For the lawe shall come out of Sion, and the word of the Lorde from Ierusalem, ⁴ and shall geue sentence amonge the Heathen, and shall reforme the multitude of people: They shall breake theyr swerdes also in to mattockes, and theyr speares to make sythes.

¹⁰ And he caryed me awaye in the sprete to a great and an hye mountayne, and he shewed me the great cytie holy Ierusalem, descendyng out of heauen from God: ¹¹ hauyng the bryghtnes of God. And her shynynge was lyke vnto a stone moste precious, euen lyke a Iasper cleare as Cristall: ¹² & had walles great & hye, & had .xii. gates & at the gates .xii. Angels: and names written, whych are the names of the .xii. trybes of Israell: ¹³ on the East parte .iii. gates, & on the Northside .iii. gates, & towardes the South .iii. gates, and from the West thre gates, ¹⁴ and the wall of the cytie had .xii. foundacyons: and in them the twelue names of the lambes .xii. apostles. ¹⁵ And he that talked with me, had a golden reade to measure the cytie with all and the gates therof & the wall therof. ¹⁶ And the cytie was bylt .iiii. square, and the length was as large as the bredth, & he measured the cytie with the rede .xii.M. furlonges: and the length & the bredth, and the heyth of it, were equall. ¹⁷ And he measured the wal therof, an .cxliiii. cubytes: the measure that the angell had, was after the measure that man vseth. ¹⁸ And the byldynge of the wal of it was of Iasper. And the cytie was pure golde, lyke vnto cleare glasse, ¹⁹ and the foundacions of the wall of the cytie were garnisshed with al maner of precious stones. The fyrst foundacion was Iaspis, the seconde Saphyre, the thyrde a Calcedony, the fourth an Emeralde, ²⁰ the fyft Sardonix, the syxte Sardeos, the seuenth Crysolite, the eyght Berall, the .ix. a Topas, the tenth a Crusoprasos, the eleuenth a Iacynte, the twelueth an Amathist. ²¹ The twelue gates were twelue pearles, euery gate was of one pearle, and the strete of the cytie was pure golde, as thorow shynynge glasse. ²² And I sawe no temple therin. For the Lorde God almighty and the lambe are the temple of it. ²³ And the cytie hath no nede of the sonne, nether of the mone to lighten it. For the brightnes of God dyd lyght it, and the lambe was the lyght of it. ²⁴ And the people whych are saued shall walke in the lyght of it. And the kinges of the earth shall brynge theyr glory vnto it. ²⁵ And the gates of it are not shut by daye.

The ylandes, that is the Gentils, shall hope in me, and put their trust in myne arme.

⁶ For the dayes shall come when the watchemen vpon the mount of Ephraim shall crye: aryse, let vs go vp vnto Sion to our Lorde God,

In that tyme shall ten men (out of all maner of languages of the Gentyles) take one Iewe by the hemme of hys garment, & saye: we wyll go wt you, for we haue herde, that God is amonge you.

²⁴ For whosoeuer heareth of me these wordes, & doth the same, I will lyken hym vnto a wyse man, which buylt hys house vpon a rock:

⁴⁷ & that repentaunce and remyssyon of synnes shulde be preached in hys name amonge all nacyons, and must begynne at Ierusalem.

¹⁷ If eny man wyll be obedient vnto his wyll, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe.

⁸ but ye shal receaue power after that the holy goost is come vpon you. And ye shalbe witnesses vnto me not onely in Ierusalem, but also in all Iewry and in Samary, and euen vnto the worldes ende.

³³ Then sent I for the immediatly, & thou hast well downe, that thou art come. Nowe therfore are we all here present before God, to heare all thinges that are commaunded vnto the of God.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas wexed bolde, & sayde: it was mete that the worde of God shulde fyrst haue bene preached to you. But seynge ye put it from you, and thynke youre selues vnworthy of euerlastynge lyfe: lo, we turne to the Gentyls: ⁴⁷ For so hath the Lorde commaunded vs. I haue made the a lyght of the Gentyls, that thou be the saluacyon vnto the ende of the worlde. ⁴⁸ Whan the gentyls hearde thys, they were glad and glorifyed the worde of the Lorde, & beleued: euen as many as were ordeyned vnto eternal lyfe.

¹⁸ But I aske: haue they not herde? No dout, their sounde went out into all landes: and their wordes into the endes of the worlde.

²⁵ But who so loketh in the parfayt lawe of libertye, and contynueth therin (yf he be not a forget full hearer, but a doar of the worke) the same shalbe happye in his dede.

¹⁰ The lordes aduersaries shall be destroyed of hym: and out of heauen shall he thunder vpon euery one of them. The lorde shall iudge the endes of the worlde, & shall gyue myght vnto his kynge, and exalte the horne of his anoynted.

⁹ He maketh warres to ceasse in all the worlde: he breaketh the bowe & knappeth the speare in sonder, & burneth the charettes in the fyre.

³ The mountaynes also shall brynge peace, and the lytle hilles righteousnesse vnto the people. ⁴ He shall kepe the symple folke by their ryght, defende the chyldren of the poore, and punish the wronge doer. ⁵ They shall feare the as long as the sonne and mone endureth, from one generacion to another. ⁶ He shall come downe like the rayne into a flese of wolle, euen as the droppes that water the earth. ⁷ In his tyme shall the ryghteous florish, yee, and aboundaunce of peace, so longe as the mone endureth,

⁸ Aryse, O God, and iudge thou the earth, for thou shalt take all Heathen to thine enheritaunce.

¹³ before the Lorde, for he commeth: for he commeth to iudge the earth: and with righteousnesse to iudge the worlde, and the people with his trueth.

⁶ He shall be iudge among the Heathen, he shall fyll the places with deed bodyes, & smyte a sonder the heades ouer diuerse countres.

⁵ And trulie euery batayll that the warryoure accomplissheth, is done wt confused noyse & defylinge ther garmentes wt bloude: But this batayle shall be wt burnynge & consumynge of fyre.

⁷ he shall make no ende to encrease the kyngdome & peace, & shall syt vpon the seate of Dauid & in his kyngdome, to set vp the same, & to stablish it wt equyte and ryghteousnesse, from hence forth for euermore. Thys shall the gelousy of the Lorde of Hostes brynge to passe.

³ and shall make hym feruent in the feare of God. For he shall not geue sentence, after the thyng that shal be brought before his eyes, nether reproue a matter at the fyrst hearing: ⁴ but wt ryghteousnesse shal he iudge the poore, and with holynes shal he refourme the simple of the worlde. He shall smyte the worlde with the rodd of hys mouth, & wt the breath of hys mouth shall he staye the vngodly.

⁶ The wolfe shall dwell with the lambe, and the Leoparde shal lye downe by the goate. Bullockes, Lyons & catell shall kepe company together, so that a lytle chylde shall rule them. ⁷ The kowe & the Bere shall fede together, & their yonge ones shall lye together. The Lyon shall eate strawe lyke the oxe, or the kowe. ⁸ The childe whyle he sucketh, shal haue a desire to the serpentes nest, and when he is weaned, he shall put hys hande into the Cockatryce denne. ⁹ No man shall do euel to another, no man shal destroye another, in all the hyll of my holynes. For the earth shalbe full of the knowledge of the Lord, euen as the see floweth ouer with water.

¹⁸ And my people shall dwell in the ynnes of peace, and in sure dwellinges in safe places of conforte.

¹⁷ For brasse, wyll I geue the golde, and for yron syluer: for wod brasse, & for stones yron. I will torne thyne oppressyon into peace, & thyne exactyons into ryghteousnes. ¹⁸ Uiolence and robbery shall neuer be hearde of in thy lande, nether harme and destruccyon with in thy borders. Thy walles shalbe called health, and thy gates the prayse of God.

¹⁸ Then wyll I make a couenaunt with them, with the wylde beastes, with the foules of the ayre, and wyth euery thynge that crepeth vpon the earth. As for bowe, swerde and battel, I will destroye soch out of the lande, & wyll make them to slepe safely.

¹⁰ Make you sweardes of your plowshares, and speares of youre sycles & sythes. Let the weake man saye: I am stronge.

³ and shall geue sentence amonge the multitude of the Heathen and refourme the people of farre countrees: so that of theyr sweardes they shall make plowshares, & sythes of theyr speares. One people shall not lyft vp a sweard agaynst another, yee, they shal nomore learne to fyght:

¹⁰ I will rote out the charrettes from Ephraim, & the horse from Ierusalem, the batel bowes shalbe destroyed. He shall geue the doctrine of peace vnto the Heathen, & his dominyon shalbe from the one see to the other, & from the floudes to the endes of the worlde.

