and they were weak. ¹⁵ And the king of the north shall come and shall pour out a mound, and take the city of fortifications: and the arms of the south shall not stand, and the people of his choices, and no strength to stand. ¹⁶ And he coming against him will do according to his will, and none standing before his face: and he shall stand in the land of glory, and it was finished in his hand. ¹⁷ And he shall set up his face to come with the power of all his kingdom, and the upright with him; and he did: and he will give to him the daughter of women, to corrupt her: and she shall not stand, and shall not be for him. ¹⁸ And he will turn back his face to the isles and take many: and a leader caused his reproach to cease to him; besides his reproach shall turn back to him. ¹⁹ And he shall tarn back his face to the fortress of his land: and he was weak and he fell, and he shall not be found. ²⁰ And there stood up upon his place he causing a task-master to pass through the glory of his kingdom: and in some days he shall be broken, and not in anger and not in war. ²¹ And there stood up upon his place he being despised; and they gave not upon him the strength of the kingdom: and he came in tranquillity, and he took the kingdom by flatteries. ²² And with the arms of an overflowing they shall overflow from his face, and they shall be broken; and also the leader of the covenant. ²³ And from being joined to him he shall do deceit: and he came up and was strong with a small nation. ²⁴ And in security and in fatnesses of the province shall he come; and he did what his fathers did not, and the fathers of his fathers; the prey and spoil and property shall he scatter to them: and against the fortifications he shall reckon his purposes, and even to a time. ²⁵ And his strength shall rouse up and his heart against the king of the south with great force; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to war with a great and strong force, even exceedingly; and he shall not stand, for they shall reckon purposes against him. ²⁶ And they eating his dainties shall break him, and his force shall overflow: and many fell wounded. ²⁷ And they two kings, their heart for doing evil, and at one table they will speak falsehood; and it shall not prosper: for yet the end at the appointment ²⁸ And he shall turn back to his land with great property; and his heart against the holy covenant; and he did, and turned back to his land. ²⁹ At the appointment he shall turn back, and come into the south; and it shall not be as the first, and as the last. ³⁰ And the inhabitants of the desert, the Chittims came against him: and he was dejected, and he turned back, and was angry against the holy covenant: and he did, and turned back; and he shall understand for those forsaking the holy covenant ³¹ And seed from him shall stand up, and they profaned the holy place of strength, and they removed the Continuance, and they gave the abomination laying waste. ³² And those condemning the covenant shall pollute by smooth things: and the people knowing their God shall be strong and do. ³³ And those understanding of the people shall cause to understand to many: and they were weak by the sword, and by flame, and by captivity, and by plunder, days. ³⁴ And in their being weak they shall be helped with a little help: and many were joined to them by flatteries. ³⁵ And from those understanding shall be weak to try upon them to separate, to become white even to the time of the end: for yet at the appointment ³⁶ And the king did according to his will; and he shall exalt himself and magnify himself over every god; and against the God of gods he shall speak wonderful things,, and he prospered even till anger was finished: for that being determined was done. ³⁷ And concerning the God of his fathers he shall not understand, and concerning the desire of women, and concerning every god he shall not understand; for he shall magnify himself over all. ³⁸ And to the God of fortresses he shall do honor upon his place: and to a god which his fathers knew not he shall do honor with gold and with silver, and with precious stone, and with desires. ³⁹ And he did to the strong fortifications with a strange god whom he recognized, he shall multiply honor: and he caused them to rule over many, and he will divide the land for a price. ⁴⁰ And in the time of the end the king of the south shall wage war with him: and the king of the north shall rush on like a tempest against him, with chariot and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he came into the lands, and overflowed and passed through. ⁴¹ And he came into the land of glory, and many shall be weak: and these shall escape from his hand, Edom and Moab, and the first of the sons of Ammon. ⁴² And he shall send forth his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt shall not be for escaping. ⁴³ And he ruled over the hidden things of gold and silver, and over all the desires of Egypt: and the Lybians and Cushites in his steps. ⁴⁴ And reports from the sunrising and from the north shall terrify him: and he shall go forth in great wrath to destroy, and to exterminate many. ⁴⁵ And he shall plant the tent of his palace between the seas to the mountain of glory of holiness: and he came even to his end, and none helping to him.

¹⁶ I heard and my belly will tremble; at the voice my lips quivered: rottenness will come into my bones, and I shall tremble under me that I shall rest at the day of straits: to come up to the people he will invade him. ¹⁷ If the fig tree shall not blossom, and no produce in the vines; the work of the olive failed, and the fields made not food; and the sheep being cut off from the fold, and no oxen in the stalls. ¹⁸ I will exult in Jehovah, I will rejoice in the God saving me.

¹⁴ And this good news of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the whole habitable globe for a witness to all nations: and then shall the end come.

⁵⁴ How then would the writings be filled up, that so it must be?

⁷ And when ye hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not terrified: for it must be; but the end is not yet. ⁸ For nation shall be raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in places, and there shall be famines, and commotions: these the beginnings of anguish.

⁹ And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these must first be; but the end not immediately.

¹⁹ In your patience possess ye your souls.

³⁷ For I say to you, that this written must yet be finished in me, that, Also was he reckoned with the lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.

¹ Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, and believe in me.

²⁷ Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be timid.

²⁴ Saying, Fear not, Paul; Thou must stand before Caesar: and, behold, God has bestowed on thee as a gift all these sailing with thee. ²⁵ Wherefore, O men, be cheerful: for I believe God, that so it shall be as he has spoken to me. ²⁶ But we must fall upon a certain island.

² For you not to be quickly shaken in mind, neither be disturbed, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by epistle as by us, as that the day of Christ has drawn near.

¹⁴ But if ye also suffer for justice, happy are ye: be not afraid of their fear, neither be troubled; ¹⁵ And consecrate the Lord God in your hearts: and being ready always for a justification to every one asking you the word of the hope in you with meekness and fear:

⁶ And they dashed themselves, nation upon nation, and city upon city: for God disturbed them with all straits.

¹⁹ In the outpourings of Jehovah of armies the land was consumed, and the people will be as the food of fire: and they shall not pity a man to his brother. ²⁰ And he shall cut upon the right hand, and hungering; and he shall eat upon the left, and they were not satisfied: they shall eat a man the flesh of his arm. ²¹ Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: they being united against Judah. In all this his anger turned not back, and yet his hand stretched out

² And I aroused Egypt against Egypt, and they warred a man against his brother, and a man against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

¹⁹ And being broken, the earth was broken to pieces, and the earth being abolished, it was abolished; the earth being shaken, shook. ²⁰ The earth moving to and fro, shall move to and fro as the intoxicated, and it was removed as a lodge; and its transgression was heavy upon it and it fell, and it shall not add to rise. ²¹ And it was in that day Jehovah shall review upon the army of the height upon the height, and upon the kings of the earth upon the earth. ²² And they gathered a collection of the bound into the dungeon. and they were shut up into a shutting up, and after many days they shall be reviewed. ²³ And the moon blushed, and the sun was ashamed, for Jehovah of armies reigned in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and was honored before his old men.

²¹ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Also if I sent my four evil judgments, sword and famine, and the evil beast, and death to Jerusalem, to cut off from it man and cattle?

²⁷ Perverted, perverted, perverted, will I set her: and this was not till he came which to him the judgment; and I gave him.

³⁰ And I gave wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke. ³¹ The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and the terrible day of Jehovah.

²¹ Say to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I shake the heavens and the earth. ²² And I overturned the throne of kingdoms, and I destroyed the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I overturned the chariot and those riding it; and the horses and their horsemen came down, a man by the sword of his brother.

² And I gathered all the nations against Jerusalem for war; and the city was taken, and the houses were plundered, and the women shall be ravished; and half the city shall go forth into captivity, and the people being left shall not be cut off from the city. ³ And Jehovah went forth and waged war with these nations as the day of his warring in the day of encounter. ⁴ And his feet stood in that day upon the mount of Olives which is upon the face of Jerusalem from the east; and the mount of Olives was cleft asunder from its half from the sunrising and the sea, and a very great valley; and half of the mountain removed to the north, and its half to the south.

¹³ And it was in that day there shall be great consternation of Jehovah among them; and they laid hold each upon the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall come up upon the hand of his neighbor.

¹¹ And great earthquakes in places, and famines, and scourges shall be; and terrific objects and great signs shall be from heaven.

²⁵ And signs shall be in the sun, and moon, and stars; and upon earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and commotion resounding. ²⁶ Men losing breath for fear and expectation of things coming on the habitable globe: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

¹⁹ And I will give wonders in heaven above, and signs upon the earth below; blood, and fire, and steam of smoke:

²⁸ And one of them having risen, Agabus by name, signified by the Holy Spirit a great famine was about to be upon the whole habitable globe: which was during Claudius Caesar.

²⁷ And the Yet once more, makes manifest the transferring the things shaken, as of things made, that the things not being shaken might remain.

⁸ And I saw, and behold a pale horse: and he sitting above him the name to him Death, and Hades follows with him. And power was given to them to kill upon the fourth of the earth, with sword, and by famine, and by death, and by wild beasts of the earth.

¹² And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and, behold, there was a great shaking; and the sun was black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon was as blood;

¹⁸ And if yet these ye will not hear to me, I added to chastise you seven times for your sins. ¹⁹ And I broke the pride of your strength: and I gave your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: ²⁰ And your strength shall be exhausted to no purpose: and your land shall not give its produce, and the tree of the land shall not give its fruit ²¹ And if ye shall go hostile with me, and shall not be willing to hear to me, and I added upon you seven blows for your sins. ²² And I sent upon you the beast of the field, and it bereaved you of children, and cut off your cattle, and, diminished you, and your ways were laid waste. ²³ And if by these ye will not be admonished by me, and ye went hostile with me; ²⁴ And I went also hostile with you, and I struck you, also I, seven for your sins. ²⁵ And I brought upon you the sword to avenge vengeance of the covenant: and ye were gathered into your cities and I sent death in the midst of you, and ye were given into the hand of the enemy. ²⁶ In my breaking to you the rod of bread, and ten women baked your bread in one oven, and they returned your bread by weight: and ye ate, and ye shall not be satisfied. ²⁷ And if by this ye shall not hear to me, and ye went hostile with me; ²⁸ And I went hostile with you in anger; and I chastised you, I also, seven for your sins. ²⁹ And ye ate the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

⁵⁹ And Jehovah made thy smiting wonderful, and the smitings of thy seed, great and lasting blows, and evil and lasting diseases.

