¹ And Korah the son of Izhar the son of Kohath the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron, sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth the son of Reuben, spoke; ² and rose up before Moses, and two hundred and fifty men of the sons of Israel, chiefs of the assembly, chosen counselors, and men of renown. ³ They rose up against Moses and Aaron, and said, Let it be enough for you that all the congregation is holy, and the Lord is among them; and why do you set up yourselves against the congregation of the Lord? ⁴ And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face. ⁵ And he spoke to Korah and all his assembly, saying, God has visited and known those that are His and who are holy, and has brought them to Himself; and whom He has chosen for Himself, He has brought to Himself. ⁶ Therefore do this: take to yourselves censers, Korah and all his company; ⁷ and put fire on them, and put incense on them before the Lord tomorrow; and it shall come to pass that the man whom the Lord has chosen, he shall be holy: let it be enough for you, you sons of Levi. ⁸ And Moses said to Korah, Hearken to me, you sons of Levi. ⁹ Is it a little thing for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, and brought you near to Himself to minister in the services of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the tabernacle to minister for them? ¹⁰ And He has brought you near and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you, and do you seek to be priests also? ¹¹ Thus it is with you and all your congregation which is gathered together against God: and who is Aaron, that you murmur against him? ¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not go up. ¹³ Is it a little thing that you have brought us up to a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, and that you altogether rule over us? ¹⁴ You are a prince, and have you brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and have you given us an inheritance of land and vineyards? Would you have put out the eyes of those men? We will not go up! ¹⁵ And Moses was exceeding indignant, and said to the Lord, Take no heed to their sacrifice; I have not taken away the desire of anyone of them, neither have I hurt anyone of them. ¹⁶ And Moses said to Korah, Sanctify your company, and be ready before the Lord, you and Aaron and they, tomorrow. ¹⁷ And take each man his censer, and you shall put incense upon them, and shall bring each one his censer before the Lord, two hundred and fifty censers, and you and Aaron shall bring each his censer. ¹⁸ And each man took his censer, and they put fire on them, and laid incense on them; and Moses and Aaron stood by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. ¹⁹ And Korah raised up against them all his company by the door of the tabernacle of witness; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation. ²⁰ And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ²¹ Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once. ²² And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of spirits and of all flesh, if one man has sinned, shall the wrath of the Lord be upon the whole congregation? ²³ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁴ Speak to the congregation, saying, Depart from the company of Korah round about. ²⁵ And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and all the elders of Israel went with him. ²⁶ And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Separate yourselves from the tents of these stubborn men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, lest you be consumed with them in all their sin. ²⁷ And they stood aloof from the tent of Korah round about; and Dathan and Abiram went forth and stood by the doors of their tents, and their wives and their children and their store. ²⁸ And Moses said, Hereby shall you know that the Lord has sent me to perform all these works, that I have not done them of myself. ²⁹ If these men shall die according to the death of all men, if also their visitation shall be according to the visitation of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. ³⁰ But if the Lord shall show by a wonder, and the earth shall open her mouth and swallow them up, and their houses, and their tents, and all that belongs to them, and they shall go down alive into Hades, then you shall know that these men have provoked the Lord. ³¹ And when he ceased speaking all these words, the ground split apart beneath them. ³² And the ground opened, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that were with Korah, and their cattle. ³³ And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Hades; and the ground covered them, and they perished from the midst of the congregation. ³⁴ And all Israel round about them fled from the sound of them, for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up, too! ³⁵ And fire went forth from the Lord, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

² And there was no water for the congregation. And they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron. ³ And the people reviled Moses, saying, If only we had died in the destruction of our brethren before the Lord! ⁴ And why have you brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, to kill us and our cattle? ⁵ And why is this? You have brought us up out of Egypt, that we should come into this evil place; a place where there is no sowing, neither figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there water to drink.

⁵ And the people spoke against God and against Moses, saying, Why is this? Have you brought us out of Egypt to slay us in the wilderness? For there is not bread nor water, and our soul loathes this light bread.

² And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.

¹⁹ And we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Kadesh Barnea. ²⁰ And I said to you, You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you. ²¹ Behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you; go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid. ²² And you all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter. ²³ And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men; one man from each tribe. ²⁴ And they turned, and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the Valley of the Cluster, and surveyed it. ²⁵ And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us. ²⁶ Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God. ²⁷ And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us. ²⁸ Where do we go up? And your brethren drew away your heart, saying, It is a great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and there are cities great and walled up to heaven. Moreover we saw the sons of the giants there.

