforeG3767 perfectionG5050 wereG2258 byG1223 the LeviticalG3020 priesthoodG2420, (forG1063 underG1909 itG846 the peopleG2992 received the lawG3549,) whatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 was there that anotherG2087 priestG2409 should riseG450 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198, andG2532 notG3756 be calledG3004 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of AaronG2?
ForG1063 the priesthoodG2420 being changedG3346, there is madeG1096 ofG1537 necessityG318 a changeG3331 alsoG2532 of the lawG3551.
ForG1063 he ofG1909 whomG3739 these thingsG5023 are spokenG3004 pertainethG3348 to anotherG2087 tribeG5443, ofG575 whichG3739 no manG3762 gave attendanceG4337 at the altarG2379.
ForG1063 it is evidentG4271 thatG3754 ourG2257 LordG2962 sprangG393 out ofG1537 JudaG2455; ofG1519 whichG3739 tribeG5443 MosesG3475 spakeG2980 nothingG3762 concerningG4012 priesthoodG2420.
AndG2532 it isG2076 yetG2089 far moreG4054 evidentG2612: forG1487 that afterG2596 the similitudeG3665 of MelchisedecG3198 there arisethG450 anotherG2087 priestG2409,
WhoG3739 is madeG1096, notG3756 afterG2596 the lawG3551 of a carnalG4559 commandmentG1785, butG235 afterG2596 the powerG1411 of an endlessG179 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 he testifiethG3140+G3754, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
ForG1063 there isG1096 verilyG3303 a disannullingG115 of the commandmentG1785 going beforeG4254 forG1223 the weaknessG772 andG2532 unprofitablenessG512 thereofG846.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 madeG5048 nothingG3762 perfectG5048, butG1161 the bringing inG1898 of a betterG2909 hopeG1680 did; byG1223 the whichG3739 we draw nighG1448 unto GodG2316. {the bringing…: or, it was the bringing in}
AndG2532 inasmuch asG2596+G3745 notG3756 withoutG5565 an oathG3728 he was made priest:
(ForG1063 those priestsG2409 wereG3303+G1526 madeG1096 withoutG5565 an oathG3728; butG1161 this withG3326 an oathG3728 byG1223 him that saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, The LordG2962 swareG3660 andG2532 willG3338 notG3756 repentG3338, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198:) {without…: or, without swearing of an oath}
ByG2596 so muchG5118 wasG1096 JesusG2424 madeG1096 a suretyG1450 of a betterG2909 testamentG1242.
AndG2532 theyG1526 trulyG3303 wereG1526+G1096 manyG4119 priestsG2409, because they were not sufferedG2967 to continueG3887 by reason ofG1223 deathG2288:
ButG1161 this man, becauseG1223 heG846 continuethG3306 everG1519+G165, hathG2192 an unchangeableG531 priesthoodG2420. {an…: or, which passeth not from one to another}
WhereforeG3606 he is ableG1410 alsoG2532 to save themG4982 toG1519 the uttermostG3838 that comeG4334 unto GodG2316 byG1223 himG846, seeing he everG3842 livethG2198 toG1519 make intercessionG1793 forG5228 themG846. {to the…: or, evermore}
ForG1063 suchG5108 an high priestG749 becameG4241 usG2254, who is holyG3741, harmlessG172, undefiledG283, separateG5563 fromG575 sinnersG268, andG2532 madeG1096 higher thanG5308 the heavensG3772;
WhoG3739 needethG2192+G318 notG3756 dailyG2596+G2250, asG5618 those high priestsG749, to offer upG399 sacrificeG2378, firstG4386 forG5228 his ownG2398 sinsG266, and thenG1899 for the people'sG2992: forG1063 thisG5124 he didG4160 onceG2178, when he offered upG399 himselfG1438.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 makethG2525 menG444 high priestsG749 which haveG2192 infirmityG769; butG1161 the wordG3056 of the oathG3728, whichG3588 was sinceG3326 the lawG3551, maketh the SonG5207, who is consecratedG5048 forG1519 evermoreG165. {consecrated: Gr. perfected}
WhereforeG3606, holyG40 brethrenG80, partakersG3353 of the heavenlyG2032 callingG2821, considerG2657 the ApostleG652 andG2532 High PriestG749 of ourG2257 professionG3671, ChristG5547 JesusG2424;
ForG1063 we are madeG1096 partakersG3353 of ChristG5547, ifG1437+G4007 we holdG2722 the beginningG746 of our confidenceG5287 stedfastG949 untoG3360 the endG5056;
AndG2532 hath madeG4160 usG2248 kingsG935 andG2532 priestsG2409 unto GodG2316 andG2532 hisG846 FatherG3962; to himG846 be gloryG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
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.
