⁸ O LORD God of hosts, who is a mighty one like thee, O LORD? And thy faithfulness is round about thee. ⁹ Thou rule the pride of the sea. When the waves of it arise, thou still them. ¹⁰ Thou have broken Rahab in pieces, as a wounded man. Thou have scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength. ¹¹ The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine, the world and the fullness of it; thou have founded them. ¹² The north and the south, thou have created them. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name. ¹³ Thou have a mighty arm. Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

¹ O sing to LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand, and his holy arm, has wrought salvation for him.

¹⁵ The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. The right hand of LORD does valiantly. ¹⁶ The right hand of LORD is exalted. The right hand of LORD does valiantly.

¹⁴ And he shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there shall not be found among the pieces of it a shard with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.

⁹ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of LORD. Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?

¹⁰ LORD has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

¹⁴ And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says LORD. I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them.

¹³ And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, because from thee is the kingdom and the power and the glory into the ages. Truly.

²⁷ And he will tend them with a rod of iron (they will be shattered like ceramic vessels), as I also have received from my Father.

¹⁶ But indeed for this cause I have raised thee up, to display in thee my power, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

²⁶ There is none like God, O Jeshurun, who rides upon the heavens for thy help, and in his excellency on the skies.

¹³ Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more. And let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.

³³ to him who rides upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old. Lo, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.

⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, a band of agents of evil. ⁵⁰ He made a path for his anger. He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

¹³ O my God, make them like the whirling dust, as stubble before the wind,

¹³ Let them praise the name of LORD, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

¹⁶ but LORD of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.

²⁴ Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁷ Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear. Open thine eyes, O LORD, and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.

²³ Whom have thou defied and blasphemed? And against whom have thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.

²⁹ Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou came.

³⁶ And the agent of LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.

³⁸ And it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.

¹⁴ Behold, they shall be as stubble. The fire shall burn them. They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.

⁶ There is none like thee, O LORD. Thou are great, and thy name is great in might.

¹¹ And now many nations are assembled against thee, who say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see our desire upon Zion.

⁹ What do ye devise against LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction shall not rise up the second time. ¹⁰ For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble. ¹¹ He has gone forth out of thee, who devises evil against LORD, who counsels wickedness. ¹² Thus says LORD: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so they shall be cut down. And he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

⁸ For thus says LORD of hosts: After glory he has sent me to the nations which plundered you. For he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

³ Then LORD shall go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

⁸ And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. In summer and in winter it shall be.

¹ For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace, and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, shall be stubble. And the day that comes shall burn them up, says LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

¹² Whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. And he will gather his wheat into the storehouse, but he will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.

⁴ And after falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do thou persecute me?

²¹ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. ²² And the sons of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

¹⁶ Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

⁹ By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.

¹³ He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through. And he made the waters to stand as a heap.

⁴ but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.

⁷ Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear news, and shall return to his own land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

¹⁰ The mountains saw thee, and were afraid. The tempest of waters passed by. The deep uttered its voice, and lifted up its hands on high.

⁸ And then the lawless will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will neutralize at the appearance of his coming.

²⁷ Benjamin is a wolf that ravens. In the morning he shall devour the prey, and at evening he shall divide the spoil.

⁵ And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled. And the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?

⁸ And LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the sons of Israel, for the sons of Israel went out with a high hand. ⁹ And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal-zephon.

³⁰ Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man, to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?

² Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.

¹⁰ And Ben-hadad sent to him, and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.

⁸ For he says, Are not my rulers all of them kings? ⁹ Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus? ¹⁰ As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images excelled those of Jerusalem and of Samaria, ¹¹ shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? ¹² Therefore it shall come to pass, that, when the Lord has performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. ¹³ For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding. And I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. And like a valiant man I have brought down those who sit on thrones.

²⁰ Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

¹² Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors. Yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

¹⁴ Thou pierced with his own staves the head of his warriors. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor man secretly.

²² but when a stronger than he comes, after defeating him, he takes away his full armor in which he trusted, and divides his booty.

