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. ¹⁰ Then shall the Gentiles enquire after the root of Jesse, which shall be set up for a token unto the Gentiles; for his dwelling shall be glorious. ¹¹ At the same time shall the LORD take in hand again, to conquer the remnant of his people which are left alive: From the Assyrians, Egyptians, Arabians, Ethiopians, Elamites, Chaldeans, Antiochians and Islands of the sea. ¹² And he shall set up a token among the Gentiles, and gather together the dispersed of Israel; yea, and the outcasts of Judah from the four corners of the world.

⁵ And now saith the LORD that formed me in the womb, to be his servant and to turn Jacob unto him, ⁶ "Behold, I have made thee a light, that thou shouldest be salvation, even unto the end of the world. Kings shall see, and rulers shall stand up and shall worship, because of the LORD, which is faithful; and the holy of Israel hath chosen thee. ⁷ Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD the avenger and holy one of Israel, because of the abhorring and despising among the Gentiles, concerning the servant of all them that bear rule: Kings and Princes shall see, and arise and worship, because of the LORD that he is faithful: and because of the holy one of Israel, which hath chosen thee. ⁸ And thus sayeth the LORD: In the time appointed will I be present with thee. And in the hour of health will I help thee, and deliver thee. I will make thee a pledge for the people, so that thou shalt help up the earth again, and challenge again the scattered heritages: ⁹ That thou mayest say to the prisoners, "Go forth," and to them that are in darkness, "Come into the light." That they may feed in the high ways, and get their living in all places. 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.

¹³ Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, therefore shall he be magnified, exalted and greatly honored. ¹⁴ Like as the multitude shall wonder upon him, because his face shall be so deformed and not as a man's face, and his beauty like no man: ¹⁵ Even so shall the multitude of the Gentiles look unto him, and the kings shall shut their mouths before him. For they that have not been told of him, shall see him, and they that heard nothing of him, shall behold him.

² He came up as a spray before him, and as a root out of a dry land. There was neither fashion or beauty on him. And when we looked on him, there was no godliness that we should lust after him. ³ He was despised and cast out of men's company; and one that had suffered sorrow, and had experience of infirmity. And we were as one that had hid his face from him. ⁴ He was so despisable, that we esteemed him not. Truly, he took upon him our diseases, and bare our sorrows. And yet we counted him plagued, and beaten, and humbled of God. ⁵ He was wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities. The correction that brought us peace was on him, and with his stripes we were healed. ⁶ And we went astray as sheep, and turned every man his way: and the LORD put on him the wickedness of us all. ⁷ He suffered wrong and was evil entreated, and yet opened not his mouth: he was as a sheep led to be slain: and as a lamb before his shearer, he was dumb and opened not his mouth. ⁸ By the reason of the affliction, he was not esteemed: and yet his generation who can number? When he is taken from the earth of living men: for my people's transgression he was plagued. ⁹ He put his sepulchre with the wicked, and with the rich in his death: because he did none iniquity, neither was guile found in his mouth. ¹⁰ And yet the LORD determined to bruise him with infirmities. His soul giving herself for trangression, he shall see seed of long continuance; and the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. ¹¹ Because of the labour of his soul, he shall see and be satisfied. With his knowledge, he, being just, shall justify my servants: and that a great number. And he shall bear their iniquities. ¹² Therefore I will give him his part in many, and the spoil of the rich he shall divide: because he gave his soul to death, and was numbered with the trespassers, and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for transgressors.

¹⁹ Unto them shall I give a token, and send certain of them that be delivered among the Gentiles: into Tarshish, Put and Lud, where men can handle bows; into Tubal also and Javan.

¹ But in the latter days it will come to pass, that the hill of the LORD's house shall be set up higher than any mountains or hills: Yea, the people shall flow unto it, ² and the multitude of the Gentiles shall haste them thither, saying, "Come, let us go up to the hill of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob: that he may teach us his way, and that we may walk in his paths." For the law shall come out of Zion, and the word of God from Jerusalem; ³ And shall give sentence among the multitude of the Heathen and reform the people of far countries: so that of their swords they shall make plowshares, and scythes of their spears. One people shall not lift up a sword against another, yea they shall no more learn to fight.

¹¹ And many nations shall cleave unto the LORD at that day and shall be my people. And I will dwell in the middle of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD Sabaoth hath sent me unto thee.

²⁶ but now is opened at this time and declared opened by the scriptures of prophecy, at the commandment of the everlasting God, to stir up obedience to the faith published among all nations:

²¹ To them that were without law, became I as though I had been without law — when I was not without law as pertaining to God, but under a law as concerning Christ — to win them that were without law.

² looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, which for the joy that was set before him, abode the cross, and despised the shame, and is set down on the righthand of the throne of God. ³ Consider therefore how that he endured such speaking against him of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your minds. ⁴ For ye have not yet resisted unto blood shedding, striving against sin.

²² which did no sin, neither was there guile found in his mouth: ²³ which when he was reviled, reviled not again: when he suffered, he threatened not: but committed the cause to him that judgeth righteously, ²⁴ which his own self bare our sins in his body on the tree, that we should be delivered from sin and should live in righteousness. By whose stripes ye were healed.

¹⁰ And God called the dry land "the earth" and the gathering together of waters called he "the sea." And God saw that it was good. ¹¹ And God said, "Let the earth bring forth herb and grass that sow seed, and fruitful trees that bear fruit, every one in his kind, having their seed in themselves, upon the earth." And it came so to pass. ¹² And the earth brought forth herb and grass sowing seed, every one in his kind, and trees bearing fruit and having their seed in themselves, every one in his kind. And God saw that it was good:

²⁴ And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures in their kinds: cattle and worms and beasts of the earth in their kinds." And so it came to pass. ²⁵ And God made the beasts of the earth in their kinds, and cattle in their kinds, and all manner worms of the earth in their kinds: and God saw that it was good.

⁷ Then the LORD God shope man, even of the mold of the earth, and breathed into his face the breath of life. So man was made a living soul.

¹⁰ In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all men.

³ My lips shall talk of no vanity, and my tongue shall speak no deceit,

⁴ The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the almighty hath given me my life.

¹⁴ To whom hath he given his heart, for to draw his spirit and breath unto him?

¹ {A Psalm of David} The earth is the LORD's, and all that therein is: the compass of the world, and all that dwell therein. ² For he hath founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the floods.

⁶ By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.

²⁵ Thou, LORD, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands. ²⁶ They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; they all shall wax old as doth a garment, and as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.

² Thou deckest thyself with light, as it were with a garment, and spreadest out the heaven like a curtain - ³ who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters, and maketh the clouds thy chariot, and walketh upon the wings of the wind. ⁴ Thou makest thine angels spirits, and thy ministers a flaming fire. ⁵ Thou hast laid the foundations of the earth, that it never should move at any time. ⁶ Thou coveredst it with the deep like as with a garment, so that the waters stand above the hills. ⁷ But at thy rebuke they flee, at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid. ⁸ Then are the hills seen aloft, and the valleys beneath — in their place which thou hast appointed for them. ⁹ Thou hast set them their bounds, which they may not pass, that they turn not again to cover the earth. ¹⁰ Thou causest the wells to spring up among the valleys, and the waters to run among the hills, ¹¹ that all the beasts of the field may have drink, and that the wild asses may quench their thirst. ¹² Beside them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation, and sing among the branches. ¹³ Thou waterest the hills from above; the earth is filled with the fruits of thy works. ¹⁴ Thou bringest forth grass for the cattle, and green herbs for the service of men. ¹⁵ Thou bringest food out of the earth: wine to make glad the heart of man, oil to make him a cheerful countenance and bread to strengthen man's heart. ¹⁶ The trees of the LORD also are full of sap, even the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted, ¹⁷ wherein the birds make their nests; and the fir trees are a dwelling for the stork. ¹⁸ The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats, and so are the stony rocks for the conies. ¹⁹ Thou hast appointed the moon for certain seasons, the sun knoweth his going down. ²⁰ Thou makest darkness, that it may be night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do move. ²¹ The lions, roaring after their prey, do seek their meat from God. ²² But when the sun ariseth, they get them away together, and lie them down in their dens. ²³ Then goeth forth man to his work, and to till his land until the evening. ²⁴ O LORD, how manifold are thy works! Right wisely hast thou made them all; yea, the earth is full of thy riches. ²⁵ So is this great and wide sea also, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. ²⁶ There go the ships over, and there is that Leviathan, whom thou hast made, to take his pastime therein. ²⁷ These wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them meat in due season. ²⁸ When thou givest it them, they gather it; when thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. ²⁹ But when thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; when thou takest away their breath, they die, and are turned again to their dust. ³⁰ When thou lettest thy breath go forth, they shall be made; and thou shalt renew the face of the earth. ³¹ The glorious majesty of the LORD shall endure forever, and the LORD rejoiceth in his works. ³² The earth trembleth at the look of him; he doth but touch the hills and they smoke. ³³ I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live; I will praise my God while I have my being. ³⁴ O that my words might please him, for my joy is in the LORD. ³⁵ As for the sinners, they shall be consumed out of the earth, and the ungodly shall come to an end. But praise thou the LORD, O my soul: Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

⁶ Which laid out the earth above the waters! For his mercy endureth forever.

¹² "Who hath holden the waters in his fist? Who hath measured heaven with his span, and hath comprehended all the earth of the world in three measures? Who hath weighed the mountains and hills in a balance?

²² That he sitteth upon the Circle of the world, and that all the inhabiters of the world are, in comparison of him, but as grasshoppers; That he spreadeth out the heavens as a covering, he stretcheth them out as a tent to dwell in;

²⁸ Knowest thou not, or hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD which made all the corners of the earth, is neither weary nor faint: and that his wisdom cannot be comprehended?

²⁴ For thus sayeth the LORD thy redeemer, even he that fashioned thee from thy mother's womb: I am the LORD, which do all things myself alone. I only have spread out the heavens, and I only have laid the foundation of the earth.

¹² I have made the earth, and created man upon it. With my hands have I spread forth heaven, and given a commandment for all the Host thereof.

¹⁸ For thus sayeth the LORD, even he that created heaven, the God that made the earth, that fashioned it, and set it forth: I have not made it for naught, but I made it to be inhabited. Even I the LORD, without whom there is none other.

¹³ My hand is the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spanneth over the heavens. As soon as I called them they were there.

¹² But as for our God, he made the earth with his power, and with his wisdom hath he finished the whole compass of the world; with his discretion hath he spread out the heavens.

