Luke1:1
For as much as many have taken in hand to set forth
in order a declaration of those things which are most surely
believed among us,
2
Even as they delivered them to us, which from the beginning
were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
3 It
seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of
all things from the very first, to write to you in order,
most excellent Theophilus,
4
That you might know the certainty of those things, wherein
you have been instructed.
John 19:33
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead
already, they broke not his legs:
34
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and
immediately came there out blood and water.
35
And he that saw it bore record, and his record is true: and
he knows that he said true, that you might believe.
21:24
This is the disciple which testifies of these things, and
wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
25
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the
which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that
even the world itself could not contain the books that
should be written. Amen.
Acts 1:1 The
former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus
began both to do and teach,
2
Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he
through the Holy Ghost had given commandments to the
apostles whom he had chosen:
3 To
whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many
infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and
speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
2:22 You men of
Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved
of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which
God did by him in the middle of you, as you yourselves also
know:
23
Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands
have crucified and slain:
24
Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death:
because it was not possible that he should be held of it.
3:13 The God of
Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers,
has glorified his Son Jesus; whom you delivered up, and
denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined
to let him go.
14
But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a
murderer to be granted to you;
15
And killed the Prince of life, whom God has raised from the
dead; whereof we are witnesses.
10:36 The word
which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by
Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
37
That word, I say, you know, which was published throughout
all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which
John preached;
38
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that
were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the
land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and
hanged on a tree:
13:23 Of this man's
seed has God according to his promise raised to Israel a
Savior, Jesus:
24
When John had first preached before his coming the baptism
of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think you
that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after
me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26
Men and brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and
whoever among you fears God, to you is the word of this
salvation sent.
27
For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because
they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which
are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in
condemning him.
28
And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired
they Pilate that he should be slain.
29
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him,
they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a
sepulcher.
30
But God raised him from the dead:
26:26 For the king
knows of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for
I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from
him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
1
Cor 15:3 For I
delivered to you first of all that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures;
4 And
that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
5 And
that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6
After that, he was seen of above five hundred brothers at
once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but
some are fallen asleep.
7
After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And
last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of
due time.
1
Tim 6:13 I give
you charge in the sight of God, who vivifies all things, and
before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a
good confession;
1
Pet 5:1 The
elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder,
and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a
partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2
Pet 1:12 Why I
will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of
these things, though you know them, and be established in
the present truth.
13
Yes, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to
stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even
as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me.
15
Moreover I will endeavor that you may be able after my
decease to have these things always in remembrance.
1:16 For we have
not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to
you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were
eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17
For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when
there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were
with him in the holy mount.
1
John 1:1 That
which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we
have seen with our eyes, which we have looked on, and our
hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2
(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear
witness, and show to you that eternal life, which was with
the Father, and was manifested to us;)
3
That which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that
you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our
fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus
Christ.
History
Mt 1:1 The book of the
generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of
Abraham. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David
are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying
away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the
carrying away into Babylon to Christ are fourteen
generations.
3:7 But when he saw many of the
Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to
them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee
from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits
meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within
yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say to you,
that God is able of these stones to raise up children to
Abraham.
6:28 And why take you thought for raiment?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil
not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say to you, That
even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of
these.
8:4 And Jesus said to him, See you tell no
man; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer
the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
10:14 And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your
words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off
the dust of your feet. 15 Truly I say to you, It shall be
more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day
of judgment, than for that city.
11:23 And you,
Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be brought
down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done
in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until
this day. 24 But I say to you, That it shall be more
tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than
for you.
12:3 But he said to them, Have you not read
what David did, when he was an hungered, and they that were
with him; 4 How he entered into the house of God, and did
eat the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat,
neither for them which were with him, but only for the
priests?
12:23 And all the people were amazed, and
said, Is not this the son of David?
12:39 But he
answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation
seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it,
but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was
three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall
the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart
of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in
judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because
they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a
greater than Jonas is here. 42 The queen of the south
shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and
shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of
the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a
greater than Solomon is here.
16:13 When Jesus came
into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist:
some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
19:4 And he answered and said to them, Have you not
read, that he which made them at the beginning made them
male and female,
24:37 But as the days of Noe were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as
in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the
flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming
of the Son of man be.
27:46 And about the ninth hour
Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama
sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why have you
forsaken me? 47 Some of them that stood there, when they
heard that, said, This man calls for Elias. 48 And
straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled
it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to
drink. 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias
will come to save him.
Mr
11:9 And they that went before, and they that followed,
cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name
of the Lord: 10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father
David, that comes in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the
highest.
Lu 1:1 For as much as many
have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of
those things which are most surely believed among us, 2
Even as they delivered them to us, which from the beginning
were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 3 It seemed
good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all
things from the very first, to write to you in order, most
excellent Theophilus, 4 That you might know the certainty
of those things, wherein you have been instructed.
1:5 THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a
certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and
his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was
Elisabeth.
1:54 He has helped his servant Israel, in
remembrance of his mercy; 55 As he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. 73 The oath which
he swore to our father Abraham,
2:36 And there was
one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the
tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an
husband seven years from her virginity;
10:31 And by
chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when
he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And
likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked
on him, and passed by on the other side.
Joh 4:4 And he must
needs go through Samaria. 5 Then comes he to a city of
Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of
ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob’s
well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his
journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth
hour. 11 The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to
draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you
that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father
Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself,
and his children, and his cattle?
6:30 They said
therefore to him, What sign show you then, that we may see,
and believe you? what do you work? 31 Our fathers did eat
manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread
from heaven to eat. 32 Then Jesus said to them, Truly,
truly, I say to you, Moses gave you not that bread from
heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which comes down from heaven,
and gives life to the world.
7:21 Jesus answered and
said to them, I have done one work, and you all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave to you circumcision; (not because it
is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and you on the sabbath day
circumcise a man. 23 If a man on the sabbath day receive
circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken;
are you angry at me, because I have made a man every whit
whole on the sabbath day?
8:33 They answered him, We
be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how
say you, You shall be made free? 37 I know that you are
Abraham’s seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has
no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with
my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your
father. 39 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our
father. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham’s children,
you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to
kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have
heard of God: this did not Abraham. 53 Are you greater
than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are
dead: whom make you yourself? 56 Your father Abraham
rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57
Then said the Jews to him, You are not yet fifty years old,
and have you seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said to them, Truly,
truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am. 59 Then
took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself,
and went out of the temple, going through the middle of
them, and so passed by.
9:26 Then said they to him
again, What did he to you? how opened he your eyes? 27 He
answered them, I have told you already, and you did not
hear: why would you hear it again? will you also be his
disciples? 28 Then they reviled him, and said, You are
his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. 29 We know
that God spoke to Moses: as for this fellow, we know not
from where he is.
Acts
1:1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all
that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 Until the day in
which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost
had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by
many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and
speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them
that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the
promise of the Father, which, said he, you have heard of me.
1:21 Why of these men which have companied with us all
the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22
Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he
was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness
with us of his resurrection.
2:22 You men of Israel,
hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God
among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did
by him in the middle of you, as you yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands
have crucified and slain:
2:29 Men and brothers, let
me freely speak to you of the patriarch David, that he is
both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this
day.
3:11 And as the lame man which was healed held
Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the
porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering. 12 And
when Peter saw it, he answered to the people, You men of
Israel, why marvel you at this? or why look you so earnestly
on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made
this man to walk? 13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac,
and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son
Jesus; whom you delivered up, and denied him in the presence
of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. 14 But
you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer
to be granted to you; 15 And killed the Prince of life,
whom God has raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
3:24 Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those
that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise
foretold of these days. 25 You are the children of the
prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our
fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your seed shall all the
kindreds of the earth be blessed.
4:9 If we this day
be examined of the good deed done to the weak man, by what
means he is made whole; 10 Be it known to you all, and to
all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the
dead, even by him does this man stand here before you whole.
4:27 For of a truth against your holy child Jesus, whom
you have anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the
Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28 For to do whatever your hand and your counsel determined
before to be done.
4:36 And Joses, who by the
apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being
interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the
country of Cyprus, 37 Having land, sold it, and brought
the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
7:1
Then said the high priest, Are these things so? 2 And he
said, Men, brothers, and fathers, listen; The God of glory
appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia,
before he dwelled in Charran, 3 And said to him, Get you
out of your country, and from your kindred, and come into
the land which I shall show you. 4 Then came he out of
the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelled in Charran: and from
there, when his father was dead, he removed him into this
land, wherein you now dwell. 5 And he gave him none
inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on:
yet he promised that he would give it to him for a
possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no
child. 6 And God spoke on this wise, That his seed should
sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them
into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. 7
And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I
judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and
serve me in this place. 8 And he gave him the covenant of
circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised
him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat
the twelve patriarchs. 9 And the patriarchs, moved with
envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, 10
And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him
favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and
he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. 11 Now
there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan,
and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he
sent out our fathers first. 13 And at the second time
Joseph was made known to his brothers; and Joseph’s kindred
was made known to Pharaoh. 14 Then sent Joseph, and
called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, three
score and fifteen souls. 15 So Jacob went down into
Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
7:17 But when
the time of the promise drew near, which God had sworn to
Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, 18 Till
another king arose, which knew not Joseph. 19 The same
dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our
fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the
end they might not live. 20 In which time Moses was born,
and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s
house three months: 21 And when he was cast out,
Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her
own son. 22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of
the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. 23
And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart
to visit his brothers the children of Israel. 24 And
seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and
avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
25 For he supposed his brothers would have understood how
that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood
not. 26 And the next day he showed himself to them as
they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying,
Sirs, you are brothers; why do you wrong one to another?
27 But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away,
saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? 28 Will
you kill me, as you did the Egyptian yesterday? 29 Then
fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of
Madian, where he begat two sons. 30 And when forty years
were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of
mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a
bush. 31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and
as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came to
him, 32 Saying, I am the God of your fathers, the God of
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then
Moses trembled, and dared not behold. 33 Then said the
Lord to him, Put off your shoes from your feet: for the
place where you stand is holy ground. 34 I have seen, I
have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and
I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver
them. And now come, I will send you into Egypt.
7:35
This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made you a ruler
and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a
deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in
the bush. 36 He brought them out, after that he had
showed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the
Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. 37 This is
that Moses, which said to the children of Israel, A prophet
shall the Lord your God raise up to you of your brothers,
like to me; him shall you hear. 38 This is he, that was
in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spoke
to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received
the lively oracles to give to us: 39 To whom our fathers
would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their
hearts turned back again into Egypt, 40 Saying to Aaron,
Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which
brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is
become of him. 41 And they made a calf in those days, and
offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of
their own hands.
7:44 Our fathers had the tabernacle
of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking
to Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion
that he had seen. 45 Which also our fathers that came
after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the
Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers,
to the days of David; 46 Who found favor before God, and
desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 47 But
Solomon built him an house. 48 However, the most High
dwells not in temples made with hands; as said the prophet,
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what
house will you build me? said the Lord: or what is the place
of my rest? 50 Has not my hand made all these things?
51 You stiff necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you
do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do
you. 52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers
persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of
the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the
betrayers and murderers: 53 Who have received the law by
the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. 54 When
they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and
they gnashed on him with their teeth.
10:36 The word
which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by
Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) 37 That word, I say,
you know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and
began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost
and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all
that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in
the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and
hanged on a tree:
13:16 Then Paul stood up, and
beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and you that
fear God, give audience. 17 The God of this people of
Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they
dwelled as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high
arm brought he them out of it. 18 And about the time of
forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of
Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot. 20 And
after that he gave to them judges about the space of four
hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet. 21 And
afterward they desired a king: and God gave to them Saul the
son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of
forty years. 22 And when he had removed him, he raised up
to them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their
testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a
man after my own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.
23 Of this man’s seed has God according to his promise
raised to Israel a Savior, Jesus: 24 When John had first
preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all
the people of Israel. 25 And as John fulfilled his
course, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not he. But,
behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I
am not worthy to loose. 26 Men and brothers, children of
the stock of Abraham, and whoever among you fears God, to
you is the word of this salvation sent. 27 For they that
dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him
not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every
sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet
desired they Pilate that he should be slain. 29 And when
they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took
him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher. 30
But God raised him from the dead: 31 And he was seen many
days of them which came up with him from Galilee to
Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people. 32 And we
declare to you glad tidings, how that the promise which was
made to the fathers, 33 God has fulfilled the same to us
their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it
is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this
day have I begotten you. 38 Be it known to you therefore,
men and brothers, that through this man is preached to you
the forgiveness of sins: 39 And by him all that believe
are justified from all things, from which you could not be
justified by the law of Moses.
15:21 For Moses of old
time has in every city them that preach him, being read in
the synagogues every sabbath day.
16:1 Then came he
to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was
there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which
was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
18:24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at
Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures,
came to Ephesus. 25 This man was instructed in the way of
the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and
taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the
baptism of John.
20:4 And there accompanied him into
Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus
and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of
Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
26:6 And now I stand
and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, to
our fathers: 7 To which promise our twelve tribes,
instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which
hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
26:24 And as he thus spoke for himself, Festus said with a
loud voice, Paul, you are beside yourself; much learning
does make you mad. 25 But he said, I am not mad, most
noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and
soberness. 26 For the king knows of these things, before
whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of
these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not
done in a corner.
Rom
1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made
of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4:1 What
shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to
the flesh, has found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by
works, he has whereof to glory; but not before God.
5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not
imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death
reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not
sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is
the figure of him that was to come. 15 But not as the
offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the
offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and
the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, has
abounded to many.
9:3 For I could wish that myself
were accursed from Christ for my brothers, my kinsmen
according to the flesh: 4 Who are Israelites; to whom
pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and
the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the
promises; 5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as
concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God
blessed for ever. Amen.
9:10 And not only this; but
when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father
Isaac;
11:1 I say then, Has God cast away his people?
God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of
Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
16:21 Timotheus my
workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my
kinsmen, salute you.
1 Cor
1:11 For it has been declared to me of you, my brothers, by
them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are
contentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that every one
of you said, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of
Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul
crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
3:4 For while one said, I am of Paul; and another, I am
of Apollos; are you not carnal? 5 Who then is Paul, and
who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as
the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos
watered; but God gave the increase. 21 Therefore let no
man glory in men. For all things are your’s; 22 Whether
Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or
death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s;
23 And you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
5:7
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new
lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is
sacrificed for us:
6:14 And God has both raised up
the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
10:1 Moreover, brothers, I would not that you should be
ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and
all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized to
Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the
same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same
spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that
followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with many
of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown
in the wilderness. 6 Now these things were our examples,
to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they
also lusted. 7 Neither be you idolaters, as were some of
them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and
drink, and rose up to play. 8 Neither let us commit
fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day
three and twenty thousand. 9 Neither let us tempt Christ,
as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of
serpents. 10 Neither murmur you, as some of them also
murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11:23
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered
to you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was
betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he
broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is
broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After
the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped,
saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do
you, as oft as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
15:3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose
again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 And
that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After
that, he was seen of above five hundred brothers at once; of
whom the greater part remain to this present, but some are
fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then
of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me
also, as of one born out of due time.
15:45 And so it
is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the
last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 However, that
was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural;
and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man
is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from
heaven.
16:10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may
be with you without fear: for he works the work of the Lord,
as I also do. 11 Let no man therefore despise him: but
conduct him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I
look for him with the brothers. 12 As touching our
brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with
the brothers: but his will was not at all to come at this
time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
2 Cor
1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached
among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was
not yes and no, but in him was yes.
3:12 Seeing then
that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that
the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end
of that which is abolished:
5:16 Why from now on know
we no man after the flesh: yes, though we have known Christ
after the flesh, yet now from now on know we him no more.
8:23 Whether any do inquire of Titus, he is my partner
and fellow helper concerning you: or our brothers be
inquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and
the glory of Christ.
11:3 But I fear, lest by any
means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so
your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is
in Christ.
11:22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they
Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
12:18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother.
Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same
spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
13:3 Since
you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward
is not weak, but is mighty in you. 4 For though he was
crucified through weakness, yet he lives by the power of
God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him
by the power of God toward you.
Gal
1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see
Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 But other of
the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
2:1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to
Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. 2
And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that
gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to
them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should
run, or had run, in vain. 3 But neither Titus, who was
with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they
were, it makes no matter to me: God accepts no man’s
person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference
added nothing to me: 7 But contrariwise, when they saw
that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me,
as the gospel of the circumcision was to Peter; 8 (For he
that worked effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the
circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the
Gentiles:) 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed
to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me,
they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship;
that we should go to the heathen, and they to the
circumcision.
Php 2:19 But I trust in the
Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly to you, that I also may
be of good comfort, when I know your state. 20 For I have
no man like minded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus
Christ’s. 22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a
son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.
3:4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If
any other man thinks that he has whereof he might trust in
the flesh, I more: 5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the
stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the
Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
Col 1:1 Paul, an
apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus
our brother,
4:7 All my state shall Tychicus declare
to you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister
and fellow servant in the Lord: 8 Whom I have sent to you
for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and
comfort your hearts; 9 With Onesimus, a faithful and
beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known to
you all things which are done here. 10 Aristarchus my
fellow prisoner salutes you, and Marcus, sister’s son to
Barnabas, (touching whom you received commandments: if he
come to you, receive him;) 14 Luke, the beloved
physician, and Demas, greet you.
1 Th
1:1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the church of the
Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord
Jesus Christ: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our
Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2:14 For you,
brothers, became followers of the churches of God which in
Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like
things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the
Jews: 15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own
prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God,
and are contrary to all men:
2 Th
1:1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the church of the
Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
1 Tim
1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of
God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
2 To Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and
peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam
was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the
transgression.
6:13 I give you charge in the sight of
God, who vivifies all things, and before Christ Jesus, who
before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
2 Tim 1:2 To
Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace,
from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 16 The
Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft
refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: 17 But,
when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and
found me. 18 The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy
of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he
ministered to me at Ephesus, you know very well.
3:8
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also
resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning
the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their
folly shall be manifest to all men, as their’s also was.
3:10 But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of
life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came to me at Antioch,
at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out
of them all the Lord delivered me.
4:9 Do your
diligence to come shortly to me: 10 For Demas has
forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is
departed to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to
Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring
him with you: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. 13 The cloak that
I left at Troas with Carpus, when you come, bring with you,
and the books, but especially the parchments.
Tit 1:4 To Titus,
my own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace,
from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5 For this cause left I you in Crete, that you should set in
order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in
every city, as I had appointed you:
3:12 When I shall
send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me
to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. 13
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey
diligently, that nothing be wanting to them.
Phm 1:1 Paul, a
prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to
Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow laborer, 2 And to
our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to
the church in your house: 9 Yet for love’s sake I rather
beseech you, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now
also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. 10 I beseech you for my
son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11 Which
in time past was to you unprofitable, but now profitable to
you and to me: 23 There salute you Epaphras, my fellow
prisoner in Christ Jesus; 24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas,
Lucas, my fellow laborers.
Heb
3:15 While it is said, To day if you will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16 For
some, when they had heard, did provoke: however, not all
that came out of Egypt by Moses.
5:5 So also Christ
glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that
said to him, You are my Son, to day have I begotten you.
6 As he said also in another place, You are a priest for
ever after the order of Melchisedec. 7 Who in the days of
his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications
with strong crying and tears to him that was able to save
him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 Though
he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which
he suffered;
7:14 For it is evident that our Lord
sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing
concerning priesthood.
9:1 Then truly the first
covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a
worldly sanctuary. 2 For there was a tabernacle made; the
first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the
show bread; which is called the sanctuary. 3 And after
the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest
of all; 4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the
covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the
golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and
the tables of the covenant; 5 And over it the cherubim of
glory shadowing the mercy seat; of which we cannot now speak
particularly. 6 Now when these things were thus ordained,
the priests went always into the first tabernacle,
accomplishing the service of God. 7 But into the second
went the high priest alone once every year, not without
blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of
the people: 8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the
way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while
as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
11:4 By
faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than
Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous,
God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet
speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should
not see death; and was not found, because God had translated
him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that
he pleased God. 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of
things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to
the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the
world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by
faith. 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out
into a place which he should after receive for an
inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he
went. 29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by
dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were
compassed about seven days.
12:2 Looking to Jesus the
author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was
set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and
is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For
consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners
against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your
minds.
13:12 Why Jesus also, that he might sanctify
the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us go forth therefore to him without the camp,
bearing his reproach.
13:23 Know you that our brother
Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I
will see you. 24 Salute all them that have the rule over
you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
Jas 1:1
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the
twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he
had offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 See you how
faith worked with his works, and by works was faith made
perfect? 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot
justified by works, when she had received the messengers,