¹ And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

²¹ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

⁵ The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.

⁴ and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots, how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how LORD has destroyed them to this day,

¹³ Thou divided the sea by thy strength. Thou break the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters. ¹⁴ Thou break the heads of leviathan in pieces. Thou gave him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

⁷ who causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain, who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries,

¹⁸ He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

¹⁵ And LORD will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea. And with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will smite it into seven streams, and cause men to march over dry shod.

¹³ When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.

¹³ For, lo, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads upon the high places of the earth-LORD, the God of hosts, is his name.

²⁷ But the men marveled, saying, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

¹⁰ And he said, Tomorrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word, that thou may know that there is none like LORD our God.

² Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and say to them, Ye shall be holy, for I LORD your God am holy.

²⁴ O lord LORD, thou have begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy strong hand, for what god is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy mighty acts?

² There is none holy as LORD, for there is none besides thee, neither is there any rock like our God.

²² Therefore thou are great, O LORD God, for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²³ And he said, O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with thy servants, who walk before thee with all their heart,

¹⁰ All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like thee, who delivers a poor man from him who is too strong for him, yea, a poor and needy man from him who robs him?

⁵ Come, and see the works of God, awesome in actions toward the sons of men.

¹⁴ Thou are the God who does wonders. Thou have made known thy strength among the peoples.

¹⁹ Thy way was in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters. And thy footsteps were not known.

⁸ There is none like thee among the gods, O Lord, nor like thy works.

⁵ And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD, thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the sanctified. ⁶ For who in the clouds can be compared to LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty is like LORD, ⁷ a God very awesome in the council of the holy ones, and to be feared above all those who are round about him? ⁸ O LORD God of hosts, who is a mighty one like thee, O LORD? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

¹⁸ For our shield belongs to LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.

¹¹ Who knows the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due to thee?

¹²⁰ My flesh trembles for fear of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments.

¹⁷ LORD is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works.

³ And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is LORD of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory.

¹¹ Get you out of the way. Turn aside out of the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

¹⁸ To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare to him?

²⁵ To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal to him? says the Holy One.

¹⁵ For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

² as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! ³ When thou did fearful things which we did not look for, thou came down; the mountains quaked at thy presence.

⁶ There is none like thee, O LORD. Thou are great, and thy name is great in might. ⁷ Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? For to thee it appertains, inasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like thee.

¹⁶ The portion of Jacob is not like these. For he is the former of all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. LORD of hosts is his name.

¹⁹ Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation. For I will suddenly make them run away from it. And he who is chosen, him I will appoint over it. For who is like me, and who will appoint a time for me, and who is the shepherd who will stand before me?

⁵ But I will show you whom ye should fear. Fear him, who, after killing, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear ye him.

²⁸ Therefore, receiving an immovable kingdom, we may have grace, through which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and awe. ²⁹ For our God is also a consuming fire.

¹⁵ but according to the Holy Man, he who called you, ye yourselves also become holy in all conduct, ¹⁶ because it is written, Become ye holy, since I am holy.

⁸ And the four living creatures, one by one, each having six wings, are full of eyes around and inside. And they have no cessation day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord, the Almighty God, he was, and who is, and who is coming.

⁴ Who will, no, not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name, because thou alone are holy? Because all the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous deeds were made known.

¹ And after these things I heard as a great sound of a large multitude in heaven, saying, Praise the Lord, the salvation, and the power, and the glory of our God! ² Because true and righteous are his judgments, because he has judged the great whore who ruined the earth by her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his bondmen from her hand. ³ And a second time they said, Praise the Lord! And the smoke of her ascended into the ages of the ages. ⁴ And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, Truly! Praise the Lord! ⁵ And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Praise ye our God, all his bondmen and those who fear him, the small and the great. ⁶ And I heard as the sound of a large multitude, and as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying, Praise the Lord! Because the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.

