Even so is Pharaoh the king of Egypt, unto all them that trust in him. ⁷ But if thou wouldest say unto me: 'We trust in the LORD our God': is not he that God whose High places and altars Hezekiah took down, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem to worship only before this altar? ⁸ Now therefore deliver hostages that thou rebel no more against my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give thee two thousand horses if thou be able to set men upon them. ⁹ Seeing now that thou canst not resist the power of the smallest prince that my LORD hath, how darest thou trust in the chariots and horsemen of Egypt? ¹⁰ Moreover, thinkest thou that I am come down hither, to destroy this land without the LORD's will? The LORD said unto me: Go down into the land, that thou mayest destroy it.'" ¹¹ Then said Eliakim, Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, "Speak to us thy servants, we pray thee, in the Syrians language, for we understand it well: And speak not to us in the Jews' Tongue, lest the folk hear, which lieth upon the wall." ¹² Then answered Rabshakeh, "Think ye, that the king sent me to speak this only unto you? Hath he not sent me to them also, that lie upon the wall? That they be not compelled to eat their own dung, and drink their own stale with you?" ¹³ And Rabshakeh stood stiff, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' tongue, and said, "Now take heed, how the great king of the Assyrians giveth you warning! ¹⁴ Thus sayeth the king, 'Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you.' ¹⁵ Moreover, let not Hezekiah comfort you in the LORD, when he sayeth, 'The LORD with out doubt shall defend us, and shall not give over this city into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.' Believe him not! ¹⁶ But thus sayeth the king of Assyria, 'Obtain my favour, incline to me: so may every man enjoy his vineyards and fig trees, and drink the water of his cistern: ¹⁷ Unto the time that I come myself, and bring you into a land that is like your own: wherein is wheat and wine, which is both sown with seed, and planted with vineyards.' ¹⁸ Let not Hezekiah deceive you, when he sayeth unto you, 'The LORD shall deliver us.' Might the gods of the Gentiles keep every man's land, from the power of the king of the Assyrians? ¹⁹ Where is the God of Hamath and Arpad? Where is the God of Sepharvaim? And who was able to defend Samaria out of my hand? ²⁰ Or which, of all the Gods of the lands, hath delivered their country out of my power, so that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem from my hand?" ²¹ Unto this Hezekiah's messengers held their tongues, and answered not one word: for the king had charged them that they should give him none answer. ²² So came Eliakim, Hilkiah's son the President, Shebna the Scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son the Secretary, unto Hezekiah with rent clothes, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

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.

¹ Cry with the throat and spare not. Lift up thy voice as a trumpet, and tell my people their offences and the house of Jacob their sins.

⁶ Upon the walls of Jerusalem, I have set keepers which shall never cease, neither by day nor yet by night.

¹⁷ And I will set watchmen over you, and therefore take heed unto the voice of the trumpet. But they say, 'We will not take heed.'

⁶ And when it is time, the watchmen upon the mount of Ephraim shall cry, 'Arise, let us go up unto Zion to our LORD God.'" ⁷ For thus sayeth the LORD, "Rejoice with gladness because of Jacob, cry unto the head of the Gentiles: speak out, sing, and say, 'The LORD shall deliver his people, the remnant of Israel, and make them whole.'

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.

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

¹⁷ "Thou son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore take good heed to the words, and give them warning at my commandment.

⁷ And now, O thou son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: that whereas thou hearest anything out of my mouth, thou mayest warn them on my behalf.

⁹ And then will I cleanse the lips of the people, that they may every each one call upon the name of the LORD, and serve him with one shoulder.

⁸ In that day shall the LORD defend the citizens of Jerusalem: so that the weakest then among them shall be as David: and the house of David shall be like as God's house, and as the Angel of the LORD before them.

¹ When the fiftieth day was come, they were all with one accord gathered together in one place.

⁴⁶ And they continued daily with one accord in the temple, and brake bread in every house, and did eat their meat together with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, ⁴⁷ and had favour with all the people, and the Lord added to the congregation daily such as should be saved.

³² And the multitude of them that believed, were of one heart; And of one soul. Also, none of them said that any of the things which he possessed was his own: But had all things common.

¹⁰ I beseech you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all speak one thing and that there be no dissension among you: but be ye perfect in one mind, and one meaning.

