THE TRANSLATORS TO THE READER
Preface to the King James Version of 1611
THE BEST THINGS HAVE BEEN CULMINATED
Zeal to promote the common good, whether it be by devising anything ourselves, or revising that which hath been laboured
by others, deserveth certainly much respect and esteem, but yet findeth but cold entertainment in the world. It is welcomed
with suspicion instead of love, and with emulation instead of thanks: and if there be any hole left for cavil to enter, (and
cavil, if it do not find a hole, will make one) it is sure to be misconstrued, and in danger to be condemned. This will easily
be granted by as many as know story, or have any experience. For, was there ever any-projected, that savoured any way of
newness or renewing, but the same endured many a storm of gainsaying, or opposition? A man would think that Civility,
wholesome Laws, learning and eloquence, Synods, and Church-maintenance, (that we speak of no more things of this kind)
should be as safe as a Sanctuary, and out of shot, as they say, that no man would lift up the heel, no, nor dog move his
tongue against the motioners of them. For by the first, we are distinguished from brute beasts lead with sensuality; By the
second, we are bridled and restrained from outrageous behaviour, and from doing of injuries, whether by fraud or by
violence; By the third, we are enabled to inform and reform others, by the light and feeling that we have attained unto
ourselves; Briefly, by the fourth being brought together to a parley face to face, we sooner compose our differences than by
writings which are endless; And lastly, that the Church be sufficiently provided for, is so agreeable to good reason and
conscience, that those mothers are holden to be less cruel, that kill their children as soon as they are born, than those nursing
fathers and mothers (wheresoever they be) that withdraw from them who hang upon their breasts (and upon whose breasts
again themselves do hang to receive the Spiritual and sincere milk of the word) livelihood and support fit for their estates.
Thus it is apparent, that these things which we speak of, are of most necessary use, and therefore, that none, either without
absurdity can speak against them, or without note of wickedness can spurn against them.
Yet for all that, the learned know that certain worthy men [Anacharsis with others] have been brought to untimely death for
none other fault, but for seeking to reduce their Countrymen to god order and discipline; and that in some Commonwealths
[e.g. Locri] it was made a capital crime, once to motion the making of a new Law for the abrogating of an old, though the
same were most pernicious; And that certain [Cato the elder], which would be counted pillars of the State, and patterns of
Virtue and Prudence, could not be brought for a long time to give way to good Letters and refined speech, but bare
themselves as averse from them, as from rocks or boxes of poison; And fourthly, that he was no babe, but a great clerk
[Gregory the Divine], that gave forth (and in writing to remain to posterity) in passion peradventure, but yet he gave forth,
that he had not seen any profit to come by any Synod, or meeting of the Clergy, but rather the contrary; And lastly, against
Church-maintenance and allowance, in such sort, as the Ambassadors and messengers of the great King of Kings should be
furnished, it is not unknown what a fiction or fable (so it is esteemed, and for no better by the reporter himself [Nauclerus],
though superstitious) was devised; Namely, that at such a time as the professors and teachers of Christianity in the Church of
Rome, then a true Church, were liberally endowed, a voice forsooth was heard from heaven, saying: Now is poison poured
down into the Church, etc. Thus not only as oft as we speak, as one saith, but also as oft as we do anything of note or
consequence, we subject ourselves to everyone’s censure, and happy is he that is least tossed upon tongues; for utterly to
escape the snatch of them it is impossible. If any man conceit, that this is the lot and portion of the meaner sort only, and
that Princes are privileged by their high estate, he is deceived. "As the sword devoureth as well one as the other," as it is in
Samuel [2 Sam 11:25], nay as the great Commander charged his soldiers in a certain battle, to strike at no part of the enemy,
but at the face; And as the King of Syria commanded his chief Captains to "fight neither with small nor great, save only
against the King of Israel:" [1 Kings 22:31] so it is too true, that Envy striketh most spitefully at the fairest, and at the
chiefest. David was a worthy Prince, and no man to be compared to him for his first deeds, and yet for as worthy as act as
ever he did (even for bringing back the Ark of God in solemnity) he was scorned and scoffed at by his own wife [2 Sam

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 4
6:16]. Solomon was greater than David, though not in virtue, yet in power: and by his power and wisdom he built a Temple
to the Lord, such a one as was the glory of the land of Israel, and the wonder of the whole world. But was that his
magnificence liked of by all? We doubt it. Otherwise, why do they lay it in his son’s dish, and call unto him for easing the
burden, "Make", say they, "the grievous servitude of thy father, and his sore yoke, lighter?" [1 Kings 12:4] Belike he had
charged them with some levies, and troubled them with some carriages; Hereupon they raise up a tragedy, and wish in their
heart the Temple had never been built. So hard a thing it is to please all, even when we please God best, and do seek to
approve ourselves to every ones conscience.
If we will descend to later times, we shall find many the like examples of such kind, or rather unkind acceptance. The first
Roman Emperor [C. Caesar. Plutarch] did never do a more pleasing deed to the learned, nor more profitable to posterity, for
conserving the record of times in true supputation; than when he corrected the Calendar, and ordered the year according to
the course of the Sun; and yet this was imputed to him for novelty, and arrogance, and procured to him great obloguy. So
the first Christened Emperor [Constantine] (at the least-wise that openly professed the faith himself, and allowed others to do
the like) for strengthening the Empire at his great charges, and providing for the Church, as he did, got for his labour the
name Pupillus, as who would say, a wasteful Prince, that had need of a Guardian or overseer [Aurel. Victor]. So the best
Christened Emperor [Theodosius], for the love that he bare unto peace, thereby to enrich both himself and his subjects, and
because he did not see war but find it, was judged to be no man at arms [Zosimus], (though indeed he excelled in feats of
chivalry, and showed so much when he was provoked) and condemned for giving himself to his ease, and to his pleasure. To
be short, the most learned Emperor of former times [Justinian], (at the least, the greatest politician) what thanks had he for
cutting off the superfluities of the laws, and digesting them into some order and method? This, that he had been blotted by
some to be an Epitomist, that is, one that extinguishes worthy whole volumes, to bring his abridgments into request. This is
the measure that hath been rendered to excellent Princes in former times, even, Cum bene facerent, male audire, For their
good deeds to be evil spoken of. Neither is there any likelihood, that envy and malignity died, and were buried with the
ancient. No, no, the reproof of Moses taketh hold of most ages; "You are risen up in your fathers’ stead, and increase of
sinful men." [Num 32:14] "What is that that hath been done? that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the
Sun," saith the wiseman: [Ecc 1:9] and S. Stephen, "As your fathers did, so do you." [Acts 7:51]
HIS MAJESTY’S CONSTANCY, NOTWITHSTANDING CULMINATION, FOR THE SURVEY OF THE ENGLISH
TRANSLATIONS
This, and more to this purpose, His Majesty that now reigneth (and long, and long may he reign, and his offspring forever,
"Himself and children, and children’s always) knew full well, according to the singular wisdom given unto him by God, and
the rare learning and experience that he hath attained unto; namely that whosoever attempteth anything for the public
(especially if it pertain to Religion, and to the opening and clearing of the word of God) the same setteth himself upon a
stage to be gloated upon by every evil eye, yea, he casteth himself headlong upon pikes, to be gored by every sharp tongue.
For he that medleth with men’s Religion in any part, medleth with their custom, nay, with their freehold; and though they
find no content in that which they have, yet they cannot abide to hear of altering. Notwithstanding his Royal heart was not
daunted or discouraged for this that colour, but stood resolute, "as a statue immovable, and an anvil not easy to be beaten
into plates," as one [Suidas] saith; he knew who had chosen him to be a Soldier, or rather a Captain, and being assured that
the course which he intended made for the glory of God, and the building up of his Church, he would not suffer it to be
broken off for whatsoever speeches or practices.
It doth certainly belong unto Kings, yea, it doth specially belong unto them, to have care of Religion, yea, it doth specially
belong unto them, to have care of Religion, yea, to know it aright, yea, to profess it zealously, yea to promote it to the
uttermost of their power. This is their glory before all nations which mean well, and this will bring unto them a far most
excellent weight of glory in the day of the Lord Jesus. For the Scripture saith not in vain, "Them that honor me, I will
honor," [1 Sam 2:30] neither was it a vain word that Eusebius delivered long ago, that piety towards God was the weapon

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 5
and the only weapon, that both preserved Constantine’s person, and avenged him of his enemies [Eusebius lib 10 cap 8].
THE PRAISE OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
But now what piety without truth? what truth (what saving truth) without the word of God? What word of God (whereof we
may be sure) without the Scripture? The Scriptures we are commanded to search. John 5:39. Isa 8:20. They are commended
that searched and studied them. Acts 17:11 and 8:28,29. They are reproved that were unskillful in them, or slow to believe
them. Matt 22:29. Luke 24:25. They can make us wise unto salvation. 2 Tim 3:15. If we be ignorant, they will instruct us;
if out of the way, they will bring us home; if out of order, they will reform us; if in heaviness, comfort us; if dull, quicken us;
if cold, inflame us.
Tolle, lege; Tolle, lege, Take up and read, take up and read the Scriptures [S. August. confess. lib 8 cap 12], (for unto them
was the direction) it was said unto S. Augustine by a supernatural voice. "Whatsoever is in the Scriptures, believe me," saith
the same S. Augustine, "is high and divine; there is verily truth, and a doctrine most fit for the refreshing of men’s minds,
and truly so tempered, that everyone may draw from thence that which is sufficient for him, if he come to draw with a
devout and pious mind, as true Religion requireth." [S. August. de utilitcredendi cap. 6] Thus S. Augustine. and S. Jerome:
"Ama scripturas, et amabit te sapientia etc." [S. Jerome. ad Demetriad] Love the Scriptures, and wisdom will love thee.
And S. Cyril against Julian; "Even boys that are bred up in the Scriptures, become most religious, etc. [S. Cyril. 7 contra
Iulianum] But what mention we three or four uses of the Scripture, whereas whatsoever is to be believed or practiced, or
hoped for, is contained in them? or three or four sentences of the Fathers, since whosoever is worthy the name of a Father,
from Christ’s time downward, hath likewise written not only of the riches, but also of the perfection of the Scripture? "I
adore the fulness of the Scripture," saith Tertullian against Hermogenes. [Tertul. advers. Hermo.] And again, to Apelles an
heretic of the like stamp, he saith; "I do not admit that which thou bringest in (or concludest) of thine own (head or store, de
tuo) without Scripture." [Tertul. de carne Christi.] So Saint Justin Martyr before him; "We must know by all means," saith
he, "that it is not lawful (or possible) to learn (anything) of God or of right piety, save only out of the Prophets, who teach us
by divine inspiration." So Saint Basil after Tertullian, "It is a manifest falling way from the Faith, and a fault of presumption,
either to reject any of those things that are written, or to bring in (upon the head of them) any of those things that are not
written. We omit to cite to the same effect, S. Cyril B. of Jerusalem in his 4::Cataches., Saint Jerome against Helvidius,
Saint Augustine in his 3::book against the letters of Petilian, and in very many other places of his works. Also we forebear
to descend to later Fathers, because we will not weary the reader. The Scriptures then being acknowledged to be so full and
so perfect, how can we excuse ourselves of negligence, if we do not study them, of curiosity, if we be not content with them?
Men talk much of [an olive bow wrapped about with wood, whereupon did hang figs, and bread, honey in a pot, and oil],
how many sweet and goodly things it had hanging on it; of the Philosopher’s stone, that it turned copper into gold; of
Cornucopia, that it had all things necessary for food in it, of Panaces the herb, that it was good for diseases, of Catholicon the
drug, that it is instead of all purges; of Vulcan’s armor, that it was an armor of proof against all thrusts, and all blows, etc.
Well, that which they falsely or vainly attributed to these things for bodily god, we may justly and with full measure ascribe
unto the Scripture, for spiritual. It is not only an armor, but also a whole armory of weapons, both offensive and defensive;
whereby we may save ourselves and put the enemy to flight. It is not an herb, but a tree, or rather a whole paradise of trees
of life, which bring forth fruit every month, and the fruit thereof is for meat, and the leaves for medicine. It is not a pot of
Manna, or a cruse of oil, which were for memory only, or for a meal’s meat or two, but as it were a shower of heavenly
bread sufficient for a whole host, be it never so great; and as it were a whole cellar full of oil vessels; whereby all our
necessities may be provided for, and our debts discharged. In a word, it is a Panary of wholesome food, against fenowed
traditions; a Physician’s shop (Saint Basil called it) [S. Basil in Psal. primum.] of preservatives against poisoned heresies; a
Pandect of profitable laws, against rebellious spirits; a treasury of most costly jewels, against beggarly rudiments; finally a
fountain of most pure water springing up unto everlasting life. And what marvel? The original thereof being from heaven,
not from earth; the author being God, not man; the inditer, the holy spirit, not the wit of the Apostles or Prophets; the
Penmen such as were sanctified from the womb, and endued with a principal portion of God’s spirit; the matter, verity, piety,

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 6
purity, uprightness; the form, God’s word, God’s testimony, God’s oracles, the word of truth, the word of salvation, etc.; the
effects, light of understanding, stableness of persuasion, repentance from dead works, newness of life, holiness, peace, joy in
the holy Ghost; lastly, the end and reward of the study thereof, fellowship with the Saints, participation of the heavenly
nature, fruition of an inheritance immortal, undefiled, and that never shall fade away: Happy is the man that delighted in the
Scripture, and thrice happy that meditateth in it day and night.
TRANSLATION NECESSARY
But how shall men meditate in that, which they cannot understand? How shall they understand that which is kept close in an
unknown tongue? as it is written, "Except I know the power of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh, a Barbarian, and he
that speaketh, shall be a Barbarian to me." [1 Cor 14] The Apostle excepteth no tongue; not Hebrew the ancientest, not
Greek the most copious, not Latin the finest. Nature taught a natural man to confess, that all of us in those tongues which we
do not understand, are plainly deaf; we may turn the deaf ear unto them.
The Scythian counted the Athenian, whom he did not understand, barbarous; [Clem. Alex. 1 Strom.] so the Roman did the
Syrian, and the Jew (even S. Jerome himself called the Hebrew tongue barbarous, belike because it was strange to so many)
[S. Jerome. Damaso.] so the Emperor of Constantinople [Michael, Theophili fil.] calleth the Latin tongue, barbarous, though
Pope Nicolas do storm at it: [2::Tom. Concil. ex edit. Petri Crab] so the Jews long before Christ called all other nations,
Lognazim, which is little better than barbarous. Therefore as one complaineth, that always in the Senate of Rome, there was
one or other that called for an interpreter: [Cicero 5::de finibus.] so lest the Church be driven to the like exigent, it is
necessary to have translations in a readiness. Translation it is that openeth the window, to let in the light; that breaketh the
shell, that we may eat the kernel; that putteth aside the curtain, that we may look into the most Holy place; that removeth the
cover of the well, that we may come by the water, even as Jacob rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, by which
means the flocks of Laban were watered [Gen 29:10]. Indeed without translation into the vulgar tongue, the unlearned are
but like children at Jacob’s well (which is deep) [John 4:11] without a bucket or something to draw with; or as that person
mentioned by Isaiah, to whom when a sealed book was delivered, with this motion, "Read this, I pray thee," he was fain to
make this answer, "I cannot, for it is sealed." [Isa 29:11]
THE TRANSLATION OF THE OLD TESTAMENT OUT OF THE HEBREW INTO GREEK
While God would be known only in Jacob, and have his Name great in Israel, and in none other place, while the dew lay on
Gideon’s fleece only, and all the earth besides was dry; then for one and the same people, which spake all of them the
language of Canaan, that is, Hebrew, one and the same original in Hebrew was sufficient. [S. August. lib 12 contra Faust
c32] But, when the fulness of time drew near, that the Sun of righteousness, the Son of God should come into the world,
whom God ordained to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood, not of the Jew only, but also of the Greek, yea, of all
them that were scattered abroad; then lo, it pleased the Lord to stir up the spirit of a Greek Prince (Greek for descent and
language) even of Ptolemy Philadelph King of Egypt, to procure the translating of the Book of God out of Hebrew into
Greek. This is the translation of the Seventy Interpreters, commonly so called, which prepared the way for our Saviour
among the Gentiles by written preaching, as Saint John Baptist did among the Jews by vocal. For the Grecians being
desirous of learning, were not wont to suffer books of worth to lie moulding in Kings’ libraries, but had many of their
servants, ready scribes, to copy them out, and so they were dispersed and made common. Again, the Greek tongue was well
known and made familiar to most inhabitants in Asia, by reason of the conquest that there the Grecians had made, as also by
the Colonies, which thither they had sent. For the same causes also it was well understood in many places of Europe, yea,
and of Africa too. Therefore the word of God being set forth in Greek, becometh hereby like a candle set upon a candlestick,
which giveth light to all that are in the house, or like a proclamation sounded forth in the market place, which most men
presently take knowledge of; and therefore that language was fittest to contain the Scriptures, both for the first Preachers of

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 7
the Gospel to appeal unto for witness, and for the learners also of those times to make search and trial by. It is certain, that
that Translation was not so sound and so perfect, but it needed in many places correction; and who had been so sufficient for
this work as the Apostles or Apostolic men? Yet it seemed good to the holy Ghost and to them, to take that which they
found, (the same being for the greatest part true and sufficient) rather than making a new, in that new world and green age of
the Church, to expose themselves to many exceptions and cavillations, as though they made a Translations to serve their own
turn, and therefore bearing a witness to themselves, their witness not to be regarded. This may be supposed to be some
cause, why the Translation of the Seventy was allowed to pass for current. Notwithstanding, though it was commended
generally, yet it did not fully content the learned, no not of the Jews. For not long after Christ, Aquila fell in hand with a
new Translation, and after him Theodotion, and after him Symmachus; yea, there was a fifth and a sixth edition, the Authors
whereof were not known. [Epiphan. de mensur. et ponderibus.] These with the Seventy made up the Hexapla and were
worthily and to great purpose compiled together by Origen. Howbeit the Edition of the Seventy went away with the credit,
and therefore not only was placed in the midst by Origen (for the worth and excellency thereof above the rest, as Epiphanius
gathered) but also was used by the Greek fathers for the ground and foundation of their Commentaries. Yea, Epiphanius
above named doeth attribute so much unto it, that he holdeth the Authors thereof not only for Interpreters, but also for
Prophets in some respect [S. August. 2::de dectrin. Christian c. 15]; and Justinian the Emperor enjoining the Jews his
subjects to use especially the Translation of the Seventy, rendreth this reason thereof, because they were as it were
enlightened with prophetical grace. Yet for all that, as the Egyptians are said of the Prophet to be men and not God, and
their horses flesh and not spirit [Isa 31:3]; so it is evident, (and Saint Jerome affirmeth as much) [S. Jerome. de optimo
genere interpret.] that the Seventy were Interpreters, they were not Prophets; they did many things well, as learned men; but
yet as men they stumbled and fell, one while through oversight, another while through ignorance, yea, sometimes they may
be noted to add to the Original, and sometimes to take from it; which made the Apostles to leave them many times, when
they left the Hebrew, and to deliver the sense thereof according to the truth of the word, as the spirit gave them utterance.
This may suffice touching the Greek Translations of the Old Testament.
TRANSLATION OUT OF HEBREW AND GREEK INTO LATIN
There were also within a few hundred years after CHRIST, translations many into the Latin tongue: for this tongue also was
very fit to convey the Law and the Gospel by, because in those times very many Countries of the West, yea of the South,
East and North, spake or understood Latin, being made Provinces to the Romans. But now the Latin Translations were too
many to be all good, for they were infinite (Latini Interprets nullo modo numerari possunt, saith S. Augustine.) [S. Augustin.
de doctr. Christ. lib 2 cap II]. Again they were not out of the Hebrew fountain (we speak of the Latin Translations of the Old
Testament) but out of the Greek stream, therefore the Greek being not altogether clear, the Latin derived from it must needs
be muddy. This moved S. Jerome a most learned father, and the best linguist without controversy, of his age, or of any that
went before him, to undertake the translating of the Old Testament, out of the very fountain with that evidence of great
learning, judgment, industry, and faithfulness, that he had forever bound the Church unto him, in a debt of special
remembrance and thankfulness.
THE TRANSLATING OF THE SCRIPTURE INTO THE VULGAR TONGUES
Now through the Church were thus furnished with Greek and Latin Translations, even before the faith of CHRIST was
generally embraced in the Empire; (for the learned know that even in S. Jerome’s time, the Consul of Rome and his wife
were both Ethnics, and about the same time the greatest part of the Senate also) [S. Jerome. Marcell.Zosim] yet for all that
the godly-learned were not content to have the Scriptures in the Language which they themselves understood, Greek and
Latin, (as the good Lepers were not content to fare well themselves, but acquainted their neighbors with the store that God
had sent, that they also might provide for themselves) [2 Kings 7:9] but also for the behoof and edifying of the unlearned
which hungered and thirsted after righteousness, and had souls to be saved as well as they, they provided Translations into

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 8
the vulgar for their Countrymen, insomuch that most nations under heaven did shortly after their conversion, hear CHRIST
speaking unto them in their mother tongue, not by the voice of their Minister only, but also by the written word translated. If
any doubt hereof, he may be satisfied by examples enough, if enough will serve the turn. First S. Jerome saith, Multarum
gentium linguis Scriptura ante translata, docet falsa esse quae addita sunt, etc. i.e. "The Scripture being translated before in
the languages of many Nations, doth show that those things that were added (by Lucian and Hesychius) are false." [S.
Jerome. praef. in 4::Evangel.] So S. Jerome in that place. The same Jerome elsewhere affirmeth that he, the time was, had
set forth the translation of the Seventy suae linguae hominibus, i.e., for his countrymen of Dalmatia [S. Jerome. Sophronio.]
Which words not only Erasmus doth understand to purport, that S. Jerome translated the Scripture into the Dalmatian tongue,
but also Sixtus Senensis [Six. Sen. lib 4], and Alphonsus a‘ Castro [Alphon. lb 1 ca 23] (that we speak of no more) men not
to be excepted against by them of Rome, do ingenuously confess as much. So, S. Chrysostom that lived in S. Jerome’s time,
giveth evidence with him: "The doctrine of S. John [saith he] did not in such sort [as the Philosophers’ did] vanish away: but
the Syrians, Egyptians, Indians, Persians, Ethiopians, and infinite other nations being barbarous people translated it into their
[mother] tongue, and have learned to be [true] Philosophers," he meaneth Christians. [S. Chrysost. in Johan. cap.I. hom.I.]
To this may be added Theodoret, as next unto him, both for antiquity, and for learning.
His words be these, "Every Country that is under the Sun, is full of these words (of the Apostles and Prophets) and the
Hebrew tongue [he meaneth the Scriptures in the Hebrew tongue] is turned not only into the Language of the Grecians, but
also of the Romans, and Egyptians, and Persians, and Indians, and Armenians, and Scythians, and Sauromatians, and briefly
into all the Languages that any Nation useth. [Theodor. 5. Therapeut.] So he. In like manner, Ulfilas is reported by Paulus
Diaconus and Isidor (and before them by Sozomen) to have translated the Scriptures into the Gothic tongue: [P. Diacon. li.
12.] John Bishop of Sevil by Vasseus, to have turned them into Arabic, about the year of our Lord 717; [Vaseus in Chron.
Hispan.] Bede by Cistertiensis, to have turned a great part of them into Saxon: Efnard by Trithemius, to have abridged the
French Psalter, as Beded had done the Hebrew, about the year 800: King Alfred by the said Cistertiensis, to have turned the
Psalter into Saxon: [Polydor. Virg. 5 histor.] Methodius by Aventinus (printed at Ingolstadt) to have turned the Scriptures
into Slavonian: [Aventin. lib. 4.] Valdo, Bishop of Frising by Beatus Rhenanus, to have caused about that time, the Gospels
to be translated into Dutch rhythm, yet extant in the Library of Corbinian: [Circa annum 900. B. Rhenan. rerum German. lib
2.] Valdus, by divers to have turned them himself into French, about the year 1160: Charles the Fifth of that name,
surnamed the Wise, to have caused them to be turned into French, about 200 years after Valdus his time, of which translation
there be many copies yet extant, as witnesseth Beroaldus. Much about that time, even in our King Richard the second’s
days, John Trevisa translated them into English, and many English Bibles in written hand are yet to be seen with divers,
translated as it is very probable, in that age. So the Syrian translation of the New Testament is in most learned men’s
Libraries, of Widminstadius his setting forth, and the Psalter in Arabic is with many, of Augustinus Nebiensis’ setting forth.
So Postel affirmeth, that in his travel he saw the Gospels in the Ethiopian tongue; And Ambrose Thesius allegeth the Pslater
of the Indians, which he testifieth to have been set forth by Potken in Syrian characters. So that, to have the Scriptures in the
mother tongue is not a quaint conceit lately taken up, either by the Lord Cromwell in England, [Thuan.] or by the Lord
Radevile in Polony, or by the Lord Ungnadius in the Emperor’s dominion, but hath been thought upon, and put in practice of
old, even from the first times of the conversion of any Nation; no doubt, because it was esteemed most profitable, to cause
faith to grow in men’s hearts the sooner, and to make them to be able to say with the words of the Psalms, "As we have
heard, so we have seen." [Ps 48:8]
THE UNWILLINGNESS OF OUR CHIEF ADVERSARIES, THAT THE SCRIPTURES SHOULD BE DIVULGED IN
THE MOTHER TONGUE, ETC.
Now the Church of Rome would seem at the length to bear a motherly affection towards her children, and to allow them the
Scriptures in their mother tongue: but indeed it is a gift, not deserving to be called a gift, an unprofitable gift: [Sophecles]
they must first get a licence in writing before they may use them, and to get that, they must approve themselves to their

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 9
Confessor, that is, to be such as are, if not frozen in the dregs, yet soured with the leaven of their superstition. Howbeit, it
seemed too much to Clement the Eighth that there should be any Licence granted to have them in the vulgar tongue, and
therefore he overruleth and frustrateth the grant of Pius the Fourth. [See the observation (set forth by Clemen. His authority)
upon the 4. rule of Pius the 4. his making in the index, lib. prohib. pag. 15. ver. 5.] So much are they afraid of the light of
the Scripture, (Lucifugae Scripturarum, as Tertulian speaketh) that they will not trust the people with it, no not as it is set
forth by their own sworn men, no not with the Licence of their own Bishops and Inquisitors. Yea, so unwilling they are to
communicate the Scriptures to the people’s understanding in any sort, that they are not ashamed to confess, that we forced
them to translate it into English against their wills. This seemeth to argue a bad cause, or a bad conscience, or both.
Sure we are, that it is not he that hath good gold, that is afraid to bring it to the touchstone, but he that hath the counterfeit;
[Tertul. de resur. carnis.] neither is it the true man that shunneth the light, but the malefactor, lest his deeds should be
reproved [John 3:20]: neither is it the plaindealing Merchant that is unwilling to have the weights, or the meteyard brought in
place, but he that useth deceit. But we will let them alone for this fault, and return to translation.
THE SPEECHES AND REASONS, BOTH OF OUR BRETHREN, AND OF OUR ADVERSARIES AGAINST THIS
WORK
Many men’s mouths have been open a good while (and yet are not stopped) with speeches about the Translation so long in
hand, or rather perusals of Translations made before: and ask what may be the reason, what the necessity of the
employment: Hath the Church been deceived, say they, all this while? Hath her sweet bread been mingled with leaven, here
silver with dross, her wine with water, her milk with lime? (Lacte gypsum male miscetur, saith S. Ireney,) [S. Iren. 3. lib.
cap. 19.] We hoped that we had been in the right way, that we had the Oracles of God delivered unto us, and that though all
the world had cause to be offended and to complain, yet that we had none. Hath the nurse holden out the breast, and nothing
but wind in it? Hath the bread been delivered by the fathers of the Church, and the same proved to be lapidosus, as Seneca
speaketh? What is it to handle the word of God deceitfully, if this be not? Thus certain brethren. Also the adversaries of
Judah and Jerusalem, like Sanballat in Nehemiah, mock, as we hear, both the work and the workmen, saying; "What do these
weak Jews, etc. will they make the stones whole again out of the heaps of dust which are burnt? although they build, yet if a
fox go up, he shall even break down their stony wall." [Neh 4:3] Was their Translation good before? Why do they now
mend it? Was it not good? Why then was it obtruded to the people? Yea, why did the Catholics (meaning Popish
Romanists) always go in jeopardy, for refusing to go to hear it? Nay, if it must be translated into English, Catholics are
fittest to do it. They have learning, and they know when a thing is well, they can manum de tabula. We will answer them
both briefly: and the former, being brethren, thus, with S. Jerome, "Damnamus veteres? Mineme, sed post priorum studia in
domo Domini quod possums laboramus." [S. Jerome. Apolog. advers. Ruffin.] That is, "Do we condemn the ancient? In no
case: but after the endeavors of them that were before us, we take the best pains we can in the house of God." As if he said,
Being provoked by the example of the learned men that lived before my time, I have thought it my duty, to assay whether
my talent in the knowledge of the tongues, may be profitable in any measure to God’s Church, lest I should seem to laboured
in them in vain, and lest I should be thought to glory in men, (although ancient,) above that which was in them. Thus S.
Jerome may be thought to speak.
A SATISFACTION TO OUR BRETHREN
And to the same effect say we, that we are so far off from condemning any of their labors that travailed before us in this
kind, either in this land or beyond sea, either in King Henry’s time, or King Edward’s (if there were any translation, or
correction of a translation in his time) or Queen Elizabeth’s of ever renowned memory, that we acknowledge them to have
been raised up of God, for the building and furnishing of his Church, and that they deserve to be had of us and of posterity in
everlasting remembrance. The judgment of Aristotle is worthy and well known: "If Timotheus had not been, we had not had

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 10
much sweet music; but if Phrynis [Timotheus his master] had not been, we had not had Timotheus." Therefore blessed be
they, and most honoured be their name, that break the ice, and giveth onset upon that which helpeth forward to the saving of
souls. Now what can be more available thereto, than to deliver God’s book unto God’s people in a tongue which they
understand? Since of a hidden treasure, and of a fountain that is sealed, there is no profit, as Ptolemy Philadelph wrote to the
Rabbins or masters of the Jews, as witnesseth Epiphanius: [S. Epiphan. loco ante citato.] and as S. Augustine saith; "A man
had rather be with his dog than with a stranger (whose tongue is strange unto him)." [S. Augustin. lib. 19. de civil. Dei. c. 7.]
Yet for all that, as nothing is begun and perfected at the same time, and the later thoughts are thought to be the wiser: so, if
we building upon their foundation that went before us, and being holpen by their labours, do endeavor to make that better
which they left so good; no man, we are sure, hath cause to mislike us; they, we persuade ourselves, if they were alive,
would thank us. The vintage of Abienzer, that strake the stroke: yet the gleaning of grapes of Ephraim was not to be
despised. See Judges 8:2. Joash the king of Israel did not satisfy himself, till he had smitten the ground three times; and yet
he offended the Prophet, for giving over then. [2 Kings 13:18-19] Aquila, of whom we spake before, translated the Bible as
carefully, and as skilfully as he could; and yet he thought good to go over it again, and then it got the credit with the Jews, to
be called accurately done, as Saint Jerome witnesseth. [S. Jerome. in Ezech. cap. 3.] How many books of profane learning
have been gone over again and again, by the same translators, by others? Of one and the same book of Aristotle’s Ethics,
there are extant not so few as six or seven several translations. Now if this cost may be bestowed upon the gourd, which
affordeth us a little shade, and which today flourisheth, but tomorrow is cut down; what may we bestow, nay what ought we
not to bestow upon the Vine, the fruit whereof maketh glad the conscience of man, and the stem whereof abideth forever?
And this is the word of God, which we translate. "What is the chaff to the wheat, saith the Lord?" [Jer 23:28] Tanti vitreum,
quanti verum margaritum (saith Tertullian,) [Tertul. ad Martyr.] if a toy of glass be of that reckoning with us, how ought we
to value the true pearl? [Jerome. ad Salvin.] Therefore let no man’s eye be evil, because his Majesty’s is good; neither let
any be grieved, that we have a Prince that seeketh the increase of the spiritual wealth of Israel (let Sanballats and Tobiahs do
so, which therefore do bear their just reproof) but let us rather bless God from the ground of our heart, for working this
religious care in him, to have the translations of the Bible maturely considered of and examined. For by this means it
cometh to pass, that whatsoever is sound already (and all is sound for substance, in one or other of our editions, and the
worst of ours far better than their authentic vulgar) the same will shine as gold more brightly, being rubbed and polished;
also, if anything be halting, or superfluous, or not so agreeable to the original, the same may be corrected, and the truth set in
place. And what can the King command to be done, that will bring him more true honour than this? and wherein could they
that have been set a work, approve their duty to the King, yea their obedience to God, and love to his Saints more, than by
yielding their service, and all that is within them, for the furnishing of the work? But besides all this, they were the principal
motives of it, and therefore ought least to quarrel it: for the very Historical truth is, that upon the importunate petitions of the
Puritans, at his Majesty’s coming to this Crown, the Conference at Hampton Court having been appointed for hearing their
complaints: when by force of reason they were put from other grounds, they had recourse at the last, to this shift, that they
could not with good conscience subscribe to the Communion book, since it maintained the Bible as it was there translated,
which was as they said, a most corrupted translation. And although this was judged to be but a very poor and empty shift; yet
even hereupon did his Majesty begin to bethink himself of the good that might ensue by a new translation, and presently
after gave order for this Translation which is now presented unto thee. Thus much to satisfy our scrupulous Brethren.
AN ANSWER TO THE IMPUTATIONS OF OUR ADVERSARIES
Now to the latter we answer; that we do not deny, nay we affirm and avow, that the very meanest translation of the Bible in
English, set forth by men of our profession, (for we have seen none of theirs of the whole Bible as yet) containeth the word
of God, nay, is the word of God. As the King’s speech, which he uttereth in Parliament, being translated into French, Dutch,
Italian, and Latin, is still the King’s speech, though it be not interpreted by every Translator with the like grace, nor
peradventure so fitly for phrase, nor so expressly for sense, everywhere. For it is confessed, that things are to take their
denomination of the greater part; and a natural man could say, Verum ubi multa nitent in carmine, non ego paucis offendor