⁸ And when he is come, he wyll rebuke the worlde of synne, and of rightewesnes, & of iudgement. ⁹ Of synne, because they beleue not on me. ¹⁰ Of ryghtewesnes, because I go to my father, and ye shal se me nomore: ¹¹ Of iudgement, because the prynce of thys worlde is iudged all ready.

³¹ because he hath appoynted a daye, in the which he will iudge the world wt ryghte wesnes, by that man by whom he hath appoynted, & hath offered fayth to all men, after that he had raysed him from deeth.

¹¹ And I sawe heauen open, & behold, a whyte horsse: & he that sat vpon him was called faythfull & true, & in rightewesnes he doth iudge & make battayle.

¹⁵ Ryghteousnes and equite is the habitacyon of thy seate, mercy and trueth shall go before thy face.

³ speaking thus one to another: vp, let vs go to the hyll of the Lord, & to the house of the God of Iacob: that he maye shewe vs his waye, and that we maye walcke in his pathes. For the lawe shall come out of Sion, and the word of the Lorde from Ierusalem,

¹⁰ Therfore, whoso feareth the Lord among you, let him heare the voyce of his seruaunt, Whoso walketh in darcknesse, and no lyght shyneth vpon him, lett hym put hys trust in the name of the Lorde, and holde him by his God. ¹¹ But take hede, ye all kyndle a fyre of the wrath of God, and stere vp the coales: walke on in the glistering of your awne fyre & in the coales that ye haue kindled. This cometh vnto you fro my hande, namely that ye shall slepe in sorowe.

¹ Crye nowe, as loude as thou canst. Leaue not of, lyft vp thy voyce lyke a trompet, & shewe my people theyr offences, & the house of Iacob their synnes.

¹ Get the vp by tymes, & be bryght, for thy lyght commeth, & the glory of the Lorde is rysen vp vpon the. ² For lo, whyle the darcknesse & cloude couereth the earth and the people, the Lorde shall shewe the lyght, & his glory shall be sene in the.

¹⁹ The Sunne shall neuer be thy daye lyght, and the lyght of the Moone shall neuer shyne vnto the: but the Lorde him selfe shalbe thyne euerlastyng lyght, and thy God shalbe thy glory. ²⁰ Thy Sunne shall neuer go downe, and thy Moone shall not be hydde, for the Lorde hym selfe shalbe thy euerlastynge lyght, and thy sorowfull dayes shalbe ended.

⁷⁹ To geue light to them that sate in darcknes & in the shadowe of deathe, to gyde oure fete into the waye of peace.

³⁵ Then Iesus sayd vnto them: yet a lytell whyle is the lyght with you. Walke whyle ye haue lyght, lest the darcknes come on you. He that walketh also in the darck, woteth not whyther he goet ³⁶ Whyle ye haue lyght, beleue on the lyght, that ye maye be the children of the lyght. These thynges spake Iesus, and departed, and hid him self from them.

¹² The nyght is passed, the daye is come nye. Let vs therfore cast awaye the dedes of darcknes, and let vs put on the Armoure of lyght. ¹³ Let vs walke honestly as it were in the daye lyght: not in eatynge & drynckynge, nether in chamburyng and wantannes, nether in stryfe & enuyinge: ¹⁴ but put ye on the Lorde Iesus Chryst. And make not prouisyon for the fleshe, to fulfyll the lustes of it.

⁸ Ye were somtyme darcknes, but nowe are ye lyght in the Lorde. Walke as children of lyght

⁵ Ye are all the chyldren of lyght, and the chyldren of the daye. We are not of the nyght nether of darknes. ⁶ Therfore let vs not slepe as do other: but let vs wacth, & be sober.

⁵ And this is the tydynges whych we haue hearde of hym & declare vnto you, that God is lyght, & in him is no dercknes at all.

⁷ But & yf we walke in lyght euen as he is in lyght, then haue we fellishippe wt him, and the bloude of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all synne.

²³ And the cytie hath no nede of the sonne, nether of the mone to lighten it. For the brightnes of God dyd lyght it, and the lambe was the lyght of it. ²⁴ And the people whych are saued shall walke in the lyght of it. And the kinges of the earth shall brynge theyr glory vnto it.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not suffre a witch to lyue.

¹⁶ & thou take of their daughters vnto thy sonnes, and theyr daughters go a whoringe after theyr goddes,

³¹ Ye shall not regarde them that worke with sprytes, nether seke after sothsayers to be defyled by them, I am the Lorde youre God.

⁶ If a soule turne hym selfe after such as worke wyth spretes, and after sothsayers, to goo a whorynge after them, I wyll put my face agaynst that soule, & wyll destroye hym from amonge hys people.

⁷ And he toke vp hys parable and sayde Balac the kynge of Moab hath fett me from Mesopotamia out of the mountaynes of the east (sayinge:) come, curse Iacob for my sake: come, & defye Israel.

¹ And Israel dwelt in Sittim, and the people began to committe whoredome with the daughters of Moab, ² which called the people vnto the sacryfyce of theyr goddes. And the people dyd eate, and worshypped theyr goddes,

¹⁰ Let ther not be founde amonge you any one, that maketh hys sonne or daughter to go thorowe the fyre, or that vseth wytchcrafte, or a choser out of dayes or that regardeth the flyenge of foules, ¹¹ or a sorcerar, or a charmar, or that counceleth wyth spretes, or a sothsayer, or that asketh at them that be deed. ¹² For all that do soch thynges are abhominacyon vnto the Lorde: and because of these abhominacyons the Lorde thy God doeth cast them out before the. ¹³ Thou shalt be perfecte therfore in the syght of the Lorde thy God. ¹⁴ For these nacyons whych thou shalt conquere, herken vnto chosers oute of dayes, and vnto sorcerers: But the Lord thy God hath not suffred the so to do.

¹¹ and seest amonge the captyues a bewtifull woman, and hast a desyre vnto her, that thou woldest haue her to thy wyfe, ¹² Thou shalt brynge her home to thyne house, and let her shaue her heade & let her nayles growe, ¹³ and put her rayment that she was taken in from her, and let her remayne in thine house, and be wepe her father and her mother a moneth longe, and after that shalt thou go in vnto her, and marye her, & she shall be thy wife.

¹⁶ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: beholde, thou shalt slepe wyth thy fathers, and thys people wyll ryse vp, and go a whorynge after straunge goddes of the lande (whether they go) and will forsake me, and breake the appoyntment, whych I haue made wyth them. ¹⁷ And then my wrath wyll waxe whote agaynst them, and I wyll forsake them, and wyll hyde my face from them, & they shalbe consumed. And moch aduersyte and tribulacyons shall come vpon them, so that then they wyll saye: Are not these troubles come vpon me, because God is not wyth me?

¹ But kynge Salomon loued many outelandishe wemen: and the daughter of Pharao: and wemen of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonites, and Hethites. ² Where as yet (concernynge these nacyons) the Lorde sayde vnto the chyldren of Israell: come not ye at them, nor let them come at you: elles wyll they turne youre hertes after theyr goddes. Neuerthelesse, Salomon claue vnto them in loue.

² And Ahazia fell thorowe a graate of hys vpper chambre that he had in Samaria: and whyle he was in his sycknesse, he sent messengers, and sayde vnto them: go and enquyre of Beelzebub the God of Ekron, whether I shall recouer of this my disease.

⁷ So Ahaz sent messengers to Thiglath Peleser kynge of Assiria, sayinge: I am thy seruaunt and thy sonne, come vp and deliuer me out of the hande of the kynge of Siria, & out of the hande of the king of Israel, which ryse vp agaynst me. ⁸ And Ahaz toke the syluer and the golde that was founde in the house of the Lorde, and in the treasures of the kinges house, and sent a rewarde to the kyng of Assiria.

¹³ So Saul dyed for hys trespace that he trespaced agaynst the Lorde, in that he kept not the worde of the Lorde, and in that he sought and asked councell of a woman that wrought with a sprete,

² And he went out to mete Asa, & sayde vnto him: heare me Asa, and all Iuda, Beniamin. The Lorde is with you, whyle ye be with hym, and when ye seke hym, he wyll be founde of you: and agayne, when ye forsake hym, he also wyll forsake you.

