So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

1 Chronicles 19.3: 3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”

1 Chronicles 19.5: 5 Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”

1 Chronicles 19.13: 13 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May Yahweh do that which seems good to him.”

1 Chronicles 22.7: 7 David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of Yahweh my God.

1 Chronicles 22.8: 8 But Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.

1 Chronicles 22.9: 9 Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.

1 Chronicles 22.10: 10 He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’

1 Chronicles 22.11: 11 Now, my son, may Yahweh be with you and prosper you, and build the house of Yahweh your God, as he has spoken concerning you.

1 Chronicles 22.12: 12 May Yahweh give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law of Yahweh your God.

1 Chronicles 22.13: 13 Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which Yahweh gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed.

1 Chronicles 22.14: 14 Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for Yahweh’s house one hundred thousand talents1 of gold, one million talents2 of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.

1 Chronicles 22.15: 15 There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work;

1 Chronicles 22.16: 16 of the gold, the silver, the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may Yahweh be with you.”

1 Chronicles 22.17: 17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

1 Chronicles 22.18: 18 “Isn’t Yahweh your God with you? Hasn’t he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Yahweh, and before his people.

1 Chronicles 22.19: 19 Now set your heart and your soul to follow Yahweh your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for Yahweh’s name.”

Isaiah 29.13: 13 The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;

Isaiah 29.14: 14 therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”

Isaiah 29.15: 15 Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”

Isaiah 29.16: 16 You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding?”

Isaiah 29.17: 17 Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?

Isaiah 29.18: 18 In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

Isaiah 29.19: 19 The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 29.20: 20 For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—

Isaiah 29.21: 21 who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.

Isaiah 29.22: 22 Therefore Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.

Isaiah 29.23: 23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

Isaiah 29.24: 24 They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”

Isaiah 32.0:

Isaiah 32.1: 32Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness,

and princes shall rule in justice.

Isaiah 32.2: 2 A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind,

and a covert from the storm,

as streams of water in a dry place,

as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.

Isaiah 32.3: 3 The eyes of those who see will not be dim,

and the ears of those who hear will listen.

Isaiah 32.4: 4 The heart of the rash will understand knowledge,

and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.

Isaiah 32.5: 5 The fool will no longer be called noble,

nor the scoundrel be highly respected.

Isaiah 32.6: 6 For the fool will speak folly,

and his heart will work iniquity,

to practice profanity,

and to utter error against Yahweh,

to make empty the soul of the hungry,

and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

Isaiah 32.7: 7 The ways of the scoundrel are evil.

He devises wicked plans to destroy the humble with lying words,

even when the needy speaks right.

Isaiah 32.8: 8 But the noble devises noble things;

and he will continue in noble things.

Isaiah 32.9: 9 Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice!

You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!

Isaiah 32.10: 10 For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women;

for the vintage will fail.

The harvest won’t come.

Isaiah 32.11: 11 Tremble, you women who are at ease!

Be troubled, you careless ones!

Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked,

and put sackcloth on your waist.

Isaiah 32.12: 12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,

for the fruitful vine.

Isaiah 32.13: 13 Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land;

yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.

Isaiah 32.14: 14 For the palace will be forsaken.

The populous city will be deserted.

The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever,

a delight for wild donkeys,

a pasture of flocks,

Isaiah 32.15: 15 until the Spirit is poured on us from on high,

and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,

and the fruitful field is considered a forest.

Isaiah 32.16: 16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness;

and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.

Isaiah 32.17: 17 The work of righteousness will be peace,

and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

Isaiah 32.18: 18 My people will live in a peaceful habitation,

in safe dwellings,

and in quiet resting places,

Isaiah 32.19: 19 though hail flattens the forest,

and the city is leveled completely.

Isaiah 32.20: 20 Blessed are you who sow beside all waters,

who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.

Isaiah 34.0:

Isaiah 34.1: 34Come near, you nations, to hear!

Listen, you peoples.

Let the earth and all it contains hear,

the world, and everything that comes from it.

Isaiah 34.2: 2 For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations,

and angry with all their armies.

He has utterly destroyed them.