But ye shall be namedH7121 the PriestsH3548 of the LORDH3068: men shall callH559 you the MinistersH8334 of our GodH430: ye shall eatH398 the richesH2428 of the GentilesH1471, and in their gloryH3519 shall ye boastH3235 yourselves.
Thou lovestH157 righteousnessH6664, and hatestH8130 wickednessH7562: therefore GodH430, thy GodH430, hath anointedH4886 thee with the oilH8081 of gladnessH8342 above thy fellowsH2270.
Thy peopleH5971 shall be willingH5071 in the dayH3117 of thy powerH2428, in the beautiesH1926 of holinessH6944 from the wombH7358 of the morningH4891: thou hast the dewH2919 of thy youthH3208. {from…: or, more than the womb of the morning: thou shalt have, etc}
Let the highH7319 praises of GodH410 be in their mouthH1627, and a twoedgedH6374 swordH2719 in their handH3027; {mouth: Heb. throat}
To executeH6213 vengeanceH5360 upon the heathenH1471, and punishmentsH8433 upon the peopleH3816;
To bindH631 their kingsH4428 with chainsH2131, and their noblesH3513 with fettersH3525 of ironH1270;
To executeH6213 upon them the judgmentH4941 writtenH3789: this honourH1926 have all his saintsH2623. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.
But upon mountH2022 ZionH6726 shall be deliveranceH6413, and there shall be holinessH6944; and the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 shall possessH3423 their possessionsH4180. {deliverance: or, they that escape} {there…: or, it shall be holy}
And the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 shall be a fireH784, and the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 a flameH3852, and the houseH1004 of EsauH6215 for stubbleH7179, and they shall kindleH1814 in them, and devourH398 them; and there shall not be any remainingH8300 of the houseH1004 of EsauH6215; for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
And they of the southH5045 shall possessH3423 the mountH2022 of EsauH6215; and they of the plainH8219 the PhilistinesH6430: and they shall possessH3423 the fieldsH7704 of EphraimH669, and the fieldsH7704 of SamariaH8111: and BenjaminH1144 shall possess GileadH1568.
And the captivityH1546 of this hostH2426 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall possess that of the CanaanitesH3669, even unto ZarephathH6886; and the captivityH1546 of JerusalemH3389, which is in SepharadH5614, shall possessH3423 the citiesH5892 of the southH5045. {which…: or, shall possess that which is in}
And savioursH3467 shall come upH5927 on mountH2022 ZionH6726 to judgeH8199 the mountH2022 of EsauH6215; and the kingdomH4410 shall be the LORD'SH3068.
And this man shall be the peaceH7965, when the AssyrianH804 shall comeH935 into our landH776: and when he shall treadH1869 in our palacesH759, then shall we raiseH6965 against him sevenH7651 shepherdsH7462, and eightH8083 principalH5257 menH120. {principal: Heb. princes of}
And they shall wasteH7462 the landH776 of AssyriaH804 with the swordH2719, and the landH776 of NimrodH5248 in the entrancesH6607 thereof: thus shall he deliverH5337 us from the AssyrianH804, when he comethH935 into our landH776, and when he treadethH1869 within our bordersH1366. {waste: Heb. eat up} {in the…: or, with her own naked swords}
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a dewH2919 from the LORDH3068, as the showersH7241 upon the grassH6212, that tarriethH6960 not for manH376, nor waitethH3176 for the sonsH1121 of menH120.
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be among the GentilesH1471 in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a lionH738 among the beastsH929 of the forestH3293, as a young lionH3715 among the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629: who, if he go throughH5674, both treadeth downH7429, and teareth in piecesH2963, and none can deliverH5337. {sheep: or, goats}
When I have bentH1869 JudahH3063 for me, filledH4390 the bowH7198 with EphraimH669, and raised upH5782 thy sonsH1121, O ZionH6726, against thy sonsH1121, O GreeceH3120, and madeH7760 thee as the swordH2719 of a mighty manH1368.