²⁸ Where do we go up? And your brethren drew away your heart, saying, It is a great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and there are cities great and walled up to heaven. Moreover we saw the sons of the giants there. ²⁹ And I said to you, Fear not, neither be afraid of them; ³⁰ the Lord your God, who goes before your face, He shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that He did for you in the land of Egypt;

³⁰ the Lord your God, who goes before your face, He shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that He did for you in the land of Egypt; ³¹ and in this wilderness which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord your God will bear you like a son, as if any man should carry his son, through all the way which you have gone, until you came to this place. ³² And in this matter you believed not the Lord our God, ³³ who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in the fire by night, showing you the way by which you should go, and a cloud by day.

¹¹ These also shall be accounted as Rephaim, like the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim. ¹² And the Horites dwelt in Seir before, and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and utterly consumed them from before them; and they dwelt in their place, as Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the Lord gave to them.

²¹ A great nation and populous, and mightier than you, as also the Anakim; yet the Lord destroyed them from before them, and they inherited their land, and they dwelt there instead of them until this day.

¹⁸ And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God has given you this land by lot: arm yourselves, everyone that is powerful, and go before your brethren the children of Israel.

¹⁰ even the things that happened in the day in which you stood before the Lord our God in Horeb in the day of the assembly; for the Lord said to me, Gather the people to Me, and let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days which they live upon the earth, and they shall teach their sons. ¹¹ And you drew near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire up to heaven: there was darkness, blackness, and a tempest.

¹¹ And you drew near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire up to heaven: there was darkness, blackness, and a tempest. ¹² And the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire a voice of words, which you heard: and you saw no likeness, only you heard a voice. ¹³ And He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to keep, even the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tables of stone. ¹⁴ And the Lord commanded me at that time, to teach you statutes and judgments, that you should do them on the land, into which you go to inherit it. ¹⁵ And take careful heed to your hearts, for you saw no similitude in the day in which the Lord spoke to you in Horeb in the mountain out of the midst of the fire; ¹⁶ lest you transgress, and make to yourselves a carved image, any kind of figure, the likeness of male or female,

²⁰ But God took you, and led you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to Him a people of inheritance, as it is this day.

²⁴ For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

³⁴ Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation out of the midst of another nation by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great sights, according to all the things which the Lord our God did in Egypt in your sight?

³⁸ to destroy nations greater and stronger than you before your face, to bring you in, to give you their land to inherit, as you have this day.

⁶ I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ⁷ You shall have no other gods before Me. ⁸ You shall not make to yourself an image, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth below, and whatever are in the waters under the earth. ⁹ You shall not bow down to them, nor shall you serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation to them that hate Me, ¹⁰ and doing mercifully to thousands of them that love Me, and that keep My commandments. ¹¹ You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord your God will certainly not acquit him that takes His name in vain. ¹² Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord your God has commanded you. ¹³ Six days you shall work, and you shall do all your works; ¹⁴ but on the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God: you shall do in it no work, neither you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, your ox, your donkey, your livestock, nor the stranger that sojourns in the midst of you; that your male servant may rest, and your maid and your ox, as well as you. ¹⁵ And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day, and to sanctify it. ¹⁶ Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you; that it may be well with you, and that you may live long upon the land, which the Lord your God gives you. ¹⁷ You shall not commit murder. ¹⁸ You shall not commit adultery. ¹⁹ You shall not steal. ²⁰ You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. ²¹ You shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not covet your neighbor's house, nor his field, nor his male servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor any beast of his, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor.

²³ And it came to pass when you heard the voice out of the midst of the fire, for the mountain burned with fire, that you came to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders,

¹ And when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land into which you go, to possess it, and shall remove great nations from before you, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and stronger than you,

¹ And when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land into which you go, to possess it, and shall remove great nations from before you, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and stronger than you, ² and the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, then you shall smite them; you shall utterly destroy them: you shall not make a covenant with them, neither shall you pity them;

⁷ It is not because you are more numerous than all other nations that the Lord has preferred you, and the Lord has chosen you: for you are fewer in number than all other nations. ⁸ But because the Lord has loved you, and He is keeping the oath which He swore to your fathers; the Lord has brought you out with a strong hand, and the Lord has redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

⁸ But because the Lord has loved you, and He is keeping the oath which He swore to your fathers; the Lord has brought you out with a strong hand, and the Lord has redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

¹⁶ And you shall eat all the spoils of the nations which the Lord your God gives you; your eye shall not spare them, and you shall not serve their gods; for this is an offense to you.

²³ And the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, and you shall destroy them with a great destruction, until you have utterly destroyed them. ²⁴ And He shall deliver their kings into your hands, and you shall destroy their name from that place; none shall stand up in opposition before you, until you have utterly destroyed them.

²⁴ And He shall deliver their kings into your hands, and you shall destroy their name from that place; none shall stand up in opposition before you, until you have utterly destroyed them.

