⁹ I will not carry out the heat of My anger; I will not return to destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not a man, the Holy One in your midst. And I will not enter into the city.

²⁰ You will give faithfulness to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, which You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

³ For the vision is still for the appointed time, but it breathes to the end, and it does not lie. Though it delays, wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not tarry.

⁶ For I am Jehovah, I change not. Because of this, you sons of Jacob are not destroyed.

³³ The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words in no way will pass away.

²⁹ For the free gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.

² on hope of eternal life which the God who does not lie promised before the eternal times,

¹⁸ that through two unchangeable things, in which it was not possible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, those having fled to lay hold on the hope set before us,

¹⁷ every act of good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no change or shadow of turning.

² And I will make of you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great; and you will be a blessing.

¹⁸ And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give to me his house full of gold and silver, I could not go beyond the mouth of Jehovah my God, to do anything, small or great.

¹³ Yea, from this day I am He, and no one delivers from My hand. I will work, and who will reverse it?

²⁷ My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. ²⁸ And I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish to the age, and not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand. ²⁹ My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of My Father's hand.

³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

⁵ by the power of God, having been guarded through faith to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time;

²¹ And Jehovah was going before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them in the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give light to them, to go by day and by night.

⁴⁵ And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel; and I will be God to them. ⁴⁶ And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, that I may dwell in their midst. I am Jehovah their God.

¹⁴ And He said, My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. ¹⁵ And the said to Him, If Your presence does not go, do not cause us to go up from here. ¹⁶ And now by what can it be known that I and Your people have found favor in Your eyes? Is it not in Your going with us? And we are distinguished, I and Your people, from all the nations which are on the face of the earth?

⁹ And he said, If now I have found favor in Your eyes, O lord, please let my lord go in our midst, for it is a stiffnecked people; and You forgive our iniquity and our sin, and take us as a possession.

⁵ And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people assembled, the tribes of Israel.

¹³ And Gideon said to Him, Oh my Lord, if Jehovah is with us, then why has all this happened to us? And where are all His wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Did not Jehovah bring us up out of Egypt? And now Jehovah has left us, and has given us into the hands of Midian.

¹² And, behold, God is with us at our head, and His priests, and the trumpets, the signal to sound for battle against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight with Jehovah, the God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper.

⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

² Blessed is the man to whom Jehovah does not charge iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

⁵ I confessed my sin to You, and I have not hidden my iniquity; I said, I will confess over my transgression to Jehovah; and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

⁷ Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is a refuge for us. Selah.

¹¹ Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is a refuge for us. Selah.

⁵ God has gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a ram's horn. ⁶ Sing praise; sing praise; sing praise to our King, sing praise! ⁷ For God is the king of all the earth; sing a psalm for edification.

¹⁵ Blessed is the people knowing the joyful sound; O Jehovah, they shall walk in the light of Your face. ¹⁶ They shall rejoice in Your name always; and they are exalted in Your righteousness. ¹⁷ For You are the glory of their strength; and by Your favor You lift up our horn. ¹⁸ For Jehovah is our shield, yea, the Holy One of Israel our King.

¹ Jehovah reigns! Let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of islands be glad.

¹² As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

¹⁵ The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of Jehovah works mightily.

¹⁸ Come now and let us reason together, says Jehovah: Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as the crimson, they shall be like wool.

¹⁰ Counsel a counsel, and it is frustrated; speak a word, and it shall not rise; for God is with us.

⁶ Cry and shout, O dweller of Zion! For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst.

²² For Jehovah is our judge; Jehovah is our lawgiver; Jehovah is our king; He will save us.

¹⁷ Behold, for peace was bitter to me, most bitter; but You loved my soul from the pit of destruction; You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

¹⁰ Do not fear, for I am with you; do not gaze about, for I am your God; I will make you strong; yea, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.

²⁰ In those days, and at that time, states Jehovah, the iniquity of Israel shall not be sought for, and it is not; and the sins of Judah, and they will not be found; for I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant.

³⁵ All around it shall be eighteen thousand cubits . And the name of the city from that day shall be JEHOVAH IS THERE.

