And who is that god who shall deliver you out of my hands? ¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter. ¹⁷ If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king. ¹⁸ But if not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou have set up.

¹⁰ And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he knelt upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did formerly. ¹¹ Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God. ¹² Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's interdict. Have thou not signed an interdict, that every man who shall make petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter. ¹³ Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the sons of the captivity of Judah, does not regard thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou have signed, but makes his petition three times a day. ¹⁴ Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him. And he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him. ¹⁵ Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establishes may be changed. ¹⁶ Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou serve continually, he will deliver thee. ¹⁷ And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den. And the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords, that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel. ¹⁸ Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting, nor were instruments of music brought before him. And his sleep fled from him. ¹⁹ Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions. ²⁰ And when he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou serve continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? ²¹ Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live forever. ²² My God has sent his agent, and has shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me, inasmuch as before him innocence was found in me. And also before thee, O king, I have done no harm. ²³ Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of harm was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God. ²⁴ And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their sons, and their wives. And the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den. ²⁵ Then king Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you. ²⁶ I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, and steadfast forever. And his kingdom is that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even to the end. ²⁷ He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. ²⁸ So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

⁸ The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews were now seeking to stone thee, and thou go there again. ⁹ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day?

⁵ And it came to pass on the morrow, to be assembled in Jerusalem, their rulers, and elders, and scholars, ⁶ and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priestly family. ⁷ And after placing them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this? ⁸ Then Peter being filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, ⁹ if we are examined today about a good deed, of a feeble man, by what this man has been healed, ¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this, this man stands here before you healthy. ¹¹ This is the stone that was rejected by you who build, which became into the head of the corner. ¹² And salvation is not in any other man, for there is no other name under the heaven, that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.

²⁴ And those who heard lifted up a voice to God with one accord, and said, Thou Master, the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all things in them. ²⁵ He who said through the mouth of thy boy David, Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord, and against his Christ. ²⁷ For in truth, against thy holy Boy Jesus, whom thou anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together, ²⁸ to do as many things as thy hand and thy purpose predetermined to happen. ²⁹ And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word, ³⁰ by thy stretching forth thy hand for healing, and signs and wonders to happen through the name of thy holy Boy Jesus. ³¹ And when they prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. ³² And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. And not even one man said that anything of the things that was possessed by him was his own, but all things were common to them. ³³ And with great power the apostles gave back the testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

¹⁹ Nevertheless the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, The Lord knows those who are his, and, Let every man who names the name of the Lord keep away from unrighteousness.

³⁴ Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of LORD filled the tabernacle. ³⁵ And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereupon, and the glory of LORD filled the tabernacle.

⁵ For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel, to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

⁹ For the eyes of LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him. In this thou have done foolishly, for from henceforth thou shall have wars.

⁴ He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

¹¹ Sing praises to LORD, who dwells in Zion. Declare among the people his doings.

⁶ In my distress I called upon LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.

¹³ LORD looks from heaven. He beholds all the sons of men.

¹⁵ The eyes of LORD are toward the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. ¹⁶ (The face of LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.)

²¹ will not God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

⁷ He rules by his might forever. His eyes observe the nations. Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

¹⁹ LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

³ The eyes of LORD are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good.

¹ Thus says LORD, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What manner of house will ye build to me, and what place shall be my rest?

¹⁰ I, LORD, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

²⁴ Can any man hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? says LORD.

² Hear, ye peoples, all of you. Hearken, O earth, and all who are in it, and let the Lord LORD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.

²⁰ But LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before him.

¹³ Be silent, all flesh, before LORD, for he has arisen out of his holy habitation.

³⁴ But I say to you, not to swear at all, neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God,

²¹ And he who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.

⁴⁹ The heaven is to me a throne, and the earth a footstool of my feet. What house will ye build for me? says the Lord. Or what is the place of my rest?

⁴ who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or an object of worship, so as for him to sit in the temple of God, as God, displaying himself that he is God.

⁴ For thou are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil shall not sojourn with thee. ⁵ The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight. Thou hate all workers of iniquity.

⁹ O let the wickedness of the wicked man come to an end, but establish thou the righteous man. For the righteous God tries the minds and hearts.