² And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you in the wilderness, that He might afflict you, and try you, and that the things in your heart might be made manifest, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

¹⁷ Lest you should say in your heart, My strength, and the power of my own hand have worked for me this great wealth!

³ And you shall know today, that the Lord your God, He shall go before your face; He is a consuming fire; He shall destroy them, and He shall turn them back before you, and shall destroy them quickly, as the Lord had said to you. ⁴ Speak not in your heart, when the Lord your God has destroyed these nations before your face, saying, For my righteousness the Lord brought me in to inherit this good land. ⁵ Not for your righteousness, nor for the holiness of your heart, do you go in to inherit their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations, the Lord shall destroy them from before you, and that He may establish the covenant, which the Lord swore to our fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. ⁶ And you shall know this day, that it is not for your righteousnesses that the Lord your God gives to you this good land to inherit, for you are a stiff-necked people.

⁶ And you shall know this day, that it is not for your righteousnesses that the Lord your God gives to you this good land to inherit, for you are a stiff-necked people. ⁷ Remember, forget not, how much you provoked the Lord your God in the wilderness; from the day that you came forth out of Egypt, even till you came into this place, you continued to be disobedient toward the Lord. ⁸ Also in Horeb you provoked the Lord, and the Lord was angry with you, to destroy you; ⁹ when I went up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant, which the Lord made with you, and I was in the mountain forty days and forty nights, I ate no bread and drank no water.

¹³ And the Lord spoke to me, saying, I have spoken to you once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

¹⁵ And I turned and went down from the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to heaven; and the two tablets of the testimonies were in my two hands. ¹⁶ And when I saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made for yourselves a molten image, and had gone astray out of the way, which the Lord commanded you to keep;

¹⁸ And I made my petition before the Lord as also at the first forty days and forty nights: I ate no bread and drank no water, on account of all your sins which you sinned in doing evil before the Lord God, to provoke Him.

²⁶ And I prayed to God, and said, O Lord, King of gods, destroy not Your people and Your inheritance, whom You redeemed, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with Your great power, and with Your strong hand, and with Your outstretched arm.

²⁹ And these are Your people and Your portion, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with Your great strength, and with Your mighty hand, and with Your outstretched arm.

⁴ And He wrote upon the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments, which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire, and the Lord gave them to me.

¹⁰ And I remained in the mountain for forty days and forty nights. And the Lord heard me at that time also, and the Lord would not destroy you.

¹⁶ Therefore you shall circumcise the hardness of your heart, and you shall not stiffen your neck.

²³ then the Lord shall cast out all these nations before you, and you shall inherit great nations stronger than yourselves.

³¹ For you are passing over the Jordan, to go in and inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives you to inherit always, and you shall dwell in it.

³¹ You shall not do so to your God; for they have sacrificed to their gods the abominations of the Lord which He hates, for they burn their sons and their daughters in fire to their gods.

⁵ And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream shall die; for he has spoken to make you err from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed you from bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in. So shall you abolish the evil from among you.

¹⁵ And you shall remember that you also were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I charge you to do this thing.

⁹ And when you shall have entered into the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations. ¹⁰ There shall not be found in you one who purges his son or his daughter with fire, or one who uses divination, or one who deals with omens, or a sorcerer ¹¹ employing an incantation, or one who has in him a divining spirit, or an observer of signs who questions the dead. ¹² For everyone that does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God; for because of these abominations the Lord shall destroy them from before your face. ¹³ You shall be perfect before the Lord your God. ¹⁴ For all these nations whose land you shall inherit, they will listen to omens and divinations; but the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so.

¹⁶ according to all the things which you desired from the Lord your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, We will not again hear the voice of the Lord your God, and we will not anymore see this great fire, lest we die.

⁴ For it is the Lord your God who advances with you, to fight with you against your enemies, and to save you.

⁸ Be merciful to Your people Israel, O Lord, whom You have redeemed, that innocent blood may not be charged on Your people Israel; and atonement shall be provided on their behalf for the blood.

⁷ and we cried to the Lord our God, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our humiliation, and our labor, and our affliction. ⁸ And the Lord brought us out of Egypt Himself with His great strength, and His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm, and with great visions, and with signs, and with wonders.

² And it shall come to pass in the day when you shall cross over the Jordan into the land which the Lord your God gives you, that you shall set up for yourself great stones, and shall plaster them with plaster.

²⁰ God shall by no means be willing to pardon him, but then the wrath of the Lord and His jealousy shall flame out against that man; and all the curses of this covenant shall attach themselves to him, which are written in this book, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.

