¹ Now Korach, the son of Yizhar, the son of Kehath, the son of Levi, was presumptuous, together with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben: ² So that they rose up before Moses, with certain men of the children of Israel, in number two hundred and fifty; who were princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown. ³ And they assembled themselves against Moses, and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye assume too much; for the whole of the congregation are all of them holy, and the Lord is among them; wherefore then will you lift yourselves up above the congregation of the Lord? ⁴ And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: ⁵ And he spoke unto Korach and unto all his company, saying, Tomorrow,—then will the Lord make known who is his, and who is holy, that he may cause them to come near unto him; and him whom he shall choose will he cause to come near unto him. ⁶ This do ye: Take yourselves censers, Korach and all his company; ⁷ And put therein fire, and put upon them incense before the Lord, tomorrow; and it shall be that the man whom the Lord will choose, he shall be the holy one; you assume too much, ye sons of Levi. ⁸ And Moses said unto Korach, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: ⁹ It is too little for you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near unto himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister for them? ¹⁰ And he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and now will ye seek the priesthood also? ¹¹ For which cause beware, thou and all thy company that are gathered together against the Lord; for Aaron, what is he, that ye should murmur against him: ¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up: ¹³ Is it too little that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that thou wilt assume to make thyself also a prince over us? ¹⁴ Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and thou hast not given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou bore out the eyes of these men? we will not come up. ¹⁵ And this displeased Moses greatly, and he said unto the Lord, Have no respect unto their offering: I have not taken away an ass of any one of them, nor have I done wrong to any one of them. ¹⁶ And Moses said unto Korach, Thou and all thy company, be ye before the Lord, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow: ¹⁷ And take ye every man his censer, and put incense upon them, and bring ye near before the Lord every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each his censer. ¹⁸ And they took every man his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereupon; and they stood at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.— ¹⁹ And Korach assembled against them all the congregation unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and the glory of the Lord then appeared unto all the congregation. ²⁰ And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, ²¹ Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and I will make an end of them in a moment. ²² And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, this one man doth sin, and with all the congregation wouldst thou be wroth! ²³ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, ²⁴ Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you away from about the dwelling of Korach, Dathan, and Abiram. ²⁵ And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and there went after him the elders of Israel. ²⁶ And he spoke unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing which belongeth to them, lest ye be destroyed through all their sins. ²⁷ So they got away from the dwelling of Korach, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, standing boldly at the door of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their little ones. ²⁸ And Moses said, Through this shall ye know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these deeds; that I have not done them out of my own heart. ²⁹ If these men die as all men die, and if the visitation of all men be visited on them: then hath the Lord not sent me. ³⁰ But if the Lord do create a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertaineth unto them, and they go down alive into the pit: then shall ye understand that these men have provoked the Lord. ³¹ And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground that was under them was cloven asunder: ³² And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korach, and all their goods. ³³ And they went down, they, and all they that appertained to them, alive into the pit; and the earth closed over them, and they disappeared from the midst of the congregation. ³⁴ And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Perhaps the earth may swallow us up also. ³⁵ And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had offered the incense.

