⁵ to him who made the heavens with wisdom: for his mercy endureth forever; ⁶ to him who established the earth on the waters: for his mercy endureth forever; ⁷ to him who alone made the great lights: for his mercy endureth forever; ⁸ the sun to rule the day: for his mercy endureth forever; ⁹ the moon and the stars to rule the night; for his mercy endureth forever;

²⁵ He it is who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth forever.

¹⁴ I will adore thee, for thou art awfully wonderful. Thy works are wonderful; as my soul well knoweth.

¹³ their store houses full and overflowing; their flocks prolific, abounding in their outwalks; ¹⁴ their herds fat. There is no destruction of enclosures; no breaking out; no screaming in their folds.

¹⁵ The Lord upholdeth all that are falling, and raiseth up all who are broken down. ¹⁶ The eyes of all wait upon thee: and thou givest them their food in due season; thou openest thy hands, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

⁶ who made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all the things in them; ⁷ who keepeth truth forever, executing judgment for the aggrieved, giving food to the hungry.

⁸ to him who covereth the heaven with clouds; to him who provideth rain for the earth; to him who causeth grass to grow on mountains, and bladed corn for the use of man; ⁹ and who giveth suitable food to cattle, and to the young ravens which call on him.

³ Sun and moon! Praise him: praise him all ye stars and light. ⁴ Praise him ye heavens of heavens: and thou water under the heavens!

⁴ Praise him ye heavens of heavens: and thou water under the heavens! ⁵ let them praise the name of the Lord; for he spake and they were produced: he commanded and they were created.

⁵ let them praise the name of the Lord; for he spake and they were produced: he commanded and they were created. ⁶ He established them forever and ever: he made a decree and it shall not pass away.

¹⁰ wild beasts and all cattle! creeping things and winged fowls!

² Let Israel rejoice in his maker; and the children of Sion exult in their king.

¹ An Alleluia. Praise God in his holies; praise him in the firmament of his power.

¹⁹ By wisdom God founded the earth; and by understanding he furnished the heavens.

²² The Lord created me, the beginning of his ways for his works. ²³ Before this age he founded me; in the beginning; before he made the earth ²⁴ and before he made the deeps: before the fountains of water issued forth; ²⁵ before the mountains were established; and before all the hills, he bringeth me forth. ²⁶ The Lord made fields and uninhabited wilds; and the habitable heights of the earth. ²⁷ When he furnished the heaven, I was with him; and when he set apart his own throne on the winds: ²⁸ and when he strengthened the clouds above:

²⁸ and when he strengthened the clouds above: ²⁹ and when he secured the fountains of the earth below; And when he made the foundations of the earth strong:

²⁹ and when he secured the fountains of the earth below; And when he made the foundations of the earth strong: ³⁰ I was harmonizing with him. I was the one in whom he delighted;

²² The blessing of the Lord is on the head of the righteous; it maketh rich, and to it no sorrow of heart shall be joined.

⁴ [Omitted]

⁷ All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not filled. To the place whence the rivers come, thither they return to continue their course.

¹³ I saw indeed that there is an advantage in wisdom above folly, like the advantage of light above darkness.

²¹ that here is a man whose labour hath been with wisdom and with knowledge, and with ability; and there is a man to whom, though he did not labour fur him, he shall give his portion. Surely this is vanity and a great vexation;

²⁹ God made mankind upright; but they have found out many classes.

³ When the clouds are filled with rain they empty themselves on the earth: and if a tree falleth, whether it be to the south or north, in the place where it shall fall there it shall be.

⁷ Light is indeed sweet, and it is grateful to the eyes to view the solar system;

¹ Because youth and thoughtlessness is vanity, therefore remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth; before the evil days come and the years draw nigh in which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.

⁸ Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go to this people? And I said, Behold, here am I: send me.

¹⁰ For the stars of heaven; even Orion and the whole host of heaven, shall not give light; even that of the rising sun shall be darkened; and the moon shall not give her light.

²³ [c] When the bricks shall have mouldered away, and the wall shall have fallen; because the Lord will commence his reign from Sion and from Jerusalem, and be glorified in the presence of the elders;

¹⁶ he shall dwell in a lofty cavern of a strong rock: bread shall be given him and his water shall not fail.

¹⁶ "O Lord of Hosts the God of Israel, who art enthroned on the cherubim! Thou alone art the God of every kingdom of the World. Thou hast made the heaven and the earth.