¹⁷ 'O LORD God: It is thou that hast made heaven and earth with thy great power and high arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.

²³ but hast magnified thyself above the LORD of heaven, so that the vessels of his house were brought before thee: that thou, and thy lords, with thy queen and concubines, might drink wine thereout: and hast praised the Idols of silver and gold, copper and iron, of wood and stone. As for the God in whose hand consisteth thy breath and all thy ways: thou hast not loved him.

⁶ He that hath his dwelling in Heaven, and groundeth his tabernacle in the earth; He that calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the plain ground; his name is the LORD.

¹ The heavy burden which the LORD hath devised for Israel. Thus sayeth the LORD, which spread the heavens abroad, laid the foundation of the earth, and giveth man the breath of life,

²⁵ neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed of any thing. Seeing he himself giveth life and breath to all men everywhere,

² but in these last days he hath spoken unto us by his son, whom he hath made heir of all things: by whom also he made the world.

¹⁰ And, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth: And the heavens are the works of thy hands. ¹¹ They shall perish, but thou shalt endure. They all shall wax old as doth a garment: ¹² and as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art always, and thy years shall not fail."

⁶ Thy seat, O God, endureth forever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter. ⁷ Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; wherefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

³ And thou, which art the doer and hast the matter in hand: shall provide for peace, even the peace that men hope for in thee.

¹ Behold, a king shall govern after the rule of righteousness, and the princes shall rule according to the balance of equity.

¹³ For I, thy LORD and God, will strengthen thy righthand. Even I that say unto thee, 'Fear not,' I will help thee.

¹ Behold now therefore, this is my servant whom I will keep to myself: mine elect; In whom my soul shall be pacified. I will give him my spirit, that he may show forth judgment and equity among the Gentiles.

¹ But now, the LORD that made thee O Jacob, and he that fashioned thee O Israel, sayeth thus, "Fear not, for I will defend thee. I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine own.

¹³ I shall wake him up with righteousness, and order all his ways. He shall build my city, and let out my prisoners: and that neither for gifts or rewards, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.

¹ Hearken ye isles unto me, and give heed ye people that are afar. The LORD called me out of the womb and made mention of my name, when I was in my mother's bowels. ² And he made my mouth like a sharp sword. In the shadow he led me with his hand. And he made me as an excellent arrow, and hid in his quiver. ³ And he said to me, "Thou art my servant O Israel, in whom I will be glorified."

⁶ "Behold, I have made thee a light, that thou shouldest be salvation, even unto the end of the world. Kings shall see, and rulers shall stand up and shall worship, because of the LORD, which is faithful; and the holy of Israel hath chosen thee.

⁸ And thus sayeth the LORD: In the time appointed will I be present with thee. And in the hour of health will I help thee, and deliver thee. I will make thee a pledge for the people, so that thou shalt help up the earth again, and challenge again the scattered heritages:

⁴ Hearken unto me, my people; and turn your ears to me, my folk. There shall a law go out from me, and my judgment will I establish to be a light unto nations. ⁵ My righteousness is nigh, and my salvation shall go out, and mine arms shall judge nations, and islands shall look for me and shall tarry after mine arm.

¹ Up and receive light, Jerusalem: for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is up over thee. ² For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and a thick mist the nations. But the LORD shall rise as the sun over thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. ³ And the heathen shall walk in thy light, and the kings in the brightness that is risen over thee.

⁵ "Behold, the time cometh, sayeth the LORD, that I will raise up the righteous Branch of David, which shall bear rule, and discuss matters with wisdom, and shall set up equity and righteousness again in the earth. ⁶ In his time shall Judah be saved and Israel shall dwell without fear. And this is the name that they shall call him: even, 'The LORD our righteous maker.'

¹⁵ Behold, the days will come saith the LORD, that I will stir up unto David a righteous branch, and he shall reign a king, and shall be wise, and shall do equity and justice in the earth. ¹⁶ And in his days Judah shall be safe, and Israel shall dwell without fear. And this is the name that they shall call him: 'The LORD our righteousness.'

²⁸ This is my blood of the new testament, that shall be shed for many, for the forgiveness of sins.

⁶⁹ And hath raised up a horn of salvation unto us, in the house of his servant David. ⁷⁰ Even as he promised by the mouth of his holy prophets which were since the world began. ⁷¹ That we should be saved from our enemies: And from the hands of all that hate us: ⁷² To fulfill the mercy promised to our fathers; And to remember his holy covenant;

³² A light to lighten the gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel."

¹² Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness: but shall have the light of life."

⁴⁷ For so hath the Lord commanded us, 'I have made thee a light to the gentiles, that thou be salvation unto the end of the world.'"

²³ That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from death, and should show light unto the people, and to the gentiles."

²⁵ — whom God hath set forth for a mercy seat through faith in his blood, to show the righteousness which before him is of valour, in that he forgiveth the sins that are passed, ²⁶ which God did suffer to show at this time: the righteousness that is allowed of him, that he might be counted just, and a justifier of him which believeth on Jesus.

⁸ And I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. ⁹ And let the gentiles praise God for his mercy. As it is written, "For this cause I will praise thee among the gentiles, and sing in thy name."

²⁰ For all the promises of God, in him are "Yea": and are in him "Amen," unto the laud of God through us.

¹⁵ Brethren, I will speak after the manner of men. Though it be but a man's testament, yet no man despiseth it, or addeth anything thereto when it is once allowed. ¹⁶ To Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, "in the seeds," as in many: But, "in thy seed," as in one, which is Christ. ¹⁷ This I say, that the law which began afterward, beyond four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul the testament, that was confirmed afore of God unto Christ ward, to make the promise of none effect.

⁸ But unto the son he saith, "God, thy seat shall be forever, and ever. The sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. ⁹ Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity: Wherefore God, which is thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."

² to whom also Abraham gave tithes of all things — first is, by interpretation, king of righteousness, after that he is king of Salem, that is to say king of peace,

²⁶ Such a high priest it becometh us to have, which is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than heaven.

⁶ Now hath he obtained a more excellent office, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better testament, which was made for better promises.

¹⁵ And for this cause is he the mediator of the new testament, that through death which chanced for the redemption of those transgressions that were in the first testament, they which were called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

²⁴ and to Jesus, the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood that speaketh better than the blood of Abel.

²⁰ The God of peace that brought again from death our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting testament,

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 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being fast bound in misery and iron, ¹¹ because they were not obedient to the commandments of God, but lightly regarded the counsel of the most highest — he also brought down their hearts through heaviness. ¹² They fell down, and there was none to help them. ¹³ So they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distress. ¹⁴ He brought them out of darkness, and out of the shadow of death, and broke their bonds in sunder. ¹⁵ O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness, and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men! ¹⁶ For he hath broken the gates of brass, and smitten the bars of iron in sunder.

⁷ who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong; who feedeth the hungry. The LORD looseth men out of prison; ⁸ the LORD giveth sight to the blind. The LORD helpeth them up that are fallen; the LORD loveth the righteous.

² The people that have dwelt in darkness, shall see a great light. As for them that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them shall the light shine.

¹⁸ And in that day, shall deaf men hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see, even out of the cloud and out of darkness.

⁵ Then shall the eyes of the blind be lightened, and the ears of the deaf opened.

¹⁶ I will bring the blind into the street, that they know not: and lead them in to a foot path, that they are ignorant in. I shall make darkness light before them, and the thing that is crooked to be straight. These things will I do, and not forget them.

²² But it is a mischevious and wicked people. Their young men belong all to the snare, and shall be shut into prison houses. They shall be carried away captive, and no man shall loose them. They shall be trodden under foot, and no man shall labour to bring them again.

⁹ That thou mayest say to the prisoners, "Go forth," and to them that are in darkness, "Come into the light." That they may feed in the high ways, and get their living in all places.

¹¹ Thou also, through the blood of thy covenant, shalt let thy prisoners out of the pit, wherein is no water. ¹² Turn you now to the stronghold, ye that be in prison, and long sore to be delivered: And this day I bring the word, that I will reward thee double again.

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.

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; ¹⁹ And to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." ²⁰ And he closed the book, and gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all that were in the synagogue, were fastened on him. ²¹ And he began to say unto them, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."

⁴⁵ Then opened he their wits, that they might understand the scriptures,

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."

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.'

⁶ For it is God that commanded the light to shine out of darkness, which hath shined in our hearts, for to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

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,

²⁶ that they may come to themselves again out of the snare of the devil, which are now taken of him at his will.

¹⁴ Forasmuch, then, as the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, for to put down through death him that had lordship over death: that is to say, the devil. ¹⁵ And that he might deliver them which, through fear of death, all their life time were in danger of bondage.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich: and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, that thy filthy nakedness do not appear: and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

¹³ Then said Moses unto God, "When I come unto the children of Israel and say unto them, 'The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you,' and they say unto me, 'What is his name?' — What answer shall I give them?" ¹⁴ Then said God unto Moses, "I Will Be What I Will Be." And he said, "This shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'I Will Be did send me to you.'" ¹⁵ And God spake further unto Moses, "Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you': this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial throughout all generations.

⁵ "That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob hath appeared unto thee."

³ Thou shalt have none other gods in my sight. ⁴ "Thou shalt make thee no graven image, neither any similitude that is in heaven above, either in the earth beneath, or in the water that is beneath the earth. ⁵ See that thou neither bow thyself unto them neither serve them: for I, the LORD thy God, am a jealous God, and visit the sin of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:

¹⁴ for thou shalt worship no strange god. For the LORD is called jealous, because he is a jealous God:

¹⁸ And they shall know that thou, whose name is Jehovah, art only the most highest over all the earth.

¹¹ I, even I, am the only LORD, and without me there is no Saviour.

¹¹ And that only for mine own sake, for I give mine honour to none other, that thou shouldest not despise me.

²³ because that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the son, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent him.

⁵⁸ Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you: Yer Abraham was, I am."

¹² And when the sun was down, there fell a slumber upon Abram. And lo, fear and great darkness came upon him. ¹³ And he said unto Abram, "Know this of a surety, that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that pertaineth not unto them. And they shall make bondmen of them and entreat them evil, four hundred years. ¹⁴ But the nation whom they shall serve, will I judge. And afterward shall they come out with great substance. ¹⁵ Nevertheless, thou shalt go unto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried when thou art of a good age: ¹⁶ and in the fourth generation they shall come hither again, for the wickedness of the Amorites is not yet full."

