⁹ They that dwell in the cities of Israel, shall go forth and set fire upon the weapons, and burn them: shields and spears, bows and arrows, bills and clubs: ¹⁰ seven years shall they be burning thereof, so that they shall else bring no sticks from the field, neither have need to hew down any out of the wood: For they shall have weapons now to burn. They shall rob those that robbed them, and spoil those that spoiled them, sayeth the LORD God.

⁷ For the spoiler of the Gentiles is broken up from his place, as a lion out of his den, that he may make the land waste, and destroy the cities, so that no man may dwell therein.

¹ But mourn thou for the princes of Israel, ² and say, "Wherefore lay thy mother, that lioness, among the lions, and nourished her young ones among the lion's whelps? ³ One of her whelps she brought up, and it became a lion: it learned to spoil, and to devour folk. ⁴ The heathen heard of him, and took him in their nets, and brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

⁶ Which went among the lions, and became a fierce lion: learned to spoil, and to devour folk:

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?'

⁴ The first was as a Lion, and yet had he Eagle's wings. I saw, that his wings were plucked from him, and he taken away from the earth: that he stood upon his feet as a man, and that there was given him a man's heart. ⁵ Behold, the second beast was like a Bear, and stood upon the one side. Among his teeth in his mouth he had three great long teeth, and it was said unto him, 'Arise, eat up, much flesh.' ⁶ Then I looked, and behold, there was another like unto a leopard: this had wings as a fowl, even four upon the back. This beast had four heads, and there was power given him. ⁷ After this I saw in a vision by night, and behold, the fourth beast was grim and horrible, and marvelous strong. It had great iron teeth, it devoured and destroyed, and stamped the residue under feet. It was far unlike the other beasts that were before it: for it had ten horns, whereof I took good heed. ⁸ And behold, there came up among them, another like horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked away. Behold, this horn had eyes like a man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things.

¹⁷ 'These four great beasts, are four kings which shall arise out of the earth. ¹⁸ But the high saints shall receive a kingdom, and possess a kingdom, forever: even for ever and ever.' ¹⁹ After this, I required diligently to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was so far unlike the other beasts, and so horrible: whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass: which devoured and destroyed, and stamped the residue under his feet. ²⁰ I desired also to know the truth, as touching the ten horns that he had upon his head, and this other which came up afterward, before whose face there fell down three: which horn had eyes and a mouth that spake presumptuous things, and looked with a grimmer visage than his fellows. ²¹ I beheld, and the same horn made battle against the saints - yea, and gat the victory of them - ²² till the time that the Ancient of Days came, that the judgment was given to the chiefest saints; and till the time that the saints had the kingdom in possession. ²³ He gave me this answer, 'That fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth: it shall be more than all other kingdoms, it shall devour, tread down, and destroy all other lands. ²⁴ The ten horns, are ten kings that shall arise out of that kingdom, after whom there shall stand up another, which shall be greater than the first. ²⁵ He shall subdue three kings, and shall speak words against the highest of all: he shall destroy the saints of the most highest, and think that he may change times and laws. They shall be given under his power, until a time, two times, and a half a time. ²⁶ But the judgment shall be kept, so that his power shall be taken from him: for he shall be destroyed, and perish at the last. ²⁷ As for the kingdom, power, and all might that is under the heaven: it shall be given to the holy people of the most highest, whose kingdom is everlasting. Yea, all powers shall serve and obey him.' ²⁸ Thus far extend the words. Nevertheless, I Daniel was so vexed in my thoughts, that my countenance changed, but the words I kept still in my heart."

¹⁰ Then arm thyself with thine own power! Up, deck thee in thy jolly array, 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,

³ Consider, and hear me, O LORD my God. Lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death,

⁸ Assyria also shall be slain with the sword: not with a man's sword, neither shall the sword of any man devour him. And he shall flee from the slaughter, and his servants shall be taken prisoners.