¹² Aram from the east, and the rovers from behind; and they will eat up Israel with all the mouth. In all this his anger was not turned back, and yet his hand stretched out

¹⁷ For this upon their young men Jehovah shall not rejoice, and their orphans and their widows he will not compassionate; for they all are polluted and doing evil, and every mouth speaking folly. In all this his anger turned not back, and yet his hand stretched out

²¹ Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: they being united against Judah. In all this his anger turned not back, and yet his hand stretched out

⁴ Not to bow under the bound, and they shall fell under the slain; in all this his anger turned not back, and yet his hand stretched out

³ For when they say, Peace and security; then sudden ruin is upon them, as anguish in her with child; and they may not escape.

¹⁷ For the time for judgment to have begun from the house of God: and if first from us, what the end of them not believing the good tidings of God? ¹⁸ And if the just one with difficulty be saved, where shall the irreligious and sinful appear

¹⁷ And hold ye from men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their assemblies will they scourge you. ¹⁸ And ye shalt be brought before leaders and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. ¹⁹ And when they deliver you up, have no care how or what ye should speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. ²⁰ For ye yourselves are not speaking, but the spirit of your father speaking in you. ²¹ And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child: and children shall rise up in revolt against parents, and kill them. ²² And ye shall be hated by all for my name: and he having remained to the end shall be saved.

⁶ And the rest, having seized his servants, were insolent, and killed them.

³⁴ Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and the wise, and scribes: and of them shall ye kill and crucify; and of them shall ye chastise in your assemblies, and drive out from city to city,

⁹ And see ye to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues shall ye be stripped: and shall be set before rulers and kings for my sake, for testimony to them. ¹⁰ And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations. ¹¹ And when delivering up, they bring you, take no care beforehand what ye speak, neither bestow attention: but whatever should be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for not ye are speaking, but the Holy Spirit. ¹² And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and kill them. ¹³ And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake: and he having remained to the end, the same shall be saved.

⁴⁹ And for this said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and the sent, and of them shall they kill and drive out:

¹² And before all these shall they cast their hands upon you, and drive out, delivering to assemblies, and prisons, being brought before kings and leaders for my name's sake.

¹⁶ And ye shall also be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and they shall put of you to death. ¹⁷ And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake.

¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they expelled me, they will also expel you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

² They shall make you excluded from the synagogue: but the hour comes that every one having slain you should think to bring service to God.

² Being exercised because they taught the people, and announced in Jesus the rising up from the dead. ³ And they put hands upon them, and set in guard for the morrow: for it was already evening.

⁴⁰ And by him they were persuaded: and having called the sent, having stripped, they enjoined not to speak in the name of Jesus, and loosed them. ⁴¹ Truly therefore they went rejoicing from the face of the council, that for his name they were deemed worthy to be dishonoured.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, calling upon, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

¹ And at that time Herod the king laid hands upon to injure certain of the church. ² And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. ³ And having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added also to take Peter. (They were the days of unleavened bread.) ⁴ And having seized, he put him in prison, having delivered to four quaternions of soldiers to watch him; wishing after the pascha to bring him to the people. ⁵ Truly therefore was Peter kept in prison: and prayer was made continually by the church to God for him.

³¹ And seeking to kill him, a rumor went up to the captain of a thousand of the band, that the whole of Jerusalem had been embroiled. ³² Who having taken out of it the soldiers and centurions, he ran down to them: and they having seen the captain of a thousand and the soldiers, ceased striking Paul.

¹⁹ And I said, Lord, these know that I was imprisoning and skinning in the synagogues them believing on thee: ²⁰ And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I myself was standing by, and assenting to his murder, and watching the garments of them murdering him. ²¹ And he said to me, Go: for I will send thee far off to the nations. ²² And they heard him to this word, and lifted up their voices, saying, Take away such a one from the earth: for it is not suitable for him to live.

²² And we desire to hear from thee what thou thinkest: for truly of this sect it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against.

¹⁴ For ye, brethren, were imitators of the churches of God being in Judea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things by your own race, as they also by the Jews: ¹⁵ They also having slain the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and having driven you out; and not pleasing God, and opposite to all men; ¹⁶ Hindering us from speaking to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: and the wrath of God has come before upon them even to the end.

¹⁶ And if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; and let him praise God in this portion.

¹⁰ Neither be afraid of what things thou art about to suffer: behold, the accuser is about to cast of you into prison, that ye might be tried; and ye shall have pressure ten days: be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

¹³ I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan: and thou holdest my name, and hast not denied my faith, and in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness, who was slain with you, where Satan dwells.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of the slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they had: ¹⁰ And they cried with a great voice, saying, Till when, Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood of them dwelling upon earth ¹¹ And to each were given white robes; and it was said to them, that they should rest for a little time, till also their fellowservants be filled up, about to be killed, as also they.

¹⁴ And I said to him, Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they coming out of great pressure, and they washed their robes, and whitened their robes in the blood of the Lamb.

⁵ Ye shall not trust in a companion, ye shall not confide in a friend: watch the doors of thy mouth from her lying in thy bosom. ⁶ For the son despising the father, the daughter rising up against her mother, the bride against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies the men of his house.

²¹ And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child: and children shall rise up in revolt against parents, and kill them.

³⁵ For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the bride against her mother-in-law. ³⁶ And a man's enemies, they pertaining to his household.

⁶ And happy is he who shall not give cause of offence in me.

²¹ And has no root in himself, but is for a time; and there being pressure or expulsion for the word, straightly is he offended.

⁵⁷ And they were scandalized in him. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not unhonoured, except in his native land, and in his house.

²¹ And they eating, he said, Truly I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up. ²² And they being greatly grieved, began each of them to say to him, Far from it am I, O Lord: ²³ And he having answered, said, He having dipped with me the hand in the small dish, the same shall deliver me up. ²⁴ Truly the Son of man retires as has been written concerning him; and woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up! it was good for him if that man had not been born.

³¹ Then says Jesus to them, All ye shall be scandalized in me this night; for it has been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered up and down. ³² And after I be raised, I will lead before you into Galilee. ³³ And Peter having answered, said to him, And if all men shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized. ³⁴ Jesus says to him, Truly I say to thee that in this night, before the cock utters a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice.

¹⁷ And have no root in themselves, but are temporary; then pressure having been or expulsion for the word, quickly are they scandalized.

¹² And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and kill them.

¹⁶ And ye shall also be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and they shall put of you to death.

⁶⁰ Then many of his disciples, having heard, said, This is a hard word; who can hear it ⁶¹ And Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmur for this, said to them, Does this offend you?

⁶⁶ From this many of his disciples went away back, and walked no more with him. ⁶⁷ Then said Jesus to the twelve, And ye will not go away?

¹⁵ Thou knowest this, that all they dwelling in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

¹⁰ For Demas has forsaken me, having loved the time now, and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

¹⁶ In my first defence none was present with me, but all forsook me; (may it not be reckoned to them.)

¹⁵ And hold from false prophets which come in to you in sheep's dresses, but within they are rapacious wolves.

⁵ For many shall come upon my name, saying, I am Christ; and deceive many.

³⁰ And of yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to tear away disciples after them.

¹ And the Spirit says expressly, that in later times some shall be removed from the faith, holding to deceitful spirits, and doctrines of evil spirits;

¹ And also were there false prophets among the people, as also among you shall be false teachers, who shall privately bring in doctrines of perdition, and denying the master having purchased them, having brought upon themselves swift destruction.

²⁶ These I wrote to you concerning them deceiving you.

⁴ For certain men entered in by stealth, long ago written of beforehand for judgment, irreligious, having changed the grace of our God into licentiousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁰ And the wild beast was seized, and with him the false prophet having done signs before him, with which he deceived them having received the stamp of the wild beast, and them worshipping his image. Living, were they two cast into the lake of fire burning with sulphur.

¹ Whence wars and fights among you? are they not hence, out of your sensual pleasures making war in your members ² Ye eagerly desire, and have not: ye kill, and are zealous, and cannot succeed: ye fight and wage war, and ye have not, because ye ask not. ³ Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask wickedly that ye might expend upon your sensual pleasures. ⁴ Adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is the enmity of God? whoever therefore would wish to be the friend of the world is set the enemy of God.

¹ Come on now, ye rich, weep, uttering loud cries of grief for the misfortunes coming upon you. ² Your riches have become corrupted, and your garments have been moth eaten; ³ Your gold and silver is become rusty; and their rust shall be for a witness to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have gathered up treasures in the last days. ⁴ Behold, the hire of laborers having reaped your farms, withheld by you, cries out, and the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. ⁵ Ye have led a luxurious life upon the earth, and have rioted in luxury; ye have nourished your hearts, as in the day of slaughter. ⁶ Ye have condemned, ye have killed the just one; and he resists you not.

⁴ But I have against thee, for thou hest let go thy first love. ⁵ Therefore remember whence thou hest fallen, and repent, and do the first works; and if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will move the chandelier out of its place, except thou repent.

¹⁵ I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor boiling: I would thou shouldest be cold or boiling.

²² And ye shall be hated by all for my name: and he having remained to the end shall be saved.

⁶ And ye will be about to hear of wars and rumors of war: see, be not terrified; for all must be, but the end is not yet.

¹³ And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake: and he having remained to the end, the same shall be saved.

¹⁵ And that in the good earth, they are they which, in a fair and good heart, having heard, keep the word, and bring forth fruit with patience.

⁷ To them truly by perseverance of the good work they seek glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

⁸ Who also shall make you firm even to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁶ And Christ as a son over his house: whose house are we, if we should hold freedom of speech and the boast of hope firm to the end.

¹⁴ For we have been partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our foundation firm to the end;

³⁹ And we are not of drawing down to perdition; but of faith to the acquisition of the soul.

⁵ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: An evil, one evil, behold, coming ⁶ An end came, the end came: it awaked against thee; behold, it came. ⁷ The circle came to thee, thou inhabiting the land: the time came, the day of consternation drew near, and not the shout of joy of the mountains.

¹⁰ Behold the day, behold, it came: the circle shall go forth; the rod blossomed, pride flourished.

²³ And Jesus went about the whole of Galilee, teaching in their assemblies, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing disease, and every weakness in the people.

³⁵ And Jesus went about all the cities and towns, teaching in their assemblies, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every weakness in the people.