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 11
maculis, etc. [Horace.] A man may be counted a virtuous man, though he have made many slips in his life, (else, there were
none virtuous, for in many things we offend all) [James 3:2] also a comely man and lovely, though he have some warts upon
his hand, yea, not only freckles upon his face, but also scars. No cause therefore why the word translated should be denied
to be the word, or forbidden to be current, notwithstanding that some imperfections and blemishes may be noted in the
setting forth of it. For whatever was perfect under the Sun, where Apostles or Apostolic men, that is, men endued with an
extraordinary measure of God’s spirit, and privileged with the privilege of infallibility, had not their hand? The Romanists
therefore in refusing to hear, and daring to burn the Word translated, did no less than despite the spirit of grace, from whom
originally it proceeded, and whose sense and meaning, as well as man’s weakness would enable, it did express. Judge by an
example or two. Plutarch writeth, that after that Rome had been burnt by the Gauls, they fell soon to build it again: but
doing it in haste, they did not cast the streets, nor proportion the houses in such comely fashion, as had been most slightly
and convenient; [Plutarch in Camillo.] was Catiline therefore an honest man, or a good patriot, that sought to bring it to a
combustion? or Nero a good Prince, that did indeed set it on fire? So, by the story of Ezra, and the prophecy of Haggai it
may be gathered, that the Temple built by Zerubbabel after the return from Babylon, was by no means to be compared to the
former built by Solomon (for they that remembered the former, wept when they considered the latter) [Ezra 3:12]
notwithstanding, might this latter either have been abhorred and forsaken by the Jews, or profaned by the Greeks? The like
we are to think of Translations. The translation of the Seventy dissenteth from the Original in many places, neither doth it
come near it, for perspicuity, gravity, majesty; yet which of the Apostles did condemn it? Condemn it? Nay, they used it, (as
it is apparent, and as Saint Jerome and most learned men do confess) which they would not have done, nor by their example
of using it, so grace and commend it to the Church, if it had been unworthy of the appellation and name of the word of God.
And whereas they urge for their second defence of their vilifying and abusing of the English Bibles, or some pieces thereof,
which they meet with, for that heretics (forsooth) were the Authors of the translations, (heretics they call us by the same right
that they call themselves Catholics, both being wrong) we marvel what divinity taught them so. We are sure Tertullian was
of another mind: Ex personis probamus fidem, an ex fide personas? [Tertul. de praescript. contra haereses.] Do we try
men’s faith by their persons? we should try their persons by their faith. Also S. Augustine was of another mind: for he
lighting upon certain rules made by Tychonius a Donatist, for the better understanding of the word, was not ashamed to
make use of them, yea, to insert them into his own book, with giving commendation to them so far forth as they were worthy
to be commended, as is to be seen in S. Augustine’s third book De doctrina Christiana. [S. August. 3. de doct. Christ. cap.
30.] To be short, Origen, and the whole Church of God for certain hundred years, were of another mind: for they were so far
from treading under foot, (much more from burning) the Translation of Aquila a Proselyte, that is, one that had turned Jew;
of Symmachus, and Theodotion, both Ebionites, that is, most vile heretics, that they joined together with the Hebrew
Original, and the Translation of the Seventy (as hath been before signified out of Epiphanius) and set them forth openly to be
considered of and perused by all. But we weary the unlearned, who need not know so much, and trouble the learned, who
know it already.
Yet before we end, we must answer a third cavil and objection of theirs against us, for altering and amending our
Translations so oft; wherein truly they deal hardly, and strangely with us. For to whomever was it imputed for a fault (by
such as were wise) to go over that which he had done, and to amend it where he saw cause? Saint Augustine was not afraid
to exhort S. Jerome to a Palinodia or recantation; [S. Aug. Epist. 9.] and doth even glory that he seeth his infirmities. [S.
Aug. Epist. 8.] If we be sons of the Truth, we must consider what it speaketh, and trample upon our own credit, yea, and
upon other men’s too, if either be any way an hindrance to it. This to the cause: then to the persons we say, that of all men
they ought to be most silent in this case. For what varieties have they, and what alterations have they made, not only of their
Service books, Portesses and Breviaries, but also of their Latin Translation? The Service book supposed to be made by S.
Ambrose (Officium Ambrosianum) was a great while in special use and request; but Pope Hadrian calling a Council with the
aid of Charles the Emperor, abolished it, yea, burnt it, and commanded the Service book of Saint Gregory universally to be
used. [Durand. lib. 5. cap. 2.] Well, Officium Gregorianum gets by this means to be in credit, but doth it continue without
change or altering? No, the very Roman Service was of two fashions, the New fashion, and the Old, (the one used in one

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 12
Church, the other in another) as is to be seen in Pamelius a Romanist, his Preface, before Micrologus. the same Pamelius
reporteth out Radulphus de Rivo, that about the year of our Lord, 1277, Pope Nicolas the Third removed out of the Churches
of Rome, the more ancient books (of Service) and brought into use the Missals of the Friers Minorites, and commanded them
to be observed there; insomuch that about an hundred years after, when the above name Radulphus happened to be at Rome,
he found all the books to be new, (of the new stamp). Neither were there this chopping and changing in the more ancient
times only, but also of late: Pius Quintus himself confesseth, that every Bishopric almost had a peculiar kind of service,
most unlike to that which others had: which moved him to abolish all other Breviaries, though never so ancient, and
privileged and published by Bishops in their Dioceses, and to establish and ratify that only which was of his own setting
forth, in the year 1568. Now when the father of their Church, who gladly would heal the sore of the daughter of his people
softly and slightly, and make the best of it, findeth so great fault with them for their odds and jarring; we hope the children
have no great cause to vaunt of their uniformity. But the difference that appeareth between our Translations, and our often
correcting of them, is the thing that we are specially charged with; let us see therefore whether they themselves be without
fault this way, (if it be to be counted a fault, to correct) and whether they be fit men to throw stones at us: O tandem maior
parcas insane minori: they that are less sound themselves, out not to object infirmities to others. [Horat.] If we should tell
them that Valla, Stapulensis, Erasmus, and Vives found fault with their vulgar Translation, and consequently wished the
same to be mended, or a new one to be made, they would answer peradventure, that we produced their enemies for witnesses
against them; albeit, they were in no other sort enemies, than as S. Paul was to the Galatians, for telling them the truth [Gal
4:16]: and it were to be wished, that they had dared to tell it them plainlier and oftener. But what will they say to this, that
Pope Leo the Tenth allowed Erasmus’ Translation of the New Testament, so much different from the vulgar, by his
Apostolic Letter and Bull; that the same Leo exhorted Pagnine to translate the whole Bible, and bare whatsoever charges was
necessary for the work? [Sixtus Senens.] Surely, as the Apostle reasoneth to the Hebrews, that if the former Law and
Testament had been sufficient, there had been no need of the latter: [Heb 7:11 and 8:7] so we may say, that if the old vulgar
had been at all points allowable, to small purpose had labour and charges been undergone, about framing of a new. If they
say, it was one Pope’s private opinion, and that he consulted only himself; then we are able to go further with them, and to
aver, that more of their chief men of all sorts, even their own Trent champions Paiva and Vega, and their own Inquisitors,
Hieronymus ab Oleastro, and their own Bishop Isidorus Clarius, and their own Cardinal Thomas a Vio Caietan, do either
make new Translations themselves, or follow new ones of other men’s making, or note the vulgar Interpreter for halting;
none of them fear to dissent from him, nor yet to except against him. And call they this an uniform tenor of text and
judgment about the text, so many of their Worthies disclaiming the now received conceit? Nay, we will yet come nearer the
quick: doth not their Paris edition differ from the Lovaine, and Hentenius his from them both, and yet all of them allowed by
authority? Nay, doth not Sixtus Quintus confess, that certain Catholics (he meaneth certain of his own side) were in such an
humor of translating the Scriptures into Latin, that Satan taking occasion by them, though they thought of no such matter, did
strive what he could, out of so uncertain and manifold a variety of Translations, so to mingle all things, that nothing might
seem to be left certain and firm in them, etc.? [Sixtus 5. praefat. fixa Bibliis.] Nay, further, did not the same Sixtus ordain by
an inviolable decree, and that with the counsel and consent of his Cardinals, that the Latin edition of the old and new
Testament, which the Council of Trent would have to be authentic, is the same without controversy which he then set forth,
being diligently corrected and printed in the Printinghouse of Vatican? Thus Sixtus in his Preface before his Bible. And yet
Clement the Eighth his immediate successor, published another edition of the Bible, containing in it infinite differences from
that of Sixtus, (and many of them weighty and material) and yet this must be authentic by all means. What is to have the
faith of our glorious Lord JESUS CHRIST with Yea or Nay, if this be not? Again, what is sweet harmony and consent, if
this be? Therefore, as Demaratus of Corinth advised a great King, before he talked of the dissensions of the Grecians, to
compose his domestic broils (for at that time his Queen and his son and heir were at deadly feud with him) so all the while
that our adversaries do make so many and so various editions themselves, and do jar so much about the worth and authority
of them, they can with no show of equity challenge us for changing and correcting.
THE PURPOSE OF THE TRANSLATORS, WITH THEIR NUMBER, FURNITURE, CARE, ETC.

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 13
But it is high time to leave them, and to show in brief what we proposed to ourselves, and what course we held in this our
perusal and survey of the Bible. Truly (good Christian Reader) we never thought from the beginning, that we should need to
make a new Translation, nor yet to make of a bad one a good one, (for then the imputation of Sixtus had been true in some
sort, that our people had been fed with gall of Dragons instead of wine, with whey instead of milk:) but to make a good one
better, or out of many good ones, one principal good one, not justly to be excepted against; that hath been our endeavor, that
our mark. To that purpose there were many chosen, that were greater in other men’s eyes than in their own, and that sought
the truth rather than their own praise. Again, they came or were thought to come to the work, not exercendi causa (as one
saith) but exercitati, that is, learned, not to learn: For the chief overseer and [NOTE: Greek letters omitted] under his
Majesty, to whom not only we, but also our whole Church was much bound, knew by his wisdom, which thing also
Nazianzen taught so long ago, that it is a preposterous order to teach first and to learn after, yea that [NOTE: Greek letters
omitted] to learn and practice together, is neither commendable for the workman, nor safe for the work. [Idem in Apologet.]
Therefore such were thought upon, as could say modestly with Saint Jerome, Et Hebreaeum Sermonem ex parte didicimus,
et in Latino pene ab ipsis incunabulis etc. detriti sumus. "Both we have learned the Hebrew tongue in part, and in the Latin
we have been exercised almost from our very cradle." S. Jerome maketh no mention of the Greek tongue, wherein yet he did
excel, because he translated not the old Testament out of Greek, but out of Hebrew. And in what sort did these assemble? In
the trust of their own knowledge, or of their sharpness of wit, or deepness of judgment, as it were in an arm of flesh? At no
hand. They trusted in him that hath the key of David, opening and no man shutting; they prayed to the Lord the Father of our
Lord, to the effect that S. Augustine did; "O let thy Scriptures be my pure delight, let me not be deceived in them, neither let
me deceive by them." [S. Aug. lib. II. Confess. cap. 2.] In this confidence, and with this devotion did they assemble
together; not too many, lest one should trouble another; and yet many, lest many things haply might escape them. If you ask
what they had before them, truly it was the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, the Greek of the New. These are the two
golden pipes, or rather conduits, where-through the olive branches empty themselves into the gold. Saint Augustine calleth
them precedent, or original tongues; [S. August. 3. de doctr. c. 3. etc.] Saint Jerome, fountains. [S. Jerome. ad Suniam et
Fretel.] The same Saint Jerome affirmeth, [S. Jerome. ad Lucinium, Dist. 9 ut veterum.] and Gratian hath not spared to put it
into his Decree, That "as the credit of the old Books" (he meaneth of the Old Testament) "is to be tried by the Hebrew
Volumes, so of the New by the Greek tongue," he meaneth by the original Greek. If truth be tried by these tongues, then
whence should a Translation be made, but out of them? These tongues therefore, the Scriptures we say in those tongues, we
set before us to translate, being the tongues wherein God was pleased to speak to his Church by the Prophets and Apostles.
Neither did we run over the work with that posting haste that the Septuagint did, if that be true which is reported of them,
that they finished it in 72 days; [Joseph. Antiq. lib. 12.] neither were we barred or hindered from going over it again, having
once done it, like S. Jerome, if that be true which himself reporteth, that he could no sooner write anything, but presently it
was caught from him, and published, and he could not have leave to mend it: [S. Jerome. ad Pammac. pro libr. advers.
Iovinian.] neither, to be short, were we the first that fell in hand with translating the Scripture into English, and consequently
destitute of former helps, as it is written of Origen, that he was the first in a manner, that put his hand to write Commentaries
upon the Scriptures, [Sophoc. in Elect.] and therefore no marvel, if he overshot himself many times. None of these things:
the work hath not been huddled up in 72 days, but hath cost the workmen, as light as it seemeth, the pains of twice seven
times seventy two days and more:
matters of such weight and consequence are to be speeded with maturity: for in a business of movement a man feareth not
the blame of convenient slackness. [S. Chrysost. in II. Thess. cap. 2.] Neither did we think much to consult the Translators or
Commentators, Chaldee, Hebrew, Syrian, Greek or Latin, no nor the Spanish, French, Italian, or Dutch; neither did we
disdain to revise that which we had done, and to bring back to the anvil that which we had hammered: but having and using
as great helps as were needful, and fearing no reproach for slowness, nor coveting praise for expedition, we have at length,
through the good hand of the Lord upon us, brought the work to that pass that you see.
REASONS MOVING US TO SET DIVERSITY OF SENSES IN THE MARGIN, WHERE THERE IS GREAT

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 14
PROBABILITY FOR EACH
Some peradventure would have no variety of senses to be set in the margin, lest the authority of the Scriptures for deciding
of controversies by that show of uncertainty, should somewhat be shaken. But we hold their judgment not to be sound in
this point. For though, "whatsoever things are necessary are manifest," as S. Chrysostom saith, [S. Chrysost. in II. Thess.
cap. 2.] and as S. Augustine, "In those things that are plainly set down in the Scriptures, all such matters are found that
concern Faith, Hope, and Charity. [S. Aug. 2. de doctr. Christ. cap. 9.] Yet for all that it cannot be dissembled, that partly to
exercise and whet our wits, partly to wean the curious from the loathing of them for their everywhere plainness, partly also
to stir up our devotion to crave the assistance of God’s spirit by prayer, and lastly, that we might be forward to seek aid of
our brethren by conference, and never scorn those that be not in all respects so complete as they should be, being to seek in
many things ourselves, it hath pleased God in his divine providence, here and there to scatter words and sentences of that
difficulty and doubtfulness, not in doctrinal points that concern salvation, (for in such it hath been vouched that the
Scriptures are plain) but in matters of less moment, that fearfulness would better beseem us than confidence, and if we will
resolve upon modesty with S. Augustine, (though not in this same case altogether, yet upon the same ground) Melius est
debitare de occultis, quam litigare de incertis, [S. Aug li. S. de Genes. ad liter. cap. 5.] "it is better to make doubt of those
things which are secret, than to strive about those things that are uncertain." There be many words in the Scriptures, which
be never found there but once, (having neither brother or neighbor, as the Hebrews speak) so that we cannot be holpen by
conference of places.
Again, there be many rare names of certain birds, beasts and precious stones, etc. concerning the Hebrews themselves are so
divided among themselves for judgment, that they may seem to have defined this or that, rather because they would say
something, than because they were sure of that which they said, as S. Jerome somewhere saith of the Septuagint. Now in
such a case, doth not a margin do well to admonish the Reader to seek further, and not to conclude or dogmatize upon this or
that peremptorily? For as it is a fault of incredulity, to doubt of those things that are evident: so to determine of such things
as the Spirit of God hath left (even in the judgment of the judicious) questionable, can be no less than presumption.
Therefore as S. Augustine saith, that variety of Translations is profitable for the finding out of the sense of the Scriptures: [S.
Aug. 2. De doctr. Christian. cap. 14.] so diversity of signification and sense in the margin, where the text is no so clear, must
needs do good, yea, is necessary, as we are persuaded. We know that Sixtus Quintus expressly forbiddeth, that any variety
of readings of their vulgar edition, should be put in the margin, [Sixtus 5. praef. Bibliae.] (which though it be not altogether
the same thing to that we have in hand, yet it looketh that way) but we think he hath not all of his own side his favorers, for
this conceit. They that are wise, had rather have their judgments at liberty in differences of readings, than to be captivated to
one, when it may be the other. If they were sure that their high Priest had all laws shut up in his breast, as Paul the Second
bragged, [Plat. in Paulo secundo.] and that he were as free from error by special privilege, as the Dictators of Rome were
made by law inviolable, it were another matter; then his word were an Oracle, his opinion a decision. But the eyes of the
world are now open, God be thanked, and have been a great while, they find that he is subject to the same affections and
infirmities that others be, that his skin is penetrable, and therefore so much as he proveth, not as much as he claimeth, they
grant and embrace.
REASONS INDUCING US NOT TO STAND CURIOUSLY UPON AN IDENTITY OF PHRASING
Another things we think good to admonish thee of (gentle Reader) that we have not tied ourselves to an uniformity of
phrasing, or to an identity of words, as some peradventure would wish that we had done, because they observe, that some
learned men somewhere, have been as exact as they could that way. Truly, that we might not vary from the sense of that
which we had translated before, if the word signified that same in both places (for there be some words that be not the same
sense everywhere) we were especially careful, and made a conscience, according to our duty. But, that we should express
the same notion in the same particular word; as for example, if we translate the Hebrew or Greek word once by PURPOSE,
never to call it INTENT; if one where JOURNEYING, never TRAVELING; if one where THINK, never SUPPOSE; if one

Preface to 1611 Translation King James Version Bible Page 15
where PAIN, never ACHE; if one where JOY, never GLADNESS, etc. Thus to mince the matter, we thought to savour more
of curiosity than wisdom, and that rather it would breed scorn in the Atheist, than bring profit to the godly Reader. For is the
kingdom of God to become words or syllables? why should we be in bondage to them if we may be free, use one precisely
when we may use another no less fit, as commodiously? A godly Father in the Primitive time showed himself greatly
moved, that one of newfangledness called [NOTE: Greek omitted but was a dispute over the word for "a bed"] [Niceph.
Calist. lib.8. cap.42.] though the difference be little or none; and another reporteth that he was much abused for turning
"Cucurbita" (to which reading the people had been used) into "Hedera". [S. Jerome in 4. Ionae. See S. Aug: epist. 10.] Now
if this happens in better times, and upon so small occasions, we might justly fear hard censure, if generally we should make
verbal and unnecessary changings. We might also be charged (by scoffers) with some unequal dealing towards a great
number of good English words. For as it is written of a certain great Philosopher, that he should say , that those logs were
happy that were made images to be worshipped; for their fellows, as good as they, lay for blocks behind the fire: so if we
should say, as it were, unto certain words, Stand up higher, have a place in the Bible always, and to others of like quality,
Get ye hence, be banished forever, we might be taxed peradventure with S. James his words, namely, "To be partial in
ourselves and judges of evil thoughts." Add hereunto, that niceness in words was always counted the next step to trifling,
and so was to be curious about names too: also that we cannot follow a better pattern for elocution than God himself;
therefore he using divers words, in his holy writ, and indifferently for one thing in nature: [see Euseb. li. 12. ex Platon.] we,
if we will not be superstitious, may use the same liberty in our English versions out of Hebrew and Greek, for that copy or
store that he hath given us. Lastly, we have on the one side avoided the scrupulosity of the Puritans, who leave the old
Ecclesiastical words, and betake them to other, as when they put WASHING for BAPTISM, and CONGREGATION instead
of CHURCH: as also on the other side we have shunned the obscurity of the Papists, in their AZIMES, TUNIKE,
RATIONAL, HOLOCAUSTS, PRAEPUCE, PASCHE, and a number of such like, whereof their late Translation is full, and
that of purpose to darken the sense, that since they must needs translate the Bible, yet by the language thereof, it may be kept
from being understood. But we desire that the Scripture may speak like itself, as in the language of Canaan, that it may be
understood even of the very vulgar.
Many other things we might give thee warning of (gentle Reader) if we had not exceeded the measure of a Preface already.
It remaineth, that we commend thee to God, and to the Spirit of his grace, which is able to build further than we can ask or
think. He removeth the scales from our eyes, the vail from our hearts, opening our wits that we may understand his word,
enlarging our hearts, yea correcting our affections, that we may love it to the end. Ye are brought unto fountains of living
water which ye digged not; do not cast earth into them with the Philistines, neither prefer broken pits before them with the
wicked Jews. [Gen 26:15. Jer 2:13.] Others have laboured, and you may enter into their labours; O receive not so great
things in vain, O despise not so great salvation! Be not like swine to tread under foot so precious things, neither yet like dogs
to tear and abuse holy things. Say not to our Saviour with the Gergesites, Depart out of our coast [Matt 8:34]; neither yet
with Esau sell your birthright for a mess of pottage [Heb 12:16]. If light be come into the world, love not darkness more
than light; if food, if clothing be offered, go not naked, starve not yourselves. Remember the advice of Nazianzene, "It is a
grievous thing" (or dangerous) "to neglect a great fair, and to seek to make markets afterwards: also the encouragement of S.
Chrysostom, "It is altogether impossible, that he that is sober" (and watchful) "should at any time be neglected:" [S.
Chrysost. in epist. ad Rom. cap. 14. oral. 26.] Lastly, the admonition and menacing of S. Augustine, "They that despise
God’s will inviting them, shall feel God’s will taking vengeance of them." [S. August. ad artic. sibi falso object. Artic. 16.]
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God; [Heb 10:31] but a blessed thing it is, and will bring us to
everlasting blessedness in the end, when God speaketh unto us, to hearken; when he setteth his word before us, to read it;
when he stretcheth out his hand and calleth, to answer, Here am I, here we are to do thy will, O God. The Lord work a care
and conscience in us to know him and serve him, that we may be acknowledged of him at the appearing of our Lord Jesus
Christ, to whom with the holy Ghost, be all praise and thanksgiving.
Amen.

Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then

And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked
upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad. {40:7} And he
asked Pharaoh’s officers that [were] with him in the ward of
his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye [so] sadly to
day? {40:8} And they said unto him, We have dreamed a
dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said
unto them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me
[them,] I pray you. {40:9} And the chief butler told his
dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a
vine [was] before me; {40:10} And in the vine [were] three
branches: and it [was] as though it budded, [and] her
blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth
ripe grapes: {40:11} And Pharaoh’s cup [was] in my hand:
and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup,
and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand. {40:12} And
Joseph said unto him, This [is] the interpretation of it: The
three branches [are] three days: {40:13} Yet within three
days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto
thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his
hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
{40:14} But think on me when it shall be well with thee,
and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention
of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
{40:15} For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the
Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should
put me into the dungeon. {40:16} When the chief baker saw
that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also
[was] in my dream, and, behold, [I had] three white baskets
on my head: {40:17} And in the uppermost basket [there
was] of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds
did eat them out of the basket upon my head. {40:18} And
Joseph answered and said, This [is] the interpretation
thereof: The three baskets [are] three days: {40:19} Yet
within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off
thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat
wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain
of the guard’s house, both [me] and the chief baker: {41:11}
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we
dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his

him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man
according to his dream he did interpret. {41:13} And it

and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their
cattle for that year. {47:18} When that year was ended, they
came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will
not hide [it] from my lord, how that our money is spent; my
lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in
the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands: {47:19}
Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our
land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land
will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give [us] seed, that we
may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate. {47:20}
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for
the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine
prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s. {47:21}
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from [one]
end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end thereof.
{47:22} Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the
priests had a portion [assigned them] of Pharaoh, and did
eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they
sold not their lands. {47:23} Then Joseph said unto the
people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land
for Pharaoh: lo, [here is] seed for you, and ye shall sow the
land. {47:24} And it shall come to pass in the increase, that
ye shall give the fifth [part] unto Pharaoh, and four parts
shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food,
and for them of your households, and for food for your little
ones. {47:25} And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let
us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be
Pharaoh’s servants. {47:26} And Joseph made it a law over
the land of Egypt unto this day, [that] Pharaoh should have
the fifth [part;] except the land of the priests only, [which]
buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is
Bethlehem. {48:8} And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and
said, Who [are] these? {48:9} And Joseph said unto his
father, They [are] my sons, whom God hath given me in this
[place.] And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I
will bless them. {48:10} Now the eyes of Israel were dim
for age, [so that] he could not see. And he brought them
near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
{48:11} And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to
see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
{48:12} And Joseph brought them out from between his
knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
{48:13} And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right
hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left
hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought [them] near
unto him. {48:14} And Israel stretched out his right hand,
and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who [was] the younger,
and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands

{8:16} And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron,
Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it

And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his

throughout all the land of Egypt. {8:18} And the magicians
did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they

for they [were] not grown up. {9:33} And Moses went out
of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto
the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain
was not poured upon the earth. {9:34} And when Pharaoh
saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased,
he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his
servants. {9:35} And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened,
neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD
had spoken by Moses.{10:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in untoPharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the hear

{19:16} And it came to pass on the third day in the
morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a
thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet
exceeding loud; so that all the people that [was] in the camp
trembled. {19:17} And Moses brought forth the people out
of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether
part of the mount. {19:18} And mount Sinai was altogether
on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire:
and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace,
and the whole mount quaked greatly. {19:19} And when the
voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and
louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
{19:20} And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on
the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses [up] to
the top of the mount; and Moses went up. {19:21} And the
LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest
they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of
them perish. {19:22} And let the priests also, which come
near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD
break forth upon them. {19:23} And Moses said unto the
LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou
chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and
sanctify it. {19:24} And the LORD said unto him, Away,
get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron
with thee: but let not the priests and the people break
through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth
upon them. {19:25} So Moses went down unto the people,
thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with
us, lest we die. {20:20} And Moses said unto the people,
Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear
may be before your faces, that ye sin not. {20:21} And the
people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick
darkness where God [was.]{20:22} And the LORD said unto Moses, T

the tabernacle. {33:9} And it came to pass, as Moses
entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and
stood [at] the door of the tabernacle, and [the] LORD talked
with Moses. {33:10} And all the people saw the cloudy
pillar stand [at] the tabernacle door: and all the people rose
up and worshipped, every man [in] his tent door. {33:11}

his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as
the LORD commanded Moses. {8:10} And Moses took the
anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that [was]
therein, and sanctified them. {8:11} And he sprinkled
thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar
and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify
them. {8:12} And he poured of the anointing oil upon
Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. {8:13}
And Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and put coats upon them,
and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as
the LORD commanded Moses. {8:14} And he brought the
bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid
their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
{8:15} And he slew [it;] and Moses took the blood, and put
[it] upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger,
and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of
the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
{8:16} And he took all the fat that [was] upon the inwards,
and caul [above] the liver, and the two kidneys, and their
fat, and Moses burned [it] upon the altar. {8:17} But the
bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with
consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons
shall eat it. {8:32} And that which remaineth of the flesh
and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. {8:33} And ye shall
not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation

commanded. {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. {9:23} 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 unto all the
people. {9:24} And there came a fire out from before the
LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and
the fat: [which] when all the people saw, they shouted, and
LORD? {10:18} Behold, the blood of it was not brought in
within the holy [place:] ye should indeed have eaten it in the

Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering
and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things
have befallen me: and [if] I had eaten the sin offering to

it shall stand. {27:18} But if he sanctify his field after the

LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow,
or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a
sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:
{15:4} Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the
LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled
with the fourth [part] of an hin of oil. {15:5} And the fourth
[part] of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou
prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
{15:6} Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare [for] a meat offering
two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third [part] of an
hin of oil. {15:7} And for a drink offering thou shalt offer
the third [part] of an hin of wine, [for] a sweet savour unto
the LORD. {15:8} And when thou preparest a bullock [for]
a burnt offering, or [for] a sacrifice in performing a vow, or

mingled with half an hin of oil. {15:10} And thou shalt
bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. {15:11}
Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for
a lamb, or a kid. {15:12} According to the number that ye

these things after this manner, in offering an offering made

and for their goods, and for all their beasts. {35:4} And the
suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites,
[shall reach] from the wall of the city and outward a
thousand cubits round about. {35:5} And ye shall measure
from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits,
and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west
side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two
thousand cubits and the city [shall be] in the midst: this
shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. {35:6} And
among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites [there

manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add
forty and two cities. {35:7} [So] all the cities which ye shall

the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty
of blood: {35:28} Because he should have remained in the
city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after
the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the
land of his possession. {35:29} So these [things] shall be for
a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations
in all your dwellings. {35:30} Whoso killeth any person, the
murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses:
but one witness shall not testify against any person [to cause
him] to die. {35:31} Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction
for the life of a murderer, which [is] guilty of death: but he
shall be surely put to death. {35:32} And ye shall take no
satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that
he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of
the priest. {35:33} So ye shall not pollute the land wherein
ye [are:] for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot
be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the
blood of him that shed it. {35:34} Defile not therefore the

mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched
it out. {1:25} And they took of the fruit of the land in their
hands, and brought [it] down unto us, and brought us word
again, and said, [It is] a good land which the LORD our
God doth give us. {1:26} Notwithstanding ye would not go
up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD
your God: {1:27} And ye murmured in your tents, and said,
Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of
the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the
Amorites, to destroy us. {1:28} Whither shall we go up? our
brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people [is]
greater and taller than we; the cities [are] great and walled
up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the
Anakims there. {1:29} Then I said unto you, Dread not,
neither be afraid of them. {1:30} The LORD your God
which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to
all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; {1:31}
And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the
LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all
the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. {1:32}
Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
{1:33} Who went in the way before you, to search you out a
place to pitch your tents [in,] in fire by night, to shew you
by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day. {1:34}

wroth, and sware, saying, {1:35} Surely there shall not one
of these men of this evil generation see that good land,
which I sware to give unto your fathers, {1:36} Save Caleb
the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give
the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children,
because he hath wholly followed the LORD. {1:37} Also
the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou
also shalt not go in thither. {1:38} [But] Joshua the son of
Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither:
encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. {1:39}
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey,
and your children, which in that day had no knowledge
between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto
them will I give it, and they shall possess it. {1:40} But [as
for] you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness
by the way of the Red sea. {1:41} Then ye answered and
said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will
go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God
commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his
weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill. {1:42}
And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up,
neither fight; for I [am] not among you; lest ye be smitten
before your enemies. {1:43} So I spake unto you; and ye
would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of

good heed unto yourselves therefore: {2:5} Meddle not with
them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much
as a footbreadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau
[for] a possession. {2:6} Ye shall buy meat of them for
money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them
for money, that ye may drink. {2:7} For the LORD thy God
hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth
thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years
the LORD thy God [hath been] with thee; thou hast lacked
nothing. {2:8} And when we passed by from our brethren
the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way
of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned
and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab. {2:9}
And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites,
neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee
of their land [for] a possession; because I have given Ar
unto the children of Lot [for] a possession. {2:10} The
Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and
many, and tall, as the Anakims; {2:11} Which also were
accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call
them Emims. {2:12} The Horims also dwelt in Seir
beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when
they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in
their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession,
which the LORD gave unto them. {2:13} Now rise up, [said
I,] and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the
brook Zered. {2:14} And the space in which we came from
Kadesh-barnea, 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 sware unto them. {2:15} For indeed the hand of the
LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the
money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I
may drink: only I will pass through on my feet; {2:29} (As
the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites
which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over
Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.
{2:30} But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by
him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made
his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand,
as [appeareth] this day. {2:31} And the LORD said unto
me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before
thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
{2:32} Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his
people, to fight at Jahaz. {2:33} And the LORD our God
delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons,
and all his people. {2:34} And we took all his cities at that
time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the
little ones, of every city, we left none to remain: {2:35}
Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the
spoil of the cities which we took. {2:36} From Aroer, which
[is] by the brink of the river of Arnon, and [from] the city
that [is] by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one
city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto
us: {2:37} Only unto the land of the children of Ammon
thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok,
[nor] unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever
the LORD our God forbad us.{3:1} Then we turned, and went up th
host, until they were consumed.{2:16} So it came to pass, when all the men of war wereconsumed and dead from among the peop
in their stead.){2:24} Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over theriver Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon theA