¹ And the children of Israel set forward, and encamped in the plains of Moab, on this side of the Jordan, opposite Jericho. ² And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Emorites. ³ And Moab was greatly afraid of the people, because it was numerous; and Moab was horrified because of the children of Israel. ⁴ And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now will this assemblage devour all that is round about us, as the ox devoureth the grass of the field; and Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. ⁵ And he sent messengers unto Bil’am the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river, in the land of the children of his people, to have him called; saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt; behold, it covereth the surface of the earth, and it is abiding opposite to me: ⁶ And now do but come, curse me this people; for it is too mighty for me; peradventure I may be able to smite it, that I may drive it out of the land; for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. ⁷ And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Bil’am, and spoke unto him the words of Balak. ⁸ And he said unto them, Remain you here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the Lord may speak unto me; and the princes of Moab abode with Bil’am. ⁹ And God came unto Bil’am, and said, Who are these men with thee? ¹⁰ And Bil’am said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, the king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying, ¹¹ Behold, there is the people that is come out of Egypt, and covereth the face of the earth: now come, denounce it for me; peradventure I shall be able to fight against it, and drive it away. ¹² And God said unto Bil’am, Thou shalt not go with them: thou shalt not curse the people; for it is blessed. ¹³ And Bil’am rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Go back to your land; for the Lord refuseth to give me leave to go with you. ¹⁴ And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Bil’am refuseth to come with us. ¹⁵ And Balak sent yet again princes, more in number, and more honorable than those. ¹⁶ And they came to Bil’am, and said to him, Thus hath said Balak the son of Zippor, Do not suffer thyself, I pray thee, to be prevented from coming unto me; ¹⁷ For I will honor thee greatly, and whatsoever thou mayest say unto me will I do: and only come, I pray thee, denounce me this people. ¹⁸ And Bil’am answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not transgress the order of the Lord my God, to do a small or a great thing. ¹⁹ And now, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the Lord will farther speak with me. ²⁰ And God came unto Bil’am at night, and said unto him, If to call thee the men have come, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I shall speak unto thee, that shalt thou do. ²¹ And Bil’am rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. ²² And the anger of God was kindled, because he went; and an angel of the Lord placed himself in the way to be a hindrance to him; and he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. ²³ And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Bil’am smote the ass, to make her turn into the way. ²⁴ But the angel of the Lord stepped into a path between the vineyards, with a wall on this side, and a wall on that side.

⁹ And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. These are Dathan and Abiram, men called to the assembly, who quarreled against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korach, at the time they quarreled against the Lord; ¹⁰ When the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korach, while that company died, when the fire devoured the two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign.

¹⁶ Behold, these chiefly were the cause unto the children of Israel, through the counsel of Bil’am, to commit the gross trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor; through which there was the plague among the congregation of the Lord.

^{4 (23:5)} For the reason, that they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because he hired against thee Bil’am the son of Beor of Pethor in Mesopotamia, to curse thee;

⁹ Then Balak the son of Zippor, the king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel; and he sent and called Bil’am the son of Beor to curse you; ¹⁰ And I would not hearken unto Bil’am; but he had to bless you instead: and I delivered you out of his hand. ¹¹ And ye passed over the Jordan, and came unto Jericho; and then fought the men of Jericho against you, the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I gave them up into your hand.

⁹ The boldness of their face testifieth against them; and like Sodom they tell openly their sin, they conceal it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have prepared evil unto themselves.

²⁷ Thy adulteries and thy loud shoutings, the lewdness of thy incest, thy abominations on the hills in the fields have I seen. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean after ever so long a time.

²⁹ And they ate, and were greatly satisfied, and what they longed for he brought unto them. ³⁰ They were not estranged from their longing, yet was their food in their mouth: ³¹ When the wrath of God ascended against them, and he slew some of the fattest of them, and the young men of Israel did he strike down.

¹⁴ Like clouds and wind without rain, so is a man that vaunteth falsely of a gift.

¹⁰ His watchmen are all of them blind, they know nothing; they all are dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreamers, lying down, loving to slumber. ¹¹ But the dogs are of a greedy disposition, they know not how to be satisfied; and those are shepherds that know how to understand: they all turn to their own way, every one after his gain, from all quarters. ¹² Come ye, I will fetch wine, and let us swallow abundantly of strong drink; and like this day shall it be tomorrow, excellent and in very great abundance.

⁹ Say now, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Shall it prosper? Behold the other will pull up its roots, and its fruit will he cut away, that it may dry up; every one of its growing leaves shall dry up; and not with great power and numerous people will he have to come to tear it away from its roots.

