¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth, so is His mercy toward those who fear Him.

¹³ When they went from one nation to another, from a kingdom to another people,

²⁴ And He increased His people greatly and made them stronger than their enemies.

²⁴ And He increased His people greatly and made them stronger than their enemies. ²⁵ He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.

²⁵ He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.

⁵ He has given food to those who fear Him; He will always be mindful of His covenant.

¹ A Song of degrees for Solomon. Unless Jehovah builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless Jehovah keeps the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

³ Lo, children are the inheritance of Jehovah; the fruit of the womb is a reward.

¹⁹ He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

¹¹ If they say, Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, we will watch secretly for the innocent without cause;

¹⁶ for their feet run to evil and make haste to shed blood.

¹⁶ For they do not sleep, except when they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away unless they cause some to fall.

¹³ The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; I hate pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the wicked mouth.

¹⁸ The wicked makes a deceitful wage; but one sowing righteousness has a sure reward.

²⁸ In the multitude of people is the king's honor, but in the lack of people is the ruin of the prince.

⁶ By mercy and truth, iniquity is purged, and by the fear of Jehovah men turn away from evil.

²⁵ There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.

¹⁷ He who has pity upon the poor lends to Jehovah, and He will reward his dealing to him.

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

³ Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established;

¹¹ Deliver those being taken to death, and those stumbling to be killed, unless you hold back. ¹² If you say, Behold, we did not know; does not He who searches the heart consider it? And the Keeper of your soul, does He know? And He repays to a man according to his works.

⁴ Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before envy?

¹⁸ Yes, I hated all my labor which I had done under the sun; that I must leave it to the man who shall be after me. ¹⁹ And who knows whether he shall be wise or a fool? Yet he shall have rule over all my labor in which I have labored, and acted wisely under the sun. This is also vanity.

⁴ Again, I considered all labor, and every right work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

⁴ Because the word of a king is that which has power; and who may say to him, What are you doing?

¹² Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days be made longer, yet surely I know that it shall be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.

¹⁵ And a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that poor man.

¹³ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God, and keep His commandments. For this is the whole duty of man.

¹⁰ Say to the righteous that it is well; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

⁶ who struck peoples in wrath, a blow without turning away, ruling the nations in anger, a persecution without restraint.

²³ But I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, Bow down so that we may cross; and put your back as the ground, even as the street to those who cross.

⁵ Now therefore, what have I here, says Jehovah, that My people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule make them howl, says Jehovah; and without ceasing My name is blasphemed every day.

⁶ Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed ones go free, and that you break every yoke?

² Go to the house of the Rechabites and speak to them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the rooms. And give them wine to drink.

³³ So says Jehovah of Hosts: The sons of Israel and the sons of Judah were oppressed together. And all who captured them held them fast; they refused to let them go. ³⁴ Their Redeemer is strong; Jehovah of Hosts, is His name. He shall thoroughly plead their cause, so that he may give rest to the land, and give trouble to the people of Babylon.

¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to return a word to you on this matter. ¹⁷ If it is so that our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, then He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. ¹⁸ But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods nor worship the golden image which you have set up.

¹³ Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel, who is of the exiled sons of Judah, has not respected you, O king, nor the ban that you have signed, but makes his prayer three times a day.

¹¹ Ephraim is crushed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

³ who also eat the flesh of My people, and strip their skin off them. And they break their bones and chop them in pieces, like that in the pot, like those in the middle of the kettle.

¹⁶ For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels, so that I should make you a ruin and its people a hissing; therefore you shall bear the shame of My people.

¹⁴ Draw waters for the siege; fortify your strongholds; go into the clay, and tread the mortar; make the brick mold strong.

²⁸ And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

⁴² And whoever shall give to one of these little ones a cup of cold water to drink, only in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, He shall in no way lose his reward.

³⁸ But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and get hold of his inheritance.

⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you have done it to Me.

⁵⁰ And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.

⁵ But I will warn you of whom you shall fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear Him.

¹⁹ Then the Pharisees said among themselves, Do you see how you gain nothing? Behold, the world has gone after Him.

² being grieved that they taught the people, even to announce through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. ³ And they laid hands on them and put them under guard until the next day, for it was already evening. ⁴ But many of those who heard the Word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

¹⁸ And they called them and commanded them not to speak at all, nor to teach in the name of Jesus. ¹⁹ But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right before God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. ²⁰ For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

²⁸ saying, Did we not strictly command you that you not teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine and intend to bring this man's blood on us. ²⁹ And Peter and the apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

²⁹ And Peter and the apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. ³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed and hanged on a tree. ³¹ This One God has exalted to be a Ruler and Savior to His right hand in order to give repentance and remission of sins to Israel. ³² And we are His witnesses of these things. And so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him. ³³ But those hearing were cut to the heart, and they took counsel to kill them.

¹⁴ And seeing, Joseph called his father Jacob, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls. ¹⁵ And Jacob went down into Egypt and died, he and our fathers, ¹⁶ and were carried over into Shechem. And they were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of Emmor the father of Shechem. ¹⁷ But as the time was drawing near, of the promise which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, ¹⁸ until another king arose who did not know Joseph.

¹⁸ until another king arose who did not know Joseph. ¹⁹ Dealing subtly with our race, this one oppressed our fathers, causing their infants to be exposed, so as not to be left alive.

³⁴ "I have seen, the affliction of My people in Egypt, and I have heard their groan; and I came down to pluck them out. And now come, I will send you into Egypt."

¹² And when it became day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool so that he may be wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, "He takes the wise in their own craftiness." ²⁰ And again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain."

³ For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, slaving for various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

⁶ for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and He scourges every son whom He receives." ⁷ If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons, for what son is he whom the father does not chasten? ⁸ But if you are without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then you are bastards and not sons. ⁹ Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? ¹⁰ For truly they chastened us for a few days according to their own pleasure, but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness. ¹¹ Now chastening for the present does not seem to be joyous, but grievous. Nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are exercised by it.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

¹⁵ This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. ¹⁶ For where envying and strife are, there is confusion and every foul deed.

¹⁶ For where envying and strife are, there is confusion and every foul deed. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first truly pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

⁵ Do you think that the Scripture says in vain, The spirit that dwells in us yearns to envy?

⁴ And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousands, having been sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel. ⁵ Out of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand had been sealed.

Out of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand had been sealed. ⁷ Out of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand had been sealed. ⁸ Out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand had been sealed.

⁴ And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them onto the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman being about to bear, so that when she bears he might devour her child.

⁴ And the third angel poured out his vial on the rivers and fountains of waters, and they became blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters say, Righteous is the Lord, who is, and was, and who will be, because You have judged these things, ⁶ since they have poured out the blood of the saints and prophets; and You gave them blood to drink, for they were deserving.
