Genesis 21.0:

Genesis 21.1: 21Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken.

Genesis 21.2: 2 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

Genesis 21.3: 3 Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. 1

Genesis 21.4: 4 Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

Genesis 21.5: 5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.

Genesis 21.6: 6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”

Genesis 21.7: 7 She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”

Genesis 21.8: 8 The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

Genesis 21.9: 9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

Genesis 21.10: 10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”

Genesis 21.11: 11 The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.

Genesis 21.12: 12 God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.

Genesis 21.13: 13 I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”

Genesis 21.14: 14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

Genesis 21.15: 15 The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.

Genesis 21.16: 16 She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.

Genesis 21.17: 17 God heard the voice of the boy.

The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.

Genesis 21.18: 18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”

Genesis 21.19: 19 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.

Genesis 21.20: 20 God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, became an archer.

Genesis 21.21: 21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

Genesis 21.22: 22 At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.

Genesis 21.23: 23 Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”

Genesis 21.24: 24 Abraham said, “I will swear.”

Genesis 21.25: 25 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

Genesis 21.26: 26 Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”

Genesis 21.27: 27 Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.

Genesis 21.28: 28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

Genesis 21.29: 29 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”

Genesis 21.30: 30 He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”

Genesis 21.31: 31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba,2 because they both swore an oath there.

Genesis 21.32: 32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

Genesis 21.33: 33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.

Genesis 21.34: 34 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.

2 Samuel 23.0:

2 Samuel 23.1: 23Now these are the last words of David.

David the son of Jesse says,

the man who was raised on high says,

the anointed of the God of Jacob,

the sweet psalmist of Israel:

2 Samuel 23.2: 2 “Yahweh’s Spirit spoke by me.

His word was on my tongue.

2 Samuel 23.3: 3 The God of Israel said,

the Rock of Israel spoke to me,

‘One who rules over men righteously,

who rules in the fear of God,

2 Samuel 23.4: 4 shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises,

a morning without clouds,

when the tender grass springs out of the earth,

through clear shining after rain.’

2 Samuel 23.5: 5 Isn’t my house so with God?

Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant,

ordered in all things, and sure,

for it is all my salvation, and all my desire,

although he doesn’t make it grow.

2 Samuel 23.6: 6 But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away,

because they can’t be taken with the hand,

2 Samuel 23.7: 7 But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear.

They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”

2 Samuel 23.8: 8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was called Adino the Eznite, who killed eight hundred at one time.

2 Samuel 23.9: 9 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away.

2 Samuel 23.10: 10 He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and Yahweh worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.

2 Samuel 23.11: 11 After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.

2 Samuel 23.12: 12 But he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh worked a great victory.

2 Samuel 23.13: 13 Three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

2 Samuel 23.14: 14 David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

2 Samuel 23.15: 15 David longed, and said, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”

2 Samuel 23.16: 16 The three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David; but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yahweh.

2 Samuel 23.17: 17 He said, “Be it far from me, Yahweh, that I should do this! Isn’t this the blood of the men who risked their lives to go?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.

2 Samuel 23.18: 18 Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.

2 Samuel 23.19: 19 Wasn’t he most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he wasn’t included as one of the three.

2 Samuel 23.20: 20 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit in a time of snow.

2 Samuel 23.21: 21 He killed a huge Egyptian, and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.

2 Samuel 23.22: 22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.

2 Samuel 23.23: 23 He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.

2 Samuel 23.24: 24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty: Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

2 Samuel 23.25: 25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,

2 Samuel 23.26: 26 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

2 Samuel 23.32: 32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,

2 Samuel 23.33: 33 Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Ararite,

2 Chronicles 8.0:

2 Chronicles 8.1: 8At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built Yahweh’s house and his own house,

2 Chronicles 8.2: 2 Solomon built the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

2 Chronicles 8.3: 3 Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.

2 Chronicles 8.4: 4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath.

2 Chronicles 8.5: 5 Also he built Beth Horon the upper and Beth Horon the lower, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

2 Chronicles 8.6: 6 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

2 Chronicles 8.7: 7 As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel;

2 Chronicles 8.8: 8 of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel didn’t consume, of them Solomon conscripted forced labor to this day.

2 Chronicles 8.9: 9 But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

2 Chronicles 8.10: 10 These were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two-hundred fifty, who ruled over the people.

2 Chronicles 8.11: 11 Solomon brought up Pharaoh’s daughter out of David’s city to the house that he had built for her; for he said, “My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where Yahweh’s ark has come are holy.”

2 Chronicles 8.12: 12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on Yahweh’s altar, which he had built before the porch,

2 Chronicles 8.13: 13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times per year, during the feast of unleavened bread, during the feast of weeks, and during the feast of booths.1

2 Chronicles 8.14: 14 He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate, for David the man of God had so commanded.

2 Chronicles 8.15: 15 They didn’t depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.

2 Chronicles 8.16: 16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared from the day of the foundation of Yahweh’s house until it was finished. So Yahweh’s house was completed.

2 Chronicles 8.17: 17 Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom.

2 Chronicles 8.18: 18 Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and brought from there four hundred fifty talents2 of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.

Ecclesiastes 7.0:

Ecclesiastes 7.1: 7A good name is better than fine perfume; and the day of death better than the day of one’s birth.

Ecclesiastes 7.2: 2 It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; for that is the end of all men, and the living should take this to heart.

Ecclesiastes 7.3: 3 Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the face the heart is made good.

Ecclesiastes 7.4: 4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

Ecclesiastes 7.5: 5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the song of fools.

Ecclesiastes 7.6: 6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 7.7: 7 Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.

Ecclesiastes 7.8: 8 Better is the end of a thing than its beginning.

The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Ecclesiastes 7.9: 9 Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

Ecclesiastes 7.10: 10 Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not ask wisely about this.