¹² Now we see in a glass, even in a dark speaking: but then shall we see face to face. Now I know unperfectly: but then shall I know even as I am known.

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,

¹⁷ Obey them that have the oversight of you, and submit yourselves to them, for they watch for your souls, even as they that must give accounts for them: that they may do it with joy, and not with grief. For that is an unprofitable thing for you.

⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and twenty four elders fell down before the lamb, having harps and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints, 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."

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

⁴ And the twenty four elders and the four beasts fell down, and worshipped God that sat on the seat saying, "Amen, Hallelujah!"

¹¹ Let the sea make a noise, yea and all that therein is. {TYNDALE: Let the sea thunder, and his fullness;} ¹² Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it, let all the trees of the wood leap for joy before the LORD, {TYNDALE: And let the fields rejoice and all that is therein. Moreover, let the trees of the wood ring at the presence of the LORD:}

⁴ Show yourselves joyful unto the LORD, all ye lands: sing, rejoice, and give thanks.

⁷ And therefore the whole world is at rest and quietness, and men sing for joy.

¹⁰ Sing unto the LORD, a new song of thanksgiving; blow out his praise unto the end of the world. They that be upon the sea, and all that is therein, praise him; the Isles and they that dwell in them. ¹¹ Let the wilderness with her cities lift up her voice; the towns also that be in Cedar. Let them be glad that sit upon rocks of stone; and let them cry down from the high mountains

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.

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.

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.

³ For the LORD hath compassion on Zion and hath compassion on all that is decayed therein, and will make her wilderness as paradise, and her desert as the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, with thanksgiving and the voice of praise.

¹ Therefore be glad now, thou barren that bearest not. Rejoice, sing and be merry, thou that art not with child: For the desolate hath more children, than the married wife, sayeth the LORD. ² Make thy tent wider, and spread out the hangings of thine habitation: spare not, lay forth thy cords, and make fast thy stakes: ³ for thou shalt be multiplied on the right side and on the left, and thy seed shall have the Gentiles in possession, and dwell in the desolate cities.

¹² And so shall ye go forth with joy, and be lead with peace. The mountains and hills shall sing with you for joy, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

⁴ They shall build the long rough wildernesses, and set up the old desert. They shall repair the waste places, and such as have been void throughout many generations.

¹⁸ but men shall be glad and evermore rejoice, for the things that I shall do. For why? Behold, I shall make a joyful Jerusalem; ¹⁹ yea, I myself will rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with my people. And the voice of weeping and wailing shall not be heard in her from thence forth.

¹⁰ Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her. Be joyful with her, all ye that mourned for her. ¹¹ For ye shall suck comfort out of her breasts, and be satisfied. Ye shall taste, and have delight in the plenteousness of her power. ¹² For thus sayeth the LORD: behold, I will let peace into her, like a water flood, and the might of the Heathen like a flowing stream. Then shall ye suck, ye shall be born upon her sides, and be joyful upon her knees. ¹³ For like as a child is comforted of his mother, so shall I comfort you, and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

¹⁴ Give thanks, O daughter Zion! Be joyful, O Israel! Rejoice and be glad from thy whole heart, O daughter Jerusalem! ¹⁵ For the LORD hath taken away thy punishment, and turned back thine enemies. The king of Israel, even the LORD himself is with thee: so that thou needest no more to fear any misfortune.

²⁷ For it is written, "Rejoice thou barren, that bearest no children: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not. For the desolate hath many more children, than she which hath a husband."

²⁷ All the ends of the world shall remember themselves, and be turned unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the people shall worship before him.

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.

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.

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

⁶ And all flesh shall see the saviour sent of God."

⁵ And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, which were of all nations under heaven. ⁶ When this was noised about, the multitude came together and were astonished, because that every man heard them speak his own tongue. ⁷ They wondered all, and marveled: saying among themselves, "Behold, are not all these which speak of Galilee? ⁸ And how hear we every man his own tongue wherein we were born? ⁹ Parthians, Medes, and Elamites and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia, of Jewry and of Cappadocia, of Pontus and of Asia; ¹⁰ Phrigia, Pamphylia, and of Egypt, and of the parts of Libya, which is beside Cyrene; And strangers of Rome; ¹¹ Jews and converts, Greeks and Arabians: We have heard them speak with our own tongues the great works of God."

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.'"