²⁰ And the spyrite of God came vpon Zacharia the sonne of Iehoiada the preast, which stode by the people, & sayde vnto them: Thus sayth God: why transgresse ye the commaundementes of the Lorde, that ye cannot prospere? For because ye haue forsaken the Lord, he also hath forsaken you.

²³ And at the same tyme sawe I Iewes, that maried wyues of Asdod, of Ammon and of Moab,

³⁵ But were myngled among the Heathen, and lerned their worckes.

¹ My sonne yf thou be suertye for thy neyghboure, and hast fastened thyne hand for another man,

¹⁹ And yf they saye vnto you: aske councell at the sothesayers, witches, charmers and coniurers, then make them thys answere. Is there a people eny where, that asketh not councell at his God? Shulde men renne vnto the dead for the lyuynge?

¹² Nowe go to thy coniurers, & to the multitude of thy wytches (with whom thou hast weried thy selfe from thy youth) yf they maye helpe the, or strengthen the. ¹³ Thou hast hytherto had many councels of them, so let the heauen gasers and the beholders of starres and mone prophetes come on nowe and delyuer the: yee, and lett them shewe, when these newe thinges shall come vpon the.

² Thus sayeth the Lorde. Ye shall not lerne after the maner of the Heathen, & ye shall not be afrayed for the tokens of heauen: for the Heathen are afrayed of soch:

²⁰ wherfore wylt thou styll forget vs, and forsake vs so longe?

¹ I saye then: hath God cast awaye hys people? God forbyd. For euen I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the trybe of Beniamin, ² God hath not cast awaye his people, which he knewe before. Wote ye not, what the scripture sayth of Helias, how he maketh intercession to God agaynst Israell, saying:

²⁰ Thou sayest well: because of vnbeleue they were broken of, and thou stodest stedfast in fayth.

¹⁶ But he shall not multiplye horses to him selfe, ner brynge the people agayne to Egypte thorowe the multitude of horses, for as moche as the Lord hath sayde vnto you: ye shall hence forth go no moare agayne that waye. ¹⁷ Also he ought not to multiplie wyues to hym selfe, lest his hert turne awaye, nether shall he gether him syluer and golde to moch.

²⁶ And Salomon had .xl.M. stalles of horses for charrettes, and .xij.M. horsmen.

²¹ And all kynge Salomons drynckynge vesselles were of golde, & lykewyse al the vesselles of the house of the wood of Libanon were of pure gold. And as for syluer, it was nothing worth in the dayes of Salomon, ²² For the kinges nauye of shyppes went on the see vnto Tharsis wt the nauie of Hyrams shippes: euen once in the yere went the nauye to Tharsis, & brought golde and syluer Elephantes teth, apes and pecokes. ²³ And so kynge Salomon exceaded all the kynges of the erth both in richesse & wysdome. ²⁴ And all the worlde resorted to Salomon, to heare his wysdome, which God had put in hys herte. ²⁵ And brought him euery man his present, vessels of syluer and vessels of golde, rayment, harnesse, and swete odoures and horsses and Mules, yere by yere. ²⁶ And Salomon gathered together charettes and horsmen: and he had a thousande and foure hundred charettes, & twelue thousande horsemen, whom he bestowed in the charette cyties, and with the kynge at Ierusalem. ²⁷ And the kynge made syluer in Ierusalem as plenteous as stones, & Cedar as plenteouse as the wylde fygge trees that growe aboundauntly in the feldes.

²⁰ And all the drynckinge vesselles of kyng Salomon were of golde, and all the vessels of the house that was in the forest of Libanon, were of precious golde: for syluer was counted nothynge worthe in the dayes of Salomon. ²¹ For the kynges shyppes wente to Tharsis wyth the seruauntes of Hiram: euery thre yeare once came the shyppes to Tharsis, and brought golde, syluer, Iuorie and apes and pecockes. ²² And kyng Salomon passed all the kynges of the earth in rychesse and wysedome. ²³ And all the kynges of the earth sought the presence of Salomon, to heare his wysdome that God had put in hys herte: ²⁴ And they brought euery man his present: vesselles of syluer, and vesselles of golde, rayment, harnesse spyces, horses and mules, and whatsoeuer myght be gotten, yeare by yeare. ²⁵ And Salomon had foure thousande stalles for horses and charettes, & twelue thousande horsemen, whom he bestowed in the charet cyties, & some were with the kyng at Ierusalem.

⁷ Some put theyr trust in charettes, and some in horses: but we wyll remembre the name of the Lorde oure God.

¹⁶ But ye haue had no lyst therto. For ye haue sayd: No, but we will escape thorowe horses. (Therfore shall ye flye) & we will get vs vp vpon swyft beastes. And therfore shal your persecutours be swyfter.

¹ Wo be vnto them that go downe into Egypte for helpe, and truste in horses, and put their confidence in charettes, because they be manye, and in horsemen, because they be lusty and strong. But they regarde not the holy one of Israel, and they aske no question at the Lord.

²⁷ And lyke as a net is full of byrdes, so are theyr houses ful of that whiche they haue gotten with falshed and disceyte. Herof commeth theyr great substaunce and richesse, ²⁸ herof are they fat and welthy, and are more mischeuous then any other. They mynistre not the lawe, they make no ende of the fatherlesse cause, yea, and they prospere: yet they iudge not the poore accordynge to equytie.

³ Assur shalbe nomore oure helper, nether will we ryde vpon horses eny more. As for the worckes of oure handes, we wyll nomore call vpon them: For it is thou that art oure God, thou shewest euer mercye vnto the fatherlesse.

¹⁰ The tyme shall come also, sayeth the Lord, that I will take thine horses from the, and destroye thy charettes.

¹ Go to now ye ryche men. Wepe, and howle on your wretchednes that shal come vpon you. ² Your riches is corrupte, your garmentes are motheaten, ³ Youre golde & syluer is cankred, and the rust of the shalbe a wytnes vnto you, & shall eate youre flesshe as it were fyre. Ye haue heaped treasure together in your last dayes:

³ for all nacyons haue dronken of the wyne of the wrath of her fornicacion. And the kynges of the earth haue commytted fornicacion wyth her, and the merchauntes of the erth are wexed ryche of the aboundaunce of her pleasures.

¹¹ And the marchauntes of the erth shal wepe and wayle in them selues, for no man wyll bye theyr ware eny more, ¹² the ware of gold and siluer, & precious stones, nether of pearle, and raynes, and purple, and skarlet, and all thynne wodde, and all maner vessels of yuery, & all maner vessels of most precious wodde, & of brasse & yron, ¹³ & synamom, and odours, & oyntmentes, and franckinsence, & wyne, and oyle, and fyne floure, and wheate, beastes, and shepe, and horsses, and charetes, and bodyes, and soules of men. ¹⁴ And the apples that thy soule lusted after, are departed from the. And all thinges which were deyntie, and had in price, are departed from the, & thou shalt fynde them nomore. ¹⁵ The marchauntes of these thynges whyche were wexed ryche, shall stande a farre of from hir, for feare of the punyshement of her, wepynge and waylynge, ¹⁶ & saying: Alas, Alas, that gret cytie, that was clothed in raynes and purple, and scarlet, and decked with golde, and precious stones, & pearles: ¹⁷ for at one houre so great ryches is come to nought. And euery shyppe gouerner, and all they that occupied shyppes, and shypmen which worke in the see, stode a farre of,

²⁸ and there ye shall serue goddes, whyche are the worke of mans hande, wood and stone, which nether se, nor heare, nor eate, nor smell.

² And he dyd that which was ryght in the syght of the Lorde in all poyntes as dyd hys father Uzia saue, that he came not into the temple of the Lorde, and the people dyd yet wyckedly.

² For he walked in the wayes of the kynges of Israel, & made molten ymages for Baalim. ³ He offered incense in the valeye of the sonne of Hinnom, and burnt hys chyldren in fyre after the abominacions of the Heithen, whom the Lord cast out before the chyldren of Israel. ⁴ He offered also, and burnt incense in hilaulters and on mountayns and vnder euery grene tre.

²³ For he offered vnto the Gods of them of Damasco, which bette hym, & he sayd: because the Gods of the kynges of Syria healpe them, therfore wyll I offer to them, that they maye helpe me also. But they were his destruccyon, and the destruccion of all Israel. ²⁴ And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and brake them, and shut vp the dores of the house of the Lord, and made him aulters in euery corner of Ierusalem. ²⁵ And in all the cities of Iuda he made hyllaulters, to burne incense vnto other Gods, & angred the Lorde God of his fathers.

