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.'

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?"

²³ But thou Sennacherib, whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? And against whom hast thou lifted up thy voice, and exalted thy proud looks? Even against the holy one of Israel.

¹⁰ O mother, alas that ever thou didst bear me, an enemy and hated of the whole land: Though I never lent nor received upon usury, yet all men speak evil upon me.

¹ Now will I sing my beloved friend a song of his vineyard. My beloved friend hath a vineyard in a very fruitful plenteous ground. ² This he hedged, this he walled round about, and planted it with goodly grapes. In the midst of it builded he a tower, and made a wine press therein. And afterward when he looked that it should bring him grapes, it brought forth thorns. ³ I show you now my cause, O ye Citizens of Jerusalem and whole Judah: Judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. ⁴ What more could have been done for it, that I have not done? Wherefore than hath it given thorns, where I looked to have had grapes of it? ⁵ Well, now I shall tell you how I will do with my vineyard: I will take the hedge from it, that it may perish, and break down the wall, that it may be trodden under foot. ⁶ I will lay it waste, that it shall neither be twisted nor cut, but bear thorns and briers. I will also forbid the clouds, that they shall not rain upon it. ⁷ As for the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts, it is the house of Israel, and whole Judah his fair planting. Of these he looked for equity, but see there is wrong; for righteousness, lo, it is but misery.

² At the same time shall men sing of the vineyard of Muscatel. ³ I the LORD keep it, and water it in due season. I watch day and night, that no man break into it.

⁶ Then did it grow, and was a great vine stock, but low by the ground: thus there came of it a vine, and it brought forth blossoms, and spread out branches.

¹⁰ "As for thy mother, she is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waterside: her fruits and branches are grown out of many waters,

³³ "Hearken another similitude. There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and made a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange country: ³⁴ And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it, ³⁵ and the husbandmen caught his servants, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. ³⁶ Again, he sent other servants more than the first, and they served them likewise. ³⁷ But last of all, he sent unto them his own son, saying, 'They will fear my son.' ³⁸ But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir: come on, let us kill him, and let us take his inheritance, to ourselves.' ³⁹ And they caught him, and thrust him out of the vineyard, and slew him. ⁴⁰ When the Lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do with those husbandmen?" ⁴¹ They said unto him, He will cruelly destroy those evil persons; and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall deliver him the fruit at times convenient.

¹ I am the true vine, and my father is a husbandman. ² Every branch that beareth not fruit in me, he will take away. And every branch that beareth fruit will he purge, that it may bring more fruit. ³ Now are ye clean, through the words which I have spoken unto you. ⁴ Abide in me, and let me abide in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine: no more can ye, except ye abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. For without me can ye do nothing. ⁶ If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered: and men gather it and cast it into the fire, and it burneth. ⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words also abide in you: ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you. ⁸ Herein is my father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and be made my disciples.

⁴⁵ which tabernacle our fathers received, and brought it in with Joshua into the possession of the gentiles, which gentiles God drave out before the face of our fathers unto the time of David,

²⁸ and I will send hornets before thee, and they shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites and the Hittites before thee. ²⁹ I will not cast them out in one year, lest the land grow to a wilderness: and the beasts of the field multiply upon thee. ³⁰ But a little and a little I will drive them out before thee, until thou be increased that thou mayest inherit the land.

¹³ be sure that the LORD your God will not cast out all these nations before you. But they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges for your sides, and pricks in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you. 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

¹² And I sent hornets before you and ye cast out before you: even the two kings of the Amorites: but not with your own sword or with your own bow.

²⁰ And Judah and Israel were many, even as the sand of the sea in number, eating, drinking, and making merry.

²⁵ And Judah and Israel dwelt without fear, every man under his vine and under his fig tree from Dan to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

⁵ and gave the number of the count of the people unto David. And all Israel were in number a thousand, thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.

²³ But David took not the number of them under twenty years: for the LORD said he would increase Israel like unto the stars of the sky. ²⁴ And Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number. And though he finished it not, yet there fell wrath for that upon Israel. And therefore the number was not put in the chronicles of king David.

