Psalms 10 Cross References - Matthew

¹ Why arte thou gone so far of, O Lord? wylt thou hyde thy selfe in tyme of trouble? ² While the vngodlye hath the ouer hand, the pore must suffer persecutyon.

The poore geueth him selfe ouer into thy hande, and committeth hym vnto the, for thou art the helper of the frendlesse. ¹⁵ Breake thou the arme of the vngodly and malycyous, search out the wickednes which he hath done, that he maye perysh. ¹⁶ The Lord is kynge for euer, the Heithen shal perish out of his land. ¹⁷ Lord, thou hearest the desyrous longing of the poore: theyr hert is sure, that thine eare herkeneth therto. ¹⁸ Helpe the fatherlesse and poore vnto their ryght, that the vngodlye be no more exalted vpon earh.

³⁵ He conceyueth trauayle, he beareth myschefe, and hys bodye bryngeth forth disceate.

¹² When wyckednesse is swete in his mouth, he hydeth it vnder his tonge.

²⁴ Haue I put my truste in goulde? Or haue I sayde to the fynest gould of all: thou art my confidence?

⁷ Vp Lorde, and helpe me O my God for thou smitest al mine enemyes vpon the cheke bones and breakest the teeth of the vngodly.

⁶ Thou destroiest the lyers: the Lord abhorreth the bloude thursty and disceatful.

⁹ For there is no faithfulnesse in their mouthes: they dessemble in their hertes: their throt is an open sepulcher: with their tonges thy disceaue.

⁶ Stande vp (O Lorde) in thy wrath, lyft vp thy selfe ouer the furyous indygnacyon of myne enemyes: aryse vp (for me) in the vengeaunce that thou hast promysed.

⁹ Oh let the wickednes of the vngodly come to an ende: but maynteyne the iust, thou rightuous God, that triest the very hertes and the reynes.

¹⁴ Beholde, he trauyleth wyth mischefe, he hath conceaued vnhappinesse, and broughte forth a lye.

¹⁶ For hys vnhappinesse shall come vpon hys owne head, and hys wyckednes shal fal vpon hys owne pate.

⁵ Thou rebukest the Heythen, & destroyest the vngodly, thou puttest out their name for euer and euer.

⁹ The Lorde is a defence for the poore, a defence in the tyme of trouble.

¹² And why? he maketh inquisicion for their bloude, and remembreth theym: he forgetteth not th complaynte of the poore.

¹⁵ As for the Heathen, thei are suncken doune in the pytte that they made: in the same nette which they spred out priuely, is their owne feete taken.

¹⁵ As for the Heathen, thei are suncken doune in the pytte that they made: in the same nette which they spred out priuely, is their owne feete taken. ¹⁶ Thus the Lord is knowen to execute true iudgemente, when the vngodly is trapped in the woorkes of hys owne handes. Selah.

¹⁸ But the poore shall not all waye be oute of remembraunce, the pacyent abydynge of suche as be in trouble shall not peryshe for euer. ¹⁹ Vp Lorde, let no man haue the vpperhand let the Heythen be condemned before the.

⁶ For he sayth in hys herte: Tushe, I shall neuer be cast downe, ther shal no harme happen vnto me.

¹⁴ Thys thou seyst, for thou consyderest the mysery and sorowe. The poore geueth him selfe ouer into thy hande, and committeth hym vnto the, for thou art the helper of the frendlesse.

¹ To the chaunter, of Dauid. In the Lord put I my trust: how will ye then saye too my soule: that she shoulde fle as a byrde vpon your hyll?

² Euery man telleth lyes too his neyghbour, they do but flatter with their lyppes and dissemble in their herte.

⁵ Now for the troubles sake of the oppressed, and because of the complainte of the poore I will vp (sayeth the Lord) I wil helpe them, & set them at rest.

¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme of Dauid. How longe wilt thou forget me O Lorde? for euer? howe longe wilt thou hyde thy face fro me?

¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme of Dauid. How longe wilt thou forget me O Lorde? for euer? howe longe wilt thou hyde thy face fro me? ² Oh how long shal I seke counsayl in my soule? how longe shall I be so vexed in myne hert? howe longe shall myne enemye triumphe ouer me? ³ Considre, & heare me, O Lorde my God: lighten myne eyes, that I sleape not in death.

¹ To the chaunter, of Dauid. The folyshe bodyes saye in their hertes: tushe, there is no God. They are corrupt, & become abhominable in their doynges, there is not one that doth good.

¹ To the chaunter, of Dauid. The folyshe bodyes saye in their hertes: tushe, there is no God. They are corrupt, & become abhominable in their doynges, there is not one that doth good. ² The Lorde loked doune from heauen vpon the chyldren of men, too se if there were any that wolde vnderstande and seke after God.

⁵ He that geueth not his money vpon vsury, and taketh no rewarde agaynste the innocent. Who so doth these thinges, shall neuer be remoued.

⁷ Shewe thy maruelous louing kindnesse, thou that sauest them whiche put their trust in the, from suche as resist thy right hande.

¹¹ They lye wayting in our waye on euery side, turnyng their eyes doune to the ground. ¹² Like as a Lyon that is gredy of his pray, and as it were a Lyons whelpe lurkynge in hys denne.

¹⁴ From the men of thy hande (O Lord) from the men of the worlde, which haue theyr porcion in this lyfe: whose bellyes thou fyllest with thy treasure. They haue chyldren at theyr desyre, and leaue the rest of of theyr substaunce for their babes.

²⁷ For thou shalte saue the poore oppressed, and brynge doune the hye lokes of the proude.

⁴³ Thou shalt delyuer me from the striuynges of the people, thou shalt make me the head of the Heathen. A people whom I haue not knowne shal serue me. ⁴⁴ As soone as they heare of me, they shall obey me, but the straung chyldren dyssemble with me. ⁴⁵ The straunge chyldren are waxen olde, and go haltynge out of their pathes.

