¹⁸ Who, against hope, believed in hope, in order for him to become father of many nations according to that which was spoken, So thy seed will be. ¹⁹ And not being weak in faith he did not regard his body, which was now deadened (being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. ²⁰ And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but became strong in faith, giving glory to God, ²¹ and being fully assured that what he promised, he was able also to perform. ²² And therefore it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

⁸ By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go out to the place that he was going to take for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. ⁹ By faith he lived alien in the land of promise as a foreigner, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he anticipated the city that has the foundations, whose builder and architect is God. ¹¹ By faith even Sarah herself received power for conception of seed, and she gave birth beyond the time of age, because she considered him faithful who promised. ¹² And therefore from one man, and these things having become deadened, were begotten as the stars of the heaven for multitude, and as the sand of the seashore, countless. ¹³ All these died in faith, not having taken the promises, but who saw and greeted them from afar, and who confessed that they were foreigners and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things show that they are seeking a fatherland. ¹⁵ And if indeed they remembered that from which they came out, they would have had time to return. ¹⁶ But now they aspire for a superior one, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, being tested, offered Isaac. And he who received the promises offered his only begotten son, ¹⁸ about whom it was said, The seed by thee will be called in Isaac. ¹⁹ Having reckoned that God is able to raise up even from the dead, from where also, in a figure, he did receive him back. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau about things coming. ²¹ By faith Jacob, while dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed in worship upon the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, while perishing, remembered about the exodus of the sons of Israel, and commanded about his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, after being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child well-formed, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. ²⁴ By faith Moses, having become great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ having chosen rather to be mistreated with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin temporarily. ²⁶ Having esteemed the vilification of the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he focused toward the recompense of reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not having feared the wrath of the king, for he persevered as seeing the invisible. ²⁸ By faith he performed the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who was destroying the firstborn would not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land, of which the Egyptians, having taken an attempt, were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, having been encircled for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot was not destroyed with those who were disobedient, having received the spies with peace. ³² And what shall I say further? For the time would fail me telling about Gideon, also Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets,

³ And the sons of Israel cried to LORD, for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he mightily oppressed the sons of Israel twenty years.

And ye cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand. ¹³ Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more. ¹⁴ Go and cry to the gods which ye have chosen. Let them save you in the time of your distress. ¹⁵ And the sons of Israel said to LORD, We have sinned. Do thou to us whatever seems good to thee, only deliver us, we pray thee, this day. ¹⁶ And they put away the foreign gods from among them, and served LORD. And his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

² O my God, in thee I have trusted. Let me not be put to shame. Let not my enemies triumph over me. ³ Yea, none who wait for thee shall be put to shame. They shall be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.

¹ In thee, O LORD, do I take refuge. Let me never be put to shame. Deliver me in thy righteousness.

⁶ Let not those who wait for thee be put to shame through me, O lord LORD of hosts. Let not those who seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel. ⁷ Because for thy sake I have borne reproach, shame has covered my face.

¹ In thee, O LORD, do I take refuge. Let me never be put to shame.

⁶ Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his name, they called upon LORD, and he answered them. ⁷ He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

⁴⁴ Nevertheless he regarded their distress when he heard their cry.

¹⁷ But Israel shall be saved by LORD with an everlasting salvation. Ye shall not be put to shame nor confounded world without end.

²³ And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers. They shall bow down to thee with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet. And thou shall know that I am LORD, and those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.

³³ just as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And every man who believes in him will not be shamed.

⁶ It is therefore contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, chosen, precious. And he who believes in him will, no, not be shamed.

⁶ How much less man, who is a worm! And the son of man, who is a worm!

¹¹ I have become a reproach because of all my adversaries, yea, to my neighbors exceedingly, and a fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me outside fled from me.

⁷ Because for thy sake I have borne reproach, shame has covered my face. ⁸ I have become a stranger to my brothers, and an alien to my mother's sons. ⁹ For the zeal of thy house has eaten me up, and the reproaches of those who reproach thee have fallen upon me. ¹⁰ When I wept in my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. ¹¹ When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. ¹² Those who sit in the gate talk of me, and I am the song of the drunkards.