and had sent them out another way?
5:11 Behold, we
count them happy which endure. You have heard of the
patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the
Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
1 Pe 2:21 For even
hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for
us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he
suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him
that judges righteously:
3:20 Which sometime were
disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in
the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein
few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
4:1
For as much then as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh,
arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that has
suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
5:1 The
elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder,
and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a
partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
5:12 By
Silvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have
written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the
true grace of God wherein you stand. 13 The church that
is at Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you; and
so does Marcus my son.
2 Pe 1:13 Yes, I think it meet,
as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by
putting you in remembrance; 14 Knowing that shortly I
must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus
Christ has showed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavor that
you may be able after my decease to have these things always
in remembrance. 16 For we have not followed cunningly
devised fables, when we made known to you the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of
his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honor
and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the
excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we
heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2:5
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth
person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood
on the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an
overthrow, making them an ensample to those that after
should live ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with
the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that
righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing,
vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful
deeds;)
3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of,
that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the
earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with
water, perished:
1 Joh
1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard,
which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked on,
and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For
the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear
witness, and show to you that eternal life, which was with
the Father, and was manifested to us;) 3 That which we
have seen and heard declare we to you, that you also may
have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with
the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
3:11 For
this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that
we should love one another. 12 Not as Cain, who was of
that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why slew he him?
Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s
righteous.
Jude
1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once
knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of
the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed
not. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about
them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication,
and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example,
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 11 Woe to them!
for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily
after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the
gainsaying of Core. 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from
Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord comes
with ten thousands of his saints,
Rev
2:14 But I have a few things against you, because you have
there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught
Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of
Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit
fornication.
5:5 And one of the elders said to me,
Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of
David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the
seven seals thereof.
7:4 And I heard the number of
them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and
forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of
Israel.
11:7 And when they shall have finished their
testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit
shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and
kill them. 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the
street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom
and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
21:12
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at
the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which
are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of
Israel:
Gen
2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and
from there it was parted, and became into four heads. 11
The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasses
the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And
the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the
onyx stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon:
the same is it that compasses the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it
which goes toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river
is Euphrates.
4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she
conceived, and bore Enoch: and he built a city, and called
the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and
Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. 19
And Lamech took to him two wives: the name of the one was
Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20 And Adah bore
Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of
such as have cattle. 21 And his brother’s name was Jubal:
he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of
every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of
Tubalcain was Naamah.
6:14 Make you an ark of gopher
wood; rooms shall you make in the ark, and shall pitch it
within and without with pitch. 15 And this is the fashion
which you shall make it of: The length of the ark shall be
three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and
the height of it thirty cubits. 16 A window shall you
make to the ark, and in a cubit shall you finish it above;
and the door of the ark shall you set in the side thereof;
with lower, second, and third stories shall you make it.
17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters on the
earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life,
from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth
shall die.
9:18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth
of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the
father of Canaan. 19 These are the three sons of Noah:
and of them was the whole earth covered. 20 And Noah
began to be an farmer, and he planted a vineyard:
10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah,
Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and to them were sons born after the
flood. 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and
Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3
And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and
Dodanim. 5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles
divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after
their families, in their nations. 6 And the sons of Ham;
Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 7 And the sons
of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and
Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 8
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the
earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: why it
is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech,
and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of
that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city
Rehoboth, and Calah, 12 And Resen between Nineveh and
Calah: the same is a great city. 19 And the border of the
Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, to Gaza; as
you go, to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even
to Lasha. 25 And to Eber were born two sons: the name of
one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and
his brother’s name was Joktan. 32 These are the families
of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their
nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth
after the flood.
11:1 And the whole earth was of one
language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as
they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the
land of Shinar; and they dwelled there. 3 And they said
one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them
thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they
for mortar. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a
city and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven; and let us
make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the face of
the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city
and the tower, which the children of men built. 6 And the
LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one
language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be
restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language,
that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8 So
the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the face of all
the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD
did there confound the language of all the earth: and from
there did the LORD scatter them abroad on the face of all
the earth.
13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and
beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered
every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah,
even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as
you come to Zoar. 11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of
Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated
themselves the one from the other. 12 Abram dwelled in
the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the
plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. 13 But the men
of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD
exceedingly.
14:1 And it came to pass in the days of
Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar,
Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations; 2
That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha
king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of
Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. 3 All these
were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the
salt sea.
15:12 And when the sun was going down, a
deep sleep fell on Abram; and, see, an horror of great
darkness fell on him. 13 And he said to Abram, Know of a
surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is
not their’s, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict
them four hundred years; 14 And also that nation, whom
they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they
come out with great substance. 15 And you shall go to
your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old
age. 16 But in the fourth generation they shall come here
again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
19:36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by
their father. 37 And the first born bore a son, and
called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites
to this day. 38 And the younger, she also bore a son, and
called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the
children of Ammon to this day.
35:19 And Rachel died,
and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that is the pillar
of Rachel’s grave to this day.
35:23 The sons of
Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and
Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: 24 The sons of Rachel;
Joseph, and Benjamin: 25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s
handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: 26 And the sons of Zilpah,
Leah’s handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of
Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
36:1 Now
these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. 8 Thus
dwelled Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. 9 And these are
the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount
Seir: 31 And these are the kings that reigned in the land
of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of
Israel.
46:26 All the souls that came with Jacob into
Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob’s sons’
wives, all the souls were three score and six; 27 And the
sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two
souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into
Egypt, were three score and ten.
50:1 And Joseph fell
on his father’s face, and wept on him, and kissed him. 2
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm
his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. 3 And
forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the
days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned
for him three score and ten days. 25 And Joseph took an
oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely
visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from hence. 26
So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they
embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
Ex 12:37 And
the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth,
about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside
children. 38 And a mixed multitude went up also with
them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. 39
And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they
brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because
they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither
had they prepared for themselves any victual. 40 Now the
sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelled in Egypt,
was four hundred and thirty years.
13:19 And Moses
took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straightly
sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit
you; and you shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
Num
13:22 And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron;
where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak,
were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in
Egypt.)
20:14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh
to the king of Edom, Thus said your brother Israel, You know
all the travail that has befallen us: 15 How our fathers
went down into Egypt, and we have dwelled in Egypt a long
time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers: 16 And
when we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an
angel, and has brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold,
we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border:
33:1 These are the journeys of the children of Israel,
which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies
under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2 And Moses wrote
their goings out according to their journeys by the
commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys
according to their goings out. 3 And they departed from
Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the
first month; on the morrow after the passover the children
of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the
Egyptians. 4 For the Egyptians buried all their
firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: on their
gods also the LORD executed judgments.
De
1:30 The LORD your God which goes before you, he shall fight
for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt
before your eyes;
2:8 And when we passed by from our
brothers the children of Esau, which dwelled in Seir,
through the way of the plain from Elath, and from
Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the
wilderness of Moab. 9 And the LORD said to me, Distress
not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I
will not give you of their land for a possession; because I
have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession. 10
The Emims dwelled therein in times past, a people great, and
many, and tall, as the Anakims;
2:14 And the space in
which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the
brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the
generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the
host, as the LORD swore to them. 15 For indeed the hand
of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the
host, until they were consumed. 16 So it came to pass,
when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among
the people, 17 That the LORD spoke to me, saying, 18
You are to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this
day: 19 And when you come near over against the children
of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I
will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon any
possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot
for a possession.
6:20 And when your son asks you in
time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the
statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God has
commanded you? 21 Then you shall say to your son, We were
Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of
Egypt with a mighty hand: 22 And the LORD showed signs
and wonders, great and sore, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on
all his household, before our eyes: 23 And he brought us
out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the
land which he swore to our fathers.
7:17 If you shall
say in your heart, These nations are more than I; how can I
dispossess them? 18 You shall not be afraid of them: but
shall well remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh,
and to all Egypt; 19 The great temptations which your
eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty
hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD your God
brought you out: so shall the LORD your God do to all the
people of whom you are afraid.
10:22 Your fathers
went down into Egypt with three score and ten persons; and
now the LORD your God has made you as the stars of heaven
for multitude.
11:2 And know you this day: for I
speak not with your children which have not known, and which
have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his
greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, 3
And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the middle
of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;
4 And what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and
to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to
overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD
has destroyed them to this day; 5 And what he did to you
in the wilderness, until you came into this place; 6 And
what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son
of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed
them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the
substance that was in their possession, in the middle of all
Israel: 7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of
the LORD which he did.
26:5 And you shall speak and
say before the LORD your God, A Syrian ready to perish was
my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there
with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and
populous: 8 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt
with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with
great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: 9
And he has brought us into this place, and has given us this
land, even a land that flows with milk and honey.
29:2 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, You
have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land
of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his
land; 3 The great temptations which your eyes have seen,
the signs, and those great miracles:
29:23 And that
the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning,
that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein,
like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and
Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his
wrath:
34:1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab
to the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over
against Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of
Gilead, to Dan, 2 And all Naphtali, and the land of
Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the
utmost sea, 3 And the south, and the plain of the valley
of Jericho, the city of palm trees, to Zoar. 4 And the
LORD said to him, This is the land which I swore to Abraham,
to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed:
I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall
not go over thither. 5 So Moses the servant of the LORD
died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the
LORD. 6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of
Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knows of his
sepulcher to this day. 7 And Moses was an hundred and
twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his
natural force abated. 8 And the children of Israel wept
for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of
weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
Jos 2:10 For we have
heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for
you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two
kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan,
Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
4:20 And
those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did
Joshua pitch in Gilgal. 21 And he spoke to the children
of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their
fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
22 Then you shall let your children know, saying, Israel
came over this Jordan on dry land. 23 For the LORD your
God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until you
were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea,
which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
14:6 Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in
Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said to
him, You know the thing that the LORD said to Moses the man
of God concerning me and you in Kadeshbarnea. 7 Forty
years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me
from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him
word again as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless my
brothers that went up with me made the heart of the people
melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God. 9 And Moses
swore on that day, saying, Surely the land where on your
feet have trodden shall be your inheritance, and your
children’s for ever, because you have wholly followed the
LORD my God. 10 And now, behold, the LORD has kept me
alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since
the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while the children of
Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, see, I am this
day fourscore and five years old. 11 As yet I am as
strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as
my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war,
both to go out, and to come in.
18:1 And the whole
congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at
Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there.
And the land was subdued before them.
24:2 And Joshua
said to all the people, Thus said the LORD God of Israel,
Your fathers dwelled on the other side of the flood in old
time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of
Nachor: and they served other gods. 3 And I took your
father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him
throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed,
and gave him Isaac. 4 And I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau:
and I gave to Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and
his children went down into Egypt. 5 I sent Moses also
and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I
did among them: and afterward I brought you out. 6 And I
brought your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the sea;
and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots
and horsemen to the Red sea. 7 And when they cried to the
LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and
brought the sea on them, and covered them; and your eyes
have seen what I have done in Egypt: and you dwelled in the
wilderness a long season. 8 And I brought you into the
land of the Amorites, which dwelled on the other side
Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your
hand, that you might possess their land; and I destroyed
them from before you. 9 Then Balak the son of Zippor,
king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and
called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you: 10 But I
would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still:
so I delivered you out of his hand. 11 And you went over
Jordan, and came to Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought
against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the
Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the
Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your
hand.
24:31 And Israel served the LORD all the days
of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived
Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that
he had done for Israel. 32 And the bones of Joseph, which
the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they
in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the
sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of
silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of
Joseph.
Judges
6:7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried
to the LORD because of the Midianites, 8 That the LORD
sent a prophet to the children of Israel, which said to
them, Thus said the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up
from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of
bondage;
11:12 And Jephthah sent messengers to the
king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you to do
with me, that you are come against me to fight in my land?
13 And the king of the children of Ammon answered to the
messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land,
when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even to Jabbok,
and to Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again
peaceably. 14 And Jephthah sent messengers again to the
king of the children of Ammon: 15 And said to him, Thus
said Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor
the land of the children of Ammon: 16 But when Israel
came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness to the
Red sea, and came to Kadesh; 17 Then Israel sent
messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray you,
pass through your land: but the king of Edom would not
listen thereto. And in like manner they sent to the king of
Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel stayed in Kadesh.
11:24 Will not you possess that which Chemosh your god
gives you to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall
drive out from before us, them will we possess. 25 And
now are you any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor,
king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he
ever fight against them, 26 While Israel dwelled in
Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in
all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three
hundred years? why therefore did you not recover them within
that time? 27 Why I have not sinned against you, but you
do me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge
this day between the children of Israel and the children of
Ammon.
19:30 And it was so, that all that saw it
said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that
the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to
this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.
Ruth
4:11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the
elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that
is come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two
did build the house of Israel: and do you worthily in
Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem: 12 And let your
house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah,
of the seed which the LORD shall give you of this young
woman.
1 Sam
227 And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him,
Thus said the LORD, Did I plainly appear to the house of
your father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to
be my priest, to offer on my altar, to burn incense, to wear
an ephod before me? and did I give to the house of your
father all the offerings made by fire of the children of
Israel?
4:5 And when the ark of the covenant of the
LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great
shout, so that the earth rang again. 6 And when the
Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What
means the noise of this great shout in the camp of the
Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was
come into the camp. 7 And the Philistines were afraid,
for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe
to us! for there has not been such a thing heretofore. 8
Woe to us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these
mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians
with all the plagues in the wilderness. 9 Be strong and
quit yourselves like men, O you Philistines, that you be not
servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit
yourselves like men, and fight.
6:5 Why you shall
make images of your tumors, and images of your mice that mar
the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel:
peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from
off your gods, and from off your land. 6 Why then do you
harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened
their hearts? when he had worked wonderfully among them, did
they not let the people go, and they departed?
8:6
But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a
king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the LORD. 7 And
the LORD said to Samuel, Listen to the voice of the people
in all that they say to you: for they have not rejected you,
but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over
them. 8 According to all the works which they have done
since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even to
this day, with which they have forsaken me, and served other
gods, so do they also to you. 9 Now therefore listen to
their voice: however, yet protest solemnly to them, and show
them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
9:21 And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite,
of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the
least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? why then
speak you so to me?
10:1 Then Samuel took a vial of
oil, and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, Is
it not because the LORD has anointed you to be captain over
his inheritance? 2 When you are departed from me to day,
then you shall find two men by Rachel’s sepulcher in the
border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The
asses which you went to seek are found: and, see, your
father has left the care of the asses, and sorrows for you,
saying, What shall I do for my son?
10:17 And Samuel
called the people together to the LORD to Mizpeh; 18 And
said to the children of Israel, Thus said the LORD God of
Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you
out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all
kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you: 19 And you have
this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all
your adversities and your tribulations; and you have said to
him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present
yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your
thousands.
12:6 And Samuel said to the people, It is
the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought
your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. 7 Now therefore
stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of
all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and
to your fathers. 8 When Jacob was come into Egypt, and
your fathers cried to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and
Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and
made them dwell in this place. 9 And when they forgot the
LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera,
captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the
Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they
fought against them. 10 And they cried to the LORD, and
said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and
have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of
the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you. 11 And
the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and
Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on
every side, and you dwelled safe.
15:6 And Saul said
to the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the
Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for you showed
kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up
out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the
Amalekites.
25:2 And there was a man in Maon, whose
possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and
he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he
was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 3 Now the name of the
man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was
a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful
countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his
doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
2
Sam 7:4 And it came to
pass that night, that the word of the LORD came to Nathan,
saying, 5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus said the
LORD, Shall you build me an house for me to dwell in? 6
Whereas I have not dwelled in any house since the time that
I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to
this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all the
children of Israel spoke I a word with any of the tribes of
Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying,
Why build you not me an house of cedar? 10 Moreover I
will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant
them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move
no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict
them any more, as beforetime, 11 And as since the time
that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and
have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the LORD
tells you that he will make you an house.
7:23 And
what one nation in the earth is like your people, even like
Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and
to make him a name, and to do for you great things and
terrible, for your land, before your people, which you
redeemed to you from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
11:21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did
not a woman cast a piece of a millstone on him from the
wall, that he died in Thebez? why went you near the wall?
then say you, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
1 Ki
4:30 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the
children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite,
and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and
his fame was in all nations round about. 32 And he spoke
three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and
five. 33 And he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree that
is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the
wall: he spoke also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping
things, and of fishes.
6:1 And it came to pass in the
four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel
were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of
Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the
second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
8:51 For they be your people, and your inheritance,
which you brought forth out of Egypt, from the middle of the
furnace of iron: 52 That your eyes may be open to the
supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of
your people Israel, to listen to them in all that they call
for to you. 53 For you did separate them from among all
the people of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you
spoke by the hand of Moses your servant, when you brought
our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.
9:8 And at this
house, which is high, every one that passes by it shall be
astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why has the
LORD done thus to this land, and to this house? 9 And
they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God,
who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt,
and have taken hold on other gods, and have worshipped them,
and served them: therefore has the LORD brought on them all
this evil.
16:34 In his days did Hiel the Bethelite
build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his
firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son
Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by
Joshua the son of Nun.
18:31 And Elijah took twelve
stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of
Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel
shall be your name:
2 Ki
14:25 He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of
Hamath to the sea of the plain, according to the word of the
LORD God of Israel, which he spoke by the hand of his
servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of
Gathhepher.
17:35 With whom the LORD had made a
covenant, and charged them, saying, You shall not fear other
gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor
sacrifice to them: 36 But the LORD, who brought you up
out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched
out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you worship, and
to him shall you do sacrifice.
18:1 Now it came to
pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel,
that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign;
and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His
mother’s name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah. 3
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD,
according to all that David his father did. 4 He removed
the high places, and broke the images, and cut down the
groves, and broke in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses
had made: for to those days the children of Israel did burn
incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
19:1 And
it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent
his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went
into the house of the LORD. 2 And he sent Eliakim, which
was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the
elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the
prophet the son of Amoz. 3 And they said to him, Thus
said Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke,
and blasphemy; for the children are come to the birth, and
there is not strength to bring forth.
21:14 And I
will forsake the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them
into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey
and a spoil to all their enemies; 15 Because they have
done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me
to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of
Egypt, even to this day.
22:4 Go up to Hilkiah the
high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought
into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door
have gathered of the people: 5 And let them deliver it
into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the
oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to
the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to
repair the breaches of the house, 6 To carpenters, and
builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to
repair the house. 7 However, there was no reckoning made
with them of the money that was delivered into their hand,
because they dealt faithfully. 8 And Hilkiah the high
priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of
the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book
to Shaphan, and he read it.
23:13 And the high places
that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of
the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel
had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians,
and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for
Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the
king defile. 14 And he broke in pieces the images, and
cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones
of men. 15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the
high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel
to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he
broke down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small
to powder, and burned the grove.
24:12 And Jehoiachin
the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and
his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his
officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth
year of his reign. 13 And he carried out there all the
treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the
king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold
which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the
LORD, as the LORD had said.
1 Ch 9:19 And Shallum the
son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his
brothers, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were
over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the
tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the
LORD, were keepers of the entry. 20 And Phinehas the son
of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the
LORD was with him. 21 And Zechariah the son of
Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation. 22 All these which were chosen to be
porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were
reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David
and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.
21:29 For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in
the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at
that season in the high place at Gibeon.
26:30 And of
the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, men of valor, a
thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of
Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of
the LORD, and in the service of the king. 31 Among the
Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites,
according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth
year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there
were found among them mighty men of valor at Jazer of
Gilead. 32 And his brothers, men of valor, were two
thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David
made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half
tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and
affairs of the king.
2 Ch
1:1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his
kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified
him exceedingly. 2 Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to
the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the
judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of
the fathers. 3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with
him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there
was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses
the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. 4 But
the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to
the place which David had prepared for it: for he had
pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 5 Moreover the brazen
altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had
made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon
and the congregation sought to it.
5:2 Then Solomon
assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the
tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel,
to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the
LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion. 5 And they
brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation,
and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these
did the priests and the Levites bring up. 10 There was
nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put
therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the
children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
7:21
And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to
every one that passes by it; so that he shall say, Why has
the LORD done thus to this land, and to this house? 22
And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God