[ask] from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether
there hath been [any such thing] as this great thing [is,] or
hath been heard like it? {4:33} Did [ever] people hear the
voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou
hast heard, and live? {4:34} Or hath God assayed to go
[and] take him a nation from the midst of another [nation,]
by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and
by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great
terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for
you in Egypt before your eyes? {4:35} Unto thee it was
shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he [is]
God; [there is] none else beside him. {4:36} Out of heaven
he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee:
and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou
heardest his words out of the midst of the fire. {4:37} And
because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed
after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty
power out of Egypt; {4:38} To drive out nations from
before thee greater and mightier than thou [art,] to bring
thee in, to give thee their land [for] an inheritance, as [it is]
this day. {4:39} Know therefore this day, and consider [it]
in thine heart, that the LORD he [is] God in heaven above,
and upon the earth beneath: [there is] none else. {4:40}
Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his
commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may
go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that
thou mayest prolong [thy] days upon the earth, which the
shalt not make thee [any] graven image, [or] any likeness
[of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the
earth beneath, or that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:
{5:9} Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve
them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third
and fourth [generation] of them that hate me, {5:10} And
shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and
keep my commandments. {5:11} Thou shalt not take the
name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not
hold [him] guiltless that taketh his name in vain. {5:12}
Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God
hath commanded thee. {5:13} Six days thou shalt labour,
and do all thy work: {5:14} But the seventh day [is] the
sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine
ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within
thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest
as well as thou. {5:15} And remember that thou wast a
servant in the land of Egypt, and [that] the LORD thy God
brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a
stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded
thee to keep the sabbath day.{5:16} Honour thy father and thy moth

themselves from thee, be destroyed. {7:21} Thou shalt not
be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God [is] among
you, a mighty God and terrible. {7:22} And the LORD thy
God will put out those nations before thee by little and little:
thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the
field increase upon thee. {7:23} But the LORD thy God
shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a
mighty destruction, until they be destroyed. {7:24} And he
shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt
destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man
be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
{7:25} The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with
fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold [that is] on them,
nor take [it] unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it [is]
an abomination to the LORD thy God. {7:26} Neither shalt
thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a
cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest it, and

displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to
destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time
also. {9:20} And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to
have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same
time. {9:21} And I took your sin, the calf which ye had
made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, [and] ground
[it] very small, [even] until it was as small as dust: and I
cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the
mount. {9:22} And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at
Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath. {9:23}
Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea,
saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you;
then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD
your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his
voice. {9:24} Ye have been rebellious against the LORD
from the day that I knew you. {9:25} Thus I fell down
before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down
[at the first;] because the LORD had said he would destroy
you. {9:26} I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O
Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance,
which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which
thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
{9:27} Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their
wickedness, nor to their sin: {9:28} Lest the land whence
thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able
to bring them into the land which he promised them, and
because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay
them in the wilderness. {9:29} Yet they [are] thy people and
thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty
require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all
his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God
with all thy heart and with all thy soul, {10:13} To keep the
commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I
command thee this day for thy good? {10:14} Behold, the
heaven and the heaven of heavens [is] the LORD’S thy
God, the earth [also,] with all that therein [is. ]{10:15} Only
the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he
chose their seed after them, [even] you above all people, as
[it is] this day. {10:16} Circumcise therefore the foreskin of
your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. {10:17} For the
LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great
God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons,
nor taketh reward: {10:18} He doth execute the judgment of
the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving
him food and raiment. {10:19} Love ye therefore the
stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. {10:20}
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve,
and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
{10:21} He [is] thy praise, and he [is] thy God, that hath
done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine
eyes have seen. {10:22} Thy fathers went down into Egypt

come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee,
till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto
the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments
and his statutes which he commanded thee: {28:46} And
they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and
upon thy seed for ever. {28:47} Because thou servedst not
the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of
heart, for the abundance of all [things; ]{28:48} Therefore
shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send
against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and
in want of all [things:] and he shall put a yoke of iron upon

tongue thou shalt not understand; {28:50} A nation of fierce
countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old,
nor shew favour to the young: {28:51} And he shall eat the
fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be
destroyed: which [also] shall not leave thee [either] corn,
wine, or oil, [or] the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy

Deuteronomy King James Version Bible Page 134
sheep, until he have destroyed thee. {28:52} And he shall
besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls
come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land:
and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy
land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. {28:53}
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of
thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God
hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness,
wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: {28:54} [So
that] the man [that is] tender among you, and very delicate,
his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife
of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which
he shall leave: {28:55} So that he will not give to any of
them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because
he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness,
wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
{28:56} The tender and delicate woman among you, which
would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the
ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil
toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and
toward her daughter, {28:57} And toward her young one
that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her
children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for
want of all [things] secretly in the siege and straitness,
wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
{28:58} If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this
law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this
glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; {28:59}
Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the
plagues of thy seed, [even] great plagues, and of long
continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
{28:60} Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases
of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave
unto thee. {28:61} Also every sickness, and every plague,
which [is] not written in the book of this law, them will the
LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. {28:62}
And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the
stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not
obey the voice of the LORD thy God. {28:63} And it shall
come to pass, [that] as the LORD rejoiced over you to do
you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice
over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye
shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to
possess it. {28:64} And the LORD shall scatter thee among
all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the
other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither
thou nor thy fathers have known, [even] wood and stone.
{28:65} And among these nations shalt thou find no ease,
neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD
shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes,
and sorrow of mind: {28:66} And thy life shall hang in
doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and
shalt have none assurance of thy life: {28:67} In the
morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at
even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the
fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the
sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. {28:68} And the
LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the
way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more
again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for
in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants,
and unto all his land; {29:3} The great temptations which
thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
{29:4} Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to
perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
{29:5} And I have led you forty years in the wilderness:
your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is
not waxen old upon thy foot. {29:6} Ye have not eaten
bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye
might know that I [am] the LORD your God. {29:7} And
when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon,
and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle,
and we smote them: {29:8} And we took their land, and
gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the
Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh. {29:9} Keep
therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye
may prosper in all that ye do.{29:10} Ye stand this day all of you b
bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy [you.]{29:1} These [are] the words of the covenant, which theLORD commanded

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land,
to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
{29:28} And the LORD rooted them out of their land in
anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them
into another land, as [it is] this day. {29:29} The secret
[things belong] unto the LORD our God: but [those things

{5:2} At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee
sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the
second time. {5:3} And Joshua made him sharp knives, and
circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
{5:4} And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise:
All the people that came out of Egypt, [that were] males,
[even] all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way,
after they came out of Egypt. {5:5} Now all the people that
came out were circumcised: but all the people [that were]
born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of
Egypt, [them] they had not circumcised. {5:6} For the
children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till
all the people [that were] men of war, which came out of
Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice
of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would
not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their
fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk
and honey. {5:7} And their children, [whom] he raised up
in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were
uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by
the way. {5:8} And it came to pass, when they had done
circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places
in the camp, till they were whole. {5:9} And the LORD said
unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of
Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is
called Gilgal unto this day.{5:10} And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, andkept the passover on the fourteenth day of the m

ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my
God. {14:10} And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me
alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the
LORD spake this word unto Moses, while [the children of]
Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I [am] this

Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow
for thee. {17:16} And the children of Joseph said, The hill

whom we passed: {24:18} And the LORD drave out from

[is] our God. {24:19} And Joshua said unto the people, Ye
cannot serve the LORD: for he [is] an holy God; he [is] a
jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor
your sins. {24:20} If ye forsake the LORD, and serve
strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and

were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.{20:12} the And men the tribes of Israel of Israel rose sent up men out of through their all place, thetribe and of put Benjamin,
themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of
Israel came forth out of their places, [even] out of the
meadows of Gibeah. {20:34} And there came against
Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the
battle was sore: but they knew not that evil [was] near them.
{20:35} And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and
the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day
twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these
drew the sword. {20:36} So the children of Benjamin saw
that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to
the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait
which they had set beside Gibeah. {20:37} And the liers in
wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait
drew [themselves] along, and smote all the city with the
edge of the sword. {20:38} Now there was an appointed
sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that
they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of
the city. {20:39} And when the men of Israel retired in the
men that drew sword: all these [were] men of war.{20:18} And the battle, children Benjamin of Israel began arose, to smite and went [and] up kill tothe of house the men of of God, and
Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are
smitten down before us, as [in] the first battle. {20:40} But
when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar
of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold,
the flame of the city ascended up to heaven. {20:41} And
when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin
were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.
{20:42} Therefore they turned [their backs] before the men
of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle
overtook them; and them which [came] out of the cities they
destroyed in the midst of them. {20:43} [Thus] they
inclosed the Benjamites round about, [and] chased them,
[and] trode them down with ease over against Gibeah
toward the sunrising. {20:44} And there fell of Benjamin
eighteen thousand men; all these [were] men of valour.
{20:45} And they turned and fled toward the wilderness
unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the
highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them
unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them. {20:46}
So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and
five thousand men that drew the sword; all these [were] men
of valour. {20:47} But six hundred men turned and fled to
the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock
Rimmon four months. {20:48} And the men of Israel turned
sword.{20:26} Then all the children of Israel, and all the people,went again upon up, and the came children unto of the Benjamin, house of God, and smote and wept, them and with satthere be

{21:8} And they said, What one [is there] of the tribes of
Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And,
behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to
the assembly. {21:9} For the people were numbered, and,
behold, [there were] none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead
there. {21:10} And the congregation sent thither
twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded
them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead
with the edge of the sword, with the women and the
children. {21:11} And this [is] the thing that ye shall do, Ye
shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath
lain by man. {21:12} And they found among the inhabitants
of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had
known no man by lying with any male: and they brought
them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of
Canaan. {21:13} And the whole congregation sent [some]
to speak to the children of Benjamin that [were] in the rock
Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them. {21:14} And
Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them
wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead:
and yet so they sufficed them not. {21:15} And the
people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD
had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.{21:16} Then the elders of the congregation said, Howshall we do for wives for them

{14:4} And between the passages, by which Jonathan
sought to go over unto the Philistines’ garrison, [there was]
a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp rock on the other
side: and the name of the one [was] Bozez, and the name of
the other Seneh. {14:5} The forefront of the one [was]
situate northward over against Michmash, and the other
southward over against Gibeah. {14:6} And Jonathan said
to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go
over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be
that the LORD will work for us: for [there is] no restraint to
the LORD to save by many or by few. {14:7} And his
armourbearer said unto him, Do all that [is] in thine heart:
turn thee; behold, I [am] with thee according to thy heart.
{14:8} Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto
[these] men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.
{14:9} If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you;
then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto

we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our
hand: and this [shall be] a sign unto us. {14:11} And both of
them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the
Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews
come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
{14:12} And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan
and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will
shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer,
Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into
the hand of Israel. {14:13} And Jonathan climbed up upon
his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him:
and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew
after him. {14:14} And that first slaughter, which Jonathan
and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within
as it were an half acre of land, [which] a yoke [of oxen
might plow. ]{14:15} And there was trembling in the host,
in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the
spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was
a very great trembling. {14:16} And the watchmen of Saul
in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude
melted away, and they went on beating down [one another.
]{14:17} Then said Saul unto the people that [were] with
him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when
they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer
[were] not [there. ]{14:18} And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring
hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time
when the people were come into the wood, behold, the
honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for
the people feared the oath. {14:27} But Jonathan heard not
when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore
he put forth the end of the rod that [was] in his hand, and
dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth;
and his eyes were enlightened. {14:28} Then answered one
of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the
people with an oath, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth
[any] food this day. And the people were faint. {14:29}
Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I
pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I
tasted a little of this honey. {14:30} How much more, if
haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their
enemies which they found? for had there not been now a
much greater slaughter among the Philistines? {14:31} And
they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to
Aijalon: and the people were very faint. {14:32} And the
people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and
calves, and slew [them] on the ground: and the people did
eat [them] with the blood.{14:33} Then they told Saul, saying, Beho
LORD.{14:36} And Saul said, Let us go down after thePhil

looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD’S anointed [is]
before him. {16:7} But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look
not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature;
because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as
man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but
the LORD looketh on the heart. {16:8} Then Jesse called
Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said,
Neither hath the LORD chosen this. {16:9} Then Jesse
made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the
LORD chosen this. {16:10} Again, Jesse made seven of his
sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse,
The LORD hath not chosen these. {16:11} And Samuel said
unto Jesse, Are here all [thy] children? And he said, There
remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the
sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for
we will not sit down till he come hither. {16:12} And he
sent, and brought him in. Now he [was] ruddy, [and] withal
of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the
LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this [is] he. {16:13}
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the
midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came
upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and
legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. {17:7}
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. {17:8} And he stood

Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for

fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants:
but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be
our servants, and serve us. {17:10} And the Philistine said, I
defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we
may fight together. {17:11} When Saul and all Israel heard
those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and
greatly afraid.{17:12} Now David [was] the son of that Ephrathite

the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty
thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and
of Ish-tob twelve thousand men. {10:7} And when David
heard of [it,] he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty
men. {10:8} And the children of Ammon came out, and put
the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the
Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah,
[were] by themselves in the field. {10:9} When Joab saw
that the front of the battle was against him before and
behind, he chose of all the choice [men] of Israel, and put
[them] in array against the Syrians: {10:10} And the rest of
the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother,
that he might put [them] in array against the children of
Ammon. {10:11} And he said, If the Syrians be too strong
for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of
Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help
thee. {10:12} Be of good courage, and let us play the men
for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD
do that which seemeth him good. {10:13} And Joab drew
nigh, and the people that [were] with him, unto the battle
against the Syrians: and they fled before him. {10:14} And
when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were
fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the
city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and
the king. {11:9} But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s
house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to
his house. {11:10} And when they had told David, saying,
Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah,
Camest thou not from [thy] journey? why [then] didst thou
not go down unto thine house? {11:11} And Uriah said unto
David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and
my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in
the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to
drink, and to lie with my wife? [as] thou livest, and [as] thy
soul liveth, I will not do this thing. {11:12} And David said
to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let
thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the
morrow. {11:13} And when David had called him, he did
eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at
even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his
lord, but went not down to his house.{11:14} And it came to pass in

the man that was come to him. {12:5} And David’s anger
was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan,

Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But
howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And
Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou
hast no tidings ready? {18:23} But howsoever, [said he,] let
me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by
the way of the plain, and overran Cushi. {18:24} And David
sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the
roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and
looked, and behold a man running alone. {18:25} And the
watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he
[be] alone, [there is] tidings in his mouth. And he came
apace, and drew near. {18:26} And the watchman saw
another man running: and the watchman called unto the
porter, and said, Behold [another] man running alone. And
the king said, He also bringeth tidings. {18:27} And the
watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is
like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king
said, He [is] a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
{18:28} And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is
well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the
king, and said, Blessed [be] the LORD thy God, which hath
delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my
lord the king. {18:29} And the king said, Is the young man
Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the
king’s servant, and [me] thy servant, I saw a great tumult,
but I knew not what [it was. ]{18:30} And the king said
[unto him,] Turn aside, [and] stand here. And he turned
aside, and stood still. {18:31} And, behold, Cushi came;
and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD
hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against
thee. {18:32} And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young
man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of
my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do [thee]
our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the
Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.

{19:31} And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from
Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct
him over Jordan. {19:32} Now Barzillai was a very aged
man, [even] fourscore years old: and he had provided the
king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he [was] a
very great man. {19:33} And the king said unto Barzillai,
Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in
Jerusalem. {19:34} And Barzillai said unto the king, How
long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto
Jerusalem? {19:35} I [am] this day fourscore years old:
[and] can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant
taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the
voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then
should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
{19:36} Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with
the king: and why should the king recompense it me with
such a reward? {19:37} Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn
back again, that I may die in mine own city, [and be buried]
by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy
servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king;
and do to him what shall seem good unto thee. {19:38} And
the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I
will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and
whatsoever thou shalt require of me, [that] will I do for
thee. {19:39} And all the people went over Jordan. And
when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and
blessed him; and he returned unto his own place. {19:40}
Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on
with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king,
after him Joab’s men, and the Cherethites, and the
Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of
Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri. {20:8}
When they [were] at the great stone which [is] in Gibeon,
Amasa went before them. And Joab’s garment that he had
put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle [with] a
sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as
he went forth it fell out. {20:9} And Joab said to Amasa,
[Art] thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by
the beard with the right hand to kiss him. {20:10} But
Amasa took no heed to the sword that [was] in Joab’s hand:
so he smote him therewith in the fifth [rib,] and shed out his
bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died.
So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son
of Bichri. {20:11} And one of Joab’s men stood by him,
and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that [is] for David,
[let him go] after Joab. {20:12} And Amasa wallowed in
blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw
that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the
highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he
saw that every one that came by him stood still. {20:13}
When he was removed out of the highway, all the people
went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.{20:14} An
and also half the people of Israel.{19:41} And, behold, all the men of Israel came to theking, and said unto the king, Why have

the words of the men of Israel.{20:1} And there happened to be there a man of Belial,whose name [was] Sheba, the son of Bichr

Gibeonites [were] not of the children of Israel, but of the
remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had
sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to
the children of Israel and Judah.) {21:3} Wherefore David
said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and
wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the
inheritance of the LORD? {21:4} And the Gibeonites said
unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his
house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And
he said, What ye shall say, [that] will I do for you. {21:5}
And they answered the king, The man that consumed us,
and that devised against us [that] we should be destroyed
from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel, {21:6} Let
seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will
hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, [whom]
the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give [them.
]{21:7} But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of
Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’S oath that
[was] between them, between David and Jonathan the son
of Saul. {21:8} But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the
daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and
Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of
Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai
the Meholathite: {21:9} And he delivered them into the
hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill
before the LORD: and they fell [all] seven together, and
were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days,]
number; and he also was born to the giant. {21:21} And
when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the
brother of David slew him. {21:22} These four were born to
the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the
hand of his servants.{22:1} And David spake unto the LORD the wor

David. {5:2} And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, {5:3}
Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an
house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars
which were about him on every side, until the LORD put
them under the soles of his feet. {5:4} But now the LORD
my God hath given me rest on every side, [so that there is]
neither adversary nor evil occurrent. {5:5} And, behold, I
purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my
God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy
son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall
build an house unto my name. {5:6} Now therefore
command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of
Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and
unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all
that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that [there is] not

{6:5} And against the wall of the house he built chambers
round about, [against] the walls of the house round about,
[both] of the temple and of the oracle: and he made
chambers round about: {6:6} The nethermost chamber
[was] five cubits broad, and the middle [was] six cubits
broad, and the third [was] seven cubits broad: for without
[in the wall] of the house he made narrowed rests round
about, that [the beams] should not be fastened in the walls
of the house. {6:7} And the house, when it was in building,
was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither:
so that there was neither hammer nor axe [nor] any tool of
iron heard in the house, while it was in building. {6:8} The
door for the middle chamber [was] in the right side of the
house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle
[chamber,] and out of the middle into the third. {6:9} So he
built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with
beams and boards of cedar. {6:10} And [then] he built
chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they
rested on the house [with] timber of cedar.{6:11} And the word of the LORD came to Solomon,saying, {6:12} [Concerning] thi

overlaid with gold, within and without.
{6:31} And for the entering of the oracle he made doors
[of] olive tree: the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part
[of the wall. ]{6:32} The two doors also [were of] olive
tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and
palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid [them] with gold,
and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm
trees. {6:33} So also made he for the door of the temple
posts of olive tree, a fourth part [of the wall. ]{6:34} And
the two doors [were of] fir tree: the two leaves of the one
door [were] folding, and the two leaves of the other door
[were] folding. {6:35} And he carved [thereon] cherubims
and palm trees and open flowers: and covered [them] with
gold fitted upon the carved work.{6:36} And he built the inner cour

line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.
{7:16} And he made two chapiters [of] molten brass, to set
upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter
[was] five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter [was]
five cubits: {7:17} [And] nets of checker work, and wreaths
of chain work, for the chapiters which [were] upon the top
of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the
other chapiter. {7:18} And he made the pillars, and two
rows round about upon the one network, to cover the
chapiters that [were] upon the top, with pomegranates: and
so did he for the other chapiter. {7:19} And the chapiters
that [were] upon the top of the pillars [were] of lily work in
the porch, four cubits. {7:20} And the chapiters upon the
two pillars [had pomegranates] also above, over against the
belly which [was] by the network: and the pomegranates
[were] two hundred in rows round about upon the other
chapiter. {7:21} And he set up the pillars in the porch of the
temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name
thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and he called the
name thereof Boaz. {7:22} And upon the top of the pillars
[was] lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.{7:23} And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the onebrim to the other: [

{7:38} Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver
contained forty baths: [and] every laver was four cubits:
[and] upon every one of the ten bases one laver. {7:39} And
he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on
the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side

supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy
people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for
unto thee. {8:53} For thou didst separate them from among
all the people of the earth, [to be] thine inheritance, as thou
spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou
broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD. {8:54}
And it was [so,] that when Solomon had made an end of
praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he
arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on
his knees with his hands spread up to heaven. {8:55} And
he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a
loud voice, saying, {8:56} Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath
given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he
promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good
promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his
servant. {8:57} The LORD our God be with us, as he was
with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us: {8:58}
That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his
ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and
his judgments, which he commanded our fathers. {8:59}
And let these my words, wherewith I have made
supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our
God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant,
and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter
shall require: {8:60} That all the people of the earth may
know that the LORD [is] God, [and that there is] none else.
{8:61} Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD
our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his
statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other
gods, and worship them: {9:7} Then will I cut off Israel out
of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I
have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and
Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
{9:8} And at this house, [which] is high, every one that
passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they
shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and
to this house? {9:9} 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 upon
other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them:
therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.{9:10} And

{10:1} And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of
Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to
prove him with hard questions. {10:2} And she came to
Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare
spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when
she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all
that was in her heart. {10:3} And Solomon told her all her
questions: there was not [any] thing hid from the king,
which he told her not. {10:4} And when the queen of Sheba
had seen all Solomon’s wisdom, and the house that he had
built, {10:5} And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his
servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their
apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he
went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more
spirit in her. {10:6} And she said to the king, It was a true
report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy
wisdom. {10:7} Howbeit I believed not the words, until I
came, and mine eyes had seen [it:] and, behold, the half was
not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame
which I heard. {10:8} Happy [are] thy men, happy [are]
these thy servants, which stand continually before thee,
[and] that hear thy wisdom. {10:9} Blessed be the LORD
thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne
of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore
made he thee king, to do judgment and justice. {10:10} And
she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold,
and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there
came no more such abundance of spices as these which the
queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. {10:11} And the
navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought
in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious
stones. {10:12} And the king made of the almug trees
pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king’s house,
harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such
almug trees, nor were seen unto this day. {10:13} And king
Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatsoever she asked, beside [that] which Solomon gave
her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own
country, she and her servants.{10:14} Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon inone year was six hundred threescore and six t

{11:28} And the man Jeroboam [was] a mighty man of
valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was
industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the
house of Joseph. {11:29} And it came to pass at that time
when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet
Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad
himself with a new garment; and they two [were] alone in
the field: {11:30} And Ahijah caught the new garment that
[was] on him, and rent it [in] twelve pieces: {11:31} And he
said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the
LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom
out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:
{11:32} (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David’s
sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen
out of all the tribes of Israel:) {11:33} Because that they
have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the
goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the
Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon,
and have not walked in my ways, to do [that which is] right
in mine eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my judgments,
as [did] David his father. {11:34} Howbeit I will not take
the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him
prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake,
whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my
statutes: {11:35} But I will take the kingdom out of his
son’s hand, and will give it unto thee, [even] ten tribes.
{11:36} And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David
my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem,
the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
{11:37} And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according
to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
{11:38} And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I
command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do [that is]
right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my
commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with
thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and
will give Israel unto thee. {11:39} And I will for this afflict
the seed of David, but not for ever. {11:40} Solomon
sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and
fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in
be thy servants for ever. {12:8} But he forsook the counsel
of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted
with the young men that were grown up with him, [and]
which stood before him: {12:9} And he said unto them,
What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who
have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father
did put upon us lighter? {12:10} And the young men that
were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt
thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying,
Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou [it] lighter
unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little [finger]
shall be thicker than my father’s loins. {12:11} And now
whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will
add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips,
but I will chastise you with scorpions.{12:12} So Jeroboam and a

{12:28} Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two
calves [of] gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you
to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which
brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. {12:29} And he
set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. {12:30}
And this thing became a sin: for the people went [to
worship] before the one, [even] unto Dan. {12:31} And he
made an house of high places, and made priests of the
lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
{12:32} And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth
month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast
that [is] in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in
Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he
placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had
made. {12:33} So he offered upon the altar which he had
made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, [even]
in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and
ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered
word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water
there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
{13:18} He said unto him, I [am] a prophet also as thou
[art;] and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD,
saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he
may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied unto him.
{13:19} So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his
house, and drank water.{13:20} And it came to pass, as they sat at th

the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad,
the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of
Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, {15:19} [There is] a
league between me and thee, [and] between my father and
thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver
and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of
Israel, that he may depart from me. {15:20} So Ben- hadad
hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts
which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and
Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the
land of Naphtali. {15:21} And it came to pass, when Baasha
heard [thereof,] that he left off building of Ramah, and
dwelt in Tirzah. {15:22} Then king Asa made a
proclamation throughout all Judah; none [was] exempted:
and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber
thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built
with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah. {15:23} The rest
of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did,
and the cities which he built, [are] they not written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless
in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat

house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the

{18:18} And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but
thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the
commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed
Baalim. {18:19} Now therefore send, [and] gather to me all
Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four
hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four
hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table. {18:20} So Ahab sent
unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets
together unto mount Carmel. {18:21} And Elijah came unto
all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two
opinions? if the LORD [be] God, follow him: but if Baal,
[then] follow him. And the people answered him not a
word. {18:22} Then said Elijah unto the people, I, [even] I
only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets
[are] four hundred and fifty men. {18:23} Let them
therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one
bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay [it] on
wood, and put no fire [under:] and I will dress the other
bullock, and lay [it] on wood, and put no fire [under:
]{18:24} And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will
call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth
by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and
said, It is well spoken. {18:25} And Elijah said unto the
prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves,
and dress [it] first; for ye [are] many; and call on the name
of your gods, but put no fire [under. ]{18:26} And they took
the bullock which was given them, and they dressed [it,]
and called on the name of Baal from morning even until
noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But [there was] no voice, nor
any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which
was made. {18:27} And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah
mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he [is] a god; either
he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, [or]
peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. {18:28}
And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner
with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon
them. {18:29} And it came to pass, when midday was past,
and they prophesied until the [time] of the offering of the
[evening] sacrifice, that [there was] neither voice, nor any to
answer, nor any that regarded. {18:30} And Elijah said unto
all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came
near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD [that
was] broken down. {18:31} And Elijah took twelve stones,
according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob,
unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall
be thy name: {18:32} 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.
{18:33} 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. {18:34} 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. {18:35} And the
water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also
with water. {18:36} 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 thou art God in Israel,
and [that] I [am] thy servant, and [that] I have done all these
things at thy word. {18:37} Hear me, O LORD, hear me,
that this people may know that thou [art] the LORD God,
and [that] thou hast turned their heart back again. {18:38}
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. {18:39} 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. {18:40} And Elijah said unto them, Take the
prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took
them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon,
and slew them there.{18:41} And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up
the entrance of Jezreel.{19:1} And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah

said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word
of the LORD to day. {22:6} Then the king of Israel
gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and
said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle,
or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall
deliver [it] into the hand of the king. {22:7} And
Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the LORD
besides, that we might enquire of him? {22:8} And the king
of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, [There is] yet one man,
Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the
LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good
concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the
king say so. {22:9} Then the king of Israel called an officer,
and said, Hasten [hither] Micaiah the son of Imlah. {22:10}
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat
each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place
in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets
prophesied before them. {22:11} And Zedekiah the son of
Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith
the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until
thou have consumed them. {22:12} And all the prophets
prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth- gilead, and
prosper: for the LORD shall deliver [it] into the king’s
hand. {22:13} And the messenger that was gone to call
Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of
the prophets [declare] good unto the king with one mouth:
let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them,
and speak [that which is] good. {22:14} And Micaiah said,
[As] the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that
me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
{22:29} So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of
Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. {22:30} And the king of
Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and
enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king
of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle. {22:31}
But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two
captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither
with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
{22:32} And it came to pass, when the captains of the
chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it [is] the
king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him:
and Jehoshaphat cried out. {22:33} And it came to pass,
when the captains of the chariots perceived that it [was] not
the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
{22:34} And a [certain] man drew a bow at a venture, and
smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness:
wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine
hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
{22:35} And the battle increased that day: and the king was
stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at
even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of
the chariot. {22:36} And there went a proclamation
throughout the host about the going down of the sun,
saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own
country.{22:37} So the king died, and was brought to Samaria;and
will I speak.{22:15} So he came to the king. And the king said untohim, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle,or
his son reigned in his stead.{22:41} And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa

For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to
anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his
father had done.

built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of
the watchmen to the fenced city. {17:10} And they set them
up images and groves in every high hill, and under every
green tree: {17:11} And there they burnt incense in all the
high places, as [did] the heathen whom the LORD carried
away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke
the LORD to anger: {17:12} For they served idols, whereof
the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
{17:13} Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against
Judah, by all the prophets, [and by] all the seers, saying,
Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments
[and] my statutes, according to all the law which I
commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my
servants the prophets. {17:14} Notwithstanding they would
not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their
fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God. {17:15}
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he
made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he
testified against them; and they followed vanity, and
became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] round
about them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged
them, that they should not do like them. {17:16} And they
left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and
made them molten images, [even] two calves, and made a
grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served
Baal. {17:17} And they caused their sons and their
daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and
enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of
the LORD, to provoke him to anger. {17:18} Therefore the
LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of
his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
{17:19} Also Judah kept not the commandments of the
LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which
they made. {17:20} And the LORD rejected all the seed of
Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand
of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. {17:21}
For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made
Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel
from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
{17:22} For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of
Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
{17:23} Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as
he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel
Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, {17:31} And
the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites
burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and
Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. {17:32} So they
feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest
of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them
in the houses of the high places. {17:33} They feared the
LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the
nations whom they carried away from thence. {17:34} Unto
this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the
LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their
ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the
LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named
Israel; {17:35} With whom the LORD had made a
covenant, and charged them saying, Ye shall not fear other
gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor
sacrifice to them: {17:36} But the LORD, who brought you
up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched
out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to
him shall ye do sacrifice. {17:37} And the statutes, and the
ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he
wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye
shall not fear other gods. {17:38} And the covenant that I
have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear
other gods. {17:39} But the LORD your God ye shall fear;
and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
{17:40} Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after
their former manner. {17:41} So these nations feared the
LORD, and served their graven images, both their children,
and their children’s children: as did their fathers, so do they
unto this day.{18:1} Now it came to pass in the third year of Hosh

[that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, after the
abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out
before the children of Israel. {21:3} For he built up again
the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed;
and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did
Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven,
and served them. {21:4} And he built altars in the house of
the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put
my name. {21:5} And he built altars for all the host of
heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. {21:6}
And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed
times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits
and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of
the LORD, to provoke [him] to anger. {21:7} And he set a
graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of
which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In
this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all
tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever: {21:8} Neither
will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land
which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do
according to all that I have commanded them, and according
to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.

he began to reign; and he reigned three months in
Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Hamutal, the
daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. {23:32} And he did [that
which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all
that his fathers had done. {23:33} And Pharaoh-nechoh put
him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might
not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an
hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. {23:34} And
Pharaoh- nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the
room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim,
and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died
there. {23:35} And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold
to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money
according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the
silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one
and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the
poorest sort of the people of the land. {24:15} And he
carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king’s mother,

Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and

Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and
Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;
{15:21} And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and
Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the
Sheminith to excel. {15:22} And Chenaniah, chief of the
Levites, [was] for song: he instructed about the song,

Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai,

done all this greatness, in making known all these great
things. {17:20} O LORD, [there is] none like thee, neither
[is there any] God beside thee, according to all that we have
heard with our ears. {17:21} And what one nation in the
earth [is] like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem
[to be] his own people, to make thee a name of greatness
and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy
people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? {17:22}
For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for
ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God. {17:23}
Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken
concerning thy servant and concerning his house be
established for ever, and do as thou hast said. {17:24} Let it
even be established, that thy name may be magnified for
ever, saying, The LORD of hosts [is] the God of Israel,
[even] a God to Israel: and [let] the house of David thy
servant [be] established before thee. {17:25} For thou, O
my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an
house: therefore thy servant hath found [in his heart] to pray
before thee. {17:26} And now, LORD, thou art God, and
hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: {17:27} Now
therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant,
that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O
LORD, and [it shall be] blessed for ever.{18:1} Now after this it came to pass, that David smotethe Philistines, and subdued them
[and] brought gifts.{18:3} And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah untoHamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the

{18:14} So David reigned over all Israel, and executed
judgment and justice among all his people. {18:15} And
Joab the son Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the
son of Ahilud, recorder. {18:16} And Zadok the son of
Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, [were] the
priests; and Shavsha was scribe; {18:17} And Benaiah the

to hew wrought stones to build the house of God. {22:3}
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the
doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in
abundance without weight; {22:4} Also cedar trees in
abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought
much cedar wood to David. {22:5} And David said,
Solomon my son [is] young and tender, and the house [that
is] to be builded for the LORD [must be] exceeding
magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I
will [therefore] now make preparation for it. So David
praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, [said
David,] to praise [therewith. ]{23:6} And David divided
them into courses among the sons of Levi, [namely,]
Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.{23:7} Of the Gershonites [were,] La

LORD.{24:1} Now [these are] the divisions of the sons of Aaron.