³ and buylt the hylaulter, which Hezekia hys father had broken downe. And he rered vp aulters for Baalim, and made groues, and worshypped all the hoost of heauen, and serued them. ⁴ And he buylt aulters in the house of the Lord: where as the Lorde yet had sayd: in Ierusalem shall my name be for euer. ⁵ And he buylded aulters for all the hoost of heauen, in the two courtes of the house of the Lorde. ⁶ And he burnt hys chyldren in fyre, in the valey of the sonne of Hinnom. He was a sorcerer, he regarded the cryenge of byrdes, vsed inchauntementes, and mayntened workers wt spretes, and sears of fortunes: and wrought moch euell in the syght of the Lorde, to angre him with all. ⁷ And he put the kerued ymage & an Idole which he had made, in the house of God. Of which house God had sayd to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne: in this house and in Ierusalem whych I haue chosen afore all the trybes of Israell, wyll I put my name for euer,

⁴ Their ydoles are syluer and gold, euen the worcke of mens handes. ⁵ They haue mouth, and speake not: eyes haue they, and se not. ⁶ They haue eares, & heare not: noses haue they, and smell not. ⁷ They haue handes and handle not: fete haue they, and walke not, nether speake they thorow their throte. ⁸ They that make them, are lyke vnto them, and so are all soch as put their trust in them.

¹⁰ As who say: I were able to wynne the Kyngdome of the Idolaters and their goddes: but not Ierusalem & Samaria. ¹¹ Shal I not do vnto Ierusalem & their ymages, as I dyd vnto Samaria and their ydoles?

⁸ As for the altares which are his awne handy worke, he shal not regarde them, & the thynges that his fyngers haue made (as groues & ymages) those shall he not cast his eye vnto.

¹⁹ and cast theyr goddes in the fyre. Not withstandynge those were no goddes, but the worckes of mens handes, of wood or stone, therfore haue they destroyed them.

¹⁵ which wodd serueth for men to burne. Of this he taketh and warmeth hym selfe withall: he maketh afyre of it to bake breade. And afterwarde maketh a God there of, to honoure it: & an Idole to knele before it. ¹⁶ One pece he burneth in the fyre, with another he rosteth flesh, that he maye eate roste his bely full: with the thryde he warmeth him self, and sayeth: Aha, I am well warmed, I haue bene at the fyre. ¹⁷ And of the residue he maketh him a God, & an Idole for him selfe. He kneleth before it, he worshippeth it, he prayeth vnto it, & sayeth: delyuer me, for thou art my God. ¹⁸ Yet men nether consydre ner vnderstande, because theyr eyes are stopped, that they cannot se: and their hertes, that they cannot perceaue. ¹⁹ They pondre not in theyr myndes, for they haue nether knowledge ner vnderstandynge, to thincke thus. I haue brent one pece in the fyre. I haue baked bread with the coles there of, I haue rosted flesh with all, & eaten it: shall I nowe of the resydue make an abhominable Idole, and fall downe before a rotten pece of wood? ²⁰ Thus he doth but lese hys laboure, and hys herte which is disceaued, doth turne hym asyde: so that none of them can haue a fre conscience to thincke: maye not Ierre?

⁵ Ye make youre fyre vnder the okes, and vnder all grene trees, and ye offre chyldren in the valleys, and dennes of stone.

²⁸ I shall answere them: Where are nowe thy goddes, that thou hast made the? lett them stande vp, & helpe the in the tyme of nede? yf they be able. For loke howe many cyties thou hast (O Iuda) so many goddes hast thou also.

¹³ For as many cyties as thou hast, O Iuda, so many goddes hast thou had also. And loke how many stretes there be in the, (O Ierusalem) so many shamefull aulters haue ye set vp, aulters I saye to offre vpon them vnto Baal.

²³ After all these thy wyckednesses (wo wo vnto the, sayeth the Lorde) ²⁴ Thou hast buylte hye places, yee at the head of euery strete hast thou buylded the an aulter. ²⁵ Thou hast made thy beuty to be abhorred, thou hast layed out thy legges to euery one that came by, & multiplied thyne whoredome.

⁶ For the calfe came from Israel, the worke man made it, therfore can it be no God, but euen in peaces shall the calfe of Samaria be broken.

¹¹ But at Gilaad is the abhominacyon, they are fallen to vanyte. At Gilgal they haue slayne oxen: as many heapes of stones as they had in theyr lande forowes, so many aulters haue they made.

² And nowe they synne more and more: of their syluer, they make them molten ymages, after the ymaginacyons of ther awne braynes that is, very ydols, and yet all is nothinge but the worke of the craftesman: Not witstandynge they preache of the same to such as there sacrificeth: who so will kysse the calues, offreth perfectlye.

¹⁶ Whil Paul wayted for them at Athens, his sprete was moued in him, whan he sawe the cytie geuen to worshippynge of ymages.

²⁰ And the remanaunt of the men whych were not kylled by these plages, repented not of the dedes of their handes that they shulde not worshyppe deuyls, & ymages of golde and syluer, and brasse, and stone, and of wood, whych nether can se, nether heare, nether go.

¹⁹ And Iosua sayd vnto the people, Ye can not serue the Lorde: for he is an holye God, and a gelous God, and cannot beare youre iniquite and synne.

⁵ Couer not their wickednesse, & let not their synne be put out in thy presence: for they haue prouoked the buylders.

² Hye and lowe, ryche and poore, one wyth another:

⁹ As for the children of men, they are but vayne, the children of men are disceatful: vpon the weyghtes they are all together lighter than vanite it self.

¹⁵ Thus hath man a fall, and is brought lowe, and the hygh loke of the proude shalbe layde downe.

¹¹ When the braunches of it are drie, they are broken of, & the wemen come, and set them on fyer. For it is a people of no vnderstanding, & therfore he that made them, shall not fauoure them, and he that created them, shall geue them no grace.

⁹ Thou wentest streyght to kynges wyth oyle & dyuerse oyntmentes (that is) thou hast sent thy messaungers farre of, & yet art thou fallen into the pyt therby.

⁴ Therfore I thought in my selfe: peraduenture they are so symple and foolysshe, that they vnderstand nothing of the Lordes way, and iudgementes of our God. ⁵ Therfore, wyll I go vnto theyr heedes & rulers, & talke with them: yf they knowe the waye of the Lord and the iudgementes of oure God. But these (in lyke maner) haue broken the yocke, and burst the bondes in sondre.

²³ Yet Lorde, thou knowest all their councell, that they haue deuised, to slaye me. Forgeue not their wyckednes, and let not their sinne be put out of thy syght: but let them be iudged before the as the gyltie: This shalt thou do vnto them in the tyme of thy indignacion.

²⁹ But he that speaketh blasphemy agaynst the holy goost, hath neuer forgeuenes, but is in daunger of eternall damnacyon:

²³ for all haue synned, and are destitute of the glorye of God:

¹⁸ Let no man make you shote at a wronge marke, by the humblenes and holynes of angels, in the thynges which he neuer sawe, beynge causelesse puft vp with his flesshly mynde,

²³ which thynges out wardly haue the similitude of wysdome by supersticion and humblenes of mynde, and by hurtynge of the body, and in that they do the flesshe no worshyppe vnto the nede therof.

¹⁵ And the kynges of the erth, and the gret men, and the ryche men, and the chefe captaynes, & the myghty men, & euery bondman, and euery free man, hyd them selues in dennes, and in rockes of the hylles: ¹⁶ and sayde to the hylles and rockes: fall on vs, & hyde vs from the presence of hym that sytteth on the seate, and from the wrath of the lambe: ¹⁷ for the grete daye of his wrath is come, and who is able to endure?

¹ And the chyldren of Israell committed wyckednes in the sight of the Lord. And the Lord delyuered them into the handes of Madian seuen yeres. ² And the hande of Madian preuayled agaynst Israel, & because of the Madianites, the chyldren of Israel made them dennes in the mountaynes & caues and stronge holdes.

⁵ And when they were dryuen forth, men cryed after them, as it had bene after a thefe. ⁶ Their dwelling was besyde foule brokes, yee, in the caues and dennes of the earth.

²³ For I haue euer feared the vengeaunce and punyshement of God, and knewe very well, that I was not able to beare hys burthen.

²² Golde is brought out of the North, but the prayse and honoure of Gods feare commeth from God hym selfe. ²³ It is not we that can fynde out the almightye: for in power, equite, and ryghteousnesse, he is hyer than can be expressed. ²⁴ Let men therfore feare hym, for there shall no man se hym that is wise in his awne conceate.