¹⁹ Thou know my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before thee. ²⁰ Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none.

⁸ Thou have put my acquaintances far from me. Thou have made me an abomination to them. I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

¹⁴ Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel. I will help thee, says LORD, and thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

⁷ Thus says LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers. Kings shall see and arise, rulers, and they shall worship, because of LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen thee.

³ He was despised, and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. And as him from whom men hide their face he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

³⁰ Let him give his cheek to him who smites him. Let him be filled full with reproach.

¹⁹ The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.

²⁴ But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebub the ruler of the demons.

²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. ²¹ Now the governor having answered, he said to them, Which of the two do ye want I would release to you? And they said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate says to them, What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, He should be crucified. ²³ And the governor said, For what evil has he done? But they cried out even more, saying, He should be crucified.

¹⁵ The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How does this man know scholarly material, not having learned?

²⁰ The multitude answered and said, Thou have a demon. Who seeks to kill thee?

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, Have ye not also been led astray? ⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ But this multitude that does not know the law are accursed.

⁴⁸ Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?

¹² Therefore Jesus also, so that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside the gate.

³ And they sing the song of Moses the bondman of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty, righteous and true are thy ways, thou King of the nations.

⁴ I also could speak as ye do, if your soul were in my soul's stead. I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you.

¹⁰ They have gaped upon me with their mouth. They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.

⁹ And now I have become their song, Yea, I am a byword to them. ¹⁰ They abhor me. They stand aloof from me, and do not spare to spit in my face. ¹¹ For he has loosed his cord, and afflicted me. And they have cast off the bridle before me.

¹⁸ Let the lying lips be dumb, which speak against the righteous man insolently, with pride and contempt.

¹⁵ But in my adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The wretches gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not. They tore me, and ceased not. ¹⁶ Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

¹⁴ Thou make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

²⁵ I also have become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

²² this is the word which LORD has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised thee and laughed thee to scorn. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee. 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.

⁴ Against whom do ye sport yourselves, against whom ye make a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

²⁴ he says to them, Depart, for the little girl did not die, but sleeps. And they ridiculed him.

⁶⁶ What does it seem to you? Having answered, they said, He is deserving of death. ⁶⁷ Then they spat in his face and struck him with a fist. And some slapped him, ⁶⁸ saying, Prophesy to us, thou Christ. Who is he who struck thee?

²⁹ And having woven a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And having knelt down before him, they ridiculed him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews!

³⁹ And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

²⁹ And having answering, Jesus said to them, I also will question you one word, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. ³⁰ The immersion of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me. ³¹ And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? ³² But should we say, From men? (They feared the people, for all held John that he was indeed a prophet.)

²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took the purple garment off of him, and dressed him with his own garments. And they lead him out so that they might crucify him.

²⁹ And those who passed by railed at him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! Thou who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,

¹⁴ And the Pharisees, being lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered him.

¹¹ But Herod having disdained him with his soldiers, and having mocked him, having arraying him in a bright robe, he sent him back to Pilate.

³⁵ And the people had stood watching. And also the rulers with them sneered, saying, He saved others. He should save himself, if this is the Christ, the chosen of God. ³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked him, approaching, and bringing him vinegar, ³⁷ and saying, If thou are the king of the Jews, save thyself. ³⁸ And there was also an inscription over him written in letters, in Greek and Latin and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁹ And one of the malefactors who were hanged railed him, saying, If thou are the Christ, save thyself and us.

¹ LORD, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me. ² Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

¹⁹ He also brought me forth into a large place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.

⁵ Commit thy way to LORD. Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.

¹⁰ As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me; while they continually say to me, Where is thy God?

²² (Cast thy burden upon LORD, and he will sustain thee. He will never allow the righteous man to be moved.)

¹⁴ Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high because he has known my name.

³ Commit thy works to LORD, and thy purposes shall be established.

¹ Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

¹⁷ And lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹⁸ Behold, my Boy whom I chose, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will declare justice to the Gentiles.

⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him.

