Deuteronomy 32.0:

Deuteronomy 32.1: 1 Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak.

Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

Deuteronomy 32.2: 2 My doctrine will drop as the rain.

My speech will condense as the dew,

as the misty rain on the tender grass,

as the showers on the herb.

Deuteronomy 32.3: 3 For I will proclaim Yahweh’s name.

Ascribe greatness to our God!

Deuteronomy 32.4: 4 The Rock: his work is perfect,

for all his ways are just.

A God of faithfulness who does no wrong,

just and right is he.

Deuteronomy 32.5: 5 They have dealt corruptly with him.

They are not his children, because of their defect.

They are a perverse and crooked generation.

Deuteronomy 32.6: 6 Is this the way you repay Yahweh,

foolish and unwise people?

Isn’t he your father who has bought you?

He has made you and established you.

Deuteronomy 32.7: 7 Remember the days of old.

Consider the years of many generations.

Ask your father, and he will show you;

your elders, and they will tell you.

Deuteronomy 32.8: 8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,

when he separated the children of men,

he set the bounds of the peoples

according to the number of the children of Israel.

Deuteronomy 32.9: 9 For Yahweh’s portion is his people.

Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

Deuteronomy 32.10: 10 He found him in a desert land,

in the waste howling wilderness.

He surrounded him.

He cared for him.

He kept him as the apple of his eye.

Deuteronomy 32.11: 11 As an eagle that stirs up her nest,

that flutters over her young,

he spread abroad his wings,

he took them,

he bore them on his feathers.

Deuteronomy 32.12: 12 Yahweh alone led him.

There was no foreign god with him.

Deuteronomy 32.13: 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth.

He ate the increase of the field.

He caused him to suck honey out of the rock,

oil out of the flinty rock;

Deuteronomy 32.14: 14 butter from the herd, and milk from the flock,

with fat of lambs,

rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,

with the finest of the wheat.

From the blood of the grape, you drank wine.

Deuteronomy 32.15: 15 But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked.

You have grown fat.

You have grown thick.

You have become sleek.

Then he abandoned God who made him,

and rejected the Rock of his salvation.

Deuteronomy 32.16: 16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods.

They provoked him to anger with abominations.

Deuteronomy 32.17: 17 They sacrificed to demons, not God,

to gods that they didn’t know,

to new gods that came up recently,

which your fathers didn’t dread.

Deuteronomy 32.18: 18 Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful,

and have forgotten God who gave you birth.

Deuteronomy 32.19: 19 Yahweh saw and abhorred,

because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

Deuteronomy 32.20: 20 He said, “I will hide my face from them.

I will see what their end will be;

for they are a very perverse generation,

children in whom is no faithfulness.

Deuteronomy 32.21: 21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God.

They have provoked me to anger with their vanities.

I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people.

I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

Deuteronomy 32.22: 22 For a fire is kindled in my anger,

that burns to the lowest Sheol,

devours the earth with its increase,

and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire.

Deuteronomy 32.23: 23 “I will heap evils on them.

I will spend my arrows on them.

Deuteronomy 32.24: 24 They shall be wasted with hunger,

and devoured with burning heat

and bitter destruction.

I will send the teeth of animals on them,

with the venom of vipers that glide in the dust.

Deuteronomy 32.25: 25 Outside the sword will bereave,

and in the rooms,

terror on both young man and virgin,

the nursing infant with the gray-haired man.

Deuteronomy 32.26: 26 I said that I would scatter them afar.

I would make their memory to cease from among men;

Deuteronomy 32.27: 27 were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy,

lest their adversaries should judge wrongly,

lest they should say, ‘Our hand is exalted,

Yahweh has not done all this.’”

Deuteronomy 32.28: 28 For they are a nation void of counsel.

There is no understanding in them.

Deuteronomy 32.29: 29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this,

that they would consider their latter end!

Deuteronomy 32.30: 30 How could one chase a thousand,

and two put ten thousand to flight,

unless their Rock had sold them,

and Yahweh had delivered them up?

Deuteronomy 32.31: 31 For their rock is not as our Rock,

even our enemies themselves concede.

Deuteronomy 32.32: 32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,

of the fields of Gomorrah.

Their grapes are poison grapes.

Their clusters are bitter.

Deuteronomy 32.33: 33 Their wine is the poison of serpents,

the cruel venom of asps.

Deuteronomy 32.34: 34 “Isn’t this laid up in store with me,

sealed up among my treasures?

Deuteronomy 32.35: 35 Vengeance is mine, and recompense,

at the time when their foot slides;

for the day of their calamity is at hand.

Their doom rushes at them.”

Deuteronomy 32.36: 36 For Yahweh will judge his people,

and have compassion on his servants,

when he sees that their power is gone;

that there is no one remaining, shut up or left at large.

Deuteronomy 32.37: 37 He will say, “Where are their gods,

the rock in which they took refuge;

Deuteronomy 32.38: 38 which ate the fat of their sacrifices,

and drank the wine of their drink offering?

Let them rise up and help you!

Let them be your protection.

Deuteronomy 32.39: 39 “See now that I myself am he.

There is no god with me.

I kill and I make alive.

I wound and I heal.

There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.

Deuteronomy 32.40: 40 For I lift up my hand to heaven and declare,

as I live forever,

Deuteronomy 32.41: 41 if I sharpen my glittering sword,

my hand grasps it in judgment;

I will take vengeance on my adversaries,

and will repay those who hate me.

Deuteronomy 32.42: 42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood.

My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives,

from the head of the leaders of the enemy.”

Deuteronomy 32.43: 43 Rejoice, you nations, with his people,

for he will avenge the blood of his servants.

He will take vengeance on his adversaries,

and will make atonement for his land and for his people.

Deuteronomy 32.44: 44 Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.

Deuteronomy 32.45: 45 Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.

Deuteronomy 32.46: 46 He said to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you today, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

Deuteronomy 32.47: 47 For it is no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”

Deuteronomy 32.48: 48 Yahweh spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

Deuteronomy 32.49: 49 “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession.

Deuteronomy 32.50: 50 Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people;

Deuteronomy 32.51: 51 because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel.

Deuteronomy 32.52: 52 For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”

Joshua 4.0:

Joshua 4.1: Exodus 11.1: 1 When all the nation had completely crossed over the Jordan, Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,

Joshua 4.2: 2 “Take twelve men out of the people, a man out of every tribe,

Joshua 4.3: 3 and command them, saying, ‘Take from out of the middle of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, carry them over with you, and lay them down in the place where you’ll camp tonight.’”