of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land
of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them,
and served them: therefore has he brought all this evil on
them.
20:10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon
and Moab and mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel
invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they
turned from them, and destroyed them not;
26:22 Now
the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah
the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
32:20 And for
this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son
of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven. 32 Now the rest of
the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are
written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of
Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
35:25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the
singing men and the singing women spoke of Josiah in their
lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in
Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
Ezr 1:1
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word
of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the
LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he
made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it
also in writing, saying,
2:62 These sought their
register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but
they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put
from the priesthood. 63 And the Tirshatha said to them,
that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there
stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim.
3:8 Now
in the second year of their coming to the house of God at
Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of
Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of
their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all they
that were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem; and
appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to
set forward the work of the house of the LORD. 11 And
they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks
to the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endures for
ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great
shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of
the house of the LORD was laid. 12 But many of the
priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were
ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the
foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept
with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
4:18 The letter which you sent to us has been plainly read
before me. 19 And I commanded, and search has been made,
and it is found that this city of old time has made
insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition
have been made therein. 20 There have been mighty kings
also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries
beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid to
them.
5:1 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and
Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews that were
in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel,
even to them. 2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of
Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build
the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were
the prophets of God helping them.
5:8 Be it known to
the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the
house of the great God, which is built with great stones,
and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goes fast on,
and prospers in their hands. 9 Then asked we those
elders, and said to them thus, Who commanded you to build
this house, and to make up these walls? 10 We asked their
names also, to certify you, that we might write the names of
the men that were the chief of them. 11 And thus they
returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God
of heaven and earth, and build the house that was built
these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and
set up. 12 But after that our fathers had provoked the
God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who
destroyed this house, and carried the people away into
Babylon. 13 But in the first year of Cyrus the king of
Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this
house of God.
6:14 And the elders of the Jews built,
and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the
prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built, and
finished it, according to the commandment of the God of
Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and
Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia. 15 And this house
was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was
in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king. 16 And
the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and
the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the
dedication of this house of God with joy. 17 And offered
at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks,
two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering
for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of
the tribes of Israel.
Neh
8:16 So the people went forth, and brought them, and made
themselves booths, every one on the roof of his house, and
in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and
in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the
gate of Ephraim. 17 And all the congregation of them that
were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat
under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of
Nun to that day had not the children of Israel done so. And
there was very great gladness.
9:7 You are the LORD
the God, who did choose Abram, and brought him forth out of
Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham; 8
And found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant
with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites,
the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the
Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and have
performed your words; for you are righteous: 9 And did
see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their
cry by the Red sea; 10 And showed signs and wonders on
Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of
his land: for you knew that they dealt proudly against them.
So did you get you a name, as it is this day. 11 And you
did divide the sea before them, so that they went through
the middle of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors
you threw into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
12 Moreover you led them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and
in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the
way wherein they should go. 13 You came down also on
mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them
right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and
commandments: 14 And made known to them your holy
sabbath, and commanded them precepts, statutes, and laws, by
the hand of Moses your servant: 15 And gave them bread
from heaven for their hunger, and brought forth water for
them out of the rock for their thirst, and promised them
that they should go in to possess the land which you had
sworn to give them. 16 But they and our fathers dealt
proudly, and hardened their necks, and listened not to your
commandments, 17 And refused to obey, neither were
mindful of your wonders that you did among them; but
hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a
captain to return to their bondage: but you are a God ready
to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of
great kindness, and forsook them not. 18 Yes, when they
had made them a molten calf, and said, This is your God that
brought you up out of Egypt, and had worked great
provocations; 19 Yet you in your manifold mercies forsook
them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed
not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the
pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way
wherein they should go. 20 You gave also your good spirit
to instruct them, and withheld not your manna from their
mouth, and gave them water for their thirst. 21 Yes,
forty years did you sustain them in the wilderness, so that
they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their
feet swelled not. 22 Moreover you gave them kingdoms and
nations, and did divide them into corners: so they possessed
the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and
the land of Og king of Bashan. 23 Their children also
multiplied you as the stars of heaven, and brought them into
the land, concerning which you had promised to their
fathers, that they should go in to possess it. 32 Now
therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible
God, who keep covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble
seem little before you, that has come on us, on our kings,
on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and
on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of
the kings of Assyria to this day.
12:45 And both the
singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the
ward of the purification, according to the commandment of
David, and of Solomon his son. 46 For in the days of
David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and
songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
13:26 Did
not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among
many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of
his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless
even him did outlandish women cause to sin. 27 Shall we
then listen to you to do all this great evil, to transgress
against our God in marrying strange wives?
Est 2:5 Now in Shushan
the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai,
the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a
Benjamite; 6 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem
with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah
king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had
carried away.
Ps
29:10 The LORD sits on the flood; yes, the LORD sits King
for ever.
44:1 We have heard with our ears, O God,
our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days,
in the times of old. 2 How you did drive out the heathen
with your hand, and planted them; how you did afflict the
people, and cast them out. 3 For they got not the land in
possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm
save them: but your right hand, and your arm, and the light
of your countenance, because you had a favor to them.
60:1. Veisuunjohtajalle; veisataan kuin: "Todistuksen
lilja"; Daavidin laulu, opetettavaksi, 2. kun hän
taisteli Mesopotamian aramilaisia ja Sooban aramilaisia
vastaan ja Jooab palasi ja voitti Suolalaaksossa
edomilaiset, kaksitoista tuhatta miestä.
60:6 God has
spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide
Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 7 Gilead is
mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of
my head; Judah is my lawgiver; 8 Moab is my wash pot;
over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you
because of me. 9 Who will bring me into the strong city?
who will lead me into Edom?
66:5 Come and see the
works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the
children of men. 6 He turned the sea into dry land: they
went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
68:27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the
princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun,
and the princes of Naphtali.
74:13 You did divide the
sea by your strength: you brake the heads of the dragons in
the waters. 14 You brake the heads of leviathan in
pieces, and gave him to be meat to the people inhabiting the
wilderness. 15 You did split the fountain and the flood:
you dried up mighty rivers.
77:19 Your way is in the
sea, and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps
are not known. 20 You led your people like a flock by the
hand of Moses and Aaron.
78:12 Marvelous things did
he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in
the field of Zoan. 13 He divided the sea, and caused them
to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the
night with a light of fire. 15 He split the rocks in the
wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused
waters to run down like rivers. 17 And they sinned yet
more against him by provoking the most High in the
wilderness. 18 And they tempted God in their heart by
asking meat for their lust. 19 Yes, they spoke against
God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out,
and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he
provide flesh for his people? 21 Therefore the LORD heard
this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob,
and anger also came up against Israel; 22 Because they
believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: 23
Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened
the doors of heaven, 24 And had rained down manna on them
to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 25 Man
did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full. 26
He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his
power he brought in the south wind. 27 He rained flesh
also on them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand
of the sea: 28 And he let it fall in the middle of their
camp, round about their habitations. 29 So they did eat,
and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their
meat was yet in their mouths, 31 The wrath of God came on
them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the
chosen men of Israel. 32 For all this they sinned still,
and believed not for his wondrous works.
78:40 How
oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him
in the desert! 41 Yes, they turned back and tempted God,
and limited the Holy One of Israel. 42 They remembered
not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the
enemy. 43 How he had worked his signs in Egypt, and his
wonders in the field of Zoan. 44 And had turned their
rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not
drink. 45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which
devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. 46 He
gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor
to the locust. 47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and
their sycomore trees with frost. 48 He gave up their
cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot
thunderbolts. 49 He cast on them the fierceness of his
anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil
angels among them. 50 He made a way to his anger; he
spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over
to the pestilence; 51 And smote all the firstborn in
Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of
Ham: 52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep,
and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 53 And he
led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea
overwhelmed their enemies. 54 And he brought them to the
border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his
right hand had purchased. 55 He cast out the heathen also
before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and
made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
78:58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places,
and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. 59
When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred
Israel: 60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,
the tent which he placed among men;
78:67 Moreover he
refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of
Ephraim: 68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion
which he loved. 69 And he built his sanctuary like high
palaces, like the earth which he has established for ever.
70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the
sheepfolds: 71 From following the ewes great with young
he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his
inheritance. 72 So he fed them according to the integrity
of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his
hands.
80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh
stir up your strength, and come and save us.
80:8 You
have brought a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the
heathen, and planted it. 9 You prepared room before it,
and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the
boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. 11 She sent
out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river.
12 Why have you then broken down her hedges, so that all
they which pass by the way do pluck her? 13 The boar out
of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field
does devour it. 14 Return, we beseech you, O God of
hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this
vine; 15 And the vineyard which your right hand has
planted, and the branch that you made strong for yourself.
81:7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I
answered you in the secret place of thunder: I proved you at
the waters of Meribah. Selah. 10 I am the LORD your God,
which brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth
wide, and I will fill it.
83:5 For they have
consulted together with one consent: they are confederate
against you: 6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the
Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7 Gebal, and
Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of
Tyre; 8 Assur also is joined with them: they have helped
the children of Lot. Selah. 9 Do to them as to the
Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of
Kison: 10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung
for the earth. 11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like
Zeeb: yes, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
89:49 Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses,
which you swore to David in your truth?
95:7 For he
is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the
sheep of his hand. To day if you will hear his voice, 8
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the
day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers
tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 10 Forty years
long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a
people that do err in their heart, and they have not known
my ways: 11 To whom I swore in my wrath that they should
not enter into my rest.
99:6 Moses and Aaron among
his priests, and Samuel among them that call on his name;
they called on the LORD, and he answered them. 7 He spoke
to them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and
the ordinance that he gave them.
103:6 The LORD
executes righteousness and judgment for all that are
oppressed. 7 He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to
the children of Israel.
105:5 Remember his marvelous
works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of
his mouth; 6 O you seed of Abraham his servant, you
children of Jacob his chosen. 7 He is the LORD our God:
his judgments are in all the earth. 8 He has remembered
his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a
thousand generations. 9 Which covenant he made with
Abraham, and his oath to Isaac; 10 And confirmed the same
to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting
covenant: 11 Saying, To you will I give the land of
Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: 12 When they were
but a few men in number; yes, very few, and strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one
kingdom to another people; 14 He suffered no man to do
them wrong: yes, he reproved kings for their sakes; 15
Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
105:16 Moreover he called for a famine on the land: he
broke the whole staff of bread. 17 He sent a man before
them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: 18 Whose
feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 19
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD
tried him. 20 The king sent and loosed him; even the
ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21 He made him
lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: 22 To
bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators
wisdom. 23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob
sojourned in the land of Ham. 24 And he increased his
people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtly
with his servants.
105:26 He sent Moses his servant;
and Aaron whom he had chosen. 27 They showed his signs
among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He sent
darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against
his word. 29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew
their fish. 30 Their land brought forth frogs in
abundance, in the chambers of their kings. 31 He spoke,
and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their
coasts. 32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire
in their land. 33 He smote their vines also and their fig
trees; and broke the trees of their coasts. 34 He spoke,
and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without
number, 35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land,
and devoured the fruit of their ground. 36 He smote also
all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their
strength. 37 He brought them forth also with silver and
gold: and there was not one feeble person among their
tribes. 38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the
fear of them fell on them.
105:39 He spread a cloud
for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. 40
The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them
with the bread of heaven. 41 He opened the rock, and the
waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his
servant. 43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and
his chosen with gladness: 44 And gave them the lands of
the heathen: and they inherited the labor of the people;
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws.
Praise you the LORD.
106:7 Our fathers understood not
your wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of
your mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red
sea. 8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake,
that he might make his mighty power to be known. 9 He
rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led
them through the depths, as through the wilderness. 10
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and
redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. 11 And the
waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them
left. 12 Then believed they his words; they sang his
praise.
106:13 They soon forgot his works; they
waited not for his counsel: 14 But lusted exceedingly in
the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. 15 And he
gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint
of the LORD. 17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan
and covered the company of Abiram. 18 And a fire was
kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten
image. 20 Thus they changed their glory into the
similitude of an ox that eats grass. 21 They forgot God
their savior, which had done great things in Egypt; 22
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by
the Red sea.
106:23 Therefore he said that he would
destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in
the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy
them. 24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land, they
believed not his word: 25 But murmured in their tents,
and listened not to the voice of the LORD. 26 Therefore
he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the
wilderness: 27 To overthrow their seed also among the
nations, and to scatter them in the lands. 28 They joined
themselves also to Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the
dead. 29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their
inventions: and the plague broke in on them. 30 Then
stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague
was stayed. 31 And that was counted to him for
righteousness to all generations for ever more. 32 They
angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went
ill with Moses for their sakes: 33 Because they provoked
his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom
the LORD commanded them: 35 But were mingled among the
heathen, and learned their works. 36 And they served
their idols: which were a snare to them. 37 Yes, they
sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils, 38
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of
their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of
Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. 39 Thus
were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring
with their own inventions. 40 Therefore was the wrath of
the LORD kindled against his people, so that he abhorred his
own inheritance. 41 And he gave them into the hand of the
heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. 42
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought
into subjection under their hand. 43 Many times did he
deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and
were brought low for their iniquity. 44 Nevertheless he
regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: 45
And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented
according to the multitude of his mercies. 46 He made
them also to be pitied of all those that carried them
captives. 47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from
among the heathen, to give thanks to your holy name, and to
triumph in your praise.
114:1 When Israel went out of
Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. 3 The
sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. 4 The
mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like
lambs. 5 What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you
Jordan, that you were driven back? 6 You mountains, that
you skipped like rams; and you little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the
presence of the God of Jacob; 8 Which turned the rock
into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their
help and their shield.
132:11 The LORD has sworn in
truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of
your body will I set on your throne.
135:8 Who smote
the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. 9 Who sent
tokens and wonders into the middle of you, O Egypt, on
Pharaoh, and on all his servants. 10 Who smote great
nations, and slew mighty kings; 11 Sihon king of the
Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of
Canaan: 12 And gave their land for an heritage, an
heritage to Israel his people.
136:10 To him that
smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endures for
ever: 11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his
mercy endures for ever: 12 With a strong hand, and with a
stretched out arm: for his mercy endures for ever. 13 To
him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy
endures for ever: 14 And made Israel to pass through the
middle of it: for his mercy endures for ever: 15 But
overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy
endures for ever. 16 To him which led his people through
the wilderness: for his mercy endures for ever. 17 To him
which smote great kings: for his mercy endures for ever:
18 And slew famous kings: for his mercy endures for ever:
19 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endures for
ever: 20 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endures
for ever: 21 And gave their land for an heritage: for his
mercy endures for ever: 22 Even an heritage to Israel his
servant: for his mercy endures for ever.
Ec
1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in
Jerusalem. 12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in
Jerusalem. 16 I communed with my own heart, saying, See,
I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than
all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yes, my
heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
Song 3:9
King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof
of gold, the covering of it of purple, the middle thereof
being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem. 11
Go forth, O you daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon
with the crown with which his mother crowned him in the day
of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his
heart.
Isa
1:1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw
concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah,
Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
1:8 And
the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as
a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. 9
Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small
remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have
been like to Gomorrah.
6:1 In the year that king
Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting on a throne, high
and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
7:1
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham,
the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of
Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went
up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail
against it. 2 And it was told the house of David, saying,
Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved,
and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are
moved with the wind. 3 Then said the LORD to Isaiah, Go
forth now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at
the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of
the fuller’s field;
9:21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and
Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah.
For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is
stretched out still.
10:25 For yet a very little
while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger in
their destruction. 26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up
a whip for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the
rock of Oreb: and as his rod was on the sea, so shall he
lift it up after the manner of Egypt. 27 And it shall
come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken
away from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your
neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the
anointing. 29 They are gone over the passage: they have
taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of
Saul is fled.
13:17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes
against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for
gold, they shall not delight in it. 18 Their bows also
shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no
pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare
children. 19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the
beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God
overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
36:1 Now it came to
pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that
Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defended
cities of Judah, and took them. 2 And the king of Assyria
sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah
with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper
pool in the highway of the fuller’s field.
43:16 Thus
said the LORD, which makes a way in the sea, and a path in
the mighty waters; 17 Which brings forth the chariot and
horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together,
they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as
wick.
48:21 And they thirsted not when he led them
through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the
rock for them: he split the rock also, and the waters gushed
out.
51:1 Listen to me, you that follow after
righteousness, you that seek the LORD: look to the rock from
where you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from where
you are dig. 2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah
that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and
increased him. 3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will
comfort all her waste places; and he will make her
wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the
LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving,
and the voice of melody.
51:10 Are you not it which
has dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that has
made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass
over?
52:4 For thus said the Lord GOD, My people went
down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian
oppressed them without cause.
54:9 For this is as the
waters of Noah to me: for as I have sworn that the waters of
Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that
I would not be wroth with you, nor rebuke you.
63:11
Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people,
saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with
the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy
Spirit within him? 12 That led them by the right hand of
Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them,
to make himself an everlasting name? 13 That led them
through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they
should not stumble?
Jer
1:1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests
that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: 2 To whom
the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of
Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah
king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah
the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the carrying away of
Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
2:5 Thus said
the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that
they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and
are become vain? 6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD
that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us
through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of
pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death,
through a land that no man passed through, and where no man
dwelled? 7 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to
eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when you
entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an
abomination.
7:4 Trust you not in lying words,
saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The
temple of the LORD, are these. 12 But go you now to my
place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first,
and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people
Israel.
7:25 Since the day that your fathers came
forth out of the land of Egypt to this day I have even sent
to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early
and sending them: 26 Yet they listened not to me, nor
inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse
than their fathers.
11:1 The word that came to
Jeremiah from the LORD saying, 2 Hear you the words of
this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem; 3 And say you to them, Thus
said the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeys
not the words of this covenant, 4 Which I commanded your
fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land
of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and
do them, according to all which I command you: so shall you
be my people, and I will be your God: 5 That I may
perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give
them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day.
Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.
15:1
Then said the LORD to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood
before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast
them out of my sight, and let them go forth. 2 And it
shall come to pass, if they say to you, Where shall we go
forth? then you shall tell them, Thus said the LORD; Such as
are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to
the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine;
and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity. 3
And I will appoint over them four kinds, said the LORD: the
sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the
heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of
the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of
Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
23:14 I
have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible
thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they
strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none does
return from his wickedness; they are all of them to me as
Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
25:1
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of
Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king
of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon; 2 The which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all
the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, saying, 3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah
the son of Amon king of Judah, even to this day, that is the
three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD has come to
me, and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but
you have not listened.
26:4 And you shall say to
them, Thus said the LORD; If you will not listen to me, to
walk in my law, which I have set before you, 5 To listen
to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to
you, both rising up early, and sending them, but you have
not listened; 6 Then will I make this house like Shiloh,
and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the
earth.
26:17 Then rose up certain of the elders of
the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people,
saying, 18 Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of
Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of
Judah, saying, Thus said the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be
plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and
the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all
to death? did he not fear the LORD, and sought the LORD, and
the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced
against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our
souls.
32:20 Which have set signs and wonders in the
land of Egypt, even to this day, and in Israel, and among
other men; and have made you a name, as at this day; 21
And have brought forth your people Israel out of the land of
Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand,
and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror; 22
And have given them this land, which you did swear to their
fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not
your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done
nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you
have caused all this evil to come on them: 24 Behold the
mounts, they are come to the city to take it; and the city
is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against
it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the
pestilence: and what you have spoken is come to pass; and,
behold, you see it.
41:9 Now the pit wherein Ishmael
had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain
because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for
fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.
49:17
Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goes by it
shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues
thereof. 18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and
the neighbor cities thereof, said the LORD, no man shall
abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
50:40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor
cities thereof, said the LORD; so shall no man abide there,
neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
51:58
Thus said the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon
shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned
with fire; and the people shall labor in vain, and the folk
in the fire, and they shall be weary.
52:13 And
burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all
the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great
men, burned he with fire: 19 And the basins, and the fire
pans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks,
and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in
gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the
captain of the guard away. 20 The two pillars, one sea,
and twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which
king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of
all these vessels was without weight.
Lam
1:3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and
because of great servitude: she dwells among the heathen,
she finds no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between
the straits. 7 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her
affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that
she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the
hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries
saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths. 8 Jerusalem has
grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that
honored her despise her, because they have seen her
nakedness: yes, she sighs, and turns backward. 9 Her
filthiness is in her skirts; she remembers not her last end;
therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O
LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy has magnified
himself. 10 The adversary has spread out his hand on all
her pleasant things: for she has seen that the heathen
entered into her sanctuary, whom you did command that they
should not enter into your congregation.
4:6 For the
punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is
greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was
overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
Eze
14:12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 13
Son of man, when the land sins against me by trespassing
grievously, then will I stretch out my hand on it, and will
break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine
on it, and will cut off man and beast from it: 14 Though
these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they
should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness,
said the Lord GOD.
16:48 As I live, said the Lord
GOD, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters,
as you have done, you and your daughters. 49 Behold, this
was the iniquity of your sister Sodom, pride, fullness of
bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her
daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor
and needy. 50 And they were haughty, and committed
abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw
good.
20:5 And say to them, Thus said the Lord GOD;
In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand to the
seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in
the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand to them, saying,
I am the LORD your God; 6 In the day that I lifted up my
hand to them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into
a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and
honey, which is the glory of all lands: 9 But I worked
for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before
the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made
myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land
of Egypt. 10 Why I caused them to go forth out of the
land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. 11
And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments,
which if a man do, he shall even live in them. 12
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between
me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that
sanctify them. 13 But the house of Israel rebelled
against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my
statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do,
he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly
polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury on them in
the wilderness, to consume them. 14 But I worked for my
name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the
heathen, in whose sight I brought them out. 15 Yet also I
lifted up my hand to them in the wilderness, that I would
not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing
with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands; 16
Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my
statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went
after their idols.
23:19 Yet she multiplied her
prostitutions, in calling to remembrance the days of her
youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of
Egypt.
24:21 Speak to the house of Israel, Thus said
the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the
excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and
that which your soul pities; and your sons and your
daughters whom you have left shall fall by the sword.
25:3 And say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord
GOD; Thus said the Lord GOD; Because you said, Aha, against
my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of
Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of
Judah, when they went into captivity;
28:3 Behold,
you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can
hide from you:
31:8 The cedars in the garden of God
could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs,
and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any