²² And thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and partest them according to their portions, so that they possessed the land of Sihon king of Heshbon, and the land of Og the king of Bashan. 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. 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.

⁴⁴ and gave them the lands of the Heathen; where they took the labours of the people in possession,

⁶ It will come to this point, that Jacob shall be rooted again, and Israel shall be green, and bear flowers, and they shall fill the whole world with their fruit.

³¹ And such of the house of Judah as are escaped, shall come together, and the remnant shall take root beneath, and bring forth fruit above.

² Thou plantest them, they take root, they grow, and bring forth fruit. They boast much of thee, yet doest thou not punish them.

¹⁶ The trees of the LORD also are full of sap, even the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted,

¹⁸ And that same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "Unto thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt, even unto the great river Euphrates:

³¹ And I will make thy coasts from the reed sea unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river. I will deliver the inhabiters of the land into thine hand, and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

²¹ And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river throughout all the land of the Philistines unto the borders of Egypt, and they brought presents and served Solomon all days of his life.

²⁴ For he ruled in all the regions on the other side Euphrates from Tiphsah to Gaza and also over all the kings on the other side the said Euphrates. And he had peace with all his servants on every side.

³ And David beat Hadadezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to bring his dominion unto the river Euphrates.

⁸ His dominion shall be from the one sea to the other, and from the flood unto the world's end.

⁴⁰ Thou hast overthrown all his hedges, and broken down his strongholds. ⁴¹ All they that go by, spoil him; he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

⁵ For before the harvest, when the branch is grown, there shall come ripe fruit out of the flower: and he shall cut down the increase with the scythes, and the branches shall he take away with hooks. ⁶ Thus shall they be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: for in summer the birds shall remain upon it, and every beast of the land shall winter there.

² for the LORD shall restore again the glory of Jacob, like as the glory of Israel. The destroyers have broken them down, and marred the wine branches.

¹⁶ He will come and destroy those farmers, and will let out his vineyard to others." When they heard that, they said, "God forbid."

¹ In the third year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, reigned Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah. ² Twenty five years old was he, when he began to reign, and reigned twenty nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zachariah, ³ and he did that pleased the LORD in all things, like to David his father. ⁴ He put away the hill altars, and brake the images and cut down the groves, and all to brake the brazen serpent that Moses made — for unto those days the children of Israel did burn sacrifice to it, and called it Nehushtan. ⁵ He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, so that after him came none like him among all the kings of Judah, neither among them that went before him. ⁶ He clave to the LORD and departed not from him, but kept his commandments which the LORD commanded Moses. ⁷ And the LORD was with him. And whatsoever he took in hand he did it wisely. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria and served him not. ⁸ He beat the Philistines even unto Gaza and the coasts thereof, both in castles of garrisons and strong cities too. ⁹ And the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, came Shalmaneser king of Assyria upon Samaria and besieged it. ¹⁰ And they took it at the end of three years, which was the sixth of Hezekiah: that is to say the ninth year of Hosea king of Israel, was Samaria won. ¹¹ And the king of Assiria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor on the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes: ¹² because they would not hearken unto the voice of the LORD their God. But transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would neither hear nor do. ¹³ The fourteenth year of king Hezekiah came Sennacherib king of Assyria against all the strong cities of Judah and took them. ¹⁴ Whereupon Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, "I have offended. But depart from me, and what thou puttest on me that I will bear." And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. ¹⁵ And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD and also in the treasure of the king's house. ¹⁶ And the said season Hezekiah rent off the doors of the temple of the LORD and the pillars, which the said Hezekiah king of Judah covered over, and gave them to the king of Assyria. ¹⁷ And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh, from Lachish, to king Hezekiah with a great Host to Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and went and stood by the conduit of the uppermost pool, which is in the way to the fuller's field, ¹⁸ and called to the king. And there came out to them, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah steward of household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder. ¹⁹ And then Rabshakeh said unto them, "Tell ye Hezekiah, I pray you, 'Thus sayeth the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this that thou hast?