⁷ And going, proclaim, saying, That the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.

¹⁹ Again, I say to you, That if two of you agree in opinion for everything which they ask, it shall be to them of my Father, he in the heavens.

³ And sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him apart, saying, Say to us when these shall be, and what the sign of thy arrival, and the termination of the time.

¹⁵ And he said to them, Having gone into all the world proclaim the good news to all creation. ¹⁶ And he having believed and having been immersed shall be saved; but he not having believed shall be condemned.

¹ And it was in those days an order came out from Caesar Angustus, for the whole habitable globe to be enrolled.

⁵ And the devil, bringing him into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable globe in an instant of time.

⁴⁷ And repentance and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, having begun from Jerusalem.

² Till the day having commanded the sent whom he chose through the Holy Spirit, he was taken up:

⁶ And not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, That those having subverted the habitable globe, these also are present here;

²⁵ And now, behold, I know that all ye shall see my face no more, among whom I passed through, proclaiming the kingdom of God.

¹⁸ But I say, Have they not heard? Surely, in all the earth went out their sound, and their words to the end of the habitable globe.

¹⁸ For I shall dare to speak nothing that Christ has not brought about by me, for the obedience of the nations, by word and by work, ¹⁹ By power of signs and wonders, by power of the Spirit of God, so that I from Jerusalem, and round about even to Illyricum, have completed the good news of Christ. ²⁰ And so seeking the honour to announce the good news, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon a strange foundation: ²¹ But as has been written, to whom it was not announced of him, they shall see: and they who have not heard shall understand.

²⁵ And to him being able to support you according to my good news, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent from eternal times, ²⁶ And now made manifest, also by the prophetic writings according to the command of the eternal God, for the obedience of faith made known to all nations:

⁶ Being present to you as also in all the world; and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day which ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth:

²³ If indeed ye remain in the faith, founded and firmly fixed, and not moved aside from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I Paul was a servant;

¹⁰ For thou didst keep the word of my patience, and I will keep thee from the hour of temptation, about to come upon the whole habitable globe, to try them dwelling upon the earth.

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the lasting good news to announce to them dwelling upon the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people,

¹⁴ For they are the spirits of demons, doing signs, to go out upon all the kings of the earth and of the whole habitable globe, to gather them together for the war of that great day of God, the Omnipotent Ruler.

⁴ And the man will speak to me, Son of man, see with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart to all which I cause thee to see; for in order to cause thee to see thou went brought hither: announce all which thou seest to the house of Israel.

²³ In the beginning of thy supplications the word came forth, and I came to announce; for thou art desires: and understand thou in the word, and consider in the sight

²⁵ And thou shalt know and understand, from the going forth of the word to turn back and to build Jerusalem even to Messiah the leader, seventy weeks, and sixty and two weeks: and the street shall turn back and be built, and the ditch, in the trouble of the times.

²⁷ And he made strong the covenant to many one week: and half the week he shall cause the sacrifice and gift to cease, and upon the wing of abominations laying waste, even to the completion, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolation.

¹² And he will say to me, Thou shalt not fear, Daniel: for from the first day that thou gavest thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I came for thy words. ¹³ And the chief of the kingdom of Persia stood against me twenty and one days: and behold, Michael, one of the first chiefs, came, to help me;: and I was left there near the kings of Persia. ¹⁴ And I came to cause thee to understand what shall happen to thy people in the last of the days: for yet the vision for days.

³¹ And seed from him shall stand up, and they profaned the holy place of strength, and they removed the Continuance, and they gave the abomination laying waste.

¹¹ And from the time of removing the continuance, and to give the abomination laying waste, a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

¹⁴ And when ye see the abomination of desolation, that spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him reading understand,) then let them in Judea flee to the mountains:

⁴³ For the days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and keep thee together from all sides,

²⁰ And when ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its devastation has drawn near.

⁴⁸ If we let him thus go, all will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away also our place and nation.

¹³ And set false witnesses, saying, This man ceases not speaking defaming words against this holy place, and the law:

²⁸ Crying out, Men, Israelites, help: This is the man, teaching all, everywhere, against the people, and the law, and this place: and yet also brought the Greeks into the temple, and has polluted this holy place.

¹ For this ought we to hold above measure to the things heard, lest we slip away.

³ Happy he reading, and they hearing the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it, for the time is near.

²² He having ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

¹⁵ And when the dawn arose, the messengers will hasten upon Lot, saying, Rise up, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, being found, lest thou shalt be destroyed in the iniquity of the city. ¹⁶ And he shall linger, and the men will hold fast upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; in Jehovah's having compassion upon him; and they shall bring him forth, and lead him without the city. ¹⁷ And it shall be when having brought them forth without, he will say, Escape for thy life; thou shalt not look behind thee, and thou shalt not stay in all the circuit: escape to the mountain, lest thou shalt be destoyed.

²⁰ He fearing the word of Jehovah from the servants of Pharaoh, caused his servants to flee, and his cattle to the houses. ²¹ And he who set not his heart to the word of Jehovah, will leave his servants and his cattle in the field.

³ The crafty saw evil, and he will hide, and the simple passed on and were punished.

¹ Be strong, ye sons of Benjamin, from the midst of Jerusalem, and in Tekoa strike the trumpet, and lift up a lifting up upon the house of the vineyard, for evil overhung from the north, and great breaking.

¹¹ And it was in the going up of the army of the Chaldees from the face of the army of Pharaoh. ¹² And Jeremiah went forth from Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin to distribute from thence in the midst of the people.

²¹ Then let those in Judea flee to the mountain; and those in the midst of her withdraw; and let those in the countries not go into her. ²² For these are the days of vengeance, that all things having been written, should be completed.

⁷ By faith Noah, having an intimation of the divine will of things not yet seen, being circumspect, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; by which he condemned the world, and by faith became an heir of justice.

⁸ When thou shalt build a new house thou shalt make a ledge to thy roof, and thou shalt not put bloods upon thy house, if he shall fall from it.

²⁵ And they will go down from Bamah to the city, and he will speak to Saul upon the roof.

⁴ And the adversary will answer Jehovah and say, Skin for skin, and all which is to a man he will give for his soul.

⁴ Thou shalt not give sleep to thine eyes, and slumber to thine eyelashes. ⁵ Deliver thyself as the roe from the hand, and as the bird from the hand of the fowler.

²⁵ For this I say to you, Be not anxious about your soul, what ye eat, and what ye drink; nor about your body, what ye put on. Is not the soul more than food, and the body than dress?

²⁷ What I say to you in darkness, speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the houses.

¹⁵ And he upon the house, let him not come down into the house, nor let him come in, to take any thing away out of his house: ¹⁶ And he being in the field, let him not turn back to take up his garment.

¹⁹ And not finding how they might bring him in, for the crowd, having ascended upon the house, they put him down through the tiles, with the small couch, in the midst before Jesus.

³ Therefore whatever ye have said in darkness shall be heard in light; and what ye spake to the ear in storehouses shall be proclaimed upon house tops.

³¹ In that day, whoever shall be upon the house, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he in the fields, likewise let him not turn back behind. ³² Remember Lot's wife. ³³ Whoever should seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever shall lose it, shall preserve it alive.

⁹ And the morrow, these travelling, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up upon the house to pray about the sixth hour:

⁵³ And thou atest the fruit of thy belly, the flesh of thy sons and thy daughters, which Jehovah thy God gave to thee, in the distress and in the straitness which thine enemy shall press upon thee: ⁵⁴ The man tender in thee, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil upon his brother, and upon the wife of his bosom, and upon the remainder of his sons which he shall leave: ⁵⁵ The gift to one of them of the flesh of his sons which he shall eat from: nothing remaining to him of all things in the distress and in the straitness which his enemy shall press upon thee in all thy gates. ⁵⁶ She tender and delicate in thee, who tried not to set the sole of her foot upon the earth from delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil upon the husband of her bosom, and upon her son, and upon her daughter,

⁴ And to Jonathan, Saul's son, a son smitten in the feet: he was the son of five years in the news coming of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, and his nurse will lift him up and flee: and it will be in her springing up to flee, and he will fall, and he will be lame: and his name Mephibosheth.

¹⁶ Then Menahem will strike Tiphsah and all which was in her, and her bounds from Tirzah: for it was not opened, and he will strike; all those being pregnant in it he clave asunder.

³ Also the dragons draw out the breast, they suckled their sucklings: the daughter of my people violent as the ostriches in the desert. ⁴ The tongue of the suckling adhered to his palate in thirst: the young children asked for bread, none breaking bread to them.

¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women boiled their children: they were for food to them in the breaking of the daughter of my people.

¹⁶ Shomeron shall be guilty, for she rebelled against her God: by the sword shall they fall: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and they having conceived shall be cleft asunder. ¹⁷ And woe to them having in the womb, and to them giving suck in those days! ¹⁸ And pray ye that your flight be not of winter.

²³ And woe to them having in the womb, and to them giving suck, in those days! for there shall be great necessity upon the land, and anger upon this people.

²⁹ For, behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and the wombs which never brought forth, and the breasts which gave not suck. ³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us.

²⁹ See, for Jehovah gave to you the Sabbath; for this be gave to you in the sixth day, bread of two days: sit ye each in his station; a man shall not go forth from his place in the seventh day.

¹² Then returned they to Jerusalem from the mount called Olive, which is near Jerusalem, having the way of a sabbath.

²² Their table shall be before them for a snare, for a retribution, for a cause of ruin. ²³ Their eyes shall be darkened from seeing, and cause their loins to waver always. ²⁴ Pour out upon them thy wrath, and the burning of thins anger shall overtake then). ²⁵ Their fortress shall be desolated, and in their tents there shall none be dwelling. ²⁶ For whom thou didst strike they pursued; and they will relate to the pain of thy wounded. ²⁷ Thou wilt give iniquity to their iniquity, and they shall not come into thy justice. ²⁸ They shall be wiped off from the book of the living, and with the just they shall not be written.

¹² And I numbered you to the sword, and ye all shall bend to the slaughter, because I called, and ye answered not: I spake and ye heard not; and ye will do evil in mine eyes, and in what I delighted not, ye chose. ¹³ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Behold, my servants shall eat and ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink and ye shall thirst: behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be ashamed. ¹⁴ Behold, my servants shall shout from good of heart, but ye shall cry from pain of heart, and wail from breaking of spirit ¹⁵ And ye set down your name for a curse to my chosen: and the Lord Jehovah slaying thee, and he will call his servants another name. ¹⁶ That he praising himself in the earth shall praise himself in the true God; and he swearing in the earth, shall swear in the true God; for the former straits were forgotten, and because they were hid from mine eyes.

