³² And they brought unto him one that was deaf, and stammered in his speech, and prayed him to lay his hand upon him. ³³ And he took him aside from the people, and put his fingers in his ears, and did spit, and touched his tongue, ³⁴ and looked up to heaven and sighted, and said unto him, "Ephphatha," that is to say, "Be opened." ³⁵ And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. ³⁶ And he commanded them that they should tell no man. But the more he forbade them, so much the more a great deal they published it. ³⁷ And were beyond measure astonished, saying, "He hath done all things well, and hath made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak."

²² And he came to Bethsaida, and they brought a blind man unto him and desired him, to touch him. ²³ And he caught the blind by the hand, and led him out of the town, and spat in his eyes and put his hands upon him, and asked him whether he saw ought. ²⁴ And he looked up and said, "I see the men; For I see them walk as they were trees." ²⁵ After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him see. And he was restored to his sight, and saw every man clearly.

²⁵ When Jesus saw that the people came running together unto him, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee come out of him, and enter no more into him." ²⁶ And the spirit cried, and rent him sore and came out: And he was as one that had been dead, insomuch that many said, "He is dead."

¹⁸ "The spirit of the Lord upon me, because he hath anointed me; To preach the gospel to the poor he hath sent me; And to heal which are broken hearted: To preach deliverance to the captive; And sight to the blind; And freely to set at liberty them that are bruised;

²⁰ When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist sent us unto thee saying, "Art thou he that shall come: or shall we wait for another?" ²¹ And at the same time, he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits: and unto many that were blind, he gave sight. ²² And Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Go your ways and show John, what things ye have heard and seen: how that the blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead arise: To the poor is the glad tidings preached, ²³ and happy is he that is not offended by me."

¹ And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth; ² And his disciples asked him saying, "Master, who did sin: this man, or his father and mother, that he was born blind?" ³ Jesus answered, "Neither this man hath sinned, nor yet his father and mother: but that the works of God should be showed on him. ⁴ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day. The night cometh, when no man can work. ⁵ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." ⁶ As soon as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind, ⁷ and said unto him, "Go wash thee in the pool of Siloam" — which by interpretation, signifieth Sent. He went his way and washed, and came again seeing.

³⁹ Jesus said, "I am come unto judgment, into this world: that they which see not, might see, and they which see might be made blind."

³⁷ And some of them said, "Could not he which opened the eyes of the blind, have made also, that this man should not have died?"

¹⁷ Ananias went his way and entered into the house and put his hands on him and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight and be filled with the holy ghost." ¹⁸ And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales and he received his sight, and arose and was baptised.

¹⁸ to open their eyes that they might turn from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith in me.'

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the father of glory, might give unto you the spirit of wisdom, and open to you the knowledge of himself, ¹⁸ and lighten the eyes of your minds, that ye might know what thing that hope is, whereunto he hath called you, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is upon the saints,

¹⁴ Wherefore he saith, "Awake thou that sleepest, and stand up from death, and Christ shall give thee light."

⁶ Behold, I will stand there before thee upon a rock in Horeb: and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out thereof, that the people may drink." And Moses did even so before the elders of Israel.

¹¹ And Moses lift up his hand with his staff and smote the rock two times, and the water came out abundantly, and the multitude drank and their beasts also.

¹⁵ and gavest them bread from heaven when they were hungry, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock when they were thirsty: and promised them, that they should go in, and take possession of the land, over which thou hadst lift up thine hand for to give them.

⁴ The rivers of the flood thereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy dwelling of the most highest.

¹⁵ Open my lips, O LORD, that my mouth may show thy praise.

¹⁵ He clove the hard rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of the great depth. ¹⁶ He brought waters out of the stony rock, so that it gushed out like the rivers.

¹ But the desert and wilderness shall rejoice, the waste ground shall be glad, and flourish as the lily.

¹⁷ When the thirsty and poor seek water, and find none, and when their tongue is dry of thirst: I give it them, sayeth the LORD. I, the God of Israel, forsake them not. ¹⁸ I bring forth floods in the hills, and wells in the plain fields. I turn the wilderness to rivers, and the dry land to conduits of water.

