And thou shalt bring thy father, thy mother, thy brethren, and all thy father's household, even into the house to thee. ¹⁹ And then whosoever go out at the doors of thy house, into the street, his blood shall be upon his own head, and we guiltless. And whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood be upon our heads if any man's hand be upon him: ²⁰ And even so if thou utter these our words, we will be quit of thy oath which thou hast made us swear." ²¹ And she said, "According unto your words, so be it."

²⁷ For thou, LORD of Hosts, God of Israel, hast told in the ear of thy servant, saying, "I will build thee a house. And therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. ²⁸ And now, Lord Jehovah, thou art the God, and thy words must be true: for thou hast told this goodness unto thy servant. ²⁹ And now go to and bless the household of thy servant, that it may continue forever before thee.

⁵ He giveth meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

¹ {A song of the stairs} Except the LORD build the house, their labour is but lost that build it. Except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

³ Lo, children, and the fruit of the womb are a heritage and gift, that cometh of the LORD.

¹⁹ He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and helpeth them.

¹¹ if they entice thee, and say, "Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, and lurk privily for the innocent without a cause:

¹⁶ For their feet run to evil, and are hasty to shed blood.

¹⁶ For they cannot sleep, except they have first done some mischief: neither take they any rest, except they have first done some harm.

¹³ With me is the fear of the LORD, and the eschewing of evil. As for pride, disdain, and evil way, and a mouth that speaketh wicked things, I utterly abhor them.

²⁸ The increase and prosperity of the commons is the king's honour; but the decay of the people is the confusion of the prince.

⁶ With loving mercy and faithfulness, sins be forgiven; and whoso searcheth the LORD eschewth evil.

²⁵ There is a way that men think to be right; but the end thereof leadeth unto death.

¹⁷ He that hath pity upon the poor, lendeth unto the LORD; and look, what he layeth out, it shall be paid him again.

³⁰ There is no wisdom, there is no understanding, there is no counsel against the LORD.

³ Through wisdom a house shall be builded, and with understanding it shall be set up.

¹¹ Deliver them that go unto death, and are led away to be slain, and be not negligent therein. ¹² If thou wilt say, "I knew not of it"; Thinkest thou that he which made the hearts, doth not consider it? And that he which regardeth thy soul, seeth it not? Shall not he recompense every man according to his works?

⁴ Wrath is a cruel thing, and furiousness is a very tempest; yea, who is able to abide envy?

¹⁸ Yea, I was weary of all my labour, which I had taken under the Sun, because I should be fain to leave them unto another man, that cometh after me. ¹⁹ For who knoweth, whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? And yet shall he be lord of all my labours, which I with such wisdom have taken under the Sun. Is not this a vain thing?

⁴ Again, I saw that all travail and diligence of labour was hated of every man. This is also a vain thing, and a vexation of mind.

⁴ Like as when a king giveth a charge, his commandment is mighty: Even so whom may say unto him, "What doest thou?"

¹² But though an evil person offend a hundredth times, and have a long life: yet am I sure, that it shall go well with them that fear God, because they have him before their eyes.

¹⁵ And in the city there was found a poor man - but he was wise - which with his wisdom delivered the city: yet was there no body, that had any respect for such a simple man.

² "Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and call them out, and bring them to the house of the LORD, into some commodious place, and give them wine to drink."

¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, an said, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we ought not to consent unto thee in this matter. For why? ¹⁷ Our God whom we serve, is able to keep us from the hot burning oven, O king, and can right well deliver us out of thy hands: ¹⁸ And if he will not, yet shalt thou know, O king, that we will not serve thy Gods, nor do reverence to the Image which thou hast set up."

¹⁶ Ye keep the ordinances of Omri, and all the customs of the house of Ahab: Ye follow their pleasures, therefore will I make thee waste, and cause thy inhabiters to be abhorred, O my people: and thus shalt thou bear thine own shame.

¹⁴ Draw water now against thou be besieged, make up thy strongholds, go into the clay, temper the mortar, make strong brick:

² taking it grievously that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from death. ³ And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold until the next day. For it was now eventide. ⁴ Howbeit, many of them, which heard the words, believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

¹⁸ And they called them, and commanded them that in no wise they should speak or teach in the name of Jesus. ¹⁹ But Peter and John answered unto them and said, "Whether it be right in the sight of God to obey you more than God, judge ye. ²⁰ For we cannot but speak that which we have seen and heard."

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

²⁹ Peter and the other apostles answered, and said, "We ought more to obey God than men. ³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on tree. ³¹ Him hath God lift up with his right hand, to be a ruler and a saviour: for to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. ³² And we are his records as concerning these things: and also the holy ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." ³³ When they heard that, they clave asunder, and sought means to slay them.

²⁸ For we know well that all things work for the best unto them that love God, which also are called of purpose.

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. If any man seem wise among you, let him be a fool in this world, that he may be wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.

What son is that whom the father chasteneth not? ⁸ If ye be not under correction — whereof all are partakers — then are ye bastards and not sons. ⁹ Moreover, seeing we had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: should we not much rather be in subjection unto the father of spiritual gifts that we might live? ¹⁰ And they verily for a few days nurtured us after their own pleasure; but he learneth us unto that which is profitable, that we might receive of his holiness. ¹¹ No manner chastising for the present time seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it bringeth the quiet fruit of righteousness unto them which are therein exercised.

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, rejoice not: neither be liars against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom descendeth not from above: but is earthy, and natural, and devilish.

¹⁵ This wisdom descendeth not from above: but is earthy, and natural, and devilish. ¹⁶ For where envying and strife is, there is unstableness, and all manner of evil works:

¹⁶ For where envying and strife is, there is unstableness, and all manner of evil works: ¹⁷ but the wisdom that is from above, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, and without simulation. ¹⁸ Yea, and the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace, of them that maintain peace.