¹⁵ And the seventh angel blew, and there were made great voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world are our Lord's and his Christ's, and he shall reign for evermore." ¹⁶ And the twenty four elders, which sit before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, ¹⁷ saying, "We give thee thanks Lord God, almighty: which art and wast, and art to come, for thou hast received thy great might, and hast reigned.

⁴ Who shall not fear, o Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy, and all gentiles shall come and worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest."

² Either when a man toucheth any unclean thing: whether it be the carrion of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or unclean worm and is not ware of it, he is also unclean and hath offended. ³ Either when he toucheth any uncleanness of man — whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man is defiled withal — and is not ware of it and afterward cometh to the knowledge of it, he is a trespasser.

³ Then Moses said unto Aaron, "This is it that the LORD spake, saying, 'I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified.'" And Aaron held his peace.

²⁶ "'Among all manner beasts, they that have hoofs and divide them not into two claws or that chew not the cud, shall be unclean unto you: and all that toucheth them shall be unclean. ²⁷ And all that goeth upon his hands among all manner beasts that go on all fours, are unclean unto you: and as many as touch their carcasses, shall be unclean until the evening.

⁴⁵ For I am the LORD that brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: be holy therefore, for I am holy.

⁴⁷ that ye may put difference between unclean and clean, and between the beasts that are eaten and the beasts that are not eaten.'"

⁵ He that toucheth his couch, shall wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and be unclean until the even. ⁶ He that sitteth on that whereon he sat, shall wash his clothes and bathe himself with water and be unclean until the evening. ⁷ And he that toucheth his flesh shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean unto the evening. ⁸ If any such spit upon him that is clean, he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until even. ⁹ "'And whatsoever saddle that he rideth upon, shall be unclean. ¹⁰ And whosoever toucheth anything that was under him, shall be unclean unto the evening. And he that beareth any such things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water and be unclean unto the even, ¹¹ and whosoever he toucheth — if he have not first washed his hands in water — must wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean unto the evening. ¹² And if he touch a vessel of earth, it shall be broken: and all vessels of wood shall be rinsed in the water. ¹³ "'When he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue, let him number seven days after he is clean, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and then he is clean. ¹⁴ And the eighth day let him take two turtle doves or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of witness, and give them unto the priest. ¹⁵ And the priest shall offer them: the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering: and make an atonement for him before the LORD, as concerning his issue. ¹⁶ "'If any man's seed depart from him in his sleep, he shall wash his flesh in water and be unclean until evening. ¹⁷ And all the clothes or furs whereon such seed chanceth shall be washed with water and be unclean unto the evening. ¹⁸ And if a woman lie with such a one, they shall wash themselves with water and be unclean until even. ¹⁹ When a woman's natural course of blood runneth, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean unto the evening. ²⁰ And all that she lieth or sitteth upon as long as she is put apart shall be unclean. ²¹ And whosoever toucheth her couch shall wash his clothes and bathe himself with water and be unclean unto the evening. ²² And whosoever toucheth anything that she sat upon, shall wash his clothes and wash himself also in water, and be unclean unto the even: ²³ so that whether he touch her couch or anything whereon she hath sitten, he shall be unclean unto the evening. ²⁴ And if a man lie with her in the mean time, he shall be put apart as well as she and shall be unclean seven days, and all his couch wherein he sleepeth shall be unclean. ²⁵ "'When a woman's blood runneth long time: whether out of the time of her natural course: as long as her uncleanness runneth, she shall be unclean after the manner as when she is put apart. ²⁶ All her couches whereon she lieth —as long as her issue listeth — shall be unto her as her couch when she is put apart. And whatsoever she sitteth upon, shall be unclean, as is her uncleanness when she is put apart. ²⁷ And whosoever toucheth them, shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean unto evening. ²⁸ And when she is cleansed of her issue, let her count her seven days, after that she is clean. ²⁹ And the eighth day let her take two turtles or two young pigeons and bring them unto the priest unto the door of the tabernacle of witness. ³⁰ And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering: and so make an atonement for her before the LORD, as concerning her unclean issue. ³¹ "'Make the children of Israel to keep themselves from their uncleanness, that they die not in their uncleanness: when they have defiled my habitation that is among them. ³² This is the law of him that hath a running sore, and of him whose seed runneth from him in his sleep and is defiled therewith, ³³ and of her that hath an issue of blood as long as she is put apart, and of whosoever hath a running sore whether it be man or woman, and of him that sleepeth with her that is unclean.'"

