Judges 1.7: 7 Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their big toes cut off, scavenged under my table. As I have done, so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

Judges 1.19: 19 Yahweh was with Judah, and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Judges 1.20: 20 They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there.

Judges 1.26: 26 The man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
Judges 1.27: 27 Manasseh didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Judges 1.28: 28 When Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out.

Judges 1.33: 33 Naphtali didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.

2 Samuel 3.0: 
3
2 Samuel 3.1: 1 Now there was long war between Saul’s house and David’s house. David grew stronger and stronger, but Saul’s house grew weaker and weaker.
2 Samuel 3.2: 2 Sons were born to David in Hebron. His firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
2 Samuel 3.3: 3 and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
2 Samuel 3.4: 4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
2 Samuel 3.5: 5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
2 Samuel 3.6: 6 While there was war between Saul’s house and David’s house, Abner made himself strong in Saul’s house.
2 Samuel 3.7: 7 Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah; and Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?”
2 Samuel 3.8: 8 Then Abner was very angry about Ishbosheth’s words, and said, “Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to Saul’s house your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman!
2 Samuel 3.9: 9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Yahweh has sworn to David, I don’t do even so to him;
2 Samuel 3.10: 10 to transfer the kingdom from Saul’s house, and to set up David’s throne over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.”
2 Samuel 3.11: 11 He could not answer Abner another word, because he was afraid of him.
2 Samuel 3.12: 12 Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, “Whose is the land?” and saying, “Make your alliance with me, and behold, my hand will be with you, to bring all Israel around to you.”
2 Samuel 3.13: 13 He said, “Good. I will make a treaty with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you will not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.”
2 Samuel 3.14: 14 David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I was given to marry for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
2 Samuel 3.15: 15 Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, even from Paltiel the son of Laish.
2 Samuel 3.16: 16 Her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go! Return!” and he returned.
2 Samuel 3.17: 17 Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, “In times past, you sought for David to be king over you.
2 Samuel 3.18: 18 Now then do it; for Yahweh has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.’”
2 Samuel 3.19: 19 Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.
2 Samuel 3.20: 20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
2 Samuel 3.21: 21 Abner said to David, “I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires.” David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
2 Samuel 3.22: 22 Behold, David’s servants and Joab came from a raid, and brought in a great plunder with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
2 Samuel 3.23: 23 When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace.”
2 Samuel 3.24: 24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away, and he is already gone?
2 Samuel 3.25: 25 You know Abner the son of Ner. He came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you do.”
2 Samuel 3.26: 26 When Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David didn’t know it.
2 Samuel 3.27: 27 When Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the body, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
2 Samuel 3.28: 28 Afterward, when David heard it, he said, “I and my kingdom are guiltless before Yahweh forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
2 Samuel 3.29: 29 Let it fall on the head of Joab, and on all his father’s house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.”
2 Samuel 3.30: 30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
2 Samuel 3.31: 31 David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn in front of Abner.” King David followed the bier.
2 Samuel 3.32: 32 They buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at Abner’s grave; and all the people wept.
2 Samuel 3.33: 33 The king lamented for Abner, and said, “Should Abner die as a fool dies?
2 Samuel 3.34: 34 Your hands weren’t bound, and your feet weren’t put into fetters. As a man falls before the children of iniquity, so you fell.”
All the people wept again over him.
2 Samuel 3.35: 35 All the people came to urge David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or anything else, until the sun goes down.”
2 Samuel 3.36: 36 All the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; as whatever the king did pleased all the people.
2 Samuel 3.37: 37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
2 Samuel 3.38: 38 The king said to his servants, “Don’t you know that a prince and a great man has fallen today in Israel?
2 Samuel 3.39: 39 I am weak today, though anointed king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me. May Yahweh reward the evildoer according to his wickedness.”
2 Kings 5.0: 
5
2 Kings 5.1: 1 Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.
2 Kings 5.2: 2 The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.
2 Kings 5.3: 3 She said to her mistress, “I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy.”
2 Kings 5.4: 4 Someone went in, and told his lord, saying, “The maiden who is from the land of Israel said this.”
2 Kings 5.5: 5 The king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.”
He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
2 Kings 5.6: 6 He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “Now when this letter has come to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.”
2 Kings 5.7: 7 When the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his clothes, and said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.”
2 Kings 5.8: 8 It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
2 Kings 5.9: 9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
2 Kings 5.10: 10 Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.”
2 Kings 5.11: 11 But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, “Behold, I thought, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leper.’
2 Kings 5.12: 12 Aren’t Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them, and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.
2 Kings 5.13: 13 His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean?’”
2 Kings 5.14: 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
2 Kings 5.15: 15 He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, “See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.”
2 Kings 5.16: 16 But he said, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none.”
He urged him to take it; but he refused.
2 Kings 5.17: 17 Naaman said, “If not, then, please let two mules’ burden of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to Yahweh.
2 Kings 5.18: 18 In this thing may Yahweh pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon. When I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may Yahweh pardon your servant in this thing.”
2 Kings 5.19: 19 He said to him, “Go in peace.”
So he departed from him a little way.
2 Kings 5.20: 20 But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.”
2 Kings 5.21: 21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Is all well?”
2 Kings 5.22: 22 He said, “All is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.’”
2 Kings 5.23: 23 Naaman said, “Be pleased to take two talents.” He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried them before him.
2 Kings 5.24: 24 When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then he let the men go, and they departed.
2 Kings 5.25: 25 But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where did you come from, Gehazi?”
He said, “Your servant went nowhere.”
2 Kings 5.26: 26 He said to him, “Didn’t my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants?
2 Kings 5.27: 27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your offspring forever.”
He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.

