²³ And their children multipliedest thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land whereof thou hadst spoken unto their fathers, that they should go in to it, and have it in possession. ²⁴ And the children went in, and possessed the land, and thou subduedest before them the inhabiters of the land, even the Cananites, and gavest them into their hand, and their kings and the people of the land, that they might do with them what they would.

²⁴ And the children went in, and possessed the land, and thou subduedest before them the inhabiters of the land, even the Cananites, and gavest them into their hand, and their kings and the people of the land, that they might do with them what they would. ²⁵ And they won their strong cities, and a fat land, and took possession of houses that were full of all manner goods, wells digged out, vineyards, olive gardens, and many fruitful trees: and they ate and were filled, and became fat, and lived in wealth through thy great goodness. 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. ²⁸ But when they came to rest, they turned back again to do evil before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them. So they converted, and cried unto thee, and thou heardest them from heaven; and many times hast thou delivered them according to thy great mercy, ²⁹ and testified unto them, that they should turn again unto thy law. Notwithstanding, they were proud, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned in thy laws, which a man should do and live in them, and turned the shoulder away, and were stiff-necked, and would not hear. ³⁰ And many years didst thou forbear them, and testified unto them through thy spirit, even by the office of thy prophets, and yet would they not hear. Therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the nations in the lands.

¹⁹ He leadeth away the priests into captivity, and turneth the mighty upside down. ²⁰ He taketh the verity from out of the mouth, and disappointeth the aged of their wisdom. ²¹ He poureth out confusion upon princes, and comforteth them that have been oppressed.

⁷ His presumptuous goings shall be kept in, and his own counsel shall cast him down. ⁸ For his feet shall be taken in the net, and he is at his wits end. ⁹ His foot shall be holden in the gilder, and the thirsty shall catch him. ¹⁰ The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a pitfall in the way. ¹¹ "Fearfulness shall make him afraid on every side, that he shall not know where to get out. ¹² Hunger shall be his substance, and misfortune shall hang upon him.

¹¹ pour out thy indignation of thy wrath; see that thou cast down all the proud, ¹² look well, that thou makest all such as be stubburn, to obey; tread all the ungodly under thy feet,

⁷ Arise, LORD, and help me, O my God: for thou smitest all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

⁶ Stand up, O LORD, in thy wrath, lift up thyself, because of the indignation of mine enemies; arise up for me in the judgment that thou hast commanded.

³⁹ Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; thou hast thrown them all down under me, that rose up against me. {TYNDALE: And thou compassedest me about with might to battle, and madest them that rose against me to stoop under me.}

⁴⁷ Even the God that seeth that I be avenged, and subdueth the people unto me. {TYNDALE: It is God that avengeth me, and bringeth down the people under me.}

³⁵ I myself have seen the ungodly in great power, and flourishing like a green bay-tree. ³⁶ But when I went by, lo, he was gone; I sought him, but his place could nowhere be found.

³ He shall subdue the people under us, and the Heathen under our feet.

¹⁵ And call upon me in the time of trouble; so will I hear thee, and thou shalt praise me."

⁷ O God, when thou wentest forth before the people, when thou wentest through the wilderness, Selah, ⁸ the earth shook, and the heavens dropped at the presence of God, even as Sinai also was moved at the presence of God, who is the God of Israel.

²² Let their table be made a snare to take themselves withal; and let the things that should have been for their wealth be unto them an occasion of falling.

³⁴ When he slew them, they sought him, and turned them early, and inquired after God.

¹⁴ I should soon have put down their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

⁹ But do thou to them as unto the Midianites, unto Sisera, and unto Jabin by the brook of Kishon,

⁹ But do thou to them as unto the Midianites, unto Sisera, and unto Jabin by the brook of Kishon, ¹⁰ who perished at Endor, and became as the dung of the earth.

¹² Thou hast made the north and the south, Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

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!

⁴² Their enemies oppressed them, and had them in subjection. ⁴³ Many a time did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their own inventions, and were brought down in their wickedness. ⁴⁴ Nevertheless, when he saw their adversity, he heard their complaint. ⁴⁵ He thought upon his covenant, and pitied them, according unto the multitude of his mercies;

⁴⁰ though he suffer them to be evil-entreated through tyrants, or let them wander out of the way in the wilderness,

²³ After pride cometh a fall; but a lowly spirit bringeth great worship.

² Lift up the banner upon the high hill, call unto them; hold up your hand, that the princes may go in at the door. ³ For I will send for my deputies and my giants, sayeth the LORD, and in my wrath I will call for such as triumph in my glory. ⁴ There is a noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people, a rushing as though the kingdoms of all nations had come together. And the LORD of Hosts mustereth his army to battle. ⁵ They come not only out of far countries, but also from the ends of the heavens: Even the LORD himself with the ministers of his wrath, to destroy the whole land.