¹⁵ For behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and his chariots as a whirlwind, to turn back in the wrath of his anger, and his rebuke in flames of fire. ¹⁶ For with fire and with sword Jehovah judged all flesh: and the wounded of Jehovah were many.

²⁶ And after sixty and two weeks, Messiah shall be cut off, and not for him: and the people of the leader coming shall destroy the city and the holy place; and its end with an overflowing, and even to the end of the war desolations were determined.

¹ And in that time Michael the great chief shall stand up, he standing for the sons of thy people: and it was a time of straits that was not from there being a nation, even to that time: and in that time thy people shall escape, every one being found written in the book.

² Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the earth. Was this in your days, and if in the days of your fathers?

² A day of darkness and of thick darkness; a day of cloud and gloom as the morning spread upon the mountains: great and strong people; the like to him was not from forever, and after him there shall not be added even to the years of generation and generation.

⁸ And I will conceal three shepherds in one month; and my soul will be shortened for them, and also their soul loathed for me. ⁹ And saying, I will not feed you: the dying shall die, and the concealed shall be concealed; and they being left shall eat each the flesh of her neighbor.

² And I gathered all the nations against Jerusalem for war; and the city was taken, and the houses were plundered, and the women shall be ravished; and half the city shall go forth into captivity, and the people being left shall not be cut off from the city. ³ And Jehovah went forth and waged war with these nations as the day of his warring in the day of encounter.

¹ For behold, the day coming, burning as a furnace; and all the proud and all doing injustice were straw: and the day coming burnt them, said Jehovah of armies, that it shall not leave to them root and branch.

²⁹ And quickly after the pressure of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heavens, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken;

⁹ And see ye to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues shall ye be stripped: and shall be set before rulers and kings for my sake, for testimony to them.

⁴³ For the days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and keep thee together from all sides, ⁴⁴ And they shall level thee with the ground, and thy children in thee; they shall not leave in thee stone upon stone; because thou knewest not the time of thine inspection.

²⁴ And they shall fall by the mouth of the sword, and they shall be made captives in all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by all the nations, till the times of the nations should be completed.

¹⁶ Hindering us from speaking to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: and the wrath of God has come before upon them even to the end.

²⁶ For we sinning voluntarily after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there is left no more a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ But a certain terrible expectation of judgment and jealousy of fire, being about to devour the adversaries. ²⁸ Any one having rejected Moses' law, without compassion dies by two or three witnesses: ²⁹ Of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be deemed worthy. having trodden down the Son of God, and deemed the blood of the covenant common, in which he was consecrated, and having outraged the Spirit of grace?

¹³ And yet in it a tenth, and it turned back, and it was for consuming, as the terebinth and as the oak which in casting the trunk in them the holy seed its pillar.

⁸ Thus said Jehovah, As the new wine will be found in the cluster, and he will say, Thou shalt not destroy it, for a blessing in it: thus will I do for sake of my servant, to not destroy them all. ⁹ And I brought forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah he shall inherit my mountain: and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell their.

⁸ And it was in all the land, says Jehovah, two parts in it shall be cut off, they shall expire; and the third shall be left in it

² And I gathered all the nations against Jerusalem for war; and the city was taken, and the houses were plundered, and the women shall be ravished; and half the city shall go forth into captivity, and the people being left shall not be cut off from the city.

¹⁴ For many are called, and few chosen.

³¹ And he shall send his messengers, with the great voice of the trumpet, and they shall bring together his chosen from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to the extremities.

²⁰ And except the Lord shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but for the chosen whom he chose, he shortened the days.

⁷ And shall not God do the avenging of his chosen, crying to him day and night, being slow to anger toward them?

¹¹ (For not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that according to choice the purpose of God might remain, not of works, but of him calling;)

²⁵ For I will not ye should not know, brethren, this mystery, lest ye be wise with yourselves; for hardness from part has been to Israel, till the filling up of the nations come in. ²⁶ And so all Israel shall be saved: as has been written, The Deliverer shall come out of Sion, and turn away profanation from Jacob. ²⁷ And this the covenant to them with me, when I take away their sins. ²⁸ Truly concerning the good news, enemies for you: and concerning the selection, beloved for the fathers. ²⁹ For the favors and calling of God not causing repentance. ³⁰ For as also ye, when ye were disobedient to God, but now ye have been commiserated by the unbelief of these: ³¹ So they now also were disobedient, by your mercy that they also be commiserated.

¹⁰ For this I endure all things for the chosen, that they also might attain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

¹ When there shall arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he gave to thee a sign or a wonder, ² And the sign or the wonder come which he spake to thee, saying, We will go after other gods which we know not, and we will serve them, ³ Thou shalt not hear to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of dreams: for Jehovah thy God tries you to know whether ye are loving Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

²¹ And if any say to you, Behold, here Christ; or, behold, there; believe ye not:

²³ And they shall say to you, Behold here, or; behold there: go not away, nor pursue. ²⁴ For as lightning, flashing out from that under heaven, shines to that under heaven; so also shall be the Son of man in his day.

¹ When there shall arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he gave to thee a sign or a wonder,

³⁷ All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and he coming to me I will not cast out.

³⁹ And this is the will of the Father having sent me, that all which he has given me, I should not loose of it, but raise it up in the last day.

²⁸ And I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, who has given to me, is greater than all; . and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. ³⁰ I and my Father are one.

¹⁶ For Paul determined to sail to Ephesus, as it might not be to him to spend the time in Asia: for he hastened, if it were possible to him, to be in Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

²⁸ And we know that to them loving God, all things work together for good, to them being called according to the setting up. ²⁹ For whom he before knew, he also before determined of the form of the image of his Son, for him to be first born in many brethren. ³⁰ And whom he before determined, these he also called: and whom he called, these he also justified: and whom he justified, these he also glorified. ³¹ What then shall we say to these? if God with us, who against us? ³² Who truly spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, and how not with him will he freely give us all? ³³ Who shall demand payment for the chosen of God? God justifying. ³⁴ Who, he condemning Christ having died, and rather also raised again, who is at the right hand of God, and who intercedes for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? pressure, or perplexity, or expulsion, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ As has been written, That for thy sake we are killed the whole day; we were reckoned as sheep for slaughter. ³⁷ But in all these we obtain a complete victory by him having loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor beginnings, nor powers, nor things having stood, nor things about to be, ³⁹ Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹⁸ If possible of you, living peaceably with all men.

¹⁵ What then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that, if possible, having plucked out your eyes, ye would have given to me.

⁹ Whose arrival is according to the energy of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, ¹⁰ And in all deceit of iniquity in the lost; because they received not the love of the truth, for them to be saved. ¹¹ And for this, God shall send them the energy of error, for them to believe in falsehood:

¹⁹ Truly the firm foundation of God has stood, having this seal, The Lord knows them being his. And, Let every one naming the name of Christ remove from iniquity.

⁵ Who by the power of God watching ourselves by faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹⁷ You therefore, dearly beloved, knowing beforehand, watch, lest, led away by the error of the lawless, ye fall from your own stability.

¹⁸ We know that every one born of God sins not; but he born of God keeps himself, and evil touches him not.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, he deceiving the whole habitable globe: he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice saying in heaven, Now was salvation and power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ for the accuser of our brethren was cast down, he accusing them before our God, day and night. ¹¹ And they conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their souls till death.

⁷ And it was given him to make war with the holy, and to conquer them: and power was given him over every tribe, and tongue, and nation. ⁸ And all they dwelling upon earth shall worship him, whose names have not been written in the book of life of the slain Lamb from the foundation of the world.

¹³ And he does great signs, that also he might make fire come down from heaven to the earth before men, ¹⁴ And he deceives them dwelling upon earth by the signs which were given him to do before the wild beast; saying to them dwelling upon earth, to make an image to the wild beast, who has the blow of the sword, and he lived.

⁷ And who as I shall call and announce it, and set it in order for me from my placing the people of old? and the things coming and that shall come, they shall announce to them. ⁸ Ye shall not tremble, and ye shall not be afraid: did I not from thence cause thee to hear? and I announced, and ye my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? and no rock; I knew not

¹⁰ Announcing the last part from the beginning, and from of old what was not done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my delight: ¹¹ Calling a ravenous beast from the sunrising, from a land afar off a man of my counsel: also I spake, also I will bring it; I formed, also I will do it.

⁵ I will announce to thee from then; before it shall come I caused thee to hear, lest thou shalt say, My image did them; and my carved image, and my Molten image commanded them. ⁶ Thou heardest, seeing it all; and will ye not announce? I caused thee to hear new things from now, and hidden things, and thou knewest them not

¹³ And it shall turn out to you for a testimony.

¹ These have I spoken, that ye should not be offended.

³ The voice of him calling in the desert, Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, make straight in the sterile region a highway for our God.

¹ In these days John the Baptist is present, proclaiming in the desert of Judea; ² Upon Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of And was upon John, son of Zacharias in the desert. ³ And he came into all the country round about Jordan, proclaiming the immersion of repentance for remission of sins;

³⁸ Art not thou then the Egyptian, who before these days having risen up, and having brought into the desert four thousand men of murderers?

³ He will let it go free under all the heavens, and his light upon the wings of the earth.

³⁵ Shalt thou send lightnings, and shall they go and shall they say to thee, Behold us?

³⁰ And Jehovah caused the swelling of his voice to be heard, and he will cause the letting down of his arm to be seen in the anger of his wrath, and the flame of a consuming fire, violent rain and tempest, and the stone of hail,

¹⁴ And Jehovah will be seen upon them, and his arrow shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord Jehovah will strike upon the trumpet, and he went with tempests of the south.

² And who enduring the day of his coming? and who standing in his being seen? for he is as the fire of the crucible, as the alkali of the fuller.

⁵ Behold, I send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the day of Jehovah, great and terrible:

²⁰ And Jesus says to him, The foxes have dens, and the fowls of heaven occupy nests; but the Son of man has not where he might recline the head.