¹ To the chaunter vppon Aieleth of the dawnyng, a Psalme of Dauid. My God, my God: why haste thou forsaken me? the wordes of my complaynte are farre fro my health.

¹¹ O go not fro me then, for trouble is harde at hande, and here is none to helpe me.

⁸ My hert speketh vnto the, my face seketh the, yea Lorde, thy face wyll I seke. ⁹ O hyde not thou thy face fro me, caste not in thy seruaunt of displeasure. Thou art my succour, leaue me not, nether forsake me, O God my sauioure.

¹⁰ The Lord stilleth the water floud, and the Lord remaineth a king for euer.

⁶ As for me, when I was in prosperytye, I sayd: Tush I shal neuer fall more. ⁷ And why? thou Lord of thy goodnesse hadest made my hyll so stronge. But as soone as thou turnedest thy face fro me, I was brought in feare.

¹⁸ Let the lieng lippes be put to silence which cruely, disdainefully, and despitefully speake against the rightuous.

¹⁵ For the eyes of the Lorde are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto theyr prayers.

¹⁰ All my bones shall saye: Lorde who is lyke vnto the? which deliuerest the poore from those that are to strong for him, yea, the poore and the nedy from hys robbers.

²¹ They gape vpon me with their mouthes, saying: there, there: we se it with our eyes. ²² This thou seist, O lorde: holde not thy tonge then, go not farre fro me, O lorde.

¹ To the chaunter, of Dauid the seruaunt of the Lorde. My hert sheweth me the wickednesse of the vngodly, that there is no feare of God before hys eyes.

³ The woordes of hys mouth are vnrighteousnes and disceate, he will not be learned to do good.

¹¹ O let not the fote of pride ouertake me, O let not the hande of the vngodly caste me doune.

⁴ Delyte thou in the Lorde, & he shall geue the thy hertes desire.

¹⁴ The vngodly drawe oute the swerde & bende their bowe, to caste doune the simple and poore, and to slaye suche as go the right waye.

¹⁷ For the armes of the vngodly shalbe broken, but the Lorde vpholdeth the ryghteous.

⁶ Though he came in to se, yet meaned he falsede in his hert, heapyng myscheyfe vpon hym selfe.

² Howe thou hast dryuen out the Heythen wyth thy hand, and planted them in: how thou hast destroyed the nacions and cast them out. ³ For they gat not the lande in possessyon thorowe their owne swearde, neyther was it their owne arme that helped them. But thy ryght hande, thyne arme and the lyght of thy countenaunce, because thou haddest a fauoure vnto them.

²⁴ Wherfore hydest thy face? wylte thou cleane forget oure mysery and oppression

¹ To the chaunter, a songe of the children of Corah vpon almuth. In oure troubles & aduersitye, we haue founde, that God is oure refuge, oure strength and helpe.

⁶ They that put their trust in their good, & boast theym selfes in the multitude of theyr ryches.

¹¹ Loke what is in their houses, it contynueth still: their dwellyng places endure from one generacion to another, and are called after their owne names vpon the earth. ¹² Neuerthelesse man abydeth not in suche honour, but is compared vnto the brute beastes, and becommeth lyke vnto them. ¹³ This waye of theirs is very folyshnesse, and yet their posteritie prayse it wyth theyr mouth. Selah.

¹⁸ Whyle he lyueth, he is counted an happy man: and so long as he is in prosperitie, men speake good of hym.

¹ To the chaunter, an exortacyon of Dauid when Doeg the Edomite came to Saul, and shewed hym, sayinge: Dauid is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thy self, thou Tyrraunt, that thou canste do myschiefe? Wher as the goodnesse of God endureth yet dayly.

⁴ Thou louest to speake al wordes that may do hurte. O thou false tonge.

¹ To the chaunter vpon Mahalath, an instruccyon of Dauid. The folysh bodyes saye in their hertes: Tush, there is no God. Corrupte are they & become abhomynable in their wyckednesse: there is not one, that doth good.

²¹ Their mouthes are softer then butter, & yet haue they battayll in theyr mynde: theyr wordes are smoother then oyle, and yet be they very swerdes. ²² O cast thy burthen, or care, vpon the Lord he shall norysh the, and not leaue the ryghteous in vnquyetnesse.

³ The vngodly are froward, euen from their mothers wombe: as soone as they be borne, they go a stray and speake lyes.

³ For lo, they lye wayting for my soule: the mighty men are gathered together agaynste me, withoute any offence or faulte of me, O Lorde.

¹² For the synne of their mouth, for the wordes of their lyppes, & because of their pryde, let them be taken: and why? their preachyng is of cursing and lyes.

⁴ Their deuyce is only how to put hym out, their delite is in lyes: they geue good wordes wyth their mouth, but curse wyth the herte. Selah.

³ Which whet their tonges lyke a sweard, and shote wyth their veneymous words like as with arowes.

⁵ They haue deuysed myschefe, and communed amonge them selues, how they may laye snares: tush (saye they) who shall se them?

⁵ He is a father of the fatherlesse, he is a defender of widdowes: euen God in his holy habytacyon.

⁴ He shall kepe the symple folke by theyr ryght, defende the chyldren of the poore, and punish the wronge doer.

⁸ Corrupte are they, and speake blasphemyes maliciouslye, proude and presumpteous are their wordes.

⁸ Corrupte are they, and speake blasphemyes maliciouslye, proude and presumpteous are their wordes. ⁹ They stretche forth their mouthe vnto the heauen, and their tongue goeth thorow the worlde.

¹¹ Tush (saye they) howe shoulde God perceiue it? is there knowlege in the most hyest?

¹⁰ O God, how long shall the aduersary do this dishonoure? how longe shall the enemy blaspheme thy name? for euer?

¹⁸ Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy rebuketh, and howe the folyshe people blaspheme thy name.

²¹ O let not the symple go awaye ashamed: for the poore and nedy geue prayses vnto thy name.