The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and
Ithamar. {24:2} But Nadab and Abihu died before their
father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar
executed the priest’s office. {24:3} And David distributed
them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of
the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their
service. {24:4} And there were more chief men found of the
sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and [thus] were
they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar [there were]
sixteen chief men of the house of [their] fathers, and eight
among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their
fathers. {24:5} Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with
another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors
[of the house] of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of
the sons of Ithamar. {24:6} And Shemaiah the son of
Nethaneel the scribe, [one] of the Levites, wrote them
before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and
Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and [before] the chief of the
fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household
being taken for Eleazar, and [one] taken for Ithamar. {24:7}
Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to
Jedaiah, {24:8} The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
{24:9} The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, {24:10}
The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, {24:11} The
ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, {24:12} The
eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, {24:13} The
thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, {24:14}
The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, {24:15} The
seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses, {24:16} The
nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel, {24:17}
The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to
Gamul, {24:18} The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four
and twentieth to Maaziah. {24:19} These [were] the
orderings of them in their service to come into the house of
the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their
Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and
Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of
their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give
thanks and to praise the LORD. {25:4} Of Heman: the sons
of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and
Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and
Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, [and]
Mahazioth: {25:5} All these [were] the sons of Heman the
king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And
God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
{25:6} All these [were] under the hands of their father for
song [in] the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries,
and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to
the king’s order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman. {25:7} So
the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed
in the songs of the LORD, [even] all that were cunning, was
two hundred fourscore and eight.{25:8} And they cast lots, ward again

lived, saying, What counsel give ye [me] to return answer to
this people? {10:7} And they spake unto him, saying, If
thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak
good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
{10:8} But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave
him, and took counsel with the young men that were
brought up with him, that stood before him. {10:9} And he
said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return
answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying,
Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?
{10:10} And the young men that were brought up with him
spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people
that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke
heavy, but make thou [it] somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt
thou say unto them, My little [finger] shall be thicker than
my father’s loins. {10:11} For whereas my father put a
heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my
father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you]
with scorpions. {10:12} So Jeroboam and all the people
came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade,
saying, Come again to me on the third day. {10:13} And the
king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook
the counsel of the old men, {10:14} And answered them
after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made
your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised
you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
{10:15} So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the
cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word,
which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to
Jeroboam the son of Nebat.{10:16} And when all Israel [saw] that in abundance. the king would And nothearken he desired many unto wives.{12:1} them, the people And answered it came the to k

{11:13} And the priests and the Levites that [were] in all
Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts. {11:14} For the
Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to
Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast
them off from executing the priest’s office unto the LORD:
{11:15} And he ordained him priests for the high places,
and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
{11:16} And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as
set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to
Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.
{11:17} So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and
made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for
three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.{11:18} An

{13:18} Thus the children of Israel were brought under at
that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they
relied upon the LORD God of their fathers. {13:19} And
Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him,
Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns
thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof. {13:20}

of Oded: {15:2} And he went out to meet Asa, and said
unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin;
The LORD [is] with you, while ye be with him; and if ye
seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he
will forsake you. {15:3} Now for a long season Israel [hath
been] without the true God, and without a teaching priest,
and without law. {15:4} But when they in their trouble did
turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was
found of them. {15:5} And in those times [there was] no
peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but
great vexations [were] upon all the inhabitants of the
countries. {15:6} And nation was destroyed of nation, and
city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity. {15:7}
Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for
your work shall be rewarded. {15:8} And when Asa heard
these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took
courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the
land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he
had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the
LORD, that [was] before the porch of the LORD. {15:9}
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers
with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of
Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance,
when they saw that the LORD his God [was] with him.
{15:10} So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem
in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
{15:11} And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of
the spoil [which] they had brought, seven hundred oxen and
seven thousand sheep. {15:12} And they entered into a
covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all
their heart and with all their soul; {15:13} That whosoever
would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to
death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
{15:14} And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice,
and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
{15:15} And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had
sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole
desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them

king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. {18:29} And the
king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself,
and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the
king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.
{18:30} Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains
of the chariots that [were] with him, saying, Fight ye not
with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.
{18:31} And it came to pass, when the captains of the
chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It [is] the king of
Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but
Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God
moved them [to depart] from him. {18:32} For it came to
pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it
was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from
pursuing him. {18:33} And a [certain] man drew a bow at a
venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of
the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine
hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am
wounded. {18:34} And the battle increased that day:
howbeit the king of Israel stayed [himself] up in [his]
chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time
of the sun going down he died.{19:1} And Jehoshaphat the king of Ju

And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with [his] face to the
ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell
before the LORD, worshipping the LORD. {20:19} And the

the people shall keep the watch of the LORD. {23:7} And
the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man
with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever [else] cometh
into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the
king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out. {23:8} So
the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that
Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his
men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that
were to go [out] on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest
dismissed not the courses. {23:9} Moreover Jehoiada the
priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and
bucklers, and shields, that [had been] king David’s, which
[were] in the house of God. {23:10} And he set all the
people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the
right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along
by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
{23:11} Then they brought out the king’s son, and put upon
him the crown, and [gave him] the testimony, and made him
king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said,
God save the king.{23:12} Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the peoplerunning and praising the king, she came to the people

Sixteen years old [was] Uzziah when he began to reign, and
he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s
name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. {26:4} And he did
[that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according
to all that his father Amaziah did. {26:5} And he sought
God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the
visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God
made him to prosper. {26:6} And he went forth and warred
against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath,
and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built
cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines. {26:7} And
God helped him against the Philistines, and against the
Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims. {26:8}
And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name
spread abroad [even] to the entering in of Egypt; for he
strengthened [himself] exceedingly. {26:9} Moreover
Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at
the valley gate, and at the turning [of the wall,] and fortified
them. {26:10} Also he built towers in the desert, and digged
many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country,
and in the plains: husbandmen [also,] and vine dressers in
the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
{26:11} Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that
went out to war by bands, according to the number of their
account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the
ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, [one] of the king’s
captains. {26:12} The whole number of the chief of the
fathers of the mighty men of valour [were] two thousand
and six hundred. {26:13} And under their hand [was] an
army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five
hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king
against the enemy. {26:14} And Uzziah prepared for them
throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and
habergeons, and bows, and slings [to cast] stones. {26:15}
And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning
men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot
arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far

commanded [that] the burnt offering and the sin offering
[should be made] for all Israel. {29:25} And he set the
Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with
psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment
of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the
prophet: for [so was] the commandment of the LORD by his
prophets. {29:26} And the Levites stood with the
instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
{29:27} And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt
offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began,
the song of the LORD began [also] with the trumpets, and
with the instruments [ordained] by David king of Israel.
{29:28} And all the congregation worshipped, and the
singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: [and] all [this
continued] until the burnt offering was finished. {29:29}
And when they had made an end of offering, the king and
all that were present with him bowed themselves, and
worshipped. {29:30} Moreover Hezekiah the king and the
princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the
LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And
they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads
and worshipped. {29:31} Then Hezekiah answered and
said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD,
come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the
house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in
sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free
heart burnt offerings. {29:32} And the number of the burnt
offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore
and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, [and] two hundred
lambs: all these [were] for a burnt offering to the LORD.
{29:33} And the consecrated things [were] six hundred
oxen and three thousand sheep. {29:34} But the priests
were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt
offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help
them, till the work was ended, and until the [other] priests
had sanctified themselves: for the Levites [were] more
upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
{29:35} And also the burnt offerings [were] in
abundance,with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink
offerings for [every] burnt offering. So the service of the
house of the LORD was set in order. {29:36} And Hezekiah
rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the
your fathers [were, but] yield yourselves unto the LORD,
and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for
ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of
his wrath may turn away from you. {30:9} For if ye turn
again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children
[shall find] compassion before them that lead them captive,
so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD
your God [is] gracious and merciful, and will not turn away
[his] face from you, if ye return unto him. {30:10} So the
posts passed from city to city through the country of
Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they
laughed them to scorn, and mocked them. {30:11}
Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun
humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem. {30:12} Also
in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do
the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the
word of the LORD.{30:13} And there assembled at Jerusalem much
people: for the thing was [done] suddenly.{30:1} And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, andwrote letters also to Ephraim

{31:1} Now when all this was finished, all Israel that
were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the
images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down
the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin,
in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly
destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned,

holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king
of Israel did build; [it shall] not [be] a burden upon [your]
shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people
Israel, {35:4} And prepare [yourselves] by the houses of
your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of
David king of Israel, and according to the writing of
Solomon his son. {35:5} And stand in the holy [place]
according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of
your brethren the people, and [after] the division of the
families of the Levites. {35:6} So kill the passover, and
sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that [they]
may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of
Moses. {35:7} And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock,
lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that
were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three
thousand bullocks: these [were] of the king’s substance.
{35:8} And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to
the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and
Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for
the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred [small
cattle,] and three hundred oxen. {35:9} Conaniah also, and
Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and
Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the
Levites for passover offerings five thousand [small cattle,]
and five hundred oxen. {35:10} So the service was
prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the
Levites in their courses, according to the king’s
commandment. {35:11} And they killed the passover, and
the priests sprinkled [the blood] from their hands, and the
Levites flayed [them. ]{35:12} And they removed the burnt
offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of
the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as [it is]
written in the book of Moses. And so [did they] with the
oxen. {35:13} And they roasted the passover with fire
according to the ordinance: but the [other] holy [offerings]
sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided
[them] speedily among all the people. {35:14} And
afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the
priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied]
in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night;
therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the
priests the sons of Aaron. {35:15} And the singers the sons
of Asaph [were] in their place, according to the
commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and
Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters [waited] at every
gate; they might not depart from their service; for their
brethren the Levites prepared for them. {35:16} So all the
service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep
the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of
the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
{35:17} And the children of Israel that were present kept
the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread
seven days. {35:18} And there was no passover like to that
kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither
did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah
kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and
Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho
from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of
Megiddo. {35:23} And the archers shot at king Josiah; and
the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore
wounded. {35:24} His servants therefore took him out of
that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had;
and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was
buried in [one of] the sepulchres of his fathers. And all
Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.{35:25} And Jeremiah lame

mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words,
and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD
arose against his people, till [there was] no remedy. {36:17}
Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees,
who slew their young men with the sword in the house of
their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or
maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave
[them] all into his hand. {36:18} And all the vessels of the
house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the
house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his
princes; all [these] he brought to Babylon. {36:19} And
they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of
Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and
destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof. {36:20} And them
that had escaped from the sword carried he away to
Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until
the reign of the kingdom of Persia: {36:21} To fulfil the

But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh,

it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the

David. {3:16} After him repaired Nehemiah the son of

After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the

the house of Eliashib the high priest. {3:21} After him
repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah the son of Koz another
piece, from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end
of the house of Eliashib. {3:22} And after him repaired the
priests, the men of the plain. {3:23} After him repaired
Benjamin and Hashub over against their house. After him
repaired Azariah the son of Maaseiah the son of Ananiah by

corner unto the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the

me, saying, Come, let us meet together in [some one of] the
villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me
mischief. {6:3} And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I
[am] doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why
should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to
you? {6:4} Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort;
and I answered them after the same manner. {6:5} Then
sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth
time with an open letter in his hand; {6:6} Wherein [was]
written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith
[it, that] thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause
thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king,
according to these words. {6:7} And thou hast also
appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying,

let us take counsel together. {6:8} Then I sent unto him,
saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but
thou feignest them out of thine own heart. {6:9} For they all
made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from
the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, [O God,]
strengthen my hands. {6:10} Afterward I came unto the
house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of
Mehetabeel, who [was] shut up; and he said, Let us meet
together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us
shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee;
yea, in the night will they come to slay thee. {6:11} And I
said, Should such a man as I flee? and who [is there,] that,
[being] as I [am,] would go into the temple to save his life?
I will not go in. {6:12} And, lo, I perceived that God had
not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against
me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. {6:13}
Therefore [was] he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so,
and sin, and [that] they might have [matter] for an evil
report, that they might reproach me. {6:14} My God, think
thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their
works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the
prophets, that would have put me in fear.{6:15} So the wall was fini

for good, [according] to all that I have done for this people.{6:1} Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah,and Geshem the

And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation
both of men and women, and all that could hear with
understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
{8:3} And he read therein before the street that [was] before
the water gate from the morning until midday, before the
men and the women, and those that could understand; and
the ears of all the people [were attentive] unto the book of
the law. {8:4} And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of
wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him
stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and
Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left
hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum,
and Hashbadana, Zechariah, [and] Meshullam. {8:5} And
Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he
was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the
people stood up: {8:6} And Ezra blessed the LORD, the
great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with
lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and
worshipped the LORD with [their] faces to the ground.
{8:7} Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub,
Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad,
Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to
understand the law: and the people [stood] in their place.
{8:8} So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly,
and gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the
reading.{8:9} And Nehemiah, which [is] the Tirshatha, and Ezrathe priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people,said un

the manner.{9:1} Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the
children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with
sackclothes, and earth upon them. {9:2} And the seed of
Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood
and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
{9:3} And they stood up in their place, and read in the book
of the law of the LORD their God [one] fourth part of the
day; and [another] fourth part they confessed, and
worshipped the LORD their God.{9:4} Then stood up upon the s

not. {9:22} Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and
nations, and didst 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. {9:23} Their
children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and
broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst
promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess
[it. ]{9:24} So the children went in and possessed the land,
and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land,
the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their
kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with
them as they would. {9:25} And they took strong cities, and
a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells
digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in
abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat,
and delighted themselves in thy great goodness. {9:26}
Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against
thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy
prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee,
and they wrought great provocations. {9:27} Therefore thou
deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed
them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto
thee, thou heardest [them] from heaven; and according to
thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved
them out of the hand of their enemies. {9:28} But after they
had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest
thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the
dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto
thee, thou heardest [them] from heaven; and many times
didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies; {9:29}
And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them
again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened
not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy
judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and
withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would
not hear. {9:30} Yet many years didst thou forbear them,
and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet
would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the
hand of the people of the lands. {9:31} Nevertheless for thy
great mercies’ sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor
forsake them; for thou [art] a gracious and merciful God.
{9:32} Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and
the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not
all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon
us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on
our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since
the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day. {9:33}
Howbeit thou [art] just in all that is brought upon us; for
thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: {9:34}
Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our
fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy
commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst
testify against them. {9:35} For they have not served thee in
their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest
them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before
them, neither turned they from their wicked works. {9:36}
Behold, we [are] servants this day, and [for] the land that
thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the
good thereof, behold, we [are] servants in it: {9:37} And it
yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set
over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over
our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we
[are] in great distress. {9:38} And because of all this we
make a sure [covenant,] and write [it;] and our princes,

builded them villages round about Jerusalem. {12:30} And
the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified
the people, and the gates, and the wall. {12:31} Then I
brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and
appointed two great [companies of them that gave] thanks,
[whereof one] went on the right hand upon the wall toward
the dung gate: {12:32} And after them went Hoshaiah, and
half of the princes of Judah, {12:33} And Azariah, Ezra,
and Meshullam, {12:34} Judah, and Benjamin, and
Shemaiah, and Jeremiah, {12:35} And [certain] of the
priests’ sons with trumpets; [namely,] Zechariah the son of
Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the
son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
{12:36} And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai,
Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the
musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the
scribe before them. {12:37} And at the fountain gate, which
was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city
of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of
David, even unto the water gate eastward. {12:38} And the
other [company of them that gave] thanks went over against
[them,] and I after them, and the half of the people upon the
wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the
broad wall; {12:39} And from above the gate of Ephraim,
and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the
tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the
sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate. {12:40}
So stood the two [companies of them that gave] thanks in
the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
{12:41} And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin,
Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, [and] Hananiah, with
trumpets; {12:42} And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and
Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and
Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah
[their] overseer. {12:43} Also that day they offered great
sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with
great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that
the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn,
the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded [to be
given] to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and
the offerings of the priests. {13:6} But in all this [time] was
not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of
Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after
certain days obtained I leave of the king: {13:7} And I came
to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for
Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the
house of God. {13:8} And it grieved me sore: therefore I
cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the
chamber. {13:9} Then I commanded, and they cleansed the
chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the
house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.{13:10} An
the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.{13:15} In those da
the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.{12:44} And at that time were some appointed over thechambers for the treasures,
and the Levites sanctified [them] unto the children of Aaron.{13:1} On that day they read in the book of Moses in theaudience of the
greatness of thy mercy.{13:23} In those days also saw I Jews [that]
separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.{13:4} And before this, Eliashib the priest, having theoversight of the chamber of

{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

Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king

which the king [useth] to wear, and the horse that the king
rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:

Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that

sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they
should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending
portions one to another, and gifts to the poor. {9:23} And
the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as
Mordecai had written unto them; {9:24} Because Haman
the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the
Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had
cast Pur, that [is,] the lot, to consume them, and to destroy
them; {9:25} But when [Esther] came before the king, he
commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he
devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head,
and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
{9:26} Wherefore they called these days Purim after the
name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and
[of that] which they had seen concerning this matter, and
which had come unto them, {9:27} The Jews ordained, and
took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as
joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that
they would keep these two days according to their writing,
and according to their [appointed] time every year; {9:28}
And [that] these days [should be] remembered and kept
throughout every generation, every family, every province,
and every city; and [that] these days of Purim should not
fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish
from their seed. {9:29} Then Esther the queen, the daughter
of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority,
to confirm this second letter of Purim. {9:30} And he sent
the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and
seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, [with] words
of peace and truth, {9:31} To confirm these days of Purim
in their times [appointed,] according as Mordecai the Jew
and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had
decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the
fastings and their cry. {9:32} And the decree of Esther
confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the
book.{10:1} And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon theland, and [upon] the isles of the sea. {10:2} And all the actsof his po

runneth upon him, [even] on [his] neck, upon the thick

face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on [his]

thereof upon the earth. {15:30} He shall not depart out of

breath of his mouth shall he go away. {15:31} Let not him
that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his
recompence. {15:32} It shall be accomplished before his

poureth out my gall upon the ground. {16:14} He breaketh

defiled my horn in the dust. {16:16} My face is foul with
weeping, and my eyelids is the shadow of death; {16:17}

pure. {16:18} O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my
cry have no place. {16:19} Also now, behold, my witness
[is] in heaven, and my record [is] on high. {16:20} My
friends scorn me: [but] mine eye poureth out [tears] unto
God. {16:21} Oh that one might plead for a man with God,
as a man [pleadeth] for his neighbour! {16:22} When a few
years are come, then I shall go the way [whence] I shall not

scattered upon his habitation. {18:16} His roots shall be

{18:17} His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and
he shall have no name in the street. {18:18} He shall be
driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
{18:19} He shall neither have son nor nephew among his
people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. {18:20} They
that come after [him] shall be astonied at his day, as they

he restore, and shall not swallow [it] down: according to
[his] substance [shall] the restitution [be,] and he shall not
rejoice [therein. ]{20:19} Because he hath oppressed [and]
hath forsaken the poor; [because] he hath violently taken
away an house which he builded not; {20:20} Surely he
shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that
which he desired. {20:21} There shall none of his meat be
left; therefore shall no man look for his goods. {20:22} In
the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every
hand of the wicked shall come upon him. {20:23} [When]
he is about to fill his belly, [God] shall cast the fury of his
wrath upon him, and shall rain [it] upon him while he is
eating. {20:24} He shall flee from the iron weapon, [and]
the bow of steel shall strike him through. {20:25} It is
drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword
cometh out of his gall: terrors [are] upon him. {20:26} All
darkness [shall be] hid in his secret places: a fire not blown
shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his
tabernacle. {20:27} The heaven shall reveal his iniquity;
and the earth shall rise up against him. {20:28} The increase
of his house shall depart, [and his goods] shall flow away in
the day of his wrath. {20:29} This [is] the portion of a
wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him
the wicked put out! and [how oft] cometh their destruction
upon them! [God] distributeth sorrows in his anger. {21:18}
They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the
storm carrieth away. {21:19} God layeth up his iniquity for
his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know [it.
]{21:20} His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall
drink of the wrath of the Almighty. {21:21} For what
pleasure [hath] he in his house after him, when the number
of his months is cut off in the midst? {21:22} Shall [any]
teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are
high. {21:23} One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at
ease and quiet. {21:24} His breasts are full of milk, and his
bones are moistened with marrow. {21:25} And another
dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with
pleasure. {21:26} They shall lie down alike in the dust, and
the worms shall cover them. {21:27} Behold, I know your
thoughts, and the devices [which] ye wrongfully imagine
against me. {21:28} For ye say, Where [is] the house of the
prince? and where [are] the dwelling places of the wicked?
{21:29} Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do
ye not know their tokens, {21:30} That the wicked is
reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought
forth to the day of wrath. {21:31} Who shall declare his
way to his face? and who shall repay him [what] he hath
done? {21:32} Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and
shall remain in the tomb. {21:33} The clods of the valley
shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after
him, as [there are] innumerable before him. {21:34} How
then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there
remaineth falsehood?{22:1} Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered

before me, stand up. {33:6} Behold, I [am] according to thy
wish in God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
{33:7} Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither
shall my hand be heavy upon thee. {33:8} Surely thou hast
spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of [thy]
words, [saying, ]{33:9} I am clean without transgression, I
[am] innocent; neither [is there] iniquity in me. {33:10}
Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for
his enemy, {33:11} He putteth my feet in the stocks, he
marketh all my paths. {33:12} Behold, [in] this thou art not
just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
{33:13} Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not
account of any of his matters. {33:14} For God speaketh
once, yea twice, [yet man] perceiveth it not. {33:15} In a
dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon
men, in slumberings upon the bed; {33:16} Then he
openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
{33:17} That he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, and
hide pride from man. {33:18} He keepeth back his soul
from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
{33:19} He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and
the multitude of his bones with strong [pain: ]{33:20} So
that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
{33:21} His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen;
and his bones [that] were not seen stick out. {33:22} Yea,
his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the
destroyers. {33:23} If there be a messenger with him, an
interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his
uprightness: {33:24} Then he is gracious unto him, and
saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found
a ransom. {33:25} His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s:
he shall return to the days of his youth: {33:26} He shall
pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he
shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his
righteousness. {33:27} He looketh upon men, and [if any]
say, I have sinned, and perverted [that which was] right, and
it profited me not; {33:28} He will deliver his soul from
going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. {33:29}
Lo, all these [things] worketh God oftentimes with man,
{33:30} To bring back his soul from the pit, to be
enlightened with the light of the living. {33:31} Mark well,
O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
{33:32} If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for
I desire to justify thee. {33:33} If not, hearken unto me:
again unto dust. {34:16} If now [thou hast] understanding,
hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. {34:17} Shall
even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn
him that is most just? {34:18} [Is it fit] to say to a king,
[Thou art] wicked? [and] to princes, [Ye are] ungodly?
{34:19} [How much less to him] that accepteth not the
persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the
poor? for they all [are] the work of his hands. {34:20} In a
moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at
midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken
away without hand. {34:21} For his eyes [are] upon the
ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. {34:22} [There is]
no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of
iniquity may hide themselves. {34:23} For he will not lay
upon man more [than right;] that he should enter into
judgment with God. {34:24} He shall break in pieces
mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
{34:25} Therefore he knoweth their works, and he
overturneth [them] in the night, so that they are destroyed.
{34:26} He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight
of others; {34:27} Because they turned back from him, and
would not consider any of his ways: {34:28} So that they
cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth
the cry of the afflicted. {34:29} When he giveth quietness,
who then can make trouble? and when he hideth [his] face,
who then can behold him? whether [it be done] against a
nation, or against a man only: {34:30} That the hypocrite
reign not, lest the people be ensnared. {34:31} Surely it is
meet to be said unto God, I have borne [chastisement,] I
will not offend [any more: ]{34:32} [That which] I see not
teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
{34:33} [Should it be] according to thy mind? he will
recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose;
and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest. {34:34} Let
men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken
unto me. {34:35} Job hath spoken without knowledge, and
his words [were] without wisdom. {34:36} My desire [is
that] Job may be tried unto the end because of [his] answers
for wicked men. {34:37} For he addeth rebellion unto his
sin, he clappeth [his hands] among us, and multiplieth his
words against God.{35:1} Elihu spake moreover, and said, {35:2} T
hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.{34:1} Furthermore Elihu answered and said, {34:2} Hearmy words, O ye wise [men;]
his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

Job King James Version Bible Page 312
{36:1} Elihu also proceeded, and said, {36:2} Suffer me a
little, and I will shew thee that [I have] yet to speak on
God’s behalf. {36:3} I will fetch my knowledge from afar,
and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. {36:4} For
truly my words [shall] not [be] false: he that is perfect in
knowledge [is] with thee. {36:5} Behold, God [is] mighty,
and despiseth not [any: he is] mighty in strength [and]
wisdom. {36:6} He preserveth not the life of the wicked:
but giveth right to the poor. {36:7} He withdraweth not his
eyes from the righteous: but with kings [are they] on the
throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are
exalted. {36:8} And if [they be] bound in fetters, [and] be
holden in cords of affliction; {36:9} Then he sheweth them
their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
{36:10} He openeth also their ear to discipline, and
commandeth that they return from iniquity. {36:11} If they
obey and serve [him,] they shall spend their days in
prosperity, and their years in pleasures. {36:12} But if they
obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die
without knowledge. {36:13} But the hypocrites in heart
heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. {36:14}
They die in youth, and their life [is] among the unclean.
{36:15} He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth
their ears in oppression. {36:16} Even so would he have
removed thee out of the strait [into] a broad place, where
[there is] no straitness; and that which [should be] set on thy
table should be full of fatness. {36:17} But thou hast
fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice
take hold [on thee. ]{36:18} Because [there is] wrath,
[beware] lest he take thee away with [his] stroke: then a
great ransom cannot deliver thee. {36:19} Will he esteem
thy riches? [no,] not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
{36:20} Desire not the night, when people are cut off in
their place. {36:21} Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this
hast thou chosen rather than affliction. {36:22} Behold,
God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? {36:23}
Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast
wrought iniquity? {36:24} Remember that thou magnify his
work, which men behold. {36:25} Every man may see it;
man may behold [it] afar off. {36:26} Behold, God [is]
great, and we know [him] not, neither can the number of his
years be searched out. {36:27} For he maketh small the
drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour
thereof: {36:28} Which the clouds do drop [and] distil upon
man abundantly. {36:29} Also can [any] understand the
spreadings of the clouds, [or] the noise of his tabernacle?
{36:30} Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth
the bottom of the sea. {36:31} For by them judgeth he the
people; he giveth meat in abundance. {36:32} With clouds
he covereth the light; and commandeth it [not to shine] by
[the cloud] that cometh betwixt. {36:33} The noise thereof
watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright
cloud: {37:12} And it is turned round about by his counsels:
that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the
face of the world in the earth. {37:13} He causeth it to
come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
{37:14} Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider
the wondrous works of God. {37:15} Dost thou know when
God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to
shine? {37:16} Dost thou know the balancings of the
clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in
knowledge? {37:17} How thy garments [are] warm, when
he quieteth the earth by the south [wind? ]{37:18} Hast
thou with him spread out the sky, [which is] strong, [and] as
a molten looking glass? {37:19} Teach us what we shall say
unto him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of
darkness. {37:20} Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man
speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. {37:21} And now
[men] see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the
wind passeth, and cleanseth them. {37:22} Fair weather
cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
{37:23} [Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out:
[he is] excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of
justice: he will not afflict. {37:24} Men do therefore fear
him: he respecteth not any [that are] wise of heart.{38:1} Then the
sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.{37:1} At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved outof his place. {3

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of

that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we [are? ]{38:36}

One is so near to another, that no air can come between
them. {41:17} They are joined one to another, they stick
together, that they cannot be sundered. {41:18} By his
neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes [are] like the
eyelids of the morning. {41:19} Out of his mouth go
burning lamps, [and] sparks of fire leap out. {41:20} Out of
his nostrils goeth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or
caldron. {41:21} His breath kindleth coals, and a flame
goeth out of his mouth. {41:22} In his neck remaineth
strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. {41:23}
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in
themselves; they cannot be moved. {41:24} His heart is as
firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether
[millstone. ]{41:25} When he raiseth up himself, the mighty
are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
{41:26} The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold:
the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. {41:27} He
esteemeth iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood. {41:28}
The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned
with him into stubble. {41:29} Darts are counted as stubble:
he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. {41:30} Sharp stones
[are] under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the

Psalm 1
Book I
{1:1} Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel
of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth
in the
seat of the scornful. {1:2} But his delight [is] in the law
of the LORD; and in his law doth
he meditate day and night. {1:3} And he shall be like a
tree planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall
not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. {1:4}
The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the
wind
driveth away. {1:5} Therefore the ungodly shall not
stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the congregation of the righteous. {1:6} For
the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of
the
ungodly shall perish.
take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his
anointed,
[saying, ]{2:3} Let us break their bands asunder, and
cast away their cords from
us. {2:4} He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the
Lord shall have
them in derision. {2:5} Then shall he speak unto them in
his wrath, and vex them in his
sore displeasure. {2:6} Yet have I set my king upon my
holy hill of Zion. {2:7} I will declare the decree: the LORD
hath said unto me, Thou [art]
my Son; this day have I begotten thee. {2:8} Ask of me,
and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy
possession. {2:9} Thou shalt break them with a rod of
iron; thou shalt dash them in
pieces like a potter’s vessel. {2:10} Be wise now
therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth. {2:11} Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice
with trembling. {2:12} Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and
ye perish [from] the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all
they
that put their trust in him.

of my soul, [There is] no help for him

for me; my glory, and the lifter
up of mine head. {3:4} I cried unto the LORD with my
voice, and he heard me out of his
holy hill. Selah. {3:5} I laid me down and slept; I
awaked; for the LORD sustained me. {3:6} I will not be
afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
[themselves] against me round about. {3:7} Arise, O
LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine
enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the
teeth of the
ungodly. {3:8} Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD:
thy blessing [is] upon thy

heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,
thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. {9:6} O
thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and
thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with
them. {9:7} But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath

righteousness, he shall minister

wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek

lurking places of the villages: in the secret
places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily
set

lion in his den: he lieth in wait
to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he
draweth him

himself, that the poor may fall by
his strong ones. {10:11} He hath said in his heart, God
hath forgotten: he hideth his
face; he will never see [it. ]{10:12} Arise, O LORD; O
God, lift up thine hand: forget not the

God? he hath said in his
heart, Thou wilt not require [it. ]{10:14} Thou hast seen

unto
thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. {10:15} Break
thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man:] seek out
his wickedness [till] thou find none. {10:16} The LORD
[is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished
out of his land. {10:17} LORD, thou hast heard the
desire of the humble: thou wilt

LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my
God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and
the horn
of my salvation, [and] my high tower. {18:3} I will call