¹² Who hath measured the water with his hand, and the heaven with a span and the whole earth with a hand breadth? Who hath weighed the mountains in scales and the dales with a balance? ¹³ Who hath known the mind of the Lord? and who hath been of his counsel to teach him? ¹⁴ or whom hath he consulted that he might instruct him? or who hath pointed out judgment to him? or who hath shewn him the way of knowledge?

²⁶ Raise your eyes upwards and take a view: who hath displayed all those? He who bringeth out his host by number can call them all by name. On the account of abundant glory, by reason of the mightiness of his power he hath in no wise escaped thy notice;

²⁸ Hast thou then not known? hast thou not heard? The everlasting God, the God who fitted up the ends of the earth, cannot hunger, nor can he be weary; nor can his under standing be searched out.

⁵ Thus saith the Lord, the God who made the heaven and fixed it; who established the earth and the things therein and who giveth vital air to the people on it, and breath to them who tread thereon;

⁷ all that are called by my name." For I have prepared him for my glory, I have fashioned him and made him,

²⁴ [J] Thus saith the Lord, who redeemed thee; even He who formed thee from the womb; I am the Lord the Maker of all things; I alone stretched out the heavens and firmly established the earth.

⁷ It was I who provided light and made darkness; who make peace and create evils: I the Lord God am he who doth all these things.

¹⁸ Thus saith the Lord who made the heaven, the same God who displayed the earth to view, and who, having made it, parcelled it out: he did not make it to be waste, but formed it to be inhabited: I

¹³ and forgot test the God who made thee; him who made the heaven and founded the earth; and wast every day in continual dread of the furious countenance of thine oppressor. For how did he consult to carry thee away! But where now is the fury of thine oppressor?

¹⁶ I will put my words in thy mouth, and cover thee under the shelter of my hand with which I made the heaven and founded the earth; and say to Sion, Thou art my people.

¹⁰ For as the rain when it descendeth, or snow, from the heavens, doth not return thither, till it hath watered the earth, and caused it to generate and bloom and yield seed for the sower and bread for food; ¹¹ so shall it be with my word: when it hath proceeded from my mouth, it shall not be reversed, till all are accomplished which I willed; and till I prosper thy ways and my commandments.

¹⁹ And thou shalt no more have the sun for a light by day nor shall the rising of the moon enlighten thy night; but the Lord will be to thee an everlasting light; and thy God will be thy glory.

¹¹ and like the earth blooming with flowers. And as a garden causeth its seeds to vegetate, so will the Lord cause righteousness to spring up and joy in the presence of all nations.

⁸ But now, Lord, thou art our father. Though we are clay, we are all the works of thy hands:

¹⁷ for there shall be a new heaven and the earth shall be new: and they shall no more remember former things, nor shall they ever come again into their mind.

²³ [p] I beheld the earth and lo! a void! Then the heaven; and its lights were gone.

²² Will you not fear me, saith the Lord, nor be struck with awe at the presence of me who have by an everlasting decree, made sand a boundary to the ocean, so that it shall not pass it. Though it be tossed with a tempest, it shall not prevail; though the waves thereof roar, they shall not overpass it.

² Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the ways of the nations, and at the signs of heaven be not dismayed, because they are terrified at these appearances,

¹⁰ They must be taken up and carried; for they cannot walk. Fear them not for they can do you no harm, and there is no good in them.

¹² It is the Lord who made the earth by his power, who established the World by his wisdom: and by his understanding spread out the heaven,

¹² It is the Lord who made the earth by his power, who established the World by his wisdom: and by his understanding spread out the heaven, ¹³ and the multitude of waters in heaven: when he brought up clouds from the extremity of the earth; he made the lightning for rain, and brought light forth from his treasuries.

⁸ He will be like a thriving tree near waters which shall shoot out its roots in a moist soil. It will not be afraid when heat cometh, though its stock be loaded with branches. In a year of drought it will not be afraid, nor will it fail to bear fruit.

⁵ As I have made the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm, I can give it to whom it seemeth good in mine eyes. ⁶ I have given this land to Nabuchodonosar king of Babylon to serve him, and the beasts of the field to work for him.

¹⁷ self-existent Lord, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and by thy high and exalted arm. From thee nothing can be hid.

¹⁵ [c] The Lord is he who made the earth by his power, who fitted up the World by his wisdom. By his understanding he stretched out the heaven.

³⁸ [b] From the mouth of the Most High shall not evils proceed as well as good?