¹⁷ When the thirsty and poor seek water, and find none, and when their tongue is dry of thirst: I give it them, sayeth the LORD. I, the God of Israel, forsake them not.

¹⁷ Which bringeth forth the chariots and horses, the host and the power, that they may fall asleep and never rise, and be extinct, like as towe is quenched:

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.

¹² But ye shall not go out with sedition nor make haste as they that flee away: for the LORD shall go before you, and the God of Israel shall keep the watch.

²¹ Even so the wicked have no peace, sayeth my God.

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!' ²⁸ I shall answer them: Where are now thy gods, that thou hast made thee? Bid them stand up, and help thee in the time of need! For look how many cities thou hast, O Judah: so many gods hast thou also.

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.

¹⁵ Thus sayeth the LORD, "The voice of heaviness, weeping and lamentation was heard on the hills; even of Rachel mourning for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not."

¹⁸ As truly as I live, sayeth the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts, it shall come as the mount of Tabor, and as Lebanon if it stood in the sea.

¹⁰ Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD God: At the same time shall many things come into thy mind, so that thou shalt imagine mischief, ¹¹ and say, 'I will up to yonder plain land, seeing they sit at ease, and dwell so safely - for they dwell all without any walls, they have neither bars nor doors - ¹² to spoil them, to rob them, to lay hand upon their so well inhabited wildernesses: against that people, that is gathered together from among the Heathen, which have gotten cattle and good, and dwell in the midst of the land.' ¹³ Then shall Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish with all their worthies, say unto thee, 'Art thou come to rob? Hast thou gathered thy people together, because thou wilt spoil? To take silver and gold; to carry away cattle and goods; and to have a great prey?' ¹⁴ "Therefore, O thou son of man, thou shalt prophesy, and say unto Gog, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: In that day thou shalt know, that my people of Israel dwelleth safe: ¹⁵ and shalt come from thy place out of the north parts: thou and much people with thee, which ride upon horses, whereof there is a great multitude and an innumerable sortie. ¹⁶ Yea, thou shalt come upon my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. This shall come to pass in the latter days: I will bring thee up into my land, that the Heathen may know me, when I get me honour upon thee; O Gog, before their eyes.

¹ O ye priests, hear this; take heed, O thou household of Israel; give ear, O thou kingly house. For this punishment will come upon you, that are become a snare unto Mizphah, and a spread net unto the mount of Tabor.

²⁸ After this, will I pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. ²⁹ Yea, in those days I will pour out my spirit upon servants and maidens.

¹¹ Muster you, and come, all ye Heathen round about. Gather you together, there shall the LORD lay all thy giants to the ground. ¹² Let the people arise, and get them to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit, and judge all Heathen round about. ¹³ Lay to your scythes, for the harvest is ripe. Come, get you down: the winepress is full, yea the winepresses run over, for their wickedness is waxen great. ¹⁴ In the valley appointed, there shall be many, many people: for the day of the LORD is nigh in the valley appointed.

¹⁹ Yea, like as when a man runneth from a lion, and a bear meeteth with him; or when he cometh into the house, and leaneth his hand upon the wall, a serpent biteth him. ²⁰ Shall not the day of the LORD be dark, and not clear? Shall it not be cloudy, and no shine in it?

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.

⁴ Because I brought thee from the land of Egypt, and delivered thee out of the house of bondage? Because I made Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to lead thee?

³⁰ But when he saw a mighty wind, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried, saying, "Master save me." ³¹ And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, "O thou of little faith: wherefore didst thou doubt?"

²⁵ Whom, because he had nought to pay, his Master commanded him to be sold: and his wife, and his children, and all that he had; and payment to be made.

³⁶ And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher: which was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity.

⁷ And there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. And Jesus said unto her, "Give me drink" -

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.'"

⁹ The same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

¹² But whosoever hath sinned without law, shall perish without law. And as many as have sinned under the law, shall be judged by the law.

¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent."

²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise. And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound things which are mighty.

⁵ Every woman that prayeth or prophesieth bare-headed, dishonesteth her head. For it is even all one and the very same thing, even as though she were shaven.

²⁸ When all things are subdued unto him: then shall the son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all things.

²⁸ Now is there no Jew, neither gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither man nor woman: but ye are all one thing in Christ Jesus.

³² And what shall I more say? The time would be too short for me to tell of Gideon, of Barach, and of Samson, and of Jephthah. Also of David and Samuel, and of the prophets, ³³ which through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained the promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

¹³ For there shall be judgment, merciless, to him that showeth no mercy, and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