⁴⁵ There escaped nothing of all the good things which the LORD had said unto the house of Israel. But all came to pass.

¹⁴ Behold, I walk this day, by the way of all the world: call ye to mind in all your hearts and in all your souls, that nothing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God promised you. All are come to pass, and nothing hath failed thereof. ¹⁵ And as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you: so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil until he have destroyed you from off this good land, which the LORD your God hath given you

¹⁵ And he said, "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which hath fulfilled with his hand, that he spake with his mouth unto David my father, saying, ¹⁶ 'From the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city among any of the tribes of Israel, to build a house, that my name might be there: But I have chosen David to be ruler over my people Israel.' ¹⁷ And it was in the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. ¹⁸ But the LORD God said unto David my father, 'In that it was in thine heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well, that thou wast so minded. ¹⁹ Nevertheless, thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come out of thy loins, he shall build a house for my name.' ²⁰ And the LORD hath made good his word that he spake. For I stood up in the room of David my father, and sat on the seat of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

³⁶ and will give his son one, that David my servant may have a light always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me, to put my name there.

²² Let the gods come forth themselves, and show us the things that are past, what they be: let them declare them unto us, that we may take them to heart, and know them hereafter. ²³ Either, let them show us things for to come, and tell us what shall be done hereafter: so shall we know, that they be gods. Show something, either good or bad: so will we both knowledge the same, and tell it out.

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.

⁷ For what is he that ever was like me, which am from everlasting? Let him show his name, and do wherethrough he may be likened unto me. Let him tell you forth, plainly, things that are past, and for to come: ⁸ yea, and that without any fear or stop. For have not I ever told you hitherto, and warned you? Ye can bear me record yourselves. Is there any God except me? Or any maker, that I should not know him?

⁹ Remember the things which are past, since the beginning of the world: that I am God, and that there is else no God, yea, and that there is nothing like unto me. ¹⁰ In the beginning of a thing, I show the end thereof: and I tell before, things that are not yet come to pass. With one word is my device accomplished, and fulfilleth all my pleasure.

¹⁹ Now tell I you, before it come: that when it is come to pass ye might believe that I am he.

¹⁸ Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

¹⁰ Of which salvation have the prophets enquired, and searched, which prophesied of the grace that should come unto you; ¹¹ searching when, or at what time, the spirit of Christ which was in them should signify — which spirit testified before — the passions that should come unto Christ, and the glory that should follow after. ¹² Unto which prophets it was declared, that not unto themselves, but unto us, they should minister the things which are now showed unto you, of them which, by the holy ghost sent down from heaven, have preached unto you the things which the angels desire to behold.

¹⁹ We have also a right sure word of prophecy, whereunto if ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, ye do well; until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts. ²⁰ So that ye first know this: That no prophecy in the scripture hath any private interpretation. ²¹ For the scripture came never by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy ghost.

³² Let the sea thunder and his fullness, and let the fields rejoice and all that is therein.

³ Sing unto the LORD a new song; sing praises lustily unto him, and with a good courage.

³ He hath put a new song in my mouth, even a thanksgiving unto our God. Many men seeing this, shall fear the LORD, and put their trust in him.

¹ O sing unto the LORD a new song. Sing unto the LORD all the whole earth. {TYNDALE: Sing unto the LORD a new song. Sing unto the LORD all the earth.} ² Sing unto the LORD, and praise his name, be telling of his salvation from day to day. {TYNDALE: Sing unto the LORD, and show from day to day his victories.} ³ Declare his honour among the Heathen, and his wonders among all people. {TYNDALE: Tell among the heathen of his glory, and among all nations of his wonderful deeds.}

¹¹ Let the sea make a noise, yea and all that therein is. {TYNDALE: Let the sea thunder, and his fullness;}

¹ The LORD is king. The earth may be glad thereof; yea, the multitude of the isles may be glad thereof.

¹ O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvelous things. With his own righthand and with his holy arm hath he gotten himself the victory. ² The LORD hath declared his salvation, and his righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the heathen. ³ He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel: so that all the ends of the world see the salvation of our God. ⁴ Show yourselves joyful unto the LORD, all ye lands: sing, rejoice, and give thanks.

²³ They that go down to the sea in ships, and occupy their business in great waters, ²⁴ these men see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. ²⁵ For at his word, the stormy wind ariseth, and lifteth up the waves thereof. ²⁶ They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep; their soul melteth away in the trouble. ²⁷ They reel to and fro, they stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. ²⁸ So when they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, he delivereth them out of their distress. ²⁹ He maketh the storm to cease, so that the waves are still. ³⁰ Then are they glad, because they are at rest; and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be. ³¹ O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness, and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men! ³² — That they would exalt him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders,

¹ O Praise the LORD all ye Gentiles; laud him all ye people. ² For his merciful kindness is ever more and more toward us, and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

¹ {Praise the Everlasting} O Praise the LORD of heaven; praise him in the heights. ² Praise him all ye angels of his; praise him, all his host. ³ Praise him sun and moon; praise him all ye stars and light. ⁴ Praise him, all ye heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens. ⁵ Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he spoke the word, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created. ⁶ He hath made them fast for ever and ever; he hath given them a law which shall not be broken. ⁷ Praise the LORD upon earth, ye dragons, and all deeps; ⁸ fire and hail, snow and vapors, wind and storm, fulfilling his word; ⁹ mountains and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars; ¹⁰ beasts and all cattle; worms and feathered fowls; ¹¹ kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the world; ¹² young men and maidens, old men and children, ¹³ praise the name of the LORD! For his name only is excellent, and his praise above heaven and earth. ¹⁴ He exalteth the horn of his people, all his saints shall praise him: the children of Israel, even the people that serveth him. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

⁶ Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD! Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

¹⁴ And those same that remain shall lift up their voice, and be glad, and shall magnify the glory of the LORD, even from the sea

⁴ He shall neither be overseen nor hasty, that he may restore righteousness unto the earth: and the Gentiles also shall keep his laws.

²³ Be glad ye heavens, whom the LORD hath made, let all that is here beneath upon the earth, be joyful. Rejoice ye mountains and woods, with all the trees that are in you: for the LORD shall redeem Jacob, and show his glory upon Israel.

¹³ Rejoice ye heavens, and sing praises thou earth: Talk of joy ye hills, for God will comfort his people, and have mercy upon his, that be in trouble.

⁵ My righteousness is nigh, and my salvation shall go out, and mine arms shall judge nations, and islands shall look for me and shall tarry after mine arm.

¹⁴ Behold, my servants shall rejoice for very quietness of heart: But ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and complain for vexation of mind.

¹¹ The LORD shall be grim upon them, and destroy all the goods in the land. And all the Isles of the Heathen shall worship him, every man in his place.

⁹ And let the gentiles praise God for his mercy. As it is written, "For this cause I will praise thee among the gentiles, and sing in thy name." ¹⁰ And again he saith, "Ye gentiles rejoice with his people." ¹¹ And again, "Praise the Lord all ye gentiles, and laud him all nations."

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,

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.

²³ And the LORD said unto her, "There are two manner of people in thy womb, and two nations shall spring out of thy bowels, and the one nation shall be mightier than the other and the eldest shall be servant unto the younger."

⁸ His dominion shall be from the one sea to the other, and from the flood unto the world's end. ⁹ They that dwell in the wilderness shall kneel before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust. ¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall give presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring gifts.

⁵ Woe is me, that I am constrained to dwell with Meshech, and to have my habitation among the tents of Kedar!

¹ Send the Lord of the world a lamb, from the rock that lieth toward the desert, unto the hill of the daughter Zion.

¹⁶ For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, "There is yet a year according to the years of a hired servant, and all the glory of the Cedar shall fail.

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

⁶ Then shall the lame man leap as a hart and the dumb man's tongue shall give thanks. In the wilderness also, there shall wells spring, and floods of water in the desert.

³ A voice crieth in the wilderness, "Prepare the way for the LORD, make straight the path for our God in the desert.

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 I plant in the waste ground trees of Cedar, Box, Mire and Olives. And in the dry I set Fir trees, Elms, and Hawthorns together.

⁷ O how beautiful are the feet of the Ambassador, that bringeth the message from the mountain, and proclaimeth peace: That bringeth the good tidings, and preacheth health, and sayeth unto Zion, "Thy God is the king."

⁷ All the cattle of Cedar shall be gathered unto thee, the rams Nebaioth shall serve thee, to be offered upon mine altar, which I have chosen, and in the house of my glory which I have garnished.

¹³ Behold, sayeth the LORD, I will come upon you that dwell in the valleys, rocks and fields, and say: Tush, who will make us afraid? Or, who will come into our houses?

²⁸ Ye Moabites shall leave the cities, and dwell in rocks of stone, and become like doves that make their nests in holes.

¹⁶ Thy high stomach and the pride of thy heart have deceived thee; Because thou wilt dwell in the holes of stony rocks, and have the high mountains in possession. Nevertheless, though thy nest were as high as the Eagles, yet will I cast thee down, sayeth the LORD.

³ The pride of thine heart hath lift thee up, thou that dwellest in the strongholds of stone, and hast made thee a high seat. Thou sayest in thine heart, "Who shall cast me down to the ground?"

¹⁵ Behold, upon the mountains come the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and preacheth peace. O Judah, keep thy holidays, perform thy promises: for Belial shall come no more in thee, he is utterly rooted out.

³ Declare his honour among the Heathen, and his wonders among all people. {TYNDALE: Tell among the heathen of his glory, and among all nations of his wonderful deeds.} ⁴ For the LORD is great, and can not worthily be praised: he is more to be feared than all gods. {TYNDALE: For great is the LORD, and to be praised exceedingly: and terrible is he above all gods.} ⁵ As for all the gods of the Heathen, they are but Idols, but it is the LORD that made the heavens. {TYNDALE: For all the gods of the heathen are Idols; But the LORD made the heavens.} ⁶ Glory and worship are before him; power and honour are in his Sanctuary. {TYNDALE: Praise and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.} ⁷ Ascribe unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the Heathen; ascribe unto the LORD worship and strength. {TYNDALE: Ascribe to the LORD ye kindreds of people; Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.} ⁸ Ascribe unto the LORD the honour due unto his name; bring presents, and come into his court. {TYNDALE: Give honour unto the LORD's name; bring presents and come before him.} ⁹ O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; let the whole earth stand in awe of him. {TYNDALE: And bow to the LORD in holy apparel; all the earth fear him.} ¹⁰ Tell it out among the Heathen, that the LORD is king: and that it is he who hath made the round world so fast, that it can not be moved, and how that he shall judge the people righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad. {TYNDALE: He established the earth that it cannot move. The heaven rejoice and the earth be glad. And let men tell among the nations that the LORD is a king.}

¹⁸ For I will come to gather all people and tongues with their works and imaginations: these shall come, and see my glory. ¹⁹ Unto them shall I give a token, and send certain of them that be delivered among the Gentiles: into Tarshish, Put and Lud, where men can handle bows; into Tubal also and Javan. The isles far off, that have not heard speak of me, and have not seen my glory, shall preach my praise among the Gentiles

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, ¹⁰ and hast made us unto our God, kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth."