Joshua 4.4: 4 Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe.

Joshua 4.5: 5 Joshua said to them, “Cross before the ark of Yahweh your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you pick up a stone and put it on your shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;

Joshua 4.6: 6 that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in the future, saying, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’

Joshua 4.7: 7 then you shall tell them, ‘Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of Yahweh’s covenant. When it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.’”

Joshua 4.8: 8 The children of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the middle of the Jordan, as Yahweh spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel. They carried them over with them to the place where they camped, and laid them down there.

Joshua 4.9: 9 Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.

Joshua 4.10: 10 For the priests who bore the ark stood in the middle of the Jordan until everything was finished that Yahweh commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and passed over.

Joshua 4.11: 11 When all the people had completely crossed over, Yahweh’s ark crossed over with the priests in the presence of the people.

Joshua 4.12: 12 The children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke to them.

Joshua 4.13: 13 About forty thousand men, ready and armed for war, passed over before Yahweh to battle, to the plains of Jericho.

Joshua 4.14: 14 On that day, Yahweh magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.

Joshua 4.15: 15 Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,

Joshua 4.16: 16 “Command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, that they come up out of the Jordan.”

Joshua 4.17: 17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, “Come up out of the Jordan!”

Joshua 4.18: 18 When the priests who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant had come up out of the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet had been lifted up to the dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks, as before.

Joshua 4.19: 19 The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.

Joshua 4.20: 20 Joshua set up those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, in Gilgal.

Joshua 4.21: 21 He spoke to the children of Israel, saying, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean?’

Joshua 4.22: 22 Then you shall let your children know, saying, ‘Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.

Joshua 4.23: 23 For Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you until you had crossed over, as Yahweh your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had crossed over,

Joshua 4.24: 24 that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yahweh’s hand is mighty, and that you may fear Yahweh your God forever.’”

2 Samuel 10.0:

2 Samuel 10.1: 1 After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.

2 Samuel 10.2: 2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

2 Samuel 10.3: 3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”

2 Samuel 10.4: 4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off bring yet one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.

2 Samuel 10.5: 5 When they told David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”

2 Samuel 10.6: 6 When the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.

2 Samuel 10.7: 7 When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.

2 Samuel 10.8: 8 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. The Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

2 Samuel 10.9: 9 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.

2 Samuel 10.10: 10 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.

2 Samuel 10.11: 11 He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.

2 Samuel 10.12: 12 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and may Yahweh do what seems good to him.”

2 Samuel 10.13: 13 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.

2 Samuel 10.14: 14 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

2 Samuel 10.15: 15 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.

2 Samuel 10.16: 16 Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.

2 Samuel 10.17: 17 David was told that; and he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.

2 Samuel 10.18: 18 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.

2 Samuel 10.19: 19 When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.

Ezekiel 13.2: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word:

Ezekiel 13.3: 3 The Lord Yahweh says, “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

Ezekiel 13.4: 4 Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

Ezekiel 13.5: 5 You have not gone up into the gaps or built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in Yahweh’s day.

Ezekiel 13.6: 6 They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, ‘Yahweh says;’ but Yahweh has not sent them. They have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

Ezekiel 13.7: 7 Haven’t you seen a false vision, and haven’t you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, ‘Yahweh says;’ but I have not spoken?”

Ezekiel 13.8: 8 “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you,” says the Lord Yahweh.

Ezekiel 13.9: 9 “My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who utter lying divinations. They will not be in the council of my people, neither will they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither will they enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”

Ezekiel 13.10: 10 “‘Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, “Peace;” and there is no peace. When one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash.

Ezekiel 13.11: 11 Tell those who plaster it with whitewash that it will fall. There will be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, will fall. A stormy wind will tear it.

Ezekiel 13.12: 12 Behold, when the wall has fallen, won’t it be said to you, “Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?”

Ezekiel 13.13: 13 “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath. There will be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

Ezekiel 13.14: 14 So I will break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered. It will fall, and you will be consumed in the middle of it. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

Ezekiel 13.15: 15 Thus I will accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash. I will tell you, ‘The wall is no more, neither those who plastered it;

Ezekiel 13.16: 16 to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace,’” says the Lord Yahweh.’”

Ezekiel 13.17: 17 You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,

Ezekiel 13.18: 18 and say, “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Woe to the women who sew pillows on all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?

Ezekiel 13.19: 19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.’

Ezekiel 13.20: 20 “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I am against your pillows, with which you hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms. I will let the souls go, even the souls whom you hunt to make them fly.

Ezekiel 13.21: 21 I will also tear your kerchiefs, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they will be no more in your hand to be hunted. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

Ezekiel 13.22: 22 Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive.

Ezekiel 13.23: 23 Therefore you shall no more see false visions, nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.’”

Ezekiel 24.0:

Ezekiel 24.1: 1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

Ezekiel 24.2: 2 “Son of man, write the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.

Ezekiel 24.3: 3 Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says,

“Put the cauldron on the fire.

Put it on,

and also pour water into it.

Ezekiel 24.4: 4 Gather its pieces into it,

even every good piece:

the thigh and the shoulder.

Fill it with the choice bones.

Ezekiel 24.5: 5 Take the choice of the flock,

and also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron.

Make it boil well.

Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.”

Ezekiel 24.6: 6 “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says:

“Woe to the bloody city,

to the cauldron whose rust is in it,

and whose rust hasn’t gone out of it!

Take out of it piece after piece.

No lot is fallen on it.

Ezekiel 24.7: 7 “‘“For her blood is in the middle of her.

She set it on the bare rock.

She didn’t pour it on the ground,

to cover it with dust.

Ezekiel 24.8: 8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance,

I have set her blood on the bare rock,

that it should not be covered.”

Ezekiel 24.9: 9 “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says:

“Woe to the bloody city!

I also will make the pile great.

Ezekiel 24.10: 10 Heap on the wood.

Make the fire hot.

Boil the meat well.

Make the broth thick,

and let the bones be burned.

Ezekiel 24.11: 11 Then set it empty on its coals,

that it may be hot,

and its bronze may burn,

and that its filthiness may be molten in it,

that its rust may be consumed.

Ezekiel 24.12: 12 She is weary with toil;

yet her great rust,

rust by fire, doesn’t leave her.