⁹ Hath the Lord forgotten to be gracyous? Or, hath he shut vp hys louynge kyndnes in dyspleasure? Selah.

⁵⁵ He dyd cast out the Heathen before them, caused their lande to be deuyded among them for an heritage, and made the trybes of Israel to dwell in their tentes.

³ Defende the poore and fatherlesse, se that suche as be in nede & necessitie haue right.

¹⁴ Lorde, why putteste thou awaye my soule? Wherfore hydest thou thy face fro me?

⁵ O Lorde, how glorious are thy workes, thy thoughtes are very depe. ⁶ An vnwyse man will not knowe thys, and a foole will not vnderstande it.

¹ The Lorde is kyng, and hath put on glorious apparell, the Lorde hath put on his apparell, & gyrded him selfe with strengthe: he hath made the rounde world so sure, that it can not be moued.

¹ O Lorde God, to whome vengeaunce belongeth: thou God to whome vengeaunce belongeth shewe thy self. ² Aryse thou iudge of the world & rewarde the proude after their deseruyng.

² Aryse thou iudge of the world & rewarde the proude after their deseruyng. ³ Lorde how longe shall the vngodly, how longe shall the vngodly triumphe? ⁴ How longe shall all wicked doers speake so disdaynfully, and make such proude boastynge?

⁴ How longe shall all wicked doers speake so disdaynfully, and make such proude boastynge? ⁵ They smyte doune thy people, O Lorde, and trouble thine heritage. ⁶ They murthur the wydowe & the straunger, and put the fatherlesse to death.

⁶ They murthur the wydowe & the straunger, and put the fatherlesse to death. ⁷ And yet they saye: Tushe, the Lorde seyth not, the God of Iacob regardeth it not.

⁵ Who so preuely sclaundereth hys neyghboure. hym wyl I destroye: Who so hath a prowd loke and an hye stomacke, I may not awaye with him.

¹⁷ He turneth him vnto the prayer of the poore destitute, & despiseth not their desyre.

³¹ For he standeth at the ryght hand of the pore, to saue hym from suche as condempne hys soule.

⁷ He wyll not be afrayed for anye euyll tydynges, his herte standeth fast, and beleueth in the Lord. ⁸ Hys hert is stablished, he wyl not shrynke, vntyl he se hys desyre vpon hys enemyes.

⁵ O that my wayes were stablished to kepe thy statutes.

⁶⁹ The proud ymagyn lyes vpon me, but I kepe thy commaundementes with my whole herte.

⁸⁵ The proude haue dygged pyttes for me, which are not after thy lawe.

¹²² Be thou suertye for thy seruaunte too do hym good, that the proude do me no wronge.

³ They sharpen their tonges lyke a serpent: adders poyson is vnder their lippes. Selah.

⁵ The proude haue layed a snare for me, & spred a net abroade wyth coardes, yea, and set trappes in my waye. Selah.

⁹ Let the mischief of their owne lippes fall vpon the head of theym, that compase me about.

⁸ Whose mouth talketh of vanitie, & theyr right hande is a right hande of falsede,

¹¹ Saue me, and deliuer me from the hande of straunge chyldren, whose mouth talketh of vanitie, and their ryght hande is a ryghte hande of falsede.

¹³ Thy kyngdome is an euerlastyng kyngedome, and thy dominion endureth thorowe out all ages.

¹⁹ He fulfilleth the desire of them that feare him, he heareth their crie, and helpeth them.

⁹ The Lorde careth for the straungers, he defendeth the fatherlesse and wydow: as for the way of the vngodly, he turneth it vpside doune. ¹⁰ The Lord thy God, O Syon, is kyng for euermore, & thorow out all generacions. Prayse the euerlastynge.

¹¹ if they entise the, & say: come with vs, let vs leye wayte for bloud, and lurke preuely for the innocent without a cause: ¹² let vs swalow them vp like the hel, let vs deuour them quicke & whole, as those that go doune into the pyt.

¹⁹ These are the ways of all suche as be couetous, that one wolde rauish anothers life.

¹³ From suche as leaue the hye strete, & walke in the wayes of darkenesse:

¹⁵ whose wayes are croked, and their pathes sclaunderous.

²² The wyckednesses of the vngodly shal catch him selfe, and with the snares of of his owne synnes shall he be trapped.

¹² A dissembling person, a wycked man goeth with a frowarde mouth, ¹³ he wyncketh wyth hys eyes, he tokeneth wyth hys fete, he poynteth wyth his fingers,

¹⁷ A proude loke, a dyssemblynge tonge, handes that shede innocent bloud,

²⁴ The thinge that the vngodly are afrayed of, shall come vpon them, but the rightuous shall haue their desyre.

³¹ He that doeth a poore man wrong, blasphemeth hys maker: but who so hathe pytye of the poore, doeth honoure vnto God,

³ The eyes of the Lord loke on euery place, both vpon the good and badde.

⁸ The Lorde aborreth the sacryfyce of the vngodlye, but the prayer of the rightuous is acceptable vnto hym.

²⁴ The waye of lyfe leadeth vnto heauen, that a man shoulde beware of hell beneth.

¹ A man may wel purpose a thinge in his herte, but the answere of the tong commeth of the Lord,

⁴ A presumptuous loke, a proude stomacke, and the lanterne of the vngodly is synne.

⁶ Who so hoordeth vp ryches wyth the disceatfulnes of his tonge, he is a foole, and lyke vnto them that seke their own death.

¹⁶ Who so doth a pore man wrong to increase his owne riches, geueth (commenly) vnto the rych, & at the last commeth to pouerte him selfe.

¹ Be not thou gelous ouer wycked men, and desyre not thou to be among them.

⁴ They that forsake the lawe, prayse the vngodly: but such as kepe the law abhorre them.

¹⁵ Lyke as a roarynge lyon and an hongry beare, euen so is an vngodly prynce ouer the pore people.