⁶ Thy right hand, O LORD, is glorious in power. Thy right hand, O LORD, dashes the enemy in pieces.

¹⁶ But he lingered. And the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters, LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him forth, and set him outside the city.

¹² Moreover in a pillar of cloud thou led them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which they should go.

¹⁴ Thou are the God who does wonders. Thou have made known thy strength among the peoples. ¹⁵ With thine arm thou have redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

²⁰ Thou led thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

⁵² But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. ⁵³ And he led them safely, so that they feared not, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. ⁵⁴ And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.

¹ Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou who lead Joseph like a flock. Thou who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.

⁹ He also rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up. So he led them through the depths as through a wilderness.

¹² who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name, ¹³ who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not?

⁶ Nor did they say, Where is LORD who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man dwelt?

⁴ But God, being rich in mercy, through his great love that he loved us,

⁵ men being kept by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹⁴ and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that thou LORD are in the midst of this people, for thou LORD are seen face to face, and thy cloud stands over them, and thou go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

⁵ And he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people came out from Egypt. Behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide opposite me.

⁴ And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you. Take ye good heed to yourselves therefore. ⁵ Do not contend with them, for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.

²⁵ This day I will begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

⁹ And she said to the men, I know that LORD has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us. And that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. ¹⁰ For we have heard how LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when ye came out of Egypt, and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

²⁴ And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you. Therefore we were very afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

⁶ Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

²⁹ Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken. For out of the serpent's root shall come forth an adder, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

³¹ Howl, O gate, cry, O city. Thou are melted away, O Philistia, all of thee. For there comes a smoke out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

¹⁵ These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau: The sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau: chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz,

⁴⁰ And these are the names of the chiefs that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names: chief Timnah, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth,

¹⁴ And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says thy brother Israel, Thou know all the travail that has befallen us, ¹⁵ how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time. And the Egyptians dealt ill with us and our fathers. ¹⁶ And when we cried to LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an agent, and brought us forth out of Egypt. And, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the outermost of thy border. ¹⁷ Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells. We will go along the king's highway. We will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border. ¹⁸ And Edom said to him, Thou shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee. ¹⁹ And the sons of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway. And if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price of it. Only let me, without doing anything, pass through on my feet. ²⁰ And he said, Thou shall not pass through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand. ²¹ Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border. Therefore Israel turned away from him.

³ And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people, because they were many. And Moab was distressed because of the sons of Israel. ⁴ And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. ⁵ And he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people came out from Egypt. Behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide opposite me.

⁴ And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you. Take ye good heed to yourselves therefore.

⁸ And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, What man is there who is fearful and faint-hearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brother's heart melt as his heart.

⁹ And she said to the men, I know that LORD has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us. And that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.

¹¹ And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man because of you, for LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.

²⁴ And they said to Joshua, Truly LORD has delivered into our hands all the land, and moreover all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us.

¹ And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how that LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the sons of Israel until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the sons of Israel.

⁸ Nevertheless my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed LORD my God.

¹⁶ And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went here and there.

¹⁰ And even he who is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt, for all Israel knows that thy father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.

⁵¹ And Hadad died. And the chiefs of Edom were: chief Timna, chief Aliah, chief Jetheth, ⁵² chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon, ⁵³ chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar, ⁵⁴ chief Magdiel, chief Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom.

² As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

⁷ Therefore all hands shall be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt.

¹ The burden of Egypt. Behold, LORD rides upon a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. And the idols of Egypt shall tremble at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

⁷ And it shall be, when they say to thee, Why do thou sigh? That thou shall say, Because of the news. For it comes, and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water. Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the lord LORD.

¹⁰ She is empty, and void, and waste. And the heart melts, and the knees smite together, and anguish is in all loins, and the faces of them all have grown pale.

⁷ I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

⁷ But against any of the sons of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast, that ye may know how that LORD makes a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.

⁵ Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be my own possession from among all peoples, for all the earth is mine, ⁶ and ye shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shall speak to the sons of Israel.