He has given them over for slaughter.

Isaiah 34.3: 3 Their slain will also be cast out,

and the stench of their dead bodies will come up.

The mountains will melt in their blood.

Isaiah 34.4: 4 All of the army of the sky will be dissolved.

The sky will be rolled up like a scroll,

and all its armies will fade away,

as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.

Isaiah 34.5: 5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky.

Behold, it will come down on Edom,

and on the people of my curse, for judgment.

Isaiah 34.6: 6 Yahweh’s sword is filled with blood.

It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,

with the fat of the kidneys of rams;

for Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah,

And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

Isaiah 34.7: 7 The wild oxen will come down with them,

and the young bulls with the mighty bulls;

and their land will be drunken with blood,

and their dust made greasy with fat.

Isaiah 34.8: 8 For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,

a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

Isaiah 34.9: 9 Its streams will be turned into pitch,

its dust into sulfur,

And its land will become burning pitch.

Isaiah 34.10: 10 It won’t be quenched night nor day.

Its smoke will go up forever.

From generation to generation, it will lie waste.

No one will pass through it forever and ever.

Isaiah 34.11: 11 But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it.

The owl and the raven will dwell in it.

He will stretch the line of confusion over it,

and the plumb line of emptiness.

Isaiah 34.12: 12 They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there;

and all its princes shall be nothing.

Isaiah 34.13: 13 Thorns will come up in its palaces,

nettles and thistles in its fortresses;

and it will be a habitation of jackals,

a court for ostriches.

Isaiah 34.14: 14 The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves,

and the wild goat will cry to his fellow.

Yes, the night creature1 shall settle there,

and shall find herself a place of rest.

Isaiah 34.15: 15 The arrow snake will make her nest there,

and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade.

Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.

Isaiah 34.16: 16 Search in the book of Yahweh, and read:

not one of these will be missing.

None will lack her mate.

For my mouth has commanded,

and his Spirit has gathered them.

Isaiah 34.17: 17 He has cast the lot for them,

and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line.

They shall possess it forever.

From generation to generation they will dwell in it.

Habakkuk 3.0:

Habakkuk 3.1: 3A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.

Habakkuk 3.2: 2 Yahweh, I have heard of your fame.

I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh.

Renew your work in the middle of the years.

In the middle of the years make it known.

In wrath, you remember mercy.

Habakkuk 3.3: 3 God came from Teman,

the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah.

His glory covered the heavens,

and his praise filled the earth.

Habakkuk 3.4: 4 His splendor is like the sunrise.

Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.

Habakkuk 3.5: 5 Plague went before him,

and pestilence followed his feet.

Habakkuk 3.6: 6 He stood, and shook the earth.

He looked, and made the nations tremble.

The ancient mountains were crumbled.

The age-old hills collapsed.

His ways are eternal.

Habakkuk 3.7: 7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction.

The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.

Habakkuk 3.8: 8 Was Yahweh displeased with the rivers?

Was your anger against the rivers,

or your wrath against the sea,

that you rode on your horses,

on your chariots of salvation?

Habakkuk 3.9: 9 You uncovered your bow.

You called for your sworn arrows. Selah.

You split the earth with rivers.

Habakkuk 3.10: 10 The mountains saw you, and were afraid.

The storm of waters passed by.

The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.

Habakkuk 3.11: 11 The sun and moon stood still in the sky,

at the light of your arrows as they went,

at the shining of your glittering spear.

Habakkuk 3.12: 12 You marched through the land in wrath.

You threshed the nations in anger.

Habakkuk 3.13: 13 You went out for the salvation of your people,

for the salvation of your anointed.

You crushed the head of the land of wickedness.

You stripped them head to foot. Selah.

Habakkuk 3.14: 14 You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears.

They came as a whirlwind to scatter me,

gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.

Habakkuk 3.15: 15 You trampled the sea with your horses,

churning mighty waters.

Habakkuk 3.16: 16 I heard, and my body trembled.

My lips quivered at the voice.

Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place,

because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble,

for the coming up of the people who invade us.