⁸ Remoue fro me vanite and lyes: geue me neither pouerte nor ryches, onely graunte me a necessary lyuyng. ⁹ Lest if I be to full, I denye the, & say: what felow is the Lord? And lest I beynge constrayned thorow pouerte, fall vnto stealyng, and forsweare the name of my God.

¹³ There are people that haue a proude loke, and cast vp their eye lyddes.

¹¹ Because now that euell worckes are not hastely punyshed the herte of man geueth hym selfe ouer vnto wyckednesse.

¹¹ Which casteth doune the hygh lokes of presumptuous personnes, & bryngeth lowe the pryde of man, & he only shall be exalted in the daye.

⁹ The chaungynge of their countenaunce bewrayeth them, yea they declare theyr owne synnes them selues, as the Sodomites, and hyde them not. Wo be vnto theyr soules, for they shalbe heuely rewarded.

¹⁵ Wherfore do ye oppresse my people, and marre the faces of the innocentes? thus shall the God of Hostes reuyle them.

¹² In those companies are harpes and lutes, tabrettes & pipes and wyne. But they regarde not the worck of the Lorde, and consydre not the operacyon of hys handes.

¹ Wo be vnto you that make vnryghteous lawes, and deuyse thinges, whiche be to harde for to kepe:

³ What wyll ye do in tyme of the visitacion and destruccyon, that shall come from farre? Tho whome wyll ye runne for helpe? or to whome will ye geue your honour that ye maye kepe it?

⁷ How be it, his meaninge is not so, neither thincketh his hert of this fasshion. But he ymagineth only, how he may ouerthrowe and destroye muche people, ⁸ for he sayth: are not my princes al kinges? ⁹ Is not Calno as easye to winne, as Charchamis? Is it harder to conquere Antiochia then Arphad? Or is it lyghter to ouercome Damascus then Samaria? ¹⁰ As wo say: I were able to winne the kingedome of the Idolatres and their Goddes, but not Ierusalem and Samaria. ¹¹ Shall I not do vnto Ierusalem and their ymages, as I dyd vnto Samaria and their ymages? ¹² Wherfore the Lorde sayeth: As sone as I haue perfourmed my whole worcke vpon the hyll of Sion and Ierusalem, then wyll I also vpset the noble and stoute kynge of Assiria, wyth his wisedom and pryde. ¹³ For he standeth thus in hys owne conceyte. Thys do I thorow the power of myne owne hand, and thorowe my wysedome: For I am wyse I am he that remoue the landes of the people I robbe the princes, and (lyke one of the worthies) I dryue them from their hye seates.

⁴ but wyth ryghteousnesse shall he iudge the poore, and with holynes shal he refourme the symple of the worlde. He shall smyte the worlde wyth the staffe of hys mouthe, & with the breathe of his mouth shall he slay the wicked.

¹³ And yet thou thoughtest in thyne herte: I wyll climme vp into heauen, and make my seate aboue the starres of God, I wyl syt vpon the glorious mounte toward the North,

¹⁶ They that se the, shal narowly loke vpon the, and thinke in them selues, sayenge: Is thys the man, that brought all landes in feare, and made the kyngedomes afrayde.

¹¹ Lorde, they wyll not se thyne hye hande, but they shall se it, and be confounded: when thou shalte deuoure them with the wrathe of the people, & wyth the fyre of thyue enemyes.

¹⁵ For ye comforte youre selues thus: Tushe, death & we are at a poynte, and as for hell, we haue made a condicyon with it, that thoughe there breake out anye sore plage it shall not come vpon vs. For wyth disceyte wyll we escape, and with nymblenes wil we defende oure selues.

⁷ These are the perlous weapons of the couetous, these be hys shamefull councels: that he maye begyle the poore with disceatfull workes, yea euen there as he shuld geue sentence with the poore.

¹⁰ And therfore sayeth the Lorde. I wyll vp, now wyll I get vp, nowe wil I aryse.

²² For the Lorde shalbe oure captayne, the Lorde shalbe oure lawe geuer. The Lorde shalbe oure kynge, and he hym selfe shalbe oure sauyoure.

²³ But thou Sennaherib, whom hast thou defyed & blasphemed? And agaynst whom hast thou lyfted vp thy voyce, & exalted thy proude lokes? euen agaynst the holy one of Israel.

²⁵ Therfore hath he poured vpon vs hys wrathfull dyspleasure, & stronge batell, whiche maketh vs haue to do on euery syde, yet wyll we not vnderstande: He burneth vs vp, yet syncketh it not in to oure hertes.

⁷ & thou thoughtest thus. I shalbe lady for euer. And desyde all that, thou hast not regarded these thinges, nether cast, what shuld come after.

¹² Come (saye they) I wil fetche wyne, so shall we fyll oure selues, that we maye be droncken. And to morowe, lyke as to daye, yea and much more.

¹⁷ I am wroth with him for his couetousnes and lust, I smyte him, I hyd me, and am angry, when he turneth him selfe, & foloweth the by the waye of his owne herte.

⁴ Noman regardeth righteousnes, and noman iudged truely. Euery man hopeth in vayne thinges, and ymagyneth disceyte, conceyueth werynesse, and bringeth forth euyl.

⁷ Their fete runne to euyll, & they make haste to shed innocent bloude. Their councels are wycked councel, harme and destruccion are in their wayes.

² For thus longe haue I euer holden out my handes to an vnfaithfull people, that go not the ryght waye, but after their owne ymaginacyons:

²⁴ And it shalbe, that or euer they call, I shall answere them. While they are yet but thinckinge howe to speake. I shal heare them.

³¹ Yf ye be the people of the Lorde, then herken vnto this worde: Am I then become a wyldernesse vnto the people of Israel? or a lande that hath no light? Wherfore sayeth my people then: we are fallen of, and we wyl come no more vnto the?