³⁶ Thus the angel went forth, and slew of the Assyrians host, a hundred and eighty five thousand. And when men arose up early, at Jerusalem: Behold, all lay full of dead bodies.

¹² Hear me, O ye that are of a high stomach, but far from righteousness:

³⁹ In their heat I shall set drink before them, and they shall be drunken for joy: Then shall they sleep an everlasting sleep, and never wake, sayeth the LORD.

²¹ "Behold, thou son of man, I will brake the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt: and lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, neither shall any plaster be laid upon it, for to ease it, or to make it so strong as to hold a sword. ²² Therefore, thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I will upon Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and bruise his strong arm - yet is it but a broken one - and will smite the sword out of his hand. ²³ As for the Egyptians, I will scatter them among the Heathen, and straw them in the lands about. ²⁴ Again I will strengthen the arm of the king of Babylon, and give him my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arm, so that he shall hold it before him piteously, like a wounded man. ²⁵ Yea I will establish the king of Babylon's arm, and the armies of Pharaoh shall fall down: that it may be known that I am the LORD, which give the king of Babylon my sword in his hand, that he may draw it out upon the land of Egypt.

³⁷ Then did I, Nebuchadnezzar, love, magnify and praise the King of heaven: for all his works are true, and his ways right. As for those that go on proudly, he is able to bring them down.

¹⁸ Thy shepherds are asleep, O king of Assyria, thy worthies are laid down: thy people is scattered abroad upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them together again.

⁵¹ He showeth strength with his arm, he scattereth them that are proud in the imagination of their hearts. ⁵² He putteth Down the mighty from their seats, and hath exalted them of low degree.

²⁷ Then stretched forth Moses his hand over the sea, and it came again to his course early in the morning, and the Egyptians fled against it. Thus the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea, ²⁸ and the water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen: so that of all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them, there remained not one.

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!

⁴ Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea. His jolly captains are drowned in the reed sea; ⁵ the deep waters have covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone. ⁶ Thine hand, LORD, is glorious in power, thine hand, LORD, hath all to dashed the enemy.

¹⁰ Thou blewest with thy breath and the sea covered them, and they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

²¹ And Miriam sang before them, "Sing ye unto the LORD, for he is become glorious indeed! The horse and his rider hath he overthrown in the sea!"

¹² And David took the spear and the cruse of water that were at Saul's head, and they gat them away, and no man saw or wist it or awoke. For they were all asleep, because the LORD had sent a slumber upon them.

¹⁸ Howbeit, the Syrians fled before Israel. And David destroyed seven hundred chariots of them and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of his host, that he there died.

¹⁵ The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered at thy chiding, O LORD, at the blasting of the breath of thy displeasures. {TYNDALE: And the bottom of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were seen, by the reason of the rebuking of the LORD, and through the blasting of the breath of his nostrils.}

¹⁶ It is burnt with fire, and cut down; O let them perish at the rebuke of thy wrath.

⁷ But at thy rebuke they flee, at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid.

⁵⁷ Yea, sayeth the LORD, I will make their princes, their wise men, their chief rulers and all their worthies, drunken: so that they shall sleep an everlasting sleep and never wake. Thus sayeth the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.

²⁰ Fill you at my table, with horses and strong horsemen: with captains and all men of war, sayeth the LORD God.'

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.

¹³ Behold, I will upon thee, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, and will set fire upon thy chariots that they shall smoke withal, and the sword shall devour thy young lions. I will make an end of thy spoiling from out of the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.

⁴ In that day, sayeth the LORD, I will make all horses abashed, and those that ride upon them to be out of their wits. I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and smite all the horses of the people with blindness.

²⁵ For great is the LORD and to be praised exceedingly: and terrible is he above all Gods.

¹⁵ O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous, for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day. Behold, in thy presence are we in our trespass: for because of it is there no standing before thee."