¹⁹ Behold, I shall make a new thing, and shortly shall it appear. Ye shall well know it; I told it you afore, but I will tell it you again. I will make streets in the desert, and rivers of water in the wilderness. ²⁰ The wild beasts shall worship me: the dragon, and the Ostrich. For I shall give water in the wilderness, and streams in the desert: that I may give drink to my people, whom I choose.

²¹ that they suffered no thirst, when they travailed in the wilderness. He clave the rocks asunder, and the water gushed out."

¹⁰ There shall neither hunger nor thirst, heat nor Sun hurt them. For he that favoureth them shall lead them, and give them drink of the spring wells. ¹¹ I will make ways upon all my mountains, and my foot paths shall be exalted.

¹ After this he brought me again before the door of the house: and behold, there gushed out waters from under the posts of the house eastward - for the house stood toward the east - that ran down upon the right side of the house, which lieth to the altar southward. ² Then carried he me out to the north door, and brought me forth there, roundabout by the utmost door that turneth eastward. Behold, there came forth the water upon the right side. ³ Now when the man that had the measuring rod in his hand went unto the east door, he measured a thousand cubits, and then he brought me through the water, even to the ankles: ⁴ so he measured yet a thousand, and brought me through the water again unto the knees: yet measured he a thousand, and brought me through the waters unto the loins. ⁵ After this he measured a thousand again, then was it such a river, that I might not wade through it: The water was so deep, that it was needful to have swimmed, for it might not be waded over. ⁶ And he said unto me, "Hast thou seen this, O thou son of man?" And with that, he brought me to the river bank again. ⁷ Now when I came there, there stood many trees upon either side of the riverbank. ⁸ Then said he unto me, "This water that floweth out toward the East, and runneth down into the plain field, cometh into the sea: and from the sea it runneth out, and maketh the waters whole. ⁹ Yea, all that live and move, whereunto this river cometh, shall recover. And where this water cometh, there shall be many fish; For all that cometh to this water, shall be lusty and whole. ¹⁰ By this river shall the fishers stand from Engedi unto Eneglaim, and there spread out their nets: for there shall be great heaps of fish, like as in the main sea. ¹¹ As for his clay and pits, they shall not be whole. For why? It shall be occupied for salt.

⁸ In that time shall there waters of life run out from Jerusalem: the half part of them toward the east sea, and the other half toward the utmost sea, and shall continue both summer and winter.

³² As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed of a devil. ³³ And as soon as the devil was cast out, the dumb spake. And the people marveled, saying, "It was never so seen in Israel."

⁵ The blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are risen again, and the glad tidings is preached to the poor.

³⁰ And much people came unto him, having with them halt, blind, dumb, maimed, and other many: and cast them down at Jesus' feet. And he healed them, ³¹ insomuch that the people wondered, to see the dumb speak, the maimed whole; and the halt to go, the blind to see. And they glorified the God of Israel.

¹⁷ And one of the company answered, and said, "Master, I have brought my son unto thee, which hath a dumb spirit. ¹⁸ And whensoever he taketh him, he teareth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away. And I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out, and they could not." ¹⁹ He answered him and said, "O generation without faith, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me." ²⁰ And they brought him unto him. And as soon as the spirit saw him, he tare him. And he fell down on the ground, wallowing and foaming. ²¹ And he asked his father, "How long is it ago, since this hath happened him?" And he said, "Of a child. ²² And often times casteth him into the fire, and also into the water, to destroy him. But if thou canst do anything, have mercy on us, and help us." ²³ And Jesus said unto him, "Yea if thou couldest believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." ²⁴ And straightway the father of the child cried with tears, saying, "Lord I believe, help mine unbelief." ²⁵ When Jesus saw that the people came running together unto him, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee come out of him, and enter no more into him."

⁶⁴ And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue also, and he spake lauding God.