⁴² He saved others, he cannot save himself. If he is the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him. ⁴³ He trusted in God, let him rescue him now, if he wants him, for he said, I am the Son of God.

³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross. ³¹ Likewise also the chief priests mocking among each other with the scholars said, He saved others, he cannot save himself. ³² Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe in him. And those who were crucified with him reviled him.

³⁵ And the people had stood watching. And also the rulers with them sneered, saying, He saved others. He should save himself, if this is the Christ, the chosen of God.

⁶ By thee I have been held up from the womb. Thou are he who took me out of my mother's bowels. My praise shall be continually of thee.

¹⁷ O God, thou have taught me from my youth, and I have declared thy wondrous works until now.

¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. ¹⁶ Thine eyes saw my unformed substance, and in thy book they were all written, even the days that were ordained, when as yet there was none of them.

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. ¹⁵ Butter and honey shall he eat, when he knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

¹ Listen, O isles, to me, and hearken, ye peoples from far. LORD has called me from the womb. From the bowels of my mother he has made mention of my name. ² And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hid me in the shadow of his hand, and he has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.

¹³ Now after they departed, behold, an agent of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, After rising, take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and thou be there until I tell thee, for Herod is going to seek the child to destroy it. ¹⁴ And having awakened, he took the child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt. ¹⁵ And he was there until the end of Herod, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, Out of Egypt I called my Son.

⁴ And his tail drags the third part of the stars of the sky, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was going to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child. ⁵ And she gave birth to a son, a male who was going to tend all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was taken up to God and to his throne.

³ Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from their birth, who have been carried from the womb. ⁴ And even to old age I am he, and even to hoar hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear, yea, I will carry, and will deliver.

¹ Listen, O isles, to me, and hearken, ye peoples from far. LORD has called me from the womb. From the bowels of my mother he has made mention of my name.

⁵ Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou came forth out of the womb I sanctified thee. I have appointed thee a prophet to the nations.

⁴⁰ And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom. And the grace of God was upon it.

⁵² And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and men.

¹⁷ Jesus says to her, Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brothers, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

¹⁵ But when it pleased God who separated me from my mother's belly, and called me through his grace,

³⁶ For LORD will judge his people, and regrets for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.

²⁶ For LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter, for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.

¹ How long, O LORD? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me? ² How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? ³ Consider and answer me, O LORD my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

²² Thou have seen it, O LORD. Keep not silence. O Lord, be not far from me.

²¹ Forsake me not, O LORD. O my God, be not far from me.

¹ Save me, O God, for the waters have come in to my soul. ² I sink in deep mire where there is no standing. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

¹⁸ Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.

¹² O God, be not far from me. O my God, make haste to help me.

¹² For he will deliver a needy man when he cries, and a poor man, who has no helper.

⁴ Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man who knows me. Refuge has failed me. No man cares for my soul. ⁵ I cried to thee, O LORD. I said, Thou are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. ⁶ Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

⁵ And I looked, and there was none to help. And I wondered that there was none to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. And my wrath, it upheld me.

⁵⁶ But all this has come to pass, so that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples fled, having forsook him.

⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

⁷⁴ Then he began to curse vehemently and to swear, I do not know the man. And straightaway a cock sounded.

³² Behold, the hour comes, and now has come, that ye will be scattered, each man to his own things, and ye will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

¹⁴ butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat, and of the blood of the grape thou drank wine. ¹⁵ But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. Thou have grown fat. Thou have grown thick. Thou have become sleek. Then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

³⁰ Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, trampling under foot the pieces of silver. He has scattered the peoples that delight in war.

⁷ And the wild oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls. And their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

¹¹ Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye who plunder my heritage, because ye are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses,

¹⁸ Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the rulers of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

¹ Hear this word, ye cows of Bashan, who are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their lords, Bring, and let us drink. ² The lord LORD has sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that they shall take you away with hooks, and your residue with fish-hooks. ³ And ye shall go out at the breaches, each one straight before her, and ye shall cast yourselves into Harmon, says LORD.

¹ But having become morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people held consultation against Jesus in order to condemn him to death.