Psalms King James Version Bible Page 319
upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so
shall I be saved from mine enemies. {18:4} The sorrows
of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men
made me afraid. {18:5} The sorrows of hell compassed
me about: the snares of death
prevented me. {18:6} In my distress I called upon the
LORD, and cried unto my God: he
heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came
before him,
[even] into his ears. {18:7} Then the earth shook and
trembled; the foundations also of the
hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
{18:8} There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire
out of his
mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. {18:9} He
bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness [was]
under his feet. {18:10} And he rode upon a cherub, and
did fly: yea, he did fly upon
the wings of the wind. {18:11} He made darkness his
secret place; his pavilion round about him
[were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
{18:12} At the brightness [that was] before him his thick
clouds
passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire. {18:13} The
LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave
his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire. {18:14} Yea,
he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot
out lightnings, and discomfited them. {18:15} Then the
channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of
the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at
the blast of
the breath of thy nostrils. {18:16} He sent from above,
he took me, he drew me out of many waters. {18:17} He
delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which
hated
me: for they were too strong for me. {18:18} They
prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was
my stay. {18:19} He brought me forth also into a large
place; he delivered me,
because he delighted in me. {18:20} The LORD
rewarded me according to my righteousness; according
to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
{18:21} For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have
not wickedly
departed from my God. {18:22} For all his judgments
[were] before me, and I did not put away
his statutes from me. {18:23} I was also upright before
him, and I kept myself from mine
iniquity. {18:24} Therefore hath the LORD
recompensed me according to my
righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in
his
eyesight. {18:25} With the merciful thou wilt shew
thyself merciful; with an
upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; {18:26}
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the
froward
thou wilt shew thyself froward. {18:27} For thou wilt
save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down
high looks. {18:28} For thou wilt light my candle: the
LORD my God will enlighten
my darkness. {18:29} For by thee I have run through a
troop; and by my God have I
leaped over a wall. {18:30} [As for] God, his way [is]
perfect: the word of the LORD is
tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him.
{18:31} For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a
rock save our God? {18:32} [It is] God that girdeth me with
strength, and maketh my way
perfect. {18:33} He maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet,]
and setteth me upon my
high places. {18:34} He teacheth my hands to war, so
that a bow of steel is broken
by mine arms. {18:35} Thou hast also given me the
shield of thy salvation: and thy
right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath
made me
great. {18:36} Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,
that my feet did not slip. {18:37} I have pursued mine
enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I
turn again till they were consumed. {18:38} I have
wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are
fallen under my feet. {18:39} For thou hast girded me
with strength unto the battle: thou
hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
{18:40} Thou hast also given me the necks of mine

destroy them that hate me. {18:41} They cried, but
[there was] none to save [them: even] unto the
LORD, but he answered them not. {18:42} Then did I
beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did
cast them out as the dirt in the streets. {18:43} Thou
hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and]
thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people
[whom] I have
not known shall serve me. {18:44} As soon as they hear
of me, they shall obey me: the strangers
shall submit themselves unto me. {18:45} The strangers
shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close
places. {18:46} The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my
rock; and let the God of
my salvation be exalted. {18:47} [It is] God that
avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. {18:48}
He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up
above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered
me from
the violent man. {18:49} Therefore will I give thanks
unto thee, O LORD, among the
heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. {18:50} Great
deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to
his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

for thou hast

adversities; {31:8} And hast not shut me up into the hand of
the enemy: thou hast

me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is
consumed with grief, [yea,] my soul and my belly.
{31:10} For my life is spent with grief, and my years with
sighing: my
strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones
are
consumed. {31:11} I was a reproach among all mine
enemies, but especially among
my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they
that did see
me without fled from me. {31:12} I am forgotten as a
dead man out of mind: I am like a broken
vessel. {31:13} For I have heard the slander of many:
fear [was] on every side:
while they took counsel together against me, they
devised to take
away my life. {31:14} But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I
said, Thou [art] my God. {31:15} My times [are] in thy
hand: deliver me from the hand of mine
enemies, and from them that persecute me. {31:16}
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy
mercies’ sake. {31:17} Let me not be ashamed, O
LORD; for I have called upon thee: let
the wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be silent in the
grave. {31:18} Let the lying lips be put to silence; which

acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not
hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the
LORD; and
thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. {32:6} For
this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time
when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great
waters
they shall not come nigh unto him. {32:7} Thou [art]

thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
Selah. {32:8} I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way
which thou shalt

the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. {32:11} Be

joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.

song; play skilfully with a loud noise. {33:4} For the word
of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are
done] in truth. {33:5} He loveth righteousness and
judgment: the earth is full of the
goodness of the LORD. {33:6} By the word of the
LORD were the heavens made; and all the host
of them by the breath of his mouth. {33:7} He gathereth
the waters of the sea together as an heap: he
layeth up the depth in storehouses. {33:8} Let all the

Psalms King James Version Bible Page 324
earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the
world stand in awe of him. {33:9} For he spake, and it
was [done;] he commanded, and it stood fast. {33:10} The
LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he
maketh the devices of the people of none effect. {33:11}
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of
his heart to all generations. {33:12} Blessed [is] the nation
whose God [is] the LORD: [and] the
people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
{33:13} The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all
the sons of men. {33:14} From the place of his habitation
he looketh upon all the
inhabitants of the earth. {33:15} He fashioneth their
hearts alike; he considereth all their
works. {33:16} There is no king saved by the multitude
of an host: a mighty
man is not delivered by much strength. {33:17} An
horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver
[any] by his great strength. {33:18} Behold, the eye of
the LORD [is] upon them that fear him, upon
them that hope in his mercy; {33:19} To deliver their
soul from death, and to keep them alive in
famine. {33:20} Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he [is]
our help and our shield. {33:21} For our heart shall rejoice
in him, because we have trusted in
his holy name. {33:22} Let thy mercy, O LORD, be

made the waters to stand as an heap. {78:14} In the
daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night
with a light of fire. {78:15} He clave the rocks in the
wilderness, and gave [them] drink as
[out of] the great depths. {78:16} He brought streams
also out of the rock, and caused waters to
run down like rivers. {78:17} And they sinned yet more
against him by provoking the most High
in the wilderness. {78:18} And they tempted God in
their heart by asking meat for their
lust. {78:19} Yea, they spake against God; they said,
Can God furnish a table
in the wilderness? {78:20} 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? {78:21} Therefore the LORD heard
[this,] and was wroth: so a fire was
kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against
Israel; {78:22} Because they believed not in God, and
trusted not in his
salvation: {78:23} Though he had commanded the
clouds from above, and opened the
doors of heaven, {78:24} And had rained down manna
upon them to eat, and had given them
of the corn of heaven. {78:25} Man did eat angels’
food: he sent them meat to the full. {78:26} He caused an
east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power
he brought in the south wind. {78:27} He rained flesh
also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls
like as the sand of the sea: {78:28} And he let [it] fall in
the midst of their camp, round about
their habitations. {78:29} So they did eat, and were well
filled: for he gave them their
own desire; {78:30} They were not estranged from their
lust. But while their meat
[was] yet in their mouths, {78:31} The wrath of God
came upon them, and slew the fattest of them,
and smote down the chosen [men] of Israel. {78:32} For
all this they sinned still, and believed not for his
wondrous works. {78:33} Therefore their days did he
consume in vanity, and their years
in trouble. {78:34} When he slew them, then they
sought him: and they returned and
enquired early after God. {78:35} And they
remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high God
their redeemer. {78:36} Nevertheless they did flatter
him with their mouth, and they
lied unto him with their tongues. {78:37} For their heart
was not right with him, neither were they
stedfast in his covenant. {78:38} But he, [being] full of
compassion, forgave [their] iniquity,
and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he
his anger
away, and did not stir up all his wrath. {78:39} For he
remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind that
passeth away, and cometh not again. {78:40} How oft
did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and] grieve
him in the desert! {78:41} Yea, they turned back and
tempted God, and limited the Holy One
of Israel. {78:42} They remembered not his hand, [nor]
the day when he delivered
them from the enemy. {78:43} How he had wrought his
signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the
field of Zoan: {78:44} And had turned their rivers into
blood; and their floods, that
they could not drink. {78:45} He sent divers sorts of
flies among them, which devoured them;
and frogs, which destroyed them. {78:46} He gave also
their increase unto the caterpiller, and their
labour unto the locust. {78:47} He destroyed their vines
with hail, and their sycomore trees
with frost. {78:48} He gave up their cattle also to the
hail, and their flocks to
hot thunderbolts. {78:49} He cast upon them the
fierceness of his anger, wrath, and
indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among
them. ]{78:50} He made a way to his anger; he spared not
their soul from
death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; {78:51}
And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of [their]
strength in the tabernacles of Ham: {78:52} But made
his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them
in the wilderness like a flock. {78:53} And he led them
on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea
overwhelmed their enemies. {78:54} And he brought
them to the border of his sanctuary, [even to]
this mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased.
{78:55} 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. {78:56} Yet they tempted and provoked the
most high God, and kept not
his testimonies: {78:57} But turned back, and dealt
unfaithfully like their fathers:
they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. {78:58} For
they provoked him to anger with their high places, and
moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
{78:59} When God heard [this,] he was wroth, and greatly
abhorred
Israel: {78:60} So that he forsook the tabernacle of
Shiloh, the tent [which]
he placed among men; {78:61} And delivered his
strength into captivity, and his glory into
the enemy’s hand. {78:62} He gave his people over also
unto the sword; and was wroth with
his inheritance. {78:63} The fire consumed their young
men; and their maidens were not
given to marriage. {78:64} Their priests fell by the
sword; and their widows made no
lamentation. {78:65} Then the Lord awaked as one out
of sleep, [and] like a mighty
man that shouteth by reason of wine. {78:66} And he
smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a
perpetual reproach. {78:67} Moreover he refused the
tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the
tribe of Ephraim: {78:68} But chose the tribe of Judah,
the mount Zion which he loved. {78:69} And he built his
sanctuary like high [palaces,] like the earth
which he hath established for ever. {78:70} He chose
David also his servant, and took him from the
sheepfolds: {78:71} From following the ewes great with
young he brought him to feed
Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. {78:72} So
he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and
guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

like water round about Jerusalem; and
[there was] none to bury [them. ]{79:4} We are become
a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and
derision to them that are round about us. {79:5} How
long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy
burn like fire? {79:6} Pour out thy wrath upon the
heathen that have not known thee,
and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy
name. {79:7} For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste
his dwelling place. {79:8} O remember not against us
former iniquities: let thy tender
mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very
low. {79:9} Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory
of thy name: and
deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s
sake. {79:10} Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is]
their God? let him
be known among the heathen in our sight [by] the
revenging of the
blood of thy servants [which is] shed. {79:11} Let the
sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to
the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are
appointed
to die; {79:12} And render unto our neighbours

reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

thou be angry against the
prayer of thy people? {80:5} Thou feedest them with the
bread of tears; and givest them tears
to drink in great measure. {80:6} Thou makest us a
strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies
laugh among themselves. {80:7} Turn us again, O God
of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and
we shall be saved. {80:8} Thou hast brought a vine out
of Egypt: thou hast cast out the
heathen, and planted it. {80:9} Thou preparedst [room]
before it, and didst cause it to take
deep root, and it filled the land. {80:10} The hills were
covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs
thereof [were like] the goodly cedars. {80:11} She sent
out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the
river. {80:12} Why hast thou [then] broken down her
hedges, so that all they
which pass by the way do pluck her? {80:13} The boar
out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of
the field doth devour it. {80:14} Return, we beseech
thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven,
and behold, and visit this vine; {80:15} And the
vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the
branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself. {80:16} [It
is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish at the
rebuke of thy countenance. {80:17} Let thy hand be
upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of
man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself. {80:18} So
will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call
upon thy name. {80:19} Turn us again, O LORD God of
hosts, cause thy face to shine;
and we shall be saved.

mercy [shall be] with him: and in my
name shall his horn be exalted. {89:25} I will set his
hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the
rivers. {89:26} He shall cry unto me, Thou [art] my
father, my God, and the

[my] firstborn, higher than the kings of

shall stand fast with him. {89:29} His seed also will I
make [to endure] for ever, and his throne
as the days of heaven. {89:30} If his children forsake
my law, and walk not in my judgments; {89:31} If they
break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
{89:32} Then will I visit their transgression with the rod,
and their
iniquity with stripes. {89:33} Nevertheless my
lovingkindness will I not utterly take from
him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. {89:34} My
covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone
out of my lips. {89:35} Once have I sworn by my

faithful witness in heaven. Selah. {89:38} But thou hast
cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with
thine anointed. {89:39} Thou hast made void the
covenant of thy servant: thou hast
profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.
{89:40} Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast
brought his
strong holds to ruin. {89:41} All that pass by the way
spoil him: he is a reproach to his
neighbours. {89:42} Thou hast set up the right hand of
his adversaries; thou hast
made all his enemies to rejoice. {89:43} Thou hast also
turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made
him to stand in the battle. {89:44} Thou hast made his
glory to cease, and cast his throne down to
the ground. {89:45} The days of his youth hast thou
shortened: thou hast covered
him with shame. Selah. {89:46} How long, LORD? wilt
thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy
wrath burn like fire? {89:47} Remember how short my
time is: wherefore hast thou made all men
in vain? {89:48} What man [is he that] liveth, and shall
not see death? shall he
deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
{89:49} Lord, where [are] thy former lovingkindnesses,
[which] thou
swarest unto David in thy truth? {89:50} Remember,
Lord, the reproach of thy servants; [how] I do bear
in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty people;
{89:51} Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O
LORD; wherewith they
have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. {89:52}

Book IV
A Prayer of Moses the man of God.{90:1} LORD, thou hast been o
forth, or ever thou hadst
formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to
everlasting, thou [art] God. {90:3} Thou turnest man to
destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children
of men. {90:4} For a thousand years in thy sight [are
but] as yesterday when it
is past, and [as] a watch in the night. {90:5} Thou
carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep:
in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up.
{90:6} In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the
evening it
is cut down, and withereth. {90:7} For we are consumed
by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we
troubled. {90:8} Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,
our secret [sins] in
the light of thy countenance. {90:9} For all our days are
passed away in thy wrath: we spend our
years as a tale [that is told. ]{90:10} The days of our
years [are] threescore years and ten; and if
by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is]
their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we
fly
away. {90:11} Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
even according to thy
fear, [so is] thy wrath. {90:12} So teach [us] to number
our days, that we may apply [our]
hearts unto wisdom. {90:13} Return, O LORD, how
long? and let it repent thee concerning thy
servants. {90:14} O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that
we may rejoice and be
glad all our days. {90:15} Make us glad according to the
days [wherein] thou hast
afflicted us, [and] the years [wherein] we have seen evil.
{90:16} Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy
glory unto their
children. {90:17} And let the beauty of the LORD our
God be upon us: and
establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the
work of
our hands establish thou it.
Psalm 91{91:1} He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High

say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my
God; in him will I trust. {91:3} Surely he shall deliver
thee from the snare of the fowler, [and]
from the noisome pestilence. {91:4} He shall cover thee
with his feathers, and under his wings shalt
thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.
{91:5} Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor]
for the
arrow [that] flieth by day; {91:6} [Nor] for the
pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for
the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday. {91:7} A
thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right
hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee. {91:8} Only
with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the

[which is] my refuge, [even]
the most High, thy habitation; {91:10} There shall no
evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come
nigh thy dwelling. {91:11} For he shall give his angels
charge over thee, to keep thee in
all thy ways. {91:12} They shall bear thee up in [their]
hands, lest thou dash thy
foot against a stone. {91:13} Thou shalt tread upon the
lion and adder: the young lion and
the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. {91:14}
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I
deliver

stood above the mountains. {104:7} At thy rebuke they
fled; at the voice of thy thunder they
hasted away. {104:8} They go up by the mountains;
they go down by the valleys unto
the place which thou hast founded for them. {104:9}
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they

he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the

west, from the north, and from the south. {107:4} They
wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found
no city to dwell in. {107:5} Hungry and thirsty, their
soul fainted in them. {107:6} Then they cried unto the
LORD in their trouble, [and] he
delivered them out of their distresses. {107:7} And he

rebelled against the words of God, and contemned

brought down their heart with labour; they fell
down, and [there was] none to help. {107:13} Then they
cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved
them out of their distresses. {107:14} He brought them
out of darkness and the shadow of death, and
brake their bands in sunder. {107:15} Oh that [men]
would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and
[for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
{107:16} For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the
bars of
iron in sunder. {107:17} Fools because of their
transgression, and because of their
iniquities, are afflicted. {107:18} Their soul abhorreth

LORD in their trouble, [and] he saveth
them out of their distresses. {107:20} He sent his word,
and healed them, and delivered [them] from
their destructions. {107:21} Oh that [men] would praise
the LORD [for] his goodness, and
[for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

A [Psalm] of David.{144:1} Blessed [be] the LORD my strength, O LORD; and which thy saints shall
bless thee. {145:11} They shall speak of the glory of thy
kingdom, and talk of thy
power; {145:12} To make known to the sons of men his
mighty acts, and the
glorious majesty of his kingdom. {145:13} Thy
kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion
[endureth] throughout all generations. {145:14} The
LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all [those
that be] bowed down. {145:15} The eyes of all wait
upon thee; and thou givest them their
meat in due season. {145:16} Thou openest thine hand,
and satisfiest the desire of every
living thing. {145:17} The LORD [is] righteous in all
his ways, and holy in all his
works. {145:18} The LORD [is] nigh unto all them that
call upon him, to all
that call upon him in truth. {145:19} He will fulfil the
desire of them that fear him: he also will
hear their cry, and will save them. {145:20} The LORD
preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked
will he destroy. {145:21} My mouth shall speak the
praise of the LORD: and let all flesh
bless his holy name for ever and ever.

war, [and] my fingers to fight: {144:2} My goodness,
and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer;
my shield, and [he] in whom I trust; who subdueth my
people under
me. {144:3} LORD, what [is] man, that thou takest
knowledge of him! [or]
the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
{144:4} Man is like to vanity: his days [are] as a shadow
that passeth
away. {144:5} Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come
down: touch the mountains,
and they shall smoke. {144:6} Cast forth lightning, and
scatter them: shoot out thine arrows,
and destroy them. {144:7} Send thine hand from above;
rid me, and deliver me out of great
waters, from the hand of strange children; {144:8}
Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is] a
right
hand of falsehood. {144:9} I will sing a new song unto
thee, O God: upon a psaltery [and]
an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
{144:10} [It is he] that giveth salvation unto kings: who
delivereth
David his servant from the hurtful sword. {144:11} Rid
me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children,
whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is] a
right
hand of falsehood: {144:12} That our sons [may be] as
plants grown up in their youth;
[that] our daughters [may be] as corner stones, polished
[after]
the similitude of a palace: {144:13} [That] our garners
[may be] full, affording all manner of
store: [that] our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten
thousands in our streets: {144:14} [That] our oxen [may
be] strong to labour; [that there be] no
breaking in, nor going out; that [there be] no
complaining in our
streets. {144:15} Happy [is that] people, that is in such a

trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom
[there is] no help. {146:4} His breath goeth forth, he
returneth to his earth; in that very
day his thoughts perish. {146:5} Happy [is he] that
[hath] the God of Jacob for his help, whose
hope [is] in the LORD his God: {146:6} Which made
heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein
[is:] which keepeth truth for ever: {146:7} Which
executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food
to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: {146:8}
The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD
raiseth them
that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together

the outcasts of Israel. {147:3} He healeth the broken in
heart, and bindeth up their wounds. {147:4} He telleth the
number of the stars; he calleth them all by
[their] names. {147:5} Great [is] our Lord, and of great
power: his understanding [is]
infinite. {147:6} The LORD lifteth up the meek: he
casteth the wicked down to the
ground. {147:7} Sing unto the LORD with
thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp
unto our God: {147:8} Who covereth the heaven with
clouds, who prepareth rain for the
earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
{147:9} He giveth to the beast his food, [and] to the young
ravens
which cry. {147:10} He delighteth not in the strength of
the horse: he taketh not
pleasure in the legs of a man. {147:11} The LORD
taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that
hope in his mercy. {147:12} Praise the LORD, O
Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. {147:13} For he hath
strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath
blessed thy children within thee. {147:14} He maketh
peace [in] thy borders, [and] filleth thee with the
finest of the wheat. {147:15} He sendeth forth his
commandment [upon] earth: his word
runneth very swiftly. {147:16} He giveth snow like
wool: he scattereth the hoar frost like
ashes. {147:17} He casteth forth his ice like morsels:
who can stand before
his cold? {147:18} He sendeth out his word, and
melteth them: he causeth his wind
to blow, [and] the waters flow. {147:19} He sheweth his
word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments
unto Israel. {147:20} He hath not dealt so with any
nation: and [as for his]
judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the
LORD.
Psalm 148{148:1} Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the
heavens: praise
him in the heights. {148:2} Praise ye him, all his angels:
praise ye him, all his hosts. {148:3} Praise ye him, sun and
moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. {148:4} Praise him,
ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that [be]
above the heavens. {148:5} Let them praise the name of
the LORD: for he commanded, and
they were created. {148:6} He hath also stablished them
for ever and ever: he hath made a
decree which shall not pass. {148:7} Praise the LORD
from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: {148:8} Fire, and
hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his
word: {148:9} Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees,
and all cedars: {148:10} Beasts, and all cattle; creeping
things, and flying fowl: {148:11} Kings of the earth, and all
people; princes, and all judges of
the earth: {148:12} Both young men, and maidens; old
men, and children: {148:13} Let them praise the name of
the LORD: for his name alone is
excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.
{148:14} He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise
of all his
saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near
unto him.
Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 149
{149:1} Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new
song, [and] his
praise in the congregation of saints. {149:2} Let Israel
rejoice in him that made him: let the children of
Zion be joyful in their King. {149:3} Let them praise his
name in the dance: let them sing praises
unto him with the timbrel and harp. {149:4} For the
LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify
the meek with salvation. {149:5} Let the saints be joyful
in glory: let them sing aloud upon
their beds. {149:6} [Let] the high [praises] of God [be]
in their mouth, and a
twoedged sword in their hand; {149:7} To execute
vengeance upon the heathen, [and] punishments upon
the people; {149:8} To bind their kings with chains, and
their nobles with fetters
of iron; {149:9} To execute upon them the judgment
written: this honour have all
his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 150{150:1} Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary

mighty acts: praise him according to his
excellent greatness. {150:3} Praise him with the sound
of the trumpet: praise him with the
psaltery and harp. {150:4} Praise him with the timbrel
and dance: praise him with stringed
instruments and organs. {150:5} Praise him upon the
loud cymbals: praise him upon the high
sounding cymbals. {150:6} Let every thing that hath
breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the

crown of the wise is their riches: [but] the foolishness of
fools [is] folly. {14:25} A true witness delivereth souls: but
a deceitful [witness] speaketh lies. {14:26} In the fear of the
LORD [is] strong confidence: and his children shall have a
place of refuge. {14:27} The fear of the LORD [is] a
fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. {14:28}
In the multitude of people [is] the king’s honour: but in the
want of people [is] the destruction of the prince. {14:29}
[He that is] slow to wrath [is] of great understanding: but
[he that is] hasty of spirit exalteth folly. {14:30} A sound
heart [is] the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the
bones. {14:31} He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his
Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
{14:32} The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but
the righteous hath hope in his death. {14:33} Wisdom
resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but [that
which is] in the midst of fools is made known. {14:34}
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin [is] a reproach to
any people. {14:35} The king’s favour [is] toward a wise
of the wicked poureth out evil things. {15:29} The LORD
[is] far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the
righteous. {15:30} The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart:
[and] a good report maketh the bones fat. {15:31} The ear
that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
{15:32} He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul:
but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. {15:33}

Proverbs King James Version Bible Page 368
shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
{17:3} The fining pot [is] for silver, and the furnace for
gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. {17:4} A wicked doer
giveth heed to false lips; [and] a liar giveth ear to a naughty
tongue. {17:5} Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his
Maker: [and] he that is glad at calamities shall not be
unpunished. {17:6} Children’s children [are] the crown of
old men; and the glory of children [are] their fathers. {17:7}
Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying
lips a prince. {17:8} A gift [is as] a precious stone in the
eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it
prospereth. {17:9} He that covereth a transgression seeketh
love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth [very] friends.
{17:10} A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an
hundred stripes into a fool. {17:11} An evil [man] seeketh
only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent
against him. {17:12} Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet
a man, rather than a fool in his folly. {17:13} Whoso
rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his
house. {17:14} The beginning of strife [is as] when one
letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be
meddled with. {17:15} He that justifieth the wicked, and he
that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination
to the LORD. {17:16} Wherefore [is there] a price in the
hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing [he hath] no heart [to
it? ]{17:17} A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is
born for adversity. {17:18} A man void of understanding
striketh hands, [and] becometh surety in the presence of his
friend. {17:19} He loveth transgression that loveth strife:
[and] he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. {17:20}
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that
hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. {17:21} He
that begetteth a fool [doeth it] to his sorrow: and the father
of a fool hath no joy. {17:22} A merry heart doeth good
[like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
{17:23} A wicked [man] taketh a gift out of the bosom to
pervert the ways of judgment. {17:24} Wisdom [is] before
him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool [are] in
the ends of the earth. {17:25} A foolish son [is] a grief to
his father, and bitterness to her that bare him. {17:26} Also
to punish the just [is] not good, [nor] to strike princes for
equity. {17:27} He that hath knowledge spareth his words:
[and] a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
{17:28} Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted
wise: [and] he that shutteth his lips [is esteemed] a man of
spirit who can bear? {18:15} The heart of the prudent
getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh
knowledge. {18:16} A man’s gift maketh room for him, and
bringeth him before great men. {18:17} [He that is] first in
his own cause [seemeth] just; but his neighbour cometh and
searcheth him. {18:18} The lot causeth contentions to
cease, and parteth between the mighty. {18:19} A brother
offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [their]
contentions [are] like the bars of a castle. {18:20} A man’s
belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; [and]
with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. {18:21}
Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they
that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. {18:22} [Whoso]
findeth a wife findeth a good [thing,] and obtaineth favour
of the LORD. {18:23} The poor useth intreaties; but the
rich answereth roughly. {18:24} A man [that hath] friends
must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend [that]
sticketh closer than a brother.{19:1} Better [is] the poor that walket
understanding.{18:1} Through desire a man, having separated himself,seeketh [and] intermeddleth with all wisdom. {18:2} A fool

the wicked devoureth iniquity. {19:29} Judgments are {21:10} The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour
prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.{20:1} Wine findeth [is] no a mocker, favour in strong his eyes. drink {21:11} [is] raging: When andwhosoever the scorner is is deceive
punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is
instructed, he receiveth knowledge. {21:12} The righteous
[man] wisely considereth the house of the wicked: [but
God] overthroweth the wicked for [their] wickedness.
{21:13} Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he
also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. {21:14} A gift
in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong
wrath. {21:15} [It is] joy to the just to do judgment: but
destruction [shall be] to the workers of iniquity. {21:16}
The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding
shall remain in the congregation of the dead. {21:17} He
that loveth pleasure [shall be] a poor man: he that loveth
wine and oil shall not be rich. {21:18} The wicked [shall
be] a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the
upright. {21:19} [It is] better to dwell in the wilderness,
than with a contentious and an angry woman. {21:20}
[There is] treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of
the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. {21:21} He that
followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life,
righteousness, and honour. {21:22} A wise [man] scaleth
the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the
confidence thereof. {21:23} Whoso keepeth his mouth and
his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. {21:24} Proud
[and] haughty scorner [is] his name, who dealeth in proud
wrath. {21:25} The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his
hands refuse to labour. {21:26} He coveteth greedily all the
day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not. {21:27}
The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination: how much
more, [when] he bringeth it with a wicked mind? {21:28} A
false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh
constantly. {21:29} A wicked man hardeneth his face: but
[as for] the upright, he directeth his way. {21:30} [There is]
no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the
LORD. {21:31} The horse [is] prepared against the day of
battle: but safety [is] of the LORD.{22:1} A [good] name [is] rather
away evil: so [do] stripes the inward parts of the belly.{21:1} The king’s heart [is] in the hand of the LORD, [as]the rivers of water:

may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day,
even to thee. {22:20} Have not I written to thee excellent
things in counsels and knowledge, {22:21} That I might
make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that
thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send
unto thee? {22:22} Rob not the poor, because he [is] poor:
neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: {22:23} For the
LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that
spoiled them. {22:24} Make no friendship with an angry
man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: {22:25} Lest
thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul. {22:26} Be
not thou [one] of them that strike hands, [or] of them that
are sureties for debts. {22:27} If thou hast nothing to pay,
why should he take away thy bed from under thee? {22:28}
Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have
set. {22:29} Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he
shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean
heart shall utter perverse things. {23:34} Yea, thou shalt be
as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that
lieth upon the top of a mast. {23:35} They have stricken
me, [shalt thou say, and] I was not sick; they have beaten
me, [and] I felt [it] not: when shall I awake? I will seek it
yet again.{24:1} Be not thou envious against evil men, neitherd
[men.]{23:1} When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, considerdiligently what [is] before thee: {23:2} And put a knife tothy throa
that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.{25:1} These [are] also

Proverbs King James Version Bible Page 371
glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is]
to search out a matter. {25:3} The heaven for height, and
the earth for depth, and the heart of kings [is] unsearchable.
{25:4} Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall
come forth a vessel for the finer. {25:5} Take away the
wicked [from] before the king, and his throne shall be
established in righteousness. {25:6} Put not forth thyself in
the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great
[men: ]{25:7} For better [it is] that it be said unto thee,
Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the
presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. {25:8}
Go not forth hastily to strive, lest [thou know not] what to
do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to
shame. {25:9} Debate thy cause with thy neighbour
[himself;] and discover not a secret to another: {25:10} Lest
he that heareth [it] put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn
not away. {25:11} A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of
gold in pictures of silver. {25:12} [As] an earring of gold,
and an ornament of fine gold, [so is] a wise reprover upon
an obedient ear. {25:13} As the cold of snow in the time of
harvest, [so is] a faithful messenger to them that send him:
for he refresheth the soul of his masters. {25:14} Whoso
boasteth himself of a false gift [is like] clouds and wind
without rain. {25:15} By long forbearing is a prince
persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. {25:16}
Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee,
lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. {25:17}
Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be
weary of thee, and [so] hate thee. {25:18} A man that
beareth false witness against his neighbour [is] a maul, and
a sword, and a sharp arrow. {25:19} Confidence in an
unfaithful man in time of trouble [is like] a broken tooth,
and a foot out of joint. {25:20} [As] he that taketh away a
garment in cold weather, [and as] vinegar upon nitre, so [is]
he that singeth songs to an heavy heart. {25:21} If thine
enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty,
give him water to drink: {25:22} For thou shalt heap coals
of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
{25:23} The north wind driveth away rain: so [doth] an
angry countenance a backbiting tongue. {25:24} [It is]
better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a
brawling woman and in a wide house. {25:25} [As] cold
waters to a thirsty soul, so [is] good news from a far
country. {25:26} A righteous man falling down before the
wicked [is as] a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
{25:27} [It is ]not good to eat much honey: so [for men ]to
search their own glory [is not ]glory. {25:28} He that [hath]
no rule over his own spirit [is like] a city [that is] broken
the way; a lion [is] in the streets. {26:14} [As] the door
turneth upon his hinges, so [doth] the slothful upon his bed.
{26:15} The slothful hideth his hand in [his] bosom; it
grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. {26:16} The
sluggard [is] wiser in his own conceit than seven men that
can render a reason. {26:17} He that passeth by, [and]
meddleth with strife [belonging] not to him, [is like] one
that taketh a dog by the ears. {26:18} As a mad [man] who
casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, {26:19} So [is] the
man [that] deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in
sport? {26:20} Where no wood is, [there] the fire goeth out:
so where [there is] no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. {26:21}
[As] coals [are] to burning coals, and wood to fire; so [is] a
contentious man to kindle strife. {26:22} The words of a
talebearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the
innermost parts of the belly. {26:23} Burning lips and a
wicked heart [are like] a potsherd covered with silver dross.
{26:24} He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth
up deceit within him; {26:25} When he speaketh fair,
believe him not: for [there are] seven abominations in his
heart. {26:26} [Whose] hatred is covered by deceit, his
wickedness shall be shewed before the [whole]
congregation. {26:27} Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall
therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
{26:28} A lying tongue hateth [those that are] afflicted by
it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.{27:1} Boast not thyself of to
down, [and] without walls.{26:1} As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, sohonour is not seemly for a fool. {26:2} As

{29:9} [If] a wise man contendeth with a foolish man,
whether he rage or laugh, [there is] no rest. {29:10} The
bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
{29:11} A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise [man]
keepeth it in till afterwards. {29:12} If a ruler hearken to
lies, all his servants [are] wicked. {29:13} The poor and the
deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both
their eyes. {29:14} The king that faithfully judgeth the poor,
his throne shall be established for ever. {29:15} The rod and
reproof give wisdom: but a child left [to himself] bringeth
his mother to shame. {29:16} When the wicked are
multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall
see their fall. {29:17} Correct thy son, and he shall give
thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. {29:18}
Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that
keepeth the law, happy [is] he. {29:19} A servant will not
be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not
answer. {29:20} Seest thou a man [that is] hasty in his
words? [there is] more hope of a fool than of him. {29:21}
He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall
have him become [his] son at the length. {29:22} An angry
man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in
transgression. {29:23} A man’s pride shall bring him low:
but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. {29:24}
Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he
heareth cursing, and bewrayeth [it] not. {29:25} The fear of
man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the
LORD shall be safe. {29:26} Many seek the ruler’s favour;
but [every] man’s judgment [cometh] from the LORD.
{29:27} An unjust man [is] an abomination to the just: and
[he that is] upright in the way [is] abomination to the

with water; and the fire [that] saith not, [It is] enough.
{30:17} The eye [that] mocketh at [his] father, and
despiseth to obey [his] mother, the ravens of the valley shall
pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. {30:18} There
be three [things which] are too wonderful for me, yea, four
which I know not: {30:19} The way of an eagle in the air;
the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the
midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. {30:20}
Such [is] the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and
wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
{30:21} For three [things] the earth is disquieted, and for
four [which] it cannot bear: {30:22} For a servant when he
reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat; {30:23}
For an odious [woman] when she is married; and an
handmaid that is heir to her mistress. {30:24} There be four
[things which are] little upon the earth, but they [are]
exceeding wise: {30:25} The ants [are] a people not strong,
yet they prepare their meat in the summer; {30:26} The
conies [are but] a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in
the rocks; {30:27} The locusts have no king, yet go they
forth all of them by bands; {30:28} The spider taketh hold
with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces. {30:29} There be
three [things] which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
{30:30} A lion [which is] strongest among beasts, and
turneth not away for any; {30:31} A greyhound; an he goat
also; and a king, against whom [there is] no rising up.
{30:32} If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if
thou hast thought evil, [lay] thine hand upon thy mouth.
{30:33} Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter,
and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the
maketh fine linen, and selleth [it;] and delivereth girdles
unto the merchant. {31:25} Strength and honour [are] her
clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. {31:26} She
openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue [is] the
law of kindness. {31:27} She looketh well to the ways of
her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. {31:28}
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband
[also,] and he praiseth her. {31:29} Many daughters have
done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. {31:30} Favour
[is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain: [but] a woman [that]
feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. {31:31} Give her of
the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the

light excelleth darkness. {2:14} The wise man’s eyes [are]

Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it
happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then
I said in my heart, that this also [is] vanity. {2:16} For
[there is] no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool
for ever; seeing that which now [is] in the days to come

Hamath and Arphad? where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim?
and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? {36:20}
Who [are they] among all the gods of these lands, that have
delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should
deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? {36:21} But they held
their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s
commandment was, saying, Answer him not.{36:22} Then came El

{37:16} O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest
[between] the cherubims, thou [art] the God, [even] thou
alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made
heaven and earth. {37:17} Incline thine ear, O LORD, and
hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the
words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the
living God. {37:18} Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria
have laid waste all the nations, and their countries, {37:19}
And have cast their gods into the fire: for they [were] no
gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone:
therefore they have destroyed them. {37:20} Now therefore,
O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the
kingdoms of the earth may know that thou [art] the LORD,
Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons
smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of
Armenia: and Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.{38:1} In those
Hezekiah wept sore.{38:4} Then came the word of the LORD t

they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall
perish. {41:12} Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find
them, [even] them that contended with thee: they that war
against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
{41:13} For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand,
saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. {41:14} Fear
not, thou worm Jacob, [and] ye men of Israel; I will help
thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of
Israel. {41:15} Behold, I will make thee a new sharp
threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the
mountains, and beat [them] small, and shalt make the hills
as chaff. {41:16} Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall
carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and
thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, [and] shalt glory in the Holy
One of Israel. {41:17} [When] the poor and needy seek
water, and [there is] none, [and] their tongue faileth for
thirst, I the LORD will hear them, [I[ the God of Israel will
not forsake them. {41:18} I will open rivers in high places,
and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the
wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of
water. {41:19} I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the
shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the
desert the fir tree, [and] the pine, and the box tree together:
{41:20} That they may see, and know, and consider, and
understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done
this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. {41:21}
Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your
strong [reasons,] saith the King of Jacob. {41:22} Let them
bring [them] forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them
shew the former things, what they [be,] that we may
consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare
us things for to come. {41:23} Shew the things that are to
come hereafter, that we may know that ye [are] gods: yea,
do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold
[it] together. {41:24} Behold, ye [are] of nothing, and your
work of nought: an abomination [is he that] chooseth you.
{41:25} I have raised up [one] from the north, and he shall
come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my
name: and he shall come upon princes as [upon] morter, and
as the potter treadeth clay. {41:26} Who hath declared from
the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we
may say, [He is] righteous? yea, [there is] none that
sheweth, yea, [there is] none that declareth, yea, [there is]
none that heareth your words. {41:27} The first [shall say]
to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem
one that bringeth good tidings. {41:28} For I beheld, and
[there was] no man; even among them, and [there was] no
counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a
word. {41:29} Behold, they [are] all vanity; their works
prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison
house. {42:8} I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my
glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven
images. {42:9} Behold, the former things are come to pass,
and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell
you of them. {42:10} Sing unto the LORD a new song,
[and] his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down
to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the
inhabitants thereof. {42:11} Let the wilderness and the
cities thereof lift up [their voice,] the villages [that] Kedar
doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them
shout from the top of the mountains. {42:12} Let them give
glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
{42:13} The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall
stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he
shall prevail against his enemies. {42:14} I have long time
holden my peace; I have been still, [and] refrained myself:
[now] will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and
devour at once. {42:15} I will make waste mountains and
hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers
islands, and I will dry up the pools. {42:16} And I will
bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I will lead
them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make
darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.
These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.{42:17} They

{43:8} Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and
the deaf that have ears. {43:9} Let all the nations be
gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who
among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let
them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified:
or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth. {43:10} Ye [are] my
witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have
chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand
that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither
shall there be after me. {43:11} I, [even] I, [am] the LORD;
and beside me [there is] no saviour. {43:12} I have
declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when [there
was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] my
witnesses, saith the LORD, that I [am] God. {43:13} Yea,
before the day [was] I [am] he; and [there is] none that can
the last; and beside me [there is] no God. {44:7} And who,
as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me,
since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are
coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. {44:8}
Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that
time, and have declared [it?] ye [are] even my witnesses. Is
there a God beside me? yea, [there is] no God; I know not
[any.]{44:9} They that make a graven image [are] all of themvanity

of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That

{27:15} For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they
prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and
that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto

people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the
words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying,
Behold, the vessels of the LORD’S house shall now shortly

{29:15} Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us
up prophets in Babylon; {29:16} [Know] that thus saith the
LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and
of all the people that dwelleth in this city, [and] of your
brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
{29:17} Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send
upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and
will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are
so evil. {29:18} And I will persecute them with the sword,
with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver
them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a
curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach,
among all the nations whither I have driven them: {29:19}
Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the
LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets,
rising up early and sending [them;] but ye would not hear,
saith the LORD.{29:20} Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all yeof the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem

{30:4} And these [are] the words that the LORD spake
concerning Israel and concerning Judah. {30:5} For thus
saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of
fear, and not of peace. {30:6} Ask ye now, and see whether
a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man
with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all
faces are turned into paleness? {30:7} Alas! for that day [is]
great, so that none [is] like it: it [is] even the time of Jacob’s
trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. {30:8} For it shall
come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, [that] I
will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy
bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

their king, whom I will raise up unto them.{30:10} Therefore fear th

Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. {31:3} The LORD
hath appeared of old unto me, [saying,] Yea, I have loved
thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness
have I drawn thee. {31:4} Again I will build thee, and thou
shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned
with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them
that make merry. {31:5} Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the
mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat
[them] as common things. {31:6} For there shall be a day,
[that] the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry,
Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.
{31:7} For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for
Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye,
praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant
of Israel. {31:8} Behold, I will bring them from the north
country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, [and]
with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and
her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall
return thither. {31:9} They shall come with weeping, and
with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to
walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they
shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim
earth, A woman shall compass a man. {31:23} Thus saith
the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use
this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof,
when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless
thee, O habitation of justice, [and] mountain of holiness.
{31:24} And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the
cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they [that] go forth
with flocks. {31:25} For I have satiated the weary soul, and
I have replenished every sorrowful soul. {31:26} Upon this

shall take it; {32:4} And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not
escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be
delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall
speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold
his eyes; {32:5} And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon,

O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take

Chaldeans.{32:26} Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah,
though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?{32:6} And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD cameunto me, saying,

maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the
LORD [is] his name; {33:3} Call unto me, and I will
answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which
thou knowest not. {33:4} For thus saith the LORD, the God
of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning
the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by
the mounts, and by the sword; {33:5} They come to fight
with the Chaldeans, but [it is] fill them with the dead bodies
of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury,
and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this
city. {33:6} Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I
will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of
peace and truth. {33:7} And I will cause the captivity of
Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build
them, as at the first. {33:8} And I will cleanse them from all
their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I
will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned,
the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of
David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
{33:23} Moreover the word of the LORD came to
Jeremiah, saying, {33:24} Considerest thou not what this
people have spoken, saying, The two families which the
LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they
have despised my people, that they should be no more a
nation before them. {33:25} Thus saith the LORD; If my
covenant be not with day and night, [and if] I have not
appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; {33:26} Then
will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so
that I will not take [any] of his seed [to be] rulers over the
seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their
captivity to return, and have mercy on them.{34:1} The word which
and whereby they have transgressed against me.{33:9} And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise andan honour before all the n

and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant,
and every man his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at
their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection,
to be unto you for servants and for handmaids. {34:17}
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto
me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and
every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for
you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to
the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the
kingdoms of the earth. {34:18} And I will give the men that
have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed
the words of the covenant which they had made before me,
when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the
parts thereof, {34:19} The princes of Judah, and the princes
of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people
of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
{34:20} I will even give them into the hand of their
enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and
their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the
heaven, and to the beasts of the earth. {34:21} And
Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the
hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek
their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army,
which are gone up from you. {34:22} Behold, I will
command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this
city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it
with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation

obey their father’s commandment: notwithstanding I have
spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye
hearkened not unto me. {35:15} I have sent also unto you
all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending
[them,] saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way,
and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve
them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to
you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear,
nor hearkened unto me. {35:16} Because the sons of
Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the
commandment of their father, which he commanded them;
but this people hath not hearkened unto me: {35:17}
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of
Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the
inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced
against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they
have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have
not answered.{35:18} And Jeremiah said unto the house of t

all the princes. {36:13} Then Michaiah declared unto them
all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book
in the ears of the people. {36:14} Therefore all the princes
sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the
son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the
roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and
come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand,
and came unto them. {36:15} And they said unto him, Sit
down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read [it] in
their ears. {36:16} Now it came to pass, when they had
heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other,
and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all
these words. {36:17} And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell they departed from Jerusalem.{37:6} Then came the word of the

{36:18} Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all

Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man
know where ye be.{36:20} And they went in to the king into the court, butthey laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scr

{38:1} Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah
the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and
Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah
had spoken unto all the people, saying, {38:2} Thus saith
the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the
sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that
goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his
life for a prey, and shall live. {38:3} Thus saith the LORD,
This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of
Babylon’s army, which shall take it. {38:4} Therefore the
princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be
put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of
war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people,
in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not
the welfare of this people, but the hurt. {38:5} Then
Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the
king [is] not [he that] can do [any] thing against you. {38:6}
Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of
Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that [was] in the court of
the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in
the dungeon [there was] no water, but mire: so Jeremiah
shall live. {38:21} But if thou refuse to go forth, this [is] the
word that the LORD hath shewed me: {38:22} And, behold,
all the women that are left in the king of Judah’s house
[shall be] brought forth to the king of Babylon’s princes,
and those [women] shall say, Thy friends have set thee on,
and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the
mire, [and] they are turned away back. {38:23} So they
shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the
Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but
shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou
shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.{38:24} Then said Zedekia

Ahikam the son of Shaphan; {40:12} Even all the Jews

about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of

from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
{41:16} Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the
captains of the forces that [were] with him, all the remnant
of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son
of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after [that] he had slain
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, [even] mighty men of war, and
the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had
brought again from Gibeon: {41:17} And they departed,
and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by
Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt, {41:18} Because of

{42:18} For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth
upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be
poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and
ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse,
and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.{42:19} The LOR

{44:1} The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the
Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at
Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country
of Pathros, saying, {44:2} Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have
brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah;
and, behold, this day they [are] a desolation, and no man
dwelleth therein, {44:3} Because of their wickedness which
they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they
went to burn incense, [and] to serve other gods, whom they
knew not, [neither] they, ye, nor your fathers. {44:4}
Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising
early and sending [them,] saying, Oh, do not this
abominable thing that I hate. {44:5} But they hearkened
not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to
burn no incense unto other gods. {44:6} Wherefore my fury
and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the
cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are
wasted [and] desolate, as at this day. {44:7} Therefore now
thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel;
Wherefore commit ye [this] great evil against your souls, to
cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of
Judah, to leave you none to remain; {44:8} In that ye
provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands,
burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt,
whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves
off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all
the nations of the earth? {44:9} Have ye forgotten the
wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings
of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own
wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they
have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of
Jerusalem? {44:10} They are not humbled [even] unto this
day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in
the sword and by the famine. {44:19} And when we burned
incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink
offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her,
and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?{44:20} Then
my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.{44:11} Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the Godof Israel; Behold, I
shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.{44:29} And this
his enemy, and that sought his life.{45:1} The word that Jeremiah t

{46:1} The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah
the prophet against the Gentiles; {46:2} Against Egypt,
against the army of Pharaoh-necho king of Egypt, which
was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah. {46:3} Order ye
the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle. {46:4}
Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand
forth with [your] helmets; furbish the spears, [and] put on
the brigandines. {46:5} Wherefore have I seen them
dismayed [and] turned away back? and their mighty ones
are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back:
[for] fear [was] round about, saith the LORD. {46:6} Let
not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they
shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river
Euphrates. {46:7} Who [is] this [that] cometh up as a flood,
whose waters are moved as the rivers? {46:8} Egypt riseth
up like a flood, and [his] waters are moved like the rivers;
and he saith, I will go up, [and] will cover the earth; I will
destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof. {46:9} Come
up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men
come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the
shield; and the Lydians, that handle [and] bend the bow.
{46:10} For this [is] the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a
day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his
adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be
satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD
of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river
Euphrates. {46:11} Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O
virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many
medicines; [for] thou shalt not be cured. {46:12} The
nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the
land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty,

Moab, saith the LORD. {48:44} He that fleeth from the fear
shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit
shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, [even]
upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall
devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the
tumultuous ones. {48:46} Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the
people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken
captives, and thy daughters captives. {48:47} Yet will I

Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall
be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
{49:18} As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and
the neighbour [cities] thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall
abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it. {49:19}

and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the
inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall

desolate with them. {49:21} The earth is moved at the noise
of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the
Red sea. {49:22} Behold, he shall come up and fly as the

confounded by the graven image: for his molten image [is]
falsehood, and [there is] no breath in them. {51:18} They
[are] vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their
visitation they shall perish. {51:19} The portion of Jacob
[is] not like them; for he [is] the former of all things: and
[Israel is] the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is
his name. {51:20} Thou [art] my battle axe [and] weapons
of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and
with thee will I destroy kingdoms; {51:21} And with thee
will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee
will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; {51:22} With
thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with
thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will
I break in pieces the young man and the maid; {51:23} I
will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his
flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman
and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces
captains and rulers. {51:24} And I will render unto Babylon
and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they
have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD. {51:25}
Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying mountain, saith
the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch
out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks,
and will make thee a burnt mountain. {51:26} And they
shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for
foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the
LORD. {51:27} Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the
trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her,
call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and
Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses
to come up as the rough caterpillers. {51:28} Prepare
against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the
captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land
of his dominion. {51:29} And the land shall tremble and
sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed
against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation
without an inhabitant. {51:30} The mighty men of Babylon
have forborn to fight, they have remained in [their] holds:
their might hath failed; they became as women: they have
burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken. {51:31}
One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to
meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is
taken at [one] end, {51:32} And that the passages are
stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the
men of war are affrighted. {51:33} For thus saith the LORD
of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon [is]
like a threshingfloor, [it is] time to thresh her: yet a little
while, and the time of her harvest shall come. {51:34}
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he
hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath
swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with
my delicates, he hath cast me out. {51:35} The violence
done to me and to my flesh [be] upon Babylon, shall the
inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants
of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say. {51:36} Therefore thus
saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take
vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her
springs dry. {51:37} And Babylon shall become heaps, a
dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing,
without an inhabitant. {51:38} They shall roar together like
lions: they shall yell as lions’ whelps. {51:39} In their heat I
will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that
they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake,
saith the LORD. {51:40} I will bring them down like lambs
to the slaughter, like rams with he goats. {51:41} How is
Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth
surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among
the nations! {51:42} The sea is come up upon Babylon: she
is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. {51:43}
Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a
land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth [any] son of
man pass thereby. {51:44} And I will punish Bel in
Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which
he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow
together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall
fall. {51:45} My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and
deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the
LORD. {51:46} And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for
the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall
both come [one] year, and after that in [another] year [shall
come] a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against
ruler. {51:47} Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will
do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her
whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall
in the midst of her. {51:48} Then the heaven and the earth,
and all that [is] therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the
spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the
LORD. {51:49} As Babylon [hath caused] the slain of
Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the
earth. {51:50} Ye that have escaped the sword, go away,
stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let
Jerusalem come into your mind. {51:51} We are
confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath
covered our faces: for strangers are come into the
sanctuaries of the LORD’S house. {51:52} Wherefore,
behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do
judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land
the wounded shall groan. {51:53} Though Babylon should
mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the
height of her strength, [yet] from me shall spoilers come
unto her, saith the LORD. {51:54} A sound of a cry
[cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land
of the Chaldeans: {51:55} Because the LORD hath spoiled
Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her
waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is
uttered: {51:56} Because the spoiler is come upon her,
[even] upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every
one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of
recompences shall surely requite. {51:57} And I will make
drunk her princes, and her wise [men,] her captains, and her
rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual
sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name [is] the
LORD of hosts. {51:58} Thus saith 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 labour
in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.{51:59} The
they shall be weary. Thus far [are] the words of Jeremiah.{52:1} Zede

Israel [are] impudent and hardhearted. {3:8} Behold, I have
made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead
strong against their foreheads. {3:9} As an adamant harder
than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither
be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious
house. {3:10} Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all
my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart,
and hear with thine ears. {3:11} And go, get thee to them of
the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak
unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether
they will hear, or whether they will forbear. {3:12} Then
the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a
great rushing, [saying,] Blessed [be] the glory of the LORD
from his place. {3:13} [I heard] also the noise of the wings
of the living creatures that touched one another, and the
noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great
rushing. {3:14} So the spirit lifted me up, and took me
away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but
between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it
shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This
[shall be] a sign to the house of Israel. {4:4} Lie thou also
upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel
upon it: [according] to the number of the days that thou
shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity. {4:5} For I
have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to
the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so
shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. {4:6} And
when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right
side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah
forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. {4:7}
Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of
Jerusalem, and thine arm [shall be] uncovered, and thou
shalt prophesy against it. {4:8} And, behold, I will lay
bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side

looked upon thee, behold, thy time [was] the time of love;
and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness:
yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with
thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. {16:9}
Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed
away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
{16:10} I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod
thee with badgers’ skin, and I girded thee about with fine
linen, and I covered thee with silk. {16:11} I decked thee
also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and
a chain on thy neck. {16:12} And I put a jewel on thy
forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown
upon thine head. {16:13} Thus wast thou decked with gold
and silver; and thy raiment [was of] fine linen, and silk, and
broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil:
and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper
into a kingdom. {16:14} And thy renown went forth among
the heathen for thy beauty: for it [was] perfect through my
comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
{16:15} But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and
playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out
thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
{16:16} And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst
thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot
thereupon: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it
be so. {16:17} Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my
gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to
thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with
them, {16:18} And tookest thy broidered garments, and
coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense
before them. {16:19} My meat also which I gave thee, fine
flour, and oil, and honey, [wherewith] I fed thee, thou hast
even set it before them for a sweet savour: and [thus] it was,
saith the Lord GOD. {16:20} Moreover thou hast taken thy
sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and
these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. [Is this]
of thy whoredoms a small matter, {16:21} That thou hast
slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass
through [the fire] for them? {16:22} And in all thine
abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered
the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, [and]
wast polluted in thy blood. {16:23} And it came to pass
after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord
GOD;) {16:24} [That] thou hast also built unto thee an
eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every
street. {16:25} Thou hast built thy high place at every head
of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and
hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and
multiplied thy whoredoms. {16:26} Thou hast also
committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours,
great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to
provoke me to anger. {16:27} Behold, therefore I have
stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine
ordinary [food,] and delivered thee unto the will of them
that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are
ashamed of thy lewd way. {16:28} Thou hast played the
whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast
unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and
yet couldest not be satisfied. {16:29} Thou hast moreover
multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto
Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. {16:30}
How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou
doest all these [things,] the work of an imperious whorish
woman; {16:31} In that thou buildest thine eminent place in
the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every
street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest
hire; {16:32} [But as] a wife that committeth adultery,
[which] taketh strangers instead of her husband! {16:33}
They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all
thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on
every side for thy whoredom. {16:34} And the contrary is
in thee from [other] women in thy whoredoms, whereas
none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou
givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore
thou art contrary.{16:35} Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the L

wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto
them their abominations; {23:37} That they have committed
adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols
have they committed adultery, and have also caused their
sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through
[the fire,] to devour [them. ]{23:38} Moreover this they
have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the
same day, and have profaned my sabbaths. {23:39} For
when they had slain their children to their idols, then they
came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo,
thus have they done in the midst of mine house. {23:40}
And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from
far, unto whom a messenger [was] sent; and, lo, they came:
for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and
deckedst thyself with ornaments, {23:41} And satest upon a
stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou
hast set mine incense and mine oil. {23:42} And a voice of
a multitude being at ease [was] with her: and with the men
of the common sort [were] brought Sabeans from the
wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and
beautiful crowns upon their heads. {23:43} Then said I unto
[her that was] old in adulteries, Will they now commit
whoredoms with her, and she [with them? ]{23:44} Yet
they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that
playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto
burn, and [that] the filthiness of it may be molten in it, [that]
the scum of it may be consumed. {24:12} She hath wearied
[herself] with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of
her: her scum [shall be] in the fire. {24:13} In thy filthiness
[is] lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not
purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any
more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee. {24:14} I
the LORD have spoken [it:] it shall come to pass, and I will
do [it;] I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I
repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings,
shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.{24:15} Also the word o
commanded.{24:19} And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell u
Aholibah, the lewd women.{23:45} And the righteous men, they shall judge themafter the manner of adulteresses, and after th
GOD.{24:1} Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in thetenth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came untome, sayi

{26:13} And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease;
and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard. {26:14}
And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be [a
place] to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I

Dedan [were] thy merchants; many isles [were] the
merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee [for] a present
horns of ivory and ebony. {27:16} Syria [was] thy merchant
by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they
occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered
work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate. {27:17} Judah,
and the land of Israel, they [were] thy merchants: they
traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and
honey, and oil, and balm. {27:18} Damascus [was] thy
merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for
the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white
wool. {27:19} Dan also and Javan going to and fro
occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were
in thy market. {27:20} Dedan [was] thy merchant in
precious clothes for chariots. {27:21} Arabia, and all the
princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and
rams, and goats: in these [were they] thy merchants.
{27:22} The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they [were]
thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all
spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. {27:23}
Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba,
Asshur, [and] Chilmad, [were] thy merchants. {27:24}
These [were] thy merchants in all sorts [of things,] in blue
clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel,
bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy
merchandise. {27:25} The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee
in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very
glorious in the midst of the seas. {27:26} Thy rowers have
brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken
thee in the midst of the seas. {27:27} Thy riches, and thy
fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy
calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy
men of war, that [are] in thee, and in all thy company which
[is] in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas
in the day of thy ruin. {27:28} The suburbs shall shake at
the sound of the cry of thy pilots. {27:29} And all that
handle the oar, the mariners, [and] all the pilots of the sea,
shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the
land; {27:30} And shall cause their voice to be heard
against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust
upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:
{27:31} And they shall make themselves utterly bald for
thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for
thee with bitterness of heart [and] bitter wailing. {27:32}
And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for
thee, and lament over thee, [saying,] What [city is] like
Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea? {27:33}
When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst
many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with
the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise. {27:34}
In the time [when] thou shalt be broken by the seas in the
depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company
in the midst of thee shall fall. {27:35} All the inhabitants of
the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be
sore afraid, they shall be troubled in [their] countenance.
{27:36} The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee;
riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
{28:6} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou
hast set thine heart as the heart of God; {28:7} Behold,
therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the
nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty
of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. {28:8}
They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the
deaths of [them that are] slain in the midst of the seas.
{28:9} Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [am]
God? but thou [shalt be] a man, and no God, in the hand of
him that slayeth thee. {28:10} Thou shalt die the deaths of
the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have
spoken [it,] saith the Lord GOD. {28:11} Moreover the
word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {28:12} Son of
man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say
unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the
sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. {28:13} Thou
hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone
[was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the
beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald,
and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets
and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou
wast created. {28:14} Thou [art] the anointed cherub that
covereth; and I have set thee [so:] thou wast upon the holy
mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the
midst of the stones of fire. {28:15} Thou [wast] perfect in
thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity
was found in thee. {28:16} By the multitude of thy
merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with
violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as
profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee,
O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
{28:17} Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty,
thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness:
I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings,
that they may behold thee. {28:18} Thou hast defiled thy
sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the
iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire
from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring
thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that
behold thee. {28:19} All they that know thee among the
people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and
never [shalt] thou [be] any more.{28:20} Again the word of the LO
thou [shalt be] a terror, and never shalt be any more.{28:1} The word of the LORD came again unto me,saying, {28:2} Son of
shall know that I [am] the LORD their God.{29:1} In the tenth year

twelfth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came
unto me, saying, {29:2} Son of man, set thy face against
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and
against all Egypt: {29:3} Speak, and say, Thus saith the
Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of
Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers,
which hath said, My river [is] mine own, and I have made
[it] for myself. {29:4} But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and
I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales,
and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and
all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. {29:5}
And I will leave thee [thrown] into the wilderness, thee and
all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields;
thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have
given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the
fowls of the heaven. {29:6} And all the inhabitants of Egypt
shall know that I [am] the LORD, because they have been a
staff of reed to the house of Israel. {29:7} When they took
hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their
shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and
mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I [am]
the LORD.{30:1} The word of the LORD came again unto me,
madest all their loins to be at a stand.{29:8} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I willbring a sword upon thee, and cut off
through the countries.{29:13} Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of fortyyears will I gather the Egyptians from the people w

sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall
stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. {30:26} And I will
scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them
among the countries; and they shall know that I [am] the
brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of
the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised
with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh
and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.{32:1} And it came to pa

her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which
caused terror in the land of the living. {32:24} There [is]
Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of
them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down
uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which
caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they
borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
{32:25} They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain
with all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all
of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their
terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they
borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is
put in the midst of [them that be] slain. {32:26} There [is]
Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves [are]
round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the
sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the
living. {32:27} And they shall not lie with the mighty [that
are] fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to
hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their
swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon
their bones, though [they were] the terror of the mighty in
the land of the living. {32:28} Yea, thou shalt be broken in
the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with [them that
are] slain with the sword. {32:29} There [is] Edom, her
kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by
[them that were] slain by the sword: they shall lie with the
uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
{32:30} There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and
all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with
their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie
uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword, and
bear their shame with them that go down to the pit. {32:31}
Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his
multitude, [even] Pharaoh and all his army slain by the
sword, saith the Lord GOD. {32:32} For I have caused my
terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the
midst of the uncircumcised with [them that are] slain with
the sword, [even] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the
should we then live? {33:11} Say unto them, [As] I live,
saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the
wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn
ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O
house of Israel? {33:12} Therefore, thou son of man, say
unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the
righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his
transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall
not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his
wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his
[righteousness] in the day that he sinneth. {33:13} When I
shall say to the righteous, [that] he shall surely live; if he
trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his
righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his
iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. {33:14}
Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if
he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
{33:15} [If] the wicked restore the pledge, give again that
he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without
committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
{33:16} None of his sins that he hath committed shall be
mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and
right; he shall surely live.{33:17} Yet the children of thy people say
which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.{33:20} Yet ye say, Th
ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.{33:21} A
Lord GOD.{33:1} Again the word of the LORD came unto me,saying, {33:2} Son of man, speak to the children of thypeo

then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.{34:1} And And I will the word set up of one the shepherd LORD came over unto them, me, and saying,{34:2} he shall feed Son of
them, [even] my servant David; he shall feed them, and he
shall be their shepherd. {34:24} And I the LORD will be
their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the
LORD have spoken [it. ]{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. {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. {34:27} And the tree of
the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her
increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know
that I [am] the LORD, when I have broken the bands of
their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that
served themselves of them. {34:28} And they shall no more
be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land
devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall
make [them] afraid. {34:29} And I will raise up for them a
earth, and none did search or seek [after them.]{34:7} Therefore, plant ye of shepherds, renown, and hear they the shall word be of no theLORD; more consumed {34:8} with [As] I live,

of Israel, [are] my people, saith the Lord GOD. {34:31}
And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men, [and] I

but [there was ]no breath in them. {37:9} Then said he unto
me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say
to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four
winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may

side, and three on that side; they three [were] of one
measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on
that side. {40:11} And he measured the breadth of the entry
of the gate, ten cubits; [and] the length of the gate, thirteen
cubits. {40:12} The space also before the little chambers
[was] one cubit [on this side,] and the space [was] one cubit
on that side: and the little chambers [were] six cubits on this
side, and six cubits on that side. {40:13} He measured then
the gate from the roof of [one] little chamber to the roof of
another: the breadth [was] five and twenty cubits, door
against door. {40:14} He made also posts of threescore
cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.
{40:15} And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto
the face of the porch of the inner gate [were] fifty cubits.
{40:16} And [there were] narrow windows to the little
chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about,
and likewise to the arches: and windows [were] round about
inward: and upon [each] post [were] palm trees. {40:17}
Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, [there
were] chambers, and a pavement made for the court round
about: thirty chambers [were] upon the pavement. {40:18}
And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the
length of the gates [was] the lower pavement. {40:19} Then
he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate
unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred
arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty cubits long, and
five and twenty cubits broad. {40:34} And the arches
thereof [were] toward the outward court; and palm trees
[were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side:
and the going up to it [had] eight steps. {40:35} And he
brought me to the north gate, and measured [it] according to
these measures; {40:36} The little chambers thereof, the
posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it
round about: the length [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth
five and twenty cubits. {40:37} And the posts thereof
[were] toward the utter court; and palm trees [were] upon
the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the
going up to it [had] eight steps. {40:38} And the chambers
and the entries thereof [were] by the posts of the gates,
where they washed the burnt offering.{40:39} And in the porch of the
cubits eastward and northward.{40:20} And the gate of the outward court that lookedtoward the north, he measured the length
and upon the tables [was] the flesh of the offering.{40:44} And witho
east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.{40:24} After that he brought me toward the south, andbehold a gate tow

four cubits, round about the house on every side. {41:6}
And the side chambers [were] three, one over another, and
thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which [was] of
the house for the side chambers round about, that they
might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the
house. {41:7} And [there was] an enlarging, and a winding
about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding
about of the house went still upward round about the house:
therefore the breadth of the house [was still] upward, and so
increased [from] the lowest [chamber] to the highest by the
midst. {41:8} I saw also the height of the house round
about: the foundations of the side chambers [were] a full
reed of six great cubits. {41:9} The thickness of the wall,
which [was] for the side chamber without, [was] five cubits:
and [that] which [was] left [was] the place of the side
chambers that [were] within. {41:10} And between the
chambers [was] the wideness of twenty cubits round about
the house on every side. {41:11} And the doors of the side
chambers [were] toward [the place that was] left, one door
toward the north, and another door toward the south: and
the breadth of the place that was left [was] five cubits round
about. {41:12} Now the building that [was] before the
separate place at the end toward the west [was] seventy
cubits broad; and the wall of the building [was] five cubits
thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.
{41:13} So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long;
and the separate place, and the building, with the walls
thereof, an hundred cubits long; {41:14} Also the breadth of
the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the
east, an hundred cubits. {41:15} And he measured the
length of the building over against the separate place which
[was] behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and
on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple,
and the porches of the court; {41:16} The door posts, and
the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their
three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round
about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the
windows [were] covered; {41:17} To that above the door,
even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall
round about within and without, by measure. {41:18} And
[it was] made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm
tree [was] between a cherub and a cherub; and [every]
cherub had two faces; {41:19} So that the face of a man
[was] toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a
young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: [it was]
made through all the house round about. {41:20} From the
ground unto above the door [were] cherubims and palm
trees made, and [on] the wall of the temple. {41:21} The
posts of the temple [were] squared, [and] the face of the
sanctuary; the appearance [of the one] as the appearance [of
the other. ]{41:22} The altar of wood [was] three cubits
high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners
thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, [were]
of wood: and he said unto me, This [is] the table that [is]
before the LORD. {41:23} And the temple and the
sanctuary had two doors. {41:24} And the doors had two
leaves [apiece,] two turning leaves; two [leaves] for the one
door, and two leaves for the other [door. ]{41:25} And
[there were] made on them, on the doors of the temple,
cherubims and palm trees, like as [were] made upon the
walls; and [there were] thick planks upon the face of the
porch without. {41:26} And [there were] narrow windows
and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the
sides of the porch, and [upon] the side chambers of the
before the building toward the north. {42:2} Before the
length of an hundred cubits [was] the north door, and the
breadth [was] fifty cubits. {42:3} Over against the twenty
[cubits] which [were] for the inner court, and over against
the pavement which [was] for the utter court, [was] gallery
against gallery in three [stories. ]{42:4} And before the
chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way
of one cubit; and their doors toward the north. {42:5} Now
the upper chambers [were] shorter: for the galleries were
higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost
of the building. {42:6} For they [were] in three [stories,] but
had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the
building] was straitened more than the lowest and the
middlemost from the ground. {42:7} And the wall that
[was] without over against the chambers, toward the utter
court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof
[was] fifty cubits. {42:8} For the length of the chambers
that [were] in the utter court [was] fifty cubits: and, lo,
before the temple [were] an hundred cubits. {42:9} And
from under these chambers [was] the entry on the east side,
as one goeth into them from the utter court. {42:10} The
chambers [were] in the thickness of the wall of the court
toward the east, over against the separate place, and over
against the building. {42:11} And the way before them
[was] like the appearance of the chambers which [were]
toward the north, as long as they, [and] as broad as they:
and all their goings out [were] both according to their
fashions, and according to their doors. {42:12} And
according to the doors of the chambers that [were] toward
the south [was] a door in the head of the way, [even] the
way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth
into them.{42:13} Then said he unto me, The north chambers [and]th

prince shall enter by the way of the porch of [that] gate
without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the
priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace
offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate:
then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the
evening. {46:3} Likewise the people of the land shall
worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the
sabbaths and in the new moons. {46:4} And the burnt
offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the
sabbath day [shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram
without blemish. {46:5} And the meat offering [shall be] an
ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he
shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. {46:6}
And in the day of the new moon [it shall be] a young
bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they
shall be without blemish. {46:7} And he shall prepare a
meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a
ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain
unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah. {46:8} And when the
prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of
trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake
the meat offering; that they bear [them] not out into the utter
court, to sanctify the people. {46:21} Then he brought me
forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four
corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the
court [there was] a court. {46:22} In the four corners of the
court [there were] courts joined of forty [cubits] long and
thirty broad: these four corners [were] of one measure.
{46:23} And [there was] a row [of building] round about in
them, round about them four, and [it was] made with boiling
places under the rows round about. {46:24} Then said he
unto me, These [are] the places of them that boil, where the

for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood
before the king. {2:3} And the king said unto them, I have
dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the
dream. {2:4} Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in
Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream,
and we will shew the interpretation. {2:5} The king

interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your
houses shall be made a dunghill. {2:6} But if ye shew the
dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me
gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the
dream, and the interpretation thereof. {2:7} They answered
again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and
we will shew the interpretation of it. {2:8} The king
answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain
the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me. {2:9}
But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, [there is
but] one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and
corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed:
therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can