1 Chronicles 19.1: 1 After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
1 Chronicles 19.2: 2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.”
So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
1 Chronicles 19.3: 3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”
1 Chronicles 19.4: 4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.
1 Chronicles 19.5: 5 Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
1 Chronicles 19.6: 6 When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
1 Chronicles 19.7: 7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
1 Chronicles 19.8: 8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
1 Chronicles 19.9: 9 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
1 Chronicles 19.10: 10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
1 Chronicles 19.11: 11 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
1 Chronicles 19.12: 12 He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
1 Chronicles 19.13: 13 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May Yahweh do that which seems good to him.”
1 Chronicles 19.14: 14 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
1 Chronicles 19.15: 15 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 19.16: 16 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
1 Chronicles 19.17: 17 David was told that; so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
1 Chronicles 19.18: 18 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.
1 Chronicles 19.19: 19 When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.

Micah 1.0: 
1
Micah 1.1: 1 Yahweh’s word that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Micah 1.2: 2 Hear, you peoples, all of you.
Listen, O earth, and all that is therein:
and let the Lord Yahweh be witness against you,
the Lord from his holy temple.
Micah 1.3: 3 For, behold, Yahweh comes out of his place,
and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
Micah 1.4: 4 The mountains melt under him,
and the valleys split apart,
like wax before the fire,
like waters that are poured down a steep place.
Micah 1.5: 5 “All this is for the disobedience of Jacob,
and for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the disobedience of Jacob?
Isn’t it Samaria?
And what are the high places of Judah?
Aren’t they Jerusalem?
Micah 1.6: 6 Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field,
like places for planting vineyards;
and I will pour down its stones into the valley,
and I will uncover its foundations.
Micah 1.7: 7 All her idols will be beaten to pieces,
and all her temple gifts will be burned with fire,
and all her images I will destroy;
for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them,
and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.”
Micah 1.8: 8 For this I will lament and wail;
I will go stripped and naked;
I will howl like the jackals,
and moan like the daughters of owls.
Micah 1.9: 9 For her wounds are incurable;
for it has come even to Judah.
It reaches to the gate of my people,
even to Jerusalem.
Micah 1.10: 10 Don’t tell it in Gath.
Don’t weep at all.
At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
Micah 1.11: 11 Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame.
The inhabitant of Zaanan won’t come out.
The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
Micah 1.12: 12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good,
because evil has come down from Yahweh to the gate of Jerusalem.
Micah 1.13: 13 Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish.
She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion;
For the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
Micah 1.14: 14 Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath.
The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
Micah 1.15: 15 I will yet bring to you, inhabitant of Mareshah.
He who is the glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
Micah 1.16: 16 Shave your heads,
and cut off your hair for the children of your delight.
Enlarge your baldness like the vulture;
for they have gone into captivity from you!
Micah 3.0: 
3
Micah 3.1: 1 I said,
“Please listen, you heads of Jacob,
and rulers of the house of Israel:
Isn’t it for you to know justice?
Micah 3.2: 2 You who hate the good,
and love the evil;
who tear off their skin,
and their flesh from off their bones;
Micah 3.3: 3 who also eat the flesh of my people,
and peel their skin from off them,
and break their bones,
and chop them in pieces, as for the pot,
and as meat within the cauldron.
Micah 3.4: 4 Then they will cry to Yahweh,
but he will not answer them.
Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time,
because they made their deeds evil.”
Micah 3.5: 5 Yahweh says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:
Micah 3.6: 6 “Therefore night is over you, with no vision,
and it is dark to you, that you may not divine;
and the sun will go down on the prophets,
and the day will be black over them.
Micah 3.7: 7 The seers shall be disappointed,
and the diviners confounded.
Yes, they shall all cover their lips;
for there is no answer from God.”
Micah 3.8: 8 But as for me, I am full of power by Yahweh’s Spirit,
and of judgment, and of might,
to declare to Jacob his disobedience,
and to Israel his sin.
Micah 3.9: 9 Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob,
and rulers of the house of Israel,
who abhor justice,
and pervert all equity.
Micah 3.10: 10 They build up Zion with blood,