²⁷ I will send my terror before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shall come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs to thee.

²⁵ There shall no man be able to stand before you. LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he has spoken to you.

⁶ Do ye thus requite LORD, O foolish people and unwise? Is not he thy father who has bought thee? He has made thee, and established thee.

⁹ For LORD's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

⁹ He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness, for by strength no man shall prevail.

³⁷ And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

²³ And what one nation on the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for thy land, before thy people whom thou redeemed to thee out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

² Remember thy congregation, which thou have gotten of old, which thou have redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance, and mount Zion, at which thou have dwelt.

¹ But now thus says LORD who created thee, O Jacob, and he who formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by thy name, Thou are mine. ² When thou pass through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee. When thou walk through the fire, thou shall not be burned, nor shall the flame kindle upon thee. ³ For I am LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior. I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead.

¹⁰ Is it not thou who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?

¹¹ For LORD has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.

²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit placed you guardians, to tend the church of the Lord and God, which he purchased by his own blood.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, so that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a special people, a zealot of good works.

⁹ But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for an acquired possession, so that ye might broadly proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

¹ But false prophets also developed among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will sneak in pernicious denominations, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

² Thou drove out the nations with thy hand, but thou planted them. Thou afflicted the peoples, but thou spread them abroad.

⁵⁴ And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had gotten. ⁵⁵ He also drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁶⁸ but chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. ⁶⁹ And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.

⁸ Thou brought a vine out of Egypt. Thou drove out the nations, and planted it.

¹³ For LORD has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation. ¹⁴ This is my resting place forever. Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

¹ Let me sing for my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill. ² And he dug it, and gathered out the stones of it, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress in it. And he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. ³ And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard. ⁴ What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes?

²¹ Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed. How then have thou turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?

²³ Thus says LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Yet again they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof when I shall bring again their captivity: LORD bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, O mountain of holiness.

⁴¹ Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good. And I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

¹⁶ LORD is King forever and ever. The nations have perished out of his land.

¹⁰ LORD sat as King at the Flood. Yea, LORD sits as King forever.

¹⁰ LORD will reign forever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye LORD.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty of it be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

³ How great are his signs, and how mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

¹⁴ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

²⁷ And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the sanctified of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

¹⁵ And the seventh agent sounded, and great voices occurred in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will reign into the ages of the ages. ¹⁶ And the twenty-four elders who sit before the throne of God, on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshiped God, ¹⁷ saying, We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, who is and was, because thou have taken thy great power and reigned.

²² And the sons of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left. ²³ And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

²⁸ And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the army of Pharaoh who went in after them into the sea, there remained not so much as one of them. ²⁹ But the sons of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

³¹ The horse is prepared against the day of battle, but victory is from LORD.

²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land, of which the Egyptians, having taken an attempt, were drowned.

⁴ And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.

¹ And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman.

¹ And the sons of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people abode in Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and was buried there.

⁵⁹ And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt. And she bore to Amram, Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.

⁴ Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

³⁴ And Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances. And she was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.

²¹ and watch. And, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch for you every man his wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.

⁵ After that thou shall come to the hill of God where is the garrison of the Philistines. And it shall come to pass, when thou have come there to the city, that thou shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them, and they will be prophesying.

⁶ And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with instruments of music.

⁵ And David and all the house of Israel played before LORD with all manner of instruments of fir-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with castanets, and with cymbals.

¹⁴ And David danced before LORD with all his might. And David was girded with a linen ephod.

¹⁶ And it was so, as the ark of LORD came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before LORD, and she despised him in her heart.

¹⁴ So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter), and they conversed with her.

¹¹ Thou have turned for me my mourning into dancing. Thou have loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness,

¹¹ The Lord gave the word. Great was the company of those who published it.

²⁵ The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.

² Raise a song, and bring here the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

³ Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

⁴ Praise him with timbrel and dance. Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe.