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,

² lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

¹² He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

⁷ All those who see me laugh me to scorn. They shoot out the lip. They shake the head, saying,

²¹ Save me from the lion's mouth, yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen. Thou have answered me.

¹⁷ Lord, how long will thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.

²¹ Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.

¹⁶ All thine enemies have opened their mouth wide against thee. They hiss and gnash the teeth. They say, We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for. We have found, we have seen it.

⁴⁶ All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.

²⁷ Her rulers in the midst of it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain. ²⁸ And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the lord LORD, when LORD has not spoken.

³ Then the chief priests, and the scholars, and the elders of the people, assembled together to the courtyard of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, ⁴ and they deliberated so that they might take Jesus by trickery, and kill him.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and the elders and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death, ⁶⁰ and they did not find it. And although many false witnesses came, they did not find it. ⁶¹ But finally two false witnesses having come, they said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it by three days. ⁶² And the high priest having stood up, he said to him, Answer thou nothing? What do these testify against thee? ⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And having responded, the high priest said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou are the Christ, the Son of God. ⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, Thou have said. Nevertheless I say to you, Henceforth ye will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming in the clouds of the sky. ⁶⁵ Then the high priest tore his garments, saying, He has blasphemed. What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now ye heard his blasphemy.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant. Your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom to devour.

⁵ And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men. And they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and smote them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

¹⁶ For God has made my heart faint, and the Almighty has terrified me,

¹⁶ And now my soul is poured out within me. Days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

¹⁷ I may count all my bones. They look and stare upon me.

¹⁰ For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.

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.

⁶ Then the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him. And the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.

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.

³⁸ Then Jesus says to them, My soul is deeply grieved, as far as of death. Remain ye here and watch with me.

³³ And he takes Peter and James and John with him, and began to be greatly disturbed, and very distressed. ³⁴ And he says to them, My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain ye here, and watch.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But because of this I came to this hour.

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.

²⁷ And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.

²¹ And why do thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie down in the dust, and thou will seek me diligently, but I shall not be.

⁹ Remember, I beseech thee, that thou have fashioned me as clay. And will thou bring me into dust again?

¹⁰ The voice of the ranking men was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.

¹⁵ all flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again to dust.

⁹ What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?

¹⁰ My heart throbs, my strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.

³ I am weary with my crying. My throat is dried. My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

²¹ They also gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

²⁹ Thou hide thy face, they are troubled. Thou take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

²² A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

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.

⁴ The tongue of the sucking child clings to the roof of his mouth for thirst. The young sons ask bread, and no man breaks it to them.

² And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

⁵⁰ And Jesus, having cried out again in a great voice, yielded up his spirit.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, having seen that all things are now completed, so that the scripture might be fully complete, says, I thirst.

³ For I delivered to you at first what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,

¹ My God, my God, why have thou forsaken me, far from helping me, and the words of my groaning?

²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword, the only one of me from the power of the dog.

⁶ They return at evening. They howl like a dog, and go round about the city.

¹⁴ And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, and go round about the city.

¹⁴ O God, the proud have risen up against me, and a company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before them.

⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed.

⁶ For even thy brothers, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee, even they have cried aloud after thee. Believe them not, though they speak fair words to thee.

¹⁰ And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication. And they shall look to me whom they have pierced. And they shall mourn for him, as a man mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as a man who is in bitterness for his firstborn.

⁶ Do not give what is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them by their feet, and having turn back may lacerate you.

⁵⁷ And those who seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest where the scholars and the elders were assembled together.

³⁵ And when they crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away inside the courtyard, which is the Praetorium, and they call together the whole band. ¹⁷ And they put purple clothing on him, and clothe him with a woven crown of thorns, ¹⁸ and began to salute him, Hail, king of the Jews! ¹⁹ And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshiped him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took the purple garment off of him, and dressed him with his own garments. And they lead him out so that they might crucify him.

²⁴ And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot for them, who would take what.