² Take words with you and return to Jehovah. Say to Him, Take away all iniquity and receive us well, that we may repay with the calves of our lips. ³ Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride on horses. We shall not say any more to the work of our hands, Our gods! For in You the fatherless finds mercy. ⁴ I will heal their backslidings; I will love them freely; for My anger has turned away from him.

¹⁸ Who is a God like You, forgiving iniquity and passing by the transgression of the remnant of His possession? He does not make strong His anger forever, for He delights in grace. ¹⁹ He will return to show us compassion; He will trample our iniquities. Yea, You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. ²⁰ You will give faithfulness to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, which You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

²³ "Behold! The virgin will conceive in her womb and will bear a son, and they will call His name Emmanuel" (which translated is, God with us). Isa. 7:14

³⁷ And as He was already drawing near to the descent of the Mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice concerning all the works of power which they saw, ³⁸ saying, "Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord," the King. Peace in Heaven, and glory in the highest! Psa. 118:26

⁷ "Blessed are those whose lawlessnesses are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; ⁸ blessed the man to whom the Lord will in no way charge sin." LXX-Psa. 31:1, 2; MT-Psa. 32:1, 2

¹⁴ For your sin shall not lord it over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.

¹ There is therefore now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to flesh, but according to Spirit.

¹⁴ But thanks be to God, He always leading us in triumph in Christ, and the One revealing through us the odor of the knowledge of Him in every place.

¹⁹ whereas God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not charging their trespasses to them, and putting the word of reconciliation in us.

¹⁶ And what agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God, even as God said, "I will" dwell in them and "walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." Lev. 26:12; Ezek. 37:27

¹⁶ And for this reason I have made you stand, in order to cause you to see My power, and in order to declare My name in all the land.

¹⁸ And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, in my being honored through Pharaoh, through his chariots, and through his horsemen.

² I am Jehovah your God, who has brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

⁵ And he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor which is beside the River of the land of the sons of his people, to call for him, saying, Behold! A people has come out of Egypt. Behold! it has covered the face of the earth, and it is setting next to me.

⁸ God who has brought him out of Egypt is for him like the lofty horns of the wild ox; he shall eat up the nations that are his foes, and shall break their bones in pieces, and shall pierce them through with his arrows.

¹⁷ His glory is as the first-born of his ox, and the horns of the wild ox are his horns; with them he shall butt the peoples together to the ends of the earth. And they are the myriads of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

⁹ Will the wild ox consent to be your servant, or spend the night by your feed-trough? ¹⁰ Can you tie the wild ox in the furrow with his rope? Or will he harrow the valleys for you? ¹¹ Will you trust him because his strength is great; or will you leave your labor to him?

²¹ Save Me from the lion's mouth; and from the horns of the wild oxen. You have answered Me.

³⁵ O God, You are awesome out of Your holy places; the God of Israel is He who gives strength and powers to the people. Blessed be God!

¹⁰ But You will lift up my horn as the wild ox, and I will be anointed with fresh oil.

¹⁵ And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.

⁶ And now please come, curse this people for me, for it is stronger than I. Perhaps I will prevail, that we may strike them, that I may drive them out from the land. For I know that whoever you bless is blessed, and whoever you curse is cursed. ⁷ And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian left with the rewards of the seer in their hand. And they came to Balaam and spoke the words of Balak to him.

²² And the sons of Israel killed Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, with the sword, among their slain.

¹⁹ How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You; You have worked for those who trust in You before the sons of mankind.

¹ To the chief musician. A Contemplation for the Sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old. ² You drove out nations with Your hand and planted them. You brought evil on peoples and expelled them. ³ For they did not inherit the land with their own sword; yea, their own arm did not save them. But it was Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

⁹ And all men shall fear and shall declare the work of God; yea, they shall in wisdom consider His work.

² Then our mouth was full of laughter, and our tongue with joyful shouting; then they said among the nations, Jehovah will work great things with these. ³ Jehovah did great things to work with us; we are glad.