³⁴ Vpon thy wynges is founde the bloude of poore and innocent people, and that not in corners and holes onlye, but openly in all these places.

¹⁴ O Ierusalem wash thine herte from wyckednesse, that thou mayest be helped. Howe longe shal thy noysome thoughtes remayne with the.

²⁶ For amonge my people are founde wicked personnes, that pryuelye laye snares & wayte for men, to take them & destroye them.

³ They bende theyr tunges lyke bowes, to shute oute lyes. As for the trueth, they may nothynge awaye with all in the worlde. For they go from one wyckednes to another, & hold nothinge of me, sayeth the Lorde.

⁶ They haue set theyr stole in the myddest of dysceyte, and for very dyssemblynge falshede they wyll not knowe me, sayeth the Lorde.

¹⁰ But the Lorde is a true God, a lyuynge God, and an euerlastinge kyng. Yf he be wroth, the earthe shaketh: all the Gentiles maye not abyde his indygnacyon.

⁸ For thou art the comforte & helpe of Israel in the tyme of trouble. Why wilt thou be as a straunger in the Lande, and as one that goeth ouer the felde, and commeth in onely to remayne for a night?

¹⁷ For myne eyes beholde all their wayes, and they can not be hyd fro my face, nether can their wycked dedes be kepte close out of my syght.

¹⁷ Neuertheles, as for thyne eyes & thine herte, they loke vpon couetousnesse, to shede innocent bloude, to do wronge and violence.

²⁴ Maye eny man hyde hym self so, that I shal not se him? sayeth the Lorde. Do not I fulfyll heauen and earth? sayeth the Lorde.

² Azariah the sonne of Osaiah, & Iohanan the sonne of Kareah with al the proud personnes, sayde vnto Ieremy: Thou lyest, the Lord our God hath not sent the to speake vnto vs, that we shoulde not go into Egypt, and dwel there.

¹¹ Thou shalte leaue thy fatherlesse chyldren behynde the, and I wyll kepe them and thy wydowes shall take theyr comforte in me.

⁵⁶ For the destroyers shall come vpon her (euen vpon Babylon) whyche shall take her worthyes, & breake their bowes: for God is dysposed to auenge hym selfe vpon them, and suffycyentlye to recompence them.

¹⁰ Daleth. He layeth wayte for me lyke a Bere, & as a lyon in a hole.

¹⁹ But thou, O Lord, that remaynest for euermore, and thy seate world wythout ende:

¹² Then sayde he vnto me: Thou sonne of man, haste thou sene what the Senatoures of the house of Israel do secretly euerye one in hys chambre: For they saye: Tush, the Lorde seyth vs not, the Lord regardeth not the worlde.

⁹ Then sayde he vnto me: The wickednesse of the house of Israel and Iuda is very greate: so that the lande is full of bloude, and the citie full of vnfaythfulnesse: For they saye: Tushe, the Lord regardeth not the earth, he seyth vs not.

³ One of her whelpes she brought vp, and it became a lyon it learned to spoyle, and to deuoure folcke. ⁴ The Heathen hearde of him, and toke hym in their nettes, and brought him in chaynes vnto the lande of Egipte. ⁵ Now when the damme sawe, that all her hope and comforth was awaye, she toke another of her whelpes, and made a lyon of him ⁶ which went amonge the lyons, and became a fearce lion, learned to spoyle and to deuoure folcke:

²⁹ The people in the lande vseth wicked extorcyon and robbery. They vexe the poore and nedye and oppresse the straunger agaynste ryghte.

⁴⁸ Thus will I destroye all such filthynes out of the land: that al wemen may learne, not to do after your vnclennesse.

²¹ Beholde, thou sonne of man, I wyl breake the arme of Pharao kynge of Egypte: & lo it shall not be bound vp to be healed, neyther shall any playstre be layed vpon it, for to ease it, or to make it so stronge, as to holde a sweard. ²² Therfore, thus sayth the Lorde God: Beholde, I wyl vpon Pharao the kynge of Egypte, and bruse hys strong arme (yet is it but a broken one) & wyl smyte the swearde oute of hys hande.

³⁴ When this tyme was passed, I Nabuchodonosor lyfte vp myne eyes vnto heauen, and myne vnderstandynge was restored vnto me agayne. Then gaue I thanckes vnto the hyghest. I magnifyed and praysed hym that lyueth for euermore, whose power endureth alwaye, and his kingdome from one generacion to another:

²² And thou hys sonne (O Balthazar) for al this, hast not submytted thyne herte, thoughe thou knewest all these thynges, ²³ but hast magnyfyed thy selfe aboue the Lorde of heauen, so that the vessels of hys house were broughte before the, that thou, and thy Lordes, with thy quene and concubynes, myght drincke wyne thereoute: And hast praysed the Idoles of syluer and golde, copper and yron, of wode and stone: As for the God in whose hande consysteth thy breth and all thy wayes: thou haste not loaued hym.

²⁶ My commaundement is, in al my dominion & kingedome, that men feare and stande in awe of Daniels God. For he is the liuinge God, whiche abydeth euer: his kingedome shall not fayle, and hys power is euerlasting.

⁹ They be gone to farre, & haue destroyed themselues, like as they dyd afore tyme at Gabaa. Therfore their wyckednes shalbe remembred, and their synnes punyshed.

⁷ But the marchaunte hath a false weyght in his hande, he hath a pleasure to occupye extorsion. ⁸ Ephraim thinketh thus: Tush, I am ryche, I haue good ynoughe. In all my worckes shall not one fawte be founde, that I haue offended.

³ Assur shalbe no more oure helper, nether wyl we ryde vpon horses any more. As for the worckes of our handes, we wil no more cal vpon them: For it is thou that arte oure God, thou shewest euer mercye vnto the fatherlesse.

⁹ Who so is wyse, shall vnderstande thys: & he that is ryght instructe, wyll regarde it. For the wayes of the Lorde are ryghteous, suche as be Godlye wil walcke in them: As for the wicked, they wyll stomble therin.