And the LORDH3068 shall be seenH7200 over them, and his arrowH2671 shall go forthH3318 as the lightningH1300: and the LordH136 GODH3069 shall blowH8628 the trumpetH7782, and shall goH1980 with whirlwindsH5591 of the southH8486.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall defendH1598 them; and they shall devourH398, and subdueH3533 with slingH7050 stonesH68; and they shall drinkH8354, and make a noiseH1993 as through wineH3196; and they shall be filledH4390 like bowlsH4219, and as the cornersH2106 of the altarH4196. {with…: or, the stones of the sling} {be…: or, fill both the bowls, etc}
And the LORDH3068 their GodH430 shall saveH3467 them in that dayH3117 as the flockH6629 of his peopleH5971: for they shall be as the stonesH68 of a crownH5145, lifted up as an ensignH5264 upon his landH127.
Out of him came forthH3318 the cornerH6438, out of him the nailH3489, out of him the battleH4421 bowH7198, out of him every oppressorH5065 togetherH3162.
And they shall be as mightyH1368 men, which tread downH947 their enemies in the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351 in the battleH4421: and they shall fightH3898, because the LORDH3068 is with them, and the ridersH7392 on horsesH5483 shall be confoundedH3001. {the riders…: or, they shall make the riders on horses ashamed}
And I will strengthenH1396 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and I will saveH3467 the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and I will bring them again to placeH3427 them; for I have mercyH7355 upon them: and they shall be as thoughH834 I had not cast them offH2186: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and will hearH6030 them.
And they of EphraimH669 shall be like a mightyH1368 man, and their heartH3820 shall rejoiceH8055 as through wineH3196: yea, their childrenH1121 shall seeH7200 it, and be gladH8055; their heartH3820 shall rejoiceH1523 in the LORDH3068.
I will hissH8319 for them, and gatherH6908 them; for I have redeemedH6299 them: and they shall increaseH7235 as they have increasedH7235.
And I will sowH2232 them among the peopleH5971: and they shall rememberH2142 me in far countriesH4801; and they shall liveH2421 with their childrenH1121, and turn againH7725.
I will bring them againH7725 also out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and gatherH6908 them out of AssyriaH804; and I will bringH935 them into the landH776 of GileadH1568 and LebanonH3844; and place shall not be foundH4672 for them.
And he shall pass throughH5674 the seaH3220 with afflictionH6869, and shall smiteH5221 the wavesH1530 in the seaH3220, and all the deepsH4688 of the riverH2975 shall dry upH3001: and the prideH1347 of AssyriaH804 shall be brought downH3381, and the sceptreH7626 of EgyptH4714 shall depart awayH5493.
And I will strengthenH1396 them in the LORDH3068; and they shall walk up and downH1980 in his nameH8034, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
In that dayH3117 shall the branchH6780 of the LORDH3068 be beautifulH6643 and gloriousH3519, and the fruitH6529 of the earthH776 shall be excellentH1347 and comely forH8597 them that are escapedH6413 of IsraelH3478. {beautiful…: Heb. beauty and glory} {them…: Heb. the escaping}
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will raiseH6965 unto DavidH1732 a righteousH6662 BranchH6780, and a KingH4428 shall reignH4427 and prosperH7919, and shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 in the earthH776.
In those daysH3117, and at that timeH6256, will I cause the BranchH6780 of righteousnessH6666 to grow upH6779 unto DavidH1732; and he shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in the landH776.
AndG1161 ZorobabelG2216 begatG1080 AbiudG10; andG1161 AbiudG10 begatG1080 EliakimG1662; andG1161 EliakimG1662 begatG1080 AzorG107;
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.
Now in the secondH8145 yearH8141 of their comingH935 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430 at JerusalemH3389, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, beganH2490 ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and the remnantH7605 of their brethrenH251 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and all they that were come outH935 of the captivityH7628 unto JerusalemH3389; and appointedH5975 the LevitesH3881, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, to set forwardH5329 the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Then stoodH5975 JeshuaH3442 with his sonsH1121 and his brethrenH251, KadmielH6934 and his sonsH1121, the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, togetherH259, to set forwardH5329 the workmenH6213+H4399 in the houseH1004 of GodH430: the sonsH1121 of HenadadH2582, with their sonsH1121 and their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881. {Judah: or, Hodaviah,Chap.2.40} {together: Heb. as one}
And when the buildersH1129 laid the foundationH3245 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, they setH5975 the priestsH3548 in their apparelH3847 with trumpetsH2689, and the LevitesH3881 the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 with cymbalsH4700, to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068, after the ordinanceH3027 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And they sang together by courseH6030 in praisingH1984 and giving thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; because he is goodH2896, for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769 toward IsraelH3478. And all the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, when they praisedH1984 the LORDH3068, because the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was laidH3245.