² Son of man, take up a funeral song for Pharao king of Egypt, and thou shalt say to him, To the lion of nations thou hast been likened, but thou art like a dragon which is in the sea. Thou hast harried thy rivers and troubled the water with thy feet, and trampled thy rivers.

⁷ And in the act of extinguishing thee I will cover heaven and darken the stars thereof: I will veil the sun with a cloud and the moon shall not give her light: ⁸ all that give light in the heaven shall be dark over thee; and I will overspread the earth with darkness, saith the Lord, Lord,

¹ Thus saith the Lord God, The gate of the inner court which faceth the east, shall be kept shut the six working days. On the day of the sabbaths it must be opened and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

⁶ and on the day of the new moon a young bull without blemish and six lambs and a ram which shall be without blemish;

⁸ She indeed did not acknowledge that I gave her the corn and wine and oil; and multiplied silver for her: but she made ornaments of gold and silver for Baal:

¹⁰ At their presence the earth will be confounded and the heaven shaken, and the sun and the moon will be darkened, and the stars will withdraw their refulgence,

³⁰ And I will exhibit wonders in heaven and on the earth, blood and fire and smoky vapour. ³¹ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and illustrious day of the Lord.

¹⁵ The sun and the moon shall be obscured in darkness; and the stars shall withdraw their refulgence;

⁸ He is the maker and former of all things. He turned darkness into day, and darkeneth the day into night. He calleth to him the water of the sea, and poureth it out on the face of the earth. His name is the Lord.

⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, Lord, That the sun shall set at noon day, and the light on that day shall be darkened on the earth.

⁹ And he said to them, I am a servant of the Lord; and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.

¹⁷ Now the Lord had commanded a great fish to swallow Jonas, so Jonas was three days and three nights, in the belly of the fish.

¹⁰ Upon this a command was given by the Lord to the fish, and it cast forth Jonas upon the dry ground.

¹⁰ What quaking and driving! what groans and heart breaking! what feebleness of knees and pangs in every loin! what blackness, like that of a pot, on the countenance of all!

¹¹ The sun was withdrawn: and the moon stood on its orbit. Thy bolts will glance for light, for a glare of the lightening of thine arms.

¹ The burden of the word of the Lord against Israel. The Lord who stretcheth out the heaven and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him,

¹⁵ Now did not he who had the residue of spirit, do right? Yet you have said, "What else but a seed doth God require?" But keep this in your mind, "Thou must not forsake the wife of thy youth."

² saying, Where is he who is born to be king of the Jews? For we have seen his star at its rise, and are come to pay him homage.

¹⁰ Now the axe is at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore which doth not produce good fruit is to be cut down and cast into the fire.

¹¹ give us to day our daily bread;

²⁵ Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; nor about your body, what you shall wear. Is not life a greater gift than food; and the body, than raiment? ²⁶ Observe those birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap, nor lay up in granaries; yet your heavenly father feedeth them. Are not you much more valuable than they?

³⁰ Now if God thus arrayeth the herbage which is today in the field, and tomorrow to be cast into a furnace, will he not much more clothe you, O ye mistrustful?

¹⁶ By their fruits you may know them. Are grapes gathered from thorns? Or figs from thistles? ¹⁷ So every good tree beareth good fruit; and every bad tree beareth bad fruit. ¹⁸ A good tree cannot bear bad fruit; nor a bad tree, good fruit. ¹⁹ Every tree which beareth not good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. ²⁰ So then by their fruits you will know them.

³ Whereupon Jesus stretched forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will: Be thou cleansed. And immediately he was cured of his leprosy.

²⁷ And the men in amaze, said, "What sort of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?"

²⁵ At that time Jesus took occasion to say, I thank thee, O father, Lord of heaven and earth; that thou having hid these things from the wise and prudent, hast revealed them to babes.

⁴⁰ For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the son of man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

²⁴ Another parable he stated to them, saying, The reign of the heavens may be compared to a man sowing good seed in his field. ²⁵ But when the men were asleep; his enemy came and sowed darnel among the wheat, and went away. ²⁶ And when the blade sprang up and put forth the ear, then the darnel appeared.

² Whereupon he in reply said to them, When it is evening you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red: ³ and in the morning, there will be a storm today, for the sky is red and lowering. Hypocrites! you know how to distinguish the appearance of the sky, and can you not discern the signs of the times?

⁴ In reply to which he said to them, "Have you not read that the Creator at the beginning made them a male and a female?"