²⁸ Verily I say to you, Some are standing here, who should not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

²⁴ For as lightning, flashing out from that under heaven, shines to that under heaven; so also shall be the Son of man in his day. ²⁵ And first must he suffer many things, and be disapproved of by this generation. ²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man. ²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day which Noe came into the ark, and the overflow came, and destroyed all. ²⁸ And likewise as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; ²⁹ And the day which Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all. ³⁰ According to these shall be the day in which the Son of man is revealed. ³¹ In that day, whoever shall be upon the house, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he in the fields, likewise let him not turn back behind. ³² Remember Lot's wife. ³³ Whoever should seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever shall lose it, shall preserve it alive. ³⁴ I say to you, that night shall be two upon one bed; one shall be taken, and the other let go. ³⁵ Two females shall be grinding together; one shall be taken, and the other let go. ³⁶ [Verse 36 is wanting (Missing) in most of the Greek copies.] ³⁷ And having answered, they say to him, Where, Lord And he said to them, Where the body, there shall the eagles be gathered together.

⁸ Be longsuffering, ye also; make your hearts firm: for the arrival of the Lord has drawn near.

⁴ And saying, Where is the solemn promise of his presence? for from the time the fathers were set to sleep, so continue all things from the beginning of creation.

⁴⁹ Jehovah shall raise up against thee a nation from far off, from the extremity of the earth, as the eagle shall fly, whose tongue thou shalt not hear;

²⁷ If at thy mouth the eagle will lift itself up, and if it will raise up its nest? ²⁸ She will dwell in the rock, and she will lodge upon the cliff of the rock and the fortress. ²⁹ From thence it sought food; far off shall its eyes behold. ³⁰ Her young shall suck up the blood: and where the wounded, there is she.

¹⁶ Behold me sending for many fishers, says Jehovah, and they fished them; and after this I will send for many hunters, and they hunted them from every mountain, and from every hill, and from the clefts of the rocks.

¹ I saw Jehovah standing upon the altar: and he will say, Strike the crown, and the thresholds shall tremble: and dash them in pieces upon the head of them all; and the last of them I will slay with the sword: the fleeing to them shall not flee, and he escaping to them shall not escape. ² If they shall break through into hades, from thence shall my hand take them; and if they shall go up to the heavens, from thence I will bring them down. ³ And if they shall hide in the head of Carmel, from thence will I search and take them; and if they shall be concealed from before mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, from thence I will command the serpent, and he bit them. ⁴ If they shall go into captivity before the face of their enemies, from thence I will command the sword and it slew them: and I set mine eyes upon them for evil and not for good.

³⁷ And having answered, they say to him, Where, Lord And he said to them, Where the body, there shall the eagles be gathered together.

¹⁰ For the stars of the heavens and the giants of the sky shall not shine their light: the sun was darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

²³ And the moon blushed, and the sun was ashamed, for Jehovah of armies reigned in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and was honored before his old men.

⁴ And all the army of the heavens melted, and the heavens shall roll together as a book, and all their army shall fall away as the leaf falling from the vine, and as a falling from the fig tree.

²³ I saw the earth, and behold, emptiness and a void; and to the heavens, and no lights. ²⁴ I saw the mountains, and behold them trembling, and all the hills were shaken. ²⁵ I saw, and behold, no man, and all the birds of the heavens fled away. ²⁶ I saw, and behold, Carmel a desert, and all its cities were broken down from the face of Jehovah, from the face of the heat of his anger. ²⁷ For thus said Jehovah, All the earth shall be a desert; and I will not make a completion. ²⁸ For this, shall the earth mourn, and the heavens became dark from above: because I spake, I purposed, I lamented not, and I will not turn back from it

⁷ And I covered the heavens in my quenching thee, and I darkened their stars; and I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not enlighten with its light ⁸ All the luminaries of light in the heavens I will darken them over thee, and I gave darkness upon thy land, says the Lord Jehovah.

¹¹ I was seeing at that time from the voice of the great words that the horn was speaking: I was seeing even till that the beast was killed and its body destroyed, and it was given to the burning fire. ¹² And the rest of the beasts they took away their power: and length in life was given to them for a season and time.

¹⁰ The earth was moved before his face; the heavens trembled: the sun and the moon were darkened, and the stars took away their shining:

¹⁵ The sun and the moon were darkened, and the stars took away their shining.

²⁰ Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness and not light? and dark and no shining to it?

⁹ And it was in that day, says the Lord Jehovah, I caused the sun to set at noon, and I darkened the light to the earth in that day:

¹⁴ The great day of Jehovah is near, it is near and hastening greatly, the voice of the day of Jehovah: the strong one cried there bitterly. ¹⁵ A day of wrath, that day a day of straits and distress, a day of storm and desolation, a day of darkness and thick darkness, a day of cloud and gloom,

⁸ And all these the beginning of anguish.

²¹ For then shall be great pressure, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor should be.

²⁴ But in those days, after that pressure, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, ²⁵ And the stars of heaven shall be falling out, and the powers which in the heavens shall be shaken.

¹⁹ And I will give wonders in heaven above, and signs upon the earth below; blood, and fire, and steam of smoke: ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and distinguished day of the Lord come:

¹⁰ And the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a loud noise, and the elements, suffering from excessive heat, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it shall be burned down.

¹² And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and, behold, there was a great shaking; and the sun was black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon was as blood; ¹³ And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, shaken by a great wind. ¹⁴ And the heaven was separated as a book turned round; and every mount and isle were moved from their places. ¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the great, and the rich, and the captains of thousands, and the powerful, and every servant, and every one free, hid themselves in caves and in rocks of the mountains; ¹⁶ And they say to the mountains and rocks, Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him sitting upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: ¹⁷ For the great day of his wrath has come; and who can stand?

¹² And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and the third of the sun was stricken, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars; that a third of them might be darkened, and the day shone not, a third of it, and the night likewise.

¹³ I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, with the clouds of the heavens as the Son of man he came, and turning even to the Ancient of days; and they brought him near before him.

¹⁰ And I poured out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and supplications: and they looked to me whom they pierced, and they mourned for him as mourning for the only begotten, and being embittered for him as being embittered for the first-born.

²⁷ For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his messengers; and then he will give back to each according to his deed. ²⁸ Verily I say to you, Some are standing here, who should not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

⁶⁴ And Jesus says to him, Thou hast said: but I say to you, from henceforth ye shall see the Son of man, sitting from the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

⁴ Say to us, when shall be these things? and what the sign when all these be about to be finished?

²⁶ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with much power and glory.

⁶² And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting from the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. ⁶³ And the chief priest, having rent his tunic, says, What further need have we of witnesses ⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy; How does it appear to you? And they all condemned him to be liable to the penalty of death.

²⁷ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with much power and glory.

⁶⁹ From now shall the Son of man be sitting from the right hand of the power of God.

¹¹ And they said, Galilean men, why stand ye looking to heaven this Jesus, taken up from you to heaven, so shall he come which manner ye saw him going to heaven.

⁷ And to you being pressed a release with us, in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power,

⁷ Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they who goaded him: and all the tribes of the earth shall lament on account of him. Yes, Amen.

¹ And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, ² Make to thyself two trumpets of silver; turned work shalt thou make them: and they were to thee for calling the assembly and for the removing the camp. ³ And they sounded with them, and they assembled to thee all the assembly at the door of the tent of appointment ⁴ And if they shall sound with one, and to thee assembled the chiefs of the heads of the thousands of Israel. ⁵ And ye sounded the signal, and the camps encamping eastward, removed. ⁶ And ye sounded the signal the second time, and the camps encamping to the south, removed: they shall sound the signal for their removings. ⁷ And in the assembly being gathered together, ye shall sound, and shall not sound loud. ⁸ And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall sound with the trumpets; and they were to you for a law forever to your generations. ⁹ And when ye shall go out to war in your land against the enemy pressing you, and ye sounded the signal in the trumpets; and ye were remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye were saved from your enemies. ¹⁰ And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointments, and in the heads of your mouths, and ye shall sound with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace; and they were to you for a remembrance before your God: I am Jehovah your God.

⁴ If thy expelling shall be to the end of the heavens, from there thy God will gather thee, and from there he will take thee:

²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and shall turn back to Jehovah: and all the families of the nations shall worship before thee.

⁷ God shall bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

³ Strike ye the trumpet in the new in the full moon, for the day of our festival.

¹² And he lifted up a signal to the nations, and he gathered the outcasts of Israel, and he will collect the dispersed of Judah from the four wings of the earth.

⁵ Coming from a land from afar, from the extremity of the heavens, Jehovah and the vessels of his wrath to overthrow all the earth.

¹³ And it was in that day he shall strike upon the great trumpet, and they perishing came into the land of Assui, and the outcasts into the land of Egypt, and they worshiped to Jehovah in the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

¹⁰ Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the extremity of the earth, ye going down to the sea, and its fulness; the isles and their inhabitants.

⁶ Say to the north, Thou shalt give, and to the south thou shalt not withhold: bring in my sons from far off, and my daughters from the extremities of the earth;

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

¹⁸ Lift up round about thine eyes and see: they all gathered themselves together, they came to thee. I live, says Jehovah, thou shalt put them all on as an ornament, and thou shalt bind them as a bride.

⁴ Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gathered together, they came to thee: thy sons shall come from far off, and thy daughters shall be supported upon the side.

² Daniel answered and said, I was seeing in my vision by night, and lo, the four winds of the heavens rushing forth to the great sea.

⁶ Alas! alas! and flee ye from the land of the north, says Jehovah: for as the four winds of the heavens I spread you abroad, says Jehovah.

¹⁰ And I cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war was cut off: and he spake peace to the nations: and his dominion from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the end of the earth.

⁵ And ye fled to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to the side, and ye fled as ye fled from the face of the shaking in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah: and Jehovah my God came, all the holy ones with thee.

⁴¹ The Son of man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and those doing iniquity;

²² And except those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the chosen, those days shall be shortened.

³¹ And when the Son of man should come in his glory, and all his holy messengers with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

¹⁸ And Jesus, having come near, spake to them, saying, All power has been given me in heaven and upon earth:

²⁷ And then shall he send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from extremity of earth to extremity of heaven.

⁵² And not for the nation alone, but that also the children of God, scattered, should be gathered into one.

¹⁹ Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision: ²⁰ But to them in Damascus first, and Jerusalem, and all the country of Judea, and to the nations, announcing to change the mind, and to turn back to God, doing works worthy of change of mind.