³ The Lord your God who goes before you, He shall destroy these nations before you, and you shall inherit them: and it shall be Joshua that goes before your face, as the Lord has spoken. ⁴ And the Lord your God shall do to them as He did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, and to their land, as He destroyed them. ⁵ And the Lord has delivered them to you; and you shall do to them, as I commanded you. ⁶ Be courageous and strong; fear not, neither be cowardly neither be afraid before them; for it is the Lord your God that advances with you in the midst of you, neither will He by any means forsake you, nor desert you.

²⁷ For I know your provocation, and your stiff neck; for yet during my life with you at this day, you have been provoking in your conduct toward God: how shall you not also be so after my death?

²⁹ For I know that after my death you will utterly transgress, and turn aside out of the way which I have commanded you; and evils shall come upon you in the latter days, because you will do evil before the Lord, to provoke Him to anger by the works of your hands.

⁵ They have sinned, not pleasing Him; spotted children, a crooked and perverse generation.

⁵ They have sinned, not pleasing Him; spotted children, a crooked and perverse generation. ⁶ Do you thus recompense the Lord? O foolish and unwise people. Did not He Himself, your Father, purchase you, and make you, and form you?

⁹ And His people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line of His inheritance.

¹¹ Go into the midst of the camp of the people, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for yet three days and you shall go over this Jordan, entering in to take possession of the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives to you.

⁶ And Joshua said to the priests, Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and go before the people. And the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and went before the people.

¹¹ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over the Jordan.

¹⁴ And the people removed from their tents to cross over the Jordan, and the priests bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord before the people.

¹⁶ then the waters that came down from above stopped; there stood one solid heap very far off, as far as the region of Zaretan, and the lower part came down to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, till it completely failed; and the people stood opposite Jericho.

⁵ said to them, Advance before me in the presence of the Lord into the midst of the Jordan, and each having taken up a stone from there, let him carry it on his shoulders, according to the number of the twelve tribes of Israel,

¹⁹ And the people went up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month; and the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal in the region eastward from Jericho.

¹⁷ for they went whoring after other gods, and worshipped them; and they turned quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked to hearken to the words of the Lord; they did not do so.

²⁵ Let not my lord take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he — Nabal is his name, and folly is with him! But I, your maidservant, did not see the servants of my lord whom you sent.

²³ And what other nation in the earth is like Your people Israel? Whereas God was his guide, to redeem for Himself a people, to make for Himself a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that You should cast out nations and their tabernacles from the presence of Your people, whom You redeemed for Yourself out of Egypt?

¹⁶ And David inquired of God concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.

¹⁵ and he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel today, who spoke by His mouth concerning David my father, and has fulfilled it with his hands, saying,

⁵¹ for they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt, out of the midst of the iron furnace.

⁸ And the man of God said to the king, If you should give me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place; for thus the Lord charged me by His word, saying, ⁹ Eat no bread, and drink no water, and return not by the way in which you came.

⁸ And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food for forty days and forty nights, to Mount Horeb.

²² And he said, You shall not kill them, unless you would kill those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow--set bread and water before them, and let them eat and drink, and depart to their master.

¹⁴ But they hearkened not, and made their neck harder than the neck of their fathers.

⁸ And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers did; give glory to the Lord God, and enter into His sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever, and serve the Lord your God, and He shall turn away His fierce anger from you.

¹³ in that he rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, which he adjured him by God not to do; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart, so as not to return to the Lord God of Israel.

² And Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and some men of Judah; and I asked them concerning those that had escaped, who had been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. ³ And they said to me, The remnant, even those that are left of the captivity, are there in the land, in great distress and reproach; and the walls of Jerusalem are thrown down, and its gates are burned with fire. ⁴ And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for several days, and continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven. ⁵ And I said, I pray, O Lord God of heaven, the mighty One, the great and terrible, keeping Your covenant and mercy to them that love Him, and to those that keep His commandments. ⁶ Let now Your ear be attentive, and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You at this time, this day both day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and make confession for the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against You — both I and the house of my father have sinned. ⁷ We have altogether broken our covenant with You, and we have not kept the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which You commanded Your servant Moses.

¹⁰ Now they are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your mighty hand.

¹⁶ But they and our fathers behaved proudly, and hardened their neck, and did not hearken to Your commandments, ¹⁷ and refused to listen, and remembered not Your wonders which You worked among them. And they hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But You, O God, are merciful and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and You did not forsake them. ¹⁸ And still farther they even made for themselves a molded calf, and said, These are the gods that brought us up out of Egypt: and they worked great provocations.

¹⁰ And if He should overthrow all things, who will say to Him, What have You done?

⁵ You have rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; You have blotted out their name forever, even forever and ever.