¹¹ But who regardeth the power of thy wrath, for euen therafter as a man feareth, so is thy displeasure.

¹⁹ Men shall crepe in to holes of stone, and into caues of the earth, for feare of the Lorde, and for the glory of hys magesty: what tyme as he shall aryse vp to condemne the earth. ²⁰ Then shall man cast awaye hys goddes of syluer, and hys goddes of gold (which he neuertheles had made to honour them) vnto Molles & Backes: ²¹ And they shall crepe in to the caues and rockes, & into the clyftes of hard stones, for feare of God, and for the glory of hys magestye, whan he ryseth to condemne the earth.

³ They cried also eche one to ather on thys maner: holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of Hostes. The whole worlde is full of his glory. ⁴ Yee, the geastes and dorechekes moued at his cryeng, and the house was full of smoke. ⁵ Then I sayde, O wo is me For I am lost in asmoch as I am a man of vncleane lyppes, & dwell amonge people that hath vncleane lyppes also: for myne eyes haue sene the Kynge and Lorde of Hoostes.

³ What will ye do in tyme of the visitacyon, and whan destruccion shall come from farre? To whom wyll ye ronne for helpe? and to whom wyll ye geue youre honoure, that he maye kepe it?

²² But the people them selues is robbed and troden vnder the fote chayned in dongeons and they all (I saye) be shut into preson houses. They be caryed awaye captiue and no man doth lowse them: They be troden vnder fote, and no man doth laboure to bring them agayne.

⁷ Who wolde not feare the? O kyng of the Gentils for thyne is the domynion. For amonge all the wyse men of the Gentyles, and in all theyr kyngdomes, there is none that maye be lickened vnto the.

¹⁰ But the Lorde is a true God, a lyuynge God, & an euerlastynge kynge. If he be wroth, the earth shaketh: all the Gentyles maye not abyde his indygnacyon.

⁸ The hye places of Auen where Israell do synne, shall be cast downe: thystles and thornes shall growe vpon theyr aulters. Then shall they saye to the mountaynes: couer vs, and to the hylles: fall vpon vs.

⁵ But I will shewe you, whom ye shall feare. Feare him, which after he hath kylled, hath power to cast into hell. Yee, I saye vnto you: feare him.

³⁰ Then shall they begynne to saye to the mountaynes: fall on vs: and to the hylles, couer vs.

⁹ which shalbe punysshed wyth euerlastynge damnacyon, from the presence of the Lorde, and from the glory of his power,

¹⁵ And the kynges of the erth, and the gret men, and the ryche men, and the chefe captaynes, & the myghty men, & euery bondman, and euery free man, hyd them selues in dennes, and in rockes of the hylles: ¹⁶ and sayde to the hylles and rockes: fall on vs, & hyde vs from the presence of hym that sytteth on the seate, and from the wrath of the lambe:

³ and they songe the songe of Moses the seruaunt of God, & the songe of the lambe, sayinge: Gret and maruelous are thy workes: Lorde God almyghtye, iuste & true are thy wayes, thou Kyng of Saynctes. ⁴ Who shall not feare o Lorde, & gloryfy thy name? For thou only arte holy, and all gentyls shall come and worshyppe before the, for thy iudgementes are made manyfeste.

¹⁰ Then arme thy selfe wyth thyne awne power, vp, decke the in thy ioly araye, ¹¹ powre out the indignacion of thy wrath: se that thou cast downe all the proude, ¹² loke well, that thou makest all soch as be stubburne, to obeye: treade downe all the vngodly in their place,

²⁷ For thou shalt saue the people that are in aduersite, and shalt brynge downe the hye lookes of the proude.

¹⁷ And it shall brynge downe the pryde of man, and laye mans presumptuousnesse full lowe, and the Lorde shall only haue the vyctory in that daye.

¹ Then shall seuen wyues take holde of one man, and saye: we wyll laye all our meate and clothynge together in comen, only that we may be called thy wyues, & that thys shamefull reprofe maye be taken from vs.

¹⁵ Thus hath man a fall, and is brought lowe, and the hygh loke of the proude shalbe layde downe. ¹⁶ But the Lord of hostes is exalted in iudgement, and God that is holy, is praysed in ryghteousnes:

¹⁰ And in that daye shal the gentyles enquere after the rote of Iesse which shalbe set vp for a token vnto the people, & hys dwellynge shalbe glorious. ¹¹ At the same time shal the lord take in hande agayne, to conquere the remnaunt of his people (which shalbe left alyue) From the Assyrians, Egypcians, Arabians, Morians, Elamites, Caldeyes, Antiochians and from the Ilandes of the see.

¹ So that then thou shalt saye: O Lorde, I wyll thanke the, for thou waste displeased at me, but refrayne thou from thy wrath, and comforte me.

⁴ & then shall ye saye: geue thanckes vnto the lorde, call vpon his name, declare his councels amonge the people, kepe them in remembrance, for his name is excellent.

¹¹ And I wyll punysh the wyckednesse of the worlde, and the synnes of the vngodly, sayeth the Lorde. The hye stomackes of the proude wyll I take awaye, and wyll laye downe the boastynge of tyrauntes.

²¹ And in that daye shall the Lord viset the host aboue that is on hye: & the kinges of the world that are vpon the erth.

⁹ And in that daye it shalbe sayde: Lo, this is our God, we haue wayted for hym, & he shall saue vs. Thys is the Lord, in whom we haue hoped, we wylbe mery & reioyce in the saluation that commeth of hym.

¹ In that daye shall thys songe be songe in the lande of Iuda. We haue a stronge citye. Saluacion shall God appoynte in steade of walles and bulworke.

¹ In that daye, the Lorde wt his sore, great and myghtye swearde shall viset Leuiathan the fugityue serpent, euen Leuiathan that croked serpent, and he shall slaye the dragon that is in the see. ² In that daye, se that ye syng of the congregatyon which is the vyneiard, that bringeth forth the best wyne.

¹² And in that daye shall the Lorde make a thresshing from the middes of the riuer Euphrates vnto the riuer of Egipt: and ye children of Israel shalbe gathered together one to another. ¹³ In that daye shall the great trompe be blowne, so that they which were lost in the lande of Assiria: & they that were banisshed into the lande of Egipt, shall come and worshyp the Lorde in the holy mount at Ierusalem:

⁵ In the daye shall the Lorde of hostes be the crowne of glory, & diademe of bewtye vnto the residue of his people.

¹⁸ And in that daye shall deaffe men heare the wordes of the boke, and the eyes of the blinde shall se euen out of the cloud and out of darcknes.

²³ Then shall God geue rayne vnto thy seede, that thou shalt sowe the ground withall, and bred of the increace of the earth, which shalbe fat and very plenteous. In that daye also, shall thy catell be fed in large pasture.

²³ But thou Sennaherib. whom hast thou defyed and blasphemed? Agaynst whom hast thou lifted vp thy voyce, and exalted thy proude lookes? euen agaynst the holy one of Israel.

⁶ Therfore that my people maye knowe my name, therfore I say in that daye they shall knowe it, that I am he that do speake. I saye euen I.

²⁴ But who so will reioyse, let hym reioyse in this, that he vnderstandeth, & knoweth me: for I am the Lorde, which do mercy, equyte and ryghteousnesse vpon the earth. Therfore, haue I pleasure in soch thynges, sayeth the Lorde.

⁷ Alas for this daye, which is so dredefull that none maye be likened vnto it: and alas for the tyme of Iacobs trouble, from the which he shall yet be delyuered. ⁸ For in that daye, sayth the Lorde, I will take his yocke from of thy neck, & breake thy bondes: And strangers shall nomore serue hym:

³¹ Beholde, I speake vnto the, O thou proude, sayth the Lorde God of hostes: for thy daye shall come, euen the tyme of thy visitation. ³² And the proude shall stomble and fall and no man shall helpe him vp. I wyll burne vp his cityes with fyer, and it shall consume all that is rounde about him.

¹⁴ Therfore, O thou sonne of man, thou shalt prophecie, and saye vnto God. Thus saieth the Lord God. In that daye thou shalt knowe that my people of Israel dwelleth safe:

¹⁹ For in my gelousy and hote displeasure I haue deuysed that there shalbe a greate trouble in the lande of Israell at that tyme.