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."

¹ Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song unto the LORD, and said, "Let us sing unto the LORD, for he is become glorious, the horse and him that rode upon him hath he overthrown in the sea! ² The LORD is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation. He is my God, and I will glorify him! He is my father's God, and I will lift him up on high! ³ The LORD is a man of war, Jehovah is his name:

⁶⁵ So the LORD awakened as one out of sleep, and like a giant refreshed with wine.

⁵ The LORD upon thy righthand shall smite even kings in the day of his wrath. ⁶ He shall be judge among the heathen; he shall fill them with dead bodies, and smite in sunder the heads over divers countries.

¹⁶ The righthand of the LORD hath the preeminence; the righthand of the LORD hath gotten the victory.

¹¹ LORD, when thine hand is lift up to strike, they see it not: but they shall see it, and be confounded, when thou shalt devour them with the wrath of the people, and with the fire of thine enemies.

⁴ For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, "Like as the lion or lion's whelps roareth upon the prey that he hath gotten, and is not afraid though the multitude of shepherds cry out upon him, neither abashed for all the heap of them: So shall the LORD of Hosts come down from the mount Zion, and defend his hill.

¹⁶ He saw also, that there was no man which had pity thereof, or was grieved at it. And he held him by his own power, and cleaved to his own righteousness. ¹⁷ He put righteousness upon him for a breastplate, and set the helmet of health upon his head. He put on wrath instead of clothing, and took jealousy about him for a cloak: ¹⁸ like as when a man goeth forth wrothfully to recompense his enemies, and to be avenged of his adversaries. Namely, that he might recompense and reward the Islands, ¹⁹ wherethrough the name of the LORD might be feared, from the rising of the Sun: and his majesty, unto the going down of the same. For he shall come as a violent water stream, which the wind of the LORD hath moved.

¹ What is he, this that cometh from Edom, with stained red clothes of Bozrah, which is so costly cloth, and cometh in so nimbly with all his strength? "I am he that teacheth righteousness, and am of power to help." ² Wherefore then is thy clothing red, and thy raiment like his that treadeth in the winepress? ³ "I have trodden the press myself alone, and of all people, there was not one with me. Thus have I trodden down mine enemies in my wrath, and set my feet upon them in my indignation: And their blood sprang upon my clothes, and so have I stained all my raiment. ⁴ For that day of vengeance that I have taken in hand, and the year of my deliverance, is come.

¹⁴ And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like a herb. Thus shall the hand of the LORD be known among his servants, and his indignation among his enemies.

³⁰ "'Therefore tell them all these words, and say unto them: The LORD shall cry from above, and let his voice be heard from his holy habitation. With a great noise shall he cry from his regal court. He shall give a great voice, like the grape gatherers, and the sound thereof shall be heard unto the ends of the world.

¹⁰ The LORD roareth like a lion, that they may follow him. Yea, as a lion roareth he, that they may be afraid like the children of the sea:

¹⁶ The LORD shall roar out of Zion, a cry out of Jerusalem; that the heavens and the earth shall quake withal. But the LORD shall be a defense to his own people, and a refuge for the children of Israel.

² And he said, "The LORD shall roar out of Zion, and show his voice from Jerusalem: so that the pastures of the shepherds shall be in a miserable case, and the top of Carmel dried up.

² The LORD is a jealous God, and a taker of vengeance: yea, a taker of vengeance is the LORD, and wrathful. The LORD taketh vengeance of his enemies, and reserveth displeasure for his adversaries.

¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in that wrathful day of the LORD, but the whole land shall be consumed through the fire of his jealousy: for he shall soon make clean riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

⁸ Therefore ye shall wait upon me, sayeth the LORD, until the time that I stand up: for I am determined, to gather the people and to bring the kingdoms together, that I may pour out mine anger, yea all my wrathful displeasure upon them. For all the world shall be consumed with the fire of my jealousy.

¹⁸ For I am full of words, and the spirit that is within me, compelleth me.

²⁰ Therefore will I speak, that I may have vent: I will open my lips, and make answer.

² Out of Zion hath God appeared in perfect beauty.

¹ {A song and Psalm of Asaph} Hold not thy tongue, O God, keep not still silence; refrain not thyself, O God. ² For lo, thine enemies make a murmuring; and they that hate thee, lift up their head.

¹¹ Because now that evil works are not hastily punished, the heart of man giveth himself over unto wickedness. 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.

⁶ seeing thou goest from me and turnest backward? Sayeth the LORD: Therefore I will stretch out mine hand against thee, to destroy thee, and I will not be entreated.

²² Insomuch that the LORD might no longer suffer the wickedness of your inventions, and the abominable things which ye did? Is not your land desolate and void; yea, and abhorred, so that no man dwelleth therein any more, as it is come to pass this day?

⁷ And shall not God avenge his elect, which cry night and day unto him? Yea though he defer them:

⁹ The Lord is not slack to fulfill his promise as some men count slackness: but is patient to us ward and would have no man lost, but would receive all men to repentance. ¹⁰ Nevertheless, the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which day, the heavens shall perish with terrible noise, and the elements shall melt with heat, and the earth, with the works that are therein, shall burn.

¹⁵ And suppose that the long suffering of the Lord is salvation, even as our dearly beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given unto him, wrote to you,

⁷ The earth trembled and quaked; the very foundations also of the hills shook and were removed, because he was wroth. {TYNDALE: And the earth trembled and quoke, and the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was angry.}

³³ which turneth floods into dry land, and drieth up the watersprings! ³⁴ A fruitful land maketh he barren, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

³ The sea saw that, and fled, Jordan turned back. ⁴ The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like young sheep. ⁵ What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? And thou Jordan, that thou turnest back? ⁶ Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? And ye little hills, like young sheep? ⁷ Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

¹² For the day of the LORD of Hosts shall go over all pride and presumption, upon all them that exalt themselves, and shall bring them all down: ¹³ upon all high and stout Cedar trees of Lebanon, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, ¹⁴ upon all high hills, and upon all stout mountains, ¹⁵ upon all costly towers, and upon all strong walls, ¹⁶ upon all ships of Tarshish, and upon everything that is glorious and pleasant to look upon.

¹⁵ The LORD also shall cleave the tongues of the Egyptian's sea, and with a mighty wind shall he lift up his hand over the Nile, and shall smite his seven streams and make men go over dry shod. 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.

²⁷ I say to the ground, "Be dry," and I dry up thy water floods.

¹¹ I will make ways upon all my mountains, and my foot paths shall be exalted.

² For why would no man receive me, when I came? And when I called, no man gave me answer. Was my hand clean smitten off, that it might not help? Or had I not power to deliver? Lo, at a word I drink up the sea, and of water floods I make dry land: so that for want of water, the fish corrupt and die of thirst.

²⁴ I beheld the mountains, and they tremble, and all the hills were in a fear.

²⁰ The very fishes in the sea, the fowls of the air, the beasts of the field, and all the men that are upon the earth shall tremble for fear of me. The hills also shall be turned upside down, the stairs of stone shall fall, and all walls shall sink to the ground:

⁴ When he reproveth the sea, he drieth it up, and turneth all the floods to dry land. Bashan is desolate, Carmel and the pleasure of Lebanon wasteth away. ⁵ The mountains tremble for him, the hills consume. At the sight of him the earth quaketh: yea, the whole world, and all that dwell therein. ⁶ Who may endure before his wrath? Or who is able to abide his grim displeasure? His anger taketh on like fire, and the hard rocks burst in sunder before him.

⁶ He standeth, and measureth the earth. He looketh, and the people consume away, the mountains of the world fall down to powder, and the hills are fain to bow themselves, for his goings are everlasting and sure. ⁷ I saw, that the pavilions of the Ethiopians and the tents of the land of Midian were vexed for weariness. ⁸ Wast thou not angry, O LORD, in the waters? Was not thy wrath in the floods, and thy displeasure in the sea? Yes, when thou sattest upon thine horse, and when thy chariots had the victory. ⁹ Thou showedest thy bow openly, like as thou hadst promised with an oath unto the tribes. Selah. Thou didst divide the waters of the earth. ¹⁰ The mountains saw thee, and they tembled, the water stream went away: the deep made a noise at the lifting up of thine hand.

⁶ For thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: yet once more will I shake heaven and earth, the sea, and the dry land:

¹¹ He shall go upon the sea of trouble, and smite the sea waves: so that all the deep floods shall be dried up. The proud boasting of Assyria shall be cast down, and the scepter of Egypt shall be taken away.

¹² And I beheld when he opened the sixth seal, and lo there was a great earthquake, and the sun was as black as sackcloth made of hair. And the moon waxed even as blood: ¹³ and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth from her her figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. ¹⁴ And heaven vanished away, as a scroll when it is rolled together. And all mountains and isles were moved out of their places. ¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in dens, and in rocks of the hills, ¹⁶ and said to the hills, and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the presence of him that sitteth on the seat, and from the wrath of the lamb, ¹⁷ for the great day of his wrath is come; And who can endure it?"

⁷ The first angel blew, and there was made hail and fire, which were mingled with blood, and they were cast into the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt, and all green grass was burnt. ⁸ And the second angel blew: and as it were a great mountain: burning with fire was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea turned to blood, ⁹ and the third part of the creatures which had life died, and the third part of ships were destroyed. ¹⁰ And the third angel blew, and there fell a great star from heaven burning as it were a lamp, and it fell into the third part of the rivers, and into fountains of waters, ¹¹ and the name of the star is called wormwood. And the third part was turned to wormwood. And many men died of the waters because they were made bitter. ¹² And the fourth angel blew, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of stars: so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day was smitten that the third part of it should not shine, and likewise the night.

¹³ And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain names of men seven thousand. And the remnant were afeared, and gave glory to God of heaven.