¹² Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and so ye perish from the right way. For his wrath shall be kindled shortly: blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

⁷ God is greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

¹¹ But who regardeth the power of thy wrath? For even thereafter as a man feareth, so is thy displeasure.

³ If thou, LORD wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O LORD who may abide it?

⁷ Who would not fear thee? Or what King of the Gentiles would not obey thee? For among all the wise men of the Gentiles, and in all their kingdoms, there is none that may be likened unto thee. ⁸ They are altogether unlearned and unwise. All their cunning is but vanity: ⁹ namely, wood; silver, which is brought out of Tarshish, and beaten to plates; and gold from Ophir, a work that is made with the hand of the craftsman and the caster, clothed with yellow silk and scarlet: even so is the work of their wise men altogether. ¹⁰ But the LORD is a true God, a living God, and an everlasting king. If he be wroth, the earth shaketh: all the Gentiles may not abide his indignation.

²⁸ And fear ye not them which kill the body, and be not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body into hell.

²² Either, shall we provoke the Lord? Or are we stronger than he?

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 saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give honour to him, for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him, that made heaven and earth, and the sea, and fountains of water."

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."

¹⁰ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go unto the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes:

²⁰ From heaven came battle: for the stars, being in their course, fought against Sisera.

³⁰ All the earth fear him: he established the earth that it cannot move.

²⁹ And the fear of God fell in the kingdoms of all lands, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel. ³⁰ And so the realm of Jehoshaphat was in tranquility: for his God had given him rest on every side.

²⁰ But Hezekiah the king and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz prayed concerning the thing and cried up to heaven. ²¹ And the LORD sent an angel and destroyed all the men of war and the lords and captains of the host of the king of Assyria, that he turned his face, with shame, towards his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, he was there overthrown with the sword - even by them that issued out of his bowels. ²² And so the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabiters at Jerusalem out of the hands of Sennacherib king of Assyria and of all others, and maintained them on all sides -

¹⁰ "Be still then, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the Heathen, I will be exalted upon earth."

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: ²¹ I will call for a sword upon them in all my mountains, sayeth the LORD God: so that every man's sword shall be upon another. ²² With pestilence and blood will I punish him: stormy rain and hail stones, fire and brimstone, will I cause to rain upon him and all his heap, yea and upon all that great people that is with him. ²³ Thus will I be magnified, honored, and known among the Heathen: that they may be sure how that I am the LORD.'"

²⁰ But the LORD in his holy temple is he, whom all the world should fear.

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

⁷ But the LORD shall endure forever; he hath also prepared his seat for judgment. ⁸ For he shall judge the world in righteousness, and minister true judgment unto the people. ⁹ The LORD also will be a defense for the oppressed, even a refuge in due time of trouble.

⁹ Them that are meek shall he guide in judgment; and such as are gentle, them shall he learn his way.

⁴ He shall keep the simple folk by their right, defend the children of the poor, and punish the wrongdoer.

² How long will ye give wrong judgment, and accept the persons of the ungodly? Selah. ³ Defend the poor and fatherless, see that such as be in need and necessity have right. ⁴ Deliver the outcast and poor, and save them from the hand of the ungodly. ⁵ They will not be learned nor understand, but walk on still in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

⁴ For the LORD hath pleasure in his people, and helpeth the meek hearted.

⁴ But he shall judge the causes of the poor with righteousness, and shall rebuke with equity for the humble of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall slay the wicked.

²⁸ hereof are they fat and wealthy, and are run away from me with shameful blasphemies. They minister not the law, they make no end of the fatherless cause, they judge not the poor according to equity.

³ Yea, or the day of the LORD's sore displeasure come upon you. Seek the LORD, all ye meek hearted upon earth, ye that work after his judgment: seek righteousness, seek lowliness, that ye may be defended in the wrathful day of the LORD.

⁵ Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

⁴ but let the hid man of the heart be uncorrupt, with a meek and a quiet spirit, which spirit is, before God, a thing much set by.