⁷ Hear, My people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you; I am God, your God.

¹ A Psalm of instruction, of Asaph. Why have You rejected us, O God, forever? Why has Your wrath been kindled against the sheep of Your pasture? ² Remember Your congregation which You have purchased from the beginning; You ransomed the rod of Your inheritance, this Mount Zion where You have dwelt.

¹⁵ You have redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph, with Your outstretched arm. Pause.

⁸ That they should not be as their fathers, a perverse and provoking generation; a generation which set not its heart aright, and its spirit was not steadfast with God.

⁸ That they should not be as their fathers, a perverse and provoking generation; a generation which set not its heart aright, and its spirit was not steadfast with God. ⁹ The children of Ephraim, bending and shooting with the bow, turned back in the day of battle. ¹⁰ They kept not the covenant of God, and would not walk in His law. ¹¹ And they forgot His benefits, and His miracles which He had shown them; ¹² the miracles which He did before their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the plain of Zoan. ¹³ He divided the sea, and led them through; He made the waters to stand as in a bottle. ¹⁴ And He guided them with a cloud by day, and all the night with a light of fire. ¹⁵ He split a rock in the wilderness, and made them drink as in a great deep. ¹⁶ And He brought water out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down as rivers. ¹⁷ And they sinned yet more against Him; they provoked the Most High in the wilderness. ¹⁸ And they tempted God in their hearts, in asking meat for the desire of their souls. ¹⁹ They spoke also against God, and said, Will God be able to prepare a table in the wilderness? ²⁰ Forasmuch as He struck the rock, and the waters flowed, and the torrents ran abundantly; will He be able also to give bread, or prepare a table for His people? ²¹ Therefore the Lord heard, and was provoked: and fire was kindled in Jacob, and wrath went up against Israel. ²² Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in His salvation.

²² Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in His salvation. ²³ Yet He commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, ²⁴ and rained upon them manna to eat, and gave them the bread of heaven. ²⁵ Man ate angels' bread; He sent them provision to the full. ²⁶ He removed the south wind from heaven; and by His might He brought in the south west wind. ²⁷ And He rained upon them flesh like dust, and feathered birds like the sand on the seashore. ²⁸ And they fell into the midst of their camp, round about their tents. ²⁹ So they ate, and were completely filled; and He gave them their desire. ³⁰ They were not disappointed of their desire, but when their food was yet in their mouth, ³¹ then the indignation of God rose up against them, and slew the fattest of them, and overthrew the choice men of Israel. ³² In the midst of all this they sinned yet more, and believed not His miracles. ³³ And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years with anxiety. ³⁴ When He slew them, they sought Him; and they returned and sought diligently after God. ³⁵ And they remembered that God was their Helper, and the Most High God was their Redeemer. ³⁶ Yet they loved Him only with their mouth, and lied to Him with their tongue. ³⁷ For their heart was not right with Him, neither were they steadfast in His covenant. ³⁸ But He is compassionate, and will forgive their sins, and will not destroy them; yea, He will frequently turn away His wrath, and will not kindle all His anger. ³⁹ And He remembered that they are flesh; a wind that passes away, and returns not. ⁴⁰ How often did they provoke Him in the wilderness, and anger Him in a dry land! ⁴¹ Yea, they turned back, and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel. ⁴² They remembered not His hand, the day in which He delivered them from the hand of the oppressor. ⁴³ How He had worked His signs in Egypt, and His wonders in the field of Zoan; ⁴⁴ and had changed their rivers into blood, and their streams, that they should not drink. ⁴⁵ He sent against them the dog-fly, and it devoured them; and the frog, and it spoiled them. ⁴⁶ And He gave their fruit to the canker worm, and their labors to the locust. ⁴⁷ He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamores with frost. ⁴⁸ And He gave up their cattle to hail, and their substance to the fire. ⁴⁹ He sent out against them the fury of His anger, wrath, and indignation, and affliction, a message by evil angels. ⁵⁰ He made a way for His wrath; He spared not their souls from death, but consigned their cattle to death; ⁵¹ and He struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt; the firstfruits of their labors in the tents of Ham. ⁵² And He removed His people like sheep; He led them as a flock in the wilderness. ⁵³ And He guided them with hope, and they feared not: but the sea covered their enemies. ⁵⁴ And He brought them in to the mountain of His sanctuary, this mountain which His right hand had purchased. ⁵⁵ And He cast out the nations from before them, and made them to inherit by a line of inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. ⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and provoked the Most High God, and kept not His testimonies. ⁵⁷ And they turned back, and broke covenant, even as also their fathers; they became like a crooked bow.