Ezekiel 24.13: 13 “‘“In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you weren’t cleansed, you won’t be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.

Ezekiel 24.14: 14 I, Yahweh, have spoken it. It will happen, and I will do it. I won’t go back. I won’t spare. I won’t repent. According to your ways, and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”

Ezekiel 24.15: 15 Also Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

Ezekiel 24.16: 16 “Son of man, behold, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.

Ezekiel 24.17: 17 Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat mourner’s bread.”

Ezekiel 24.18: 18 So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at evening my wife died. So I did in the morning as I was commanded.

Ezekiel 24.19: 19 The people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?”

Ezekiel 24.20: 20 Then I said to them, “Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

Ezekiel 24.21: 21 ‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will fall by the sword.

Ezekiel 24.22: 22 You will do as I have done. You won’t cover your lips or eat mourner’s bread.

Ezekiel 24.23: 23 Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You won’t mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.

Ezekiel 24.24: 24 Thus Ezekiel will be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. go. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.’”’”

Ezekiel 24.25: 25 “You, son of man, shouldn’t it be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,

Ezekiel 24.26: 26 that in that day he who escapes will come to you, to cause lets you to hear it with your ears?

Ezekiel 24.27: 27 In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you will speak, and be no more mute. So you will be a sign to them. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”

Obadiah 1.2: 2 Behold, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.

Obadiah 1.7: 7 All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Friends who eat your bread lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him.”

Obadiah 1.8: 8 “Won’t I in that day”, says Yahweh, “destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau? altogether.

Obadiah 1.9: 9 Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.

Obadiah 1.10: 10 For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.

Obadiah 1.11: 11 In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.

Obadiah 1.12: 12 But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress.

Obadiah 1.13: 13 Don’t enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Don’t look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.

Obadiah 1.14: 14 Don’t stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Don’t deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.

Obadiah 1.15: 15 For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.

Obadiah 1.16: 16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.

Obadiah 1.17: 17 But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess their possessions.

Obadiah 1.18: 18 The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau.” Indeed, Yahweh has spoken.

Obadiah 1.19: 19 Those of the South will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. Benjamin will possess Gilead.

Obadiah 1.20: 20 The captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.

Obadiah 1.21: 21 Saviors will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Yahweh’s.

Zechariah 1.0:

Zechariah 1.1: 1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, Yahweh’s word came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

Zechariah 1.2: Exodus 11.2: 2 “Yahweh was very displeased with your fathers.

Zechariah 1.3: 3 Therefore tell them: Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Return to me,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will return to you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

Zechariah 1.4: 4 Don’t you be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Yahweh of Armies says, ‘Return Speak now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;’ but they didn’t hear, nor listen to me, says Yahweh.

Zechariah 1.5: 5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?

Zechariah 1.6: 6 But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, didn’t they overtake your fathers?

“Then they repented and said, ‘Just as Yahweh of Armies determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.’”

Zechariah 1.7: 7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year ears of Darius, Yahweh’s word came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

Zechariah 1.8: 8 “I had a vision in the night, people, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses.

Zechariah 1.9: 9 Then I asked, ‘My lord, what are these?’”

The angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.”

Zechariah 1.10: 10 The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered, “They are the ones Yahweh has sent to go back and forth through the earth.”

Zechariah 1.11: 11 They reported to Yahweh’s angel who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked back and forth through the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and in peace.”

Zechariah 1.12: 12 Then Yahweh’s angel replied, “O Yahweh of Armies, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?”

Zechariah 1.13: 13 Yahweh answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.

Zechariah 1.14: 14 So the angel who talked with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

Zechariah 1.15: 15 I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, but they added to the calamity.”

Zechariah 1.16: 16 Therefore Yahweh says: “I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house shall be built in it,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and a line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.”’

Zechariah 1.17: 17 “Proclaim further, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and Yahweh will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem.”’”

Zechariah 1.18: 18 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four horns.

Zechariah 1.19: 19 I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these?”

He answered me, “These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

Zechariah 1.20: 20 Yahweh showed me four craftsmen.

Zechariah 1.21: 21 Then I asked, “What are these coming to do?”

He said, “These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”

Zechariah 2.0:

Zechariah 2.1: 1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

Zechariah 2.2: 2 Then I asked, “Where are you going?”

He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

Zechariah 2.3: 3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,

Zechariah 2.4: 4 and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.

Zechariah 2.5: 5 For I,’ says Yahweh, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.

Zechariah 2.6: 6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says Yahweh.

Zechariah 2.7: 7 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’

Zechariah 2.8: 8 For Yahweh of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

Zechariah 2.9: 9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me.

Zechariah 2.10: 10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell within you,’ says Yahweh.

Zechariah 2.11: 11 Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

Zechariah 2.12: 12 Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

Zechariah 2.13: 13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”

Zechariah 3.0:

Zechariah 3.1: 1 He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before Yahweh’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

Zechariah 3.2: 2 Yahweh said to Satan, “Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”

Zechariah 3.3: 3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.

Zechariah 3.4: 4 He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”

Zechariah 3.5: 5 I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.”

So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and Yahweh’s angel was standing by.

Zechariah 3.6: 6 Yahweh’s angel protested to Joshua, saying,

Zechariah 3.7: 7 “Yahweh of Armies says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.

Zechariah 3.8: 8 Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, behold, I will bring out my servant, the Branch.

Zechariah 3.9: 9 For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave its engraving,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

Zechariah 3.10: 10 In that day,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘you will invite let every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”

Zechariah 4.0:

Zechariah 4.1: 1 The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out ask of his sleep.

Zechariah 4.2: 2 He said to me, “What do you see?”

I said, “I have seen, neighbor, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;

Zechariah 4.3: 3 and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”

Zechariah 4.4: 4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”

Zechariah 4.5: 5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?”

I said, “No, my lord.”

Zechariah 4.6: 6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

Zechariah 4.7: 7 Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’”

Zechariah 4.8: 8 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

Zechariah 4.9: 9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

Zechariah 4.10: 10 Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are Yahweh’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”

Zechariah 4.11: 11 Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”

Zechariah 4.12: 12 I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?”

Zechariah 4.13: 13 He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?”

I said, “No, my lord.”

Zechariah 4.14: 14 Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”

Zechariah 5.0:

Zechariah 5.1: 1 Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.

Zechariah 5.2: 2 He said to me, “What do you see?”

