²⁵ Then take it from off their hands and burn it upon the altar: even upon the burnt offering, to be a savour of sweetness before the LORD. For it is a sacrifice unto the LORD.

⁹ But the inwards and the legs they shall wash in water, and the priest shall burn altogether upon the altar, that it be a burnt sacrifice, and an offering of a sweet odour unto the LORD.

¹³ But let him wash the inwards and the legs with water, and then bring altogether and burn it upon the altar: that is a burnt offering and a sacrifice of sweet savour unto the LORD.

¹⁷ and break his wings, but pluck them not asunder. And then let the priest burn it upon the altar, even upon the wood that lieth upon the fire, a burnt sacrifice and an offering of a sweet savour unto the LORD.'"

³¹ And I will make your cities desolate, and bring your sanctuaries unto nought, and will not smell the savours of your sweet odours.

⁴ Who can make it clean, that cometh from an unclean thing? Nobody.

¹⁴ What is man, that he should be clean? What hath he, which is born of a woman, whereby he might be known to be righteous? ¹⁵ Behold, he doth not trust his saints; yea, the very heavens are not clean in his sight. ¹⁶ How much more then an abominable and vile man, which drinketh wickedness like water?

⁵ Behold, I was born in wickedness, and in sin hath my mother conceived me.

³ The ungodly are froward, even from their mother's womb; as soon as they be born, they go astray and speak lies.

⁹ Who can say, "My heart is clean, I am innocent from sin"?

²⁰ For there is not one just upon earth, that doth good, and sinneth not.

¹⁰ O how fair are thy breasts, my sister, my spouse? Thy breasts are more pleasant than wine, and the smell of thine ointments passeth all spices. ¹¹ Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb; yea, milk and honey is under thy tongue, and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of frankincense.

¹² Now go to thy conjurers, and to the multitude of thy witches, whom thou hast been acquainted with from thy youth, if they may help thee, or strengthen thee.

¹⁵ Even so shall they be unto thee whom thou hast used and occupied from thy youth. Every one shall show thee his erroneous way, yet shall none of them defend thee.

⁸ Moreover, there be some whereof thou hast neither heard nor know, neither have they been open unto thine ears afore time. For I know that thou wouldest maliciously offend, therefore have I called thee a transgressor, even from thy mother's womb.

⁶ And we went astray as sheep, and turned every man his way: and the LORD put on him the wickedness of us all.

⁹ And this must be unto me as the water of Noah. For like as I have sworn that I will not bring the water of Noah any more upon the world: so have I sworn, that I will never be angry with thee, nor reprove thee. ¹⁰ The mountains shall remove, and the hills shall fall down: but my loving-kindness shall not move, and the bond of my peace shall not fall down from thee, sayeth the LORD thy merciful lover.

⁶ Behold, it is written before my face, and shall not be forgotten, but recompensed. I shall reward it them into their bosom:

⁶ For I have looked, and considered: but there is no man that speaketh a good word. There is no man that taketh repentance for his sin, that will so much as say, 'Wherefore have I done this?' But every man, as soon as he is turned back, runneth forth still, like a wild horse in a battle.

⁹ Among all things living, man hath the most deceitful and unsearchable heart. Who shall then know it?

¹² But they say, 'No more of this, we will follow our own imaginations, and do every man according to the wilfulness of his own mind.'

⁴¹ I will accept your sweet savour, when I bring you from the nations, and gather you together out of the lands, wherein ye be scattered: that I may be hallowed in you before the Heathen.

²¹ "'I hate and abhor your holidays, and whereas ye cense me when ye come together I will not accept it. ²² And though ye offer me burnt offerings and meat offerings, yet have I no pleasure therein. As for your fat thank offerings, I will not look upon them.

¹⁹ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, breaking of wedlock, whoredom, theft, false witness-bearing, blasphemy.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh, is flesh. And that which is born of the spirit, is spirit.

²¹ inasmuch as when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful: but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations. And their foolish hearts were blinded.

²³ There is no difference: For all have sinned, and lack the praise that is of valour before God:

⁷ because that the fleshly mind is enmity against God: For it is not obedient to the law of God, neither can be. ⁸ So then, they that are given to the flesh, cannot please God.

¹⁵ For we are unto God the sweet savor of Christ, both among them that are saved, and also among them which perish:

¹ And you hath he quickened also, that were dead in trespass and sin: ² in the which, in time past, ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the governor that ruleth in the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of unbelief, ³ among which we also had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of our flesh, and fulfilled the will of the flesh, and of the mind: and were naturally the children of wrath, even as well as others.

² and walk in love even as Christ loved us, and gave himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet savour to God.

¹⁸ I received all, and have plenty. I was even filled after that I have received of Epaphroditus, that which came from you, an odor that smelleth sweet, a sacrifice accepted and pleasant to God.

¹⁴ But every man is tempted, drawn away, and enticed of his own concupiscence. ¹⁵ Then when lust hath conceived, she bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death.

¹ From whence cometh war, and fighting among you? Come they not here hence, even of your voluptuousness that raineth in your members? ² Ye lust, and have not. Ye envy and have indignation, and cannot obtain. Ye fight and war, and have not, because ye ask not.

⁶ by the which things the world that then was perished, overflowen with the water. ⁷ But the heavens verily and earth which are now, are kept by the same word in store, and reserved unto fire, against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

¹⁹ We know that we be of God, and that the world is altogether set on mischief.

⁶ For this is the second year of dearth in the land, and five more are behind in which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

²¹ "Six days thou shalt work, and the seventh thou shalt rest: both from earing and reaping.

¹⁶ The day is thine. The night is thine. Thou hast prepared the lights and the sun. ¹⁷ Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; thou hast made both summer and winter.

⁸ When I was angry, I hid my face from thee for a little season, but through everlasting goodness shall I pardon thee, sayeth the LORD thine avenger. ⁹ And this must be unto me as the water of Noah. For like as I have sworn that I will not bring the water of Noah any more upon the world: so have I sworn, that I will never be angry with thee, nor reprove thee.

²⁴ They think not in their hearts, 'O let us fear the LORD our God, that giveth us rain, early and late, when need is: which keepeth ever still the harvest for us yearly.'

³⁵ "Thus sayeth the LORD which gave the sun to be a light for the day, and the moon and stars to shine in the night: which moveth the sea, so that the floods thereof wax fierce: his name is the LORD of Hosts.

²⁰ "Thus sayeth the LORD: May the covenant which I have made with day and night be broken, that there should not be day and night in due season? ²¹ Then may my covenant also be broken, which I made with David my servant, and so he not to have a son to reign in his Throne. So shall also the priests and Levites never fail, but serve me. ²² For like as the stars of heaven may not be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and of the Levites my ministers." ²³ Moreover, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, ²⁴ "Considerest thou not what this people speaketh? 'Two kindreds,' say they, 'had the LORD chosen, and those same two hath he cast away.' For so far is my people come, that they have no hope to come together any more, and to be one people again. ²⁵ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD: If I have made no covenant with day and night, and given no statute unto heaven and earth; ²⁶ then will I also cast away the seed of David my servant: so that I will take no prince out of his seed, to rule the posterity of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But yet I will turn again their captivity, and be merciful unto them."

⁷ Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience there upon, until he receive the early and the latter rain.