² Son of man, prophesy concerning the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the shepherds of Israel who do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

⁸ As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became food unto every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds did not inquire for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and my flock they fed not:

¹⁰ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against the shepherds, and I will require my flock from their hand, and I will stop them from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock out of their mouth, that they may not serve them for food.

¹⁸ Is it too little for you that ye can feed on the good pasture, that ye must tread down the residue of your pastures with your feet? and that ye can drink clear waters, that ye must render muddy with your feet what is left?

⁴ What shall I do unto thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do unto thee, O Judah? for your piety is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away.

^{7 (65:8)} Who assuageth the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of nations.

⁵ And ye shall flee from the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal; and ye shall flee, just as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of ‘Uzziyah the king of Judah: and then will come the Lord my God, and all the saints with thee.

^{7 (9:8)} But the Lord will sit enthroned for ever: he hath established for giving judgment his throne. ^{8 (9:9)} And he will judge the world with righteousness, he shall decide for the people, with equity.

^{18 (31:19)} Let the lying lips be made dumb, which speak hard things against the righteous, with pride and contempt.

⁶ And he will bring forth as the light thy righteousness, and the justice of thy cause as the noonday.

¹ A psalm of Assaph. The God of gods, the Lord, speaketh, and calleth the earth, from the rising of the sun unto his setting. ² Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shineth forth. ³ Our God is coming, and will not keep silence: a fire devoureth before him, and round him there rageth a mighty storm. ⁴ He will call to the heavens above, and to the earth, to judge his people. ⁵ “Gather together unto me my pious servants, who make a covenant with me by sacrifice.” ⁶ And the heavens tell of his righteousness; for God is judge himself.

⁹ They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh busily on the earth.

⁴ They sputter, they speak hard things: all the workers of wickedness boast themselves.

⁹ To execute upon them the judgment which is written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.

⁹ Rejoice, O young man, in thy childhood; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youthful vigor, and walk firmly in the ways of thy heart, and in the direction which thy eyes see: but know thou, that concerning all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

¹⁴ For every deed will God bring into the judgment concerning every thing that hath been hidden, whether it be good, or whether it be bad.

²² This is the word that the Lord hath spoken over him: She despiseth thee, she laugheth thee to scorn, the virgin daughter of Zion; behind she shaketh her head, the daughter of Jerusalem. ²³ Whom hast thou blasphemed, and whom hast thou scorned? and against whom hast thou raised thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? against the Holy One of Israel. ²⁴ Through thy servants hast thou blasphemed the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I indeed come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its fir-trees: and I will enter into the height of its summit, the forest of its fruitful soil. ²⁵ I have dug, and drunk water; and I will dry up with the sole of my feet all the streams of besieged places. ²⁶ Hadst thou not heard, that in distant ages I had prepared this? in the times of antiquity when I formed it? now have I brought it along, and it came to pass to desolate into ruinous heaps fortified cities. ²⁷ And thus their inhabitants were of short power, they were discouraged and confounded: they were as the herbs of the field, and as the green grass; as the moss on the housetops, and as corn blasted before the ear appeareth. ²⁸ But thy abiding, and thy going out, and thy coming in do I know, and thy raging against me. ²⁹ Because of thy raging against me, and thy tumult, that is come up into my ears, will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle between thy lips, and I will cause thee to turn back on the way by which thou camest. ³⁰ And this shall be unto thee the sign, Ye shall eat this year what groweth of itself, and in the second year what springeth after the same; and in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. ³¹ And the remnant of the house of Judah that is escaped shall yet strike root downward, and bear fruit upward. ³² For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and that which escapeth out of Mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. ³³ Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow thereon, nor come before it with shields, nor cast up an embankment against it. ³⁴ On the way by which he came, by the same shall he return, and into this city shall he not come, saith the Lord. ³⁵ And I will shield this city to save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant. ³⁶ Then went out an angel of the Lord, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty and five thousand men; and when people arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

¹³ Your words have been strong against me, saith the Lord; but ye say, What have we spoken among us against thee? ¹⁴ Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked contritely before the Lord of hosts? ¹⁵ And now we call the presumptuous happy: yea, built up are those that practise wickedness; yea, they have even tempted God and are yet suffered to escape.