⁴ Thou Tyrus & Sidon and all ye borders of the Philistines: what haue ye to do with me? Wil ye defye me? wel yf ye wil nedes defye me, I shal recompence you, euen vpon youre head, & that right shortly:

⁶ Thus sayth the Lorde: For thre and foure wickednesses of Israel, I wyl not spare hym: because he hath solde the ryghteous for money, and the poore for shues. ⁷ They treade vpon poore mens heades, in the duste of the earthe, & croke the wayes of the meke. The sonne and the father go to the harlot, to dyshonoure thy holye name,

⁴ Doth a lyon roare in the woodde, excepte he haue a praye? Or cryeth a lyons whelpe oute of hys denne, excepte he haue gotten somthing?

¹¹ For so muche then as ye oppresse the poore, & robbe him of his best sustenaunce: therfore, where as ye haue buylded houses of square stone, ye shall not dwel in them. Maruelous pleasaunt vyneyardes shal ye plante, but the wyne of them shall ye not drynck: and why? ¹² as for the multitude of your wickednesses and your stout synnes, I know them ryghte well. Euemyes are ye of the ryghtuous, ye take rewardes, ye oppresse the poore in iudgement.

⁹ Thyne hande shalbe lyft vp vpon thyne enemyes, and all thyne aduersaries shall perish.

¹⁰ Shulde I not be displeased, for the vnrightuous good in the houses of the wycked, and because the measure hys mynyshed? ¹¹ Or shulde I iustifie the false balaunces and the bagge of disceytfull weyghtes, ¹² amonge those that be full of ryches vnryghtuously gotten: where the cyte syns deale with falshede, speake lies, & haue dysceytfull tunges in their mouthes?

² There is not a godlye man vpon earth, there is not one ryghtuous amonge men. They laboure al to shed bloud, and euery man hunteth his brother to death:

¹⁰ For lyke as the thornes that sticke together, and as the drye strawe, so shall the dronckardes be consumed together, euen when they be full.

¹¹ Where is now the dwellyng of the lyons, & the pasture of the lyons whelpes? where the lyon & the lyonesse went wt the whelpes, & no man frayed them awaye? ¹² But the lyon spoyled ynough for hys yonge ones, & deuoured for his lionesse: he filled his dennes with his pray, & his dwellynge place with that he had rauyshed.

¹³ Thyne eyes are clene, thou mayest not se euyll, thou canst not beholde the thynge that is wycked. Wherfor then doest thou loke vpon the vngodly, and holdest thy tung, when the wycked deuoureth the man that is better then hym selfe?

¹⁵ They take vp all with theyr angle, they catche it in theyr net, and gather it in theyr yarne: whereof they reioyce, and are glad,

⁹ Wo vnto hym, that couetouslye gathereth euyll gotten goodes into hys house: that he maye set hys neste an hye, to escape from the power of mysfortune.

¹⁴ Thou cursest hys scepters, the captayne of men of warre: whiche come as a stormy wind to scatre me abroade, and are glad when they maye eate vp the poore secretely.

¹² At the same tyme will I seke thorowe Ierusalem with lanternes, and vpset them that contynue in theyr dregges, and saye in theyr hertes. Tushe, the Lorde wil do neyther good nor euyll.

³ yea or the daye of the Lordes sore dyspleasure come vpon you. Seke the Lorde all ye meke herted vpon earth, ye that worcke after hys iudgemente, seke ryghtuousnesse: seke lowlynesse, that ye maye be defended in the wrothfull daye of the Lorde.

³ Men may heare the sheperdes mourne, for their glory is destroyed. Men may heare the lyons whelpes roare, for the pride of Iordan is wasted away.

⁵ which shalbe slaine of those that possesse them: yet they take it for no sinne, but they that sell them, say: The Lorde be thancked, I am rich: yea, their owne sheperdes spare them not. ⁶ Therfore will I nomore spare those that dwell in the land (sayeth the Lord) but lo, I wil delyuer the people, euerye man into his neighboures hand, and into the hande of his king, that they may smyte the lande, & out of their handes wil not I delyuer them. ⁷ I my self fedde the slaughter shepe (a pore flocke verely) & toke vnto me two staues: the one I called louinge mekenesse, the other I called wo, & so I kepte the shepe. ⁸ Thre sheperdes destroyeth I in one moneth, for I might not away wt them, neither had they any delyte in me.

¹⁷ O Idols sheperd, that leaueth the flocke. The swerde shall come vpon his arme & vpon his right eye. His arme shalbe cleane dryed vp, and hys ryght eye shalbe sore blinded.

³ blessed are the pore in sprete: for theirs is the kingdom of heauen.

³⁴ O generation of vipers, how can ye say well, when ye your selues are euil? For of the aboundaunce of the herte, the mouth speaketh.

⁴⁸ But and if that euyll seruaunt shall saye in his herte, my maister wyll defer hys commynge,

¹⁵ and sayd: What wyll ye geue me, and I wyll delyuer him vnto you? And they appoynted vnto him thyrtye peces of syluer. ¹⁶ And from that tyme he sought oportunite to betraye hym.

⁶ And there were certayne of the scrybes, sittynge there and reasonynge in theyr hertes:

²¹ For from within, euen out of the herte of men, procede euel thoughtes: aduoutry, fornication, murther,

³⁹ When the pharysey which bade him, sawe that he speake within him selfe saiyng. If this man were a Prophete, he woulde surely haue knowen who and what maner woman this is which toucheth him, for she is a synner.

¹ And it fortuned after that, that he him selfe went thorowe out cyties and tounes preachinge and shewinge the kingdome of God, and the .xij. with hym.

¹ After these thynges, the Lord appoynted other seuentye also: and sent them, two & two before him into euery citie and place, whyther he hym selfe woulde come.