¹² And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water dried up, that the ways of the kings of the east should be prepared.

¹⁸ And there followed voices, thunderings, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great.

¹¹ And I saw a great white seat and him that sat on it, from whose face fled away both the earth and heaven, and their place was no more found.

⁴ So yet that there be a space between you and it, about a two thousand cubits by measure. And come not nigh unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not gone by it in times past."

¹⁴ For the LORD will not fail his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

¹⁵ The crooked cannot be made straight, and the faults cannot be numbered.

¹³ Consider the work of God, how that no man can make the thing straight, which he maketh crooked.

²⁴ They also which have been of an erroneous spirit shall come to understanding, and they that have been scornful shall learn doctrine."

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."

³ The eyes of the seeing shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear, shall take diligent heed.

⁸ There shall be foot paths and common streets: this shall be called the holy way. No unclean person shall go through it, for the LORD himself shall go with them that way, and the ignorant shall not err.

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.

³ He followeth upon them, and goeth safely himself, and cometh in no foot path with his feet.

² I will go before thee, and make the crooked straight. I shall break the brazen doors, and burst the iron bars.

¹⁷ And thus sayeth the LORD God thine avenger, the holy one of Israel: I am the LORD thy God, which teach thee profitable things, and lead thee the way, that thou shouldest go.

¹³ Thy children shall all be taught of God, and I will give them plenteousness of peace.

¹ Up and receive light, Jerusalem: for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is up over thee. ² For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and a thick mist the nations. But the LORD shall rise as the sun over thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

¹⁹ The Sun shall never be thy day light, and the light of the Moon shall never shine unto thee: but the LORD himself shall be thine everlasting light, and thy God shall be thy glory. 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.

⁸ Behold, I will bring them again from out of the north land, and gather them from the ends of the world, with the blind and lame that are among them, with the women that be great with child, and such as be also delivered: and the company of them that come again, shall be great. ⁹ They departed from hence in heaviness, but with joy will I bring them hither again. I will lead them by the rivers of water in a straight way, where they shall not stumble: For I will be Israel's father, and Ephraim shall be my firstborn.

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. ⁴¹ Yea I will have a lust and pleasure to do them good, and faithfully to plant them in this land, with my whole heart, and with all my soul.

²³ They shall comfort you, when ye see their way and works: and ye shall know how that it is not without a cause, that I have done so against Jerusalem, as I did, sayeth the LORD God.

⁶ "But I will hedge her way with thorns, and stop it, that she shall not find her footsteps:

¹⁴ "Wherefore behold: I will call her again, bring her into a wilderness, and speak friendly unto her.

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day spring from on high hath visited us: ⁷⁹ To give light to them that sat in darkness, and in shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace."

⁵ Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low: And crooked things shall be made straight: and the rough ways shall be made smooth.

⁸ But God setteth out his love that he hath to us; Seeing that while we were yet sinners; Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more then, now seeing we are justified in his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him. ¹⁰ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his son: much more, seeing we are reconciled, we shall be preserved by his life.

²⁹ For those which he knew before, he also ordained before, that they should be like fashioned unto the shape of his son, that he might be the first begotten son among many brethren. ³⁰ Moreover, which he appointed before, them he also called; and which he called, them also he justified; which he justified, them he also glorified. ³¹ What shall we then say unto these things? if God be on our side: who can be against us?

⁸ Ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, for because that God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctifying of the spirit; And through believing the truth: ¹⁴ whereunto he called you by our gospel, to obtain the glory that cometh of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵ Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be content with that ye have already. For he verily said, "I will not fail thee, neither forsake thee."

³ Blessed be God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which through his abundant mercy begat us again unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from death, ⁴ to enjoy an inheritance immortal, and undefiled, and that perisheth not; reserved in heaven for you ⁵ which are kept by the power of God through salvation, which salvation is prepared already to be showed in the last time,

⁴ And he received them of their hands and fashioned it with a graver and made it a calf of molten metal. And they said, "This is thy God, O Israel, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt."

⁸ have marred all: they are turned at once out of the way which I commanded them, and have made them a calf of molten metal, and have worshipped it and have offered thereto and have said, 'This is thy God thou Israel, which hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt.'"

⁷ Confounded be all they that worship images, and delight in their idols; worship him all ye gods.

²⁹ For they shall be ashamed of the gods that you longed for. And you shall be put to shame for the idols and grove gardens that ye have chosen.

¹¹ Behold, all the fellowship of them must be brought to confusion. Let all the workmasters of them come and stand together from among men: they must be abashed and confounded one with another.

¹⁷ And of the residue he maketh him a god, and an Idol for himself. He kneeleth before it, he worshippeth it, he prayeth unto it, and sayeth, "Deliver me, for thou art my god!"

¹⁶ Confounded be ye, and put to dishonour: go hence together with shame, all ye that be workmasters of error: that is, worshipers of Idols. ¹⁷ But Israel shall be saved in the LORD, which is the everlasting salvation: They shall not come to shame nor confusion, world without end.

²⁶ Like as a thief that is taken with the deed cometh to shame, even so is the house of Israel come to confusion: the common people, their kings and rulers, their priests and prophets. ²⁷ For they say to a stock, 'Thou art my father,' and to a stone, 'Thou hast begotten me.' Yea, they have turned their back upon me, and not their face. But in the time of their trouble, when they say, 'Stand up and help us!'

¹⁸ What help then will the Image do, whom the workman hath fashioned? Or the vain cast Image, wherein because the craftsmen putteth his trust, therefore maketh he dumb Idols? ¹⁹ Woe unto him, that sayeth unto a piece of wood, "Arise," and to a dumb stone, "Stand up." For what instruction may such one give? Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath in it. ²⁰ But the LORD in his holy temple is he, whom all the world should fear.

¹¹ And the LORD said unto him, "Who hath made man's mouth, or who hath made the dumb or the deaf, the seeing or the blind? Have not I, the LORD?

¹² As for the hearing of the ear and the sight of the eye, the LORD hath made them both.

⁸ Bring forth that people which is blind, yet hath eyes; which is deaf yet hath ears.

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 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,

¹⁷ because thou sayest thou art rich and increased with goods, and hast need of nothing, and knowest not how thou art wretched and miserable, poor, blind, and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich: and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, that thy filthy nakedness do not appear: and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

⁹ And so he said, "Go, and tell this people: 'Ye shall hear indeed, but ye shall not understand; ye shall plainly see, and not perceive.

⁹ Ponder these things once in your mind, and wonder: Blinded are they themselves, and the blind guides of others; they are drunken, but not with wine; they are unstable, but not through strong drink. ¹⁰ For the LORD shall give you a hard-sleeping spirit, and close your eyes. Your Prophets also, and heads which should see; them shall he cover. ¹¹ And all visions shall be unto you, as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, "Read thou, in it." And he sayeth, "I cannot read it, for it is shut." ¹² But if it be given to one that is not learned, saying, "Read thou, in it." Then sayeth he, "I cannot read." ¹³ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD, "Forsomuch as this people, when they be in trouble, do honor me with their mouth, and with their lips, whereas their heart nevertheless is far from me; and the fear which they owe unto me, that turn they to men's laws and doctrines; ¹⁴ therefore will I also show unto this people a marvelous, terrible, and great thing - Namely this: I will destroy the wisdom of their wise, and the understanding of their learned men shall perish."

²⁶ But I set up the purpose of my servants, and fulfill the counsel of my messengers. I say unto Jerusalem, "Turn again," and to the cities of Judah, "Be ye builded again," and I repair their decayed places.

¹⁰ For his watchmen are all blind, they have altogether no understanding. They are all dumb dogs, no being able to bark; they are sleepery, sluggish, and lie snorting.

²² "Nevertheless this shall come upon them because my people is become foolish, and hath utterly no understanding. They are the children of foolishness, and without any discretion. To do evil, they have wit enough: but to do well, they have no wisdom."

²¹ "Hear this, thou foolish and indiscreet people: ye have eyes, but ye see not; ears have ye, but ye hear not.

² "Thou son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a froward household: which have eyes to see, and yet see not; ears have they to hear, and yet hear they not. For they are an obstinate household.

¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which prophecy saith, 'With the ears ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and with the eyes ye shall see, and shall not perceive." ¹⁵ For this people's hearts are waxed gross. And their ears were dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their hearts, and should turn, that I might heal them.

¹⁴ Let them alone, they be the blind leaders of the blind. If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." ¹⁵ Then answered Peter and said to him, "Declare unto us this parable." ¹⁶ Then said Jesus, "Are ye yet without an understanding?

¹⁶ Woe be unto you, blind guides, for ye which say, 'Whosoever swear by the temple, it is nothing: but whosoever swear by the gold of the temple, he offendeth.' ¹⁷ Ye fools and blind: whether is greater; the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? ¹⁸ And, 'Whosoever sweareth by the altar it is nothing: but whosoever sweareth by the offering that lieth on the altar offendeth.' ¹⁹ Ye fools and blind: whether is greater; the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering? ²⁰ Whosoever therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that thereon is. ²¹ And whosoever sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. ²² And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the seat of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. ²³ Woe be to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye which tithe mint, anise, and cumin, and leave the weightier matters of the law undone: judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to have left the other undone. ²⁴ Ye blind guides, which strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.

¹⁷ And when Jesus knew that, he said unto them, "Why take ye thought because ye have no bread? Perceive ye not yet, neither understand? Have ye your hearts yet blinded? ¹⁸ Have ye eyes and see not? And have ye ears and hear not? Do ye not remember?

⁴⁷ Then answered them the Pharisees, "Are ye also deceived? ⁴⁸ Doth any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees, believe on him? ⁴⁹ But the common people which know not the law are accursed."

⁴¹ Jesus said unto them, "If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remaineth."

⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts: that they should not see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and should be converted and I should heal them."

¹⁷ Behold, thou art called a Jew, and trustest in the law and rejoicest in God, ¹⁸ and knowest his will, and hast experience of good and bad, in that thou art informed by the law: ¹⁹ And believest that thou thyself art a guide unto the blind, a light to them which are in darkness, ²⁰ an informer of them which lack discretion, a teacher of the unlearned, which hast the example of that which ought to be known, and of the truth in the law. ²¹ But thou which teachest another, teachest not thyself. Thou preachest, a man should not steal: and yet thou stealest. ²² Thou sayest, a man should not commit adultery: and thou breakest wedlock. ²³ Thou abhorrest images: and robbest God of his honour. Thou rejoicest in the law: and through breaking the law dishonourest God.