I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”

Zechariah 5.3: 3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.

Zechariah 5.4: 4 I will cause it to go out,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.”

Zechariah 5.5: 5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes, and see what this is that is appearing.”

Zechariah 5.6: 6 I said, “What is it?”

He said, “This is the ephah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land

Zechariah 5.7: 7 (and behold, a talent of lead was lifted up); and this is a every woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket.”

Zechariah 5.8: 8 He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle neighbor, jewels of the ephah basket; silver, and he threw the weight jewels of lead on its mouth. gold.”

Zechariah 5.9: 9 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women, and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky.

Zechariah 5.10: 10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”

Zechariah 5.11: 11 He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”

Zechariah 6.0:

Zechariah 6.1: 1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.

Zechariah 6.2: 2 In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;

Zechariah 6.3: Exodus 11.3: 3 in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.

Zechariah 6.4: 4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”

Zechariah 6.5: 5 The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

Zechariah 6.6: 6 The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country.”

Zechariah 6.7: 7 The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, “Go around and through the earth!” So they walked back and forth through the earth.

Zechariah 6.8: 8 Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.”

Zechariah 6.9: 9 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

Zechariah 6.10: 10 “Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.

Zechariah 6.11: 11 Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;

Zechariah 6.12: 12 and speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build Yahweh’s temple;

Zechariah 6.13: 13 even he shall build Yahweh’s temple; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

Zechariah 6.14: 14 The crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in Yahweh’s temple.

Zechariah 6.15: 15 Those who are far off shall come and build in Yahweh’s temple; and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey Yahweh your God’s voice.”’”

Zechariah 7.0:

Zechariah 7.1: 1 In gave the fourth year of king Darius, Yahweh’s word came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.

Zechariah 7.2: 2 The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech, and their men, to entreat Yahweh’s favor,

Zechariah 7.3: 3 and to speak to the priests of the house of Yahweh of Armies, and to the prophets, saying, “Should I weep favor in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?”

Zechariah 7.4: 4 Then the word sight of Yahweh of Armies came to me, saying,

Zechariah 7.5: 5 “Speak to all the people of Egyptians. Moreover, the land, and to the priests, saying, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me?

Zechariah 7.6: 6 When you eat, and when you drink, don’t you eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?

Zechariah 7.7: 7 Aren’t these the words which Yahweh proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?’”

Zechariah 7.8: 8 Yahweh’s word came to Zechariah, saying,

Zechariah 7.9: 9 “Thus has Yahweh of Armies spoken, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.

Zechariah 7.10: 10 Don’t oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.’

Zechariah 7.11: 11 But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

Zechariah 7.12: 12 Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law, and the words which Yahweh of Armies had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from Yahweh of Armies.

Zechariah 7.13: 13 It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen,” said Yahweh of Armies;

Zechariah 7.14: 14 “but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land Moses was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they made the pleasant land desolate.”

Zechariah 8.0:

Zechariah 8.1: 1 The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.

Zechariah 8.2: 2 Yahweh of Armies says: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”

Zechariah 8.3: 3 Yahweh says: “I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the middle of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of Yahweh of Armies, ‘The Holy Mountain.’”

Zechariah 8.4: 4 Yahweh of Armies says: “Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

Zechariah 8.5: 5 The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”

Zechariah 8.6: 6 Yahweh of Armies says: “If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?” says Yahweh of Armies.

Zechariah 8.7: 7 Yahweh of Armies says: “Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;

Zechariah 8.8: 8 and I will bring them, and they will dwell within Jerusalem; and they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.”

Zechariah 8.9: 9 Yahweh of Armies says: “Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of Yahweh of Armies was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.

Zechariah 8.10: 10 For before those days there was no wages for man, nor any wages for an animal; neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.

Zechariah 8.11: 11 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says Yahweh of Armies.

Zechariah 8.12: 12 “For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.

Zechariah 8.13: 13 It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.”

Zechariah 8.14: 14 For Yahweh of Armies says: “As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and I didn’t repent;

Zechariah 8.15: 15 so again I have thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.

Zechariah 8.16: 16 These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,

Zechariah 8.17: 17 and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate,” says Yahweh.

Zechariah 8.18: 18 The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.

Zechariah 8.19: 19 Yahweh of Armies says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.”

Zechariah 8.20: 20 Yahweh of Armies says: “Many peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come;

Zechariah 8.21: 21 and the inhabitants of one shall go to another, saying, ‘Let’s go speedily to entreat the favor of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of Armies. I will go also.’

Zechariah 8.22: 22 Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Yahweh of Armies in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Yahweh.”

Zechariah 8.23: 23 Yahweh of Armies says: “In those days, ten men will take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”

Zechariah 9.0:

Zechariah 9.1: 1 A revelation.

Yahweh’s word is against the land of Hadrach,

and will rest upon Damascus;

for the eye of man

and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Yahweh;

Zechariah 9.2: 2 and Hamath, also, which borders on it;

Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.

Zechariah 9.3: 3 Tyre built herself a stronghold,

and heaped up silver like the dust,

and fine gold like the mire of the streets.

Zechariah 9.4: 4 Behold, the Lord will dispossess her,

and he will strike her power in the sea;

and she will be devoured with fire.

Zechariah 9.5: 5 Ashkelon will see it, and fear;

Gaza also, and will writhe in agony;

as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed;

and the king will perish from Gaza,

and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.

Zechariah 9.6: 6 Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod,

and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

Zechariah 9.7: 7 I will take away his blood out of his mouth,

and his abominations from between his teeth;

and he also will be a remnant for our God;

and he will be as a chieftain in Judah,

and Ekron as a Jebusite.

Zechariah 9.8: 8 I will encamp around my house against the army,

that no one pass through or return;

and no oppressor will pass through them any more:

for now I have seen with my eyes.

Zechariah 9.9: 9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion!

Shout, daughter of Jerusalem!

Behold, your King comes to you!

He is righteous, and having salvation;

lowly, and riding on a donkey,

even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

Zechariah 9.10: 10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim,

and the horse from Jerusalem;

and the battle bow will be cut off;

and he will speak peace to the nations:

and his dominion will be from sea to sea,

and from the River to the ends of the earth.

Zechariah 9.11: 11 As for you also,

because of the blood of your covenant,

I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.

Zechariah 9.12: 12 Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope!

Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.