⁵⁷ And they turned back, and broke covenant, even as also their fathers; they became like a crooked bow. ⁵⁸ And they provoked Him with their high places, and moved Him to jealousy with their graven images. ⁵⁹ God heard and lightly regarded them, and greatly despised Israel. ⁶⁰ And He rejected the tabernacle of Shiloh, His tent where He dwelt among men. ⁶¹ And He gave their strength into captivity, and their beauty into the enemy's hand. ⁶² And He gave His people to the sword; and disdained His inheritance. ⁶³ Fire devoured their young men; and their virgins mourned not. ⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows shall not be wept for. ⁶⁵ So the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, and as a mighty man who has been heated with wine. ⁶⁶ And He beat back His enemies; He brought on them a perpetual reproach. ⁶⁷ And He rejected the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim; ⁶⁸ but chose the tribe of Judah, the Mount Zion which He loved. ⁶⁹ And He built His sanctuary as the place of unicorns; He founded it forever on the earth. ⁷⁰ He chose David also His servant, and took him up from the flocks of sheep. ⁷¹ He took him from following the ewes great with young, to be the shepherd of Jacob His servant, and Israel His inheritance. ⁷² So he tended them in the innocence of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

⁷ For He is our God; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. ⁸ Today, if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, according to the day of trial in the wilderness; ⁹ where your fathers tested Me, and tried Me, and saw My works. ¹⁰ Forty years was I grieved with this generation, and said, They do always err in their heart, and they have not known My ways. ¹¹ So I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest.

⁶ Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His name; they called upon the Lord, and He heard them.

³ Know that the Lord, He is God; He made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

¹⁹ And they made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the graven image, ²⁰ and they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that feeds on grass. ²¹ They forgot God that saved them, who had done great deeds in Egypt; ²² wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things at the Red Sea. ²³ So He said that He would have destroyed them, had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, to turn Him away from the fierceness of His anger, so that He should not destroy them. ²⁴ Moreover they despised the desirable land, and did not believe His word. ²⁵ And they murmured in their tents; they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.

² Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

¹³ Let his children be given up to utter destruction; in one generation let his name be blotted out.

⁷ The memory of the just is praised, but the name of the ungodly man is extinguished.

¹² A righteous man understands the hearts of the ungodly, and despises the ungodly for their wickedness.

¹⁸ And they shall hide all idols made with hands, ¹⁹ having carried them into the caves, and into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of His might, when He shall arise to strike mightily the earth. ²⁰ For in that day a man shall cast forth his silver and gold abominations, which they made, in order to worship vanities and bats; ²¹ to enter into the caverns of the solid rock, and into the clefts of the rocks, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of His might, when He shall arise to strike mightily the earth.

⁴ There is no woman that has not taken hold of it; who will set me to watch stubble in the field? Because of this enemy I have set her aside; therefore on this account the Lord has done all that He appointed.

²² And you shall pollute the plated idols, and you shall grind to powder the gilt ones, and shall scatter them as the water of a removed woman, and you shall thrust them forth as dung.

²⁷ Behold, the name of the Lord comes after a long time, burning wrath; the word of His lips is with glory, a word full of anger, and the anger of His wrath shall devour like fire.

³⁰ And the Lord shall make His glorious voice to be heard, and the wrath of His outstretched arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame; He shall lighten terribly, and His wrath shall be as water and violent hail.

³³ For you shall be required before your time; has it been prepared for you also to reign? No, God has prepared for you a deep trench, wood piled, fire and much wood; the wrath of the Lord shall be as a trench kindled with sulphur.

⁷ For in that day men shall renounce their silver idols and their golden idols, which their hands have made.

¹⁴ The sinners in Zion have departed; trembling shall seize the ungodly. Who will tell you that a fire is kindled? Who will tell you of the eternal place?

¹⁰ Fear not; for I am with you; wander not; for I am your God, who has strengthened you; and I have helped you, and have established you with My righteous right hand. ¹¹ Behold, all your adversaries shall be ashamed and confounded; for they shall be as if they were not; and all your opponents shall perish. ¹² You shall seek them, and you shall not find the men who shall insolently rage against you; for they shall be as if they were not, and they that war against you shall not be. ¹³ For I am your God, who holds your right hand, who says to you, ¹⁴ Fear not, Jacob, and you Israel few in number; I have helped you, says your God, He that redeems you, O Israel. ¹⁵ Behold, I have made you as new saw-shaped threshing wheels of a wagon; and you shall thresh the mountains, and beat the hills to powder, and make them as chaff; ¹⁶ and you shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and a tempest shall scatter them; but you shall rejoice in the holy ones of Israel.

²⁴ Neither have you purchased for Me victims for silver, neither have I desired the fat of your sacrifices; but you stood before Me in your sins, and in your iniquities. ²⁵ I, even I, am He that blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and your sins; and I will remember them no more.