⁵³ And after he said these things to them, the scholars and the Pharisees began to harass him extremely, and to provoke him to speak impulsively about more things, ⁵⁴ waiting to ambush him, seeking to catch something out of his mouth so that they might accuse him.

⁶³ And the men who held Jesus mocked him, while striking him. ⁶⁴ And having covered him, they struck his face, and demanded him, saying, Prophesy! Who is he who struck thee? ⁶⁵ And they spoke many other things against him, railing against him. ⁶⁶ And when it became day, the eldership of the people, the chief priests, and the scholars, came together, and led him into their council, saying, ⁶⁷ If thou are the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not believe, ⁶⁸ and if I also ask, ye will, no, not answer nor release. ⁶⁹ From henceforth the Son of man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God. ⁷⁰ And they all said, Therefore thou are the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am. ⁷¹ And they said, What further need have we of testimony? For we have heard from his mouth.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing guilty in this man. ⁵ But they were emphatic, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee as far as here.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scholars had stood, vehemently accusing him. ¹¹ But Herod having disdained him with his soldiers, and having mocked him, having arraying him in a bright robe, he sent him back to Pilate.

²³ But they were relentless with loud voices demanding him to be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.

³³ And when they came to the place called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one at the right hand and the other at the left.

²³ The soldiers therefore when they crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. But the tunic was a seamless weave, from the top throughout.

³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and straightaway blood and water came out.

³⁷ And again another scripture says, They will look toward whom they pierced.

²⁵ The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I may see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will, no, not believe.

²⁷ Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put into my side, and do not become faithless, but believing.

² Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workmen, beware of the excision.

¹⁵ Outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every man who loves and makes a lie.

²¹ His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seen. And his bones that were not seen stick out.

³ For my days consume away like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand. ⁴ My heart is smitten like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread. ⁵ Because of the voice of my groaning my bones cling to my flesh.

¹⁴ Just as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred, more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),

³⁶ And as they sat, they keep watch over him there.

³⁹ And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou are the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ And likewise also the chief priests, ridiculing with the scholars, and elders, and Pharisees, said,

²⁹ And those who passed by railed at him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! Thou who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,

²⁷ And a great multitude of the people followed him, and also of women who bewailed and lamented him.

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. And dividing his garments, they cast a lot.

²³ The soldiers therefore when they crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. But the tunic was a seamless weave, from the top throughout. ²⁴ They said therefore among themselves, Let us not divide it, but cast a lot for it, whose it will be, so that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast a lot. Therefore the soldiers indeed did these things.

¹ I love thee, O LORD, my strength.

¹ The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD. And in thy salvation how greatly he shall rejoice!

¹³ Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, O LORD.

¹⁷ But I am poor and needy, yet the Lord thinks upon me. Thou are my help and my deliverer. Make no delay, O my God.

¹³ But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O LORD. In an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of thy loving kindness, answer me in the truth of thy salvation. ¹⁴ Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters. ¹⁵ Let not the water flood overwhelm me, nor let the deep swallow me up. And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me. ¹⁶ Answer me, O LORD, for thy loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou to me, ¹⁷ and hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily. ¹⁸ Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.

⁵ But I am poor and needy. Make haste to me, O God. Thou are my help and my deliverer, O LORD. Delay thou not.

¹³ Arise, O LORD, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword,

⁷ Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is my companion, says LORD of hosts. Smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. And I will turn my hand upon the little ones.

²² God brings them forth out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox.

¹⁷ The firstling of his herd, majesty is his. And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox. With them he shall push the peoples, all of them, even the ends of the earth. And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

⁹ Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib? ¹⁰ Can thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

⁵³ When I was with you daily in the temple, ye did not stretch forth hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

⁵⁹ Therefore they took up stones so that they might throw at him, but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and thus passed on.

³⁰ I will no longer speak many things with you, for the ruler of the world comes. And he has nothing on me,

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye murdered, having hung on a tree. ³¹ God exalted this man with his right hand, a Pathfinder and a Savior to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins. ³² And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.

¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the sacred message might be brought to fullness, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.

²⁵ From thee comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.