⁴ For thou hast concealed their heart against intelligence: therefore art thou not exalted through them. ⁵ Every one of them speaketh deceptively to his friends: may also the eyes of his children fail.

²¹ On no account will I show undue favor to any man, and to no son of earth will I give flattering titles.

¹⁹ Whereas he is one that showeth no favor to chieftains, and distinguisheth not the rich before the indigent; for all of them are the work of his hands.

⁴ In whose eyes the despicable is despised; but that honoreth those who fear the Lord; that sweareth to his own injury, and changeth not;

¹⁰ They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

⁹ They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh busily on the earth. ¹⁰ Therefore do his people turn away hither: and waters of a full cup are drained by them. ¹¹ And they say, How should God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?

²⁵ But they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.

²¹ To have respect to persons is not good; because even for a piece of bread will a man transgress.

²⁴ They also that were erring in spirit shall acquire understanding, and they that murmured shall obtain instruction.

^{4 (3:22)} Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, whom I commanded on Horeb for all Israel, statutes and ordinances.

¹ To the chief musician, by David. The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they are abominable in their doings, there is none that doth good. ² The Lord looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for God.

¹ He that separateth himself from God seeketh his own desires: at every sound wisdom is he enraged.

¹⁴ I cannot inflict punishment on your daughters when they play the harlot, nor on your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery; for they themselves associate with lewd women, and with harlots do they sacrifice: and so doth the people that doth not understand stumble.

¹⁰ Like grapes in the wilderness had I found Israel; as the first ripe fruit on the fig-tree in the first of the season had I seen your fathers; but they too went to Ba’al-pe’or: and devoted themselves unto that shameful idol, and became abominations as those they loved.

¹⁰ But I will pour out over the house of David, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they will look up toward me for every one whom they have thrust through, and they will lament for him, as one lamenteth for an only son, and weep bitterly for him, as one weepeth bitterly for the first-born.

¹⁴ Or, when a man dieth, will he live again? all the days of my time of service would I then wait, till the hour of my release were come.

²⁵ The Lord is good unto those that hope in him, to the soul that seeketh him. ²⁶ It is good that one should wait and this in silence for the salvation of the Lord.

⁴⁷ And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

² And the Lord said unto the accuser, The Lord rebuke thee, O Accuser; yea, the Lord rebuke thee that hath chosen Jerusalem: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? ³ Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel. ⁴ And he commenced and said unto those that stood before him, saying; Take away the filthy garments from him. And he said unto him, Behold, I have caused thy iniquity to pass from off thee, and I clothe thee with festive garments. ⁵ And I said, Let them place a clean mitre upon his head. So they placed the clean mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments; rind the angel of the Lord stood by.

^{6 (21:7)} For thou appointest him to be a blessing for ever: thou makest him glad with joy from thy presence.

⁴ That I may go unto the altar of God, unto God the joy of my gladness; and that I may thank thee upon the harp, O God, my God.

¹¹ Thine, O Lord, are the greatness, and the might, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty, yea, all that is in the heavens and on the earth: thine, O Lord, is the kingdom, and thou art exalted as the head above all.

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed: shall he also be able to give bread? or can he provide flesh for his people?

²⁴ How manifold are thy works, O Lord! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

⁵ Great is our Lord, and abundant in power: his understanding is immeasurable.

² Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust him; for my strength and song is Yah the Eternal: and he is become my salvation.”

²¹ Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: Who hath announced this in ancient times? told it from the beginning? is it not I the Lord? and there is no other god without me, a just god and a saviour; there is none beside me.

^{37 (4:34)} Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and glorify the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and whose ways are justice; and who is able to bring low those that walk in pride.