²⁹ Now immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give her splendour; and the stars will fall from heaven, and the heavenly powers will be shaken. And then will appear the sign of the son of man in heaven.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land till the ninth hour:

²⁸ For the earth of itself produceth first a blade, then an ear, then full grains in the ear.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation God made them a male and a female.

¹⁹ For in those days there will be such distress as hath not happened from the beginning of the creation, which God created, till now; nor ever shall be.

²⁴ But in those days, after that distress, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will withhold her splendour,

⁴³ That indeed is not a good tree which beareth bad fruit; nor is that a bad tree which beareth good fruit. ⁴⁴ For every tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns; nor grapes from a bramble bush.

⁴⁴ For every tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns; nor grapes from a bramble bush.

²⁵ There will indeed be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth, anguish of desponding nations, while the sea is roaring and the billows thereof; ²⁶ and men are fainting with fear and apprehension of the things which are coming on the world. For the powers of heaven will be shaken,

⁴⁵ when the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent down the middle;

¹ In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. ³ By him all things were made, and without him there was not made one single thing.

⁵ and this light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness did not reach it.

⁹ The light [the true light which enlighteneth every man] coming into the world

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness more than light, because their works were evil.

¹⁷ Thereupon Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even now, and I also work.

⁴³ And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, Come forth.

²³ Jesus in reply, said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word and my Father will love him; and we will come to him and make an abode with him.

¹⁹ and I will exhibit wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood and fire and smoky vapour. ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and illustrious day of the Lord.

²⁴ which when they heard, they with one accord raised their voice to God and said, O Lord, thou art the God, who madest the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that are therein,

⁴⁷ for thus the Lord hath commanded us, "I have set thee for the light of nations, that thou mayst be for salvation to the remotest parts of the earth."

¹⁵ and saying, Men, why do ye these things? We are only frail mortals like yourselves, proclaiming to you to turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and all the things which are therein;

¹⁷ though at the same time he did not fail to give an evidence of himself, by conferring favours, giving us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

²⁰ For thou bringest some strange things to our ears. .We wish therefore to know what these things mean.

²⁴ He is the God who made the world and all the things which are therein. He is the Lord of heaven and earth. He dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

²⁴ He is the God who made the world and all the things which are therein. He is the Lord of heaven and earth. He dwelleth not in temples made with hands; ²⁵ nor is he served by the hands of men, as needing any thing. He is the giver of life and breath, and of all things, to all,

²⁵ nor is he served by the hands of men, as needing any thing. He is the giver of life and breath, and of all things, to all, ²⁶ and hath made of one blood the whole nation of men to inhabit the whole face of the earth, having marked out times previously arranged in order, and the boundaries of their habitation,

²⁸ For in him we live and are moved and exist; as some also of your own poets have said, "For we his offspring are."

²⁸ For in him we live and are moved and exist; as some also of your own poets have said, "For we his offspring are." ²⁹ Being therefore the offspring of God, we ought not to imagine the Deity to be like gold, or silver, or stone, wrought by the art and contrivance of man.

¹⁹ Because that which is to be known of God is manifest among them, for God hath manifested it to them; ²⁰ for his invisible attributes, both his eternal power and divine majesty, being thought upon, are from the creation of the world clearly discoverable by the things made, so that they are without excuse

³⁶ Because of him, and by him, and for him are all things; to him be the glory forever, Amen;

¹³ the work of every one will be made manifest; for the day will shew it: Because it is revealed with fire, therefore the fire will prove every one's work of what sort it is.

⁶ yet to us there is out one God, the father of all, of whom are all things and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things and we by him.

⁷ For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, he being an image and a glory of God; but woman is a glory of man;

⁷ For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, he being an image and a glory of God; but woman is a glory of man; ⁸ for man was not made of woman; but woman of man. ⁹ Nor was man created for the woman; but woman for the man.

⁴¹ The glory of the sun is of one kind; and the glory of the moon, of another; and the glory of the stars is different: One star differeth from another in glory.

⁴ with which the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the disbelieving, that the splendour of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is an image of God, may not shine upon them.

⁶ Because it is God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who hath shined in our hearts, to give a lustre of the knowledge of the glory of God in the person of Jesus Christ;

¹⁰ and may He who furnisheth abundantly seed for the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed, and increase the products of your righteousness!]

⁷ Be not deceived. God is not to be imposed on; for whatever a man soweth, that he shall reap.