¹⁴ And he was a casting out a devil, which was dumb. And it followed when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake, and the people wondered.

⁸ And Jesus said unto him, "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk." ⁹ And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and went. And the same day was the Sabbath day.

³⁷ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. ³⁸ He that believeth on me, as sayeth the scripture, 'Out of his belly shall flow rivers of water of life.'" ³⁹ This spake he of the spirit, which they that believed on him should receive. For the holy ghost was not yet there, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.

² And there was a certain man halt from his mother's womb, whom they brought and laid at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask his alms of them that entered into the temple.

⁶ Then said Peter, "Silver and gold have I none: such as I have, give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." ⁷ And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up. And immediately his feet and anklebones received strength, ⁸ and he sprang, stood, and also walked, and entered with them into the temple: walking, and leaping, and lauding God.

⁷ For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed of them. And many taken with palsies, and many that halted, were healed.

⁸ And there sat a certain man at Lystra weak in his feet, being cripple from his mother's womb, and never walked. ⁹ The same heard Paul preach: which beheld him, and perceived that he had faith to be whole, ¹⁰ and said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on thy feet." And he started up, and walked.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdom. Teach and exhort your own selves, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs which have favour with them, singing in your hearts to the Lord.

¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the seat of God and of the lamb.

¹⁷ And the spirit and the bride said, "Come." And let him that heareth, say also "Come." And let him that is athirst come. And let whosoever will, take of the water of life free.

²² the little owls shall cry in the palaces, one after another, and Dragons shall be in their pleasant parlors. And as for Babylon's time, it is at hand, and her days shall not be prolonged.

⁶ The rivers also shall be drawn out, the wells shall decrease and dry away.

¹³ Thorns shall grow in their palaces, nettles and thistles in their strongholds; that the dragons may have their pleasure therein, and that they may be a court for Ostriches.

³ For I shall pour water upon the dry ground, and rivers upon the thirsty. I shall pour my spirit upon thy seed, and mine increase upon thy stock. ⁴ They shall grow together, like as the grass, and as the Willows by the waterside.

¹⁰ There shall neither hunger nor thirst, heat nor Sun hurt them. For he that favoureth them shall lead them, and give them drink of the spring wells.

¹⁰ And though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, which can neither be measured nor told: yet in the place where it is said unto them, 'Ye be not my people': even there shall it be thus reported of them, 'They be the children of the living God.' ¹¹ Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together again, and chose themselves one head, and then depart out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel."

⁴³ Therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to the Gentiles, which shall bring forth the fruits of it.

²⁹ And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

¹⁴ But whosoever shall drink of the water that I shall give him, shall never be more a thirst: But the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

³⁸ He that believeth on me, as sayeth the scripture, 'Out of his belly shall flow rivers of water of life.'"

⁹ Do ye not remember how that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. For neither fornicators, neither worshippers of images, neither whoremongers, neither weaklings, neither abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ neither thieves, neither the covetous, neither drunkards, neither cursed speakers, neither extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were ye verily: but ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified by the name of the Lord Jesus: And by the spirit of our God.

¹⁹ We know that we be of God, and that the world is altogether set on mischief. ²⁰ We know that the son of God is come, and hath given us understanding, to know him that is true: and we be in the truth through his son Jesus Christ. He is very God, and eternal life.

⁹ And the great dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan; Was cast out. Which deceiveth all the world. And he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out also. ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying, "In heaven is now made salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: For he is cast down which accused them before God day and night: ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death. ¹² Therefore rejoice heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth, and of the sea: for the devil is come down unto you, which hath great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

² And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying, "Great Babylon is fallen is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of all foul spirits, and a cage of all unclean and hateful birds,

² And he took the dragon, that old serpent which is the devil and Satan, and he bound him a thousand years: ³ and cast him into the bottomless pit, and he bound him, and set a seal on him, that he should deceive the people no more, till the thousand years were fulfilled. And after that he must be loosed for a little season.

⁷ The law of the LORD is an undefiled law, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, and giveth wisdom unto simple.

⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff comfort me.

