Or have thou walked in the recesses of the deep? ¹⁷ Have the gates of death been revealed to thee? Or have thou seen the gates of the shadow of death? ¹⁸ Have thou comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if thou know it all. ¹⁹ Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is the place of it ²⁰ that thou should take it to the bound of it, and that thou should discern the paths to the house of it? ²¹ Thou know, for thou were born then, and the number of thy days is great! ²² Have thou entered the treasuries of the snow, or have thou seen the treasures of the hail, ²³ which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? ²⁴ By what way is the light divided, or the east wind scattered upon the earth? ²⁵ Who has cleft a channel for the water flood, or the way for the lightning of the thunder, ²⁶ to cause it to rain on a land where no man is, on the wilderness, in which there is no man, ²⁷ to satisfy the waste and desolate ground, and to cause the tender grass to spring forth? ²⁸ Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew? ²⁹ Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who has engendered it? ³⁰ The waters hide themselves and become like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. ³¹ Can thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? ³² Can thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or can thou guide the Bear with her train? ³³ Do thou know the ordinances of the heavens? Can thou establish the dominion of it on the earth? ³⁴ Can thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? ³⁵ Can thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, and say to thee, Here we are? ³⁶ Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind? ³⁷ Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven ³⁸ when the dust runs into a mass, and the clods cleave fast together? ³⁹ Can thou hunt the prey for the lioness, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions ⁴⁰ when they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? ⁴¹ Who provides for the raven his prey when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?

¹ Can thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook, or press down his tongue with a cord? ² Can thou put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook? ³ Will he make many supplications to thee? Or will he speak soft words to thee? ⁴ Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou should take him for a servant forever? ⁵ Will thou play with him as with a bird? Or will thou bind him for thy maidens? ⁶ Will the bands make traffic of him? Will they part him among the merchants? ⁷ Can thou fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish-spears? ⁸ Lay thy hand upon him. Remember the battle, and do so no more. ⁹ Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Will not a man be cast down even at the sight of him? ¹⁰ None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me? ¹¹ Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Under the whole heaven is mine. ¹² I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame. ¹³ Who can strip off his outer garment? Who shall come within his jaws? ¹⁴ Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror. ¹⁵ His strong scales are his pride, shut up together like a close seal. ¹⁶ One is so near to another that no air can come between them. ¹⁷ They are joined one to another. They stick together, so that they cannot be parted. ¹⁸ His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. ¹⁹ Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth. ²⁰ Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, as of a boiling pot and burning rushes. ²¹ His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes forth from his mouth. ²² In his neck abides strength, and terror dances before him. ²³ The flakes of his flesh are joined together. They are firm upon him. They cannot be moved. ²⁴ His heart is as firm as a stone, Yea, firm as the nether millstone. ²⁵ When he raises himself up the mighty are afraid. Because of consternation they are beside themselves. ²⁶ If a man lays at him with the sword it cannot avail, nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft. ²⁷ He counts iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. ²⁸ The arrow cannot make him flee. Sling-stones are turned into stubble with him. ²⁹ Clubs are counted as stubble. He laughs at the rushing of the javelin. ³⁰ His underparts are like sharp potsherds. He spreads out as a threshing-wagon upon the mire. ³¹ He makes the deep to boil like a pot. He makes the sea like a pot of ointment. ³² He makes a path to shine after him. A man would think the deep to be hoary. ³³ Upon earth there is not his like who is made without fear. ³⁴ He beholds everything that is high. He is king over all the sons of pride.

⁵ Thy loving kindness, O LORD, is in the heavens, thy faithfulness to the skies. ⁶ Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God. Thy judgments are a great deep. O LORD, thou preserve man and beast.

⁹ LORD is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works.

¹¹ And should not I have regard for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand men who cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also much cattle?

²¹ And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, from birds, to cattle, to beasts, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man. ²² All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died. ²³ And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, from man, to cattle, to creeping things, and birds of the heavens, and they were destroyed from the earth. And only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark.

²¹ And LORD smelled the sweet savor. And LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I again any more smite everything living, as I have done. ²² While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

⁹ For this is as the waters of Noah to me. For as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee.

⁷ But now the heavens and the earth, which have been stored up by the same word, are being preserved for fire in a day of judgment and destruction of irreverent men.

¹¹ Therefore, all these things being disintegrated, what kind ought ye to be in holy actions and pieties,

¹¹ And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a sign of a covenant between me and you.

¹³ And the blood shall be to you for a sign upon the houses where ye are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

¹⁶ And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, for by strength of hand LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.

¹² Now therefore, I pray you, swear to me by LORD, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a true token,

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread, having expressed thanks, broke in pieces, and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is my body. ²⁷ And having taken the cup, having expressed thanks, he gave to them, saying, All ye drink of it, ²⁸ for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed on behalf of many for remission of sins.