⁵² In an atom, in the twinkling of the eye, in the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

¹⁰ For the arrangement of the completion of the times, to unite in a whole all things in Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon earth; in him:

¹⁶ For the Lord himself in the word of command, in the voice of the archangel, shall descend from heaven: and the dead in Christ shall be raised first:

¹ And we ask you, brethren, concerning the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our assembling together to him,

²⁰ The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven golden chandeliers. The seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches: and the seven chandeliers which thou sawest are the seven churches.

¹ And after these things I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind blow not upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree.

² And I saw the seven angels who stood before God; and seven trumpets were given to them.

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded the trumpet; and great voices were in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of the world were our Lord's, and his Christ's; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the lasting good news to announce to them dwelling upon the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people, ⁷ Saying with a great voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment has come: and worship ye him having made the heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. ⁸ And another angel followed, saying, She fell, Babylon fell, the great city, for all nations has she given to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. ⁹ And the third angel followed them, saying with a great voice, If any worship the wild beast and his image, and receive the stamp upon his forehead, or upon his hand,

²⁸ And from the fig tree learn ye a parable; When its young shoot be tender, and cause the leaves to grow, ye know that summer is near. ²⁹ So also ye, when ye see these things done, ye know that it is near at the door.

²⁹ And he spake to them a parable; See the fig tree, and all trees; ³⁰ When they should already throw forth, seeing of yourselves ye know that summer is already near.

² And thou son of man, thus said the Lord Jehovah to the land of Israel: An end, the end came upon the four corners of the land. ³ Now the end upon thee, and I sent mine anger against thee, and I judged thee according to thy ways, and I gave upon thee all thine abominations. ⁴ And mine eye shall not spare upon thee, and I will not pity: for I will give thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye knew that I am Jehovah. ⁵ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: An evil, one evil, behold, coming ⁶ An end came, the end came: it awaked against thee; behold, it came. ⁷ The circle came to thee, thou inhabiting the land: the time came, the day of consternation drew near, and not the shout of joy of the mountains. ⁸ The time drawing near I will pour out my wrath upon thee, and I completed mine anger against thee: and I judged thee according to thy ways, and I gave upon thee all thine abominations. ⁹ And mine eye shall not spare, and I will not pity: I will give upon thee according to thy ways, and thine abominations, they shall be in the midst of thee; and ye knew that I am Jehovah striking. ¹⁰ Behold the day, behold, it came: the circle shall go forth; the rod blossomed, pride flourished. ¹¹ Violence rose up for a rod of injustice: not from them, not from their multitude, and not from their confusion: and nothing eminent in them. ¹² The time came, the day drew near: he buying shall not rejoice, and he selling, shall not mourn: for burning upon all her multitude. ¹³ For he selling shall not turn back to the sale, and it was in their yet living: for the vision for all her multitude; it shall not turn back, and a man shall not be strengthened in his iniquity of his life. ¹⁴ They shall strike upon the trumpet, and to prepare all; and none went to the war: for my burning is upon all her multitude.

³⁷ For yet a little while only, he coming will come, and will not tarry.

⁹ Groan not against one another, brethren, that ye be not condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.

⁷ And the end of all has drawn near: be ye therefore of sound mind, and live abstemiously in prayers.

²⁰ Behold, I stand before the door, and knock: and if any hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

⁴⁵ Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits, worse than he, and having come in, they dwell there: and the last things of that man are worse than the first. So also shall it be to this evil generation.

³⁶ Truly I say to you, All these shall come upon this generation.

³⁰ Truly I say to you, that this generation should not pass away, till all these things should be. ³¹ Heaven and earth shall pass away, and my words shall not pass away.

⁵⁰ That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation;

³² Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, even till all things should be. ³³ Heaven and earth shall pass away: and my words shall not pass away.

¹⁹ God is not man, and will he lie? and the son of man, and will he grieve? Did he say, and will he not do? and speak, and will he not establish?

⁷ The law of Jehovah is blameless, turning back the soul; the testimonies of Jehovah being faithful, making wise the simple.

³⁴ I will not profane my covenant, and I will not change the going forth of my lips.

²⁶ They shall perish and thou shalt stand. And all they shall fall away as a garment; as clothing thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed.

⁵ All the word of God is purified: he a shield to those trusting in him.

⁸ The grass was dried up, the flower fell away: and the word of our God shall stand forever.

⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look to the earth from beneath: for the heavens as smoke vanished away, and the earth as a garment shall decay, and they inhabiting as thus shall die; and my salvation shall be forever, and my justice shall not be broken.

¹⁰ For the mountains shall remove and the hills shall waver; and my mercy shall not remove from thee, and the covenant of my peace shall not waver, said Jehovah compassionating thee.

¹¹ So shall be my word which went forth out of my mouth: it shall not turn back to me empty, but doing what I delighted in, and it shall prosper for what I send it

³⁵ Thus said Jehovah, giving the sun for light the day, the laws of the moon and the stars for a light the night., causing the sea to tremble, and its waves shall roar; Jehovah of armies his name. ³⁶ If these laws shall depart from my face, says Jehovah, also the seed of Israel shall cease from being a nation before me all the days.

¹⁸ For verily I say to you, Till heaven pass away, and earth, one iota, or one mark, should not pass away from the law, till all should be

² In hope of eternal life, (which God, not false, promised before eternal times;

¹¹ These shall be destroyed; but thou remainest; and they all as a garment shall grow old; ¹² And as a cloak shalt thou turn them round, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

²⁵ And the word of the Lord remains forever. And this is the word having announced good news to you.

⁷ And now the heavens and the earth, by the same word are stored up, being kept for fire to the day of judgment and of the perdition of irreligious men. ⁸ And let not this one thing be unknown to you, dearly beloved, that one day with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ⁹ The Lord puts not off the solemn promise, as some deem slowness; but is lonsuffering to us, not willing any to perish, but all should have room for repentance. ¹⁰ And the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a loud noise, and the elements, suffering from excessive heat, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it shall be burned down. ¹¹ Therefore all these being dissolved, of what race ought ye to be in holy turning round and devotion, ¹² Expecting and seeking earnestly the presence of the day of God, during which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements going to be burned are melted away?

¹⁴ And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; Thus says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

¹⁴ And the heaven was separated as a book turned round; and every mount and isle were moved from their places.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him sitting upon it, from the face of whom the earth and the heaven fled; and there was found no place for them.

⁷ And it was one day it shall be known to Jehovah, not day, and not night: and it was at the time of evening it shall be light

⁴² Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord comes.

⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also prepared: for what hour ye think not, the Son of man comes.

¹³ Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day, neither the hour, in which the Son of man comes.

³² And concerning that day and hour none knows, nor the messengers in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

² For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so comes.

³ Remember therefore how thou hast received, and heard, and do thou, and repent. If therefore thou watch not, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I shall come upon thee.

¹⁵ (Behold, I come as a thief. Happy he watching, and keeping his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.)

¹ And it shall be when man begins to multiply upon the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, ² And the sons of God will see the daughters of Adam that they are good, and they will take to them wives of all which they chose. ³ And Jehovah will say, My spirit will not forever be low in man, for that he is flesh and his days were one hundred and twenty years. ⁴ Giants were in the earth in these days, and also after that, when the sons of God shall come in to the daughters of man and they shall bring forth to them which are men of old, men of name. ⁵ And Jehovah will see that great the evil of man in the earth, and every formation of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the days. ⁶ And Jehovah will lament that he made man in the earth, and he will be grieved at his heart ⁷ And Jehovah will say, I will wipe out man whom I formed from above the face of the earth; from man even to cattle, even to the creeping thing and even to the birds of the heavens; and I was grieved that I made them.

⁶ And Noah the son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters was upon the earth. ⁷ And Noah shall come in, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him to the ark from the face of the water of the flood. ⁸ From clean beasts, and from cattle which are not clean, and from birds and all which creeps upon the earth. ⁹ Two and two went in to Noah to the ark, male and female, according to which God commanded Noah. ¹⁰ And it shall be seven days; and the waters of the flood shall be upon the earth. ¹¹ In the year of six hundred years of Noah's life, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in the same day all the fountains of the great deep were divided and the sluices of the heavens were opened. ¹² And the rain shall be upon the earth forty days and forty nights. ¹³ In that very day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; Noah's sons, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them to the ark. ¹⁴ They, and every living thing after its kind, and all cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing creeping upon the earth, after its kind, and every bird after his kind, and every small bird of every wing. ¹⁵ And they shall go in to Noah to the ark, two from all flesh in which is the breath of life. ¹⁶ And they going in, went in male and female from all flesh according to which God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him within. ¹⁷ And the flood shall be forty days upon the earth, and the waters shall multiply, and shall take up the ark, and it shall be lifted up from above the earth. ¹⁸ And the waters shall prevail and shall multiply exceedingly upon the earth: and the ark shall go upon the face of the waters. ¹⁹ And the waters prevailed exceedingly exceedingly upon the earth: and all the high mountains which are underneath all the heavens shall be covered. ²⁰ Fifteen cubits from upward, the waters prevailed: and will cover the mountains. ²¹ And all flesh shall die that creeping upon the earth, with birds and with cattle and with beast and with every creeping thing that creeping upon the earth, and every man. ²² All which the breath of the spirit of life in the nostrils of all which is in the dry land died. ²³ And every living thing shall be wiped off which upon the face of the earth, from man even to cattle, even to the creeping thing, and even to the birds of the heavens; and they shall be wiped out from the earth, and Noah only shall remain and they which with him in the ark.

¹⁵ Wilt thou watch the path of old which men of iniquity trod? ¹⁶ Who were laid hold of, and no time a river will pour out their foundation? ¹⁷ They saying to God, Depart fron us: and what shall the Almighty do for them?

²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man. ²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day which Noe came into the ark, and the overflow came, and destroyed all.

²⁰ They having been once unbelieving, when the longsuffering of God waited in Noah's days, the ark being prepared, in which few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. ²¹ By which also the figure, immersion, now saves us (not by laying aside of the filth of the flesh, but the question of a good. consciousness toward God,) by the rising up of Jesus Christ:

⁵ And spared not the old world, but Noah the eighth, a herald of justice, he watched, having brought an inundation upon the world of the irreligious;

⁶ By which then the world, overflowed with water, perished:

² And the sons of God will see the daughters of Adam that they are good, and they will take to them wives of all which they chose.

⁷ And Noah shall come in, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him to the ark from the face of the water of the flood.