¹¹ At the same tyme wil I geue vnto God, a place to be buried in Israel, euen the valley, where thorow men go from the east to the see warde. Those that trauayle therby, shall stoppe ther noses for stenche. There shall Gog & all hys people be buried: and it shalbe called the valley of the people of God.

²² that the house of Israell maye knowe, how that I am the Lord their God from that daye forth.

¹⁶ Then (sayeth the Lorde she shall saye vnto me) O my housbande, & shall call me nomore Baal:

²¹ At the same tyme wyll I shewe my selfe frendly & gracyous vnto the heuens, sayeth the Lord: and the heauens shall helpe the earth

¹⁸ Then shall the mountaynes drope swete wyne, and the hylles shall flowe with mylcke. All the ryuers of Iuda shall haue water ynough, and out of the Lordes house there shall flowe a spring, to water the broke of Sitim:

¹¹ At that tyme will I buylde agayne the tabernacle of Dauid, that is fallen downe, and hedge vp his gappes: and loke what ys broken, I shal repayre it: yee, I shall buylde it agayne, as it was afore tyme

⁸ Shall not I at the same tyme destroye the wyse men of Edom, and those that haue vnderstandyng, from the mount of Esau?

⁶ At the same tyme, sayeth the Lorde, will I gather vp the lame and the out castes, & soch as I haue chastened:

¹¹ The tyme will come, that thy gappes shal be made vp, & the lawe shal go abrode: ¹² & at that tyme shal they come vnto the from Assur vnto the stronge cityes, & from the stronge cityes vnto the ryuer: from the one see to the other, from the one mountayne to the other.

¹¹ In that tyme shalt thou nomore be confounded, because of all thy ymagynacions, wher thorow thou haddest offended me: for I will take awaye the proude boasters of thyne honour from the, so that thou shalt nomore triumphe because of my holy hyl.

¹⁶ In that tyme it shalbe sayde to Ierusalem: feare not, & to Syon: let not thyne handes be slacke,

¹⁶ The Lord their God shal delyuer them in the daye, as the flock of his people: ffor as precyous stones of a dyademe they shall be sett vp ouer his lande.

¹ For marck, the daye commeth that shal bnrne as an ouen: and all the proude, yee, and all soch as do wyckednesse, shalbe strawe, & the daye that is for to come, shall burne them vp (saieth the Lord of hostes) so that it shal leaue them nether rote ner braunche.

¹⁴ I tell you: thys man departed home to hys house iustyfyed, more then the other. For euery one that exalteth him self, shalbe brought lowe: And he that humbleth him selfe, shalbe exalted.

²⁹ that no flesshe shulde reioyce in hys presence. ³⁰ And of hym are ye, in Chryst Iesu, whych of God is made vnto vs, wysdome, & rightwesnes, and sanctifyinge, and redempcyon. ³¹ That accordynge as it is written: he which reioyseth, shulde reioyce in the Lorde.

⁵ wherewith we ouerthrowe councels and euery hye thynge that exalteth it selfe agaynst the knowledge of God, and brynge into captiuyte all ymaginacion to the obedience of Christ,

¹⁷ But let him that reioyseth, reioyse in the Lorde.

⁵ Lykewyse ye yonger, submyt your selues vnto the elder: Submit youre selues euery man, one to another, knyt youre selues together in lowlynes of mynde. For God resisteth the proude, and geueth grace to the humbl

¹⁶ These syxe thynges doth the Lord hate, and the seuenth he vtterly abhorreth: ¹⁷ A proude looke a lyinge tonge, handes that shed innocent bloude,

⁵ The Lorde abhorreth all such as be of a proude herte, his hande is against ther hande and they shall not escape as innocentes.

⁶ Mourne ye, for the daye of the Lord is at hande, and shall come as a destroyer from the almyghtie.

⁹ Beholde, the daye of the Lord shall come, terrible, ful of indignacion, furoure & wrath to make the lande waste, & to roote out the synners therof.

⁹ Euen the lord of hoostes hath deuysed thys, to put downe the pryde of all such as be glorious, and to mynish all them that be proude vpon earth:

⁴ The earth is sory & consumeth awaye, the worlde is feble & perisheth, the proude people of the erth are come to naught

¹⁰ This daye of the Lorde God of hostes, is a daye of vengeaunce, that he maye auenge hym of hys enemyes. The swearde shall deuoure, it shalbe satisfyed, and bathed in theyr bloude. For the Lorde God of hostes shall haue a slayne offering towarde the north, by the water of Euphrates.

⁵ For they stande not in the gappes, nether make they an hedge for the house of Israel, that men myght abyde the battell in the daye of the Lorde.

³⁷ Then dyd I Nabuchodonosor, loue, magnifye and prayse the kynge of heauen: for all his worckes are true, and hys wayes ryght. As for those that go on proudly, he is able to brynge them downe.

²⁰ But because his hert was so proude, and his stomack set so fast vnto wylfulnesse: he was deposed from his kyngly trone, & hys magesty was taken from hym. ²¹ He was shut out from amonge men, hys herte was lyke a beastes herte, and hys dwellynge was with the wylde asses: he was fayne to eate grasse lyke an oxe, & hys body was wet with the dewe of the heauen, tyll he knewe, that the hyest had power vpon the kyngdomes of men and setteth ouer them, whom he lyst. ²² And thou his sonne (O Balthazar) for all this, hast not submytted thyne herte, though thou knewest all these thinges: ²³ but hast magnifyed thy selfe aboue the Lorde of heauen, so that the vessels of hys house were brought before the: that thou, and thy Lordes? with thy quene and concubynes, myght dryncke wyne therout. And hast praysed the Idoles of syluer and gold, copper and yron, of wodd and stone. As for the God in whose hande consysteth thy breth and all thy wayes: thou hast not loued hym. ²⁴ Therfore is the palme of thys hande sent hyther from hym, to token vp this wryting.

¹⁸ Wo be vnto them that desyre the daye of the Lorde. Wherfore wolde ye haue it? As for the daye of the Lorde, it shalbe darcke and not cleare.

⁵ Beholde, I wyll sende you Elias the prophet: before the commynge of the daye of the greate and fearefull Lorde.

¹² But whosoeuer exalteth him selfe? shalbe brought lowe. And he that humbleth him selfe, shalbe exalted.

¹¹ For whosoeuer exalteth him self, shalbe brought lowe. And he that humbleth hym selfe, shalbe exalted.

⁵ to delyuer hym vnto Satan, for the destruccyon of the flesshe, that the sprete maye be saued in the daye of the Lorde Iesus.

² for ye yourselues know perfectly, that the daye of the Lord shall come, euen as a thefe in the nyght.

⁶ but geueth more grace.

³³ But se, the Lord God of hostes shall take awaye the proude from thence, with feare. He shall hewe downe the proude, & fel the hye mynded. ³⁴ The busshes also of the wood shal he rote out with yron, and Lybanus shall haue a myghtye fall.

⁸ Ye, euen the Fyrre trees & Cedres of libanus reioyse at thy fall sayeng: Nowe that thou art layd downe, there come no mo vp to hewe downe vs.

²⁴ Thou with thy seruauntes hast blasphemed the Lorde, and thus holdest thou of thy selfe. I will couer the hye mountaynes, and sydes of Libanus with my horsmen. And there will I cut downe the hye Cedre trees and the fayrest Fyrre trees. I wyll vp into the heygth of it, and into the chefest of hys tymbre woddes.

³ Beholde, Assur was lyke a Cedre tre vpon the mount of Lybanus with fayre braunches: so thycke, that he gaue shadowes and shot out very hye. Hys toppe reached vnto the cloudes. ⁴ The waters made hym great, and the depe set him vp an hye. Rounde aboute the rotes of hym ranne there floudes of water, he sent out his lytle ryuers vnto all the trees of the felde. ⁵ Therfore was he hyer then all the trees of the felde, and thorow the multytude of waters that he sent from him, he optayned many longe braunches. ⁶ All foules of the ayre made theyr nestes in his braunches, vnder his bowes gendred all the beastes of the felde, and vnder his shadow dwelt all people. ⁷ Fayre & bewtifull was he in his gretnes & in the length of hys braunches, for hys rote stode besyde great waters, ⁸ no Cedre tre myght hyde hym. In the pleasaunt garden of God, there was no fyrre tre lyke hys braunches, the playne trees were not lyke the bowes of hym. All the trees in the garden of God myght not be compared vnto him in his bewty, ⁹ so fayre and goodly had I made hym wt the multytude of hys braunches. In so moch that all the trees in the pleasaunt garden of God had enuye at hym. ¹⁰ Therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde God: for so moch as he hath lyft vp him selfe so hye, and stretched hys toppe into the cloudes, and seinge his hert is proude in his hyghnesse. ¹¹ I wyll delyuer hym into the handes of the myghtyest among the Heathen, which shall rote him out. Accordynge to his wyckednesse wyll I cast him awaye, ¹² the enemye shall destroye hym, and the myghty men of the Heathen shall so scatre him that his braunches shall lye vpon all mountaynes and in all valleyes: his bowes shalbe broken downe to the grounde thorow out the lande. Then all the people of the lande shall go from his shadowe, and forsake him.