²³ Rejoice, you heavens; for God has had mercy upon Israel; sound the trumpet, you foundations of the earth; you mountains, shout with joy, you hills, and all the trees therein; for God has redeemed Jacob, and Israel shall be glorified.

³ and they that have proceeded out of My mouth, and it became well known; I wrought suddenly, and the events came to pass. ⁴ I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your forehead bronze.

⁶ And on your walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all night, who shall never cease making mention of the Lord. ⁷ For there is none like You, when He shall have established, and made Jerusalem a praise on the earth.

¹⁰ But they disobeyed, and provoked His Holy Spirit; so He turned to be an enemy, He Himself contended against them.

¹⁹ We have become as at the beginning, when You did not rule over us, and Your name was not called upon us.

¹¹ Is My house, which is called by My name, a den of robbers in your eyes? And behold, I have seen it, says the Lord.

²⁷ your adultery also, and your neighing, and the looseness of your fornication. On the hills and in the fields I have seen your abominations. Woe to you, O Jerusalem, for you have not been purified so as to follow Me; how long yet shall it be?

¹¹ And the Lord said to me, Pray not for this people, for their good:

²¹ Refrain for Your name's sake, destroy not the throne of Your glory. Remember, break not Your covenant with us.

¹ And the Lord said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before My face, My soul could not be toward them: dismiss this people, and let them go forth.

³¹ Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah. ³² Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took hold of their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; for they abode not in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.

²⁰ In those days, and at that time, they shall seek for the iniquity of Israel, and there shall be none; and for the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; for I will be merciful to them that are left

⁴ And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord.

⁶¹ Then you shall remember your way, and shall be utterly dishonored when you receive your elder sisters with your younger ones, and I will give them to you for building up, but not by your covenant. ⁶² And I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the Lord, ⁶³ that you may remember, and be ashamed, and may no more be able to open your mouth for your shame, when I am reconciled to you for all that you have done, says the Lord.

¹⁴ But I acted so that My name should not be at all profaned before the Gentiles, before whose eyes I brought them out.

⁴³ And you shall there remember your ways, and your devices in which you defiled yourselves; and you shall bewail yourselves for all your wickedness. ⁴⁴ And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have done thus to you, that My name may not be profaned in your evil ways, and in your corrupt devices, says the Lord.

²² Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord: I do not do this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, among whom you went.

³¹ And you shall remember your evil ways and your practices that were not good, and you shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your abominations. ³² Not for your sakes do I do this, says the Lord God, as it is known to you; be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

⁴ And I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward; and no beast could stand before him, and there was none that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and became great.

¹⁶ And he that comes in against him shall do according to his will, and there is no one to stand before him; and he shall stand in the land of beauty, and it shall be consumed by his hand.

⁴ What shall I do unto you, Ephraim? What shall I do to you, Judah? For your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.

¹⁰ I have seen horrible things there, even the fornication of Ephraim. Israel and Judah are defiled;

¹¹ Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, his beloved altars have become sins to him.

² And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? For he is small in number. ³ Relent, O Lord, of this. And this shall not be, says the Lord.

⁵ Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray: who shall raise up Jacob? For he is small in number. Relent, O Lord, of this. ⁶ This also shall not be, says the Lord.

¹³ they have broken through, and passed the gate, and gone out by it, and their king has gone out before them, and the Lord shall lead them.

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

¹⁸ Who is a God like You, canceling iniquities, and passing over the sins of the remnant of His inheritance? And He has not kept His anger for a testimony, for He delights in mercy. ¹⁹ He will return and have mercy upon us; He will sink our iniquities, and they shall be cast into the depth of the sea, even all our sins. ²⁰ He shall give blessings truly to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers, according to the former days.

⁵ The mountains quake at Him, and the hills are shaken, and the earth recoils at His presence, even the world, and all that dwell in it. ⁶ Who shall stand before His anger? And who shall withstand in the anger of His wrath? His wrath brings to nought kingdoms, and the rocks are thrown down by Him.

⁶ Who shall stand before His anger? And who shall withstand in the anger of His wrath? His wrath brings to nought kingdoms, and the rocks are thrown down by Him.

¹¹ But they refused to attend, and madly turned their back, and made their ears heavy, so that they should not hear. ¹² And they made their heart disobedient, so as not to hearken to My law, and the words which the Lord Almighty sent forth by His Spirit by the former prophets: so there was great wrath from the Lord Almighty.

⁵ And I will draw near to you in judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the witches, and against the adulteresses, and against them that swear falsely by My name, and against them that keep back the hireling's wages, and them that oppress the widow, and afflict orphans, and that wrest the judgment of the stranger, and do not fear Me, says the Lord Almighty.

