They are morally-corrupt together. There is none who does good, no, not one.

¹⁷ Make them holy in the truth; your word is truth.

³ for you are still fleshly. For where there is jealousy and strife and dissensions among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking according to the manner of man?

¹⁷ also able to accept the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

¹⁸ Having willed it, he gave-birth to us with the word of truth, that we might be a certain first-fruit of his created things.

² that you should no longer have your life, (the rest of your time in the flesh), in the lusts of men, but in the will of God. ³ For enough time which has passed away from our life is for us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, and having conducted-ourselves in: unbridled-lusts, lusts, drunkenness, revelings, drinking-bouts and illegal idolatries;

⁸ Be sober! Watch! Your opponent, the devil, like a roaring lion, is walking around seeking whom he may swallow,

¹¹ They have the messenger of the abyss as king over them. His name in Hebrew is Abbadon but in the Greek language he has the name Apollyon.

⁹ He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness, for by strength no man will prevail.

¹¹ My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way and not turned aside.

³⁶ You have enlarged my steps under me and my feet have not slipped.

¹⁶ Because I said, Lest they rejoice over me. When my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.

¹⁸ Our heart is not turned back, nor have our steps declined from your way,

¹⁸ When I said, My foot slips, your loving kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.

¹¹⁶ Uphold me according to your word, that I may live and do not let me be ashamed of my hope. ¹¹⁷ Hold me up and I will be safe and will have respect for your statutes continually.

¹³³ Establish my footsteps in your word and do not let any wickedness have dominion over me.

³ He will not allow your foot to slip. He who keeps you will not slumber.

⁷ Jehovah will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

²³ O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

³ Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death, ⁴ lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice because I am shaken.

¹⁶ As for me, I will call upon God and Jehovah will save me.

¹⁹ But truly God has heard. He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
²⁰ Kneel to God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.

⁷ I will call upon you in the day of my trouble, because you will answer me.

² Let my prayer enter into your presence. Incline your ear to my cry.

² Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call as long as I live.

¹⁷ Incline your ear, O Jehovah and hear. Open your eyes, O Jehovah and see and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.

²⁰ Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Jehovah, even you only.

¹⁷ Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his supplications and cause your face to shine upon your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.

⁶ Your right hand, O Jehovah, is glorious in power. Your right hand, O Jehovah, dashes the enemy in pieces.

⁴⁵ Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
⁴⁶ This day Jehovah will deliver you into my hand and I will kill* you and take your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the armies of the Philistines this day to the birds of the heavens and to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, ⁴⁷ and that all this assembly may know that Jehovah saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is Jehovah's and he will give you* into our hand.
⁴⁸ And it happened, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hastened and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. ⁴⁹ And David put his hand in his bag and took from there a stone and slung it and killed* the Philistine in his forehead. And the stone sank into his forehead and he fell upon his face to the earth.
⁵⁰ So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone and killed* the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David.
⁵¹ Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of the sheath of it and killed him and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
⁵² And the men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted and pursued the Philistines until you come to Gai and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron. ⁵³ And the sons of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines and they plundered their camp.
⁵⁴ And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.
⁵⁵ And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell. ⁵⁶ And the king said, Inquire you whose son the stripling is.
⁵⁷ And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

²⁸ I beseech you, forgive the trespass of your handmaid. For Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah and evil will not be found in you all your days. ²⁹ And though men have risen up to pursue you and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah your God. And the souls of your enemies, them he will sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

²² Whom have you defied and blasphemed? And against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.

³⁴ For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for my servant David's sake.

⁹ For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong to those whose heart is perfect toward him. In this you have done foolishly, for from hereafter you will have wars.

¹¹ But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them shout for joy everlasting, because you defend them. Let those also who love your name be joyful in you. ¹² Because you will bless the righteous man, O Jehovah. You will encompass him with favor as with a shield. Selah.