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, fitted by Christ Jesus for good works, for which God had before prepared us that we might walk therein.

⁹ and to enlighten all men with respect to the dispensation of this secret, which God who created all things by Jesus Christ had hidden from the ages,

²⁴ and to put on the new man, which in a conformity to God is created in righteousness and the holiness of truth.

⁸ For you were formerly darkness, but being now a light in the Lord, walk as children of light

¹³ But all these reprehensible things are exposed to view by the light. For it is light which exposeth every thing to view; ¹⁴ therefore it is said, "Awake thou who sleepest and arise from the dead and the Christ will shine upon thee.

¹⁵ who is an image of the invisible God, a first born of the whole creation. ¹⁶ Because all the things which are in the heavens and which are on the earth were created by him, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, they were all created by him, and for him; ¹⁷ therefore he is before all, and they are all kept in consistence by him,

²⁶ the mystery which was hidden from the ages and from the generations, but is now manifested to his saints;

¹⁰ and put on the new man, which is renewed for knowledge after the image of him who created it,

⁵ You are all children of light and children of the day. We are not of night, nor of darkness.

³ forbidding marriage, and enjoining an abstinence from meats which God hath created to be partaken of with thankfulness by the faithful, and by them who are convinced of this truth, ⁴ that every thing which God created is good, and nothing to be rejected; for when taken with thankfulness

¹⁶ who alone hath immortality, who inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, or can see, to whom be honour and everlasting dominion. Amen. ¹⁷ Charge them who are rich in this present state not to be high minded; not to trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God who imparteth to us richly all things for enjoyment;

² hath in these last days spoken to us by a son whom he hath constituted heir of all things, by whom also he made the ages;

¹⁰ Again, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of thy hand.

⁶ but one in a certain place hath testified, saying, "What is man, that thou shouldst be mindful of him! Or a son of man, that thou shouldst visit him! ⁷ Thou madest him a little lower than angels; With glory and honour thou hast crowned him, ⁸ And set him over the works of thy hands. Thou hast put all things under his feet." For when he put all things under his feet, he left nothing which was not put in subjection to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him. ⁹ But we see him who was made a little lower than angels [namely] Jesus, on account of suffering death crowned with glory and honour, that so he by the favour of God might taste death for every man.

⁴ For every house hath some builder, but he who builded all things is God.

⁷ For ground which drinketh up the rain that frequently falleth on it, and produceth plants fit for the use of them for whom it is cultivated, receiveth a blessing from God;

³ By faith we understand that the ages were arranged by a word of God, that the things seen should not at all be out of things which appear.

⁷ For all kinds of beasts, and birds, and reptiles, and fishes, are subdued and have been subdued by man;

⁹ With it we bless our God and father; and with it we curse men, who are made after the image of God.

⁵ For this they wilfully forget, that by the word of God there were heavens of old, and an earth consisting of water and in water,

¹ What was from the beginning; what we have heard; what we have seen with our eyes; what we have viewed attentively, and our hands have handled [with respect also to the word of the life

⁵ This indeed is the message which we have heard from him, and announce to you, That God is light and in him there is no darkness at all.

⁸ Again I write to you a new commandment, a thing which is true in him, and in you. Because the darkness is past, and the light, the true light, now shineth,

⁷ because there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood, and these three are to one and the same thing,

¹⁴ "And to the angel of the congregation of the Laodicians write, Thus saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God,

¹¹ Thou, O Lord, art worthy to receive the glory and the honour and the power, because thou hast created all things, and at thy will they exist and were created.

¹² And I looked when he opened the sixth seal. And behold there was a great earthquake. And the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair; and the moon was like blood;

¹² And the fourth angel sounded; and the third part of the sun, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars were smitten, so that the third part of them was darkened and the day did not shine the third part of it and in like manner the night.

⁶ and sware by him who liveth for the ages of the ages, who created the heaven and the things therein, and, the earth and the things therein and the sea and the things therein, that there should no longer be a delay,

⁷ saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

⁸ And the fourth angel poured out his vial on the sun; and power was given to it to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And the men were scorched with great heat; and they blasphemed the name of God who hath power over these plagues and did not reform to give glory to him.

⁶ and he said to me, It is done; I am the Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end; to him who thirsteth I will give without cost from the fountain of the water of life.

²³ And the city had no need of the sun nor of the moon to enlighten it; for the glory of God enlightened it; and the lamb is its lamp:

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega: the beginning and the end; the first and the last.