² "Bid Aaron and his sons that they abstain from the hallowed things of the children of Israel which they have hallowed unto me, that they pollute not mine holy name: for I am the LORD. ³ Say unto them, 'Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generation after you, that goeth unto the hallowed things which the children of Israel shall have hallowed unto the LORD, his uncleanness shall be upon him: and that soul shall perish from out of my sight. I am the LORD. ⁴ None of the seed of Aaron that is a leper or that hath a running sore, shall eat of the hallowed things until he be clean. And whosoever toucheth any unclean soul or man whose seed runneth from him by night, ⁵ or whosoever toucheth any worm that is unclean to him, or man that is unclean to him, whatsoever uncleanness he hath: ⁶ the same soul that hath touched any such thing, shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the hallowed things until he have washed his flesh with water. ⁷ And then when the sun is down he shall be clean and shall afterward eat of the hallowed things: for they are his food. ⁸ Of a beast that dieth alone or is rent with wild beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD. ⁹ But let them keep therefore mine ordinance, lest they lade sin upon them and die therein when they have defiled themselves: for I am the LORD which sanctify them. ¹⁰ "'There shall no stranger eat of the hallowed things, neither a guest of the priests, or a hired servant. ¹¹ But if the priest buy any fowl with money he may eat of it, and he also that is born in his house may eat of his bread. ¹² If the priest's daughter be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of the hallowed heave offerings. ¹³ Notwithstanding, if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, but is returned unto her father's house again, she shall eat of her father's bread as well as she did in her youth. But there shall no stranger eat thereof. ¹⁴ "'If a man eat of the hallowed things unwittingly, he shall put the fifth part thereunto, and make good unto the priest the hallowed thing. ¹⁵ And let the priests see, that they defile not the hallowed things of the children of Israel which they have offered unto the LORD, ¹⁶ lest they lade themselves with misdoing and trespass in eating their hallowed things, for I am the LORD which hallow them.'" ¹⁷ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ¹⁸ "Speak unto Aaron and his sons and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, 'Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel or stranger in Israel that will offer his offering: whatsoever vow or freewill offering it be which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering to reconcile them selves, ¹⁹ it must be a male without blemish of the oxen, sheep or goats. ²⁰ Let them offer nothing that is deformed for they shall get no favour therewith. ²¹ If a man will offer a peace offering unto the LORD and separate a vow or a freewill offering of the oxen or the flock, it must be without deformity, that it may be accepted. There may be no blemish therein: ²² whether it be blind, broken, wounded or have a wen, or be mangy or scabbed; see that ye offer no such unto the LORD, nor put an offering of any such upon the altar unto the LORD. ²³ An ox or a sheep that hath any member out of proportion, mayst thou offer for a freewill offering: but in a vow it shall not be accepted. ²⁴ Thou shalt not offer unto the LORD that which hath his stones bruised, broken, plucked out or cut away, neither shalt make any such in your land, ²⁵ neither of a stranger's hand shall ye offer an offering to your God of any such. For they mar all in that they have deformities in them, and therefore cannot be accepted for you.'" ²⁶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ²⁷ "When an ox, a sheep or a goat is brought forth, it shall be seven days under the dam. And from the eighth day forth, it shall be accepted unto a gift in the sacrifice of the LORD. ²⁸ And whether it be ox or sheep, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day. ²⁹ When ye will offer a thank offering unto the LORD, ye shall so offer it that ye may be accepted. ³⁰ And the same day it must be eaten up, so that ye leave none of it until the morrow. For I am the LORD. ³¹ Keep now my commandments and do them, for I am the LORD. ³² And pollute not my holy name, that I may be hallowed among the children of Israel. For I am the LORD which hallow you, ³³ and brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: for I am the LORD."

⁷ And king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of Jerusalem and put in his god's house. ⁸ Those did Cyrus the king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. ⁹ And this is the number of them: thirty basins of gold, and a thousand basins of silver, nine and twenty knives, ¹⁰ thirty cups of gold, and of other silver cups four hundred and ten, and of other vessels a thousand. ¹¹ So that all the vessels both of gold and silver, were five thousand and four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought them all up, with them that came up out of the captivity of Babylon unto Jerusalem.