³⁶ And Abigail will go to Nabal; and behold, to him a drinking in his house as the drinking of a king; and Nabal's heart good with him, and he was intoxicated even greatly; and she announced not to him a word small and great till the light of the morning. ³⁷ And it will be in the morning in the wine coming forth from Nabal, and his wife will announce to him these words, and his heart will die in the midst of him, and he was for a stone. ³⁸ And it will be about ten days, and Jehovah will strike Nabal, and he will die.

¹⁶ And he will bring him down, and behold them spread out upon the face of all the earth, eating and drinking and keeping a festival, for all the great spoil which they took from the land of the rovers, and from the land of Judah. ¹⁷ And David will smite them from the dawn and even to the evening to their morrow: and a man escaped not from them, except four hundred men of youth who rode upon camels, and they will flee.

¹² And the Lord Jehovah of armies in that day will call to weeping and to wailing, and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth: ¹³ And behold, gladness and joy, killing cattle and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: eat and drink, for to-morrow we shall die. ¹⁴ And it was uncovered in the ears of Jehovah of armies, If this iniquity shall be expiated to you till ye shall die, said the Lord Jehovah of armies.

⁴⁹ Behold, this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness of bread, security of rest was to her and to her daughters, and she strengthened not the hand of the poor and needy. ⁵⁰ And they will be proud, and they will do abomination before me: and I shall take them away according to what I saw.

³ Extending to the evil day, and ye will bring near the seat of violence; ⁴ Lying upon beds of ivory, and stretching out upon their couches, and eating the lambs from the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall. ⁵ Prating upon the mouth of the lyre, as David they invented to them instruments of music; ⁶ Drinking wine in vases, and they will anoint with the chief of ointments: and they were not grieved for the breaking of Joseph.

³⁰ For in the rising up they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers of God in heaven.

¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years; rest, eat, drink, be gladdened.

⁴⁵ And if that servant should say in his heart, My Lord delays to come; and should begin to strike the servants and maids, also to eat and drink, and to be intoxicated;

¹⁸ And from one they all began to conciliate. The first said to him, I bought a field, and have necessity to go and see it: I ask thee, have me pardoned. ¹⁹ And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I ask thee, have me pardoned. ²⁰ And another said, I have married wife, and therefore I cannot come.

²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man. ²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day which Noe came into the ark, and the overflow came, and destroyed all. ²⁸ And likewise as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

³⁴ And attend to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be loaded with dizziness, caused by excess, and drunkenness, and cares of life, and that day come upon you unexpectedly.

¹³ As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in revelries and drunkenness, not in coition and licentiousness, not in strife and envy. ¹⁴ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not consideration for the flesh, for the passions.

²⁹ And this I say, brethren, the time is restricted; as to the rest, that they also having wives should be as not having; ³⁰ And they weeping, as not weeping; and they rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and they buying, as not possessing. ³¹ And they using this world, as not using; for the form of this world passes away.

³⁴ And there will come forth from before against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men from all Israel, and the battle was heavy: and they knew not that evil touched upon them.

³⁵ They struck me, I was not pained; they beat me, I knew not: when shall I awake? I will add, I will yet seek it.

¹² If thou shalt say, Behold, we knew not this; will not he trying hearts, understand? and he guarding thy soul, knew? and he turned back to man according to his work.

⁷ The just one knew the judgment of the poor: the unjust one will not understand knowledge.

²⁵ And be will pour upon him the heat of his anger, and the strength of war: and it will burn him from round about, and he will not know; and it will feed upon him and he will not lay to the heart.

¹⁸ They will not know, and they will not discern: he spread over their eyes from seeing; their heart from considering. ¹⁹ And none will set to his heart; and not knowledge, and not understanding to say, Half of it I burnt in the fire; and also I baked bread upon its coals; I will roast flesh and eat: and its remainder shall I make for an abomination? shall I fall down to a trunk of wood?

¹³ For this I speak to them in parables: for seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. ¹⁴ And the prophecy of Esaias is filled up in them, saying, In hearing shall ye hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive. ¹⁵ For the heart of this people has been thickened, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes have they closed; lest perhaps they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I should heal them.

²⁰ For every one doing bad things hates the light, and he comes not to the light, lest his works should be rebuked.

⁴¹ See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, which ye would not believe if any recount to you.

²⁸ And as they chose not to have God in knowledge, God delivered them to an adulterated purpose, to do things not fitting;

⁵ For being willing this is unknown to them, that the heavens were a long while ago, and the earth having stood out of water and by water, by the word of God:

¹² And when straits were to him he besought the face of Jehovah his God, and he will humble himself greatly from before the God of his fathers. ¹³ And he will pray to him, and he will be entreated for him, and he will hear his supplication, and he will turn him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. And Manasseh knew that Jehovah he is God. ¹⁴ And after this he built a wall outside to the city of David from the west to Gihon, in the valley to the entering into the gate of fishes, and it turned round about to the hill, and he will lift it up greatly, and he will set chiefs of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah. ¹⁵ And he will remove the strange gods and the likeness from the house of Jehovah, and all the altars which he built in the mountain of the house of Jehovah, and in Jerusalem, and he will cast without to the city. ¹⁶ And he will build the altar of Jehovah, and he will sacrifice upon it sacrifices of peace and praise, and he will say to Judah serve Jehovah the God of Israel. ¹⁷ But the people yet are sacrificing in the height, only to Jehovah their God. ¹⁸ And the rest of the words of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers speaking to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold them upon the words of the kings of Israel. ¹⁹ And his prayer, and he was entreated for him and all his sin, and his transgression, and the places where he built in them heights, and he set up statues and carved images before his humbling: behold them written upon the words of the seers. ²⁰ And Manasseh will lie down with his fathers, and they will bury him in his house: and Amon his son will reign in his stead. ²¹ The son of twenty and two years was Amon in his reigning, and two years he reigned in Jerusalem. ²² And he will do the evil in the eyes of Jehovah as did Manasseh his father: and to all the carved images which Manasseh his father made, Amon sacrificed, and he will serve them. ²³ And he was not humbled from before Jehovah as Manasseh his father humbled himself; for this Amon multiplied trespass. ²⁴ And his servants will conspire against him, and they will kill him in his house.

³⁹ And one of the evil doers hanged, blasphemed him, saying, If thou art Christ, save thyself and us. ⁴⁰ And the other having answered, censured him, saying, Shouldest thou not fear God, for thou art in the same judgment? ⁴¹ And truly we justly; for we receive things worthy of what we have done: and this has done nothing out of place. ⁴² And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou shouldest come into thy kingdom. ⁴³ And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, This day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

⁷ For who distinguishes thee? and what hast thou which thou didst not receive? and if thou also didst receive, why dost thou boast, as not having received?

⁷ And just Lot, being harassed by the licentiousness of the lawless for the turning back, he delivered: ⁸ (For the just one in seeing and hearing, dwelling among them, from day to day tried the just soul with lawless works;) ⁹ The Lord knows to deliver the religious out of temptation, and to keep the unjust restrained for the day of judgment;

⁵ And every first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh sitting upon his throne, even to the first-born of the maid which is behind the two mill-stones; and every first-born of quadruped.

² Take the two mill-stones and grind flour, and uncover thy veil; strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.

³⁵ Two females shall be grinding together; one shall be taken, and the other let go.

³⁶ And concerning that day and hour, none know, nor the messengers of the heavens, except my Father only.

³⁸ Then says he to them, My soul is sorely grieved, even to death: remain here, and watch ye with me. ³⁹ And having gone forward a little, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me: but not as I will, but as thou. ⁴⁰ And he comes to his disciples, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, So were ye not able to watch with me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray, lest ye come into temptation: truly the spirit of a ready will, and the flesh weak.

³⁵ Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; ³⁶ And ye like men expecting their Lord, when he shall loose from the nuptials; that having come and knocked, they might quickly open to him. ³⁷ Happy those servants, whom the Lord having come shall find watching; truly I say to you, he will gird himself, and make them recline, and having come he will serve them. ³⁸ And if he should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch, and find so, happy are those servants. ³⁹ And know this, that if the master of the house knew what hour the thief is coming, he had watched, and not have suffered his house to be undermined. ⁴⁰ And be ye therefore ready: for in the time which ye think not the Son of man is coming.

³⁶ Watch therefore, in all time praying, that ye be deemed worthy to escape all these about to be, and to stand before the Son of man.

¹¹ And this, knowing the time, that already the hour ye should be awakened out of sleep: for now our salvation nearer than when we believed.

¹³ Watch ye, stand in the faith, be manly, be strengthened..

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as also the rest; but let us watch and be sober.

⁸ Be abstemious, watch; for your adversary the accuser, as a roaring lion, walks around, seeking whom he might swallow down:

² Be watching, and make firm the remaining things, which are about to die: For I have not found thy works perfected before God. ³ Remember therefore how thou hast received, and heard, and do thou, and repent. If therefore thou watch not, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I shall come upon thee.

² If in breaking in a thief shall be found, and he was smitten and died, no bloods for him. ³ If the sun was risen upon him, bloods for him: recompensing, he shall recompense; if nothing to him, to be sold for his theft.

¹⁹ For the man not in the house, he went in a way far off.

¹¹ And having received, they murmured against the master of the house,

³⁹ And know this, that if the master of the house knew what hour the thief is coming, he had watched, and not have suffered his house to be undermined.

² For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so comes. ³ For when they say, Peace and security; then sudden ruin is upon them, as anguish in her with child; and they may not escape. ⁴ And ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day as a thief overtake you. ⁵ Ye are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness. ⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as also the rest; but let us watch and be sober.

¹⁰ And the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a loud noise, and the elements, suffering from excessive heat, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it shall be burned down. ¹¹ Therefore all these being dissolved, of what race ought ye to be in holy turning round and devotion,

¹⁰ And they, going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they prepared, went in with him to the nuptials; and the door was locked.

⁴⁰ And be ye therefore ready: for in the time which ye think not the Son of man is coming.

⁵ Let your fitness be known to all men. The Lord is near.

⁷ Let us rejoice, and be transported with joy, and let us give glory to him: for the marriage of the Lamb came, and his wife prepared herself.

² Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, To the shepherds, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo! to the shepherds of Israel who were feeding themselves: shall not the shepherds feed the sheep?

²⁴ Therefore, every one which hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a discerning man which built his house upon the rock.

¹⁶ Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves.