⁴ For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage. And I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

³⁶ And there was Anna, a prophetess, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (being advanced in many days, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,

⁹ Now four virgin daughters who prophesied were with this man.

⁵ But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is one and the same thing as the woman who has been shaven.

³⁴ As in all the churches of the sanctified, let the women keep silent in the churches. For it is not permitted for them to speak, but to be subordinate, as the law also says.

¹ Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing to LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

³ Hear, O ye kings. Give ear, O ye rulers. I, even I, will sing to LORD. I will sing praise to LORD, the God of Israel.

⁷ And the women sang one to another as they played, and said, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.

¹³ it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking LORD. And when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised LORD, saying, For he is good. For his loving kindness is forever, that the house was then filled with a cloud, even the house of LORD,

⁷ Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in. ⁸ Who is the King of glory? LORD strong and mighty, LORD mighty in battle. ⁹ Lift up your heads, O ye gates. Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in. ¹⁰ Who is this King of glory? LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.

¹ Behold, bless ye LORD, all ye servants of LORD, who stand by night in the house of LORD. ² Lift up your hands to the sanctuary, and bless ye LORD. ³ LORD bless thee out of Zion, even he who made heaven and earth.

¹ Let me sing for my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill. ² And he dug it, and gathered out the stones of it, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress in it. And he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. ³ And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard. ⁴ What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes? ⁵ And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge of it, and it shall be eaten up. I will break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down. ⁶ And I will lay it waste. It shall not be pruned nor hoed, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. ⁷ For the vineyard of LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. And he looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry. ⁸ Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, till there is no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land! ⁹ In my ears says LORD of hosts, of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. ¹⁰ For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah. ¹¹ Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them! ¹² And the harp and the lute, the tambourine and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts, but they do not regard the work of LORD, nor have they considered the operation of his hands. ¹³ Therefore my people have gone into captivity for lack of knowledge, and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst. ¹⁴ Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure. And their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it. ¹⁵ And the common man is bowed down, and the great man is debased, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled, ¹⁶ but LORD of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness. ¹⁷ Then the lambs shall feed as in their pasture, and wanderers shall eat the waste places of the fat ones. ¹⁸ Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope, ¹⁹ who say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it. And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it! ²⁰ Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who put darkness for light, and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ²¹ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! ²² Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink, ²³ who justify the wicked for rewards, and take away the justice of the righteous man from him! ²⁴ Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. ²⁵ Therefore the anger of LORD is kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has smitten them. And the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. ²⁶ And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will whistle for them from the end of the earth, and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly. ²⁷ None shall be weary nor stumble among them. None shall slumber nor sleep, nor shall the belt of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken, ²⁸ whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses' hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind. ²⁹ Their roaring shall be like a lioness. They shall roar like young lions. Yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver. ³⁰ And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if a man looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress, and the light is darkened in the clouds of it.

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou were killed and purchased us from God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.

¹⁰ and crying out in a great voice, saying, Salvation is in our God who sits upon the throne, and in the Lamb! ¹¹ And all the agents had stood all around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell before his throne on their faces, and worshiped God, ¹² saying, Truly! Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength, is for our God into the ages of the ages. Truly!

³ And they sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And none could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand, those who have been redeemed from the earth.

⁷ And the agent of LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

¹⁸ And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur which is before Egypt, as thou go toward Assyria. He abode opposite all his brothers.

¹⁸ And they shall hearken to thy voice. And thou shall come, thou and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and ye shall say to him, LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. And now let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to LORD our God.

⁷ And Saul smote the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou go to Shur, that is before Egypt.

⁸ And they journeyed from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness. And they went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah.

²⁰ And she said to them, Call me not Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

¹¹ and they said to Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, have thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?

² And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.

⁸ And Moses said, This shall be when LORD shall give you flesh to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning, for that LORD hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him. And what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against LORD. ⁹ And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before LORD, for he has heard your murmurings.