⁷ What then? Israel hath not obtained that that he sought. No but yet the election hath obtained it. The remnant are blinded, ⁸ according as it is written, "God hath given them the spirit of unquietness: eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, even unto this day." ⁹ And David saith, "Let their table be made a snare to take them withal, and an occasion to fall, and a reward unto them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and ever bow down their backs."

²⁵ I would not that this secret should be hid from you my brethren, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits: that partly blindness is happened in Israel, until the fullness of the gentiles be come in.

¹⁴ But their minds were blinded. For until this day remaineth the same covering, untaken away, in the old testament when they read it — which in Christ is put away: ¹⁵ But even unto this day, when Moses is read the veil hangeth before their hearts.

⁴ in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest should shine unto them the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, which is the image of God.

²² For of all those men which have seen my glory and my miracles which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tempted me now this ten times and have not hearkened unto my voice,

⁹ Take heed to thyself therefore only and keep thy soul diligently, that thou forget not the things which thine eyes have seen, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the days of thine life: but teach them thy sons, and thy son's sons.

² And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, "Ye have seen all, that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, unto Pharaoh and unto all his servants, and unto all his land, ³ and the great temptations which thine eyes have seen, and those great miracles and wonders. ⁴ And yet the LORD hath not given you a heart to perceive, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear unto this day.

¹⁰ and showed tokens and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they were presumptuous and cruel against them; and so madest thou thee a name as it is this day. ¹¹ And the reed sea didst thou divide in sunder before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea dry-shoed: and their persecutors threwest thou into the deep as a stone, in the mighty waters; ¹² and leddest them in the daytime in a cloudy pillar; and on the night season in a pillar of fire, to show them light in the way that they went. ¹³ Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest unto them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, true laws, good commandments and statutes, ¹⁴ and declared unto them thy holy Sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, ordinances, and laws, by Moses thy servant: 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. ¹⁶ But our fathers were proud, and hard necked, so that they followed not thy commandments, ¹⁷ and refused to hear, and were not mindful of the wonders that thou didst for them: but became obstinate and heady insomuch that they turned back to their bondage in their disobedience. But thou, my God, forgavest, and wast gracious, merciful, patient, and of great goodness, and forsookest them not.

⁷ Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypt, neither kept they thy great goodness in remembrance, but were disobedient at the sea, even at the reed sea. ⁸ Nevertheless, he helped them for his name's sake, that he might make his power to be known. ⁹ He rebuked the reed sea, and it was dried up: so he led them through the deep, as through a wilderness. ¹⁰ And he saved them from the adversary's hand, and delivered them from the hand of the enemy. ¹¹ As for those that troubled them, the waters overwhelmed them; there was not one of them left. ¹² Then believed they in his word, and sang praise unto him. ¹³ But within a while they forgot his works, and would not abide his counsel.

⁴³ Whoso is wise, and pondereth these things well, shall understand the loving-kindness of the LORD.

³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the Ass his master's crib; but Israel knoweth nothing. My people hath no understanding.

⁶ Hear and consider all these things, whether it was ye that prophesied them: But as for me, I told thee before at the beginning, new and secret things that thou knewest not of. ⁷ And some done now not of old time, whereof thou never heardest before they were brought to pass: that thou cannot say "I knew of them." 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.

² For me they seek day by day; and will know my ways, as a people that doth righteousness, and hath not forsaken the equity of their God.

¹⁰ But unto whom shall I speak, whom shall I warn, that he may take heed? Their ears are so uncircumcised, that they may not hear. Behold, they take the word of God but for a scorn, and have no lust thereto.

² and said unto Jeremiah the prophet, "O hear our petition, that thou mayest pray for us unto the LORD thy God, and for the remnant, whereof there be very few left of many, as thou seest us: ³ that the LORD thy God may show us a way to go in, and tell us what we should do." ⁴ Then Jeremiah the Prophet said unto them, "I have heard you. Behold, I will pray unto God your LORD, as ye have required me: and look what answer the LORD giveth you, I shall certify you thereof, and keep nothing back from you." ⁵ And they said to Jeremiah, "The LORD of truth and faithfulness be our record, that we will do all that the LORD thy God commandeth us;

³¹ These come unto thee, after the manner of a great people: yea, my people sit down before thee, and hear thy words, but they do not thereafter: for in their mouths they show themselves, as though they were fervent, but their heart goeth after their own covetous lucre.

¹⁹ Herodias laid wait for him, and would have killed him, but she could not. ²⁰ For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man, and a holy, and gave him reverence; And when he heard him he did many things, and heard him gladly.

³⁷ And Jesus said unto him, "Thou hast seen him, and he it is that talketh with thee." ³⁸ And he said, "Lord, I believe," and worshipped him. 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." ⁴⁰ And some of the Pharisees which were with him, heard these words and said unto him, "Are we then 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?" ³⁸ Jesus again groaned in himself and came to the grave: it was a cave, and a stone laid on it. ³⁹ And Jesus said, "Take ye away the stone." Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said unto him, "Lord by this time he stinketh. For he hath been dead four days." ⁴⁰ Jesus said unto her, "Said I not unto thee, that if thou didst believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?" ⁴¹ Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lift up his eyes and said, "father I thank thee, because that thou hast heard me; ⁴² I know that thou hearest me always: but because of the people that stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me." ⁴³ And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus come forth." ⁴⁴ And he that was dead, came forth bound hand and foot, with grave bonds after the manner as they were wont to bind their dead withal. And his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, "Loose him, and let him go." ⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ Then gathered the high priests and the Pharisees a council and said, "What do we? This man doeth many miracles. ⁴⁸ If we let him escape thus, all men will believe on him. And the Romans shall come and take away our country and the people." ⁴⁹ And one of them named Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year, said unto them, "Ye perceive nothing at all: ⁵⁰ nor yet consider that it is expedient for us, that one man die for the people, and not that all the people perish."

²² But we will hear of thee what thou thinkest. For we have heard of this sect, that everywhere it is spoken against." ²³ And when they had appointed him a day, there came many unto him into his lodging: to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God; and preached unto them of Jesus: both out of the law of Moses, and also out of the prophets, even from morning to night. ²⁴ And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. ²⁵ When they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, "Well spake the holy ghost by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers, ²⁶ saying, 'Go unto this people and say: with your ears shall ye hear, and shall not understand: and with your eyes shall ye see and shall not perceive. ²⁷ For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears were thick of hearing, and their eyes have they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and should be converted, and I should heal them.'

²¹ But thou which teachest another, teachest not thyself. Thou preachest, a man should not steal: and yet thou stealest.

⁸ that I should fulfill thy will, O my God. I am content to do it; yea, thy law is within my heart."

¹⁶ I will go forth in the strength of the LORD God, and will make mention of thy righteousness only.

¹⁹ Thy righteousness, O God, is very high, and great things are they that thou hast done; O God, who is like unto thee?

⁹ For his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. ¹⁰ Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. ¹¹ Truth shall flourish out of the earth, and righteousness hath looked down from heaven. ¹² Yea, the LORD shall show loving-kindness, and our land shall give her increase.

²⁴ Therefore saith the LORD God of Hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah, I must ease me of mine enemies, and avenge me upon them. ²⁵ And therefore shall I lay my hand upon thee, and burn out thy dross from the finest and purest, and put out all thy lead, ²⁶ and set thy judges again as they were sometime, and thy Senators as they were from the beginning. Then shalt thou be called the righteous city, the faithful city. ²⁷ But Zion shall be redeemed with equity, and they shall turn again unto her in righteousness.

¹² Hear me, O ye that are of a high stomach, but far from righteousness: ¹³ I shall bring forth my righteousness. It is not far, and my health shall not tarry long away. I will lay health in Zion, and give Israel my glory.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are determined over thy people, and over the holy city: that the wickedness may be consumed, that the sin may have an end, that the offense may be reconciled, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, to fulfill the visions and the Prophets, and to anoint the most holy one. ²⁵ Understand this then, and mark it well: That from the time it shall be concluded to go and repair Jerusalem again, unto Christ, the anointed Prince: there shall be seven weeks.Then shall the streets and walls be builded again sixty two weeks, but with hard troublous time. ²⁶ After these sixty two weeks, shall Christ be slain, and they shall have no pleasure in him. Then shall there come a people with the prince, and destroy the city and the Sanctuary: and his end shall come as the water flood. But the desolation shall continue till the end of the battle. ²⁷ He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of the abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

¹⁵ Jesus answered and said to him, "Let it be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he suffered him.

¹⁷ And, lo, there came a voice from heaven, saying, "This is that, my beloved son, in whom is my delight."

¹⁷ "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the Prophets: No, I am not come to destroy them but to fulfill them. ¹⁸ For truly I say unto you, till heaven and earth perish, one jot or one tittle of the law shall not escape till all be fulfilled. ¹⁹ Whosoever breaketh one of these least commandments, and teacheth men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whosoever observeth, and teacheth the same, shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say unto you, Except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me. The father hath not left me alone; For I do always those things that please him."

³¹ When he was gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the son of man glorified. And God is glorified by him. ³² If God be glorified by him, God shall also glorify him in himself: and shall straightway glorify him.

¹⁰ If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love: even as I have kept my father's commandments, and abide in his love.

³¹ Do we then destroy the law through faith? God forbid. But we, rather, maintain the law.

¹² Wherefore the law is holy: and the commandment holy, just, and good.

³ For what the law could not do, inasmuch as it was weak because of the flesh — that performed God, and sent his son in the similitude of sinful flesh, and by sin damned sin in the flesh; ⁴ that the righteousness required of the law might be fulfilled in us, which walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.

⁴ For Christ is the end of the law to justify all that believe.

¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and made agreement between the world and himself, and imputed not their sins unto them: and hath committed to us the preaching of the atonement. ²⁰ Now then are we messengers in the room of Christ: even as though God did beseech you through us. So pray we you, in Christ's stead, that ye be at one with God: ²¹ for he hath made him to be sin for us, which knew no sin, that we by his means should be that righteousness which before God is allowed.

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" —

²¹ Is the law, then, against the promise of God? God forbid. Howbeit, if there had been a law given which could have given life: then no doubt righteousness should have come by the law.

²² But the fruit of the spirit is: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance. ²³ Against such there is no law.