⁵ Therfore, will I sende a fyre into Iuda, which shall consume the palaces of Ierusalem.

¹ Open thy dores, O Libanus, that the fyre maye consume thy Cedre trees. ² Howle ye Fyrre trees for the Cedre is fallen, yee, all the proude are wasted awaye. Howle (O ye oke trees of Baasan) for the myghtye stronge wood is cut downe.

¹⁶ Why hoppe ye so ye hye hylles? Thys is Gods hill, in the which it pleaseth him to dwell: yee, the Lorde will abyde in it for euer.

⁵ The Lorde vpon thy ryght hande, shall wounde euen kynges in the daye of his wrath. ⁶ He shall be iudge among the Heathen, he shall fyll the places with deed bodyes, & smyte a sonder the heades ouer diuerse countres.

²⁵ Finally, vpon euery hye mountaine and hyll shall ther be riuers and streames of waters, in the daye of the greate slaughter, when the towers fall.

⁴ Let all valleyes be exalted, & euery mountayne & hill be layed lowe, what so is croked, let it be made strayght: & let the rough be made playne feldes.

¹² The strongholde also and fence of thy walles hath he ouerthrowen & cast downe, & brought them to the grounde, euen vnto dust.

⁵² ye shall dryue out all the inhabiters of the lande before you, and destroye all their pictures, and breake asunder all their ymages of metall, and plucke downe all theyr aulters.

²² For the kinges nauye of shyppes went on the see vnto Tharsis wt the nauie of Hyrams shippes: euen once in the yere went the nauye to Tharsis, & brought golde and syluer Elephantes teth, apes and pecokes.

⁴⁸ And Iehosaphat made ten shippes in the se, to come thorowe Tharsis to Ophir for golde, but they went not: for the shyppes brake at ozion Gaber. ⁴⁹ Then sayde Ahazia the sonne of Ahab vnto Iehosaphat: let my seruauntes go with thy seruauntes in the shippes. But Iehosaphat wolde not.

⁷ For God is kyng of all the earth synge ye prayses wt vnderstandyng.

¹ The burthen of Tyre: Mourne ye shyppes of Tharsis, for there commeth such destruccyon that ye shall not haue an house to entre into: Out of the lande of Cittim haue they knowlege of thys plage.

⁹ The Iles also shall wayte for me, & specially the shyppes of Tharsis: that they maye brynge thy sonnes from farre, & theyr syluer & their golde with them, vnto the name of the Lorde thy God, vnto the holy one of Israel, that hath glorifyed the.

¹¹ And the marchauntes of the erth shal wepe and wayle in them selues, for no man wyll bye theyr ware eny more,

¹⁷ for at one houre so great ryches is come to nought. And euery shyppe gouerner, and all they that occupied shyppes, and shypmen which worke in the see, stode a farre of, ¹⁸ and cryed, when they sawe the smoke of her burnyng, saying: what cytie is lyke vnto this gret citie? ¹⁹ And they cast dust on theyr heddes, and cryed wepyng, & waylyng, & sayde: Alas, Alas, that great cytie, wherin were made riche all that had shippes in the see, by the reason of her costlynes, for at one houre is she made desolate.

¹¹ Which casteth downe the high lookes of presumptuous personnes, and bringeth lowe the pryde of man, and the Lorde only shall be exalted in that daye.

²⁹ As for Moabs pryde, we haue hearde of it: she is verye hye mynded. I knowe her stoutnes, her boastynge, her arogancye, and the pryde of her stomack, sayth the Lorde. ³⁰ I knowe (sayeth the Lorde) her indignacyon, she doth not ryght, her wordes are lyes, and they haue not delt truly.

² thou sonne of man, tell the prince of Tyre: Thus sayeth the Lorde God, because thou hast a proude hert and hast sayde: I am a God, I haue my seate in the myddest of the see lyke a God: where as thou art but a man and not God, and yet standest in thyne awne conceate, that thou arte God: ³ Beholde, thou thynckest thy selfe wyser then Daniel, that there is no secretes hyd from the. ⁴ Wyth thy wysdome and thy vnderstandyng, thou hast gotten the great welthynes, and gathered treasure of syluer and golde. ⁵ With thy greate wysdome and occupyenge, hast thou increased thy power, and because of thy greate rychesse, thy herte is proude. ⁶ Therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde God: For so moch as thou hast lyft vp thyne hert as though thou were God: ⁷ Beholde, I will brynge ennemyes vpon the, euen the tyrauntes of the Heathen: these shall drawe out their sweardes vpon thy bewty and wysdome, & shal defyle thy glory.

⁹ And beholde, here commeth a charet of men, with two horsmen And he answered & sayde: Babylon is fallen, it is fallen, & all the ymages of hyr goddes hath he smytten downe vnto the grounde.

⁹ Thus therfore shall the iniquytie of Iacob be reconcyled, and here is all the frute of the takynge awaye of his synne, yf he make all the stones of the aultars of ydolles, as chalke stones that are beaten in sunder, that theyr groues and ymages ryse not vp agayne.

²⁵ Then will I poure cleare water vpon you, and ye shalbe clene: yee, from all your vnclennesse and from all your Idols shall I clense you.

²³ they shal also defile them selues nomore with their abhominacions, Idoles, & all their wycked doinges. I will helpe them out of all their dwellinge places, wherin they haue synned: and wil so clense them, that they shalbe my people, and I their God.

⁸ O Ephraim, what haue I to do wyth Idols eny more? I wyll graciously heare hym, and sede hym forth. I wyll be vnto the as a grene fyrre tre, vpon me shalt thou fynde thy frute.

³ I wyll gather vp man & beast: I wyll gather vp the foules in the ayre and the fysh in the see (to the greate decaye of the wycked) and wyll vtterly destroye the men out of the lande, sayeth the Lord.

² And then (sayeth the Lorde of hostes) I wyll destroye the names of Idoles out of the lande: so that they shall nomore be put in remembraunce. As for the false prophetes also, and the vnclene sprete, I shall take them out of the lande.

⁶ And when the men of Israel sawe it, they were in a strayte, & feare came vpon the people, and they hydd them selues in caues, and in preuy holes, and in rockes, and in hye places, & in pittes.

¹¹ And they bothe shewed them selues vnto the watch of the Philistines. And the Philistines sayde: se, the Hebrues come out of the holes where they had hydd them selues in.

⁶ Stande vp, O Lorde, in thy wrath: and lyfte vp thy selfe, because of the indygnacyons of myne enemyes: aryse vp for me, in the iudgement that thou hast commaunded.

⁶ So shall he heare my voyce out of his temple, & my complaynte shall come before him, it shall entre euen into hys cares. ⁷ The erth trembled & quaked, the very foundacions also of the hylles shoke & were remoued, because he was wroth. ⁸ There went a smoke out in his presence: & a consumynge fyre out of hys mouth, so that coales were kyndled at it. ⁹ He bowed the heauens also, & came downe, and it was darcke vnder his fete. ¹⁰ He rode vpon the cherubins, & dyd flye: he came flying vpon the wynges of the wynde. ¹¹ He made darcknes hys secrete place: hys pauylion rounde aboute hym, with darcke water and thycke cloudes to couer hym. ¹² At the bryghtnesse of hys presence hys cloudes remoued, hayle stones and coales of fyer. ¹³ The Lorde also thondred out of the heauen, & the hyest gaue his thondre, hayle stones, and coales of fyer. ¹⁴ He sent out his arowes and scattered them, he cast forth lyghtnynges, & destroyed them. ¹⁵ The sprynges of waters were sene, & the foundacions of the round worlde were discouered at thy chydinge, O Lorde, at the blastynge of the breth of thy displeasure.

⁷ Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who may stande in thy syght, when thou art angrye. ⁸ Thou dyddest cause thy iudgement to be herde from heauen, the erth trembled and was styll. ⁹ When God arose to iudgement, & to helpe all the meke vpon earth. Sela.