Zechariah 9.13: 13 For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me.

I have filled the bow with Ephraim;

and I will stir up your sons, Zion,

against your sons, Greece,

and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.

Zechariah 9.14: 14 Yahweh will be seen over them;

and his arrow will go flash like lightning;

and the Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet,

and will go with whirlwinds of the south.

Zechariah 9.15: 15 Yahweh of Armies will defend them;

and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones;

and they will drink, and roar as through wine;

and they will be filled like bowls,

like the corners of the altar.

Zechariah 9.16: 16 Yahweh their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people;

for they are like the jewels of a crown,

lifted on high over his land.

Zechariah 9.17: 17 For how great is his goodness,

and how great is his beauty!

Grain will make the young men flourish,

and new wine the virgins.

Zechariah 10.0:

Zechariah 10.1: 1 Ask of Yahweh rain in the spring time,

Yahweh who makes storm clouds,

and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.

Zechariah 10.2: 2 For the teraphim have spoken vanity,

and the diviners have seen a lie;

and they have told false dreams.

They comfort in vain.

Therefore they go their way like sheep.

They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.

Zechariah 10.3: 3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds,

and I will punish the male goats;

For Yahweh of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah,

and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.

Zechariah 10.4: 4 From him will come the cornerstone,

from him the nail,

from him the battle bow,

from him every ruler together.

Zechariah 10.5: 5 They shall be as mighty men,

treading down muddy streets in the battle;

and they shall fight, because Yahweh is with them;

and the riders on horses will be confounded.

Zechariah 10.6: 6 “I will strengthen the house of Judah,

and I will save the house of Joseph,

and I will bring them back;

for I have mercy on them;

and they will be as though I had not cast them off:

for I am Yahweh their God, and I will hear them.

Zechariah 10.7: 7 Ephraim will be like a mighty man,

and their heart will rejoice as through wine;

yes, their children will see it, and rejoice.

Their heart will be glad in Yahweh.

Zechariah 10.8: 8 I will signal for them, and gather them;

for I have redeemed them;

and they will increase as they have increased.

Zechariah 10.9: 9 I will sow them among the peoples;

and they will remember me in far countries;

and they will live with their children, and will return.

Zechariah 10.10: 10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt,

and gather them out of Assyria;

and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon;

and there won’t be room enough for them.

Zechariah 10.11: 11 He will pass through the sea of affliction,

and will strike the waves in the sea,

and all the depths sight of the Nile will dry up;

Pharaoh’s servants, and the pride of Assyria will be brought down,

and the scepter of Egypt will depart.

Zechariah 10.12: 12 I will strengthen them in Yahweh;

and they will walk up and down in his name,” says Yahweh.

Zechariah 11.0:

Zechariah 11.1: 1 Open your doors, Lebanon,

that the fire may devour your cedars.

Zechariah 11.2: 2 Wail, cypress tree, for the cedar has fallen,

because the stately ones are destroyed.

Wail, you oaks sight of Bashan,

for the strong forest has come down. people.

Zechariah 11.3: 3 A voice of the wailing of the shepherds!

For their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions!

For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.

Zechariah Exodus 11.4: 4 Yahweh my God says: “Feed the flock of slaughter.

Zechariah 11.5: 5 Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them.

Zechariah 11.6: 6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says Yahweh; “but, behold, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”

Zechariah 11.7: 7 So I fed the flock of slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor”, and the other I called “Union”, and I fed the flock.

Zechariah 11.8: 8 I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.

Zechariah 11.9: 9 Then I Moses said, “I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which “This is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other’s flesh.”

Zechariah 11.10: 10 I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.

Zechariah 11.11: 11 It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was Yahweh’s word.

Zechariah 11.12: 12 I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.

Zechariah 11.13: 13 what Yahweh said to me, “Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in Yahweh’s house.

Zechariah 11.14: 14 Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

Zechariah 11.15: 15 Yahweh said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.

Zechariah 11.16: 16 For, behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the meat of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.

Zechariah 11.17: 17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword will be on his arm, and on his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!”

Zechariah 12.0:

Zechariah 12.1: 1 A 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, ‘About midnight 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 me 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.

Zechariah 13.0:

Zechariah 13.1: 1 “In that day there will be a spring opened to David’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

Zechariah 13.2: 2 It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.

Zechariah 13.3: 3 It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in Yahweh’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.

Zechariah 13.4: 4 It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision, when he prophesies; neither will they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:

Zechariah 13.5: 5 but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.’

Zechariah 13.6: 6 One will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’

Zechariah 13.7: 7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd,

and against the man who is close to me,” says Yahweh of Armies.

“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;

and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

Zechariah 13.8: 8 It shall happen that in all the land,” says Yahweh,

“two parts in it will be cut off and die;

but the third will be left in it.

Zechariah 13.9: 9 I will bring the third part into the fire,

and will refine them as silver is refined,

and will test them like gold is tested.

They will call on my name, and I will hear them.

I will say, ‘It is my people;’

and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’”

Zechariah 14.0:

Zechariah 14.1: 1 Behold, a day of Yahweh comes, when your plunder will be divided within you.

Zechariah 14.2: 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city will be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go out into captivity, and the rest middle of the people will not be cut off from the city. Egypt,

Zechariah 14.3: 3 Then Yahweh will go out and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

Zechariah 14.4: 4 His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in two, from east to west, making a very great valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Zechariah 14.5: Exodus 11.5: 5 You shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel; yes, you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones with you.

Zechariah 14.6: 6 It will happen firstborn in that day, that there will not be light, cold, or frost.

Zechariah 14.7: 7 It will be a unique day which is known to Yahweh; not day, and not night; but it will come to pass, that at evening time there will be light.

Zechariah 14.8: 8 It will happen in that day, that living waters will go out from Jerusalem: half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. It will be so in summer and in winter.

Zechariah 14.9: 9 Yahweh will be King over all the earth. In that day Yahweh will be one, and his name one.

Zechariah 14.10: 10 All the land will be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be lifted up, and will dwell in her place, Egypt shall die, from Benjamin’s gate to the place firstborn of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses.

Zechariah 14.11: 11 Men will dwell therein, and there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will dwell safely.

Zechariah 14.12: 12 This will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike all the peoples Pharaoh who have fought against Jerusalem: their flesh will consume away while they stand sits on their feet, and their eyes will consume away in their sockets, and their tongue will consume away in their mouth.