{2:24} Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the
king had ordained to destroy the wise [men] of Babylon: he
went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise [men] of
Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto
the king the interpretation. {2:25} Then Arioch brought in
Daniel before the king in haste and said thus unto him, I
have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make
known unto the king the interpretation. {2:26} The king
answered and said to Daniel, whose name [was]
Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the
dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
{2:27} Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and
said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the
wise [men,] the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers,
shew unto the king; {2:28} But there is a God in heaven
that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king
Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream,
and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; {2:29}
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came [into thy mind] upon
thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that
revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to
pass. {2:30} But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me
for [any] wisdom that I have more than any living, but for
[their] sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the
without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass,
the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made
known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and
the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.{2:46} Then th

ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning
fiery furnace; and who [is] that God that shall deliver you
out of my hands? {3:16} Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we
[are] not careful to answer thee in this matter. {3:17} If it be
[so,] our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the
burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver [us] out of thine
hand, O king. {3:18} But if not, be it known unto thee, O
king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the

my head troubled me. {4:6} Therefore made I a decree to
bring in all the wise [men] of Babylon before me, that they
might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
{4:7} Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the
Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before

That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall

let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy

the king spake, and said to the wise [men] of Babylon,
Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the
interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and

Then I lifted up mine 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. {8:4} 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. {8:5} 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. {8:6} And he came to the
ram that had [two] horns, which I had seen standing before
the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power. {8:7}
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved
with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake 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 upon him: and there was none that could deliver
the ram out of his hand. {8:8} Therefore the he goat waxed

And it waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it cast
down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and

sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.{10:10} And, behold, kingdom, an and hand shall touched return me, into which his own set meupon land. {11:10} my knees Butand

his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude
of great forces: and [one] shall certainly come, and
overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be
stirred up, [even] to his fortress. {11:11} And the king of
the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth
and fight with him, [even] with the king of the north: and he
shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be
given into his hand. {11:12} [And] when he hath taken
away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall
cast down [many] ten thousands: but he shall not be
strengthened [by it. ]{11:13} For the king of the north shall
return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the
former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a
great army and with much riches. {11:14} And in those
times there shall many stand up against the king of the
south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves
to establish the vision; but they shall fall. {11:15} So the
king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take
the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not
withstand, neither his chosen people, neither [shall there be
any] strength to withstand. {11:16} But he that cometh
against him shall do according to his own will, and none
shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious
land, which by his hand shall be consumed. {11:17} He
shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole
kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and
he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her:
but she shall not stand [on his side,] neither be for him.
{11:18} After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and
shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause
the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own
reproach he shall cause [it] to turn upon him. {11:19} Then
he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he
shall stumble and fall, and not be found. {11:20} Then shall
stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes [in] the glory of the
kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither

kingdom by flatteries. {11:22} And with the arms of a flood
shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be
broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant. {11:23} And
after the league [made] with him he shall work deceitfully:
for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small
people. {11:24} He shall enter peaceably even upon the
fattest places of the province; and he shall do [that] which
his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall
scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: [yea,]
and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds,

feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his
army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
{11:27} And both these kings’ hearts [shall be] to do
mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall
not prosper: for yet the end [shall be] at the time appointed.
{11:28} Then shall he return into his land with great riches;
and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he
shall do [exploits,] and return to his own land. {11:29} At
the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the
south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.{11:30} For the

Daniel King James Version Bible Page 483
therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have
indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he
shall even return, and have intelligence with them that
forsake the holy covenant. {11:31} And arms shall stand on
his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and
shall take away the daily [sacrifice,] and they shall place the
abomination that maketh desolate. {11:32} And such as do
wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries:
but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and
do [exploits. ]{11:33} And they that understand among the
people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword,
and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, [many] days.
{11:34} Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with
a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
{11:35} And [some] of them of understanding shall fall, to
try them, and to purge, and to make [them] white, [even] to
the time of the end: because [it is] yet for a time appointed.
{11:36} And the king shall do according to his will; and he
shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god,
and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods,
and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for
that that is determined shall be done. {11:37} Neither shall
he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women,
nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
{11:38} But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces:
and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with
gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant
things. {11:39} Thus shall he do in the most strong holds
with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge [and]
increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over
many, and shall divide the land for gain. {11:40} And at the
time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and
the king of the north shall come against him like a
whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with
many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall
overflow and pass over. {11:41} He shall enter also into the
glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown:
but these shall escape out of his hand, [even] Edom, and
Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. {11:42} He
shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the
land of Egypt shall not escape. {11:43} But he shall have
power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all
the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the
Ethiopians [shall be] at his steps. {11:44} But tidings out of
the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he
shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make
away many. {11:45} And he shall plant the tabernacles of
his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain;
wonders? {12:7} And I heard the man clothed in linen,
which [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up
his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by
him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a time, times,
and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter
the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be
finished. {12:8} And I heard, but I understood not: then said
I, O my Lord, what [shall be] the end of these [things?
]{12:9} And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words
[are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end. {12:10}
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the
wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall
understand; but the wise shall understand. {12:11} And
from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken
away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up,
[there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
{12:12} Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the
thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. {12:13}

garden doors, and went out themselves at privy doors to

{21:1} And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and
were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then
sent Jesus two disciples, {21:2} Saying unto them, Go into
the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find
an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them,] and bring
[them] unto me. {21:3} And if any [man] say ought unto
you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and
straightway he will send them. {21:4} All this was done,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
saying, {21:5} Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy
King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a
colt the foal of an ass. {21:6} And the disciples went, and
did as Jesus commanded them, {21:7} And brought the ass,
and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set
[him] thereon. {21:8} And a very great multitude spread
their garments in the way; others cut down branches from
the trees, and strawed [them] in the way. {21:9} And the
multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried,
saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed [is] he that
cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
{21:10} And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city
was moved, saying, Who is this? {21:11} And the multitude
said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.{21:12} And Jesus went into the temple of God, and castout all them that so

{27:8} Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood,
unto this day. {27:9} Then was fulfilled that which was
spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the
thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued,
whom they of the children of Israel did value; {27:10} And
gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.
{27:11} And Jesus stood before the governor: and the
governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?
And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. {27:12} And when
he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered
nothing. {27:13} Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou
not how many things they witness against thee? {27:14}
And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the

governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner,
whom they would. {27:16} And they had then a notable

ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is
called Christ? {27:18} For he knew that for envy they had

behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the
Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the
stone from the door, and sat upon it. {28:3} His
countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as
snow: {28:4} And for fear of him the keepers did shake,
and became as dead [men. ]{28:5} And the angel answered
and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye
seek Jesus, which was crucified. {28:6} He is not here: for
he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord
lay. {28:7} And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is
risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into
Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. {28:8}

great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.{28:9} And as they went to tell his disciples, behold,Jesus met them, saying, A

because they knew him. {1:35} And in the morning, rising
up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a
solitary place, and there prayed. {1:36} And Simon and
they that were with him followed after him. {1:37} And
when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men]
seek for thee. {1:38} And he said unto them, Let us go into
the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore
came I forth. {1:39} And he preached in their synagogues
throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils. {1:40} And there
came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to
him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me
clean. {1:41} And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth
[his] hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be
thou clean. {1:42} And as soon as he had spoken,
immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was
cleansed. {1:43} And he straitly charged him, and forthwith
sent him away; {1:44} And saith unto him, See thou say
nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the
priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them. {1:45} But he went
out, and began to publish [it] much, and to blaze abroad the
matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into
the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to
him from every quarter.{2:1} And again he entered into Capernaum,

Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him,
Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but
thy disciples fast not? {2:19} And Jesus said unto them,
Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the
bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the
bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. {2:20} But the
days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away
from them, and then shall they fast in those days. {2:21} No
man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment:
else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old,
and the rent is made worse. {2:22} And no man putteth new
wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the
bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be
marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles. {2:23}
And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on
the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to
pluck the ears of corn. {2:24} And the Pharisees said unto
him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is
not lawful? {2:25} And he said unto them, Have ye never
read what David did, when he had need, and was an
hungred, he, and they that were with him? {2:26} How he
went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high
priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat
but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with
him? {2:27} And he said unto them, The sabbath was made
for man, and not man for the sabbath: {2:28} Therefore the

leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the
swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into
the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked
in the sea. {5:14} And they that fed the swine fled, and told
[it] in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see
what it was that was done. {5:15} And they come to Jesus,
and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the
legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they
were afraid. {5:16} And they that saw [it] told them how it
befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and [also]
concerning the swine. {5:17} And they began to pray him to
depart out of their coasts. {5:18} And when he was come
into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil
prayed him that he might be with him. {5:19} Howbeit
Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy
friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done
for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. {5:20} And he
come.{4:30} And he said, Whereunto shall we liken thekingdom departed, and of God? began or to with publish what in comparison Decapolis how shall great wecompare
things Jesus had done for him: and all [men] did marvel.
{5:21} And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto
the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was
nigh unto the sea. {5:22} And, behold, there cometh one of
the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he
saw him, he fell at his feet, {5:23} And besought him
greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death:
[I pray thee,] come and lay thy hands on her, that she may
be healed; and she shall live. {5:24} And [Jesus] went with
him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
{5:25} And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood
twelve years, {5:26} And had suffered many things of many
physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing
bettered, but rather grew worse, {5:27} When she had heard
of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
{5:28} For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be
whole. {5:29} And straightway the fountain of her blood
was dried up; and she felt in [her] body that she was healed
of that plague. {5:30} And Jesus, immediately knowing in
himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in
the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? {5:31} And
his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude
thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? {5:32}
And he looked round about to see her that had done this
thing. {5:33} But the woman fearing and trembling,
knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before

Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and
be whole of thy plague. {5:35} While he yet spake, there
came from the ruler of the synagogue’s [house certain]
which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the
Master any further? {5:36} As soon as Jesus heard the word
that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue,
Be not afraid, only believe. {5:37} And he suffered no man
to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother
of James. {5:38} And he cometh to the house of the ruler of
the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and
wailed greatly. {5:39} And when he was come in, he saith
unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is
not dead, but sleepeth. {5:40} And they laughed him to
scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father
and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him,

took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. {6:30} And the
apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told
him all things, both what they had done, and what they had
taught. {6:31} And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves
apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were
many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as
to eat. {6:32} And they departed into a desert place by ship
privately. {6:33} And the people saw them departing, and
many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and
outwent them, and came together unto him. {6:34} And
Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved
with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep
not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many
things. {6:35} And when the day was now far spent, his
disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place,
and now the time [is] far passed: {6:36} Send them away,
went round about the villages, teaching.{6:7} And he called [unto that him] they the may twelve, go into and the began country tosend round them about, forth and by into two the and two; an
villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to
eat. {6:37} He answered and said unto them, Give ye them
to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two
hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? {6:38}
He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see.
And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. {6:39}
And he commanded them to make all sit down by
companies upon the green grass. {6:40} And they sat down
in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. {6:41} And when he
had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to
heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave [them]
to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes
divided he among them all. {6:42} And they did all eat, and
were filled. {6:43} And they took up twelve baskets full of
the fragments, and of the fishes. {6:44} And they that did
eat of the loaves were about five thousand men. {6:45} And
straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship,
and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he
sent away the people. {6:46} And when he had sent them
away, he departed into a mountain to pray. {6:47} And
when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea,
and he alone on the land. {6:48} And he saw them toiling in
rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the
fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking
upon the sea, and would have passed by them. {6:49} But
when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it
had been a spirit, and cried out: {6:50} For they all saw
him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with
them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not
afraid. {6:51} And he went up unto them into the ship; and
the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves
beyond measure, and wondered. {6:52} For they considered
not [the miracle] of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
{6:53} And when they had passed over, they came into the
land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. {6:54} And
when they were come out of the ship, straightway they
knew him, {6:55} And ran through that whole region round
about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick,
where they heard he was. {6:56} And whithersoever he
entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick
in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it
were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched
him were made whole.

{7:1} Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and
certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. {7:2}
And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with
defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found
fault. {7:3} For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they
wash [their] hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the
elders. {7:4} 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, brasen vessels, and of tables. {7:5} Then the
Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy
disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat
bread with unwashen hands? {7:6} He answered and said
unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites,
as it is written, This people honoureth me with [their] lips,
but their heart is far from me. {7:7} Howbeit in vain do they
worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of
men. {7:8} For laying aside the commandment of God, ye
hold the tradition of men, [as] the washing of pots and cups:
and many other such like things ye do. {7:9} And he said
unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God,
that ye may keep your own tradition. {7:10} For Moses
said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth
father or mother, let him die the death: {7:11} But ye say, If
a man shall say to his father or mother, [It is] Corban, that is
to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by
me; [he shall be free. ]{7:12} And ye suffer him no more to
do ought for his father or his mother; {7:13} Making the
word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye
have delivered: and many such like things do ye.{7:14} And when he had called all the people [unto him,]he said unto them, Hearken
evil things come from within, and defile the man.{7:24} And from thence he arose, and went into theborders of Tyre and Sido
upon the bed.{7:31} And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and
Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of
the coasts of Decapolis. {7:32} And they bring unto him
one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and
they beseech him to put his hand upon him. {7:33} And he
took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into
his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; {7:34} And
looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him,
Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. {7:35} And straightway his
ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed,
and he spake plain. {7:36} And he charged them that they
should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much
the more a great deal they published [it; ]{7:37} And were
beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things
well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to
speak.{8:1} In those days the multitude being very great, andhavin

beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to [him]
saluted him. {9:16} And he asked the scribes, What
question ye with them? {9:17} And one of the multitude
answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my
son, which hath a dumb spirit; {9:18} And wheresoever he
taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth
with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples
that they should cast him out; and they could not. {9:19} He
answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long
shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him
unto me. {9:20} And they brought him unto him: and when
he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on
the ground, and wallowed foaming. {9:21} And he asked
his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him?
And he said, Of a child. {9:22} And ofttimes it hath cast
him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if
thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help
the things that be of men.{8:34} And when he had called the us. people {9:23} [unto Jesus him]with said unto his disciples him, If thou also, canst he said believe, unto them, all Whos
things [are] possible to him that believeth. {9:24} And
straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with
tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. {9:25}
When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he
rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, [Thou] dumb and
deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no
more into him. {9:26} And [the spirit] cried, and rent him
sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead;
insomuch that many said, He is dead. {9:27} But Jesus took
him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. {9:28}
And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked
him privately, Why could not we cast him out? {9:29} And
he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but
angels.{9:1} And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, Thatthere by prayer be and some fasting.{9:30} of them that stand And they here, departed which shall thence, not tasteof and passe death

a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. {10:26} And
they were astonished out of measure, saying among
themselves, Who then can be saved? {10:27} And Jesus

{12:21} And the second took her, and died, neither left he
any seed: and the third likewise. {12:22} And the seven had
her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
{12:23} In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise,
whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to
wife. {12:24} And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye
not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures,
neither the power of God? {12:25} For when they shall rise
from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in
marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. {12:26}
And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in
the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him,
saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob? {12:27} He is not the God of the

against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew
asked him privately, {13:4} Tell us, when shall these things

shall deceive many. {13:7} And when ye shall hear of wars
and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for [such things]

{13:32} But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but
the Father. {13:33} Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye
know not when the time is. {13:34} [For the Son of man is]
as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave
authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and
commanded the porter to watch. {13:35} Watch ye
therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house
cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in
the morning: {13:36} Lest coming suddenly he find you
sleeping. {13:37} And what I say unto you I say unto all,

when he had given thanks, he gave [it] to them: and they all
drank of it. {14:24} And he said unto them, This is my
blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the
servants, and warmed himself at the fire. {14:55} And the
chief priests and all the council sought for witness against
Jesus to put him to death; and found none. {14:56} For
many bare false witness against him, but their witness
agreed not together. {14:57} And there arose certain, and
bare false witness against him, saying, {14:58} We heard
him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands,
and within three days I will build another made without
hands. {14:59} But neither so did their witness agree
together. {14:60} And the high priest stood up in the midst,
and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what [is it
which] these witness against thee? {14:61} But he held his
peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked
him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the
Blessed? {14:62} And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the
Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming
in the clouds of heaven. {14:63} Then the high priest rent
his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
{14:64} Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And
they all condemned him to be guilty of death. {14:65} And
some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to
buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants

there shall be no end. {1:34} Then said Mary unto the
angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? {1:35}
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
wherein thou hast been instructed.{1:5} There was in the days of overshadow Herod, the thee: king of therefore Judaea,a also certain that holy priest thing named which Zacharias, shall of the c

behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son
in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was
called barren. {1:37} For with God nothing shall be
impossible. {1:38} And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of
the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the
angel departed from her. {1:39} And Mary arose in those
days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of
Juda; {1:40} And entered into the house of Zacharias, and
saluted Elisabeth. {1:41} And it came to pass, that, when
Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in
her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
{1:42} And she spake out with a loud voice, and said,
Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit
of thy womb. {1:43} And whence [is] this to me, that the
mother of my Lord should come to me? {1:44} For, lo, as
soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the
babe leaped in my womb for joy. {1:45} And blessed [is]
she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those
things which were told her from the Lord. {1:46} And Mary
said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, {1:47} And my spirit
hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. {1:48} For he hath
regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold,
from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
{1:49} For he that is mighty hath done to me great things;
and holy [is] his name. {1:50} And his mercy [is] on them
that fear him from generation to generation. {1:51} He hath
shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in
the imagination of their hearts. {1:52} He hath put down the
mighty from [their] seats, and exalted them of low degree.
{1:53} He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the
rich he hath sent empty away. {1:54} He hath holpen his
servant Israel, in remembrance of [his] mercy; {1:55} As he
spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
{1:56} And Mary abode with her about three months, and
returned to her own house. {1:57} Now Elisabeth’s full
time came that she should be delivered; and she brought
forth a son. {1:58} And her neighbours and her cousins
heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and
they rejoiced with her. {1:59} And it came to pass, that on
the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they
called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. {1:60}
And his mother answered and said, Not [so;] but he shall be
called John. {1:61} And they said unto her, There is none of
thy kindred that is called by this name. {1:62} And they
made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
{1:63} And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying,
His name is John. And they marvelled all. {1:64} And his
mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed,]
and he spake, and praised God. {1:65} And fear came on all
that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were
noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
{1:66} And all they that heard [them] laid [them] up in their
hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the
hand of the Lord was with him. {1:67} And his father
Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied,

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; {2:37} And she [was] a
widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed
not from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and
prayers night and day. {2:38} And she coming in that
instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of
him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
{2:39} And when they had performed all things according
to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their
own city Nazareth. {2:40} And the child grew, and waxed
strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God
was upon him. {2:41} Now his parents went to Jerusalem
every year at the feast of the passover. {2:42} And when he
was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the
custom of the feast. {2:43} And when they had fulfilled the
days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in
Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not [of it.
]{2:44} But they, supposing him to have been in the
company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among
[their] kinsfolk and acquaintance. {2:45} And when they
found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking
him. {2:46} And it came to pass, that after three days they
found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors,
both hearing them, and asking them questions. {2:47} And
all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and
answers. {2:48} And when they saw him, they were
amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou
thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee
sorrowing. {2:49} And he said unto them, How is it that ye
sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s
business? {2:50} And they understood not the saying which
he spake unto them. {2:51} And he went down with them,
and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his
mother kept all these sayings in her heart. {2:52} And Jesus
increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God
and man.{3:1} Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of TiberiusCa

Zacharias in the wilderness. {3:3} And he came into all the
country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance
for the remission of sins; {3:4} As it is written in the book
of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one
crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight. {3:5} Every valley shall be filled,
and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the
crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways [shall
be] made smooth; {3:6} And all flesh shall see the salvation
of God. {3:7} Then said he to the multitude that came forth
to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath
warned you to flee from the wrath to come? {3:8} Bring
forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to
say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for
I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up
children unto Abraham. {3:9} And now also the axe is laid
unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the
fire. {3:10} And the people asked him, saying, What shall
we do then? {3:11} He answereth and saith unto them, He
that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none;
and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. {3:12} Then
came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him,
Master, what shall we do? {3:13} And he said unto them,
Exact no more than that which is appointed you. {3:14}
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And
what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no
man, neither accuse [any] falsely; and be content with your
wages. {3:15} And as the people were in expectation, and
all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the
Christ, or not; {3:16} John answered, saying unto [them]
all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I
cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to
unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with
fire: {3:17} Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will
throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his
garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
{3:18} And many other things in his exhortation preached
he unto the people. {3:19} But Herod the tetrarch, being
reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and
for all the evils which Herod had done, {3:20} Added yet
this above all, that he shut up John in prison. {3:21} Now
when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that
Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was
opened, {3:22} And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily
shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven,
which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well
pleased. {3:23} And Jesus himself began to be about thirty
years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph,

began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in
your ears. {4:22} And all bare him witness, and wondered
at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth.
And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son? {4:23} And he said
unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb,
Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in
Capernaum, do also here in thy country. {4:24} And he
said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his
own country. {4:25} But I tell you of a truth, many widows
were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was
shut up three years and six months, when great famine was
throughout all the land; {4:26} But unto none of them was
Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, [a city] of Sidon, unto a
woman [that was] a widow. {4:27} And many lepers were
in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of
them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. {4:28} And
all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things,
were filled with wrath, {4:29} And rose up, and thrust him
out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill
whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down
headlong. {4:30} But he passing through the midst of them
went his way, {4:31} And came down to Capernaum, a city
of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. {4:32}
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was
answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the
night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I
will let down the net. {5:6} And when they had this done,
they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net
brake. {5:7} And they beckoned unto [their] partners, which
were in the other ship, that they should come and help them.
And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began
to sink. {5:8} When Simon Peter saw [it,] he fell down at
Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man,
O Lord. {5:9} For he was astonished, and all that were with
him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
{5:10} And so [was] also James, and John, the sons of
Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said
unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into

And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that
is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but
deliver us from evil. {11:5} And he said unto them, Which
of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at
midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
{11:6} For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me,
and I have nothing to set before him? {11:7} And he from
within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is
now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise
and give thee. {11:8} I say unto you, Though he will not
rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of
his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he
needeth. {11:9} And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be
given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you. {11:10} For every one that asketh
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened. {11:11} If a son shall ask bread
of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if
[he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
{11:12} Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a
scorpion? {11:13} If ye then, being evil, know how to give
good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your]

for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a
greater than Jonas [is] here. {11:33} No man, when he hath
lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under
a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may
see the light. {11:34} The light of the body is the eye:
therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is
full of light; but when [thine eye] is evil, thy body also [is]
full of darkness. {11:35} Take heed therefore that the light
which is in thee be not darkness. {11:36} If thy whole body
therefore [be] full of light, having no part dark, the whole

shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power
to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. {12:6} Are
not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of
them is forgotten before God? {12:7} But even the very
hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye
are of more value than many sparrows. {12:8} Also I say
unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him
shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
{12:9} But he that denieth me before men shall be denied
before the angels of God. {12:10} And whosoever shall
speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven
him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost
it shall not be forgiven. {12:11} And when they bring you
unto the synagogues, and [unto] magistrates, and powers,
take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or
what ye shall say: {12:12} For the Holy Ghost shall teach
like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return
from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they
may open unto him immediately. {12:37} Blessed [are]
those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find
watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself,
and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and
serve them. {12:38} And if he shall come in the second
watch, or come in the third watch, and find [them] so,
blessed are those servants. {12:39} And this know, that if
the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief
would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered
his house to be broken through. {12:40} Be ye therefore
ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye
think not.{12:41} Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thouth

came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his
father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his
neck, and kissed him. {15:21} And the son said unto him,
Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and
am no more worthy to be called thy son. {15:22} But the
father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put
[it] on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on [his]
feet: {15:23} And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill [it;]
and let us eat, and be merry: {15:24} For this my son was
dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they
began to be merry. {15:25} Now his elder son was in the
field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard
musick and dancing. {15:26} And he called one of the
servants, and asked what these things meant. {15:27} And
he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath
killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and
sound. {15:28} And he was angry, and would not go in:

have is thine. {15:32} It was meet that we should make
merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is

afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God,
nor regard man; {18:5} Yet because this widow troubleth
me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she
weary me. {18:6} And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust
judge saith. {18:7} And shall not God avenge his own elect,
which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with
them? {18:8} I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.
Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find
faith on the earth? {18:9} And he spake this parable unto
certain which trusted in themselves that they were
righteous, and despised others: {18:10} Two men went up
into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a
publican. {18:11} The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with
himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are,]
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
{18:12} I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I
possess. {18:13} And the publican, standing afar off, would
not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote
upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
{18:14} I tell you, this man went down to his house
justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall
be exalted. {18:15} And they brought unto him also infants,
that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it,]
they rebuked them. {18:16} But Jesus called them [unto
him,] and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. {18:17}
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter
therein. {18:18} And a certain ruler asked him, saying,
Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? {18:19}
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none
[is] good, save one, [that is,] God. {18:20} Thou knowest
the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill,
Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father
and thy mother. {18:21} And he said, All these have I kept
from my youth up. {18:22} Now when Jesus heard these
things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all
that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. {18:23} And
when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very
rich. {18:24} And when Jesus saw that he was very
sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches
enter into the kingdom of God! {18:25} For it is easier for a
camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to
enter into the kingdom of God. {18:26} And they that heard
[it] said, Who then can be saved? {18:27} And he said, The
things which are impossible with men are possible with
God. {18:28} Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and
followed thee. {18:29} And he said unto them, Verily I say
unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or
brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s
sake, {18:30} Who shall not receive manifold more in this
asked what it meant. {18:37} And they told him, that Jesus
of Nazareth passeth by. {18:38} And he cried, saying,
Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me. {18:39} And
they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold
his peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] Son of
David, have mercy on me. {18:40} And Jesus stood, and
commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was
come near, he asked him, {18:41} Saying, What wilt thou
that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may
receive my sight. {18:42} And Jesus said unto him, Receive
thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. {18:43} And
immediately he received his sight, and followed him,
glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it,] gave
praise unto God.{19:1} And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jer
present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.{18:31} Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and saidunto them, Behold,

shamefully, and sent [him] away empty. {20:12} And again
he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him]
out. {20:13} Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I
do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will
reverence [him] when they see him. {20:14} But when the
husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves,
saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the
inheritance may be ours. {20:15} So they cast him out of
the vineyard, and killed [him.] What therefore shall the lord
of the vineyard do unto them? {20:16} He shall come and
destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to
others. And when they heard [it,] they said, God forbid.
{20:17} And he beheld them, and said, What is this then
that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the

name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only
a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things
which are come to pass there in these days? {24:19} And he
said unto them, What things? And they said unto him,
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty
in deed and word before God and all the people: {24:20}
And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be
condemned to death, and have crucified him. {24:21} But
we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed
Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these
things were done. {24:22} Yea, and certain women also of
our company made us astonished, which were early at the
sepulchre; {24:23} And when they found not his body, they
came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels,
which said that he was alive. {24:24} And certain of them
which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found [it]
even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
{24:25} Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart
to believe all that the prophets have spoken: {24:26} Ought
not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his
glory? {24:27} And beginning at Moses and all the
prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the
things concerning himself. {24:28} And they drew nigh
unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though
he would have gone further. {24:29} But they constrained
him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the
day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. {24:30}
And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took
bread, and blessed [it,] and brake, and gave to them.
{24:31} And their eyes were opened, and they knew him;
and he vanished out of their sight. {24:32} And they said
one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he
talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the
scriptures? {24:33} And they rose up the same hour, and
returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered
together, and them that were with them, {24:34} Saying,
The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
{24:35} And they told what things [were done] in the way,
and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.{24:36} And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood inthe midst of them, and
these things.{24:49} And, behold, I send the promise of my Fatherupon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be
endued with power from on high.
{24:50} And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he
lifted up his hands, and blessed them. {24:51} And it came
to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them,
and carried up into heaven. {24:52} And they worshipped
him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: {24:53} And
were continually in the temple, praising and blessing

{4:13} Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever
drinketh of this water shall thirst again: {4:14} But
whosoever drinketh 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.
{4:15} The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water,
that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. {4:16} Jesus
saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
{4:17} The woman answered and said, I have no husband.
Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
{4:18} For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou
now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. {4:19}
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a
prophet. {4:20} Our fathers worshipped in this mountain;
and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought
to worship. {4:21} Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe
me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. {4:22}
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship:
for salvation is of the Jews. {4:23} But the hour cometh,
and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to
worship him. {4:24} God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship
him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. {4:25} The
woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which
is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water
wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was
sick at Capernaum. {4:47} When he heard that Jesus was
come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and
besought him that he would come down, and heal his son:
for he was at the point of death. {4:48} Then said Jesus unto
him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
{4:49} The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere
my child die. {4:50} Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy
son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had
spoken unto him, and he went his way. {4:51} And as he
was now going down, his servants met him, and told [him,]
saying, Thy son liveth. {4:52} Then enquired he of them the
hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him,
Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. {4:53} So
the father knew that [it was] at the same hour, in the which
Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed,
and his whole house. {4:54} This [is] again the second
miracle [that] Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea

judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the
Son: {5:23} That all [men] should honour the Son, even as
they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son
honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. {5:24}
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death
unto life. {5:25} Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is
coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of
the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. {5:26} For as
the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son
to have life in himself; {5:27} And hath given him authority
to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
{5:28} Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the
which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, {5:29}
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation. {5:30} I can of mine own self do
nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because
I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which
hath sent me. {5:31} If I bear witness of myself, my witness
Peter’s brother, saith unto him, {6:9} There is a lad here,
which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but
what are they among so many? {6:10} And Jesus said,
Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the
place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
{6:11} And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given
thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to
them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much
as they would. {6:12} When they were filled, he said unto
his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that
nothing be lost. {6:13} Therefore they gathered [them]
together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the
five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto
them that had eaten. {6:14} Then those men, when they had
seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that
prophet that should come into the world.{6:15} When Jesus therefore
is not true.{5:32} There is another that beareth witness of me; and Iknow that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.{5:3

him that sent me. {6:39} And this is the Father’s will which
hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should
lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
{6:40} And this is the will of him that sent me, that every
one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have
everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
{6:41} The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I
am the bread which came down from heaven. {6:42} And
they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father
and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came
down from heaven? {6:43} Jesus therefore answered and
said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. {6:44} No
man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me
draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. {6:45} It is
written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.
Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the
Father, cometh unto me. {6:46} Not that any man hath seen
the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
{6:47} Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on
me hath everlasting life. {6:48} I am that bread of life.
{6:49} Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and
are dead. {6:50} This is the bread which cometh down from
heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. {6:51} I am
the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man
eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I
will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the
world. {6:52} The Jews therefore strove among themselves,
saying, How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat? {6:53}
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his
blood, ye have no life in you. {6:54} Whoso eateth my
flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will
raise him up at the last day. {6:55} For my flesh is meat
indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. {6:56} He that eateth
my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in
him. {6:57} As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by
the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
{6:58} This is that bread which came down from heaven:
not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that
eateth of this bread shall live for ever. {6:59} These things
said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
{6:60} Many therefore of his disciples, when they had
heard [this,] said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
{6:61} When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples
murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
{6:62} [What] and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up
where he was before? {6:63} It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,
[they] are spirit, and [they] are life. {6:64} But there are
some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the
beginning who they were that believed not, and who should
betray him. {6:65} And he said, Therefore said I unto you,
that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto
{7:3} His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence,
and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the
works that thou doest. {7:4} For [there is] no man [that]
doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be
known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the
world. {7:5} For neither did his brethren believe in him.
{7:6} Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come:
but your time is alway ready. {7:7} The world cannot hate
you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works
thereof are evil. {7:8} Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up
yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. {7:9}
When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still] in
Galilee.{7:10} But when his brethren were gone up, then went healso

said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith,

them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this
world; I am not of this world. {8:24} I said therefore unto
you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I
am [he,] ye shall die in your sins. {8:25} Then said they
unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even

them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye
know that I am [he,] and [that] I do nothing of myself; but
as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. {8:29}
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me
alone; for I do always those things that please him. {8:30}
As he spake these words, many believed on him. {8:31}
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye
continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;
{8:32} And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free.{8:33} They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed,