tree in the garden of God was like to him in his beauty.
9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so
that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God,
envied him. 18 To whom are you thus like in glory and in
greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shall you be brought
down with the trees of Eden to the nether parts of the
earth: you shall lie in the middle of the uncircumcised with
them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his
multitude, said the Lord GOD.
33:21 And it came to
pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth
month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had
escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is
smitten.
33:24 Son of man, they that inhabit those
wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one,
and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is
given us for inheritance.
Dan 1:1 In the third year of
the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it. 2 And the
Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part
of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into
the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought
the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
5:1
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his
lords, and drank wine before the thousand. 2 Belshazzar,
whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and
silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out
of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his
princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out
of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem;
and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his
concubines, drank in them. 13 Then was Daniel brought in
before the king. And the king spoke and said to Daniel, Are
you that Daniel, which are of the children of the captivity
of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
5:28 PERES; Your kingdom is divided, and given to the
Medes and Persians. 29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and
they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold
about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that
he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. 30 In that
night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. 31
And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about three
score and two years old.
8:1 In the third year of the
reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me
Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first. 2
And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that
I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of
Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
3 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there
stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the
two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and
the higher came up last. 4 I saw the ram pushing
westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts
might stand before him, neither was there any that could
deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will,
and became great. 5 And as I was considering, behold, an
he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth,
and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn
between his eyes. 6 And he came to the ram that had two
horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran
to him in the fury of his power. 7 And I saw him come
close to the ram, and he was moved with choler against him,
and smote the ram, and broke his two horns: and there was no
power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down
to the ground, and stamped on him: and there was none that
could deliver the ram out of his hand. 8 Therefore the he
goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great
horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward
the four winds of heaven.
8:19 And he said, Behold, I
will make you know what shall be in the last end of the
indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
20 The ram which you saw having two horns are the kings of
Media and Persia. 21 And the rough goat is the king of
Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the
first king. 22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood
up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation,
but not in his power.
9:1 In the first year of Darius
the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was
made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; 2 In the first
year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of
the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the
prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the
desolations of Jerusalem.
9:11 Yes, all Israel have
transgressed your law, even by departing, that they might
not obey your voice; therefore the curse is poured on us,
and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant
of God, because we have sinned against him. 12 And he has
confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against
our judges that judged us, by bringing on us a great evil:
for under the whole heaven has not been done as has been
done on Jerusalem. 13 As it is written in the law of
Moses, all this evil is come on us: yet made we not our
prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our
iniquities, and understand your truth. 14 Therefore has
the LORD watched on the evil, and brought it on us: for the
LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he does:
for we obeyed not his voice. 15 And now, O Lord our God,
that have brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt
with a mighty hand, and have gotten you renown, as at this
day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
11:2 And
now will I show you the truth. Behold, there shall stand up
yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far
richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches
he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. 3 And a
mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great
dominion, and do according to his will. 4 And when he
shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be
divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his
posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for
his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside
those.
Hos
1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Hosea, the son of
Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah,
kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of
Joash, king of Israel.
2:15 And I will give her her
vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of
hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth,
and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
12:2 The LORD has also a controversy with Judah, and
will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his
doings will he recompense him. 3 He took his brother by
the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with
God: 4 Yes, he had power over the angel, and prevailed:
he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in
Bethel, and there he spoke with us;
12:12 And Jacob
fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a
wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. 13 And by a prophet
the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was
he preserved.
13:4 Yet I am the LORD your God from
the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god but me: for
there is no savior beside me.
Joel
2:3 A fire devours before them; and behind them a flame
burns: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and
behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and nothing shall
escape them.
Am
1:1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa,
which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of
Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of
Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2:9 Yet
destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like
the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet
I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from
beneath. 10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt,
and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess
the land of the Amorite.
3:1 Hear this word that the
LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against
the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt,
saying, 2 You only have I known of all the families of
the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your
iniquities.
4:11 I have overthrown some of you, as
God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a
firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have you not
returned to me, said the LORD.
5:25 Have you offered
to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty
years, O house of Israel? 26 But you have borne the
tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of
your god, which you made to yourselves.
7:16 Now
therefore hear you the word of the LORD: You say, Prophesy
not against Israel, and drop not your word against the house
of Isaac. 17 Therefore thus said the LORD; Your wife
shall be an harlot in the city, and your sons and your
daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be
divided by line; and you shall die in a polluted land: and
Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
9:7 Are you not as children of the Ethiopians to me, O
children of Israel? said the LORD. Have not I brought up
Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from
Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
Ob
1:8 Shall I not in that day, said the LORD, even destroy the
wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of
Esau? 9 And your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed,
to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut
off by slaughter. 10 For your violence against your
brother Jacob shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut
off for ever.
Mic
1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite
in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah,
which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
6:4
For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed
you out of the house of servants; and I sent before you
Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. 5 O my people, remember now
what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son
of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal; that you may
know the righteousness of the LORD.
6:16 For the
statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of
Ahab, and you walk in their counsels; that I should make you
a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing:
therefore you shall bear the reproach of my people.
7:15 According to the days of your coming out of the land of
Egypt will I show to him marvelous things. 20 You will
perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which
you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
Zep 1:1 The
word of the LORD which came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi,
the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah,
in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
2:8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings
of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my
people, and magnified themselves against their border. 9
Therefore as I live, said the LORD of hosts, the God of
Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of
Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and salt
pits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people
shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess
them.
Hag
1:1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth
month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the
LORD by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of
Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of
Josedech, the high priest, saying,
2:1 In the seventh
month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the
word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying, 2 Speak
now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah,
and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to
the residue of the people, saying, 3 Who is left among
you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do you
see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as
nothing? 4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, said the
LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high
priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, said the
LORD, and work: for I am with you, said the LORD of hosts:
5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when you
came out of Egypt, so my spirit remains among you: fear you
not.
Zec
7:7 Should you not hear the words which the LORD has cried
by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in
prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men
inhabited the south and the plain?
14:5 And you shall
flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the
mountains shall reach to Azal: yes, you shall flee, like as
you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah
king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the
saints with you.
Mal
1:2 I have loved you, said the LORD. Yet you say, Wherein
have you loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? said the
LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
4:4 Remember you the law of
Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all
Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5 Behold, I will
send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great
and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the
heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the
children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth
with a curse.
Giants
Gen
6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the
face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were
fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with
man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an
hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the
earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of
God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children
to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men
of renown.
Num 13:27 And they told him, and
said, We came to the land where you sent us, and surely it
flows with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land,
and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we
saw the children of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites dwell
in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the
Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the
Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let
us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to
overcome it. 31 But the men that went up with him said,
We be not able to go up against the people; for they are
stronger than we. 32 And they brought up an evil report
of the land which they had searched to the children of
Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to
search it, is a land that eats up the inhabitants thereof;
and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great
stature. 33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of
Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight
as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
De
3:11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant
of giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it
not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the
length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the
cubit of a man.
9:1 Hear, O Israel: You are to pass
over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater
and mightier than yourself, cities great and fenced up to
heaven, 2 A people great and tall, the children of the
Anakims, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, Who
can stand before the children of Anak!
Jos
11:1 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims
from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and
from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains
of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
22 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the
children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod,
there remained.
1 Sam 17:4 And there went out
a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named
Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5 And he had an helmet of brass on his head, and he was
armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was
five thousand shekels of brass. 6 And he had greaves of
brass on his legs, and a target of brass between his
shoulders. 7 And the staff of his spear was like a
weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred
shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
8 And he stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said
to them, Why are you come out to set your battle in array?
am not I a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? choose you
a man for you, and let him come down to me.
2 Sam
21:18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a
battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the
Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.
19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines,
where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew
the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear
was like a weaver’s beam. 20 And there was yet a battle
in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every
hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and
twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant. 21
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the
brother of David slew him. 22 These four were born to the
giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the
hand of his servants.
1 Ch 11:22 Benaiah the
son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who
had done many acts; he slew two lion like men of Moab: also
he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day. 23
And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits
high; and in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s
beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the
spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own
spear.
Am 2:9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite
before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars,
and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit
from above, and his roots from beneath. 10 Also I brought
you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years
through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
Conscience
Joh 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up
himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you,
let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped
down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it,
being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by
one, beginning at the oldest, even to the last: and Jesus
was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle.
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel
know assuredly, that God has made the same Jesus, whom you
have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37 Now when they
heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to
Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brothers,
what shall we do?
23:1 And Paul, earnestly beholding
the council, said, Men and brothers, I have lived in all
good conscience before God until this day.
24:14 But
this I confess to you, that after the way which they call
heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all
things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also
allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both
of the just and unjust. 16 And herein do I exercise
myself, to have always a conscience void to offense toward
God, and toward men.
Rom 2:14 For when the
Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things
contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law
to themselves: 15 Which show the work of the law written
in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and
their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one
another;) 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets
of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
9:1 I
say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also
bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2 That I have great
heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 For I could
wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers,
my kinsmen according to the flesh:
13:3 For rulers
are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you
then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and
you shall have praise of the same: 4 For he is the
minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is
evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he
is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath on him
that does evil. 5 Why you must needs be subject, not only
for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
14:22 Have
you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that
comdemns not himself in that thing which he allows. 23
And he that doubts is damned if he eat, because he eats not
of faith: for whatever is not of faith is sin.
1
Cor 8:7 However, there is not in every man that
knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol to this hour
eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience
being weak is defiled. 8 But meat commends us not to God:
for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we
eat not, are we the worse. 9 But take heed lest by any
means this liberty of your’s become a stumbling block to
them that are weak. 10 For if any man see you which have
knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the
conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those
things which are offered to idols; 11 And through your
knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ
died? 12 But when you sin so against the brothers, and
wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13
Why, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh
while the world stands, lest I make my brother to offend.
10:25 Whatever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking
no question for conscience sake: 26 For the earth is the
Lord’s, and the fullness thereof. 27 If any of them that
believe not bid you to a feast, and you be disposed to go;
whatever is set before you, eat, asking no question for
conscience sake. 28 But if any man say to you, This is
offered in sacrifice to idols, eat not for his sake that
showed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the
Lord’s, and the fullness thereof: 29 Conscience, I say,
not your own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged
of another man’s conscience? 30 For if I by grace be a
partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give
thanks?
2 Cor 1:12 For our rejoicing is this,
the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and
godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace
of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more
abundantly to you-ward.
4:1 Therefore seeing we have
this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not
walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God
deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending
ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we
persuade men; but we are made manifest to God; and I trust
also are made manifest in your consciences.
1 Tim
1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure
heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside to vain
jangling; 7 Desiring to be teachers of the law;
understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they
affirm.
1:18 This charge I commit to you, son
Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on
you, that you by them might war a good warfare; 19
Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put
away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
3:8
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double-tongued, not
given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 Holding
the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
4:1
Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times
some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in
hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
2 Tim 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve from my
forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I
have remembrance of you in my prayers night and day;
Tit 1:15 To the pure all things are pure: but to them
that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even
their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess
that they know God; but in works they deny him, being
abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work
reprobate.
Heb 9:9 Which was a figure for the
time then present, in which were offered both gifts and
sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service
perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10 Which stood
only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal
ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to
God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the
living God?
10:21 And having an high priest over the
house of God; 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in
full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an
evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
13:18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good
conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
1 Pe 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with
all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the
fraudulent. 19 For this is thank worthy, if a man for
conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be
ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a
reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil
of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely
accuse your good conversation in Christ. 17 For it is
better, if the will of God be so, that you suffer for well
doing, than for evil doing.
3:21 The like figure
whereunto even baptism does also now save us (not the
putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a
good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus
Christ:
1 Joh 3:19 And hereby we know that we
are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our
heart, and knows all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart
condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
1 Sam 24:4 And the men of David said to him, Behold
the day of which the LORD said to you, Behold, I will
deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as
it shall seem good to you. Then David arose, and cut off the
skirt of Saul’s robe privately. 5 And it came to pass
afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut
off Saul’s skirt. 6 And he said to his men, The LORD
forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD’s
anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, seeing he is
the anointed of the LORD.
2 Sam 24:9 And Joab
gave up the sum of the number of the people to the king: and
there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that
drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred
thousand men. 10 And David’s heart smote him after that
he had numbered the people. And David said to the LORD, I
have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech
you, O LORD, take away the iniquity of your servant; for I
have done very foolishly.
1 Ki 8:38 What
prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all
your people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of
his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
39 Then hear you in heaven your dwelling place, and forgive,
and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose
heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of
all the children of men;)
Job 27:5 God forbid
that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove my
integrity from me. 6 My righteousness I hold fast, and
will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long
as I live.
Letters of Paul
Rom 15:15 Nevertheless, brothers, I have written
the more boldly to you in some sort, as putting you in mind,
because of the grace that is given to me of God,
16:21 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and
Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you. 22 I Tertius, who
wrote this letter, salute you in the Lord.
1 Cor
4:14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my
beloved sons I warn you. 15 For though you have ten
thousand instructors in Christ, yet have you not many
fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the
gospel.
5:9 I wrote to you in an letter not to
company with fornicators:
16:20 All the brothers
greet you. Greet you one another with an holy kiss. 21
The salutation of me Paul with my own hand.
2 Cor
1:13 For we write none other things to you, than what you
read or acknowledge; and I trust you shall acknowledge even
to the end;
2:3 And I wrote this same to you, lest,
when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought
to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the
joy of you all. 4 For out of much affliction and anguish
of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that you should
be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have
more abundantly to you. 9 For to this end also did I
write, that I might know the proof of you, whether you be
obedient in all things.
7:8 For though I made you
sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent:
for I perceive that the same letter has made you sorry,
though it were but for a season.
7:12 Why, though I
wrote to you, I did it not for his cause that had done the
wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our
care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.
10:9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by
letters. 10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and
powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech
contemptible. 11 Let such an one think this, that, such
as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will
we be also in deed when we are present.
13:10
Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being
present I should use sharpness, according to the power which
the Lord has given me to edification, and not to
destruction.
Gal 6:11 You see how large a
letter I have written to you with my own hand.
Php
3:1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the
same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for
you it is safe.
Col 4:15 Salute the brothers
which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is
in his house. 16 And when this letter is read among you,
cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans;
and that you likewise read the letter from Laodicea. 18
The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds.
Grace be with you. Amen.
1 Th 5:27 I charge
you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy
brothers.
2 Th 2:1 Now we beseech you,
brothers, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our
gathering together to him, 2 That you be not soon shaken
in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor
by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2:15 Therefore, brothers, stand fast, and hold the
traditions which you have been taught, whether by word, or
our letter.
3:14 And if any man obey not our word by
this letter, note that man, and have no company with him,
that he may be ashamed.
3:17 The salutation of Paul
with my own hand, which is the token in every letter: so I
write.
Phm 1:19 I Paul have written it with my
own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to you how
you owe to me even your own self besides. 20 Yes,
brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: refresh my
bowels in the Lord. 21 Having confidence in your
obedience I wrote to you, knowing that you will also do more
than I say.
Heb 13:22 And I beseech you,
brothers, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written
a letter to you in few words. 23 Know you that our
brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come
shortly, I will see you. 24 Salute all them that have the
rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
2 Pe 3:15 And account that the long-suffering of
our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also
according to the wisdom given to him has written to you;
16 As also in all his letters, speaking in them of these
things; in which are some things hard to be understood,
which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do
also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. 17
You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before,
beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the
wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
Building
Mt
7:24 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does
them, I will liken him to a wise man, which built his house
on a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods
came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it
fell not: for it was founded on a rock. 26 And every one
that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall
be likened to a foolish man, which built his house on the
sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell: and
great was the fall of it. 28 And it came to pass, when
Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at
his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having
authority, and not as the scribes.
21:42 Jesus said
to them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone
which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of
the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in
our eyes?
Lu 14:27 And whoever does not bear
his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not down
first, and counts the cost, whether he have sufficient to
finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he has laid the
foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it
begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began to build,
and was not able to finish.
17:28 Likewise also as it
was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they
bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 But the
same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and
brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Rom
15:20 Yes, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where
Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s
foundation: 21 But as it is written, To whom he was not
spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard
shall understand.
1 Cor 3:9 For we are
laborers together with God: you are God’s husbandry, you are
God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which is
given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the
foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man
take heed how he builds thereupon. 11 For other
foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ. 12 Now if any man build on this foundation gold,
silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every
man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare
it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall
try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s
work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a
reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall
suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by
fire.
Eph 2:19 Now therefore you are no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the
saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built on
the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the
building fitly framed together grows to an holy temple in
the Lord: 22 In whom you also are built together for an
habitation of God through the Spirit.
4:11 And he
gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ: 15 But speaking the
truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is
the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly
joined together and compacted by that which every joint
supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure
of every part, makes increase of the body to the edifying of
itself in love.
Heb 3:3 For this man was
counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who
has built the house has more honor than the house. 4 For
every house is built by some man; but he that built all
things is God.
11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of
God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an
ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned
the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by
faith.
11:10 For he looked for a city which has
foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
1 Pe
2:4 To whom coming, as to a living stone, disallowed indeed
of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 You also, as
lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy
priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to
God by Jesus Christ. 6 Why also it is contained in the
scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone,
elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be
confounded. 7 To you therefore which believe he is
precious: but to them which be disobedient, the stone which
the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the
corner,
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had
twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve
apostles of the Lamb.
Ps 118:22 The stone
which the builders refused is become the head stone of the
corner. 23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in
our eyes. 24 This is the day which the LORD has made; we
will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save now, I beseech
you, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech you, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD: we have
blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
Isa
28:16 Therefore thus said the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in
Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious
corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not
make haste.
Peace
Mt
5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be
called the children of God.
10:11 And into whatever
city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy;
and there abide till you go there. 12 And when you come
into an house, salute it. 13 And if the house be worthy,
let your peace come on it: but if it be not worthy, let your
peace return to you.
10:34 Think not that I am come
to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a
sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against
his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the
daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man’s
foes shall be they of his own household.
11:28 Come
to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest. 29 Take my yoke on you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to
your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is
light.
Mr 9:49 For every one shall be salted
with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltiness,
with which will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and
have peace one with another.
Lu 2:13 And
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God
in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
7:50 And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you;
go in peace.
10:5 And into whatever house you enter,
first say, Peace be to this house. 6 And if the son of
peace be there, your peace shall rest on it: if not, it
shall turn to you again.
14:31 Or what king, going to
make war against another king, sits not down first, and
consults whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him
that comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else,
while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an
ambassador, and desires conditions of peace.
24:36
And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the middle of
them, and said to them, Peace be to you.
Joh
14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as
the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid.
16:33 These
things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have
peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of
good cheer; I have overcome the world.
20:19 Then the
same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when
the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for
fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the middle, and
said to them, Peace be to you. 20 And when he had so
said, he showed to them his hands and his side. Then were
the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD. 21 Then said
Jesus to them again, Peace be to you: as my Father has sent
me, even so send I you. 26 And after eight days again his
disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came
Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the middle, and
said, Peace be to you.
Acts 9:31 Then had the
churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria,
and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and
in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our
Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2:10 But glory,
honor, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Jew
first, and also to the Gentile:
3:15 Their feet are
swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in
their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ:
8:6 For to be carnally
minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and
peace.
12:18 If it be possible, as much as lies in
you, live peaceably with all men.
14:16 Let not then
your good be evil spoken of: 17 For the kingdom of God is
not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in
the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serves
Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19 Let
us therefore follow after the things which make for peace,
and things with which one may edify another.
15:13
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of
the Holy Ghost. 33 Now the God of peace be with you all.
Amen.
16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan
under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with you. Amen.
1 Cor 7:15 But if the
unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is
not under bondage in such cases: but God has called us to
peace.
14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are
subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the author of
confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
2 Cor 7:5 For, when we were come into Macedonia,
our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side;
without were fights, within were fears. 6 Nevertheless
God, that comforts those that are cast down, comforted us by
the coming of Titus;
13:11 Finally, brothers,
farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind,
live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with
you.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no
law.
6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule,
peace be on them, and mercy, and on the Israel of God.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who has made both
one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition
between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,
even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to
make in himself of two one new man, so making peace; 16
And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the
cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and
preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that
were near. 18 For through him we both have access by one
Spirit to the Father.
4:3 Endeavoring to keep the
unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
6:15 And
your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Php 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our
Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4:6 Be
careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made
known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which passes all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus.
4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things
are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are
just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely,
whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9
Those things, which you have both learned, and received, and
heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be
with you.
Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father
that in him should all fullness dwell; 20 And, having
made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to
reconcile all things to himself; by him, I say, whether they
be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21 And you, that
were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked
works, yet now has he reconciled
3:14 And above all
these things put on charity, which is the bond of
perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your
hearts, to the which also you are called in one body; and be
you thankful.