¹² Arise, O Jehovah, O God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the poor.
¹³ Why does the wicked man despise God and say in his heart, You will not require it?
¹⁴ You have seen. Because you behold mischief and spite, to repay with your hand. The poor man commits himself to you. You have been the helper of the fatherless. ¹⁵ Break you the arm of the sinner and the evil man. His wickedness will be sought and will not be found. ¹⁶ Jehovah is King everlasting and forever. The nations have perished out of his land.

⁶ Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

²¹ Praise Jehovah, because he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.

³ Because they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm and the light of your countenance, because you were favorable to them.

⁵ That your beloved ones may be delivered, save with your right hand and answer us.

¹² He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

¹⁰ Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

³³ Therefore having been exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out this, which you are seeing and hearing now.

²⁰ But the law entered in beside us, in order that the trespass might increase, but where sin increased, the favor over-abounded; ²¹ in order that, just-as sin reigned in death, so also the favor might also reign through righteousness to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

³ And they are singing the song of Moses the bondservant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; your ways are righteous and true, the King of the nations.

¹⁰ He found him in a desert land and in the waste howling wilderness. He compassed him about. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.

¹² Jehovah recompense your work and a full reward be given you of Jehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.

⁷ How precious is your loving kindness, O God and the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

¹ Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, because my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge until calamities have passed by.

⁴ I will dwell in your tabernacle everlasting. I will take refuge in the covert of your wings. Selah.

⁷ Because you have been my help and in the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.

¹ He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will abide under the shadow of the Almighty

⁴ He will cover you with his pinions and under his wings will you take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.

² Keep my commandments and live and my law as the apple of your eye.

⁸ For Jehovah of hosts says thus: After glory he has sent me to the nations which plundered you*. For he who touches you* touches the apple of his eye.

³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who have been sent to her! How-often I willed to have gathered together your children in the manner a bird gathers together her brood under her wings, and you did not will it!

³⁴ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who have been sent to her! How-often I wished to have gathered together your children in the manner a bird gathers together her own brood under her wings, and you did not wish for it!

¹¹ Moreover, my father, see, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand, for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe and killed you not. Know and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt after my life to take it.

⁹ And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and be moved no more. Neither will the sons of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,

⁵ let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it. Yes, let him tread my life down to the earth and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

²⁰ In the covert of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

⁴ Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor who seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and confounded who devise my hurt.

⁷ Because without cause they have hid their net for me in a pit. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

¹² They reward me evil for good, bereaving my soul.

² And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah and moreover I will not let Israel go.

⁹ The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my desire will be satisfied upon them. I will draw my sword, my hand will destroy them.

¹⁵ But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he forsook God who made him and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

³ Talk no more so very proudly. Do not let arrogance come out of your* mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge and by him actions are weighed.

²⁷ because he has covered his face with his fatness and gathered fat upon his loins.

³ Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks great things, ⁴ who have said, We prevail with our tongue will. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?

¹⁸ Let the lying lips be dumb, which arrogantly speak against the righteous man, with pride and contempt.

⁷ Their eyes stand out with fatness. They have more than heart could wish.
⁸ They scoff and utter oppression in wickedness. They speak loftily. ⁹ They have set their mouth in the heavens and their tongue walks through the earth.

⁷⁰ Their heart is like fat like grease, but I delight in your law.

⁴ Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease and with the contempt of the proud.

¹⁰ Make the heart of this people fat and make their ears heavy and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn and be healed.

¹⁵ for the heart of this people has become-callous and they have selectively heard with the ears and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes and should hear with their ears and should understand with their heart and should turn again and I will be healing them.’

²⁷ for the heart of this people has become-callous and they have selectively heard with the ir ears and they have closed their eyes. Lest, they should see with the ir eyes and should hear with the ir ears and should understand with the ir heart and should return and I will be healing them.’

¹⁸ For while speaking flattering-words of futility, they entice (with the lusts of the flesh to unbridled-lusts) those who really had fled away from those who conduct themselves in error.

⁵ And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to him, and authority to make war forty-two months was given to him. ⁶ And he opened his mouth to blaspheme toward God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and blaspheme those who are residing in the heaven.