¹ In his days came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years, and then turned and rebelled against him. ² And the LORD sent upon him men of war out of Chaldea, out of Syria, out of the Moabites, and from the children of Ammon: and sent them into Judah to destroy it, according to the saying of the LORD which he spake by his servants the Prophets. ³ Only at the bidding of the LORD happened it so to Judah, to put them out of his sight, for the sin of Manasseh according to all he did: ⁴ and for the innocent blood that he shed and filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, which the LORD would not forgive. ⁵ The rest of the deeds of Jehoiakim and all he did, are written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. ⁶ And Jehoiakim laid him to sleep with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. ⁷ But the king of Egypt came now no more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt. ⁸ Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. ⁹ And he did that displeased the eyes of the LORD in all points as his father did. ¹⁰ In his time came the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Jerusalem and the city was besieged. ¹¹ And Nebuchadnezzar came to the city as his servants were yet a besieging of it. ¹² And Jehoiachin the king of Judah came out to the king of Babylon, with his mother, his servants, his lords and his chamberlains. And the king of Babylon took him, in the eighth year of his reign. ¹³ And he carried out thence all the treasure of the house of the LORD, and the treasure of the king's house, and brake all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made, in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said. ¹⁴ And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the lords and all the men of might, to the number of ten thousand, into captivity — and all craftsmen and Joiners, none remaining save the poor people of the land. ¹⁵ And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his chamberlains, and the mighty of the land carried he away from Jerusalem to Babylon. ¹⁶ And all the men of activity to the number of seven thousand, and craftsmen and joiners a thousand, all strong and apt for war, did the king of Babylon bring to Babylon to dwell. ¹⁷ And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, his father's brother, king in his stead, and changed his name and called him Zedekiah. ¹⁸ Zedekiah was twenty one years old when he began to reign and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. ¹⁹ And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, in all points like to Jehoiakim. ²⁰ For through the wrath of the LORD it so chanced to Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out of his sight. And the said Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

¹ After these deeds and truth, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered into Judah, and pitched against the strong cities, and thought to draw them to him. ² And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem, ³ he took counsel with his captains and men of might, to stop the water of the fountains that were without the city - and they were content to help him. ⁴ And so there gathered much people together and stopped all the wells, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land; intending that the kings of Assyria should not find much water when they came. ⁵ And he went to lustily and built up the wall where it was broken, and made towers above upon, and yet another wall without, and repaired Millo the city of David, and made many darts and shields. ⁶ And he set Captains of war over the people and gathered them together unto the large street of the gate of the city and spake gently to them, saying, ⁷ "Pluck up your hearts and be strong: Be not afraid or in any wise discouraged for dread of the king of Assyria, and of the great multitude that is with him: for there is one greater with us than with him. ⁸ With him is an arm of flesh: But with us is the LORD our God for to help us and to fight our battles!" And the people were well couraged with the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. ⁹ After that Sennacherib king of Assyria sent of his servants to Jerusalem - he himself lying before Lachish, and all his kingdom with him - unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying, ¹⁰ "Thus sayeth Sennacherib king of Assyria: Wherein do ye trust, O ye that are besieged in Jerusalem? ¹¹ Hezekiah deceiveth you, to deliver you to death, hunger and thirst, saying, 'The LORD our God shall rid us out of the hand of the king of Assyria!' ¹² Is it not that Hezekiah that put down his hill altars and his other altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, 'Before one altar ye shall bow yourselves and upon that offer also?' ¹³ Moreover, have ye not heard what I and my fathers have done unto the people of all lands? Were the gods of the people of other lands able to save their lands out of my hand? ¹⁴ Which of all the gods was it, of those nations that my fathers destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand? ¹⁵ Wherefore now let not Hezekiah deceive you, either persuade you of this fashion, nor yet believe him. For as no god among so many nations and kingdoms, was able to rid his people out of mine hand and the hands of my fathers: even so much less shall your God keep you out of mine hand!" ¹⁶ And yet more did his servants speak against the LORD God and against his servant Hezekiah. ¹⁷ And thereto he wrote a letter to rail on the LORD God of Israel and spake therein, saying, "As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, no more shall the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand." ¹⁸ And they cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the walls, to fear them and to dismay them, that they might have taken the city. ¹⁹ And they spake against the God of Jerusalem; as against the gods of the nations of the earth, which are the work of the hands of men. 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 - 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. ²⁴ In those days Hezekiah was sick unto the death and besought the LORD; which answered him and showed him a wonderful miracle. ²⁵ But Hezekiah did not according to the courtesy showed him, for his heart arose: and therefore came there wrath upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem. ²⁶ Notwithstanding, Hezekiah meekened himself for the arising of his heart, both he and the inhabiters of Jerusalem. Wherefore the wrath of the LORD fell not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. ²⁷ And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour. And he gathered him treasure of silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields and of all manner pleasant Jewels; ²⁸ and made store houses for the fruits of corn, wine and oil; and stables for all manner of beasts, and folds for sheep. ²⁹ And he made him towns because he had cattle of sheep and oxen great abundance. For God had given him substance exceeding much. ³⁰ And the said Hezekiah stopped the upper water springs of Gihon and brought them down to the West side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. ³¹ But when the ambassadors of the lords of Babylon were sent to him to enquire of the wonder that chanced in the land, God left him: to tempt him, that all that was in his heart might be known. ³² The rest of the deeds of Hezekiah and his goodness are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. ³³ And then Hezekiah laid him to rest with his fathers, and they buried him in the highest sepulchre of the sons of David: and Judah and the inhabiters of Jerusalem did him worship at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