¹³ to Him who divided the Sea of Reeds into parts; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁴ and made Israel pass through the middle of it; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁵ but shook Pharaoh and his army off in the Sea of Reeds; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁶ to Him who led His people in the wilderness; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁷ to Him who struck great kings; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁸ and killed majestic kings; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁹ Sihon, king of the Amorites; for His mercy endures forever; ²⁰ and Og, the king of Bashan; for His mercy endures forever;

⁴ Who has planned and done it, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I Jehovah am the first and the last; I am He.

⁹ In all their affliction, He was not a foe; and the Angel of his Face saved them. In His love and in His pity He redeemed them. And He bore them, and carried them all the days of old. ¹⁰ But they rebelled, and provoked His Holy Spirit, so He was turned to be their enemy; He fought against them. ¹¹ Then His people remembered the days past of Moses and His people, saying, Where is He who brought us up from the sea with the shepherd of His flock. Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within him; ¹² who led them by Moses' right hand, with His glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make for Him an everlasting name?

¹⁵ And now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and made for Yourself a name, as it is this day; we have sinned; we have done evilly.

⁴ For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slaves; and I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you. ⁵ My people, remember now what Balak, king of Moab, planned; and what Balaam, the son of Beor, answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may know the righteousnesses of Jehovah.

¹⁵ As the days of your coming out from the land of Egypt, I will cause him to see extraordinary things.

²⁵ But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to ruin. And every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

²⁷ And if I throw out the demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons throw them out? Because of this, they shall be your judges.

¹⁸ And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against her.

¹⁸ And He said to them, I saw Satan falling out of Heaven as lightning! ¹⁹ Behold, I have given you the authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and on all the power of the Enemy, and nothing shall hurt you, not at all

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled a sanhedrin, and said, What are we doing, for this man does many miracles?

¹⁶ saying, What may we do to these men? For that a notable miracle indeed has occurred through them is plain to all those living in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it.

¹² And many miracles and wonders among the people took place through the hands of the apostles. And they were all with one passion in Solomon's Porch.

¹⁴ And more believing ones were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and of women,

³⁸ Jesus the One from Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all those having been oppressed by the Devil, because God was with Him.

¹² And all the multitude kept silent and were hearing Barnabas and Paul recounting what things God did through them among the nations, even the signs and wonders.

²⁰ And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

²³ But only they were hearing that he who was persecuting us then, now proclaims the faith which he then ravaged; ²⁴ and they glorified God in me.

⁸ For the Word of the Lord sounded out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that there is no need for us to have to say anything. ⁹ For they themselves announce concerning us what kind of entrance we have to you, and how you had turned to God from the idols, to serve the true and living God,

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent being called Devil, and, Satan; he deceiving the whole habitable world was cast out onto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

⁹ Judah is a lion's whelp. My son, you have risen up from the prey; he stoops, he crouches like a lion; and like a lioness, who can rouse him?

²⁷ Benjamin is a wolf that tears. In the morning he devours the prey, and at evening he divides the spoil.

⁸ God who has brought him out of Egypt is for him like the lofty horns of the wild ox; he shall eat up the nations that are his foes, and shall break their bones in pieces, and shall pierce them through with his arrows. ⁹ He has crouched; he has lain down like a lion, and like a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed is everyone that blesses you, and cursed is everyone that curses you.

¹⁷ I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not near. A star shall come forth out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel and shall dash the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of tumult.

²⁰ And of Gad he said, Blessed is he who enlarges Gad; he shall live like a lioness, and shall tear the arm, also the crown.

¹² like a lion who longs to tear, and like a young lion sitting in hidden dens.

³⁰ a lion is mighty among beasts, and he does not turn away from facing all;

⁴ For so Jehovah has said to me: As the lion roars, even the young lion on his prey when the multitude of shepherds are gathered against him, he will not fear their voice, nor fret himself because of their noise. So Jehovah of Hosts shall come down to fight on Mount Zion, and on its hill.

⁴⁴ And in the days of these kings, the God of Heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to other people. It shall break in pieces and destroy all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

⁸ A lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah has spoken, who will not prophesy?

⁸ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep (who both tramples and tears in pieces if he passes through) and there is no one to snatch back. ⁹ Your hands shall be high above your foes, and all your enemies shall be cut off.