say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes on
them, as travail on a woman with child; and they shall not
escape.

for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
1 Tim 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks,
be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in
authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in
all godliness and honesty.
2 Tim 2:22 Flee
also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith,
charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a
pure heart.

men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep,
through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Jas
3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then
peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy
and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

that make peace.
1 Pe 3:3 Whose adorning let
it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of
wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let
it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not
corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price.
3:10 For
he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain
his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

ensue it.
2 Pe 1:2 Grace and peace be
multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus
our Lord, 3 According as his divine power has given to us

knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue:

multiplied.
Rev 6:2 And I saw, and behold a
white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown
was given to him: and he went forth conquering, and to
conquer. 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I
heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there
went out another horse that was red: and power was given to
him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that
they should kill one another: and there was given to him a
great sword.

Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, On this wise you
shall bless the children of Israel, saying to them, 24
The LORD bless you, and keep you: 25 The LORD make his
face shine on you, and be gracious to you: 26 The LORD
lift up his countenance on you, and give you peace. 27
And they shall put my name on the children of Israel, and I
will bless them.
De 28:65 And among these
nations shall you find no ease, neither shall the sole of
your foot have rest: but the LORD shall give you there a
trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
66 And your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you
shall fear day and night, and shall have none assurance of
your life:
Judges 6:22 And when Gideon
perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said,
Alas, O LORD God! for because I have seen an angel of the
LORD face to face. 23 And the LORD said to him, Peace be
to you; fear not: you shall not die. 24 Then Gideon built
an altar there to the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: to
this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

me, and that which I was afraid of is come to me. 26 I

down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope
you in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of
my countenance, and my God.

go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of
the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will
teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out
of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD
from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall judge among the nations,
and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their
swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks:
nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall
they learn war any more.
9:6 For to us a child is
born, to us a son is given: and the government shall be on
his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and
peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on
his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment
and with justice from now on even for ever. The zeal of the
LORD of hosts will perform this.
26:3 You will keep
him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because
he trusts in you. 4 Trust you in the LORD for ever: for
in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
30:15
For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In
returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in
confidence shall be your strength: and you would not. 16
But you said, No; for we will flee on horses; therefore
shall you flee: and, We will ride on the swift; therefore
shall they that pursue you be swift.
32:17 And the
work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of
righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 18 And my
people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure
dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
33:7 Behold,
their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of
peace shall weep bitterly.
48:17 Thus said the LORD,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD your
God which teaches you to profit, which leads you by the way
that you should go. 18 O that you had listened to my
commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your
righteousness as the waves of the sea: 22 There is no
peace, said the LORD, to the wicked.
52:7 How
beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him that brings
good tidings, that publishes peace; that brings good tidings
of good, that publishes salvation; that said to Zion, Your
God reigns!
53:5 But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes
we are healed.
54:10 For the mountains shall depart,
and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart
from you, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed,
said the LORD that has mercy on you. 13 And all your
children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the
peace of your children.
57:18 I have seen his ways,
and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore
comforts to him and to his mourners. 19 I create the
fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and
to him that is near, said the LORD; and I will heal him.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot
rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 21 There is no
peace, said my God, to the wicked.
59:7 Their feet
run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood:
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and
destruction are in their paths. 8 The way of peace they
know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they
have made them crooked paths: whoever goes therein shall not
know peace.
60:17 For brass I will bring gold, and
for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for
stones iron: I will also make your officers peace, and your
exactors righteousness. 18 Violence shall no more be
heard in your land, wasting nor destruction within your
borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your
gates Praise.
66:12 For thus said the LORD, Behold, I
will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the
Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall you suck, you
shall be borne on her sides, and be dandled on her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you;
and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Jer
6:14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my
people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no
peace. 15 Were they ashamed when they had committed
abomination? no, they were not at all ashamed, neither could
they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall:
at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, said
the LORD. 16 Thus said the LORD, Stand you in the ways,
and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way,
and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls.
But they said, We will not walk therein.
16:5 For
thus said the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning,
neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away
my peace from this people, said the LORD, even loving
kindness and mercies.
29:11 For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you, said the LORD, thoughts of peace,
and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Mic
4:1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the
mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in
the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the
hills; and people shall flow to it. 2 And many nations
shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain
of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he
will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths:
for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD
from Jerusalem. 3 And he shall judge among many people,
and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat
their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning
hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more. 4 But they shall
sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and
none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of
hosts has spoken it.
Zec 9:9 Rejoice greatly,
O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold,
your King comes to you: he is just, and having salvation;
lowly, and riding on an ass, and on a colt the foal of an
ass. 10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and
the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut
off: and he shall speak peace to the heathen: and his
dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river
even to the ends of the earth.
Mal 2:4 And you
shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my
covenant might be with Levi, said the LORD of hosts. 5 My
covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to
him for the fear with which he feared me, and was afraid
before my name.
Blessing
Mt
14:15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him,
saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past;
send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages,
and buy themselves victuals. 16 But Jesus said to them,
They need not depart; give you them to eat. 17 And they
say to him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring them here to me. 19 And he commanded
the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five
loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he
blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples,
and the disciples to the multitude. 20 And they did all
eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that
remained twelve baskets full. 21 And they that had eaten
were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
21:9 And the multitudes that went before, and that
followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David:
Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in
the highest.
26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus

pray for them which spitefully use you.