⁵ What ayleth the, O thou see, that thou fleddest? and thou Iordan, that thou wast dryuen backe? ⁶ Ye mountaynes, that ye skypped lyke rammes: & ye lytle hylles, lyke yong shepe? ⁷ Tremble thou erth at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iacob.

¹⁰ And therfore get the in to some rock, and hyde the in the grounde for feare of the Lord, and for the glory of his magestye:

²¹ And they shall crepe in to the caues and rockes, & into the clyftes of hard stones, for feare of God, and for the glory of hys magestye, whan he ryseth to condemne the earth.

³² And it shall come to passe, that whyther soeuer he goth, the rodde shall cleue vnto him, which the Lorde shall laye vpon him with tabrettes and harpes: and with greate warre shall he fyght agaynst his hoost.

¹⁶ Beholde (sayeth the Lorde) I wyl sende out many fyshers to take them, and after that wyll I sende out many hunters to hunte them out, from all mountaynes and hylles and out of the caues of stone.

³ For why? beholde, the Lorde shall go out of his place, & come downe, & treade vpon the hye thynges of the earth. ⁴ The mountaynes shall consume vnder him, & the valleyes shal cleue asunder: lyke as waxe consumeth at the fyre, & as the waters runne downwarde.

¹⁷ They shal lycke the dust lyke a serpent, & as the wormes of the earth, that tremble in their holes. They shalbe afrayed of the Lord oure God, & they shall feare the.

³ The Lord suffreth longe, he is of great power, & so innocent that he leaueth no man fautlesse before him. The Lord goeth forth in tempest & stormy wether, the cloudes are the dust of his fete. ⁴ When he reproueth the see, he dryeth it vp, & turneth all the floudes to drie lande Basan is desolate, Charmel & the pleasure of Lybanus wasteth awaye. ⁵ The mountaynes tremble for him, the hylles consume. At the sight of him, the earth quaketh: yee, the whole world, and all that dwell therin. ⁶ Who maye endure before hys wrath? Or who is able to abide his gryme displeasure? His anger taketh on lyke fyre, and the harde rockes are clouen in sunder before him.

³ God commeth from Theman, & the holy one from the mount of Pharan. Selah. ⁴ His glory couereth the heauens, & the earth is full of his prayse. His shine is as the sunne, and beames of lyght go out of hys handes, there is his power hyd. ⁵ Destruccyon goeth before hym, & a pestilent sycknesse go from his fete. ⁶ He standeth, & measureth the earth He loketh, & the people consume awaye, the mountaynes of the worlde fal downe to poulder, & the hilles are fayne to bowe them selues, for his goinges are euerlastynge and sure. ⁷ I sawe, that the pauilyons of the Morians & the tentes of the land of Madian were vexed for werynesse. ⁸ Wast thou not angrie O Lord, in the waters? was not thy wrath in the floudes, & thy displeasure in the see? yes when thou sattest vpon thine horse, & when thy charetes had the victory. ⁹ Thou shewedst thy bowe openly, lyke as thou haddest promysed wt an othe vnto the trybes. Selah. Thou dydest deuyde the waters of the earth. ¹⁰ When the mountaines sawe the, they were afrayed, the water streame wente awaye: the depe made a noyse at the lyftinge vp of thyne hand. ¹¹ The Sunne & Moone remayned styll in their habitacyon. Thyne arowes wente out glisterynge, and thy speares as the shyne of the lyghtenyng. ¹² Thou trodest downe the land in thyne anger, and dydest throshe the Heathen in thy displeasure. ¹³ Thou camest forth to helpe thy people, to helpe thine anointed. Thou smotest downe the head the house of the vngodly, & discoueredest hys foundacions, euen vnto the necke of him. Selah. ¹⁴ Thou dydest stryke thorow wt his scepter the heades of his playne people: which come as a stormy wynd to scatre me abrode, & are glad when they maye eat vp the poore secretly

⁶ & do accordynge to the worde (for I am with you, sayth the Lord of hostes) lyke as I agreed with you, when ye came out of the lande of Egypt: & my sprete shalbe amonge you, feare, ye not.

²¹ Moreouer, the .xxiiii. daye of the moneth came the worde of the Lorde vnto Aggeus agayne, sayenge: ²² Speake to Zorobabell the prynce of Iuda, & saye: I wyll shake both heauen & earth,

³⁸ which men that worlde was not worthy of: they wandred in wildernesses: & in mountaynes, and in dennes, and caues of erth.

²⁶ whose voyce then shoke the erth, and now hath declared sayinge: yet once more will I shake, not the erth onely, but also heauen.

¹⁰ Neuerthelesse the daye of the Lord wyll come as a thefe in the nyghte, in the which daye, the heauens shall passe awaye in maner of a tempest, and the elementes shal melt with heat: the erth also & the workes that are therin, shall burne. ¹¹ Seyng then that all these thinges shal perishe, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersacyon, and godlynes: ¹² lokyng for, and hastinge vnto the commynge of the daye of God, by whom the heauens shall perisshe with fyre, & the elementes shall melt with heate? ¹³ Neuerthelesse, we (according to his promes) loke for a new heauen and a new earth, wherin dwelleth ryghtewesnes.

¹² And I behelde, when he had opened the syxt seale: & lo, ther was a great erthquake and the sunne was as blacke as sacke cloth made of heere. And the mone wexed all, euen as bloud, ¹³ and the starres of heauen fell vnto the erth, euen as a fygge tree casteth from her vntymely fygges, when she is shaken of a myghty wynde. ¹⁴ And heauen vanisshed awaye, as a scroll when it is rolled to gether. And all mountaynes and yles, were moued out of theyr places. ¹⁵ And the kynges of the erth, and the gret men, and the ryche men, and the chefe captaynes, & the myghty men, & euery bondman, and euery free man, hyd them selues in dennes, and in rockes of the hylles:

⁶ And in those dayes shall men seke deeth, and shall not finde it, & shall desyre to dye, and deeth shall flye from them.

¹³ And the same houre was ther a great erthquake, and the tenth parte of the cytye fell, and in the erthquake were slayne names of men seuen .M. and the remnaunt were feared, and gaue glory to the God of heauen.

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heauen, & ther was sene in his temple, the arcke of his testament, & ther folowed lightnynges, and voyces, and thondrynges and erthquake, and moch hayle.

¹⁸ And ther folowed, voyces, thondringes, and lightenynges, & ther was a greate erthquake, suche as was not sence men were vpon the erth, so mighty an erthquake & so great.

¹¹ And I sawe a great whyte seate, and him that sate on it, from whose face fleed awaye both the erth and heauen, and their place was nomore founde.

¹⁹ the heron, the Iaye after his kynde, the lapwynge: and the swalowe.

²² Ye shall destroye also the couerynge of youre syluer ymages, and the deckinge of youre golden ydols. Euen as filthynes shall ye put them awaye. And thou shalt say vnto it. Gett the hence.

⁷ For in that daye euery man shall cast out hys ydolles of syluer and hys ydolles of golde, which ye haue made with youre awne handes vnto youre synne.

¹ Bell is fallen, Nabo is broken downe: whose ymages were a burthen for the beastes and catell, to ouerlade them, and to make them weery.

⁶ Ye fooles (no doute) wyll take out syluer & golde oute of youre purses, and wepe it, & hyre a goldsmyth to make a God of it, that men maye knele downe and worshyppe it.

⁷ But the thynges that were vauntage vnto me, those I counted losse for Chrystes sake. ⁸ ye I thynke all thynges but losse for the excellencye of the knowledge of Chryst Iesu my Lorde. For whom I haue counted all thynge losse, and do iudge them but vyle, that I maye wynne Chryst,

²² and whyle my glory goeth forth, I will put the in a clyft of the rock: and wyll put myne hande vpon the, whyle I passe by.

⁶ Their dwelling was besyde foule brokes, yee, in the caues and dennes of the earth.

¹⁴ (O my doue) out of the caues of the rockes, out of the holes of the wall: O let me se thy countenaunce and heare thy voyce for swete is thy voyce, and fayre is thy face.

¹⁹ Men shall crepe in to holes of stone, and into caues of the earth, for feare of the Lorde, and for the glory of hys magesty: what tyme as he shall aryse vp to condemne the earth.

⁷ The Lorde God also shope man, euen dust from of the grounde, and brethed into his nastrels the breth of lyfe: and Adam was made a lyuing soule.