²³ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread, ²⁴ and having expressed thanks, he broke in pieces, and said, Take ye, eat, this is my body broken for you. This do ye for my memorial. ²⁵ Likewise also the cup after the supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood. This do, as often as ye drink it, for my memorial.

²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice speaking.

³ similar in appearance to a jasper and a sardius stone. And a rainbow was around the throne, like an emerald in appearance.

¹ And I saw a mighty agent coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire,

¹² And thou shall put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

⁴² then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the land. ⁴³ The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. And they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes. ⁴⁴ And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them, for I am LORD their God, ⁴⁵ but for their sakes I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am LORD.

⁹ Know therefore that LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

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,

³² Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, let not all the travail seem little before thee, that has come upon us, on our kings, on our rulers, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.

⁴⁵ And he remembered his covenant for them, and relented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

⁸ In overflowing wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on thee, says LORD thy Redeemer.

²¹ Do not abhor us. For thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory. Remember, do not break thy covenant with us.

⁶⁰ Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish to thee an everlasting covenant.

⁷² to do mercy with our fathers, and his holy covenant to be remembered,

⁹ And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you, ¹⁰ and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. ¹¹ And I will establish my covenant with you. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, nor shall there be a flood any more to destroy the earth.

⁷ And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee.

¹³ He who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised. And my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

¹⁹ And God said, No, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shall call his name Isaac. And I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

⁵ Truly my house is not so with God. Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure. For it is all my salvation, and all my desire, though he does not make it to grow.

³ I have made a covenant with my chosen. I have sworn to David my servant: ⁴ Thy seed I will establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

³ Incline your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul shall live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the faithful holy things of David.

⁴⁰ And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. And I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood of an eternal covenant-our Lord Jesus-

²³ And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were backward, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

²⁵ And he said, Cursed be Canaan. He shall be a servant of servants to his brothers. ²⁶ And he said, Blessed be LORD, the God of Shem. And let Canaan be his servant. ²⁷ God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem. And let Canaan be his servant.

¹ Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.

⁶ And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

⁴ Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

³² And Noah was five hundred years old. And Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

² The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ³ And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. ⁴ And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. ⁵ From these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, every man according to his tongue, according to their families, in their nations. ⁶ And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. ⁷ And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan. ⁸ And Cush begot Nimrod. He began to be a mighty man on the earth. ⁹ He was a mighty hunter before LORD. Therefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before LORD. ¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ¹¹ He went forth out of that land into Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah, ¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city). ¹³ And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, ¹⁴ and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from where the Philistines went forth), and Caphtorim. ¹⁵ And Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁷ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁸ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad. ¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as thou go toward Gerar, to Gaza, as thou go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, to Lasha. ²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. ²¹ And to Shem, the father of all the sons of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were also born to him. ²² The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. ²³ And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. ²⁴ And Arphaxad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber. ²⁵ And to Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg. For in his days the earth was divided. And his brother's name was Joktan. ²⁶ And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, ²⁷ and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, ²⁸ and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, ²⁹ and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. ³⁰ And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. ³¹ These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations. ³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations. And from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.

⁴ Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. ⁵ The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ⁶ And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Diphath, and Togarmah. ⁷ And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim. ⁸ The sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. ⁹ And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabta, and Raama, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan. ¹⁰ And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. ¹¹ And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, ¹² and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whence came the Philistines), and Caphtorim. ¹³ And Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, ¹⁴ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁵ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁶ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. ¹⁷ The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Meshech. ¹⁸ And Arphaxad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber. ¹⁹ And to Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. And his brother's name was Joktan. ²⁰ And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, ²¹ and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, ²² and Ebal, and Abimael, and Sheba, ²³ and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. ²⁴ Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, ²⁵ Eber, Peleg, Reu, ²⁶ Serug, Nahor, Terah, ²⁷ Abram (the same is Abraham). ²⁸ The sons of Abraham: Isaac and Ishmael.

¹⁸ Also, thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to thee, and thou shall eat the herb of the field. ¹⁹ In the sweat of thy face thou shall eat bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it thou were taken. For thou are dust, and to dust thou shall return.

²³ therefore LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from where he was taken.

² And again she bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

²⁹ And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, because of the ground which LORD has cursed.

⁶ And what man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not used the fruit of it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use the fruit of it.

³⁰ Thou shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. Thou shall build a house, and thou shall not dwell in it. Thou shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use the fruit of it.

¹¹ The mouth of a righteous man is a fountain of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

¹¹ He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who pursues vanities is void of understanding.

³⁰ I went by the field of the sluggard, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding.