¹⁸ And when they saw him afar off before he came at them, they took counsel against him, for to slay him, ¹⁹ and said one to another, "Behold, this dreamer cometh; ²⁰ come now and let us slay him and cast him into some pit, and let us say that some wicked beast hath devoured him, and let us see what his dreams will come to."

²⁶ Then said Judah to his brethren, "What availeth it that we slay our brother, and keep his blood secret? ²⁷ Come on, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hands be defiled upon him: for he is our brother and our flesh." And his brethren were content. ²⁸ Then as the Midianites merchant men passed by, they drew Joseph out of the pit and sold him unto the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought him into Egypt.

²⁰ Ye thought evil unto me: but God turned it unto good to bring to pass, as it is this day, even to save much people alive.

¹⁶ Yet in very deed for this cause have I stirred thee up, for to show my power in thee, and to declare my name throughout all the world. ¹⁷ If it be so that thou stoppest my people, that thou wilt not let them go:

⁹ The enemy said, 'I will follow and overtake them, and will divide the spoil: I will satisfy my lust upon them: I will draw my sword, and mine hand shall destroy them.' ¹⁰ Thou blewest with thy breath and the sea covered them, and they sank as lead in the mighty waters. ¹¹ Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among gods? Who is like thee, so glorious in holiness, fearful, laudable and that showest wonders?

¹¹ Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods, for because that they dealt proudly with them."

⁶ The heathen make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved; but God hath showed his voice, and the earth shall melt away.

⁷ who stilleth the raging of the sea, the roaring of his waves, and the madness of the people.

⁹ Thou hast set them their bounds, which they may not pass, that they turn not again to cover the earth.

¹⁹ Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of indignation, so that the countenance of his face changed upon Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Therefore he charged and commanded, that the oven should be made seven times hotter, than it was wont to be: ²⁰ and spake unto the strongest worthies that were in his house, for to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them in to the hot burning oven.

¹³ When they were departed, Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream saying,. "Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt, and abide there till I bring thee word: For Herod will seek the child to destroy him." ¹⁴ Then he arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt; ¹⁵ and was there unto the death of Herod: to fulfill that which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, which sayeth, "Out of Egypt have I called my son." ¹⁶ Then Herod, perceiving that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, as many as were two years old and under according to the time which he had diligently searched out of the wise men.

²² Yea, and except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: But for the chosens' sake, those days shall be shortened.

²⁶ The kings of the earth stood up and the rulers came together against the Lord, and against his Christ.' ²⁷ For of a truth, against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and also Pontius Pilate with the gentiles, and the people of Israel, gathered themselves together: ²⁸ for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

³ and because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further, and took Peter also. Then were the days of sweetbread. ⁴ And when he had caught him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to be kept, intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. ⁵ Then was Peter kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing of the congregation unto God for him. ⁶ And when Herod would have brought him out unto the people, the same night slept Peter between two soldiers, bound with two chains; And the keepers before the door kept the prison. ⁷ And behold, the angel of the Lord was there present, and a light shined in the lodge. And he smote Peter on the side, and stirred him up, saying, "Arise up quickly." And his chains fell off from his hands. ⁸ And the angel said unto him, "Gird thyself and bind on thy sandals." And so he did. And he said unto him, "Cast on thy mantle about thee, and follow me." ⁹ And he came out, and followed him: and wist not that it was truth which was done by the angel; but thought he had seen a vision. ¹⁰ When they were past the first and the second watch, they came unto the iron gate, that leadeth unto the city, which opened to them by his own accord. And they went out and passed through one street, and by and by the angel departed from him. ¹¹ And when Peter was come to himself, he said, "Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the waiting for of the people of the Jews." ¹² And as he considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of one John, which was called Mark also, where many were gathered together in prayer. ¹³ As Peter knocked at the entry door, a damsel came forth to hearken, named Rhoda. ¹⁴ And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the entry for gladness, but ran in and told how Peter stood before the entry. ¹⁵ And they said unto her, "Thou art mad." And she bare them down that it was even so. Then said they, "It is his angel." ¹⁶ Peter continued knocking: When they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished. ¹⁷ And he beckoned unto them with the hand to hold their peace, and told them by what means the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, "Go show these things unto James and to the brethren." And he departed and went into another place. ¹⁸ As soon as it was day there was no little ado among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. ¹⁹ When Herod had called for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded them to depart. And he descended from Jewry to Caesarea, and there abode.

