Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. Is not destruction to the
wicked? It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. He putteth his mouth
in the dust; if so be there may be hope. And every man went unto his
own house. For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an
abomination to my lips. Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so
doth the grave those which have sinned. Do ye indeed speak
righteousness, O congregation? Then said Saul to his servant, But,
behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? Then said he unto
them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise
his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and
buy one.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 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 live. I done?
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye
may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 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. For our
rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in
simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the
grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more
abundantly to you-ward. And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her
eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon
Jacob her younger son: And she put the skins of the kids of the
goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck: And she gave
the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the
hand of her son Jacob. And she said, The Philistines be upon thee,
Samson. So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that
is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a
destruction from the Almighty. And Samuel heard all the words of the
people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD. He divideth
the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through
the proud. And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the
houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall. And Jesus, when he
was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the
heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from
heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
How many are mine iniquities and sins? So he called every one of his
lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest
thou unto my lord? They make the king glad with their wickedness,
and the princes with their lies.
Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and
in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make
great, and to give strength unto all. Henceforth I call you not
servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I
have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my
Father I have made known unto you. And when the Syrians saw that
they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly
reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the
gleanings of thy harvest.