led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his
hands, and blessed them. 51 And it came to pass, while he
blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into
heaven.
Acts 3:25 You are the children of the
prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our

turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of
Christ.
1 Cor 4:11 Even to this present hour
we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted,
and have no certain dwelling place; 12 And labor, working
with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being
persecuted, we suffer it:
10:16 The cup of blessing
which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of
Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of
the body of Christ?
Gal 3:8 And the scripture,
foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith,
preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying, In you shall
all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith
are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10 For as many as are
of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is
written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all
things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law,
being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is
every one that hangs on a tree: 14 That the blessing of
Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through
faith.
Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all
spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Heb 6:7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that
comes oft on it, and brings forth herbs meet for them by
whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God: 8 But
that which bears thorns and briers is rejected, and is near
to cursing; whose end is to be burned.
6:13 For when
God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no
greater, he swore by himself, 14 Saying, Surely blessing
I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you. 15
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the
promise.
7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem,
priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from
the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 6 But he
whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of
Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. 7 And
without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
11:20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning
things to come. 21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying,
blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning on
the top of his staff.
12:16 Lest there be any
fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel
of meat sold his birthright. 17 For you know how that
afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was
rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he
sought it carefully with tears.
1 Pe 3:9 Not
rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but
contrariwise blessing; knowing that you are thereunto
called, that you should inherit a blessing.
Gen
1:28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue
it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves on
the earth.
5:1 This is the book of the generations of
Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of
God made he him; 2 Male and female created he them; and
blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when
they were created.
9:1 And God blessed Noah and his
sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth.
12:1 Now the LORD had said to
Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred,
and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show
you: 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will
bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a
blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless you, and
curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of
the earth be blessed.
14:18 And Melchizedek king of
Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of
the most high God. 19 And he blessed him, and said,
Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven
and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God, which has
delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him
tithes of all.
22:15 And the angel of the LORD called
to Abraham out of heaven the second time, 16 And said, By
myself have I sworn, said the LORD, for because you have
done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only
son: 17 That in blessing I will bless you, and in
multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the
heaven, and as the sand which is on the sea shore; and your
seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in
your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
because you have obeyed my voice.
24:1 And Abraham
was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed
Abraham in all things.
26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that
land, and received in the same year an hundred times: and
the LORD blessed him. 13 And the man waxed great, and
went forward, and grew until he became very great:
27:8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that
which I command you. 9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me
from there two good kids of the goats; and I will make them
savoury meat for your father, such as he loves: 10 And
you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, and that
he may bless you before his death. 11 And Jacob said to
Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man,
and I am a smooth man: 12 My father peradventure will
feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall
bring a curse on me, and not a blessing. 13 And his
mother said to him, On me be your curse, my son: only obey
my voice, and go fetch me them.
27:27 And he came
near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his
raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son
is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed: 28
Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven, and the fatness
of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: 29 Let people
serve you, and nations bow down to you: be lord over your
brothers, and let your mother’s sons bow down to you: cursed
be every one that curses you, and blessed be he that blesses
you. 30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an
end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out
from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother
came in from his hunting. 31 And he also had made savoury
meat, and brought it to his father, and said to his father,
Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your
soul may bless me. 32 And Isaac his father said to him,
Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn
Esau. 33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said,
Who? where is he that has taken venison, and brought it me,
and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed
him? yes, and he shall be blessed. 34 And when Esau heard
the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding
bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me, even me also,
O my father. 35 And he said, Your brother came with
subtlety, and has taken away your blessing. 36 And he
said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he has supplanted
me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold,
now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not
reserved a blessing for me? 37 And Isaac answered and
said to Esau, Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his
brothers have I given to him for servants; and with corn and
wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now to you,
my son? 38 And Esau said to his father, Have you but one
blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father.
And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
32:24 And
Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him
until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he
prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his
thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as
he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let me go, for the
day breaks. And he said, I will not let you go, except you
bless me. 27 And he said to him, What is your name? And
he said, Jacob. 28 And he said, Your name shall be called
no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince have you power
with God and with men, and have prevailed. 29 And Jacob
asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray you, your name. And he
said, Why is it that you do ask after my name? And he
blessed him there.
39:2 And the LORD was with Joseph,
and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his
master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the LORD
was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to
prosper in his hand.
48:8 And Israel beheld Joseph’s
sons, and said, Who are these? 9 And Joseph said to his
father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this
place. And he said, Bring them, I pray you, to me, and I
will bless them.
49:25 Even by the God of your
father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall
bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the
deep that lies under, blessings of the breasts, and of the
womb: 26 The blessings of your father have prevailed
above the blessings of my progenitors to the utmost bound of
the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph,
and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from
his brothers. 28 All these are the twelve tribes of
Israel: and this is it that their father spoke to them, and
blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed
them.
Ex 20:10 But the seventh day is the
sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any
work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant,
nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger
that is within your gates: 11 For in six days the LORD
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and
rested the seventh day: why the LORD blessed the sabbath
day, and hallowed it.
23:25 And you shall serve the
LORD your God, and he shall bless your bread, and your
water; and I will take sickness away from the middle of you.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in
your land: the number of your days I will fulfill. 27 I
will send my fear before you, and will destroy all the
people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your
enemies turn their backs to you.
Lev 9:22 And
Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed
them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and
the burnt offering, and peace offerings. 23 And Moses and
Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came
out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD
appeared to all the people.
25:18 Why you shall do my
statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and you shall
dwell in the land in safety. 19 And the land shall yield
her fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in
safety. 20 And if you shall say, What shall we eat the
seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our
increase: 21 Then I will command my blessing on you in
the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three
years.
26:3 If you walk in my statutes, and keep my
commandments, and do them; 4 Then I will give you rain in
due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the
trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your
threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall
reach to the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to
the full, and dwell in your land safely. 6 And I will
give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none
shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the
land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 7 And
you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you
by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase an hundred,
and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and
your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9 For I
will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and
multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. 10 And
you shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of
the new.
Num 6:22 And the LORD spoke to Moses,
saying, 23 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, On
this wise you shall bless the children of Israel, saying to
them, 24 The LORD bless you, and keep you: 25 The LORD
make his face shine on you, and be gracious to you: 26
The LORD lift up his countenance on you, and give you peace.
27 And they shall put my name on the children of Israel, and
I will bless them.
22:6 Come now therefore, I pray
you, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me:
peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and
that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he
whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.
12 And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you
shall not curse the people: for they are blessed.
23:5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said,
Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak. 6 And he
returned to him, and, see, he stood by his burnt sacrifice,
he, and all the princes of Moab. 7 And he took up his
parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab has brought me
from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come,
curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel. 8 How shall I
curse, whom God has not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom
the LORD has not defied? 9 For from the top of the rocks
I see him, and from the hills I behold him: see, the people
shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the
nations. 10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the
number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of
the righteous, and let my last end be like his! 11 And
Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I took you
to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have blessed them
altogether. 12 And he answered and said, Must I not take
heed to speak that which the LORD has put in my mouth? 20
Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he has
blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
24:1 And when
Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went
not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set
his face toward the wilderness. 2 And Balaam lifted up
his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according
to their tribes; and the spirit of God came on him. 3 And
he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor has
said, and the man whose eyes are open has said: 4 He has
said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of
the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes
open: 5 How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, and your
tabernacles, O Israel! 6 As the valleys are they spread
forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign
aloes which the LORD has planted, and as cedar trees beside
the waters. 7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets,
and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be
higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. 8 God
brought him forth out of Egypt; he has as it were the
strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his
enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them
through with his arrows. 9 He couched, he lay down as a
lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is
he that blesses you, and cursed is he that curses you.
De 2:7 For the LORD your God has blessed you in
all the works of your hand: he knows your walking through
this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD your God
has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
7:13 And
he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you: he will
also bless the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your
land, your corn, and your wine, and your oil, the increase
of your cows, and the flocks of your sheep, in the land
which he swore to your fathers to give you. 14 You shall
be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or
female barren among you, or among your cattle. 15 And the
LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will put none
of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you; but
will lay them on all them that hate you.
8:17 And you
say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has
gotten me this wealth. 18 But you shall remember the LORD
your God: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth,
that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your
fathers, as it is this day.
11:26 Behold, I set
before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27 A
blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God,
which I command you this day: 28 And a curse, if you will
not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn
aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go
after other gods, which you have not known.
15:4 Save
when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall
greatly bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives
you for an inheritance to possess it: 5 Only if you
carefully listen to the voice of the LORD your God, to
observe to do all these commandments which I command you
this day. 6 For the LORD your God blesses you, as he
promised you: and you shall lend to many nations, but you
shall not borrow; and you shall reign over many nations, but
they shall not reign over you. 10 You shall surely give
him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to
him: because that for this thing the LORD your God shall
bless you in all your works, and in all that you put your
hand to.
28:1 And it shall come to pass, if you shall
listen diligently to the voice of the LORD your God, to
observe and to do all his commandments which I command you
this day, that the LORD your God will set you on high above
all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall
come on you, and overtake you, if you shall listen to the
voice of the LORD your God. 3 Blessed shall you be in the
city, and blessed shall you be in the field. 4 Blessed
shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your
ground, and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your
cows, and the flocks of your sheep. 5 Blessed shall be
your basket and your store. 6 Blessed shall you be when
you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. 7
The LORD shall cause your enemies that rise up against you
to be smitten before your face: they shall come out against
you one way, and flee before you seven ways. 8 The LORD
shall command the blessing on you in your storehouses, and
in all that you set your hand to; and he shall bless you in
the land which the LORD your God gives you. 9 The LORD
shall establish you an holy people to himself, as he has
sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of the LORD
your God, and walk in his ways. 10 And all people of the
earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD;
and they shall be afraid of you. 11 And the LORD shall
make you plenteous in goods, in the fruit of your body, and
in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your
ground, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to
give you. 12 The LORD shall open to you his good
treasure, the heaven to give the rain to your land in his
season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you
shall lend to many nations, and you shall not borrow. 13
And the LORD shall make you the head, and not the tail; and
you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if
that you listen to the commandments of the LORD your God,
which I command you this day, to observe and to do them:
14 And you shall not go aside from any of the words which I
command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to
go after other gods to serve them. 15 But it shall come
to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of the LORD
your God, to observe to do all his commandments and his
statutes which I command you this day; that all these curses
shall come on you, and overtake you:
30:19 I call
heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have
set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live:
1 Sam 2:7 The LORD makes poor, and makes rich: he
brings low, and lifts up.
2 Sam 6:11 And the
ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the
Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all
his household. 12 And it was told king David, saying, The
LORD has blessed the house of Obededom, and all that
pertains to him, because of the ark of God. So David went
and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom
into the city of David with gladness.
1 Ch
4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that
you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that
your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from
evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that
which he requested.
29:12 Both riches and honor come
of you, and you reign over all; and in your hand is power
and might; and in your hand it is to make great, and to give
strength to all. 13 Now therefore, our God, we thank you,
and praise your glorious name. 14 But who am I, and what
is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly
after this sort? for all things come of you, and of your own
have we given you.
Neh 13:1 On that day they
read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and
therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite
should not come into the congregation of God for ever; 2
Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and
with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should
curse them: however, our God turned the curse into a
blessing.
Job 1:9 Then Satan answered the
LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have
not you made an hedge about him, and about his house, and
about all that he has on every side? you have blessed the
work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the
land.
42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job
more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep,
and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a
thousand she asses. 13 He had also seven sons and three
daughters.
Ps 3:8 Salvation belongs to the
LORD: your blessing is on your people. Selah.
29:11
The LORD will give strength to his people; the LORD will
bless his people with peace.
37:25 I have been young,
and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his seed begging bread. 26 He is ever merciful, and
lends; and his seed is blessed.

to us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine on us;
Selah. 2 That your way may be known on earth, your saving
health among all nations.
84:5 Blessed is the man
whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the ways of
them. 6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a
well; the rain also fills the pools. 7 They go from
strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appears
before God.
109:16 Because that he remembered not to
show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he
might even slay the broken in heart. 17 As he loved
cursing, so let it come to him: as he delighted not in
blessing, so let it be far from him. 18 As he clothed
himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it
come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his
bones.
109:28 Let them curse, but bless you: when
they arise, let them be ashamed; but let your servant
rejoice.
112:1 Praise you the LORD. Blessed is the
man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in his
commandments. 2 His seed shall be mighty on earth: the
generation of the upright shall be blessed.
115:12
The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will
bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and
great.
118:26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of
the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
128:1 Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that
walks in his ways. 2 For you shall eat the labor of your
hands: happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your
house: your children like olive plants round about your
table. 4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that
fears the LORD. 5 The LORD shall bless you out of Zion:
and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your
life. 6 Yes, you shall see your children’s children, and
peace on Israel.
134:3 The LORD that made heaven and
earth bless you out of Zion.
Pr 3:33 The curse
of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesses
the habitation of the just.
10:6 Blessings are on the
head of the just: but violence covers the mouth of the
wicked. 7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name
of the wicked shall rot.
10:22 The blessing of the
LORD, it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
11:26 He that withholds corn, the people shall curse him:
but blessing shall be on the head of him that sells it.

beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

shall abound with blessings: but he that makes haste to be
rich shall not be innocent.

generation that curses their father, and does not bless
their mother.

eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his
labor; this is the gift of God. 20 For he shall not much
remember the days of his life; because God answers him in
the joy of his heart.
Isa 19:23 In that day
shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the
Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into
Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with
Assyria, even a blessing in the middle of the land: 25
Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt
my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my
inheritance.
44:3 For I will pour water on him that
is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground: I will pour my
spirit on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring:
51:2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah that bore
you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased
him.
Jer 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusts
in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Eze
34:25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and
will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and
they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the
woods. 26 And I will make them and the places round about
my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down
in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
Hag 2:8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,
said the LORD of hosts.