² And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.

²⁸ But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

¹⁰ And having summoned the crowd, He said to them, "Hear and understand:

¹⁴ And having summoned all the crowd, He said to them, "Hear Me, all of you and understand:

⁵⁴ He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy, ⁵⁵ As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever."

⁷ and he will answer from within and say, 'Do not trouble me; the door has already been shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give to you'? ⁸ I say to you, even if he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, yet on account of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs. ⁹ "So I say to you, ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ¹⁰ For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

²⁰ But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

⁴ "And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing further they can do. ⁵ But I will show you whom you should fear: fear Him who after He kills, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!

¹ Then He spoke a parable to them, that one must always pray and not lose heart, ² saying: "A certain judge was in a certain city, who did not fear God nor have regard for men. ³ Now there was a widow in that city; and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Give justice to me against my adversary.' ⁴ And he did not want to for a time; but afterward he said within himself, 'although I do not fear God, nor have regard for man, ⁵ yet because this widow bothers me I will give justice to her, lest she wear me out by forever coming to me.' " ⁶ Then the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge said. ⁷ And God, shall He not execute justice for His own elect, who cry out day and night to Him, and yet He is patient with them? ⁸ I tell you that He will execute justice for them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"

²⁵ You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your offspring all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'

⁴⁰ saying to Aaron, 'Make for us gods who will go before us; as for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.' ⁴¹ And they made a calf in those days, offered a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands.

⁵¹ "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, you also do.

³² And we proclaim to you the good news of the promise which was made to the fathers, ³³ that God has fulfilled this promise for us to their children, when He raised up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm: 'You are My Son, today I have begotten You.'

²⁰ But the law came in alongside, so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace superabounded, ²¹ so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

⁶ And if by grace, it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

²⁰ Well said. By unbelief they were broken off, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear.

²⁸ As regards to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but as regards to election, they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.

⁸ Now I say that Christ Jesus has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers,

⁴ For I am conscious of nothing, but I have not been justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.

⁷ For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? And if you did indeed receive what you have, why do you boast as though you did not receive it?

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

³ being made known that you are the letter of Christ, which was ministered by us, having been written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not in tablets of stone but in tablets of flesh, namely in hearts.

⁶ I marvel that you are turning so quickly from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,

²⁴ which things are symbolic. For these are two covenants: one in fact from Mount Sinai, bearing children into slavery, which is Hagar--

⁴ But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, ⁵ even when we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

¹¹ Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made by hands in the flesh--

¹⁷ Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

⁸ in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹³ I, who was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I was shown mercy because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief, ¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord superabounded with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Faithful is this word, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first.

⁹ who having saved us, and having called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time itself,

¹⁴ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people as His own possession, zealous for good works.

³ For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, being deceived, being enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁸ And to whom did He swear that they would not enter into His rest, except to those who disobeyed? ¹⁹ And we see that they were not able to enter on account of unbelief.

² For indeed we have had the gospel preached to us just as those also; but the word which they heard did not profit those, not having been mixed with faith in those having heard it.

²⁶ For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, innocent, undefiled, having been separated from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; ²⁷ who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices beforehand, in behalf of His own sins and then for the people's, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. ²⁸ For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son who has been perfected forever.

⁶ But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises. ⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. ⁸ For finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, ⁹ not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. Because they did not persevere in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD. ¹⁰ For this is the covenant which I shall covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind, and I shall inscribe them upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant which I shall covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind, and I shall inscribe them upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

⁴ having a golden altar, and the ark of the covenant having been overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were a golden jar having the manna, and the rod of Aaron which budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

¹² Not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered once for all into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption.

¹⁸ For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and to a whirlwind,

²⁹ For our God is a consuming fire.

¹⁶ Confess your transgressions to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of the righteous is very powerful. ¹⁷ Elijah was a man of similar nature to us, and with a prayer, he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and it did not rain upon the land for three years and six months.

¹⁰ But these speak blasphemously of those things which they do not know; but what they do know naturally, like unreasoning animals, they are destroyed by these things.

⁵ He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and by no means shall I erase his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

⁹ And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; because You were slain, and You redeemed us to God by Your blood, out of every tribe and language and people and nation;

¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. ¹² His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns, having names written, and a name written that no one knows except Himself. ¹³ And He is clothed in a robe having been dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies in heaven were following Him on white horses, having been dressed in fine linen, white and clean. ¹⁵ And out of His mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, so that with it He might strike the nations. And He will shepherd them with an iron rod. And He treads the winepress of the wine of the wrath of Almighty God. ¹⁶ And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name having been written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