¹⁶ He that heareth you, heareth me, and he that dispyseth you, despyseth me: & he that despyseth me, despiseth hym that sente me.

⁵⁰ that the bloude of all Prophetes which was shede from the beginnynge of the worlde, maye be requyred of thys generacion ⁵¹ from the bloude of Abell vnto the bloude of Zacharye, whiche peryshed betwene the aulter and the temple. Verelye I saye vnto you, it shalbe requyred of thys nacyon.

¹⁵ Wherfore, he sayde vnto them: take hede, and beware of coueteousnes. For no mannes lyfe standeth in the abundaunce of the thynges whiche he possesseth.

¹⁹ and I wyll saye to my soule: Soule thou hast muche goodes layde vp in store for many yeares: take thyne ease, eate, drinke, and be mery.

¹⁴ All these thynges hearde the phariseis also which were couetous, and they mocked hym. ¹⁵ And he sayde vnto them: Ye are they whiche iustifye your selues before men: but God knoweth your hertes. For that which is highly estemed amonge men, is abhominable in the syght of God.

²⁵ But Abraham sayd vnto hym. Sonne, remembre that thou in thy lyfe tyme, receyuedest thy pleasure, and contrarywyse Lazarus payne. Nowe therfore is he conforted, and thou arte punyshed.

⁷ And shall not God aduenge his electe, which crye daye and nyghte vnto hym, ye though he defarre them? ⁸ I tell you, he wil auenge them, and that quickly. Neuerthelesse when the sonne of man commeth, suppose ye, that he shall fynde fayth on earth?

¹³ And the Publicane stode a farre of, and woulde not lyft vp his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saiynge: God be mercifull to me a synner. ¹⁴ I tell you: this man departed home to hys house iustifyed more then the other. For euerye man that exalteth hym selfe, shalbe brought lowe. And he that humbleth hym selfe, shalbe exalted.

¹² An hyred, seruaunte, which is not the shepeherde, neyther the shepe are hys own, seeth the wolfe commynge, and leaueth the shepe, and fleeth, and the wolfe catcheth them, & scatiereth the shepe.

²⁴ And when they hearde that, they lifte vp their voices to God with one accorde, and saied: Lorde, thou art God, whiche haste made heauen and earth, the sea and al that in them is, ²⁵ whiche by the mouth of thy seruaunt Dauid hast said: Why dyd the heathen rage, and the people imagyn vaine thinges. ²⁶ The kinges of the earth stode vp and the rulers came together, againste Lorde and agaynste his Chryste. ²⁷ For of a trueth againste thy holy childe Iesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herode and also Poncius Pilate, with the Gentyls & the people of Israel, gathered them selues together, ²⁸ for to do whatsoeuer thy hande and thy councell determined before to be done. ²⁹ And nowe Lorde, beholde their threateninges, and graunte vnto thy seruauntes with all confidence to speake thy worde. ³⁰ So that thou stretche forth thy hande, that healing and signes and wounders be done by the name of thy holye chylde Iesus. ³¹ And assone as they had prayed, the place moued where they were assembled together, and they were all filled with the holy ghoste, and they spake the worde of God boldlye.

²² Repent therfore of this thy wyckednes, and praye God, that the thought of thyne herte maye be forgeuen the.

⁵ Then was Peter kept in pryson. But prayer was made without ceasing of the congregacyon vnto God for hym: ⁶ And when Herode woulde haue brought him out to the people, the same nyght slept Peter betwene two souldiours bound with two chaynes, and the kepers before the dore kepte the pryson. ⁷ And beholde the aungell of the lorde was there presente, and a light shyned in the lodge. And he smote Peter on the syde, and stered hym vp, saiyng: aryse vp quickly. And hys chaynes fell of from hys handes. ⁸ And the aungell sayed vnto him: gyrde thy selfe, and bind on thy sandales. And so he dyd. And he sayed vnto hym: cast thy mantle aboute the, & folow me. ⁹ And he came out, and folowed hym, and wist not that it was truthe, whiche was done by the aungell, but thought he had sene a vysion. ¹⁰ When they were past the fyrste and the second watche, they came vnto the Iron gate, that leadeth vnto the citie which opened to them by his owne accorde. And they went oute and passed thorowe one strete, and by and by the aungell departed from hym. ¹¹ And when Peter was come to hym selfe, he sayde. Nowe I knowe of a suretye, that the Lorde hath sent hys aungell, and hath delyuered me out of the hande of Herode, and from all the waytyng for of the people of the Iewes. ¹² And as he consydered the thynge, he came to the house of Mary the mother of one Iohn which was called Marke also, where manye were gathered together in prayer. ¹³ As Peter knocketh at the entry dore, a damsell came forth to herken, named Rhoda, ¹⁴ when she knew Peters voyce, she opened not the entrey for gladnes, but ran in and tolde, how Peter stode before the entrey. ¹⁵ And they sayde vnto her: thou arte mad. And she bare them doune that it was euen so. Then sayde they: it is hys Aungel. ¹⁶ But Peter contynued knockynge. And when they had opened the dore, and sawe hym, they were astonyed. ¹⁷ And he beckened vnto them with the hande to holde theyr peace, and tolde them by what meanes the Lord hath brought hym out of the pryson. And he sayde: go shew these thynges vnto Iames, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place. ¹⁸ Assone as it was daye, there was no litell a do amouge the soudyers, what was become of Peter. ¹⁹ When Herode had called for hym, and founde hym not, he examined the kepers, and commaunded them to be caryed awaye. And he descended from Iewry to Cesarea, & there abode.

²¹ But folowe not theyr myndes: for there lye in wayte for hym of them, moo then .xl. men, which haue bounde them selues with a vowe, that they wyll neyther eate nor drinke tyll they haue kylled hym. And now are they readye, and loke for thy promes.

²¹ in as muche as when they knewe God, they glorifyed him not as God, neither were thankful, but waxed full of vanities in theyr Imaginations, and their folishe hertes were blinded.