But manyH7227 of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 and chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, who were ancient menH2205, that had seenH7200 the firstH7223 houseH1004, when the foundationH3245 of this houseH1004 was laidH3245 before their eyesH5869, weptH1058 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963; and manyH7227 shoutedH8643 aloudH7311 for joyH8057:
So that the peopleH5971 could not discernH5234 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643 of joyH8057 from the noiseH6963 of the weepingH1065 of the peopleH5971: for the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a loudH1419 shoutH8643, and the noiseH6963 was heardH8085 afar offH7350.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I layH3245 in ZionH6726 for a foundation a stoneH68, a triedH976 stoneH68, a preciousH3368 cornerH6438 stone, a sureH3245 foundationH4143: he that believethH539 shall not make hasteH2363.
WhereforeG3767 laying asideG659 allG3956 maliceG2549, andG2532 allG3956 guileG1388, andG2532 hypocrisiesG5272, andG2532 enviesG5355, andG2532 allG3956 evil speakingsG2636,
AsG5613 newbornG738 babesG1025, desireG1971 the sincereG97 milkG1051 of the wordG3050, thatG2443 ye may growG837 therebyG1722+G846:
If so beG1512 ye have tastedG1089 thatG3754 the LordG2962 is graciousG5543.
ToG4314 whomG3739 comingG4334, as unto a livingG2198 stoneG3037, disallowedG593 indeedG3303 ofG5259 menG444, butG1161 chosenG1588 ofG3844 GodG2316, and preciousG1784,
YeG846 alsoG2532, asG5613 livelyG2198 stonesG3037, are built upG3618 a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, an holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offer upG399 spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {are: or, be ye}
WhereforeG1352 alsoG2532 it is containedG4023 inG1722 the scriptureG1124, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a chief cornerG204 stoneG3037, electG1588, preciousG1784: andG2532 he that believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 not beG3364 confoundedG2617.
Unto youG5213 thereforeG3767 whichG3588 believeG4100 he is preciousG5092: butG1161 unto them which be disobedientG544, the stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 disallowedG593, the sameG3778 is madeG1096+G1519 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137, {precious: or, an honour}
AndG2532 a stoneG3037 of stumblingG4348, andG2532 a rockG4073 of offenceG4625, even to them whichG3739 stumbleG4350 at the wordG3056, being disobedientG544: whereuntoG1519+G3739 alsoG2532 they were appointedG5087.
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}
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.
Dearly belovedG27, I beseechG3870 you asG5613 strangersG3941 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927, abstain fromG567 fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, whichG3748 warG4754 againstG2596 the soulG5590;
HavingG2192 yourG5216 conversationG391 honestG2570 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484: thatG2443, whereasG1722+G3739 they speak againstG2635 youG5216 asG5613 evildoersG2555, they mayG1392 byG1537 your goodG2570 worksG2041, which they shall beholdG2029, glorifyG1392 GodG2316 inG1722 the dayG2250 of visitationG1984. {whereas: or, wherein}
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}
HonourG5091 allG3956 men. LoveG25 the brotherhoodG81. FearG5399 GodG2316. HonourG5091 the kingG935. {Honour all: or, Esteem all}
ServantsG3610, be subjectG5293 to your mastersG1203 withG1722 allG3956 fearG5401; notG3756 onlyG3440 to the goodG18 andG2532 gentleG1933, butG235 alsoG2532 to the frowardG4646.