¹ And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and made him king for his father in Jerusalem. ² And Jehoahaz was twenty three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. ³ For the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem and merced the land in a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. ⁴ And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king upon Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name unto Jehoiakim; but Jehoahaz his brother, Neco took and carried him to Egypt. ⁵ And Jehoiakim was twenty five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that displeased the LORD his God. ⁶ Against him came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon. ⁷ Thereto the king Nebuchadnezzar carried off the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon and put them in his temple at Babylon. ⁸ The rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his Abominations, and that was laid to his charge, are written in the book of the kings of Israel: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. ⁹ Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and did that displeased the LORD. ¹⁰ And when the year was out, king Nebuchadnezzar sent and fetched him to Babylon with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem. ¹¹ And Zedekiah was twenty one years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. ¹² And he did that displeased the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet at the mouth of the LORD. ¹³ And thereto he rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar which had received an oath of him by God, and was too stiff necked and too hard hearted to turn unto the LORD God of Israel. ¹⁴ Thereto, all the rulers of the priests with the people trespassed apace after all manner of abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, sending them betimes: for he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place. ¹⁶ But they mocked the messengers of God and despised their words and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD so arose against his people that it was past remedy. 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. ¹⁸ And all the vessels of the house of God both great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king and his lords he carried to Babylon, every whit. ¹⁹ And they burnt the house of God and brake down the walls of Jerusalem and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire with all the goodly stuff thereof, and marred it. ²⁰ And he carried away them that had escaped the sword to Babylon, where they were servants to him and his children, until the kingdom of Persia began to rule; ²¹ to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had her pleasure of her Sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate, she kept Sabbath until she had fulfilled seventy years. ²² And the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to finish the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia that he made a proclamation throughout all this kingdom, and thereto to set it up in writing, saying, ²³ "Thus sayeth Cyrus king of Persia: 'All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me, which hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem that is in the land of Judah. Wherefore, whosoever is among you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.'"

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.

⁶ Wherefore a lion out of the wood shall hurt them, and a wolf in the evening shall destroy them. The cat of the mountain shall lie lurking by their cities, to tare in pieces all them that come thereout. For their offenses are many, and their departing away is great.

¹ Now when the city of Jerusalem was taken - for in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth Month, came Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon and all his Host, and besieged Jerusalem, ² and in the eleventh year of Zedekiah in the fourth Month the ninth day of that Month, he brake in to the city - ³ Then all the princes of the king of Babylon, came in, and sat them down under the port: Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim the Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer the Rabmag, with all the other princes of the king of Babylon.

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.

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.

¹² Now the tenth day of the fifth Month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the chief captain and the king of Babylon's servants came unto Jerusalem, ¹³ and burnt up the house of the LORD. He burnt up also the king's palace, all the houses, and all the gorgeous buildings in Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And the whole Host of the Chaldeans that were with the chief Captain brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

⁷ And so shall the congregation of the people come about thee. For their sakes, therefore, lift up thyself again.