⁹ and might be found in him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the law: But that which springeth of the faith which is in Christ. I mean, the righteousness which cometh of God through faith

¹⁰ For this is the testament that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws in their minds, and in their hearts, I will write them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

⁴ All that commit sin, committeth unrighteousness also, for sin is unrighteousness. ⁵ And ye know that he appeared to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him.

²⁹ And thou shalt grope at noonday as the blind gropeth in darkness, and shalt not come to the right way. And thou shalt suffer violence and wrong all thy life long, and no man shall help thee. ³⁰ Thou shalt be betrothed unto a wife, and another shall lie with her. Thou shalt build a house and another shall dwell therein. Thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not make it common. ³¹ Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof. Thine ass shall be violently taken away even before thy face, and shall not be restored thee again. Thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and no man shall help thee. ³² Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another nation, and thine eyes shall see and daze upon them all day long, but shalt have no might in thine hand. ³³ The fruit of thy land and all thy labours shall a nation eat, which thou knowest not; and thou shalt but suffer violence only and be oppressed always,

²² O consider this, ye that forget God, lest I pluck you away, and there be none to deliver you.

²⁰ that he may hear the mournings of such as be in captivity, and deliver the children that are appointed unto death,

⁷ Your land lieth waste, your cities are burnt up, your enemies devour your land, and ye must be fain to stand, and look upon it: and it is desolate, as it were with enemies in a battle.

¹⁷ Is this he that made the world in a manner waste, and laid the cities to the ground, which let not his prisoners go home?"

² which sendeth her message over the sea in ships of reeds upon the water. Get ye hence, ye speedy messengers, to a nation that is scattered abroad and robbed of that they had: a fearful nation from their beginning hitherto; a nation trodden down by little and little, whose land the floods have spoiled.

¹⁸ It will come to pass, that whoso escapeth the terrible cry, shall fall in to the pit. And if he come out of the pit, he shall be taken with the snare. For the windows above shall be opened, and the foundations of the earth shall move.

²² These shall be coupled together as prisoners be, and shall be shut up in one ward and punished innumerable days.

¹ In the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came down, to lay siege unto all the strong cities of Judah.

⁷ That thou mayest open the eyes of the blind; let out the prisoners, and them that sit in darkness, out of the dungeon house.

²³ And will put it in their hand that trouble thee: which have spoken to thy soul, "Stoop down, that we may go over thee: make thy body even with the ground, and as the street to go upon."

⁴ For thus hath the LORD said: My people went down aforetime into Egypt, there to be strangers. Afterward did the king of the Assyrians oppress them for naught. ⁵ And now what profit is it to me, sayeth the LORD? That my people is freely carried away, and brought into heaviness by their rulers, and my name ever still blasphemed, sayeth the LORD?

⁹ All the beasts of the field, and all the beasts of the wood, shall come to devour him.

¹⁷ Israel is a scattered flock, the Lions have dispersed them. First the king of the Assyrians devoured them, last of all this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath bruised all their bones.

³⁴ 'Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured and destroyed me, he hath made me an empty vessel. He swallowed me up like a dragon, and filled his belly with my delicates: he hath cast me out. ³⁵ He hath taken my substance away and the thing that was left me hath he carried unto Babylon,' sayeth the daughter that dwelleth in Zion. 'Yea, and my blood also, unto the Chaldeans,' sayeth Jerusalem.

⁴ But in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth Month, the tenth day of the Month, it happened that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, with all his Host, came before Jerusalem: and besieged it, and made them bulwarks round about it. ⁵ And this besieging of the city endured unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. ⁶ And in the fourth Month, the ninth day of the Month, there was so great hunger in the city that there were no more victuals for the people of the land. ⁷ So all the soldiers brake away, and fled out of the city by night through the way of the port between the two walls by the king's garden. Now the Chaldeans had compassed the city round about; yet went these men their way toward the wilderness. ⁸ And so the Chaldeans followed upon them, and took Zedekiah the king in the field of Jericho, when his host was run from him. ⁹ So they carried the king away prisoner to Riblah, unto the king of Babylon in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him. ¹⁰ The king of Babylon also caused Zedekiah's sons to be slain before his face; yea and put all the princes of Judah to death at Riblah. ¹¹ Moreover, he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, caused him to be bound with chains, to be carried unto Babylon, and let him live in prison till he died.

³¹ In the thirty seventh year after that Jehoiachin the king of Judah was carried away in the twenty fifth day of the twelfth Month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, the same year that he reigned, gave Jehoiachin the king of Judah his pardon, and let him out of prison,

⁴¹ And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept on it, ⁴² saying, "If thou hadst known those things which belong unto thy peace, even at thy time: But now are they hid from thine eyes. ⁴³ For the days shall come upon thee; that thy enemies shall cast a bank about thee, and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side; ⁴⁴ And make thee even with the ground, with thy children which are in thee. And they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation."

²⁰ "And when ye see Jerusalem besieged with a host, then understand that the desolation of the same is nigh. ²¹ Then let them which are in Jewry fly to the mountains. And let them which are in the midst of it, depart out. And let not them that are in other countries, come therein. ²² For these be the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that are written. ²³ But woe be to them that be with child, and to them that give suck in those days, for there shall be great trouble in the land: and wrath over all this people. ²⁴ And they shall fall on the edge of the sword. And they shall be led captive into all nations. And Jerusalem shall be trodden underfoot of the gentiles, until the time of the gentiles be fulfilled.

⁴⁰ And they shall confess their misdeeds and the misdeeds of their fathers; in their trespasses which they have trespassed against me, and for that also that they have walked contrary unto me. ⁴¹ Therefore I also will walk contrary unto them, and will bring them into the land of their enemies. And then at the least way their uncircumcised hearts shall be tamed, and then they shall make an atonement for their misdeeds. ⁴² "'And I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham, and will think on the land.

²⁹ Neverthelater, ye shall seek the LORD your God even there, and shalt find him if thou seek him with all thine heart and with all thy soul. ³⁰ In thy tribulation and when all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, thou shalt turn unto the LORD thy God, and shalt hearken unto his voice. ³¹ For the LORD thy God is a merciful God: he will not forsake thee neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant made with thy fathers which he sware unto them.

²⁹ I would they were wise, and understood this, and would consider their latter end.'

²² "O ye children, how long will ye love childishness? How long will the scorners delight in scorning, and the unwise be enemies unto knowledge? ²³ O turn you unto my correction: lo, I will express my mind unto you, and make you understand my words.

¹⁸ And so though your sins be like to purple, they shall be made as white as snow; and though they be as red as scarlet, they shall be made like white wool. ¹⁹ If ye will agree and hearken, ye shall eat the best of the land, saith the LORD God. ²⁰ But if ye be obstinate and rebellious, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for thus the LORD hath promised with his own mouth.

¹⁸ If thou wilt now regard my commandment, thy wealthiness shall be as the water stream: and thy righteousness as the waves flowing in the sea.

⁴ Else wouldst thou say unto me, 'O my father, thou art he that hast brought me up, and led me from my youth: ⁵ Wilt thou then put me away and cast me off for ever? Or wilt thou withdraw thyself clean from me?' Nevertheless, thou speakest such words, but thou art ever doing worse and worse." ⁶ The LORD said also unto me, in the time of Josiah the king, "Hast thou seen what that shrinking Israel hath done? How she hath run up upon all high hills, and among all thick trees, and there played the harlot? ⁷ Hast thou seen also, when she had done all this, how I said unto her that she should turn again unto me, and yet she is not returned? Judah, that unfaithful sister of hers also saw this:

¹³ but on this condition, that thou know thy great blasphemy: Namely, that thou hast unfaithfully forsaken the LORD thy God, and hast made thyself partaker of strange gods under all green trees, but hast had no will to hear my voice, sayeth the LORD.

⁹ The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man that shall be saved considereth thy name, O LORD. Hear and that thy name may be righteousness. Hear, O ye tribes: who would else give you such warning?

²⁸ "What say ye to this? A certain man had two sons, and came to the elder and said, 'Son, go and work today in my vineyard.' ²⁹ He answered and said, 'I will not.' But afterward, repented and went. ³⁰ Then came he to the second, and said likewise, and he answered and said, 'I will sir.' Yet went he not. ³¹ Whether of these twain did the will of the father?" And they said unto him, "The first." Jesus said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots shall come into the kingdom of God before you.

¹⁹ Repent ye, therefore, and turn: that your sins may be done away when the time of refreshing cometh, which we shall have of the presence of the Lord,

²² For Moses said unto the fathers, 'A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, even of your brethren, like unto me: him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. ²³ For the time will come, that every soul which shall not hear that same prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.'

² that he henceforward should live as much time as remaineth in the flesh, not after the lusts of men: but after the will of God. ³ For it is sufficient for us that we have spent the time that is past of the life, after the will of the gentiles; walking in wantonness, lusts, drunkenness, in eating, drinking, and in abominable idolatry.

⁴⁹ "And the LORD shall bring a nation upon thee from afar, even from the end of the world, as swift as an eagle flyeth: a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

³⁰ How cometh it that one shall chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand of them to flight — except their rock had sold them, and because the LORD had delivered them.

¹⁴ Wherefore the LORD waxed angry with Israel, and delivered them unto the hands of raveners to spoil them and sold them into the hands of their enemies round about them, so that they had no power any longer to stand before their enemies.

⁸ Therefore the LORD was angry with Israel and delivered them into the hands of Cushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia. So that the children of Israel served Cushanrishathaim eight years.

⁷ And the LORD was wroth with Israel, and sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon:

⁶ For one nation shall destroy another, and one city another: for God will trounce them with all adversity.

¹⁷ And so he brought upon them the king of Chaldeans and slew their young men with the sword in their holy temple, and neither spared young man nor maiden, neither old man, neither so much as him that stooped for age: But gave all into his hand.

²⁶ Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets, which exhorted them so earnestly, that they should convert unto thee, and did great blasphemies. ²⁷ Therefore gavest thou them over into the hand of their enemies that vexed them. And in the time of their trouble they cried unto thee, and thou heardest them from heaven and through thy great mercy thou gavest them saviours, which helped them out of the hand of their enemies.

⁴⁰ Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance; ⁴¹ and gave them over into the hand of the Heathen; and they that hated them, were lords over them. ⁴² Their enemies oppressed them, and had them in subjection.

⁵ Woe be also unto Assyria, which is a staff of my wrath, in whose hand is the rod of my punishment. ⁶ For I shall send him among those hypocritical people, among the people that have deserved my disfavour shall I send him: that he may utterly rob them, spoil them, and tread them down like the mire in the street.