³ For the wicked man boasts of his heart's desire. And the greedy man renounces, yea, despises LORD.

³ Thou have proved my heart. Thou have visited me in the night. Thou have tried me, and find nothing. I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

⁸ Thy hand will find out all thine enemies. Thy right hand will find out those who hate thee.

² Examine me, O LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

¹ O LORD, thou have searched me, and known.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts, ²⁴ and see if there is any wicked way in me. And lead me in the way everlasting.

¹⁶ There are six things which LORD hates, yea, seven which are an abomination to him: ¹⁷ haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, ¹⁸ a heart that devises wicked purposes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, ¹⁹ a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.

⁸ My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest. She has uttered her voice against me. Therefore I have hated her.

⁸ And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.

⁹ And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, It is my people, and they shall say, LORD is my God.

³ And he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. And he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver. And they shall offer to LORD offerings in righteousness.

¹² Blessed is a man who endures temptation, because, having become approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

²⁴ Then LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from LORD out of heaven.

³⁴ And he took and sent portions to them from before him, but Benjamin's portion was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.

²³ And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth, and LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt. ²⁴ So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

⁴ And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions,

²³ And Samuel said to the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said to thee, Set it by thee.

¹⁵ There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

²³ When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, and will rain it upon him while he is eating.

¹³ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty. ¹⁴ If his sons be multiplied, it is for the sword. And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. ¹⁵ Those who remain of him shall be buried in death, and his widows shall make no lamentation. ¹⁶ Though he heaps up silver as the dust, and prepares raiment as the clay, ¹⁷ he may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. ¹⁸ He builds his house as the moth, and as a booth which the keeper makes. ¹⁹ He lies down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers. He opens his eyes, and he is not. ²⁰ Terrors overtake him like waters. A tempest steals him away in the night. ²¹ The east wind carries him away, and he departs, and it sweeps him out of his place. ²² For God shall hurl at him, and not spare. He would gladly flee out of his hand. ²³ Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

⁵ LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.

⁸ For in the hand of LORD there is a cup, and the wine foams. It is full of mixture, and he pours out of the same, surely to the dregs of it. All the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

³² He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

¹⁷ Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. ¹⁸ And it shall come to pass, that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare. For the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.

¹⁷ Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, who have drunk at the hand of LORD the cup of his wrath. Thou have drunk the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.

²² Thus says thy lord LORD, and thy God who pleads the cause of his people: Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. Thou shall no more drink it again.

¹¹ At that time it shall be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse, ¹² a full wind from these shall come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them.

¹⁵ For thus says LORD, the God of Israel, to me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. ¹⁶ And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. ¹⁷ Then I took the cup at LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom LORD had sent me:

¹³ Therefore thus says the lord LORD: I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my wrath, and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

²² And I will enter into judgment with him with pestilence and with blood. And I will rain upon him, and upon his hordes, and upon the many peoples who are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

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.

²⁹ But in that day Lot went out from Sodom he rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed them all.

¹¹ Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup that the Father has given me, shall I, no, not drink it?

⁷ He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but he sets them forever with kings upon the throne, and they are exalted.

¹² For thou will bless the righteous man, O LORD. Thou will encompass him with favor as with a shield. Selah.

¹¹ God is a righteous judge. Yea, a God who has indignation every day.

¹⁵ As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy form.

⁶ For thou make him most blessed forever. Thou make him glad with joy in thy presence.

⁵ He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of LORD.

¹⁸ Behold, the eye of LORD is upon those who fear him, upon those who hope in his loving kindness,

¹⁵ The eyes of LORD are toward the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer.

⁵ Why are thou cast down, O my soul? And why are thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

⁷ Thou have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

⁴ The king's strength also loves justice. Thou establish equity. Thou execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

⁸ LORD opens the eyes of the blind. LORD raises up those who are bowed down. LORD loves the righteous.

⁸ For I, LORD, love justice. I hate robbery with iniquity. And I will give them their recompense in truth. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

¹² Because the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and his ears to their supplication, but the face of the Lord is against men who do evil things.

² Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

⁴ And they will see his face, and his name is on their foreheads.