barn? yes, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the
pomegranate, and the olive tree, has not brought forth: from
this day will I bless you.
Zec 8:11 But now I
will not be to the residue of this people as in the former
days, said the LORD of hosts. 12 For the seed shall be
prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground
shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their
dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess
all these things. 13 And it shall come to pass, that as
you were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and
house of Israel; so will I save you, and you shall be a
blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
Mal 2:2 If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it
to heart, to give glory to my name, said the LORD of hosts,
I will even send a curse on you, and I will curse your
blessings: yes, I have cursed them already, because you do
not lay it to heart.
3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet you
have robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In
tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with a curse: for
you have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring you
all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat
in my house, and prove me now herewith, said the LORD of
hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and
pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough
to receive it. 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your
sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground;
neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in
the field, said the LORD of hosts.
Hope
Acts
26:6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the
promise made of God, to our fathers: 7 To which promise
our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope
to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused
of the Jews.
27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in
many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope
that we should be saved was then taken away.
Rom
4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become
the father of many nations, according to that which was
spoken, So shall your seed be.
5:1 Therefore being
justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into
this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the
glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in
tribulations also: knowing that tribulation works patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And
hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us.
8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not
willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same
in hope, 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is
seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope
for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we
with patience wait for it.
12:12 Rejoicing in hope;
patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
15:4 For whatever things were written aforetime were
written for our learning, that we through patience and
comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
15:13 Now
the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of
the Holy Ghost.
1 Cor 13:13 And now stays
faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these
is charity.
15:19 If in this life only we have hope
in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now
is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits
of them that slept.
2 Cor 1:8 For we would
not, brothers, have you ignorant of our trouble which came
to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above
strength, so that we despaired even of life: 9 But we had
the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust
in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead: 10 Who
delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in
whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
3:12
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness
of speech: 13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his
face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look
to the end of that which is abolished:
4:7 But we
have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency
of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are
troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are
perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not
forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Gal
5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of
righteousness by faith.
Eph 1:17 That the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to
you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of
him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened;
that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what
the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
2:11 Why remember, that you being in time past Gentiles
in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is
called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12
That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from
the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants
of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are
called in one hope of your calling;
Col 1:5
For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof you
heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 23
If you continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be
not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you have
heard, and which was preached to every creature which is
under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
1:27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory
of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you,
the hope of glory:
1 Th 1:3 Remembering
without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and
patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of
God and our Father;
4:13 But I would not have you to
be ignorant, brothers, concerning them which are asleep,
that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on
the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the
hope of salvation.
2 Th 2:16 Now our Lord
Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which has
loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation and good
hope through grace, 17 Comfort your hearts, and establish
you in every good word and work.
1 Tim 1:1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God
our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
Tit 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that
cannot lie, promised before the world began;
2:13
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of
the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;
3:7 That
being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life.
Heb 3:6
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we,
if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope
firm to the end.
6:11 And we desire that every one of
you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope
to the end: 12 That you be not slothful, but followers of
them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was
impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong
consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the
hope set before us: 19 Which hope we have as an anchor of
the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into
that within the veil; 20 Where the forerunner is for us
entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the
order of Melchisedec.
11:1 Now faith is the substance
of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of
sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in
your minds. 4 You have not yet resisted to blood,
striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the
exhortation which speaks to you as to children, My son,
despise not you the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when
you are rebuked of him:
1 Pe 1:3 Blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according
to his abundant mercy has begotten us again to a lively hope
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1:13 Why gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope
to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the
revelation of Jesus Christ;
1:21 Who by him do
believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave
him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready
always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason
of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
1 Joh 3:3 And every man that has this hope in him
purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Job 6:11
What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is my end,
that I should prolong my life? 12 Is my strength the
strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass? 13 Is not my
help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
7:6
My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent
without hope.
8:13 So are the paths of all that
forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish: 14
Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a
spider’s web.
14:7 For there is hope of a tree, if it
be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender
branch thereof will not cease. 8 Though the root thereof
wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the
ground; 9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and
bring forth boughs like a plant.
19:7 Behold, I cry
out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is
no judgment. 8 He has fenced up my way that I cannot
pass, and he has set darkness in my paths. 9 He has
stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 He has destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and my
hope has he removed like a tree. 11 He has also kindled
his wrath against me, and he counts me to him as one of his
enemies.
27:8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite,
though he has gained, when God takes away his soul?
Ps 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on them that
fear him, on them that hope in his mercy; 19 To deliver
their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in you.
62:5 My soul, wait you only on God; for my expectation
is from him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is
my defense; I shall not be moved.
71:5 For you are my
hope, O Lord GOD: you are my trust from my youth.
119:49. Muista sana, jonka olet palvelijallesi puhunut,
sillä sinä olet antanut minulle toivon. 50. Se on minun
lohdutukseni kurjuudessani, että sinun lupauksesi minua
virvoittaa.
119:74 They that fear you will be glad
when they see me; because I have hoped in your word. 81
My soul faints for your salvation: but I hope in your word.
114 You are my hiding place and my shield: I hope in your
word. 116 Uphold me according to your word, that I may
live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 147 I
prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in
your word.
130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul does
wait, and in his word do I hope. 6 My soul waits for the
Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more
than they that watch for the morning.
146:5 Happy is
he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in
the LORD his God: 6 Which made heaven, and earth, the
sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:
147:10 He delights not in the strength of the horse: he
takes not pleasure in the legs of a man. 11 The LORD
takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in
his mercy.
Pr 10:28 The hope of the righteous
shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall
perish.
11:7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation
shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perishes.
23:17 Let not your heart envy sinners: but be you in the
fear of the LORD all the day long. 18 For surely there is
an end; and your expectation shall not be cut off.
24:14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul: when
you have found it, then there shall be a reward, and your
expectation shall not be cut off.
Ec 9:4 For
to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a
living dog is better than a dead lion.
Jer
14:8 O the hope of Israel, the savior thereof in time of
trouble, why should you be as a stranger in the land, and as
a wayfaring man that turns aside to tarry for a night? 9
Why should you be as a man astonished, as a mighty man that
cannot save? yet you, O LORD, are in the middle of us, and
we are called by your name; leave us not.
29:11 For I
know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the LORD,
thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected
end. 12 Then shall you call on me, and you shall go and
pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you shall
seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all
your heart.
Hos 12:6 Therefore turn you to
your God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on your God
continually.
Truth
Mt
22:16 And they sent out to him their disciples with the
Herodians, saying, Master, we know that you are true, and
teach the way of God in truth, neither care you for any man:
for you regard not the person of men.
Joh 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth. 17 For the law was
given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
3:21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his
deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.
4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true
worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:
for the Father seeks such to worship him. 24 God is a
Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit
and in truth.
5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my
witness is not true. 32 There is another that bears
witness of me; and I know that the witness which he
witnesses of me is true. 33 You sent to John, and he bore
witness to the truth. 34 But I receive not testimony from
man: but these things I say, that you might be saved.
8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on
him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples
indeed; 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free.
8:40 But now you seek to kill
me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of
God: this did not Abraham. 44 You are of your father the
devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and stayed not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he
speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.
46 Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth,
why do you not believe me?
10:41 And many resorted to
him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John
spoke of this man were true. 42 And many believed on him
there.
14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.
14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know
him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you. 18 I
will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to
you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which
proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:
16:13 However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he
will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will show you things to come.
17:17 Sanctify
them through your truth: your word is truth. 18 As you
have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them
into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself,
that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
18:37 Pilate therefore said to him, Are you a king then?
Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I
born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I
should bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the
truth hears my voice. 38 Pilate said to him, What is
truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the
Jews, and said to them, I find in him no fault at all.
19:35 And he that saw it bore record, and his record is
true: and he knows that he said true, that you might
believe.
Acts 26:24 And as he thus spoke for
himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, you are beside
yourself; much learning does make you mad. 25 But he
said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the
words of truth and soberness. 26 For the king knows of
these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am
persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for
this thing was not done in a corner.
Rom 1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth
in unrighteousness; 25 Who changed the truth of God into
a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
2:8 But to
them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but
obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9
Tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man that does
evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10 But
glory, honor, and peace, to every man that works good, to
the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11 For there is
no respect of persons with God.
3:7 For if the truth
of God has more abounded through my lie to his glory; why
yet am I also judged as a sinner? 8 And not rather, (as
we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we
say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is
just.
15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister
of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the
promises made to the fathers: 1 Cor 5:8
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven,
neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with
the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
13:6
Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
2 Cor 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as
we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have
renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in
craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by
manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every
man’s conscience in the sight of God.
6:3 Giving no
offense in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 4
But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of
God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in
distresses, 5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults,
in labors, in watchings, in fastings; 6 By pureness, by
knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy
Ghost, by love unfeigned, 7 By the word of truth, by the
power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right
hand and on the left, 8 By honor and dishonor, by evil
report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 9 As
unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live;
as chastened, and not killed; 10 As sorrowful, yet always
rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing,
and yet possessing all things.
11:10 As the truth of
Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in
the regions of Achaia.
13:8 For we can do nothing
against the truth, but for the truth. Gal 2:44
And that because of false brothers unawares brought in, who
came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in
Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 5 To
whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that
the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
2:14
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to
the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If
you, being a Jew, live after the manner of Gentiles, and not
as do the Jews, why compel you the Gentiles to live as do
the Jews?
4:15 Where is then the blessedness you
spoke of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been
possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and have
given them to me. 16 Am I therefore become your enemy,
because I tell you the truth?
5:7 You did run well;
who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth? 8
This persuasion comes not of him that calls you. 9 A
little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Eph 1:13
In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of
truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that
you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of
promise,
4:14 That we from now on be no more
children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every
wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning
craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But
speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all
things, which is the head, even Christ:
4:20 But you
have not so learned Christ; 21 If so be that you have
heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in
Jesus: 22 That you put off concerning the former
conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the
deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your
mind; 24 And that you put on the new man, which after God
is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25 Why
putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor:
for we are members one of another.
5:8 For you were
sometimes darkness, but now are you light in the Lord: walk
as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is
in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
6:14
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,
and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Php 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether
in pretense, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein
do rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
4:8 Finally,
brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are
honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure,
whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things.
Col 1:5 For the hope
which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof you heard before
in the word of the truth of the gospel; 6 Which is come
to you, as it is in all the world; and brings forth fruit,
as it does also in you, since the day you heard of it, and
knew the grace of God in truth:
2 Th 2:9 Even
him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all
power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all
delusion of unrighteousness in them that perish; because
they received not the love of the truth, that they might be
saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong
delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they
all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give
thanks always to God for you, brothers beloved of the Lord,
because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation
through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the
truth:
1 Tim 2:3 For this is good and
acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; 4 Who will
have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of
the truth.
2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher,
and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;)
a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
3:14
These things write I to you, hoping to come to you shortly:
15 But if I tarry long, that you may know how you ought to
behave yourself in the house of God, which is the church of
the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
4:1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter
times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking
lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot
iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain
from meats, which God has created to be received with
thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and
destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness:
from such withdraw yourself.
2 Tim 2:15 Study
to show yourself approved to God, a workman that needs not
to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2:17 And their word will eat as does a canker: of whom is
Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18 Who concerning the truth have
erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and
overthrow the faith of some.
2:24 And the servant of
the Lord must not strive; but be gentle to all men, apt to
teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that
oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them
repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that
they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.
3:6 For of
this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive
silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of
the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses,
so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds,
reprobate concerning the faith.
4:3 For the time will
come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after
their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their
ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables.
Tit 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of
Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the
acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 2 In
hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised
before the world began;
1:12 One of themselves, even
a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars,
evil beasts, slow bellies. 13 This witness is true. Why
rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of
men, that turn from the truth.
Heb 10:26 For
if we sin willfully after that we have received the
knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for
sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment
and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Jas 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the
word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of
his creatures.
3:14 But if you have bitter envying
and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against
the truth. 15 This wisdom descends not from above, but is
earthly, sensual, devilish.
5:19 Brothers, if any of
you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 20 Let
him know, that he which converts the sinner from the error
of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a
multitude of sins.
1 Pe 1:22 Seeing you have
purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit
to unfeigned love of the brothers, see that you love one
another with a pure heart fervently: 23 Being born again,
not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word
of God, which lives and stays for ever.
2 Pe
1:12 Why I will not be negligent to put you always in
remembrance of these things, though you know them, and be
established in the present truth.
2:1 But there were
false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be
false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them,
and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many
shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the
way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
1 Joh
1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in
darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 8 If we say that
we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not
in us.
2:4 He that said, I know him, and keeps not
his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
2:21 I have not written to you because you know not the
truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the
truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is
the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the
Son.
3:18 My little children, let us not love in
word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And
hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure
our hearts before him. 20 For if our heart condemn us,
God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
4:6 We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is
not of God hears not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth,
and the spirit of error.
5:6 This is he that came by
water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but
by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness,
because the Spirit is truth.
2 Joh 1:1 The
elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the
truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the
truth; 2 For the truth’s sake, which dwells in us, and
shall be with us for ever. 3 Grace be with you, mercy,
and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 4 I
rejoiced greatly that I found of your children walking in
truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
3 Joh 1:1 The elder to the well beloved Gaius,
whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I wish above all
things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your
soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the
brothers came and testified of the truth that is in you,
even as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy
than to hear that my children walk in truth. 12 Demetrius
has good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yes,
and we also bear record; and you know that our record is
true.
Ps 40:10 I have not hid your
righteousness within my heart; I have declared your
faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your
loving kindness and your truth from the great congregation.
11 Withhold not you your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let
your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
51:6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and
in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom.
86:11 Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth:
unite my heart to fear your name.
119:142 Your
righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your law
is the truth. 160 Your word is true from the beginning:
and every one of your righteous judgments endures for ever.
Pr 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also
wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
Isa
59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice
stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and
equity cannot enter. 15 Yes, truth fails; and he that
departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the LORD saw it,
and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Dan 10:21 But I will show you that which is noted in the
scripture of truth: and there is none that holds with me in
these things, but Michael your prince.
Zec
8:16 These are the things that you shall do; Speak you every
man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth
and peace in your gates: 18 And the word of the LORD of
hosts came to me, saying, 19 Thus said the LORD of hosts;
The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and
the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be
to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts;
therefore love the truth and peace.
Water
Mt
3:11 I indeed baptize you with water to repentance. but he
that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost,
and with fire:
10:42 And whoever shall give to drink
to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the
name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he shall in no wise
lose his reward.
14:28 And Peter answered him and
said, Lord, if it be you, bid me come to you on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of
the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but
that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his
hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the
blood of this just person: see you to it. 25 Then
answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and
on our children.
Mr 7:1 Then came together to
him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came
from Jerusalem. 2 And when they saw some of his disciples
eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed,
hands, they found fault. 3 For the Pharisees, and all the
Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the
tradition of the elders. 4 And when they come from the
market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other
things there be, which they have received to hold, as the
washing of cups, and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not
your disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but
eat bread with unwashed hands? 6 He answered and said to
them, Well has Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is
written, This people honors me with their lips, but their
heart is far from me. 7 However, in vain do they worship
me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Lu 7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said to
Simon, See you this woman? I entered into your house, you
gave me no water for my feet: but she has washed my feet
with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was
carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man
also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his
eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and
Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father
Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip
the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am
tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son,
remember that you in your lifetime received your good
things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is
comforted, and you are tormented.
Joh 2:9 When
the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made
wine, and knew not from where it was: (but the servants
which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called
the bridegroom,
3:3 Jesus answered and said to him,
Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus said to him,
How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the
second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus
answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born
of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom
of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and
that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not
that I said to you, You must be born again.
4:7 There
comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus said to her,
Give me to drink. 8 (For his disciples were gone away to
the city to buy meat.) 9 Then said the woman of Samaria
to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me,
which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings
with the Samaritans. 10 Jesus answered and said to her,
If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that said to you,
Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would
have given you living water. 11 The woman said to him,
Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep:
from where then have you that living water? 12 Are you
greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and
drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this
water shall thirst again: 14 But whoever drinks of the
water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the
water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water
springing up into everlasting life. 15 The woman said to
him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither
come here to draw.
5:1 After this there was a feast
of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there
is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called
in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In
these lay a great multitude of weak folk, of blind, halt,
withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an
angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and
troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling
of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease
he had. 5 And a certain man was there, which had an
infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him
lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case,
he said to him, Will you be made whole? 7 The weak man
answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is
troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming,
another steps down before me. 8 Jesus said to him, Rise,
take up your bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was
made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same
day was the sabbath.
6:33 For the bread of God is he
which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world.
34 Then said they to him, Lord, ever more give us this
bread. 35 And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life:
he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes
on me shall never thirst.
7:37 In the last day, that
great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If
any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink. 38 He that
believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spoke he
of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should
receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that
Jesus was not yet glorified.)
13:5 After that he
pours water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’
feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was
girded. 6 Then comes he to Simon Peter: and Peter said to
him, Lord, do you wash my feet? 7 Jesus answered and said
to him, What I do you know not now; but you shall know
hereafter. 8 Peter said to him, You shall never wash my
feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash you not, you have no
part with me. 9 Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my
feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10 Jesus said
to him, He that is washed needs not save to wash his feet,
but is clean every whit: and you are clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, You
are not all clean.
19:33 But when they came to Jesus,
and saw that he was dead already, they broke not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side,
and immediately came there out blood and water. 35 And he
that saw it bore record, and his record is true: and he
knows that he said true, that you might believe.
Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but you
shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
22:16 And now why tarry you? arise, and be baptized, and
wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of
water by the word,
1 Tim 5:23 Drink no longer
water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and
your often infirmities.
Heb 10:21 And having
an high priest over the house of God; 22 Let us draw near
with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our
hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies
washed with pure water.
11:29 By faith they passed
through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians
assaying to do were drowned.
Jas 3:9 Therewith
bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men,
which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of the
same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brothers, these
things ought not so to be. 11 Does a fountain send forth
at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12 Can the fig
tree, my brothers, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs?
so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
1 Pe 3:19 By which also he went and preached to the
spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient,
when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of
Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is,
eight souls were saved by water. 21 The like figure
whereunto even baptism does also now save us (not the
putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a
good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus
Christ:
2 Pe 2:17 These are wells without
water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the
mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
3:5 For this
they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the
heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water
and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was,
being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens
and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in
store, reserved to fire against the day of judgment and
perdition of ungodly men.
1 Joh 5:6 This is he
that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by
water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit
that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For
there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And
there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and
the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
Jude 1:11 Woe to them! for they have gone in the
way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for
reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These
are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with
you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are
without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit
wither, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;
wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of
darkness for ever.
Rev 1:12 And I turned to
see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw
seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the middle of the
seven candlesticks one like to the Son of man, clothed with
a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with
a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white
like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of
fire; 15 And his feet like to fine brass, as if they
burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many
waters.
7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither
thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor
any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the middle of the
throne shall feed them, and shall lead them to living
fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes.