²⁵ and weighed them there the silver and gold and vessels for the heave offering unto the house of our God, which the king and his lords of his counsel and princes, and all Israel that were at hand, had given to the heave offering: ²⁶ And there weighed I them, under their hand, six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and in silver vessel a hundred talents, and in gold a hundred talents, ²⁷ twenty cups of gold of a thousand drams, and two costly ornaments of good brass, as clear as gold, ²⁸ and said unto them, "Ye are holy unto the LORD, therefore are these vessels holy also, and so is the silver and the gold that is given of a good will unto the LORD God of your fathers: ²⁹ Watch ye therefore and keep it, till ye weigh it down before the chief priests and Levites, and ancient fathers of Israel at Jerusalem in the chests of the house of the LORD." ³⁰ Then took the priests and the Levites that weighed silver and gold and vessel, to bring it to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.

¹⁶ Thus saith the LORD God: Wash and be clean; put away the wickedness of your imaginations out of my sight. Cease to do evil and learn to do well.

⁸ Yet shall ye flee from Babylon, and depart out of the land of the Chaldeans, and ye shall be as the rams that go before the flock.

²³ They shall show my people the difference between the holy and unholy, betwixt the clean and unclean.

¹³ Then said Haggai, "Now if one being defiled with a dead carcass, touch any of these: shall it also be unclean?" ¹⁴ The Priests gave answer and said, "Yea, it shall be unclean." Then Haggai answered, and said, "Even so is this people and this nation before me, sayeth the LORD: and so are all the works of their hands, yea and all that they offer, is unclean.

⁶ "O get you forth! O flee from the land of the north, sayeth the LORD; ye whom I have scattered into the four winds under heaven, sayeth the LORD. ⁷ Save thy self, O Zion, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

¹⁴ But Peter said, "God forbid Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."

²⁸ And he said unto them, "Ye do know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to company or come unto an alien: But God hath showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean:

¹⁴ For I know, and am full certified in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing common of itself: but unto him that judgeth it to be common, to him it is common.

¹⁷ Wherefore, "Come out from among them, and separate yourselves," saith the Lord, "and touch none unclean thing: so will I receive you,

¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather rebuke them.

¹⁴ as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves unto your old lusts of ignorance: ¹⁵ But as he which called you is holy, even so be ye holy in all manner of conversation, ¹⁶ because it is written, "Be ye holy, for I am holy."

⁵ and ye, as living stones, are made a spiritual house, and a holy priesthood, for to offer up spiritual sacrifice, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

¹¹ Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers, and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which fight against the soul,

¹¹ Of this manner shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, and shoes on your feet, and your staves in your hands. And ye shall eat it in haste; for it is the LORD's Passover.

³³ And the Egyptians were fierce upon the people and made haste to send them out of the land: for they said, "We be all dead men."

³⁹ And they baked sweet cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt, for it was not soured: because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry, neither had they prepared them any other provision of meat.

²¹ And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud to lead them the way: and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light: that they might go both by day and night. ²² And the pillar of the cloud never departed by day nor the pillar of fire by night out of the people's sight.

⁸ For the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he followed after the children of Israel which for all that went out through a high hand.

¹⁹ And the angel of God which went before the host of Israel, removed and went behind them. And the clouden pillar that was before them removed and stood behind them ²⁰ and went between the host of the Egyptians and the host of Israel. It was a dark cloud, and gave light by night: so that all the night long the one could not come at the other.

²⁵ And hindmost of all the host came the standard of the host of the children of Dan with their armies: whose captain was, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

⁴ For the LORD thy God goeth with you to fight for you against your enemies and to save you.'

¹⁴ Then said Deborah unto Barak, "Up, for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hands: for the LORD is gone out before thee." And so Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

¹⁵ And when thou hearest a sound go in the tops of the pear trees, then go out to battle: for God will go out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines."

¹⁶ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: "Behold, I will lay a stone in Zion, a great stone, a costly corner stone, for a sure foundation: that whoso putteth his trust in him, shall not be confounded.

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

⁸ Then should the light break out as doth the dayspring, and then health should shortly bud out. And thy righteousness shall go before thee, and the glory of the LORD would come upon thee.