¹³ The LORD looked down from heaven, and beheld all the children of men;

¹³ Turn thee again, O LORD, at the last, and be gracious unto thy servants.

¹⁵ Look down then from heaven, and behold the dwelling place of thy Sanctuary and thy glory. How is it that thy jealousy, thy strength, the multitude of thy mercies and thy loving-kindness, will not be entreated of us?

¹⁷ O LORD wherefore hast thou led us out of thy way? Wherefore hast thou hardened our hearts, that we fear thee not? Be at one with us again, for thy servants' sake that are of the generation of thine heritage.

⁵⁰ O LORD, when will thou look down from heaven, and consider?

¹⁶ O LORD, and done wickedly against all thy righteousness: Yet let thy wrathful displeasure be turned away, I beseech thee, from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy hill. And why? For our sins' sake, and for the wickedness of our forefathers is Jerusalem and thy people abhorred, of all them that are about us. ¹⁷ Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his intercession. O let thy face shine over thy Sanctuary, that lieth waste. ¹⁸ O my God, incline thine ear, and hearken; at the least for thine own sake, open thine eyes. Behold how we be desolated: yea, and the city also, which is called after thy name. For we do not cast our prayers before thee in our own righteousnesses, no, but only in thy great mercies. ¹⁹ O Lord, hear; O forgive Lord; O Lord consider, tarry not over long: but for thine own sake do it. O my God: for thy city and thy people is called after thy name."

¹⁴ Who can tell whether the Lord will turn and have compassion and shall leave after him a blessing? Sacrifice, and drink offering unto the LORD your God.

⁷ "Ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and since the time of your forefathers have ye not kept them. Turn you now unto me, and I will turn me unto you, sayeth the LORD of Hosts. Ye say, 'Wherein shall we turn?'

¹⁶ 'After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David which is fallen down, and that which is fallen in decay of it will I build again and I will set it up,

⁸ Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

²¹ My hand shall hold him fast, and mine arm shall strengthen him.

¹ Now will I sing my beloved friend a song of his vineyard. My beloved friend hath a vineyard in a very fruitful plenteous ground. ² This he hedged, this he walled round about, and planted it with goodly grapes. In the midst of it builded he a tower, and made a wine press therein. And afterward when he looked that it should bring him grapes, it brought forth thorns.

¹ There shall come a rod out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch shall spring out of his root.

⁵ And now saith the LORD that formed me in the womb, to be his servant and to turn Jacob unto him,

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.'

²² "'Thus sayeth the LORD God: I will also take a branch from a high Cedar tree, and will set it, and take the uppermost twig, that yet is but tender, and plant it upon a high hill: ²³ Namely, upon the high hill of Zion will I plant it: that it may bring forth twigs, and give fruit, and be a great Cedar tree: so that all manner of fowls may bide in it, and make their nests under the shadow of his branches. ²⁴ And all the trees of the field shall know, that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, and set the low tree up: that I have dried up the green tree, and made the dry tree to flourish: Even I the LORD that spake it, have also brought it to pass.'"

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:

¹² And speak unto him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: Behold the man whose name is the branch: and he that shall spring up after him, shall build up the temple of the LORD.

¹ And he began to speak unto them in similitudes. "A certain man planted a vineyard, and compassed it with a hedge, and ordained a winepress, and built a tower in it, and let it out to hire unto husbandmen, and went into a strange country.

¹ I am the true vine, and my father is a husbandman.

¹¹ When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin, thou makest his beauty to consume away, like as it were a moth fretting a garment; every man therefore is but vanity. Selah.

⁶ At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are fallen. ⁷ Thou art fearful, for who may abide in thy sight, when thou art angry?

⁷ For we consume away in thy displeasure, and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation.

¹¹ Their harvest shall be burnt; their wives, which were their beauty when they came forth, shall be defiled. For it is a people without understanding, and therefore he that created them, shall not favour them; and he that made them, shall not be merciful to them.