¹¹ Where is the den of the lions and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion, and the lioness, and the lion's cub walked, and none shall terrify them .

⁴ From Him came the cornerstone, from Him the nail, from Him came the battle bow, and from Him every ruler together. ⁵ And they shall be like mighty ones who trample the mud of the streets in the battle. And they shall fight because Jehovah is with them, and they shall make the riders of horses ashamed.

⁶ In that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire among cut grain. And they shall devour all the peoples all around, on the right hand and on the left hand. And Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her place, in Jerusalem.

⁵ And one of the elders said to me, Do not weep, Behold, the Lion being of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame so as to open the scroll, and to loose its seven seals.

¹¹ And I saw Heaven being opened. And, behold! A white horse, and He sitting on it having been called Faithful and True. And He judges and wars in righteousness. ¹² And His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head many diadems, having a name that had been written, which no one knows except Himself; ¹³ and having been clothed in a garment which had been dipped in blood. And His name is called The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies in Heaven followed Him on white horses, being dressed in fine linen, white and pure. ¹⁵ And out of His mouth goes forth a sharp sword, that with it He might smite the nations. And He will shepherd them with an iron rod. And He treads the winepress of the wine of the anger and of the wrath of God Almighty. ¹⁶ And He has on His garment and on His thigh a name having been written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. ¹⁷ And I saw one angel standing in the sun. And he cried with a great voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, Come and gather together to the supper of the great God, ¹⁸ that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of strong ones, and the flesh of horses, and of the ones sitting on them, and the flesh of all, both freemen and slaves, even of the small and great. ¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their armies being assembled to make war with the One sitting on the horse, and with His army. ²⁰ And the beast was seized, and with this one the false prophet doing signs before it, by which he led astray those having received the mark of the beast, and those worshiping its image. The two were thrown alive into the Lake of Fire burning with brimstone. ²¹ And the rest were killed with the sword of the One sitting on the horse, it having gone out of His mouth. And all the birds were filled from their flesh.

¹ Why have the nations raged and the peoples are meditating on vanity? ² The kings of the earth set themselves; yea, the rulers have plotted together against Jehovah and His anointed, saying, ³ We will break their bands in two, and throw off their cords from us.

¹² And he replied and said, Must not I take heed to speak what Jehovah has put in my mouth? ¹³ And Balak said to him, Now come with me to another place where you will see it; only you will see its edge and shall not see all of it; and curse it for me there.

¹² And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not speak to your messengers that you sent to me, saying, ¹³ If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the mouth of Jehovah, to do good or bad of my own heart. What Jehovah speaks, that I will speak.

¹⁴ And Micaiah said, As Jehovah lives, Surely that which Jehovah says to me, that I will speak.

¹³ And Micaiah said, As Jehovah lives, surely that which my God says, that I shall speak.

¹⁹ But answering them Peter and John said, Whether it is right before God to listen to you rather than God, you judge. ²⁰ For we are not able not to speak what we saw and heard.

²⁹ But answering Peter and the apostles said, It is right to obey God rather than man.

¹³ And Balak said to him, Now come with me to another place where you will see it; only you will see its edge and shall not see all of it; and curse it for me there.

¹⁹ God is not a man that He should lie, or a son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? And has He spoken, and shall He not make it good? ²⁰ Behold, I have received word to bless; yes, He has blessed; I cannot reverse it.

¹³ But He is in one mind, and who can turn Him? Yea, His soul desires, and He does it .

²¹ Many purposes are in a man's heart, but the counsel of Jehovah shall stand.

³⁰ There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel before Jehovah.

²⁷ For Jehovah of Hosts has purposed. And who shall reverse it ? And His hand is stretched out. Who shall turn it back?

¹⁰ declaring the end from the beginning, and from the past those things which were not done, saying, My purpose shall rise; and, I will do all My desire; ¹¹ calling a bird of prey from the sunrise, the man of My counsel from a far off land. Yes, I have spoken; yes, I will cause it to come; I have formed; yes, I will do it.

²⁸ They also were joined to Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead;