³ And the people thirsted there for water. And the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why have thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our sons and our cattle with thirst? ⁴ And Moses cried to LORD, saying, What shall I do to this people? They are almost ready to stone me.

¹ And the people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of LORD. And when LORD heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of LORD burnt among them, and devoured in the outermost part of the camp. ² And the people cried to Moses. And Moses prayed to LORD, and the fire abated. ³ And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of LORD burnt among them. ⁴ And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly. And the sons of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? ⁵ We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic, ⁶ but now our soul is dried away. There is nothing at all except this manna to look upon.

¹ And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried, and the people wept that night. ² And all the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron. And the whole congregation said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt, or would that we had died in this wilderness! ³ And why does LORD bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey. Were it not better for us to return into Egypt? ⁴ And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

¹¹ Therefore thou and all thy company are gathered together against LORD. And Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?

⁴¹ But on the morrow all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of LORD.

¹⁰ And LORD said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a sign against the sons of rebellion, that thou may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die.

² And there was no water for the congregation, and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. ³ And the people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brothers died before LORD! ⁴ And why have ye brought the assembly of LORD into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts? ⁵ And why have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink.

⁵ And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul loathes this light bread.

¹⁹ Yea, they spoke against God. They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? ²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?

²⁵ Because of this I say to you, be not anxious about your life, what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, nor yet for your body, what ye may wear. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the clothing?

¹⁰ And ye should not grumble as some of them grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

¹⁴ Do all things without grumblings and arguments,

¹⁶ These are grumblers, fault-finders, going according to their lusts, and their mouth speaks overblown things, marveling personages for the sake of advantage.

¹⁰ And when Pharaoh drew near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were very afraid. And the sons of Israel cried out to LORD,

⁴ Then LORD said to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

⁴ And Moses cried to LORD, saying, What shall I do to this people? They are almost ready to stone me.

² And thou shall remember all the way which LORD thy God has led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou would keep his commandments, or not.

¹⁶ who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers did not know, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end.

³ thou shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams, for LORD your God proves you, to know whether ye love LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

²¹ And the people said to Joshua, No, but we will serve LORD. ²² And Joshua said to the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen for you, LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. ²³ Now therefore, he said, put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to LORD, the God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people said to Joshua, we will serve LORD our God, and we will hearken to his voice. ²⁵ So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

²² that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of LORD to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.

¹ Now these are the nations which LORD left to prove Israel by them, (even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan,

⁴ And they were left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken to the commandments of LORD, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.

²¹ And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and said, Thus says LORD, I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or barren land.

⁴¹ But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot, and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of trouble. I will deliver thee, and thou shall glorify me.

¹⁰ For thou, O God, have proved us. Thou have tried us as silver is tried.

⁷ Thou called in trouble, and I delivered thee. I answered thee in the secret place of thunder. I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

¹⁵ He shall call upon me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

⁶ Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his name, they called upon LORD, and he answered them.

³ The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but LORD tries the hearts.

⁷ Therefore thus says LORD of hosts: Behold, I will melt them, and try them, for how else should I do, because of the daughter of my people?

¹ Then LORD said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.

¹⁸ For the message of the cross is of course foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is a power of God.

⁶ In which ye greatly rejoice, although made sorrowful in various trials. Since it is now necessary for a little while, ⁷ so that the proof of your faith, much more precious than gold that perishes, and though proven by fire, may be found for praise and esteem and for glory at the revealing of Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven, and it became a boil breaking forth with sores upon man and upon beast. ¹¹ And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

²⁹ And it came to pass at midnight, that LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.

²⁵ And ye shall serve LORD your God, and he will bless thy bread, and thy water, and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

³ If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them,

¹³ I am LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen. And I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.

¹² And it shall come to pass, because ye hearken to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that LORD thy God will keep with thee the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to thy fathers. ¹³ And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee. He will also bless the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy ground, thy grain and thy new wine and thine oil, the increase of thy cattle and the young of thy flock, in the land which he swore to thy fathers to give thee.