Habakkuk 3.17: 17 For though the fig tree doesn’t flourish,

nor fruit be in the vines;

the labor of the olive fails,

the fields yield no food;

the flocks are cut off from the fold,

and there is no herd in the stalls:

Habakkuk 3.18: 18 yet I will rejoice in Yahweh.

I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

Habakkuk 3.19: 19 Yahweh, the Lord,1 is my strength.

He makes my feet like deer’s feet,

and enables me to go in high places.

For the music director, on my stringed instruments.

2 Timothy 2.0:

2 Timothy 2.1: 2You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 2.2: 2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

2 Timothy 2.3: 3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 2.4: 4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

2 Timothy 2.5: 5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.

2 Timothy 2.6: 6 The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.

2 Timothy 2.7: 7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

2 Timothy 2.8: 8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring1 of David, according to my Good News,

2 Timothy 2.9: 9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.

2 Timothy 2.10: 10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

2 Timothy 2.11: 11 This saying is trustworthy:

“For if we died with him,

we will also live with him.

2 Timothy 2.12: 12 If we endure,

we will also reign with him.

If we deny him,

he also will deny us.

2 Timothy 2.13: 13 If we are faithless,

he remains faithful;

for he can’t deny himself.”

2 Timothy 2.14: 14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they don’t argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

2 Timothy 2.15: 15 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

2 Timothy 2.16: 16 But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,

2 Timothy 2.17: 17 and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:

2 Timothy 2.18: 18 men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

2 Timothy 2.19: 19 However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,”a and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord2 depart from unrighteousness.”

2 Timothy 2.20: 20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.

2 Timothy 2.21: 21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.

2 Timothy 2.22: 22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

2 Timothy 2.23: 23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

2 Timothy 2.24: 24 The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,

2 Timothy 2.25: 25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

2 Timothy 2.26: 26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.

Daniel (Greek) 5.0:

Daniel (Greek) 5.1: 5Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

Daniel (Greek) 5.2: 2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded that the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem be brought to him; that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink from them.

Daniel (Greek) 5.3: 3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of God’s house which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.

Daniel (Greek) 5.4: 4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

Daniel (Greek) 5.5: 5 In the same hour, the fingers of a man’s hand came out and wrote near the lamp stand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace. The king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

Daniel (Greek) 5.6: 6 Then the king’s face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck one against another.

Daniel (Greek) 5.7: 7 The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”

Daniel (Greek) 5.8: 8 Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and couldn’t make known to the king the interpretation.

Daniel (Greek) 5.9: 9 Then king Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.

Daniel (Greek) 5.10: 10 The queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house. The queen spoke and said, “O king, live forever; don’t let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.

Daniel (Greek) 5.11: 11 There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. The king Nebuchadnezzar your father, yes, the king, your father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;

Daniel (Greek) 5.12: 12 because an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.”

Daniel (Greek) 5.13: 13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?

Daniel (Greek) 5.14: 14 I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light, understanding, and excellent wisdom are found in you.

Daniel (Greek) 5.15: 15 Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.

Daniel (Greek) 5.16: 16 But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations, and dissolve doubts. Now if you can read the writing, and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”

Daniel (Greek) 5.17: 17 Then Daniel answered before the king, “Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

Daniel (Greek) 5.18: 18 “You, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.

Daniel (Greek) 5.19: 19 Because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he wanted to, and he kept alive whom he wanted to. He raised up whom he wanted to, and he put down whom he wanted to.

Daniel (Greek) 5.20: 20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.

Daniel (Greek) 5.21: 21 He was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky; until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.

Daniel (Greek) 5.22: 22 “You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,

Daniel (Greek) 5.23: 23 but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.

Daniel (Greek) 5.24: 24 Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.

Daniel (Greek) 5.25: 25 “This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’

Daniel (Greek) 5.26: 26 “This is the interpretation of the thing:

MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.

Daniel (Greek) 5.27: 27 TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.

Daniel (Greek) 5.28: 28 PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”

Daniel (Greek) 5.29: 29 Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

Daniel (Greek) 5.30: 30 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.

Daniel (Greek) 5.31: 31 Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