⁹ Moreover the abundance of the land is for all. The king himself is served by the field.

⁶ Look not upon me, because I am swarthy, because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were incensed against me. They made me keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept.

²⁴ Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he continually open and harrow his ground? ²⁵ When he has leveled the face of it, does he not cast abroad the chick-peas, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in the border of it? ²⁶ For his God instructs him aright, and teaches him.

⁷ Who ever enlists in an army at his own wage? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from the fruit of it? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat from the milk of the flock?

⁹ These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.

³² Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed by our father. ³³ And they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose. ³⁴ And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said to the younger, Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine this night also, and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed by our father. ³⁵ And they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose. ³⁶ Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

¹ Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever errs thereby is not wise.

³¹ Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly. ³² At the end it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.

²⁰ Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth that does good, and sins not.

¹⁵ Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, who adds thy venom, and also makes him drunken, that thou may look on their nakedness! ¹⁶ Thou are filled with shame, and not glory. Drink thou also, and be as one uncircumcised. The cup of LORD's right hand shall come around to thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory.

³ And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. ⁴ And having departed, he conversed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them.

¹³ Let us walk decently as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in beddings and wantonness, not in strife and envy.

¹² Therefore let him who seems to stand take heed lest he fall.

²¹ envyings, murders, intoxications, revelings, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, as I also did forewarn, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

² Aged men are to be sober, noble, serious minded, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy from me gold refined from fire, so that thou may become wealthy, and white garments, so that thou may clothe thyself, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be made known, and eye-salve, so that thou may anoint thine eyes, so that thou may see.

²⁵ And he said, Cursed be Canaan. He shall be a servant of servants to his brothers.

¹⁵ And Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁷ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁸ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad. ¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as thou go toward Gerar, to Gaza, as thou go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

¹⁹ Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places! How are the mighty fallen! ²⁰ Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

⁸ The sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

¹³ And Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, ¹⁴ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁵ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁶ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite.

²⁰ For they speak not peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land. ²¹ Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.

¹⁵ Let them be desolate because of their shame who say to me, Aha, aha.

³ Let them be turned back because of their shame who say, Aha, aha.

⁹ Debate thy case with thy neighbor himself, and disclose not the secret of another,

¹⁷ The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

¹² But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the sons of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor speak proudly in the day of distress. ¹³ Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor lay ye hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.

¹⁵ But if thy brother should sin against thee, go and reprove him between thee and him alone. If he should hear thee, thou have gained thy brother.

⁶ does not rejoice in wrong but rejoices in the truth,

¹ And brothers, if a man is overtaken in some transgression, ye the spiritual, restore such in a spirit of meekness, looking to thyself lest thou also be tempted.

¹² Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which LORD thy God gives thee.

³² Thou shall rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and thou shall fear thy God. I am LORD.

⁷ Render therefore to all, the things due: tax to the man of tax, tribute to the man of tribute, fear to the man of fear, esteem to the man of esteem.

¹ Do not rebuke an elder man, but entreat him as a father, younger men as brothers,

¹⁷ Let the elders who rule well be regarded worthy of double compensation, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.

¹⁹ Accept no accusation against an elder, except at two or three witnesses.

¹⁷ Respect all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Respect the king.

⁸ And above all having fervent love for yourselves, because love will cover a multitude of sins,

¹⁴ And LORD God said to the serpent, Because thou have done this, cursed are thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. Upon thy belly thou shall go, and dust thou shall eat all the days of thy life.

¹¹ And now cursed are thou from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.

²² And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

⁷ Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce, and their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

¹⁶ Cursed be he who dishonors his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Truly.

¹⁸ Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock.

²³ Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall never fail to be bondmen of you, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.

²⁷ And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of LORD to this day in the place which he should choose.

²⁸ And it came to pass, when Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanites to task work, and did not utterly drive them out. ²⁹ And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. ³⁰ Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol, but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became subject to task work.

²⁰ As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the sons of Israel, ²¹ their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them Solomon raised a conscription of bondservants to this day.

⁷ As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, that were not of Israel, ⁸ of their sons who were left after them in the land whom the sons of Israel did not consumed, of them Solomon raised a levy of bondservants to this day.

⁴¹ Then he will also say to those at the left hand, Depart from me, ye accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his agents.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.

¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ¹¹ He went forth out of that land into Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah, ¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city). ¹³ And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, ¹⁴ and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from where the Philistines went forth), and Caphtorim. ¹⁵ And Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁷ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁸ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad. ¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as thou go toward Gerar, to Gaza, as thou go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, to Lasha. ²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. ²¹ And to Shem, the father of all the sons of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were also born to him. ²² The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. ²³ And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. ²⁴ And Arphaxad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber. ²⁵ And to Eber were born two sons.