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had
found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son
of God? {9:36} He answered and said, Who is he, Lord,
that I might believe on him? {9:37} And Jesus said unto
him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with

Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs
off: {11:19} And many of the Jews came to Martha and
Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. {11:20}
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming,
went and met him: but Mary sat [still] in the house. {11:21}
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here,
my brother had not died. {11:22} But I know, that even
now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it]
thee. {11:23} Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise
again. {11:24} Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall
rise again in the resurrection at the last day. {11:25} Jesus
said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
{11:26} And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall
never die. Believest thou this? {11:27} She saith unto him,
Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God,
which should come into the world. {11:28} And when she
had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister
secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
{11:29} As soon as she heard [that,] she arose quickly, and
came unto him. {11:30} Now Jesus was not yet come into
the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
{11:31} The Jews then which were with her in the house,
and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up
hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto
the grave to weep there. {11:32} Then when Mary was
come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his
feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died. {11:33} When Jesus therefore saw her
weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her,
he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, {11:34} And
said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord,
come and see. {11:35} Jesus wept. {11:36} Then said the
Jews, Behold how he loved him! {11:37} And some of
them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the
blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
And many believed on him there.{11:1} Now a certain [man] was {11:38} sick, Jesus [named] therefore Lazarus,of again groaning Bethany, in the himself town of cometh Mary to and her sis
the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. {11:39}
Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him
that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh:
for he hath been [dead] four days. {11:40} Jesus saith unto
her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou
shouldest see the glory of God? {11:41} Then they took
away the stone [from the place] where the dead was laid.
And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee
that thou hast heard me. {11:42} And I knew that thou
hearest me always: but because of the people which stand
by I said [it,] that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
{11:43} And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud
voice, Lazarus, come forth. {11:44} And he that was dead
came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his
face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them,
Loose him, and let him go. {11:45} Then many of the Jews
which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus

did, believed on him. {11:46} But some of them went their he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the

to judge the world, but to save the world. {12:48} He that
rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that
judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall
judge him in the last day. {12:49} For I have not spoken of
myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a
commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
{12:50} And I know that his commandment is life
everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father
Jesus had said unto him, Buy [those things] that we have
need of against the feast; or, that he should give something
to the poor. {13:30} He then having received the sop went

will manifest myself to him. {14:22} Judas saith unto him,
not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself
unto us, and not unto the world? {14:23} Jesus answered
and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto
him, and make our abode with him. {14:24} He that loveth
me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear
is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. {14:25} These
things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you.
{14:26} But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you
all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you. {14:27} Peace I leave with
you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give
I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid. {14:28} Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go
away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would
rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is
greater than I. {14:29} And now I have told you before it
come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might
believe. {14:30} Hereafter I will not talk much with you:
for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

{15:22} If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had
not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
{15:23} He that hateth me hateth my Father also. {15:24} If
I had not done among them the works which none other
man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen
and hated both me and my Father. {15:25} But [this cometh
to pass,] that the word might be fulfilled that is written in
their law, They hated me without a cause. {15:26} But
when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you
from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth
from the Father, he shall testify of me: {15:27} And ye also
shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the

but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. {16:26} At that
day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I
will pray the Father for you: {16:27} For the Father himself
loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed
that I came out from God. {16:28} I came forth from the
Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the
world, and go to the Father. {16:29} His disciples said unto
him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no
proverb. {16:30} Now are we sure that thou knowest all
things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this
we believe that thou camest forth from God. {16:31} Jesus
answered them, Do ye now believe? {16:32} Behold, the
hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered,
every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I
am not alone, because the Father is with me. {16:33} These
things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have
peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good
{17:24} Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given
me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory,

foundation of the world. {17:25} O righteous Father, the
world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and
these have known that thou hast sent me. {17:26} And I

them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered,
We have no king but Caesar. {19:16} Then delivered he
him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took
Jesus, and led [him] away. {19:17} And he bearing his
cross went forth into a place called [the place] of a skull,
which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: {19:18} Where
they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side
one, and Jesus in the midst.{19:19} And Pilate wrote a title, and put [

gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took the body of
Jesus. {19:39} And there came also Nicodemus, which at
the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of
myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound [weight. ]{19:40}
Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen
clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
{19:41} Now in the place where he was crucified there was
a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was
never man yet laid. {19:42} There laid they Jesus therefore
because of the Jews’ preparation [day;] for the sepulchre
was nigh at hand.{20:1} The first [day] of the week cometh MaryMagdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulch

{20:24} But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus,

disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord.

print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the
nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.{20:26} And

thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus
saith unto him, Feed my sheep. {21:18} Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and
walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old,
thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird
thee, and carry [thee] whither thou wouldest not. {21:19}
This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify
God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him,
Follow me. {21:20} Then Peter, turning about, seeth the
disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on
his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that
betrayeth thee? {21:21} Peter seeing him saith to Jesus,
Lord, and what [shall] this man [do? ]{21:22} Jesus saith
unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to
thee? follow thou me. {21:23} Then went this saying
abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die:
yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will
that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee? {21:24} This
is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote
these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
{21:25} And there are also many other things which Jesus
did, the which, if they should be written every one, I
suppose that even the

men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that
they had been with Jesus. {4:14} And beholding the man
which was healed standing with them, they could say
nothing against it. {4:15} But when they had commanded
them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among
themselves, {4:16} Saying, What shall we do to these men?
for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them

cannot deny [it. ]{4:17} But that it spread no further among
the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak
henceforth to no man in this name. {4:18} And they called
them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in
the name of Jesus. {4:19} But Peter and John answered and
said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to
hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. {4:20} For
we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and
heard. {4:21} So when they had further threatened them,
they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish
them, because of the people: for all [men] glorified God for
that which was done. {4:22} For the man was above forty

words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came
on all them that heard these things. {5:6} And the young
men arose, wound him up, and carried [him] out, and buried
[him. ]{5:7} And it was about the space of three hours after,
when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. {5:8}
And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the
land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. {5:9}
Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed
together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of
them which have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and
shall carry thee out. {5:10} Then fell she down straightway
at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men
came in, and found her dead, and, carrying [her] forth,
buried [her] by her husband. {5:11} And great fear came

in a flame of fire in a bush. {7:31} When Moses saw [it,] he
wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold [it,]
the voice of the Lord came unto him, {7:32} [Saying,] I
[am] the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled,
and durst not behold. {7:33} Then said the Lord to him, Put
off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou
standest is holy ground. {7:34} 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 thee into Egypt. {7:35} This Moses
whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a

by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.

wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea,
and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet,
whose name was Saul. {7:59} And they stoned Stephen,

had said this, he fell asleep.{8:1} And Saul was consenting unto his de

come to Jerusalem for to worship, {8:28} Was returning,
and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. {8:29}
Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to
this chariot. {8:30} And Philip ran thither to [him,] and
heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest
thou what thou readest? {8:31} And he said, How can I,
except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip
that he would come up and sit with him. {8:32} The place
of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a
sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his
shearer, so opened he not his mouth: {8:33} In his
humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall
declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
{8:34} And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray
thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of
some other man? {8:35} Then Philip opened his mouth, and
began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
{8:36} And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a
certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water;
what doth hinder me to be baptized? {8:37} And Philip
said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And
he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son
of God. {8:38} And he commanded the chariot to stand
still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip
and the eunuch; and he baptized him. {8:39} And when
they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord
caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and
he went on his way rejoicing. {8:40} But Philip was found
at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities,
name’s sake. {9:17} And Ananias went his way, and
entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said,
Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, that appeared unto thee
in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest
receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. {9:18}
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been
scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was
baptized. {9:19} And when he had received meat, he was
strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples
which were at Damascus. {9:20} And straightway he
preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of
God. {9:21} But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said;
Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name
in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might
bring them bound unto the chief priests? {9:22} But Saul
increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews
which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.{9:23} And
till he came to Caesarea.{9:1} And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings andslaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went
multiplied.{9:32} And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all
eat nor drink.{9:10} And there was a certain disciple at Damascus,named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision,A
Simon a tanner.

Acts King James Version Bible Page 755
{10:1} There was a certain man in Caesarea called
Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band,
]{10:2} A devout [man,] and one that feared God with all
his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed
to God alway. {10:3} He saw in a vision evidently about the
ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and
saying unto him, Cornelius. {10:4} And when he looked on
him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said
unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a
memorial before God. {10:5} And now send men to Joppa,
and call for [one] Simon, whose surname is Peter: {10:6}
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the
sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. {10:7}
And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was
departed, he called two of his household servants, and a
devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
{10:8} And when he had declared all [these] things unto
ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood
before me in bright clothing, {10:31} And said, Cornelius,
thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance
in the sight of God. {10:32} Send therefore to Joppa, and
call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in
the house of [one] Simon a tanner by the sea side: who,
when he cometh, shall speak unto thee. {10:33}
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well
done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here
present before God, to hear all things that are commanded
thee of God.{10:34} Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of
them, he sent them to Joppa.{10:9} On the morrow, as they went on their journey, anddrew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon th

her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was

they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a
certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [was]
Bar-jesus: {13:7} Which was with the deputy of the
country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for
Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
{13:8} But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by
interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the
deputy from the faith. {13:9} Then Saul, (who also [is
called] Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on
him, {13:10} And said, O full of all subtilty and all
mischief, [thou] child of the devil, [thou] enemy of all
righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways
of the Lord? {13:11} And now, behold, the hand of the
Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the
sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist
and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him
by the hand. {13:12} Then the deputy, when he saw what
was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the
Lord. {13:13} Now when Paul and his company loosed
from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John
is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this
day have I begotten thee. {13:34} And as concerning that he
raised him up from the dead, [now] no more to return to
corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure
mercies of David. {13:35} Wherefore he saith also in
another [psalm,] Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption. {13:36} For David, after he had served his own
generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid
unto his fathers, and saw corruption: {13:37} But he, whom
God raised again, saw no corruption.{13:38} Be it known unto yo

stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to
be healed, {14:10} Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on
thy feet. And he leaped and walked. {14:11} And when the
people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices,
saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down
to us in the likeness of men. {14:12} And they called
Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the
chief speaker. {14:13} Then the priest of Jupiter, which was
before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates,
and would have done sacrifice with the people. {14:14}
[Which] when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard [of,]
they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying
out, {14:15} And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We
also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you
that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God,
which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things

nations to walk in their own ways. {14:17} Nevertheless he
left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and
gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our
hearts with food and gladness. {14:18} And with these
sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not
done sacrifice unto them.{14:19} And there came thither [certain] Jews fromAntioch and Iconium, who persuaded the peo

much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men
[and] brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God
made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth
should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. {15:8} And
God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving
them the Holy Ghost, even as [he did] unto us; {15:9} And
put no difference between us and them, purifying their
hearts by faith. {15:10} Now therefore why tempt ye God,
to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither
our fathers nor we were able to bear? {15:11} But we
believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we
shall be saved, even as they.{15:12} Then all the multitude kept si

city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and
Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in
travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. {19:30}
And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the
disciples suffered him not. {19:31} And certain of the chief
of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring
[him] that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
{19:32} Some therefore cried one thing, and some another:
for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not
wherefore they were come together. {19:33} And they drew
Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him
forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and
would have made his defence unto the people. {19:34} But
when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about
the space of two hours cried out, Great [is] Diana of the
Ephesians. {19:35} And when the townclerk had appeased
the people, he said, [Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there
that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a
worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the [image]
which fell down from Jupiter? {19:36} Seeing then that
these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet,
and to do nothing rashly. {19:37} For ye have brought

looked up upon him. {22:14} And he said, The God of our
fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will,
and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his
mouth. {22:15} For thou shalt be his witness unto all men
of what thou hast seen and heard. {22:16} And now why
tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy
sins, calling on the name of the Lord. {22:17} And it came
to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even
while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance; {22:18} And
saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly
out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony
concerning me. {22:19} And I said, Lord, they know that I
imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed
on thee: {22:20} And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen
was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his
death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. {22:21}
And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence
unto the Gentiles. {22:22} And they gave him audience
unto this word, and [then] lifted up their voices, and said,
Away with such a [fellow] from the earth: for it is not fit
that he should live. {22:23} And as they cried out, and cast
off [their] clothes, and threw dust into the air, {22:24} The
chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle,
and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he
might know wherefore they cried so against him. {22:25}
And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the
centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a
man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? {22:26} When the
centurion heard [that,] he went and told the chief captain,
saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
{22:27} Then the chief captain came, and said unto him,
Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. {22:28} And the
chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this
freedom. And Paul said, But I was [free] born. {22:29}
Then straightway they departed from him which should

after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had
bound him. {22:30} On the morrow, because he would have
known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews,
he loosed him from [his] bands, and commanded the chief
priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul
down, and set him before them.{23:1} And Paul, earnestly beholdin

Acts King James Version Bible Page 764
divided. {23:8} For the Sadducees say that there is no
resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees
confess both. {23:9} And there arose a great cry: and the
scribes [that were] of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove,
saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an
angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
{23:10} And when there arose a great dissension, the chief
captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces
of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take
him by force from among them, and to bring [him] into the
castle. {23:11} And the night following the Lord stood by
him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast
testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also
at Rome. {23:12} And when it was day, certain of the Jews
banded together, and bound themselves under a curse,
saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had
killed Paul. {23:13} And they were more than forty which
had made this conspiracy. {23:14} And they came to the
chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves
under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have
slain Paul. {23:15} Now therefore ye with the council
signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you
to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more
perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are
ready to kill him. {23:16} And when Paul’s sister’s son
heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the
castle, and told Paul. {23:17} Then Paul called one of the
centurions unto [him,] and said, Bring this young man unto
the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
{23:18} So he took him, and brought [him] to the chief
captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto [him,]
and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath
something to say unto thee. {23:19} Then the chief captain
took him by the hand, and went [with him] aside privately,
and asked [him,] What is that thou hast to tell me? {23:20}
And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou
wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as
though they would enquire somewhat of him more
perfectly. {23:21} But do not thou yield unto them: for
there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which
have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither
eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they
ready, looking for a promise from thee. {23:22} So the
chief captain [then] let the young man depart, and charged
[him, See thou] tell no man that thou hast shewed these
things to me. {23:23} And he called unto [him] two
centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go
to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and
spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
{23:24} And provide [them] beasts, that they may set Paul
on, and bring [him] safe unto Felix the governor. {23:25}
And he wrote a letter after this manner: {23:26} Claudius
Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix [sendeth]
greeting. {23:27} This man was taken of the Jews, and
should have been killed of them: then came I with an army,
and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
{23:28} And when I would have known the cause
wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their
council: {23:29} Whom I perceived to be accused of
questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge
worthy of death or of bonds. {23:30} And when it was told
me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent
straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers
also to say before thee what [they had] against him.
Farewell. {23:31} Then the soldiers, as it was commanded
them, took Paul, and brought [him] by night to Antipatris.
{23:32} On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with
him, and returned to the castle: {23:33} Who, when they
came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor,
presented Paul also before him. {23:34} And when the
governor had read [the letter,] he asked of what province he
was. And when he understood that [he was] of Cilicia;

But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of
them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and
not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm
and loss. {27:22} And now I exhort you to be of good
cheer: for there shall be no loss of [any man’s] life among
you, but of the ship. {27:23} For there stood by me this
night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island. {27:27} But
when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up
and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed
that they drew near to some country; {27:28} And sounded,
and found [it] twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a

fathoms. {27:29} Then fearing lest we should have fallen

to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into
the sea, under colour as though they would have cast
anchors out of the foreship, {27:31} Paul said to the

ye cannot be saved. {27:32} Then the soldiers cut off the
ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. {27:33} And while the
day was coming on, Paul besought [them] all to take meat,
saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried
and continued fasting, having taken nothing. {27:34}
Wherefore I pray you to take [some] meat: for this is for
your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of
any of you. {27:35} And when he had thus spoken, he took
bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and
when he had broken [it,] he began to eat. {27:36} Then
were they all of good cheer, and they also took [some] meat.
{27:37} And we were in all in the ship two hundred
threescore and sixteen souls. {27:38} And when they had
eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the
wheat into the sea. {27:39} And when it was day, they

possible, to thrust in the ship. {27:40} And when they had
taken up the anchors, they committed [themselves] unto the
sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail
to the wind, and made toward shore. {27:41} And falling
into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground;
and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but
the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
{27:42} And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners,
lest any of them should swim out, and escape. {27:43} But
the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from [their]
purpose; and commanded that they which could swim
should cast [themselves] first [into the sea,] and get to land:
{27:44} And the rest, some on boards, and some on [broken
pieces] of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped
all safe to land.{28:1} And when they were escaped, then they knew

viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. {28:4} And
when the barbarians saw the [venomous] beast hang on his
hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a
murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet
vengeance suffereth not to live. {28:5} And he shook off
the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. {28:6} Howbeit
they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down
dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and
saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and
waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their
eyes have they closed; lest they should see with [their] eyes,
and hear with [their] ears, and understand with [their] heart,
and should be converted, and I should heal them. {28:28}
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is
sent unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear it. {28:29}

which he had afore prepared unto glory, {9:24} Even us,
whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the
Gentiles? {9:25} As he saith also in Osee, I will call them
my people, which were not my people; and her beloved,
which was not beloved. {9:26} And it shall come to pass,
[that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not
my people; there shall they be called the children of the
living God. {9:27} Esaias also crieth concerning Israel,
Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand
of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: {9:28} For he will
finish the work, and cut [it] short in righteousness: because
a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. {9:29} And
as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us
a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto
Gomorrha. {9:30} What shall we say then? That the
Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have
attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of
faith. {9:31} But Israel, which followed after the law of
righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
{9:32} Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith,
but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at
that stumblingstone; {9:33} As it is written, Behold, I lay in
Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever

sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked
not after me. {10:21} But to Israel he saith, All day long I

therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather,
that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in
[his] brother’s way. {14:14} I know, and am persuaded by
the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but
to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is]
unclean. {14:15} But if thy brother be grieved with [thy]
meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him
with thy meat, for whom Christ died. {14:16} Let not then
your good be evil spoken of: {14:17} For the kingdom of
God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace,
and joy in the Holy Ghost. {14:18} For he that in these
things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved
of men. {14:19} Let us therefore follow after the things
which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify
another. {14:20} For meat destroy not the work of God. All
things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who
eateth with offence. {14:21} [It is] good neither to eat flesh,
nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother
stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. {14:22} Hast
thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is] he
that condemneth not himself in that thing which he

lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: {15:21}
But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they
shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
{15:22} For which cause also I have been much hindered
from coming to you. {15:23} But now having no more
place in these parts, and having a great desire these many
years to come unto you; {15:24} Whensoever I take my
journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you
in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by
you, if first I be somewhat filled with your [company.

saints. {15:26} For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and
Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints
which are at Jerusalem. {15:27} It hath pleased them verily;
and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been
made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to
minister unto them in carnal things. {15:28} When therefore
I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I
will come by you into Spain. {15:29} And I am sure that,

things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
{7:33} But he that is married careth for the things that are
of the world, how he may please [his] wife. {7:34} There is
difference [also] between a wife and a virgin. The
unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she
may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is
married careth for the things of the world, how she may
please [her] husband. {7:35} And this I speak for your own
profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that
which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord
without distraction. {7:36} But if any man think that he

bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her
husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she
will; only in the Lord. {7:40} But she is happier if she so

{9:3} Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
{9:4} Have we not power to eat and to drink? {9:5} Have
we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other
apostles, and [as] the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
{9:6} Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear
working? {9:7} Who goeth a warfare any time at his own
charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit
thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk
of the flock? {9:8} Say I these things as a man? or saith not
the law the same also? {9:9} For it is written in the law of
Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that
treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? {9:10}
Or saith he [it] altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no
doubt, [this] is written: that he that ploweth should plow in
hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker
of his hope. {9:11} If we have sown unto you spiritual
things, [is it] a great thing if we shall reap your carnal
things? {9:12} If others be partakers of [this] power over
you, [are] not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this
power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel
of Christ. {9:13} Do ye not know that they which minister
about holy things live [of the things] of the temple? and
they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
{9:14} Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which
preach the gospel should live of the gospel. {9:15} But I
have used none of these things: neither have I written these
things, that it should be so done unto me: for [it were] better
for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying
void. {9:16} For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing
to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto
me, if I preach not the gospel! {9:17} For if I do this thing
willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a
dispensation [of the gospel] is committed unto me. {9:18}
What is my reward then? [Verily] that, when I preach the
gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that
I abuse not my power in the gospel. {9:19} For though I be
free from all [men,] yet have I made myself servant unto all,
that I might gain the more. {9:20} And unto the Jews I
became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are
under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that
are under the law; {9:21} To them that are without law, as
without law, (being not without law to God, but under the
law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
{9:22} To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the

sake, that I might be partaker thereof with [you. ]{9:24}
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one

every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all

we an incorruptible. {9:26} I therefore so run, not as
uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: {9:27}
But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection:

commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in

tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were
destroyed of serpents. {10:10} Neither murmur ye, as some
of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the
destroyer. {10:11} Now all these things happened unto
them for ensamples: and they are written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
{10:12} Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take
heed lest he fall. {10:13} There hath no temptation taken
you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful,

Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to
be more feeble, are necessary: {12:23} And those
[members] of the body, which we think to be less
honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour;
and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness.
{12:24} For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath
tempered the body together, having given more abundant
honour to that [part] which lacked: {12:25} That there
should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members
should have the same care one for another. {12:26} And
whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it;
or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
{12:27} Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in
particular. {12:28} And God hath set some in the church,
first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after
that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments,
diversities of tongues. {12:29} [Are] all apostles? [are] all
prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?

spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. {14:33}
For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in
all churches of the saints. {14:34} Let your women keep
silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to
speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as
also saith the law. {14:35} And if they will learn any thing,
let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for
women to speak in the church. {14:36} What? came the
word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
{14:37} If any man think himself to be a prophet, or
spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write
unto you are the commandments of the Lord. {14:38} But if
any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. {14:39}
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to

and in order.{15:1} Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gosp

even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and
all authority and power. {15:25} For he must reign, till he
hath put all enemies under his feet. {15:26} The last enemy
[that] shall be destroyed [is] death. {15:27} For he hath put
all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are
put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which did
put all things under him. {15:28} And when all things shall
be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be
subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may
be all in all. {15:29} Else what shall they do which are
baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are
they then baptized for the dead? {15:30} And why stand we

which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. {15:32}
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at
Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us
eat and drink; for to morrow we die. {15:33} Be not
deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
{15:34} Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have
us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. {15:58}

the love which I have more abundantly unto you. {2:5} But
if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part:
that I may not overcharge you all. {2:6} Sufficient to such a
man is this punishment, which [was inflicted] of many.
{2:7} So that contrariwise ye [ought] rather to forgive
[him,] and comfort [him,] lest perhaps such a one should be
swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. {2:8} Wherefore I
beseech you that ye would confirm [your] love toward him.
{2:9} For to this end also did I write, that I might know the
proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. {2:10}
To whom ye forgive any thing, I [forgive] also: for if I
forgave any thing, to whom I forgave [it,] for your sakes
[forgave I it] in the person of Christ; {2:11} Lest Satan
should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his
devices. {2:12} Furthermore, when I came to Troas to
[preach] Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of
the Lord, {2:13} I had no rest in my spirit, because I found
not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went
from thence into Macedonia. {2:14} Now thanks [be] unto
God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and
maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every
place. {2:15} For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ,
in them that are saved, and in them that perish: {2:16} To
the one [we are] the savour of death unto death; and to the
other the savour of life unto life. And who [is] sufficient for
these things? {2:17} For we are not as many, which corrupt
the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the

{5:14} For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we
thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
{5:15} And [that] he died for all, that they which live
should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him
which died for them, and rose again. {5:16} Wherefore
henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we
have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know
we [him] no more. {5:17} Therefore if any man [be] in
Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new. {5:18} And all things
[are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus

which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for

{10:1} Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness
and gentleness of Christ, who in presence [am] base among
you, but being absent am bold toward you: {10:2} But I
beseech [you,] that I may not be bold when I am present
with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against
some, which think of us as if we walked according to the
flesh. {10:3} For though we walk in the flesh, we do not
war after the flesh: {10:4} (For the weapons of our warfare
[are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling
down of strong holds;) {10:5} Casting down imaginations,
and every high thing that exalteth itself against the
knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every
thought to the obedience of Christ; {10:6} And having in a
readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience
is fulfilled. {10:7} Do ye look on things after the outward
appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s,
let him of himself think this again, that, as he [is] Christ’s,
even so [are] we Christ’s. {10:8} For though I should boast
somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given
us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not
be ashamed: {10:9} That I may not seem as if I would
terrify you by letters. {10:10} For [his] letters, say they,
[are] weighty and powerful; but [his] bodily presence [is]
weak, and [his] speech contemptible. {10:11} 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. {10:12} For we dare not make ourselves of the
number, or compare ourselves with some that commend
themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves,
and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
{10:13} But we will not boast of things without [our]
measure, but according to the measure of the rule which
God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto
you. {10:14} For we stretch not ourselves beyond [our
measure,] as though we reached not unto you: for we are
come as far as to you also in [preaching] the gospel of
Christ: {10:15} Not boasting of things without [our]
measure, [that is,] of other men’s labours; but having hope,
when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by
you according to our rule abundantly, {10:16} To preach
the gospel in the [regions] beyond you, [and] not to boast in
another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
{10:17} But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
{10:18} For not he that commendeth himself is approved,
As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this
boasting in the regions of Achaia. {11:11} Wherefore?
because I love you not? God knoweth. {11:12} But what I
do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them
which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be
found even as we. {11:13} For such [are] false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles
of Christ. {11:14} And no marvel; for Satan himself is
transformed into an angel of light. {11:15} Therefore [it is]
no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the
ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to
their works.{11:16} I say again, Let no man think me a fool; i

circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the
Gentiles:) {2:9} And when James, Cephas, and John, who
seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given
unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of
fellowship; that we [should go] unto the heathen, and they
unto the circumcision. {2:10} Only [they would] that we
should remember the poor; the same which I also was
forward to do. {2:11} But when Peter was come to Antioch,

likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried
away with their dissimulation. {2:14} But when I saw that
they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the
gospel, I said unto Peter before [them] all, If thou, being a
Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the

by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ,
even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be
justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the
law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
{2:17} But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we
ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Christ the
minister of sin? God forbid. {2:18} For if I build again the
things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
{2:19} For I through the law am dead to the law, that I
might live unto God. {2:20} I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the

the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles
through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of
the Spirit through faith. {3:15} Brethren, I speak after the
manner of men; Though [it be] but a man’s covenant, yet [if
it be] confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
{3:16} Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises
made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one,
And to thy seed, which is Christ. {3:17} And this I say,
[that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in
Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years
after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of
none effect. {3:18} For if the inheritance [be] of the law, [it
is] no more of promise: but God gave [it] to Abraham by
promise. {3:19} Wherefore then [serveth] the law? It was
added because of transgressions, till the seed should come
to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained by
angels in the hand of a mediator. {3:20} Now a mediator is
not [a mediator] of one, but God is one. {3:21} [Is] the law
then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there
had been a law given which could have given life, verily
righteousness should have been by the law. {3:22} But the
scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by

and not only when I am present with you. {4:19} My little

all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win

the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by
faith: {3:10} That I may know him, and the power of his
resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being
made conformable unto his death; {3:11} If by any means I
might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. {3:12} Not as
though I had already attained, either were already perfect:
but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which
also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. {3:13} Brethren, I
count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing
[I do,] forgetting those things which are behind, and
reaching forth unto those things which are before, {3:14} I
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of
God in Christ Jesus. {3:15} Let us therefore, as many as be
perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise
minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. {3:16}
Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk
by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. {3:17}
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them
which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. {3:18} (For
many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell
you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross
of Christ: {3:19} Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is
their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind
earthly things.) {3:20} For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus
Christ: {3:21} Who shall change our vile body, that it may
be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the
working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto

communicate with my affliction. {4:15} Now ye
Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel,
when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated
with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
{4:16} For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again
unto my necessity. {4:17} Not because I desire a gift: but I
desire fruit that may abound to your account. {4:18} But I
have all, and abound: I am full, having received of
Epaphroditus the things [which were sent] from you, an
odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing
to God. {4:19} But my God shall supply all your need

ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the
purifying of the flesh: {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? {9:15} And for this
cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means
of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that
were] under the first testament, they which are called might
receive the promise of eternal inheritance. {9:16} For where
a testament [is,] there must also of necessity be the death of
the testator. {9:17} For a testament [is] of force after men
are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the
testator liveth. {9:18} Whereupon neither the first
[testament] was dedicated without blood. {9:19} For when
Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according
to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with
water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the
book, and all the people, {9:20} Saying, This [is] the blood
of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. {9:21}
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and
all the vessels of the ministry. {9:22} And almost all things
are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of
blood is no remission. {9:23} [It was] therefore necessary
that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified
with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better
sacrifices than these. {9:24} For Christ is not entered into
the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of
the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the
presence of God for us: {9:25} Nor yet that he should offer
himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place
every year with blood of others; {9:26} For then must he
often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but
now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put
away sin by the sacrifice of himself. {9:27} And as it is
appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
{9:28} So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;

remembrance again [made] of sins every year. {10:4} For
[it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats
should take away sins. {10:5} Wherefore when he cometh
into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou
wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: {10:6} In
burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hast had no
pleasure. {10:7} Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of
the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. {10:8}
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt
offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest not, neither
hadst pleasure [therein;] which are offered by the law;
{10:9} Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He
taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
{10:10} By the which will we are sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all. ]{10:11}
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering
oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away
sins: {10:12} But this man, after he had offered one
sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of
God; {10:13} From henceforth expecting till his enemies be
made his footstool. {10:14} For by one offering he hath
perfected for ever them that are sanctified. {10:15}
[Whereof] the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after
that he had said before, {10:16} This [is] the covenant that I
will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will
put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write
them; {10:17} And their sins and iniquities will I remember
no more. {10:18} Now where remission of these [is, there
done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. {10:37}
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and
will not tarry. {10:38} Now the just shall live by faith: but if
[any man] draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in
him. {10:39} But we are not of them who draw back unto
perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.{11:1} Now

{2:8} If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: {2:9}
But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are
convinced of the law as transgressors. {2:10} For
whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one
[point,] he is guilty of all. {2:11} For he that said, Do not
commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit
no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor
of the law. {2:12} So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall
be judged by the law of liberty. {2:13} For he shall have
judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and
mercy rejoiceth against judgment. {2:14} What [doth it]

so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. {2:18}
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works:
shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee
my faith by my works. {2:19} Thou believest that there is
one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and

without works is dead? {2:21} Was not Abraham our father
justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon
the altar? {2:22} Seest thou how faith wrought with his
works, and by works was faith made perfect? {2:23} And
the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed
God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he

not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that
any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
{3:10} But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the
night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the
earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
{3:11} [Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be
dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all]
holy conversation and godliness, {3:12} Looking for and
hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the
heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements
shall melt with fervent heat? {3:13} Nevertheless we,
according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new
earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. {3:14} Wherefore,
beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that
ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and
blameless. {3:15} And account [that] the longsuffering of
our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul
also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written
unto you; {3:16} As also in all [his] epistles, 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, unto their own
destruction. {3:17} Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know
[these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away
with the error of the wicked, fall from your own
stedfastness. {3:18} But grow in grace, and [in] the
knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him

in their hands; {7:10} And cried with a loud voice, saying,

Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take [it,] and

beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. {13:12}
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before
him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to
worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
{13:13} And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire

{13:14} And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the
means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the
sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth,
that they should make an image to the beast, which had the
wound by a sword, and did live. {13:15} And he had power
to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would
not worship the image of the beast should be killed. {13:16}

number of his name. {13:18} Here is wisdom. Let him that

there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of
the wine of the wrath of her fornication. {14:9} And the
third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any
man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his]
mark in his forehead, or in his hand, {14:10} The same shall
drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall
be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the
holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: {14:11} And
the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever:
and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast
and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his
name. {14:12} Here is the patience of the saints: here [are]