⁴⁷ and say to the wood toward the south, 'Hear the word of the LORD, thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, that shall consume thee green trees with the dry. No man shall be able to quench his flame, but all that looketh from the south to the north shall be burnt therein. ⁴⁸ And all flesh shall see, that I the LORD have kindled it, so that no man may quench it.'"

⁶ If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered: and men gather it and cast it into the fire, and it burneth.

⁹ which shall be punished with everlasting damnation, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power,

¹⁵ and the place of the vineyard that thy righthand hath planted, and the son whom thou madest so strong for thyself.

¹ {A Psalm of David} The LORD said unto my LORD, "Sit thou on my righthand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

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.

¹³ I saw in a vision by night, and behold, there came one in the clouds of heaven like the Son of Man - which went unto the Ancient of Days, before whom they brought him. ¹⁴ Then gave he him power and dignity regal, that all people, tribes and tongues should serve him. His power is an everlasting power, which shall never be put down: and his kingdom endureth uncorrupt.

²¹ For likewise, as the father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them, even so the son quickeneth whom he will. 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. ²⁴ Verily, verily I say unto you, He that heareth my words, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life: and shall not come into damnation, but is escaped from death unto life. ²⁵ Verily, verily I say unto you, the time shall come, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God. And they that hear, shall live. ²⁶ For as the father hath life in himself, so likewise hath he given to the son to have life in himself. ²⁷ And hath given him power also to judge in that he is the son of man. ²⁸ Marvel not at this: that the hour shall come, in which all that are in the graves, shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and shall come forth: They that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; And they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

²⁰ O what great troubles and adversities hast thou showed me! And yet didst thou turn and refresh me; yea, and broughtest me from the deep of the earth again.

¹³ So we, that be the people and sheep of thy pasture, shall give thee thanks forever, and will always be showing forth thy praise, from generation to generation.

⁶ Wilt thou not turn again, and quicken us, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

²⁵ {Daleth} My soul cleaveth unto the dust; O quicken thou me, according to thy word.

³⁷ O turn away mine eyes, lest they behold vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

⁴⁰ Behold, my delight is in thy commandments; O quicken me in thy righteousness.

¹⁰⁷ I am troubled above measure; quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.

¹⁵⁴ Maintain thou my cause, and defend me; quicken me according unto thy word.

¹⁵⁶ Great is thy mercy, O LORD; quicken me, as thou art wont.

⁴ Draw thou me unto thee; we will run after thee. The king hath brought me into his privy chamber: We will be glad and rejoice in thee, we think more of thy love than of wine. They that be righteous love thee.

⁶⁶ From that time, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. ⁶⁷ Then said Jesus to the twelve, "Will ye also go away?" ⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life; ⁶⁹ And we have believed, and known, that thou art Christ, the son of the living God."

¹ And you hath he quickened also, that were dead in trespass and sin: ² in the which, in time past, ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the governor that ruleth in the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of unbelief, ³ among which we also had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of our flesh, and fulfilled the will of the flesh, and of the mind: and were naturally the children of wrath, even as well as others. ⁴ But God, which is rich in mercy through his great love wherewith he loved us, ⁵ even when we were dead by sin, hath quickened us together in Christ — for by grace are ye saved -

¹² Wherefore, my dearly beloved, as ye have always obeyed — not when I was present only, but now much more in mine absence — even so work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. ¹³ For it is God which worketh in you both the will and also the deed, even of good will.

³⁸ But the just shall live by faith. And if he withdraw himself, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. ³⁹ We are not which withdraw ourselves unto damnation, but pertain to faith, to the winning of the soul.

⁴ One thing have I desired of the LORD, which I will require, even that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the LORD, and to visit his temple.

⁹ O hide not thou thy face from me, nor cast thy servant away in displeasure. Thou hast been my succor; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God my Saviour.

¹⁶ Show thy servant the light of thy countenance, and save me for thy mercy's sake.

³ For they got not the land in possession through their own sword, neither was it their own arm that helped them — But thy righthand, thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

²² "O ye shrinking children, turn again, saying, "Lo, we are thine, for thou art the LORD our God!" And so shall I heal your backturnings. ²³ The hills fall, and all the high pride of the mountains; but the health of Israel standeth only upon God our LORD.