¹³ Whoso breaketh the gap, he shall go before. They shall break up the port, and go in and out at it. Their king shall go before them, and the LORD shall be upon the head of them.

⁷ Above all things, be strong and harden thyself, to observe and to do according to all the laws which Moses my servant commanded thee. Turn there from neither to the righthand, nor to the left: that thou mayest have understanding in all thou takest in hand. ⁸ Let not the book of this law depart out of thy mouth: but record therein day and night that thou mayest be circumspect to do according to all that is written therein. For then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have understanding.

⁶ "Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion." ⁷ As for me, I will preach the law, whereof the LORD hath said unto me, "Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee. ⁸ Desire of me, and I shall give thee the Heathen for thine inheritance; and the uttermost parts of the world for thy possession. ⁹ Thou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron, and break them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

¹ {A Psalm of David} The LORD said unto my LORD, "Sit thou on my righthand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." ² The LORD shall send the rod of thy power out of Zion; be thou ruler, even in the midst among thine enemies.

⁶ For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. Upon his shoulders shall the kingdom lie, and he shall be called with his own name, "Wonderful, the giver of counsel, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace." ⁷ He shall make no end to increase the kingdom and peace, and shall sit upon the seat of David and in his kingdom, to set up the same: to establish it with equity and righteousness, from thenceforth for evermore. This shall the jealousy of the LORD of hosts bring to pass.

² And on him shall light the spirit of the LORD: the spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the spirit of counsel and of strength, the spirit of knowledge and of reverence, and it shall make him savour of the fear of the LORD ³ And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes: neither shall rebuke after the hearing of his ears.

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 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.

³ And he said to me, "Thou art my servant O Israel, in whom I will be glorified."

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.

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.

¹⁵ For thus sayeth the high and excellent, even he that dwelleth in everlastingness, whose name is the holy one: I dwell high above and in the sanctuary, and with him also, that is of a contrite and humble spirit: that I may heal a troubled mind, and a contrite heart.

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.

²³ I will raise up to them one only shepherd: even my servant David. He shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

⁸ "'Hear O Joshua thou high priest: thou and thy friends that dwell before thee, for they are wondrous people. Behold, I will bring forth the branch of my servant:

³¹ He that cometh from on high is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth. He that cometh from heaven, is above all:

²² Neither judgeth the father any man: but hath committed all judgment unto the son, 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.

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him on his righthand in heavenly things, ²¹ above all rule, power, and might, and domination, and above all names that are named, not in this world only, but also in the world to come. ²² And hath put all things under his feet, and hath made him above all things, the head of the congregation: ²³ which is his body, and fullness of him, that filleth all in all things.

⁷ Nevertheless, he made himself of no reputation, and took on him the shape of a servant, and became like unto men, and was found in his apparel as a man. ⁸ He humbled himself and became obedient unto the death, even the death of the cross. ⁹ Wherefore God hath exalted him, and given him a name above all names: ¹⁰ That in the name of Jesus should every knee bow, both of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under earth; ¹¹ and that all tongues should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord unto the praise of God the father.

³ Which son, being the brightness of his glory, and very image of his substance, bearing up all things with the word of his power, hath in his own person purged our sins, and is sitten on the righthand of the majesty on high,

⁶ And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the seat and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a lamb as though he had been killed, which had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the spirits of God, sent into all the world. ⁷ And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the seat. ⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and twenty four elders fell down before the lamb, having harps and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints, 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." ¹¹ And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels about the throne, and about the beasts and the elders, and I heard thousand thousands, ¹² saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the lamb that was killed to receive power, and riches and wisdom, and strength, and honour and glory, and blessing." ¹³ And all creatures, which are in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that are in them heard I, saying, "Blessing, honour, glory, and power be unto him that sitteth upon the seat, and unto the lamb for evermore."

⁶ But as for me, I am a worm and no man: a very scorn of men and the outcast of the people. ⁷ All they that see me, laugh me to scorn: they shoot out their lips, and shake their heads.

¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my gums, and thou shalt bring me into the dust of death.

¹⁷ They pierced my hands and my feet; I may tell all my bones. They stand staring and looking upon me.

⁷ I am become as it were a monster unto many, but my sure trust is in thee.