¹⁵ For the LORD God, even the holy one of Israel, hath promised this: "In repentance and in rest shall ye be safe; in quietness and hope shall your strength lie."

⁷ It is I that created the light, and darkness. I make peace, and trouble: yea, even I the LORD do all these things.

⁶ I was so wroth with my people, that I punished mine inheritance, and gave them into thy power. Nevertheless, thou showedest them no mercy, but even the very aged men of them, didst thou oppress right sore with thy yoke.

¹ Thus sayeth the LORD: Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, that I sent unto her? Or who is the usurer, to whom I sold you? Behold, for your own offenses are ye sold: and because of your transgression, is your mother forsaken. ² For why would no man receive me, when I came? And when I called, no man gave me answer. Was my hand clean smitten off, that it might not help? Or had I not power to deliver? Lo, at a word I drink up the sea, and of water floods I make dry land: so that for want of water, the fish corrupt and die of thirst.

¹ Behold, the LORD's hand is not so shortened that it cannot help, neither is his ear so stopped that it may not hear. ² But your misdeeds have separated you from your God, and your sins hide his face from you, that he heareth you not.

¹⁰ But after they provoked him to wrath and vexed his holy mind, he was their enemy, and fought against them himself.

¹⁵ Lo, I will bring a people upon you from far, O house of Israel, sayeth the LORD; a mighty people, an old people, a people whose speech thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.

⁸ "Wherefore, thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts, 'Because ye have not hearkened unto my word; ⁹ Lo, I will send out, and call for all the people that dwell in the North, sayeth the LORD, and will prepare Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon my servant, and will bring them upon this land, and upon all that dwell therein, and upon all the people that are about them, and will utterly root them out. I will make of them a wilderness, a mockage, and a continual desert.

¹⁴ {Nun} The yoke of my transgression is come at the last; with his hand hath he taken it up, and put it about my neck. My strength is gone: the LORD hath delivered me into those hands, whereout I cannot quit myself.

¹⁸ {Tsadi} The LORD is righteous, for I provoked his countenance unto anger. O take heed all ye people, and consider my heaviness: My maidens and my young men are led away in to captivity.

⁶ Cry they out Alarum with the trumpet in the city, and the people not afraid? Cometh there any plague in a city without it be the LORD's doing?

⁷ When the King heard that, he was wroth, and sent forth his warriors and destroyed those murderers, and burnt up their city.

¹⁵ or if ye shall despise mine ordinances, either if your souls refuse my laws, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but shall break mine covenant: ¹⁶ then I will do this again unto you: I will visit you with vexations, swelling, and fevers, that shall make your eyes dazzle; and with sorrows of heart. And ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. ¹⁷ And I will set my face against you and ye shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall reign over you, and ye shall flee when no man followeth you. ¹⁸ "'And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then will I punish you seven times more for your sins, ¹⁹ and will break the pride of your strength. For I will make the heaven over you as hard as iron, and your land as hard as brass. ²⁰ And so your labour shall be spent in vain. For your land shall not give her increase, neither the trees of the land shall give their fruits. ²¹ And if ye walk contrary unto me and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. ²² I will send in wild beasts upon you, which shall rob you of your children and destroy your cattle, and make you so few in number that your highways shall grow unto a wilderness. ²³ And if ye will not be learned yet for all this, but shall walk contrary unto me, ²⁴ then will I also walk contrary unto you and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. ²⁵ I will send a sword upon you, that shall avenge my covenant with you. And when ye are fled unto your cities, I will send the pestilence among you: ye shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies. ²⁶ And when I have broken the staff of your bread: that ten wives shall bake your bread in one oven and men shall deliver you your bread again by weight, then shall ye eat and shall not be satisfied. ²⁷ "'And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, but shall walk contrary unto me, ²⁸ then I will walk contrary unto you also wrathfully, and will also chastise you seven times for your sins: ²⁹ so that ye shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters. ³⁰ And I will destroy your altars built upon high hills, and overthrow your images, and cast your carcasses upon the bodies of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. ³¹ And I will make your cities desolate, and bring your sanctuaries unto nought, and will not smell the savours of your sweet odours. ³² "'And I will bring the land unto a wilderness: so that your enemies which dwell therein shall wonder at it. ³³ And I will straw you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you, and your land shall be waste, and your cities desolate. ³⁴ Then the land shall rejoice in her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth void and ye in your enemies' land: even then shall the land keep holy day and rejoice in her Sabbaths. ³⁵ And as long as it lieth void it shall rest, for that it could not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt therein. ³⁶ "'And upon them that are left alive of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the land of their enemies: so that the sound of a leaf that falleth, shall chase them and they shall flee as though they fled a sword, and shall fall no man following them. ³⁷ And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword even no man following them, and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies: ³⁸ And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. ³⁹ And they that are left of you, shall pine away in their unrighteousness, even in their enemies' land, and also in the misdeeds of their fathers shall they consume. ⁴⁰ And they shall confess their misdeeds and the misdeeds of their fathers; in their trespasses which they have trespassed against me, and for that also that they have walked contrary unto me. ⁴¹ Therefore I also will walk contrary unto them, and will bring them into the land of their enemies. And then at the least way their uncircumcised hearts shall be tamed, and then they shall make an atonement for their misdeeds. ⁴² "'And I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham, and will think on the land. ⁴³ For the land shall be left of them and shall have pleasure in her Sabbaths, while she lieth waste without them, and they shall make an atonement for their misdeeds, because they despised my laws and their souls refused mine ordinances. ⁴⁴ And yet, for all that; when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not so cast them away nor my soul shall not so abhor them, that I will utterly destroy them and break mine covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. ⁴⁵ I will therefore remember unto them the first covenant made when I brought them out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen to be their God: for I am the LORD.'" ⁴⁶ These are the ordinances, judgements, and laws which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

²² For fire is kindled in my wrath: and shall burn unto the bottom of hell; and shall consume the earth with her increase; and set afire the bottoms of the mountains.

⁹ and burnt the house of the LORD and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the great houses burnt he with fire.

⁵ LORD, how long wilt thou be angry? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire forever? ⁶ Pour out thine indignation upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.

¹³ For the people turneth not unto him, that chastiseth them, neither do they seek the LORD of Hosts.

¹³ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD, "Forsomuch as this people, when they be in trouble, do honor me with their mouth, and with their lips, whereas their heart nevertheless is far from me; and the fear which they owe unto me, that turn they to men's laws and doctrines;

⁷ And thou thoughtest thus, "I shall be lady forever." And beside all that, thou hast not regarded these things, neither cast, what should come after.

¹ But in the mean season the righteous perisheth, and no man regardeth it in his heart. Good godly people are taken away, and no man considereth it. Namely, that the righteous is conveyed away through the wicked,

¹¹ For when wilt thou be abashed or fear, seeing thou hast broken thy promise, and rememberest not me, neither hast me in thine heart? Thinkest thou, that I also will hold my peace as afore time, that thou fearest me not?

³ Where as thou, O LORD, lookest only upon faith and truth. Thou hast scourged them, but they took no repentance: thou hast corrected them for amendment, but they refused thy correction. They made their faces harder than stone, and would not amend.

⁸ Therefore, I will shortly pour out my sore displeasure over thee, and fulfill my wrath upon thee. I will judge thee after thy ways, and recompense thee all thy abominations. ⁹ Mine eye shall not oversee thee, neither will I spare thee; but reward thee after thy ways, and show thy abominations, to learn you for to know how that I am the LORD that smiteth.

³⁴ and will bring you out of the nations and lands, wherein ye are scattered; and gather you together with a mighty hand, with a stretched out arm and with indignation poured out upon you;

²¹ I will bring you together, and kindle the fire of my cruel displeasure under you, that ye may be melted therein. ²² Like as the silver is melted in the fire, so shall ye also be melted therein: that ye may know, how that I the LORD have poured my wrath upon you."

⁹ Strangers have devoured his strength, yet he regardeth it not: he waxeth full of gray hairs, yet will he not know it.

⁶ Who may endure before his wrath? Or who is able to abide his grim displeasure? His anger taketh on like fire, and the hard rocks burst in sunder before him.

² If ye will not hear it, nor regard it, to give the glory unto my name, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, I will send a curse upon you, and will curse your blessings. Yea, curse them will I if ye do not take heed.

¹⁸ And of these three, was the third part of men killed, that is to say, of fire, smoke, and brimstone, which proceeded out of the mouths of them: ¹⁹ For their power was in their mouths and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they did hurt. ²⁰ And the remnant of the men which were not killed by these plagues repented not of the deeds of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and images, of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood, which neither can see, neither hear, neither go. ²¹ Also they repented not of their murder, and of their sorcery, neither of their fornication, neither of their theft.

¹ And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go your ways, pour out your vials of wrath upon the earth." ² And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth, and there fell a noisome and a sore botch upon the men, which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. ³ And the second angel shed out his vial upon the sea, and it turned as it were into the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died in the sea. ⁴ And the third angel shed out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters, and they turned to blood. ⁵ And I heard an angel say, "Lord which art and wast, thou art righteous and holy, because thou hast given such judgments, ⁶ for they shed out the blood of saints, and prophets, and therefore hast thou given them blood to drink: for they are worthy." ⁷ And I heard another out of the altar say, "Even so, Lord God almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments." ⁸ And the fourth angel poured out his vial on the sun, and power was given unto him to vex men with heat of fire. ⁹ And the men raged in great heat, and spake evil of the name of God which hath power over those plagues, and they repented not, to give him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast, and his kingdom waxed dark, and they gnawed their tongues for sorrow, ¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven for sorrow, and pain of their sores, and repented not of their deeds. ¹² And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water dried up, that the ways of the kings of the east should be prepared. ¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs, come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, to go out unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God almighty. ¹⁵ "Behold I come as a thief. Happy is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments; Lest he be found naked, and men see his filthiness." ¹⁶ And he gathered them together into a place called, in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon. ¹⁷ And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air. And there came a voice out of heaven from the seat, saying, "It is done." ¹⁸ And there followed voices, thunderings, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great. ¹⁹ And the great city was divided into the three parts; And the cities of nations fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of wine of the fierceness of his wrath. ²⁰ Every isle fled away, and the mountains were not found. ²¹ And there fell a great hail, as it had been talents, out of heaven upon the men; and the men blasphemed God, because of the plague of the hail, for it was great and the plague of it sore.