⁹ I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly. Lo, I will not refrain my lips. O LORD, thou know. ¹⁰ I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart. I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy loving kindness and thy truth from the great assembly.

¹⁸ Yea, even when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not, until I have declared thy strength to a generation, thy might to everyone who is to come. ¹⁹ Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, thou who have done great things. O God, who is like thee?

⁴⁸ But having answered, he said to the man who told him, Who is my mother, and who are my brothers? ⁴⁹ And having stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, he said, Behold, my mother and my brothers.

⁴⁰ And having answered, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brothers, the least, ye did it to me.

¹⁰ Then Jesus says to them, Fear not. Go notify my brothers that they should depart into Galilee, and there they will see me.

²⁵ Therefore some of the Jerusalemites said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? ²⁶ And lo, he speaks in public, and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the rulers really know that this really is the Christ?

²⁹ Because whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be of similar nature of the form of his Son, in order for him to be the firstborn son among many brothers.

¹¹ For both he who sanctifies and those being sanctified are all of one, because of which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers, ¹² saying, I will declare thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to thee.

⁸ O give thanks to LORD. Call upon his name. Make known his doings among the peoples. ⁹ Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Talk ye of all his marvelous works. ¹⁰ Glory ye in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek LORD rejoice. ¹¹ Seek ye LORD and his strength. Seek his face evermore. ¹² Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, ¹³ O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.

³⁰ A seed shall serve him. It shall be told of the Lord to the next generation.

⁸ Let all the earth fear LORD. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

¹² I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

³ Glory ye in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek LORD rejoice. ⁴ Seek ye LORD and his strength. Seek his face evermore. ⁵ Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, ⁶ O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen. ⁷ He is LORD our God. His judgments are in all the earth.

⁵ that I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

¹ O give thanks to LORD, For he is good, for his loving kindness is forever. ² Let the redeemed of LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

¹¹ Ye who fear LORD, trust in LORD. He is their help and their shield.

¹³ He will bless those who fear LORD, both small and great.

¹⁹ O house of Israel, bless ye LORD. O house of Aaron, bless ye LORD. ²⁰ O house of Levi, bless ye LORD. Ye who fear LORD, bless ye LORD.

¹⁹ He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry and will save them.

³ Therefore a strong people shall glorify thee, a city of oppressive nations shall fear thee.

⁵⁰ And his mercy is for generations of generations to those who fear him.

²⁰ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they heard and saw, as it was told to them.

¹⁹ Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own, ²⁰ for ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and your spirit, which is of God.

³¹ Therefore whether ye eat, or drink, or anything ye do, do all to the glory of God.

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.

² O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answer not, and in the night season, and I am not silent.

⁶ But I am a worm, and no man, a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

⁶ This poor man cried, and LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

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?

¹⁷ and hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily.

²⁹ But I am poor and sorrowful. Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. ³⁰ I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving, ³¹ and it will please LORD better than an ox, or a bullock that has horns and hoofs. ³² The meek have seen it, and are glad. Ye who seek after God, let your heart live. ³³ For LORD hears the needy, and does not despise his prisoners. ³⁴ Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and everything that moves therein.

³ The cords of death encompassed me, and the pains of Sheol got hold upon me. I found trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then I called upon the name of LORD. O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. ⁵ Gracious is LORD, and righteous. Yea, our God is merciful. ⁶ LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

⁵ Out of my distress I called upon LORD. LORD answered me upon a large place.

⁶ I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I did not hide my face from shame and spitting. ⁷ For the lord LORD will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. ⁸ He is near who justifies me. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me. ⁹ Behold, the lord LORD will help me. Who is he who shall condemn me? Behold, all they shall grow old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

⁴⁶ And Jesus, having sounded out in a great voice, said, Father, into thy hands I entrust my spirit. And having said these things, he expired.

²² I will declare thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will praise thee.

¹⁸ I will give thee thanks in the great assembly. I will praise thee among much people.

¹² Thy vows are upon me, O God. I will render thank offerings to thee.

¹³ I will come into thy house with burnt offerings. I will pay thee my vows,

¹⁶ Come, and hear, all ye who fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.