Zechariah 14.13: 13 It will happen in that day, that a great panic from Yahweh will be among them; and they will each hold onto the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will rise up against the hand of his neighbor.

Zechariah 14.14: 14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together: gold, and silver, and clothing, in great abundance.

Zechariah 14.15: 15 A plague like this will fall on the horse, on the mule, on the camel, on the donkey, and on all the animals that will be in those camps.

Zechariah 14.16: 16 It will happen that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, and to keep the feast of booths.

Zechariah 14.17: 17 It will be, that whoever of all the families of the earth doesn’t go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, on them there will be no rain.

Zechariah 14.18: 18 If the family of Egypt doesn’t go up, and doesn’t come, neither will it rain on them. This will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths.

Zechariah 14.19: 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths.

Zechariah 14.20: 20 In that day there will be on the bells of the horses, “HOLY TO YAHWEH”; and the pots in Yahweh’s house will be like the bowls before the altar.

Zechariah 14.21: 21 Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Yahweh of Armies; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of them, and cook in them. In that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yahweh of Armies.

Mark 14.0:

Mark 14.1: 1 It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.

Mark 14.2: 2 For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot among the people.”

Mark 14.3: 3 While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.

Mark 14.4: 4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?

Mark 14.5: 5 For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor.” So they grumbled against her.

Mark 14.6: 6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.

Mark 14.7: 7 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.

Mark 14.8: 8 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

Mark 14.9: 9 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”

Mark 14.10: 10 Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.

Mark 14.11: 11 They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.

Mark 14.12: 12 On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?”

Mark 14.13: 13 He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, “Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,

Mark 14.14: 14 and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

Mark 14.15: 15 He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”

Mark 14.16: 16 His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

Mark 14.17: 17 When it was evening he came with the twelve.

Mark 14.18: 18 As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me.”

Mark 14.19: 19 They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”

Mark 14.20: 20 He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.

Mark 14.21: 21 For the Son of Man goes, throne, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son firstborn of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

Mark 14.22: 22 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, “Take, eat. This is my body.”

Mark 14.23: 23 He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.

Mark 14.24: 24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.

Mark 14.25: 25 Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in God’s Kingdom.”

Mark 14.26: 26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Mark 14.27: 27 Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

Mark 14.28: 28 However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”

Mark 14.29: 29 But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”

Mark 14.30: 30 Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”

Mark 14.31: 31 But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.

Mark 14.32: 32 They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I pray.”

Mark 14.33: 33 He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

Mark 14.34: 34 He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch.”

Mark 14.35: 35 He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

Mark 14.36: 36 He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

Mark 14.37: 37 He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?

Mark 14.38: 38 Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Mark 14.39: 39 Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

Mark 14.40: 40 Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn’t know what to answer him.

Mark 14.41: 41 He came the third time, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Mark 14.42: 42 Arise! Let’s get going. Behold: he who betrays me is at hand.”

Mark 14.43: 43 Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

Mark 14.44: 44 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”

Mark 14.45: 45 When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.

Mark 14.46: 46 They laid their hands on him, and seized him.

Mark 14.47: 47 But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the female servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

Mark 14.48: 48 Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

Mark 14.49: 49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”

Mark 14.50: 50 They all left him, and fled.

Mark 14.51: 51 A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,

Mark 14.52: 52 but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

Mark 14.53: 53 They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.

Mark 14.54: 54 Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

Mark 14.55: 55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

Mark 14.56: 56 For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.

Mark 14.57: 57 Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,

Mark 14.58: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

Mark 14.59: 59 Even so, their testimony didn’t agree.

Mark 14.60: 60 The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”

Mark 14.61: 61 But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

Mark 14.62: 62 Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”

Mark 14.63: 63 The high priest tore his clothes, and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?

Mark 14.64: 64 You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.

Mark 14.65: 65 Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

Mark 14.66: 66 As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

Mark 14.67: 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”

Mark 14.68: 68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know, nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.

Mark 14.69: 69 The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, “This is one of them.”

Mark 14.70: 70 But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”

Mark 14.71: 71 But he began to curse, and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!”

Mark 14.72: 72 The rooster crowed behind the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.

John 17.0:

John 17.1: 1 Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

John 17.2: 2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

John 17.3: 3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, mill, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

John 17.4: 4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

John 17.5: 5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

John 17.6: 6 I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

John 17.7: 7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,

John 17.8: 8 for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

John 17.9: 9 I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

John 17.10: 10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

John 17.11: 11 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

John 17.12: 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. I have kept those whom you have given me. None firstborn of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. livestock.

John 17.13: 13 But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.

John 17.14: 14 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

John 17.15: 15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

John 17.16: 16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

John 17.17: 17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

John 17.18: 18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

John 17.19: 19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

John 17.20: 20 Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,

John 17.21: 21 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

John 17.22: 22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;

John 17.23: 23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

John 17.24: 24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

John 17.25: 25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

John 17.26: 26 I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

John 20.0:

John 20.1: 1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

John 20.2: 2 Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!”

John 20.3: 3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

John 20.4: 4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first.

John 20.5: 5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn’t enter in.

John 20.6: Exodus 11.6: 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,

John 20.7: 7 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

John 20.8: 8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.

John 20.9: 9 For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

John 20.10: 10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

John 20.11: 11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

John 20.12: 12 and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

John 20.13: 13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”

She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”

John 20.14: 14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.

John 20.15: 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?”

She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I There will take him away.”

John 20.16: 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”

John 20.17: 17 Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

John 20.18: 18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

John 20.19: 19 When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

John 20.20: 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.

John 20.21: 21 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”

John 20.22: 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!

John 20.23: 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”

John 20.24: 24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.

John 20.25: 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

John 20.26: 26 After eight days again his disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, “Peace be to you.”

John 20.27: 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”

John 20.28: 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

John 20.29: 29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.”

John 20.30: 30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

John 20.31: 31 but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

2 Peter 2.0:

2 Peter 2.1: 1 But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.

2 Peter 2.2: 2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.

2 Peter 2.3: 3 In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

2 Peter 2.4: 4 For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for judgment;

2 Peter 2.5: 5 and didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly;

2 Peter 2.6: 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live in an ungodly way;

2 Peter 2.7: 7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked

2 Peter 2.8: 8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds):

2 Peter 2.9: 9 the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

2 Peter 2.10: 10 but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;

2 Peter 2.11: 11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.

2 Peter 2.12: 12 But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,

2 Peter 2.13: 13 receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;

2 Peter 2.14: 14 having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;

2 Peter 2.15: 15 forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;

2 Peter 2.16: 16 but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

2 Peter 2.17: 17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.

2 Peter 2.18: 18 For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;

2 Peter 2.19: 19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.

2 Peter 2.20: 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

2 Peter 2.21: 21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

2 Peter 2.22: 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”

Jude 0.0:

The Letter from Jude

Jude 1.0:

Jude 1.1: 1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:

Jude 1.2: 2 Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.