Ecclesiastes 7.11: 11 Wisdom is as good as an inheritance. Yes, it is more excellent for those who see the sun.

Ecclesiastes 7.12: 12 For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

Ecclesiastes 7.13: 13 Consider the work of God, for who can make that straight, which he has made crooked?

Ecclesiastes 7.14: 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him.

Ecclesiastes 7.15: 15 All this I have seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evildoing.

Ecclesiastes 7.16: 16 Don’t be overly righteous, neither make yourself overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself?

Ecclesiastes 7.17: 17 Don’t be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time?

Ecclesiastes 7.18: 18 It is good that you should take hold of this. Yes, also don’t withdraw your hand from that; for he who fears God will come out of them all.

Ecclesiastes 7.19: 19 Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.

Ecclesiastes 7.20: 20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.

Ecclesiastes 7.21: 21 Also don’t take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you;

Ecclesiastes 7.22: 22 for often your own heart knows that you yourself have likewise cursed others.

Ecclesiastes 7.23: 23 All this I have proved in wisdom. I said, “I will be wise;” but it was far from me.

Ecclesiastes 7.24: 24 That which is, is far off and exceedingly deep. Who can find it out?

Ecclesiastes 7.25: 25 I turned around, and my heart sought to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity, and that foolishness is madness.

Ecclesiastes 7.26: 26 I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.

Ecclesiastes 7.27: 27 “Behold, I have found this,” says the Preacher, “to one another, to find out the scheme

Ecclesiastes 7.28: 28 which my soul still seeks, but I have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all those.

Ecclesiastes 7.29: 29 Behold, I have only found this: that God made man upright; but they search for many schemes.”

Ezekiel 19.0:

Ezekiel 19.1: 19“Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

Ezekiel 19.2: 2 and say,

‘What was your mother?

A lioness.

She couched among lions,

in the middle of the young lions she nourished her cubs.

Ezekiel 19.3: 3 She brought up one of her cubs.

He became a young lion.

He learned to catch the prey.

He devoured men.

Ezekiel 19.4: 4 The nations also heard of him.

He was taken in their pit;

and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.

Ezekiel 19.5: 5 “‘Now when she saw that she had waited,

and her hope was lost,

then she took another of her cubs,

and made him a young lion.

Ezekiel 19.6: 6 He went up and down among the lions.

He became a young lion.

He learned to catch the prey.

He devoured men.

Ezekiel 19.7: 7 He knew their palaces,

and laid waste their cities.

The land was desolate,

with its fullness,

because of the noise of his roaring.

Ezekiel 19.8: 8 Then the nations attacked him on every side from the provinces.

They spread their net over him.

He was taken in their pit.

Ezekiel 19.9: 9 They put him in a cage with hooks,

and brought him to the king of Babylon.

They brought him into strongholds,

so that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.

Ezekiel 19.10: 10 “‘Your mother was like a vine

in your blood,

planted by the waters.

It was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

Ezekiel 19.11: 11 It had strong branches for the scepters of those who ruled.

Their stature was exalted among the thick boughs.

They were seen in their height

with the multitude of their branches.

Ezekiel 19.12: 12 But it was plucked up in fury.

It was cast down to the ground,

and the east wind dried up its fruit.

Its strong branches were broken off and withered.

The fire consumed them.

Ezekiel 19.13: 13 Now it is planted in the wilderness,

in a dry and thirsty land.

Ezekiel 19.14: 14 Fire has gone out of its branches.

It has devoured its fruit,

so that there is in it no strong branch to be a scepter to rule.’

This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.”

Zechariah 12.0:

Zechariah 12.1: 12A revelation, Yahweh’s word concerning Israel. Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:

Zechariah 12.2: 2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and it will also be on Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.

Zechariah 12.3: 3 It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.

Zechariah 12.4: 4 In that day,” says Yahweh, “I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

Zechariah 12.5: 5 The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Yahweh of Armies their God.’

Zechariah 12.6: 6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.

Zechariah 12.7: 7 Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.

Zechariah 12.8: 8 In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like Yahweh’s angel before them.

Zechariah 12.9: 9 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Zechariah 12.10: 10 I will pour on David’s house, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me1 whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

Zechariah 12.11: 11 In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

Zechariah 12.12: 12 The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of David’s house apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

Zechariah 12.13: 13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;

Zechariah 12.14: 14 all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

John 16.0:

John 16.1: 16“I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.

John 16.2: 2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.

John 16.3: 3 They will do these things1 because they have not known the Father, nor me.

John 16.4: 4 But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

John 16.5: 5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’

John 16.6: 6 But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

John 16.7: 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

John 16.8: 8 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;

John 16.9: 9 about sin, because they don’t believe in me;

John 16.10: 10 about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;

John 16.11: 11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

John 16.12: 12 “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

John 16.13: 13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

John 16.14: 14 He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.

John 16.15: 15 All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes2 of mine and will declare it to you.

John 16.16: 16 A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”

John 16.17: 17 Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

John 16.18: 18 They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

John 16.19: 19 Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

John 16.20: 20 Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

John 16.21: 21 A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

John 16.22: 22 Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

John 16.23: 23 “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

John 16.24: 24 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

John 16.25: 25 I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

John 16.26: 26 In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

John 16.27: 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

John 16.28: 28 I came from the Father, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.”

John 16.29: 29 His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.

John 16.30: 30 Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”

John 16.31: 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?

John 16.32: 32 Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

John 16.33: 33 I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

2 Corinthians 13.0:

2 Corinthians 13.1: 13This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”a

2 Corinthians 13.2: 2 I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

2 Corinthians 13.3: 3 seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.

2 Corinthians 13.4: 4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

2 Corinthians 13.5: 5 Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