¹⁷ For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, "Even for this same purpose have I stirred thee up, to show my power on thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the world."

¹⁸ And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead; that they should be judged and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets and saints, and to them that fear thy name, small and great, and shouldest destroy them, which destroy the earth."

⁴² And except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the God whom Isaac feareth, had been with me: surely thou hadst sent me away now all empty. But God beheld my tribulation, and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday."

² If a man vow a vow unto the LORD or swear an oath and bind his soul, he shall not go back with his word: but shall fulfill all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

¹⁶ Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose: In the feast of sweet bread, in the feast of weeks and in the feast of the tabernacles. And they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

²² And so the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabiters at Jerusalem out of the hands of Sennacherib king of Assyria and of all others, and maintained them on all sides - ²³ Insomuch that many brought presents unto the LORD to Jerusalem and precious gifts to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.

¹⁴ Offer unto God thanksgiving, and pay thy vows unto the most highest.

²⁹ for thy temple's sake at Jerusalem; so shall kings bring presents unto thee.

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and am steadfastly purposed, to keep thy righteous judgments.

⁴ If thou make a vow unto God, be not slack to perform it. As for foolish vows, he hath no pleasure in them. ⁵ If thou promise anything, pay it; for better it is that thou make no vow than that thou shouldest promise, and not pay. ⁶ Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh for to sin, neither say thou before the angel that it is thy ignorance. For then God will be angry at thy voice, and destroy all the works of thine hands.

¹ And when all the kings of the Amorites which dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Cananites which lie on the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the water of Jordan before the children of Israel, until they were over, their hearts fainted in them. And there was no spirit in them any more, for fear of the coming of the children of Israel.

⁵ Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure,

¹⁰ Be wise now therefore, O ye kings; be warned, ye that are judges of the earth.

² For the LORD is high, and to be feared; he is the great King upon all the earth.

⁴ For lo, the kings of the earth were gathered, and gone by together. ⁵ They marveled, to see such things: they were astonished, and suddenly cast down. ⁶ Fear came there upon them, and sorrow as upon a woman in her travail.

¹² Kings with their armies did flee, and were discomfited; and they of the household divided the spoil.

³⁵ O God, wonderful art thou in thy holy places, even the God of Israel; he will give strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

⁶ Mourn therefore, for the day of the LORD is at hand, and cometh as a destroyer from the Almighty. ⁷ Then shall all hands be letten down, and all men's hearts shall melt away; ⁸ they shall stand in fear, carefulness and sorrow shall come upon them, and they shall have pain, as a woman that travaileth with child. One shall ever be abashed of another, and their faces shall burn like the flame.

²¹ At in that day shall the LORD muster together the high host above, and the kings of the world upon the earth.

⁶ Therefore will I root out this people, and destroy their towers: yea, and make their streets so void, that no man shall go therein. Their cities shall be broken down, so that no body shall be left, nor dwell there any more.

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,

¹⁷ And I saw an angel stand in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly by the midst of heaven, "Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God, ¹⁸ that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and of high captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all free men and bond men, and of small and great." ¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their warriors gathered together to make battle against him that sat on the horse and against his soldiers. ²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him that false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that received the beast's mark, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast into a pond of fire burning with brimstone: ²¹ and the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth, and all the fowls were fulfilled with their flesh.