¹ Praise ye LORD. I will give thanks to LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

¹⁴ I will pay my vows to LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people. ¹⁵ Precious in the sight of LORD is the death of his sanctified. ¹⁶ O LORD, truly I am thy servant. I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou have loosed my bonds. ¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of LORD. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows to LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ in the courts of LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye LORD.

¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to LORD. ²⁰ This is the gate of LORD. The righteous shall enter into it.

⁴ When thou vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which thou vow. ⁵ Better is it that thou should not vow, than that thou should vow and not pay.

¹¹ And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer to LORD. ¹² If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour soaked. ¹³ He shall offer his oblation with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving with cakes of leavened bread. ¹⁴ And from it he shall offer one out of each oblation for a heave offering to LORD. It shall be the priest's who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings. ¹⁵ And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his oblation; he shall not leave any of it until the morning. ¹⁶ But if the sacrifice of his oblation be a vow, or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the morrow that which remains of it shall be eaten, ¹⁷ but that which remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.

¹⁶ Let all those who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee. Let such as love thy salvation say continually, LORD be magnified.

³² The meek have seen it, and are glad. Ye who seek after God, let your heart live.

³ Glory ye in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek LORD rejoice. ⁴ Seek ye LORD and his strength. Seek his face evermore.

⁹ For he satisfies the longing soul, and he fills the hungry soul with good,

⁶ And in this mountain LORD of hosts will make to all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the dregs, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the dregs well refined.

¹³ Therefore thus says the lord LORD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry. Behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty. Behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be put to shame.

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will, no, not thirst into the age. But the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. ⁵⁰ This is the bread that comes down out of heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread, having come down out of heaven. If any man eats of this bread, he will live into the age. And also, the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵² The Jews therefore contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink. ⁵⁶ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, also he who eats me, that man will also live because of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live into the age.

⁸ Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

⁸ He shall also have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

¹¹ Yea, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.

⁹ All nations whom thou have made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and they shall glorify thy name.

⁷ Ascribe to LORD, ye kindred of the peoples. Ascribe to LORD glory and strength.

³ He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

²² when the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve LORD.

¹ O praise LORD, all ye Gentiles, laud him, all ye peoples.

²² Look to me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else.

⁸ Remember this, and show yourselves men. Bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. ⁹ Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is none else. I am God, and there is none like me,

⁶ yea, he says, It is too light a thing that thou should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

¹² Lo, these shall come from far, and, lo, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim.

¹⁵ and saying, Men, why are ye doing these things? We also are men of like nature with you, proclaiming good news to you, to turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all the things in them,

²¹ testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

¹⁸ to open their eyes to turn about from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, for them to receive remission of sins and a lot among those who have been sanctified by faith in me. ¹⁹ Whereupon, King Agrippa, I did not become disobedient to the heavenly vision, ²⁰ but declaring first to those at Damascus and then at Jerusalem, and in all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, to repent and return to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

²⁶ but that was now revealed, and by prophetic scriptures, according to a commandment of the eternal God that was made known to all the nations for obedience of faith,

⁹ For they report about us what kind of entrance we had with you, and how ye turned to God from the idols to serve a living and true God,

⁹ After these things, I looked and lo, a great multitude, which none could number, out of every nation, and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands, 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!

⁷ For God is the King of all the earth. Sing ye praises with understanding. ⁸ God reigns over the nations. God sits upon his holy throne.

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.

²¹ And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingdom shall be LORD's.

⁹ And LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day LORD shall be one, and his name one.

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.

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.

¹² And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with a gift. The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

⁶ Those who trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches, ⁷ none can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him ⁸ (for the redemption of their life is costly, and it fails forever), ⁹ that he should still live always, that he should not see corruption.

¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. ¹¹ Yea, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.

⁷ Their eyes stand out with fatness. They have more than heart could wish.

³¹ when the anger of God went up against them, and killed of the fattest of them, and smote down the young men of Israel.