²⁶ And Saul went on this side of the mountain and David and his men on that side of the mountain. And David made haste to get away for fear of Saul. For Saul and his men encompassed David and his men all around to take them.

² Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
³ And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where was a cave and Saul went in to cover his feet. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave.

² Then Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph. ³ And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert by the way. But David abode in the wilderness and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

⁸ He sits in the lurking-places of the villages. He murders the innocent man in the covert places. His eyes are secretly set against the poor man. ⁹ He lurks in secret as a lion in his covering. He lies in wait to catch the poor man. He catches the poor man when he draws him in his net. ¹⁰ He crouches, he bows down and helpless men fall by his strong men.

¹⁴ The wicked have drawn out the sword and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill such as are upright in the way.

¹⁷ They came all around me like water all the day long. They encompassed me around together.

¹³ who winks with his eyes, who speaks with his feet, who makes signs with his fingers, ¹⁴ in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who sows discord.

² lest they tear my soul like a lion, tearing it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

⁹ He lurks in secret as a lion in his covering. He lies in wait to catch the poor man. He catches the poor man when he draws him in his net.

¹³ They opened wide their mouth upon me, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹⁷ But the Lord stood beside me and empowered me; in order that the preaching might be fully assured through me and in order that all the Gentiles might hear and I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.

⁷ Arise, O Jehovah. Save me, O my God. Because you have struck all my enemies upon the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

⁶ Arise, O Jehovah, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries and awake for me the justice you have commanded.

¹¹ God is a righteous judge. Yes, a God who has indignation every day.
¹² If a man does not repent, he will flash his sword. He has bent his bow and made it ready. ¹³ He has also prepared for him the instruments of death. He makes his arrows fiery.

²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword, the only one of me from the power of the dog.

²³ Awake, why do you sleep, O Lord? Arise, cast not off forever.

²⁶ Rise up for our help and redeem us for your loving kindness' sake.

¹²⁶ It is time for Jehovah to work. They have made void your law.

⁵ Ho, Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!

¹⁵ Shall the axe boast itself against he who hews with it? Shall the saw magnify itself against he who wields it? As if a rod should wield those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up he who is not wood.

⁵ They come from a far country, from the outermost part of heaven, even Jehovah and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

²⁶ Have you not heard how I have done it from afar and formed it of long-ago? Now I have made it occur, that it should be your to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.

⁹ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah. Awake, as in the days of long-ago, the generations of everlasting. Is it not you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?

¹² Are not you from long-ago, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We will not die. O Jehovah, you have placed him for judgment and you, O Rock, have established him for correction.

²⁸ to do as many things as your hand and your council predetermined to happen.

⁶ The tents of robbers prosper and those who provoke God are secure. Into whose hand God brings abundantly.

⁹ Who does not know in all these, that the hand of Jehovah has worked this,

⁷ Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, grow mighty in power? ⁸ Their seed is established with them in their sight and their offspring before their eyes. ⁹ Their houses are safe from fear, nor is the rod of God upon them. ¹⁰ Their bull breeds and does not fail. Their cow brings forth safely and does not miscarry. ¹¹ They send forth their little ones like a flock and their children dance. ¹² They sing to the timbrel and harp and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
¹³ They spend their days in prosperity and in a moment they go down to Sheol.
¹⁴ And they say to God, Depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of your ways. ¹⁵ What is the Almighty that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray to him?

²¹ For what does he care for his house after him when the number of his months is cut off?

¹⁸ Yet he filled their houses with good things. But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

¹⁴ If his sons be multiplied, it is for the sword. And his offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
¹⁵ Those who remain of him will be buried in death and his widows will make no lamentation.
¹⁶ Though he heaps up silver as the dust and prepares garments as the clay, ¹⁷ he may prepare it, but the just will put it on and the innocent will divide the silver.

⁶ Surely every man walks in a shadow. Surely they are in an uproar in vain. He heaps up and does not know who will gather them.

