All who were numbered of the camps according to their armies were six hundred three thousand and five hundred and fifty. ³³ But the Levites were not numbered among the sons of Israel, as LORD commanded Moses. ³⁴ Thus did the sons of Israel. According to all that LORD commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards, and so they set forward, everyone by their families, according to their fathers' houses.

²⁴ Behold, the people rise up as a lioness, and as a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.

⁹ He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a lioness. Who shall rouse him up? He who blesses thee is blessed, And he who curses thee is cursed.

⁴⁹ LORD will bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies, a nation whose tongue thou shall not understand,

²³ Saul and Jonathan, men who were loved and pleasant, undivided; comely in their lives, and undivided in their death; swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

² For the transgression of a land many are the rulers of it. But by men of understanding and knowledge the state shall be prolonged.

³¹ But those who wait for LORD shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run, and not be weary. They shall walk, and not faint.

⁸ And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. And those four had their faces and their wings thus:

¹⁰ As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man. And those four had the face of a lion on the right side, and those four had the face of an ox on the left side, those four also had the face of an eagle.

²¹ Each one had four faces, and each one four wings. And the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

⁴ The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I beheld till the wings of it were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

⁴ Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from there, says LORD.

⁹ For it is written in the law of Moses thou shall not muzzle an ox threshing grain. Is God concerned about oxen, ¹⁰ or does he speak altogether for our sake? For our sake, for it was written, He who plows ought to plow with hope, and he who threshes with his hope, with hope to share.

²⁰ Brothers, become not children in your thoughts. Instead be childlike in wickedness, but in your thoughts become mature.

⁶ And before the throne was like a glassy sea similar to crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and all around the throne, were four living creatures containing eyes in front and back.

¹ And when Abram was ninety-nine years old, LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am God Almighty, walk before me, and be thou perfect.

¹¹ Who is like thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

¹ He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

² Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings, with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. ³ And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is LORD of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory. ⁴ And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who cried, and the house was filled with vapor. ⁵ Then I said, Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the King, LORD of hosts. ⁶ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. ⁷ And he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this has touched thy lips, and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven. ⁸ And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Lo, send me. ⁹ And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but do not understand, and see ye indeed, but do not perceive. ¹⁰ Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn, and be healed. ¹¹ Then I said, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste, ¹² and LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land. ¹³ And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up. As a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled, so the holy seed is the stock of it.

⁶ Wail ye, for the day of LORD is at hand. It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.

¹ For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.

⁶ I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem. They shall never keep silent day nor night. Ye who are LORD's reminders, take ye no rest, ⁷ and give him no rest, till he establishes, and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

⁶ And each one had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.

²¹ Each one had four faces, and each one four wings. And the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. ²² And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They went each one straight forward.

¹⁵ Alas for the day! For the day of LORD is at hand, and it shall come as destruction from the Almighty.

³¹ Therefore watch ye, remembering that for three years, night and day, I did not cease warning each one with tears.

¹⁸ and will be for a Father to you, and ye will be for sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.

⁹ For ye remember, brothers, our labor and the hardship. For, laboring night and day in order not to burden any of you, we preached to you the good news of God.

⁸ nor did we eat bread gratis from any man, but in labor and toil, working night and day in order not to burden any of you. ⁹ Not because we have no right, but that we might give ourselves an example to you, in order to imitate us.

¹⁶ Hold firm to thyself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this thou will save both thyself and those who hear thee.

² preach the word, stand ready in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

⁸ Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today, and into the ages.

⁸ I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord, the God who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.

⁷ And to the agent of the congregation in Philadelphia write, These things says the Holy, the True, he who has the key of David, who opens, and none will shut it except he who opens, and none will open:

⁴ And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and upon the thrones were sitting twenty-four elders clothed in white garments, and golden crowns upon their heads.

¹⁵ Because of this they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. And he who sits on the throne will dwell among them.

¹⁷ saying, We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, who is and was, because thou have taken thy great power and reigned.

¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascends into the ages of ages. And they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and its image, and if any man receives the mark of its name.