8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as
it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the
sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And
the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and
had life, died; and the third part of the ships were
destroyed. 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell
a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it
fell on the third part of the rivers, and on the fountains
of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called
Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood;
and many men died of the waters, because they were made
bitter.
9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the
trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great
river Euphrates.
11:6 These have power to shut
heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and
have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite
the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial on the great
river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that
the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the
seven vials, and talked with me, saying to me, Come here; I
will show to you the judgment of the great whore that sits
on many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have
committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have
been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 15 And
he said to me, The waters which you saw, where the whore
sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
21:5 And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make
all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words
are true and faithful. 6 And he said to me, It is done. I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give
to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life
freely.
22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water
of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of
God and of the Lamb.
22:17 And the Spirit and the
bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let
him that is thirsty come. And whoever will, let him take the
water of life freely.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was
without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the
deep. And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the middle of
the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which
were under the firmament from the waters which were above
the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the
firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the
second day. 9 And God said, Let the waters under the
heaven be gathered together to one place, and let the dry
land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry
land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called
he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 20 And God said,
Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature
that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the
open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created great
whales, and every living creature that moves, which the
waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply,
and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in
the earth.
2:4 These are the generations of the
heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day
that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And
every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and
every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had
not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was not a man
to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the
earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
2:10
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from
there it was parted, and became into four heads. 11 The
name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasses the
whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And the
gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx
stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the
same is it that compasses the whole land of Ethiopia. 14
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it
which goes toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river
is Euphrates.
7:10 And it came to pass after seven
days, that the waters of the flood were on the earth. 11
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second
month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were
all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the
windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was on the
earth forty days and forty nights. 13 In the selfsame day
entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of
Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with
them, into the ark;
7:17 And the flood was forty days
on the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark,
and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters
prevailed, and were increased greatly on the earth; and the
ark went on the face of the waters. 19 And the waters
prevailed exceedingly on the earth; and all the high hills,
that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the
mountains were covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved
on the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and
of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every
man: 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of
all that was in the dry land, died. 23 And every living
substance was destroyed which was on the face of the ground,
both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl
of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and
Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the
ark. 24 And the waters prevailed on the earth an hundred
and fifty days.
10:1 Now these are the generations of
the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and to them were
sons born after the flood.
13:8 And Abram said to
Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray you, between me and you,
and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we be
brothers. 9 Is not the whole land before you? separate
yourself, I pray you, from me: if you will take the left
hand, then I will go to the right; or if you depart to the
right hand, then I will go to the left. 10 And Lot lifted
up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was
well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom
and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land
of Egypt, as you come to Zoar. 11 Then Lot chose him all
the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they
separated themselves the one from the other.
14:1 And
it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar,
Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal
king of nations; 2 That these made war with Bera king of
Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of
Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela,
which is Zoar. 3 All these were joined together in the
vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
18:2 And he
lift up his eyes and looked, and, see, three men stood by
him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent
door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3 And said, My
LORD, if now I have found favor in your sight, pass not
away, I pray you, from your servant: 4 Let a little
water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest
yourselves under the tree:
26:18 And Isaac dig again
the wells of water, which they had dig in the days of
Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them
after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after
the names by which his father had called them. 19 And
Isaac’s servants dig in the valley, and found there a well
of springing water.
Ex 2:10 And the child
grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he
became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said,
Because I drew him out of the water.
4:9 And it shall
come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs,
neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the
water of the river, and pour it on the dry land: and the
water which you take out of the river shall become blood on
the dry land.
7:19 And the LORD spoke to Moses, Say
to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand on the
waters of Egypt, on their streams, on their rivers, and on
their ponds, and on all their pools of water, that they may
become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the
land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of
stone. 20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD
commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters
that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the
sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the
river were turned to blood. 21 And the fish that was in
the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could
not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood
throughout all the land of Egypt. 22 And the magicians of
Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart
was hardened, neither did he listen to them; as the LORD had
said.
14:21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the
sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east
wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the
waters were divided. 22 And the children of Israel went
into the middle of the sea on the dry ground: and the waters
were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
15:22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they
went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three
days in the wilderness, and found no water. 23 And when
they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of
Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was
called Marah. 24 And the people murmured against Moses,
saying, What shall we drink? 25 And he cried to the LORD;
and the LORD showed him a tree, which when he had cast into
the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for
them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
30:17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 18 You
shall also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of
brass, to wash with: and you shall put it between the
tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and you shall
put water therein. 19 For Aaron and his sons shall wash
their hands and their feet thereat: 20 When they go into
the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with
water, that they die not; or when they come near to the
altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire to the
LORD: 21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet,
that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to
them, even to him and to his seed throughout their
generations.
40:9 And he put the altar of burnt
offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation, and offered on it the burnt offering and the
meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses. 30 And he set
the laver between the tent of the congregation and the
altar, and put water there, to wash with. 31 And Moses
and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet
thereat: 32 When they went into the tent of the
congregation, and when they came near to the altar, they
washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Lev 11:9
These shall you eat of all that are in the waters: whatever
has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the
rivers, them shall you eat. 10 And all that have not fins
and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move
in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the
waters, they shall be an abomination to you:
Num
31:22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron,
the tin, and the lead, 23 Every thing that may abide the
fire, you shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be
clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of
separation: and all that stays not the fire you shall make
go through the water.
De 11:13 And it shall
come to pass, if you shall listen diligently to my
commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD
your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all
your soul, 14 That I will give you the rain of your land
in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that
you may gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil.
15 And I will send grass in your fields for your cattle,
that you may eat and be full. 16 Take heed to yourselves,
that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and
serve other gods, and worship them; 17 And then the
LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the
heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not
her fruit; and lest you perish quickly from off the good
land which the LORD gives you.
31:30 And Moses spoke
in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of
this song, until they were ended. 32 : 1 Give ear, O you
heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of
my mouth. 2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech
shall distil as the dew, as the small rain on the tender
herb, and as the showers on the grass: 3 Because I will
publish the name of the LORD: ascribe you greatness to our
God.
33:18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun,
in your going out; and, Issachar, in your tents. 19 They
shall call the people to the mountain; there they shall
offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of
the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
Judges 7:4 And the LORD said to Gideon, The
people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I
will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I
say to you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with
you; and of whomsoever I say to you, This shall not go with
you, the same shall not go. 5 So he brought down the
people to the water: and the LORD said to Gideon, Every one
that laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, him
shall you set by himself; likewise every one that bows down
on his knees to drink. 6 And the number of them that
lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three
hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down on
their knees to drink water. 7 And the LORD said to
Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save
you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand: and let all
the other people go every man to his place.
1 Ki
17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of
Gilead, said to Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel lives,
before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these
years, but according to my word.
18:31 And Elijah
took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of
the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came,
saying, Israel shall be your name: 32 And with the stones
he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a
trench about the altar, as great as would contain two
measures of seed. 33 And he put the wood in order, and
cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and
said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt
sacrifice, and on the wood. 34 And he said, Do it the
second time. And they did it the second time. And he said,
Do it the third time. And they did it the third time. 35
And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the
trench also with water. 36 And it came to pass at the
time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah
the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac,
and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in
Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all
these things at your word. 37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me,
that this people may know that you are the LORD God, and
that you have turned their heart back again. 38 Then the
fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and
the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the
water that was in the trench. 39 And when all the people
saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD,
he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
18:41 And
Elijah said to Ahab, Get you up, eat and drink; for there is
a sound of abundance of rain. 42 So Ahab went up to eat
and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and
he cast himself down on the earth, and put his face between
his knees, 43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look
toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There
is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. 44 And it
came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold,
there rises a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s
hand. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Prepare your chariot,
and get you down that the rain stop you not. 45 And it
came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black
with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab
rode, and went to Jezreel.
2 Ki 2:19 And the
men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, I pray you, the
situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees: but the
water is naught, and the ground barren. 20 And he said,
Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought
it to him. 21 And he went forth to the spring of the
waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus said the
LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from
there any more death or barren land. 22 So the waters
were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha
which he spoke.
5:9 So Naaman came with his horses
and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of
Elisha. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go
and wash in Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come
again to you, and you shall be clean. 11 But Naaman was
wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will
surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of
the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and
recover the leper. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers
of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not
wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a
rage. 13 And his servants came near, and spoke to him,
and said, My father, if the prophet had bid you do some
great thing, would you not have done it? how much rather
then, when he said to you, Wash, and be clean? 14 Then
went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan,
according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh
came again like to the flesh of a little child, and he was
clean.
Job 3:24 For my sighing comes before I
eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
12:15 Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up: also
he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
26:7
He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs
the earth on nothing. 8 He binds up the waters in his
thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
36:26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can
the number of his years be searched out. 27 For he makes
small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to
the vapor thereof: 28 Which the clouds do drop and distil
on man abundantly. 29 Also can any understand the
spreading of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
37:5 God thunders marvelously with his voice; great
things does he, which we cannot comprehend. 6 For he said
to the snow, Be you on the earth; likewise to the small
rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
37:10 By
the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the
waters is straitened. 11 Also by watering he wearies the
thick cloud: he scatters his bright cloud: 12 And it is
turned round about by his counsels: that they may do
whatever he commands them on the face of the world in the
earth. 13 He causes it to come, whether for correction,
or for his land, or for mercy.
38:8 Or who shut up
the sea with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued
out of the womb? 9 When I made the cloud the garment
thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling cloth for it, 10
And broke up for it my decreed place, and set bars and
doors, 11 And said, Till now shall you come, but no
further: and here shall your proud waves be stayed? 16
Have you entered into the springs of the sea? or have you
walked in the search of the depth? 24 By what way is the
light parted, which scatters the east wind on the earth?
25 Who has divided a watercourse for the overflowing of
waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; 26 To
cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the
wilderness, wherein there is no man; 27 To satisfy the
desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the
tender herb to spring forth? 28 Has the rain a father? or
who has begotten the drops of dew? 29 Out of whose womb
came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who has
gendered it? 30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and
the face of the deep is frozen. 31 Can you bind the sweet
influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? 32
Can you bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or can you
guide Arcturus with his sons? 33 Know you the ordinances
of heaven? can you set the dominion thereof in the earth?
34 Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that abundance
of waters may cover you? 35 Can you send lightning, that
they may go and say to you, Here we are? 36 Who has put
wisdom in the inward parts? or who has given understanding
to the heart? 37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or
who can stay the bottles of heaven, 38 When the dust
grows into hardness, and the clods stuck fast together?
Ps 1:1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight
is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate
day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by
the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his
season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does
shall prosper.
22:14 I am poured out like water, and
all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is
melted in the middle of my bowels.
23:2 He makes me
to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still
waters.
36:7 How excellent is your loving kindness, O
God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the
shadow of your wings. 8 They shall be abundantly
satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall make
them drink of the river of your pleasures. 9 For with you
is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.
42:1 As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants
my soul after you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for
the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
46:2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be
removed, and though the mountains be carried into the middle
of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be
troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling
thereof. Selah.
63:1 O God, you are my God; early
will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for
you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
65:5 By terrible things in righteousness will you answer us,
O God of our salvation; who are the confidence of all the
ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off on the sea:
6 Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being
girded with power: 7 Which stills the noise of the seas,
the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. 8
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at
your tokens: you make the outgoings of the morning and
evening to rejoice.
65:9 You visit the earth, and
water it: you greatly enrich it with the river of God, which
is full of water: you prepare them corn, when you have so
provided for it. 10 You water the ridges thereof
abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft
with showers: you bless the springing thereof. 11 You
crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop
fatness.
68:9 You, O God, did send a plentiful rain,
whereby you did confirm your inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Your congregation has dwelled therein: you, O God, have
prepared of your goodness for the poor.
84:5 Blessed
is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the
ways of them. 6 Who passing through the valley of Baca
make it a well; the rain also fills the pools.
104:5
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be
removed for ever. 6 You covered it with the deep as with
a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 7 At
your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they
hurried away. 8 They go up by the mountains; they go down
by the valleys to the place which you have founded for them.
9 You have set a bound that they may not pass over; that
they turn not again to cover the earth. 10 He sends the
springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. 11
They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses
quench their thirst.
Pr 5:15 Drink waters out
of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own
well. 16 Let your fountains be dispersed abroad, and
rivers of waters in the streets.
9:17 Stolen waters
are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. 18 But
he knows not that the dead are there; and that her guests
are in the depths of hell.
13:14 The law of the wise
is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to
depart from the snares of death.
16:15 In the light
of the king’s countenance is life; and his favor is as a
cloud of the latter rain.
17:14 The beginning of
strife is as when one lets out water: therefore leave off
contention, before it be meddled with.
18:4 The words
of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of
wisdom as a flowing brook.
19:13 A foolish son is the
calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a
continual dropping.
20:5 Counsel in the heart of man
is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it
out.
21:1 The king’s heart is in the hand of the
LORD, as the rivers of water: he turns it wherever he will.
25:14 Whoever boasts himself of a false gift is like
clouds and wind without rain.
25:21 If your enemy be
hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give
him water to drink: 22 For you shall heap coals of fire
on his head, and the LORD shall reward you. 23 The north
wind drives away rain: so does an angry countenance a
backbiting tongue.
25:25 As cold waters to a thirsty
soul, so is good news from a far country. 26 A righteous
man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled
fountain, and a corrupt spring.
26:1 As snow in
summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not seemly for a
fool.
27:15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day
and a contentious woman are alike.
28:3 A poor man
that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves
no food.
Ec 1:4 One generation passes away,
and another generation comes: but the earth stays for ever.
5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to
his place where he arose. 6 The wind goes toward the
south, and turns about to the north; it whirls about
continually, and the wind returns again according to his
circuits. 7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea
is not full; to the place from where the rivers come,
thither they return again.
10:18 By much slothfulness
the building decays; and through idleness of the hands the
house drops through.
11:3 If the clouds be full of
rain, they empty themselves on the earth: and if the tree
fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place
where the tree falls, there it shall be. 4 He that
observes the wind shall not sow; and he that regards the
clouds shall not reap.
Song 8:7 Many waters
cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a
man would give all the substance of his house for love, it
would utterly be contemned.
Isa 5:5 And now go
to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will
take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and
break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor dig;
but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also
command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.
8:6
For as much as this people refuses the waters of Shiloah
that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up on them the
waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of
Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all
his channels, and go over all his banks:
11:9 They
shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the
earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the
waters cover the sea.
11:15 And the LORD shall
utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his
mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and
shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over
with dry sandals. 16 And there shall be an highway for
the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from
Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up
out of the land of Egypt.
12:2 Behold, God is my
salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD
JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my
salvation. 3 Therefore with joy shall you draw water out
of the wells of salvation.
17:12 Woe to the multitude
of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the
seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing
like the rushing of mighty waters! 13 The nations shall
rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke
them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as
the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a
rolling thing before the whirlwind.
25:4 For you have
been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his
distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat,
when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against
the wall.
35:6 Then shall the lame man leap as an
hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness
shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
40:12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the
dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in
scales, and the hills in a balance? 15 Behold, the
nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the
small dust of the balance: behold, he takes up the isles as
a very little thing.
41:17 When the poor and needy
seek water, and there is none, and their tongue fails for
thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will
not forsake them. 18 I will open rivers in high places,
and fountains in the middle of the valleys: I will make the
wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of
water.
43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will
be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow
you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be
burned; neither shall the flame kindle on you.
43:18
Remember you not the former things, neither consider the
things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it
shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make
a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 20 The
beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls:
because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the
desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
44:3
For I will pour water on him that is thirsty, and floods on
the dry ground: I will pour my spirit on your seed, and my
blessing on your offspring: 4 And they shall spring up as
among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
48:18 O that you had listened to my commandments! then had
your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the
waves of the sea:
51:15 But I am the LORD your God,
that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts
is his name.
54:9 For this is as the waters of Noah
to me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no
more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be
wroth with you, nor rebuke you. 10 For the mountains
shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness
shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of my
peace be removed, said the LORD that has mercy on you.
55:1 Ho, every one that thirsts, come you to the waters,
and he that has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yes, come,
buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2 Why
do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your
labor for that which satisfies not? listen diligently to me,
and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight
itself in fatness. 3 Incline your ear, and come to me:
hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an
everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of
David.
55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts
than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain comes down, and
the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters
the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may
give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So
shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall
not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I
please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it
cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 21 There
is no peace, said my God, to the wicked.
58:11 And
the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul
in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a
watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters
fail not.
60:5 Then you shall see, and flow together,
and your heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the
abundance of the sea shall be converted to you, the forces
of the Gentiles shall come to you.
Jer 2:13
For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken
me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out
cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
2:22 For though you wash you with nitre, and take you much
soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me, said the Lord
GOD.
5:22 Fear you not me? said the LORD: will you
not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for
the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot
pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet
can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not
pass over it? 23 But this people has a revolting and a
rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 24 Neither
say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God,
that gives rain, both the former and the latter, in his
season: he reserves to us the appointed weeks of the
harvest. 25 Your iniquities have turned away these
things, and your sins have withheld good things from you.
17:7 Blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD, and
whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree
planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the
river, and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall
be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
17:13 O
LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake you shall be
ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in
the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain
of living waters.
31:12 Therefore they shall come and
sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the
goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil,
and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their
soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow
any more at all.
Eze 34:26 And I will make
them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I
will cause the shower to come down in his season; there
shall be showers of blessing.
36:25 Then will I
sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from
all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse
you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new
spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony
heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of
flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause
you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments,
and do them.
47:1 Afterward he brought me again to
the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from
under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront
of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down
from under from the right side of the house, at the south
side of the altar. 2 Then brought he me out of the way of
the gate northward, and led me about the way without to the
utter gate by the way that looks eastward; and, behold,
there ran out waters on the right side. 3 And when the
man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he
measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the
waters; the waters were to the ankles. 4 Again he
measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the
waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and
brought me through; the waters were to the loins. 5
Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I
could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to
swim in, a river that could not be passed over. 6 And he
said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he brought
me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. 7
Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river
were very many trees on the one side and on the other. 8
Then said he to me, These waters issue out toward the east
country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea:
which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be
healed. 9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing
that lives, which moves, wherever the rivers shall come,
shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of
fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they
shall be healed; and every thing shall live where the river
comes. 10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers
shall stand on it from Engedi even to Eneglaim; they shall
be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be
according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea,
exceeding many. 11 But the miry places thereof and the
marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to
salt. 12 And by the river on the bank thereof, on this
side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose
leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be
consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his
months, because their waters they issued out of the
sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the
leaf thereof for medicine.
Dan 7:1 In the
first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream
and visions of his head on his bed: then he wrote the dream,
and told the sum of the matters. 2 Daniel spoke and said,
I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of
the heaven strove on the great sea. 3 And four great
beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Hos 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to
know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning;
and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and
former rain to the earth.
10:12 Sow to yourselves in
righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground:
for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain
righteousness on you. 13 You have plowed wickedness, you
have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies:
because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your
mighty men.
Joel 2:23 Be glad then, you
children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he
has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause
to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the
latter rain in the first month.
3:18 And it shall
come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down
new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the
rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall
come forth out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the
valley of Shittim.
Am 4:6 And I also have
given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of
bread in all your places: yet have you not returned to me,
said the LORD. 7 And also I have withheld the rain from
you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I
caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on
another city: one piece was rained on, and the piece
whereupon it rained not withered. 8 So two or three
cities wandered to one city, to drink water; but they were
not satisfied: yet have you not returned to me, said the
LORD.
8:11 Behold, the days come, said the Lord GOD,
that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of
bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of
the LORD: 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and
from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro
to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
Hab 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the
knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the
sea.
Zec 10:1 Ask you of the LORD rain in the
time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright
clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in
the field.
14:8 And it shall be in that day, that
living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them
toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder
sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. 17 And it shall
be, that whoever will not come up of all the families of the
earth to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts,
even on them shall be no rain.