ForG1063 thisG5124 is thankworthyG5485, ifG1487 a manG5100 forG1223 conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 endureG5297 griefG3077, sufferingG3958 wrongfullyG95. {thankworthy: or, thank}
ForG1063 whatG4169 gloryG2811 is it, ifG1487, whenG2532 ye be buffetedG2852 for your faultsG264, ye shall take it patientlyG5278? butG235 ifG1487, when ye do wellG15, andG2532 sufferG3958 for it, ye take it patientlyG5278, thisG5124 is acceptableG5485 withG3844 GodG2316. {acceptable: or, thank}
ForG1063 evenG1519 hereuntoG5124 were ye calledG2564: becauseG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 sufferedG3958 forG5228 usG2257, leavingG5277 usG2254 an exampleG5261, thatG2443 ye should followG1872 hisG846 stepsG2487: {for us: some read, for you}
WhoG3739 didG4160 noG3756 sinG266, neitherG3761 was guileG1388 foundG2147 inG1722 hisG846 mouthG4750:
WhoG3739, when he was reviledG3058, reviledG486 notG3756 againG486; when he sufferedG3958, he threatenedG546 notG3756; butG1161 committedG3860 himself to him that judgethG2919 righteouslyG1346: {himself: or, his cause}
WhoG3739 his own selfG846 bareG399 ourG2257 sinsG266 inG1722 his ownG846 bodyG4983 onG1909 the treeG3586, thatG2443 weG2198, being deadG581 to sinsG266, should liveG2198 unto righteousnessG1343: byG3739 whoseG846 stripesG3468 ye were healedG2390. {on: or, to}
ForG1063 ye wereG2258 asG5613 sheepG4263 going astrayG4105; butG235 areG1994 nowG3568 returnedG1994 untoG1909 the ShepherdG4166 andG2532 BishopG1985 of yourG5216 soulsG5590.
AndG2532 out ofG1537 the throneG2362 proceededG1607 lightningsG796 andG2532 thunderingsG1027 andG2532 voicesG5456: andG2532 there were sevenG2033 lampsG2985 of fireG4442 burningG2545 beforeG1799 the throneG2362, whichG3739 areG1526 the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492, andG2532, loG2400, inG1722 the midstG3319 of the throneG2362 andG2532 of the fourG5064 beastsG2226, andG2532 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the eldersG4245, stoodG2476 a LambG721 asG5613 it had been slainG4969, havingG2192 sevenG2033 hornsG2768 andG2532 sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 areG1526 the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316 sent forthG649 intoG1519 allG3956 the earthG1093.
And there shall come forthH3318 a rodH2415 out of the stemH1503 of JesseH3448, and a BranchH5342 shall growH6509 out of his rootsH8328:
And the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall restH5117 upon him, the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, the spiritH7307 of counselH6098 and mightH1369, the spiritH7307 of knowledgeH1847 and of the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068;
He that hathG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saithG3004 unto the churchesG1577; To himG846 that overcomethG3528 will I giveG1325 to eatG5315 ofG575 the hiddenG2928 mannaG3131, andG2532 will giveG1325 himG846 a whiteG3022 stoneG5586, andG2532 inG1909 the stoneG5586 a newG2537 nameG3686 writtenG1125, whichG3739 no manG3762 knowethG1097 savingG1508 he that receivethG2983 it.
ButG235 evenG2193 unto this dayG4594, whenG2259 MosesG3475 is readG314, the vailG2571 is uponG2749+G1909 theirG846 heartG2588.
SeeG991 that ye refuseG3868 notG3361 him that speakethG2980. ForG1063 ifG1487 theyG1565 escapedG5343 notG3756 who refused himG3868 that spakeG5537 onG1909 earthG1093, muchG4183 moreG3123 shall not weG2249 escape, if we turn away from himG654 that speaketh fromG575 heavenG3772:
AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384:
SingH7442 and rejoiceH8055, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: for, lo, I comeH935, and I will dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I will instructH7919 thee and teachH3384 thee in the wayH1870 whichH2098 thou shalt goH3212: I will guideH3289 thee with mine eyeH5869. {guide…: Heb. counsel thee, mine eye shall be upon thee}
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}
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.
ThenG1161 saidG3004 JesusG2424, FatherG3962, forgiveG863 themG846; forG1063 they knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 they doG4160. AndG1161 they partedG1266 hisG846 raimentG2440, and castG906 lotsG2819.
AndG2532 when JesusG2424 had criedG5455 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, he saidG2036, FatherG3962, intoG1519 thyG4675 handsG5495 I commendG3908 myG3450 spiritG4151: andG2532 having saidG2036 thusG5023, he gave up the ghostG1606.