⁵² And he said to them, Therefore every scribe, having been a disciple in the kingdom of the heavens, is like to a man, master of a house, who casts out from his treasure new things and old.

² And five of them were discerning, and five foolish.

²¹ And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant: thou west faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord.

²³ His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord.

³⁵ For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and ye brought me in: ³⁶ Naked, and ye put around me: I was sick, and ye reviewed me: I was in prison, and ye came to me. ³⁷ Then shall the just answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished or thirsting, and gave to drink ³⁸ And when saw we thee a stranger, and brought in or naked, and put around ³⁹ And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee? ⁴⁰ And the king having answered, will say to them, Trull I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did to one of the least of my brethren, ye did to me.

⁴¹ And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all? ⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, which the Lord will set over his household, to give the allowance of wheat in due time? ⁴³ Happy that servant, which his Lord, having come, shall find so doing.

¹⁰ He faithful in the least, is also faithful in much: and he unjust in the least, is also unjust in much. ¹¹ If therefore ye were not faithful in the unjust mammon, who shall trust to you the true? ¹² And if ye were not faithful with another, who shall give you your own?

¹⁷ And he said to him, Well, good servant: because thou west faithful in the least, be thou having power over ten cities.

¹⁵ Then, when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yes, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ Jesus says to him again the second time, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yes, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁷ He says to him the third time, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved that he said the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

²⁸ Attend therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit set you inspectors, to feed the church of God, which he acquired by his own blood.

¹ And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as spiritual, but as carnal, as babes in Christ. ² I have given you milk to drink, and not food; for ye were not able, but neither now are ye yet able.

¹ So let a man reckon us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. ² And besides it is sought in stewards, that any one be found faithful.

¹¹ And truly he gave the sent; and the prophets; and the bearers of good tidings; and the shepherds, and the teachers; ¹² For the adjusting of the holy, for the work of the service, for the building up of the body of Christ: ¹³ Until we all arrive to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to the perfect man, to the measure of age of the filling up of Christ.

¹² And I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, having strengthened me, for he deemed me faithful, having set me in the service;

² And what thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these things lay by for faithful men, who will be sufficient to teach others also.

⁵ And truly Moses faithful in his whole house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things to be spoken;

¹⁰ As each received favor, serving the same among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. ¹¹ If any speak, as the oracles of God; if any serve, as of the strength which God furnishes: that in all God might be praised by Jesus Christ, in whom is the glory and strength for the time of times. Amen.

¹ The elders among you I beseech, a fellow elder, and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a participator of the glory which is about to be revealed: ² Tend the flock of God which among you, inspecting, not by force, but voluntarily; neither occupied in sordid gain, but of a ready will; ³ Neither as ruling over the portions obtained by lot, but being types of the flock.

³⁴ Then shall the king say to them from his right, Come, the praised of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

³⁷ Happy those servants, whom the Lord having come shall find watching; truly I say to you, he will gird himself, and make them recline, and having come he will serve them.

⁴³ Happy that servant, which his Lord, having come, shall find so doing.

²¹ For me to live is Christ, and to die gain. ²² And if to live in the flesh, this to me the fruit of work: and whether I shall be taken away I know not ²³ For I am pressed together from two, having one eager desire to be loosed, and be with Christ (rather much better:)

⁶ For I am already poured out, and the time of my deliverance has been fixed. ⁷ I have contended earnestly the good contest, I have completed the course, I have kept the faith: ⁸ As to the rest, the crown of justice is laid up for me, which the Lord will assign to me in that day, the just judge: and not only to me, but also to all them having loved his appearance.

¹³ And I deem just, in as far as I am in this tent, to arouse you by putting in mind; ¹⁴ Knowing that the laying aside of my tent is swift; as also our Lord Jesus Christ manifested to me. ¹⁵ And I shall also be earnest for you always to have, after my exit, this putting in mind to be done.

¹⁹ I know thy works, and love, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last more than the first.

³ And those understanding shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and those justifying many, as the stars forever and ever.

⁴⁴ Truly I say to you, that he will set him over all his possessions.

²⁹ And I set to you, as my Father set to me, a kingdom; ³⁰ That ye might eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and might sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁶ If any one would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be my servant: and if any one serve me, him will the Father honour.

¹² If we endure, we shall also reign together: if we deny, he will also deny us:

⁴ And the chief Shepherd having been manifested, ye shall be attired with an unfading crown of glory.

²¹ He conquering, will I give to him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

⁷ He conquering shall inherit all things; and I will be God to him, and he shall be son to me.

⁴ Thou shalt not say in thy heart in Jehovah thy God's thrusting them out from before thee, saying, For my justice Jehovah brought me forth to possess this land; and for the injustice of these nations Jehovah dispossessed them from before thee.

⁹ Watch to thyself lest a word shall be with thy heart, of Belial, saying. The seventh year, the year of remission is drawing near; and thine eye be evil against thy needy brother and thou wilt not give to him; and he call against thee to Jehovah, and it was sin in thee.

²⁶ And he will say to him, Went not my heart when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to take silver, and to take garments, and olive trees, and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and servants and maids?

¹¹ Because a decree was not done quickly upon an evil work, for this the heart of the sons of man was filled in them to do evil.

⁶ For the foolish will speak folly, and his heart will do vanity to do profaneness and to speak error to Jehovah, to empty the soul of the hungry; and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

²² Son of man, what this parable to you upon the land of Israel, saying, The days will be prolonged and every vision perished?

²⁷ Son of man, behold the house of Israel saying, The vision which he saw is for many days, and for the times afar off he prophesied.

³² Then his lord, having called him, said unto him, O thou evil servant, I let go to you all that debt since thou besoughtest me:

²⁶ And his lord having answered, said to him, O evil and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I scattered not:

²¹ For within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil reflections, adulteries, fornications, murders,

²² And he said to him, Out of thy month will I judge thee, O evil servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I sowed not:

² And supper having been, the devil having already cast into the heart of Judas Iscariot, of Simon, that he should deliver him up;

³ And Peter said, Ananias, wherefore filled Satan thy heart, for thee to belie the Holy Spirit, and separate from the price of the farm

²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart be remitted to thee.

³ Knowing this first, that in the last of the days shall mockers come for deceiving, going according to their own eager desires, ⁴ And saying, Where is the solemn promise of his presence? for from the time the fathers were set to sleep, so continue all things from the beginning of creation. ⁵ For being willing this is unknown to them, that the heavens were a long while ago, and the earth having stood out of water and by water, by the word of God:

¹³ And the priests judging the people, every man sacrificing a sacrifice; and the boy of the priest came as the flesh boiled, and the fork of three teeth in his hand; ¹⁴ And he struck into the fire-pan or into the boiler, or into the kettle, or into the pot; all which the fork will bring up the priest will take for himself. So they will do to all Israel coming there into Shiloh. ¹⁵ Also before they will burn the fat and the boy of the priest came and said to the man sacrificing, Thou shalt give flesh to roast for the priest; and he will not take from thee flesh boiled but living. ¹⁶ And the man will say to him, Burning, they shall burn the fat as the day, and take to thee as thy soul shall desire; and he said to him, But now thou shalt give, and if not I will take by force.

²⁹ Wherefore will ye trample upon my sacrifice and upon my gifts which I commanded to my habitation? and thou wilt honor thy sons above me to fatten yourselves from the chief of all the gifts of Israel my people.

¹² Come ye, I will take wine, and we will drink strong drink to excess; and the morrow being as this day, the remainder great exceedingly.

⁵ Hear the word of Jehovah, ye trembling at his word: Your brethren hating you, excluding you for sake of my name, said, Jehovah shall be honored: and he was seen to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

³ Ye will eat the fat, and ye will put on the wool, ye will sacrifice the fatlings: ye will not feed the sheep.

⁵ Thus said Jehovah for the prophets causing my people to wander, and biting with their teeth, and they called, Peace; and who will not give upon their mouth and they consecrated war against him:

¹⁸ For such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by specious language and praise completely deceive the hearts of the innocent.

²⁰ For ye bear, if any reduce you to bondage, if any devour, if any receive, if any be lifted up, if any skin you on the face.

¹⁹ Whose end destruction, whose God the belly, and their glory in shame, having in mind earthly things.)

¹¹ Who must be restrained, who subvert whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain. ¹² A certain of them said, their own prophet, The Cretians always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies.

³ Neither as ruling over the portions obtained by lot, but being types of the flock.

¹³ Receiving the reward of injustice, deeming luxurious indulgence pleasure in the day. Spots and blemishes, rioting in their deceits, feasting together with you ¹⁴ Having eyes full of an adulteress, not ceasing from sin; decoying unstable souls: having a heart exercised with covetousness; children of a curse:

⁹ I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, seeking the superiority over them, receives us not. ¹⁰ Therefore, if I should come, I will put him in mind of his works which he does, talking silly against us with evil words: and not being satisfied in these, neither does he himself receive the brethren, and hinders those being willing, and casts out of the church.

¹² These are spots in your loves, feasting together fearlessly, taking care of themselves: clouds wanting water, carried about by winds; decayed trees, unfruitful, twice dead, uprooted;

⁷ And it was given him to make war with the holy, and to conquer them: and power was given him over every tribe, and tongue, and nation.

⁶ For they poured out the blood of the holy, and of the prophets, and thou didst give them blood to drink i for they are worthy.

⁶ And I saw the woman intoxicated from the blood of the holy, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus: and 1 wondered, seeing her, with great wonder.

¹ A Man of reproofs hardening the neck, shall be suddenly broken, and no healing.

⁴² Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord comes. ⁴³ But know this, that if the master of the house had known what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and would not have suffered his house to be undermined. ⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also prepared: for what hour ye think not, the Son of man comes.

² For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so comes. ³ For when they say, Peace and security; then sudden ruin is upon them, as anguish in her with child; and they may not escape.

²⁹ This the portion of an unjust man and the lot of his command from God.

¹⁴ The sinners in Zion trembled; trembling seized the profane. Who to us shall sojourn with devouring fire? who to us with everlasting burning?

¹² But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth.

¹³ Then said the king to his servants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him away, and cast ye him into outer darkness; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth.

³⁰ And cast ye the useless servant into darkness without; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth.

⁴⁶ The lord of that servant shall come in a day which he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, and he will cut him in two equal parts, and set his portion with the unbelieving.

²⁸ Weeping shall be there and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you cast without.