⁸ Gracious and righteous is the LORD; therefore will he teach sinners in the way. ⁹ Them that are meek shall he guide in judgment; and such as are gentle, them shall he learn his way.

¹³⁰ When thy word goeth forth, it giveth light and understanding unto the simple.

¹⁸ The path of the righteous shineth as the light, and is ever brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.

²⁰ I walk in the way of righteousness, and in the street of judgment:

³ Then shall the remnant in Zion and the remnant at Jerusalem be called holy - namely, all such as are written among the living at Jerusalem -

¹⁶ And thus shall he make a way for his people, that remaineth from the Assyrians, like as it happened to the Israelites, what time they departed out of the land of Egypt.

²³ Then shall there be a common way out of Egypt into Assyria. The Assyrians shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptians into Assyria. The Egyptians also and the Assyrians shall both have one God's service.

²¹ and thine ears hearken to his word that cryeth after thee and sayeth, "This is the way. Walk ye in it. Turn not aside; neither to the righthand nor to the left."

⁸ The streets are waste, there walketh no man therein; the covenant is broken, the cities are despised; they are not regarded,

³ A voice crieth in the wilderness, "Prepare the way for the LORD, make straight the path for our God in the desert. ⁴ Let all valleys be exalted, and every mountain and hill be laid low. Whatso is crooked, let it be made straight, and let the rough places be made plain fields.

¹⁰ There shall neither hunger nor thirst, heat nor Sun hurt them. For he that favoureth them shall lead them, and give them drink of the spring wells. ¹¹ I will make ways upon all my mountains, and my foot paths shall be exalted. ¹² And behold, they shall come from far: lo, some from the north and west, some from the south.

¹ Up, Zion, up: take thy strength unto thee. Put on thy honest raiment O Jerusalem, thou city of the holy one. For from this time forth, there shall no uncircumcised nor unclean person come in thee.

¹¹ Away, away, get you out from thence and touch no unclean thing. Go out from among such. And be clean ye that bear the vessel of the LORD.

¹⁴ And therefore thus he sayeth, "Make ready, make ready, and clean the street, take up what ye can out of the way that leadeth to my people."

¹⁰ Go from gate to gate, and prepare the way for the people: cast up gravel, and make the way high and cleanse it of stones, and set up a banner for the people.

²¹ Get the watchman, provide teachers for thee: set thine heart upon the right way, that thou shouldest walk, and turn again, O thou daughter of Israel; turn again to these cities of thine.

³⁹ And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all the days of their life, that they and their children after them may prosper. ⁴⁰ And I will set up an everlasting covenant with them; Namely: that I will never cease to do them good, and that I will put my fear in their hearts, so that they shall not run away from me.

⁴ In those days, and at that time, sayeth the LORD, the children of Israel shall come; they and the children of Judah, weeping and making haste, and shall seek the LORD their God. ⁵ They shall ask the way to Zion; thither shall they turn their faces, and come and hang upon thee, in a covenant that never shall be broken.

¹² This is the description of the house: Above upon the mount round about all the corners, it shall be the holiest of all. Behold, that is the description and fashion of the house.

⁹ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Of all the strangers that dwell among the children of Israel, no stranger, whose heart and flesh is not circumcised, shall come within my Sanctuary:

¹⁷ And ye shall know that I, the LORD your God, dwell in Zion my holy mount. And Jerusalem shall be holy, and there shall no stranger pass through there any more.

²³ "Behold, a maiden shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us."

¹³ Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: ¹⁴ But strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

¹⁷ If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God: or whether I speak of myself.

⁶ Jesus said unto him, "I am the way, the truth and the life. And no man cometh unto the father, but by me.

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

⁷ For God hath not called us unto uncleanness: but unto holiness.

⁹ which saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our deeds, but according to his own purpose and grace, which grace was given us through Christ Jesus before the world was,

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation unto all men, hath appeared ¹² and teacheth us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and that we should live sober minded, righteously, and godly in this present world, ¹³ looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the mighty God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ: ¹⁴ which gave himself for us, to redeem us from all unrighteousness, and to purge us a peculiar people unto himself, fervently given unto good works.