²⁸ And as it semed not good vnto them to be a knowen of God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a leud minde, that they should do those thinges, whiche were not comly, ²⁹ beyng ful of al vnryghtuous doing, of fornicacion, wickednes, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuye, murther, debate, disceite, euyl condicioned, whisperers,

³² Whyche men though they knewe the ryghtuousnes of God, howe that they which such thinges commit, are worthy of death, yet not onely do the same, but also haue pleasure in them that do them.

¹³ Theyr throte is an open sepulchre, with theyr tonges they haue disceyued, the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes. ¹⁴ Whose mouthes are full of curssyng and bytternes.

¹⁶ Destruccyon and wretchednes are in theyr wayes.

²⁶ Lykewyse the spirite also helpeth our infirmityes. For we knowe not what to desyre as we ought: but the spirite maketh intercession mightelye for vs wyth gronynges whiche can not be expressed with tonge.

¹⁰ neither theues, neythe couetous, neither dronkardes, neither cursed speakers, neither pyllars, shall inherete the kyngedome of God.

⁴⁷ The fyrste man is of the earth, earthlye: the seconde man is the Lorde from heauen. ⁴⁸ As is the earthlye, such are they that are earthlye. And as is the heauenlye, suche are they that are heauenlye.

¹² Remember I saye, that ye were at that tyme without Christe, and were reputed aliantes from the commen welth of Israel, and were straungers from the testamentes of promes, and had no hope and were wythout God in thys worlde.

¹⁸ For thorowe hym we both haue an open waye in, in one spyrite vnto the father.

¹² by whom we are bold to drawe nighe in that truste, whyche we haue by fayth on on him.

⁵ For this ye knowe, that no whormonger, other vncleane persone, or couetous person, whyche is the worshypper of Images, hath anye inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christe and of God.

¹⁸ For many walke (of whom I haue tolde you often, and nowe tel you weping) that they are the enemies of the crosse of Christ, ¹⁹ whose ende is dampnation, whose God is theyr belye, and whose glorye is to theyr shame, whiche are worldlye minded.

⁵ Mortifie therfore, youre members whiche are on the earth, fornicacion, vnclenes, vnnatural, lust euil concupiscence, and couetousnesse, which is worshippinge of Idolles,

⁸ He therfore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, whiche hath sente his holye spirite amonge you.

³ When they shal say peace and no daunger, then commeth on them soden destruccion, as the trauaylynge of a woman wyth chyld, and they shal not escape.

¹⁷ So then vnto God, kyng euerlastyng, immortall, inuysyble, and wyse onely, be honoure & prayse for euer and euer. Amen.

⁹ They that wyll be rych, fall into temptacyon and snares, and into many folysh and noysome lustes which drowne men in perdicyon and destruccyon. ¹⁰ For couetousnes is the rote of all euyll, whiche whyle some lusted after, they erred from the faythe and tangled them selues wyth manye sorowes.

¹⁵ whiche appearynge (when the tyme is come) he shal shew that is blessed and myghtye onelye, kynge of kynges, & Lord of Lordes, ¹⁶ whiche onelye hath immortalitie, and dwelleth in lyght that no man can attayne, whome neuer man sawe, neyther can se, to whom be honoure and rule euerlastynge. Amen.

¹² for the whiche cause I also suffer these thinges. Neuerthelesse I am not ashamed. For I know whom I haue beleued, and am sure that he is able to kepe that whiche I haue commytted to hys kepyng, agaynst that daye.

² For the men shall be louers of theyr owne selues coueteous, bosters, proude, cursed speakers, dysobedyent to father and mother, vnthankefull, vnholye, ³ vnkynde, truce breakers, stubborne false accusars, ryatours, fierce despysers of them whiche are good, ⁴ traytours, headye, hye mynded, gredy vpon voluptuousnes more then the louers of God,

¹³ neyther is there anye creature inuisible in the syght of him. For all thinges are naked and bare vnto the eyes of him, of whom we speake.

¹⁶ Erre not my deare brethren. ¹⁷ Euery good gyfte, and euerye perfecte gyfte, is from aboue and commeth doune from the father of lyght wyth whome is no varyablenes, neyther is he chaunged vnto darkenes.

⁶ and the tonge is fyre, and a worlde of wickednes. So is the tong set among our members, that it defyleth the whole body and setteth a fyre all that we haue of nature, & is it selfe set a fyre euen of hell. ⁷ All the natures of beastes, and of byrdes, and of serpentes, and thynges of the sea, are meked and tamed of the nature of man. ⁸ But the tonge can no man tame. It is an vnrulye euyll ful of deadly poyson.

⁶ but geueth more grace.

¹⁰ Cast doune your selues before the Lorde, and he shal lyfte you vp.

¹³ Go to nowe ye that saye: to daye, and to morowe let vs go into suche a cytye and contynue there a yeare and bye and sel, and wynne:

¹⁶ But nowe ye reioyce in youre bostynges. All suche reioysing is euyl.

¹² For the eyes of the Lorde are ouer the rightuous, and his eares are open vnto theyr prayers. But the face of the Lorde beholdeth them that do euil.

¹⁹ Wherfore let them that suffer according to the wil of God, commit their soules to him with wel doing, as vnto a faythfull creator.

⁵ Lykewyse ye yonger submit youre selues vnto the elder. Submit youre selues euerye man, one to another, knyt youre selues together in lowlines of mynde. For God resisteth the proude & geueth grace to humble.

⁷ Caste all your care to him: for he careth for you.

¹⁵ Se that ye loue not the world, neyther the thynges that are in the worlde. Yf anye man loue the worlde the loue of the father is not in him.

⁷ And as muche as she glorified her selfe and lyued wantonly, so muche poure ye in for her of punishment, & sorowe, for she said in her herte: I sytte being a quene and am no wydowe, and shall se no sorowe.