¹⁷ Because when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory will not descend after him.
¹⁸ Because while he lived he blessed his soul (and men praise you, when you do well for yourself), ¹⁹ he will go to the generation of his fathers. They will never see the light.

³ Because I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. ⁴ Because there are no pains in their death, but their strength is firm.
⁵ They are not in trouble as other men, nor are they plagued like other men. ⁶ Therefore pride is as a chain around their neck. Violence covers them as a garment.
⁷ Their eyes stand out with fatness. They have more than heart could wish.

¹² Behold, these are the wicked and those who prosper of old. They have possessed wealth.

⁴ if you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures,

⁴⁴ Again, the kingdom of the heavens is similar to a treasure that has been hidden in the field; which a man found and hid, and he goes and sells all his things in his joy, as many things as he has and buys that field.

¹⁹ And I will be saying to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years; rest yourself, eat, drink, and be joyous.
²⁰ But God said to him, Fool, your soul is asked back from you in this night, and the things which you prepared, whose will they be? ²¹ So is he who is storing up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, remember that you received your good things in your life and Lazarus likewise evil things, but now he is comforted here and you are in anguish.

²⁷ But he said, Therefore father, I am requesting him in order that you should send him to my father’s house; ²⁸ for I have five brethren; that he may thoroughly testify to them, in order that they may not even come into this place of torment.

²³ And he said to them, You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.

¹⁹ If you were from the world, the world would love its own, but because you are not from the world, but I chose you out of the world, the world is hating you because of this.

¹⁴ I have given them your word, and the world hated them, because they are not from the world, just-as I am not from the world.

⁵ You have caroused upon the land and are self-indulgent; you have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

⁸ With him I will speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly and not in dark speeches and he has beheld the form of Jehovah. Why then were you* not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

¹⁵ And if it seems evil to you* to serve Jehovah, choose you* this day whom you* will serve: whether the gods which your* fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you* dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah.

¹² so man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens be no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

²⁶ And after my skin, this body, is destroyed, then outside my flesh I will see God, ²⁷ whom I, even I, will see on my side and my eyes will behold and not as a stranger. My heart is consumed within me.

⁶ There are many who say, Who will show us good? Jehovah, lift you up the light of your countenance upon us. ⁷ You have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

⁷ But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will worship toward your holy temple in your fear.

⁷ Because Jehovah is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright man will behold his face.

¹¹ You made known to me the path of life. You will fill me of joy with your countenance.

⁸ They will be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house and you will make them drink of the river of your pleasures. ⁹ Because the fountain of life is with you. We will see light in your light.

¹⁴ They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death will be their shepherd and the upright will have dominion over them in the morning. And their beauty will be for Sheol to consume, that there is no habitation for it.

⁴ The man is fortunate whom you choose and cause to approach, that he may dwell in your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.

¹¹¹ I have taken your testimonies as a heritage everlasting, because they are the rejoicing of my heart.

¹⁹ Your dead will live. My dead bodies will arise. Awake and sing, you* who dwell in the dust, for your dew is as the dew of herbs and the earth will cast forth the dead.

¹⁸ But we all, with our face having been unveiled, seeing the reflection of the glory of the Lord for ourselves, are being transfigured into the same image from glory into glory, just-as from the Lord, the Spirit.

²¹ He will fashion the body of our humbleness, that it may become transformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of which he is able to even subject all things to himself.

² Beloved, we are now the children of God and it was not yet manifested what we will be. But we know that, if he is manifested, we will be similar to him, because we will be seeing him just-as he is. ³ And everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, just-as that man is pure.

¹⁶ They will not be hungry anymore, nor thirsty anymore; nor should the heat of the sun fall upon them, nor any heat, ¹⁷ because the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, is shepherding them and is guiding them to the springs of waters of life and God will be wiping-away every tear from their eyes.

³ And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men and he will be residing with them and they will be his people and God will be with them. ⁴ And he will be wiping-away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no death anymore. There will be no mourning, no crying, no pain anymore because the first things have passed away.

²³ And the city has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, in order that they should appear in it; for the glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.