²⁰ by the new and living way, which he hath prepared for us, through the veil, that is to say by his flesh. ²¹ And seeing also that we have a high priest which is ruler over the house of God, ²² let us draw nigh with a true heart in a full faith sprinkled in our hearts, from an evil conscience, and washed in our bodies with pure water, ²³ and let us keep the profession of our hope, without wavering — for he is faithful that promised -

¹⁴ Embrace peace with all men, and holiness; without the which, no man shall see the Lord.

¹⁴ as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves unto your old lusts of ignorance: ¹⁵ But as he which called you is holy, even so be ye holy in all manner of conversation,

⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people, that ye should show the virtues of him that called you out of darkness into his marvelous light, ¹⁰ which in time past were not a people, yet are now the people of God, which were not under mercy: but now have obtained mercy.

¹³ Nevertheless, we look for a new heaven, and a new earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

²⁰ But ye have an ointment of the holy ghost, and ye know all things.

²⁷ And the anointing which ye have received of him dwelleth in you. And ye need not that any man teach you: but as the anointing teacheth you all things, and is true, and is no lie: and as it taught you, even so bide therein.

¹⁵ therefore are they in the presence of the seat of God and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that sitteth in the seat will dwell among them. ¹⁶ They shall hunger no more neither thirst, neither shall the sun light on them, neither any heat. ¹⁷ For the lamb which is in the midst of the seat, shall feed them, and shall lead them unto fountains of living water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

²⁷ And there shall enter into it none unclean thing; neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh lies, but they only which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

¹³ And thou carriedest with thy mercy this people which thou deliveredest, and broughtest them with thy strength unto thy holy habitation!

⁶ And I will send peace in your land, that ye shall sleep, and no man shall make you afraid. And I will rid evil beasts out of your land, and there shall no sword go throughout your land.

² Let them give thanks whom the LORD hath redeemed, and delivered from the hand of the enemy,

⁶ Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb, and the Leopard shall lie down by the goat. Bullocks, Lions and cattle shall keep company together, so that a little child shall rule them. ⁷ The cow and the Bear shall feed together, and their young ones shall lie together. The Lion shall eat straw like the ox, or the cow. ⁸ The child while he sucketh, shall have a desire to the serpents nest, and when he is weaned, he shall put his hand in to the Cockatrice den. ⁹ No man shall do evil to another, no man shall destroy another, in all the hill of my Sanctuary. For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, even as though the water of the sea flowed over the earth.

⁶ Your beasts have born burdens upon their backs toward the South, through the way that is full of peril and trouble, because of the lion and lioness; of the Cockatrice and shooting dragon. Yea the Mules bare your substance, and the Camels brought your treasure, upon their crooked backs, unto a people that cannot help you.

¹² And they shall be called a people of holiness, redeemed of the LORD. And thou shalt be called a haunted city and not forsaken.

⁴ For that day of vengeance that I have taken in hand, and the year of my deliverance, is come.

²⁵ The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat hay like the bullock. But earth shall be the serpent's meat. There shall no man hurt nor slay another, in all my holy hill, sayeth the LORD.

²⁵ Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them, and drive all evil beasts out of the land: so that they may dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

¹⁸ Then will I make a covenant with them, with the wild beasts, with the fowls of the air, and with everything that creepeth upon the earth. As for bow, sword and battle, I will destroy such out of the land, and will make them to sleep safely.

¹³ But Christ hath delivered us from the curse of the law, and was made accursed for us — for it is written, "Cursed is everyone that hangeth on tree" —

¹⁴ which gave himself for us, to redeem us from all unrighteousness, and to purge us a peculiar people unto himself, fervently given unto good works.

¹⁸ Forasmuch as ye know how that ye were not redeemed with corruptible gold and silver from your vain conversation, which ye received by the traditions of the fathers,

⁹ and they sung a new song saying, "Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast killed, and hast redeemed us by thy blood, out of all kindreds, and tongues, and people, and nations,

¹ And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand.