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.

⁷ And I heard the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, doing signs that go forth to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together to the battle of that great day of the Almighty God.

¹⁵ And a sharp two-edged sword comes out of his mouth, so that he would smite the nations by it. And he will tend them with a rod of iron. And he treads the winepress of the wine of the wrath of the anger of the Almighty God.

²² And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is the temple of it, and the Lamb.

¹⁸ LORD shall reign forever and ever.

⁸ God reigns over the nations. God sits upon his holy throne.

¹⁴ For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.

³⁴ And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me. And I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever. For his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.

⁷ And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half. And when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

⁸ And here indeed, men who die receive tithes, but there, he who is testified about that he lives.

²⁵ Whereupon he is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, being always alive in order to intercede on their behalf.

¹⁸ and he who lives. And I became dead, and behold, I am living into the ages of the ages. Truly. And I have the keys of death and of Hades.

¹³ And every creature that is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and is in the sea, and things in them all, I heard saying, The blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion is to him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, into the ages of the ages. Truly! ¹⁴ And the four living creatures were saying the Truly. And the elders fell down and worshiped.

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!

⁶ and swore by him who lives into the ages of the ages, who created the heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that time would be no more.

¹¹ Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and on the earth is thine. Thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou are exalted as head above all. ¹² Both riches and honor come of thee, and thou rule over all. And in thy hand is power and might. And in thy hand it is to make great, and to give strength to all. ¹³ Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. ¹⁴ But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? For all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. ¹⁵ For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding. ¹⁶ O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name comes of thy hand, and is all thine own.

²⁰ And David said to all the assembly, Now praise LORD your God. And all the assembly praised LORD, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and did obeisance to LORD, and the king.

³ And all the sons of Israel looked on when the fire came down, and the glory of LORD was upon the house. And they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshiped, and gave thanks to LORD, saying, For he is good. For his loving kindness is forever.

²⁰ Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshiped.

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

¹ Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory. For thy loving kindness, and for thy truth's sake.

¹¹ And having come into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down, they worshiped him. And having opened their treasures, they brought to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

⁹ And he says to him, All these things I give thee, if after falling down, thou will worship me. ¹⁰ Then Jesus says to him, Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only thou shall serve.

⁵² And having worshiping him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am. And his grace for me did not become empty, but I labored more abundantly than them all, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

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.

⁸ And I am John, the man hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the agent showing me these things. ⁹ And he says to me, See thou not. I am thy fellow bondman, and of thy brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

¹¹ for in six days LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

⁴ The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice, a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he.

⁴ I will call upon LORD, who is worthy to be praised. So I shall be saved from my enemies.

²⁸ Ascribe to LORD, ye kindred of the peoples. Ascribe to LORD glory and strength. ²⁹ Ascribe to LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship LORD in holy array.

⁵ Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless LORD your God from everlasting to everlasting. And blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

³ I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my maker.

¹ Ascribe to LORD, O ye sons of the mighty, ascribe to LORD glory and strength. ² Ascribe to LORD the glory due to his name. Worship LORD in holy array.

³⁴ Ascribe ye strength to God. His excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies.

²⁶ Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their host by number. He calls them all by name, by the greatness of his might. And because he is strong in power, not one is lacking.

²⁸ Have thou not known? Have thou not heard? The everlasting God, LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, nor is weary. There is no searching of his understanding.

¹¹ Thus ye shall say to them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

¹⁷ Ah lord LORD! Behold, thou have made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for thee,

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² This man was in the beginning with God. ³ All things came to be through him, and apart from him not even one thing came to be that has come to be.

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,

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands,

³⁶ Because from him, and through him, and for him, are all things. To him is the glory into the ages. Truly.

⁹ and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created all things through Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ Because in him all things were created, things in the heavens and things upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or lordships or principal offices or positions of authority, all things have been created through him, and for him. ¹⁷ And he is before all, and in him all things hold together.

² whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages.

² And I saw a powerful agent proclaiming in a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals of it?

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

⁷ saying in a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. And worship him who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and springs of waters.