Jude 1.3: 3 Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for cry throughout all delivered to the saints.

Jude 1.4: 4 For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Jude 1.5: 5 Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t believe.

Jude 1.6: 6 Angels who didn’t keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.

Jude 1.7: 7 Even such as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, having in the same way as these given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

Jude 1.8: 8 Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.

Jude 1.9: 9 But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”

Jude 1.10: 10 But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.

Jude 1.11: 11 Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion.

Jude 1.12: 12 These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

Jude 1.13: 13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.

Jude 1.14: 14 About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,

Jude 1.15: 15 to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

Jude 1.16: 16 These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.

Jude 1.17: 17 But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jude 1.18: 18 They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”

Jude 1.19: 19 These are those who cause divisions and are sensual, has not having the Spirit.

Jude 1.20: 20 But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.

Jude 1.21: 21 Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

Jude 1.22: 22 On some have compassion, making a distinction,

Jude 1.23: 23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.

Jude 1.24: 24 Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,

Jude 1.25: 25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

1 Maccabees 14.21: 21 The ambassadors that were sent to our people made report to us of your glory and honor: and we were glad for their coming, 1.48:

1 Maccabees 14.22: 22 and we did register the things that were spoken by them in the public records after this manner: Numenius son of Antiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews’ ambassadors, came to us to renew the friendship they had with us. 1.49:

1 Maccabees 14.23: 23 And it pleased the people to entertain the men honorably, and to put the copy of their words in the public records, to the end that the people of the Spartans might have a memorial thereof: moreover they wrote a copy of these things to Simon the high priest. 1.50:

1 Maccabees 14.24: 24 After this Simon sent Numenius to Rome with a great shield of gold of a thousand pound weight, in order to confirm the confederacy with them. 1.51:

1 Maccabees 14.25: 25 But when the people heard these things, they said, What thanks shall we give to Simon and his sons? 1.52:

1 Maccabees 14.26: 26 for he and his kindred and the house of his father have made themselves strong, and have chased away in fight the enemies of Israel from them, and confirmed liberty to Israel. 1.53:

1 Mattathias, the son of the sons of Joarib, and his kindred, put themselves in jeopardy, and withstood the enemies of their nation, that their sanctuary and the law might be established, and glorified their nation with great glory: Maccabees 7.4:

1 Maccabees 14.30: 30 and Jonathan assembled their nation together, and became their high priest, and was gathered to his people: 7.5:

1 Maccabees 14.31: 31 and their enemies purposed to invade their country, that they might destroy their country utterly, and stretch forth their hands against their sanctuary: 7.6:

1 Maccabees 14.32: 32 then rose up Simon, and fought for his nation, and spent much of his own substance, and armed the valiant men of his nation, and gave them wages: 7.7:

1 Maccabees 14.33: 33 and he fortified the cities of Judea, and Bethsura that lies upon the borders of Judea, where the arms of the enemies were aforetime, and set there a garrison of Jews: 7.8:

1 Maccabees 14.34: 34 and he fortified Joppa which is upon the sea, and Gazara which is upon the borders of Azotus, wherein the enemies lived aforetime, and placed Jews there, and set therein all things convenient for their restoration: 7.9:

1 Maccabees 14.35: 35 and the people saw the faith of Simon, and the glory which he thought to bring to his nation, and they made him their leader and high priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and the faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to exalt his people: 7.10:

1 Maccabees 14.36: 36 and in his days things prospered in his hands, so that the Gentiles were taken away out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David, those who were in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a citadel, out of which they issued, and polluted all things round about the sanctuary, and did great hurt to its purity; 7.11:

1 Maccabees 14.37: 37 and he placed Jews therein, and fortified it for the safety of the country and the city, and made high the walls of Jerusalem: 7.12:

1 Maccabees 14.38: 38 and king Demetrius confirmed to him the high priesthood according to these things, 7.13:

1 Maccabees 14.39: 39 and made him one of his Friends, and honored him with great honor; 7.14:

1 Maccabees 14.40: 40 for he had heard say, that the Jews had been called by the Romans friends and allies and kindred, and that they had met the ambassadors of Simon honorably; 7.15:

1 Maccabees 14.41: 41 and that the Jews and the priests were well pleased that Simon should be their leader and high priest forever, until there should arise a faithful prophet; 7.16:

1 Maccabees 14.42: 42 and that he should be captain over them, and should take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, and over the country, and over the arms, and over the strongholds; and that he should take charge of the sanctuary, 7.17:

1 Maccabees 14.43: 43 and that he should be obeyed by all, and that all instruments in the country should be written in his name, and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold; 7.18:

1 Maccabees 14.44: 44 and that it should not be lawful for any of the people or of the priests to set at nothing any of these things, or to gainsay the words that he should speak, or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gold; 7.19:

1 Maccabees 14.45: 45 but whoever should do otherwise, or set at nothing any of these things, he should be liable to punishment. 7.20:

1 Maccabees 14.46: 46 All the people consented to ordain for Simon that he should do according to these words; 7.21:

1 Maccabees 14.47: 47 and Simon accepted this, and consented to be high priest, and to be captain and governor of the Jews and of the priests, and to be protector of all. 7.22:

1 Maccabees 14.48: 48 And they commanded to put this writing on tables of brass, and to set them up within the precinct of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place; 7.23:

1 Maccabees 14.49: 49 and moreover to put the copies thereof in the treasury, to the end that Simon and his sons might have them. 7.24:

1 And Antiochus son of Demetrius the king sent letters from the isles of the sea to Simon the priest and governor of the Jews, and to all the nation; Maccabees 7.28:

1 Maccabees 15.2: 2 and the contents thereof were after this manner: 7.29:

King Antiochus to Simon the chief priest and governor, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting: 1 Maccabees 7.30:

1 Maccabees 15.3: 3 Forasmuch as certain pestilent fellows have made themselves masters of the kingdom of our fathers, but my purpose is to claim the kingdom, that I may restore it as it was before; and moreover I have raised a multitude of foreign soldiers, and have prepared ships of war; 7.31:

1 Maccabees 15.4: 4 moreover I am minded to land in the country, that I may punish those who have destroyed our country, and those who have made many cities in the kingdom desolate: 7.32:

1 Maccabees 15.5: 5 Now therefore I confirm to you all the exactions which the kings that were before me remitted to you, and whatever gifts besides they remitted to you: 7.33:

1 Maccabees 15.6: 6 and I give you leave to coin money for your country with your own stamp, 7.34:

1 Maccabees 15.7: 7 but that Jerusalem and the sanctuary should be free: and all the arms that you have prepared, and the strongholds that you have built, which you have in your possession, let them remain to you: 7.35:

1 Maccabees 15.8: 8 and everything owing to the king, and the things that shall be owing to the king from henceforth and for evermore, let them be remitted to you: 7.36:

1 Maccabees 15.9: 9 moreover, when we shall have established our kingdom, we will glorify you and your nation and the temple with great glory, so that your glory shall be made manifest in all the earth. 7.37:

1 Maccabees 15.10: 10 In the hundred and seventy and fourth year went Antiochus forth into the land of his fathers; and all the forces came together to him, so that there were few men with Tryphon. 7.38:

1 Maccabees 15.11: 11 And king Antiochus pursued him, and he came, as he fled, to Dor, which is by the sea: 7.39:

1 Maccabees 15.12: 12 for he knew that troubles were come upon him all at once, and that his forces had forsaken him. 7.40:

1 Maccabees 15.13: 13 And Antiochus encamped against Dor, and with him a hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thousand horse. 7.41:

1 Maccabees 15.14: 14 And he compassed the city round about, and the ships joined in the attack from the sea; and he vexed the city by land and sea, and suffered no man to go out or in. 7.42:

1 Maccabees 15.15: 15 And Numenius and his company came from Rome, having letters to the kings and to the countries, wherein were written these things: 7.43:

1 Maccabees 15.16: 16 Lucius, consul of the Romans, to king Ptolemy, greeting: 7.44:

1 Maccabees 15.17: 17 The Jews’ ambassadors came to us as our friends and allies, to renew the old friendship and confederacy, being sent from Simon the high priest, and from the people of the Jews: 7.45:

1 Maccabees 15.18: 18 moreover they brought a shield of gold of a thousand pound. 7.46:

1 Maccabees 15.19: 19 It pleased us therefore to write to the kings and to the countries, that they should not seek their hurt, nor fight against them, and their cities, and their country, nor be allies with such as fight against them. 7.47:

1 Maccabees 15.20: 20 Moreover it seemed good to us to receive the shield of them. 7.48:

1 Maccabees 15.21: 21 If therefore any pestilent fellows have fled from their country to you, deliver them to Simon the high priest, that he may take vengeance on them according to their law. 7.49:

1 Maccabees 15.22: 22 And the same things wrote he to Demetrius the king, and to Attalus, and to Arathes, and to Arsaces, 7.50:

1 Maccabees 15.23: 23 and to all the countries, and to Sampsames, and to the Spartans, and to Delos, and to Myndos, and to Sicyon, and to Caria, and to Samos, and to Pamphylia, and to Lycia, and to Halicarnassus, and to Rhodes, and to Phaselis, and to Cos, and to Side, and to Aradus, and Gortyna, and Cnidus, and Cyprus, and Cyrene. 8.0:

1 Maccabees 15.24: 24 But they wrote this copy to Simon the high priest. 8.1:

1 Maccabees 15.25: 25 But Antiochus the king encamped against Dor the second day, bringing his forces up to it continually, and making engines of war, and he shut up Tryphon from going in or out. 8.2:

1 Maccabees 15.26: 26 And Simon sent him two thousand chosen men to fight on 8.3:

1 Maccabees 15.27: 27 And he would not receive them, but set at nothing all the covenants which he had made with him aforetime, and was estranged from him.

1 Maccabees 15.28: 28 And he sent to him Athenobius, one of his Friends, to commune with him, saying,

You° hold possession of Joppa and Gazara, and the citadel that is in Jerusalem, cities of my kingdom.

1 Maccabees 15.29: 29 The borders thereof you° have wasted, and done great hurt in the land, and got the dominion of many places in my kingdom.

1 Maccabees 15.30: 30 Now therefore deliver up the cities which you° have taken, and the tributes of the places whereof you° have gotten dominion without the borders of Judea:

1 Maccabees 15.31: 31 or else give me for them five hundred talents of silver; and for the harm that you° have done, and the tributes of the cities, other five hundred talents: or else we will come and subdue you.

1 Maccabees 15.32: 32 And Athenobius the king’s Friend came to Jerusalem; and he saw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of gold and silver vessels, and his great attendance, and he was amazed; and he reported to him the king’s words.

1 Maccabees 15.33: 33 And Simon answered, and said to him,

We have neither taken other men’s land, nor have we possession of that which appertains to others, but of the inheritance of our fathers; however, it was had in possession of our enemies wrongfully for a certain time.

1 Maccabees 15.34: 34 But we, having opportunity, hold fast the inheritance of our fathers.

1 Maccabees 15.35: 35 But as touching Joppa and Gazara, which you demand, they did great harm among the people throughout our country, we will give a hundred talents for them.

And he answered him not a word,

1 Maccabees 15.36: 36 but returned in a rage to the king, and reported to him these words, and the glory of Simon, and all that he had seen: and the king was exceedingly angry.

1 Maccabees 15.37: 37 But Tryphon embarked on board a ship, and fled to Orthosia.

1 Maccabees 15.38: 38 And the king appointed Cendebaeus chief captain of the sea coast, and gave him forces of foot and horse:

1 Maccabees 15.39: 39 and he commanded him to encamp before Judea, and he commanded him to build up Kidron, and to fortify the gates, and that he should fight against the people: but the king pursued Tryphon.

1 Maccabees 15.40: 40 And Cendebaeus came to Jamnia, and began to provoke the people, and to invade Judea, and to take the people captive, and to kill them.

1 Maccabees 15.41: 41 And he built Kidron, and set horsemen there, and forces of foot, to the end that issuing out they might make outroads upon the ways of Judea, according as the king commanded him.