⁷ They will go from strength to strength, and unto the God of Gods appeareth every one of them in Zion.

⁸ As for death, he shall utterly consume it. The LORD God shall wipe away the tears from all faces, and take away the rebuke of his people through the whole world. For the LORD himself hath said it.

¹⁹ For thus, O thou people of Zion and ye citizens of Jerusalem, shall ye never be in heaviness; for doubtless he will have mercy upon thee. As soon as he heareth the voice of thy cry, he will help thee.

¹⁰ Art not thou he, that hast wounded that proud Egypt, and hewn the dragon in pieces? Art not thou even he, which hast dried up the deep of the sea, which hast made plain the sea ground, that the delivered might go through? ¹¹ That the redeemed of the LORD, which turned again, might come with joy unto Zion, there to endure forever? That mirth and gladness might be with them? That sorrow and woe might flee from them?

²⁰ Thy Sun shall never go down, and thy Moon shall not be taken away, for the LORD himself shall be thine everlasting light, and thy sorrowful days shall be rewarded thee.

¹⁹ yea, I myself will rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with my people. And the voice of weeping and wailing shall not be heard in her from thence forth.

¹¹ For the LORD shall redeem Jacob, and rid him from the hand of the violent. ¹² And they shall come, and rejoice upon the hill of Zion, and shall have plenteousness of goods, which the LORD shall give them: Namely, wheat, wine, oil, young sheep and calves. And their conscience shall be as a well-watered garden, for they shall no more be hungry. ¹³ Then shall the maid rejoice in the dance, yea both young and old folks. For I will turn their sorrow into gladness, and will comfort them and make them joyful, even from their hearts. ¹⁴ I will pour plenteousness upon the hearts of the priests, and my people shall be satisfied with good things, sayeth the LORD."

¹¹ Shall the voice of gladness be heard again; the voice of the Bridegroom and of the bride; the voice of them that shall sing, 'Praise the LORD of Hosts, for he is loving and his mercy endureth forever,' and the voice of them that shall offer up gifts in the house of the LORD. For I will restore the captivity of this land, as it was afore, sayeth the LORD.

²⁸ Even as the son of man came, not to be ministered unto, but to minister: and to give his life for the redemption of many."

²² And ye now are in sorrow: but I will see you again, and your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy shall no man take from you.

⁶ which gave himself a ransom for all men, that it should be testified at his time;

²¹ and keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life.

⁹ After this I beheld, and lo a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and people, and tongues, stood before the seat, and before the lamb, clothed with long white garments, and palms in their hands, ¹⁰ and cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be ascribed to him that sitteth upon the seat of our God, and unto the lamb." ¹¹ And all the angels stood in the compass of the seat, and of the elders and of the four beasts, and fell before the seat on their faces, and worshipped God, ¹² saying, amen, "Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanks, and honour, and power and might, be unto our God, for evermore, amen." ¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, "What are these which are arrayed in long white garments, and whence came they?" ¹⁴ And I said unto him, "Lord, thou knowest." And he said unto me, "These are they which came out of great tribulation and made their garments large, and made them white in the blood of the lamb:

¹ And I looked, and, lo, a lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty four thousand having his father's name written in their foreheads. ² And I heard a voice from heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder. And I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps. ³ And they sang as it were a new song, before the seat, and before the four beasts, and the elders and no man could learn that song, but the hundred and forty four thousand which were redeemed from the earth. ⁴ These are they, which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from men being the first fruits unto God and to the lamb,

² And I saw as it were a glassy sea, mingled with fire, and them that had gotten victory of the beast, and of his image, and of his mark, and of the number of his name, stand on the glassy sea, having the harps of God ³ and they sang the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the lamb, saying, ⁴ Who shall not fear, o Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy, and all gentiles shall come and worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest."

²⁰ Rejoice over her thou heaven, and ye holy apostles, and prophets: for God hath given your judgment on her."

⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, neither crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the old things are gone.