³ For my days are consumed away like smoke, and my bones are burnt up as it were a firebrand. ⁴ My heart is smitten down, and withered like grass, so that I forget to eat my bread. ⁵ For the voice of my groaning, my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh.

⁶ But I offer my back unto the smiters, and my cheeks to the nippers. I turn not my face from shame and spitting,

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.

²⁸ And it came to pass, that when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

²² When they heard that, they marveled, and left him and went their way. ²³ The same day the Sadducees came to him, which say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him,

⁶⁷ Then spat they in his face, and buffeted him with their fists. And others smote him with the palm of their hands on the face,

¹⁴ And he answered him to never a word: insomuch that the deputy marveled greatly.

²⁹ and plaited a crown of thorns and put upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews," ³⁰ and spitted upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.

⁴² And straight the maiden arose, and went on her feet. For she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished at it out of measure.

⁵¹ And he went up unto them into the ship, and the wind ceased, and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

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."

²⁶ And they were astonished out of measure, saying between themselves, "Who then can be saved?"

³² And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem. And Jesus went before them. And they were amazed. And as they followed, were afraid. And Jesus took the twelve again, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him.

⁴⁷ And all that heard him marveled at his wit and answers.

³⁶ And fear came on them all; And they spake among themselves, saying, "What manner a thing is this? For with authority and power he commandeth the foul spirits and they come out."

²⁶ And they were all amazed, and they lauded God, and were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today."

⁶⁴ and blindfolded him, and smote his face. And asked him, saying, "Aread who it is that smote thee?"

⁷ And this do unto them when thou cleansest them: sprinkle water of purifying upon them and make a razor to run along upon all the flesh of them, and let them wash their clothes, and then they shall be clean.

⁹ when the princes left of their talking, and laid their hand to their mouth; ¹⁰ when the mighty kept still their voice, and when their tongues cleaved to the roof of their mouths;

⁴ "Behold, I am too vile a person to answer thee, therefore will I lay my hand upon my mouth.

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. ¹¹ All kings shall fall down before him; all nations shall do him service.

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.

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.

⁵ Lo, thou shalt call an unknown people: and a people that had no knowledge of thee, shall run unto thee, because of the LORD thy God, the holy one of Israel which glorifieth thee.

²⁵ And I will pour pure water upon you, and ye shall be cleansed from all uncleanness, and from all your idols. I will cleanse you.

¹⁶ This shall the Heathen see, and be ashamed for all their power: so that they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, and stop their ears. ¹⁷ They shall lick the dust like a serpent, as the worms of the earth, that tremble in their holes. They shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and they shall fear thee.

¹³ Let all flesh hold their peace before the LORD: for he is risen out of his holy temple.

¹⁹ Go therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy ghost;

³³ Since now that he by the righthand of God exalted is, and hath received of the father the promise of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth that which ye now see and hear.

²⁰ So have I enforced myself to preach the gospel: not where Christ was named, lest I should have built on another man's foundation, ²¹ but as it is written, "To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that heard not, shall understand."

²⁵ To him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel and preaching of Jesus Christ, in uttering of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began, 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:

⁵ which mystery in times past was not opened unto the sons of men as it is now declared unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit: ⁶ That the gentiles should be inheritors also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise that is in Christ, by the means of the gospel, ⁷ whereof I am made a minister, by the gift of the grace of God given unto me, through the working of his power. ⁸ Unto me, the least of all saints, is this grace given; that I should preach among the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, ⁹ and to make all men see what the fellowship of the mystery is, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, which made all things through Jesus Christ,

⁵ not of the deeds of righteousness which we wrought, but of his mercy, he saved us, by the fountain of the new birth, and with the renewing of the holy ghost, ⁶ which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our saviour;

¹³ For if the blood of oxen, and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer, when it was sprinkled, purified the unclean, as touching the purifying of the flesh: ¹⁴ How much more shall the blood of Christ — which through the eternal spirit, offered himself without spot to God — purge your consciences from dead works, for to serve the living God?

²² let us draw nigh with a true heart in a full faith sprinkled in our hearts, from an evil conscience, and washed in our bodies with pure water,

²⁸ Through faith he ordained the Easter lamb, and the effusion of blood, lest he that destroyed the first born should touch them.

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

² Elect by the foreknowledge of God the father, through the sanctifying of the spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace be with you, and peace be multiplied.