¹⁵ And LORD will take away from thee all sickness. And none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou know, will he put upon thee, but will lay them upon all those who hate thee.

²⁸ Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee forever, when thou do that which is good and right in the eyes of LORD thy God.

¹⁸ when thou shall hearken to the voice of LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of LORD thy God.

¹ And it shall come to pass, if thou shall hearken diligently to the voice of LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that LORD thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth, ² and all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shall hearken to the voice of LORD thy God: ³ Blessed shall thou be in the city, and blessed shall thou be in the field. ⁴ Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy beasts, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock. ⁵ Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough. ⁶ Blessed shall thou be when thou come in, and blessed shall thou be when thou go out. ⁷ LORD will cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thee. They shall come out against thee one way, and shall flee before thee seven ways. ⁸ LORD will command the blessing upon thee in thy barns, and in all that thou put thy hand to. And he will bless thee in the land which LORD thy God gives thee. ⁹ LORD will establish thee for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to thee, if thou shall keep the commandments of LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. ¹⁰ And all the peoples of the earth shall see that thou are called by the name of LORD, and they shall be afraid of thee. ¹¹ And LORD will make thee plenteous for good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which LORD swore to thy fathers to give thee. ¹² LORD will open to thee his good treasure the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand. And thou shall lend to many nations, and thou shall not borrow. ¹³ And LORD will make thee the head, and not the tail. And thou shall only be above, and thou shall not be beneath, if thou shall hearken to the commandments of LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do, ¹⁴ and shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. ¹⁵ But it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken to the voice of LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

²⁷ LORD will smite thee with the boil of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which thou cannot be healed.

⁵⁸ If thou will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou may fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD,

⁶⁰ And he will bring upon thee again all the diseases of Egypt, which thou were afraid of, and they shall cling to thee.

³³ because that they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon. And they have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances as David his father did.

³⁸ And it shall be, if thou will hearken to all that I command thee, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did. That I will be with thee, and will build thee a sure house as I built for David, and will give Israel to thee.

⁵ Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the prince of my people, Thus says LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears. Behold, I will heal thee. On the third day thou shall go up to the house of LORD.

² And he did that which was right in the eyes of LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

¹⁸ For he injures, and binds up. He wounds, and his hands make whole.

³ LORD will support him upon the bed of languishing. Thou will make all his bed in his sickness. ⁴ I said, O LORD, have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

³ who forgives all thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases,

³ He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

¹⁸ I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.

²² Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

⁶ Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them. And I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.

⁵ But if a man be just, and does that which is lawful and right,

¹ Come, and let us return to LORD, for he has torn, and he will heal us. He has smitten, and he will bind us up.

¹¹ Behold, we regard those who endured, blessed. Ye have heard of the fortitude of Job, and have seen the outcome of the Lord, that he is very compassionate and merciful. ¹² But above all things, my brothers, swear not. Neither by the heaven, nor the earth, nor any other oath, but let your yes be yes, and the no, no, so that ye may not fall into hypocrisy. ¹³ Is any man among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise. ¹⁴ Is any man weak among you? Let him summon the elders of the congregation, and let them pray near him, having anointed him with olive oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will rescue him who is depressed, and the Lord will rouse him. And if he should be a man who has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. ¹⁶ Confess ye the trespasses to each other, and pray for each other so that ye may be healed. A working supplication of a righteous man is very powerful.

⁹ And they journeyed from Marah, and came to Elim. And in Elim were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there.

³ Therefore with joy ye shall draw water out of the wells of salvation.

¹² And by the river upon the bank of it, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither, nor shall the fruit of it fail. It shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters of it issue out of the sanctuary. And the fruit of it shall be for food, and the leaf of it for healing.

¹⁷ Because the Lamb in the midst of the throne will tend them, and will lead them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

² in the middle of its thoroughfare. And on this side of the river and on that was a tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit according to each month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