⁷ He raises up a poor man out of the dust, and lifts up a needy man from the dunghill,

¹⁶ Therefore will the Lord, LORD of hosts, send among his fat ones, leanness, and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.

¹⁹ Thy dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye who dwell in the dust, for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.

⁴ And thou shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground. And thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as of he who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground. And thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

²³ By myself I have sworn, the word has gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue will confess to God.

³ And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. ⁴ Lift up thine eyes round about, and see. They all gather themselves together. They come to thee. Thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms. ⁵ Then thou shall see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged, because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to thee. The wealth of the nations shall come to thee.

¹⁶ Thou shall also suck the milk of the nations, and shall suck the breast of kings. And thou shall know that I, LORD, am thy Savior, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

⁹ It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou are against me, against thy help.

³⁶ He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even though he died, he will live. ²⁶ And every man who lives and believes in me will, no, not die, into the age. Do thou believe this?

¹⁰ But why do thou criticize thy brother? Or also why do thou disdain thy brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it is written, I live, says the Lord, that every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will confess to God. ¹² So then each of us will give account about himself to God.

¹⁰ so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of the heavenly, and the earthly, and the sub-earthly,

¹² And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the one of life. And the dead were judged from the things that were written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead in them. And they were judged, each according to their works. ¹⁴ And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if any man was found not written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

²⁴ And the nations will walk by the light of it. And the kings of the earth bring to them the splendor and worth of the nations into it.

⁵ There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

⁶ This is the generation of those who seek after him, who seek thy face, even Jacob. Selah.

¹⁵ If I had said, I will speak thus, behold, I would have dealt treacherously with the generation of thy sons.

⁶ LORD will count when he writes up the peoples: This man was born there. Selah.

²⁸ The sons of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

¹⁰ Yet it pleased LORD to bruise him. He has put him to grief. When thou shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of LORD shall prosper in his hand.

⁹ And think not to say within yourselves, We have a father, Abraham. For I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

²⁶ For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁷ For as many as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ. ²⁸ There is no Jew nor Greek, there is no bondman nor freeman, there is no male and female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ And if ye are Christ's, then ye are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.

¹³ And again, I will be a man who has trusted in him. And again, Behold, I and the children that God has given me.

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.

⁹ I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly. Lo, I will not refrain my lips. O LORD, thou know.

⁶ that the generation to come might know, even the sons who should be born, who should arise and tell to their sons,

¹⁸ This shall be written for the generation to come. And a people which shall be created shall praise LORD.

⁴ One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. ⁵ I will meditate on the glorious majesty of thine honor, and of thy wondrous works. ⁶ And men shall speak of the might of thy fearful acts, and I will declare thy greatness. ⁷ They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

³ For I will pour water upon him who is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring. ⁴ And they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses. ⁵ One shall say, I am LORD's, and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and another shall subscribe with his hand to LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

²¹ Then thou shall say in thy heart, Who has begotten these for me, seeing I have been bereaved of my sons, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? And who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone, these, where were they? ²² Thus says the lord LORD: Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples. And they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. ²³ And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers. They shall bow down to thee with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet. And thou shall know that I am LORD, and those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.

¹ Sing, O barren, thou who did not bear. Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou who did not travail with child. For more are the sons of the desolate than the sons of the married woman, says LORD.

⁴ Lift up thine eyes round about, and see. They all gather themselves together. They come to thee. Thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms.

⁷ Before she travailed, she brought forth. Before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child. ⁸ Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her sons. ⁹ Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says LORD. Shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb? says thy God.

¹⁷ For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith for faith, just as it is written, And the righteous man will live from faith.

²¹ But now a righteousness of God has been manifested independent of law, being witnessed by the law and the prophets. ²² And the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ is for all and upon all those who believe, for there is no distinction. ²³ For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, ²⁴ being made righteous freely by his grace, through the redemption in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God set forth an expiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, for proof of his justice, because of the passing over of the sins that have formerly occurred

¹⁹ For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous. ²⁰ And the law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace was more abundant, ²¹ so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign, through righteousness, for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²¹ For the man who knew no sin was made sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