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Micah 3.11: 11 Her leaders judge for bribes,
and her priests teach for a price,
and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money:
yet they lean on Yahweh, and say,
“Isn’t Yahweh among us?
No disaster will come on us.”
Micah 3.12: 12 Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field,
and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble,
and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.
Micah 6.0: 
6
Micah 6.1: 1 Listen now to what Yahweh says:
“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
and let the hills hear what you have to say.
Micah 6.2: 2 Hear, you mountains, Yahweh’s controversy,
and you enduring foundations of the earth;
for Yahweh has a controversy with his people,
and he will contend with Israel.
Micah 6.3: 3 My people, what have I done to you?
How have I burdened you?
Answer me!
Micah 6.4: 4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
and redeemed you out of the house of bondage.
I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Micah 6.5: 5 My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised,
and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal,
that you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”
Micah 6.6: 6 How shall I come before Yahweh,
and bow myself before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
Micah 6.7: 7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams?
With tens of thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience?
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Micah 6.8: 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good.
What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly,
to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6.9: 9 Yahweh’s voice calls to the city,
and wisdom sees your name:
“Listen to the rod,
and he who appointed it.
Micah 6.10: 10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
and a short ephah that is accursed?
Micah 6.11: 11 Shall I be pure with dishonest scales,
and with a bag of deceitful weights?
Micah 6.12: 12 Her rich men are full of violence,
her inhabitants speak lies,
and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
Micah 6.13: 13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound.
I have made you desolate because of your sins.
Micah 6.14: 14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied.
Your humiliation will be within you.
You will store up, but not save;
and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
Micah 6.15: 15 You will sow, but won’t reap.
You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil;
and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine.
Micah 6.16: 16 For the statutes of Omri are kept,
and all the works of Ahab’s house.
You walk in their counsels,
that I may make you a ruin,
and her inhabitants a hissing;
And you will bear the reproach of my people.”
Micah 7.0: 
7
Micah 7.1: 1 Misery is mine!
Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard:
There is no cluster of grapes to eat.
My soul desires to eat the early fig.
Micah 7.2: 2 The godly man has perished out of the earth,
and there is no one upright among men.
They all lie in wait for blood;
every man hunts his brother with a net.
Micah 7.3: 3 Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently.
The ruler and judge ask for a bribe;
and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul.
Thus they conspire together.
Micah 7.4: 4 The best of them is like a brier.
The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge.
The day of your watchmen,
even your visitation, has come;
now is the time of their confusion.
Micah 7.5: 5 Don’t trust in a neighbor.
Don’t put confidence in a friend.
With the woman lying in your embrace,
be careful of the words of your mouth!
Micah 7.6: 6 For the son dishonors the father,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
Micah 7.7: 7 But as for me, I will look to Yahweh.
I will wait for the God of my salvation.
My God will hear me.
Micah 7.8: 8 Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy.
When I fall, I will arise.
When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light to me.
Micah 7.9: 9 I will bear the indignation of Yahweh,
because I have sinned against him,
until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me.
He will bring me out to the light.
I will see his righteousness.
Micah 7.10: 10 Then my enemy will see it,
and shame will cover her who said to me,
where is Yahweh your God?
Then my enemy will see me and will cover her shame.
Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.
Micah 7.11: 11 A day to build your walls—
In that day, he will extend your boundary.
Micah 7.12: 12 In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
and from Egypt even to the River,
and from sea to sea,
and mountain to mountain.
Micah 7.13: 13 Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein,
for the fruit of their doings.
Micah 7.14: 14 Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock of your heritage,
who dwell by themselves in a forest,
in the middle of fertile pasture land, let them feed;
in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Micah 7.15: 15 “As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt,
I will show them marvelous things.”
Micah 7.16: 16 The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might.
They will lay their hand on their mouth.
Their ears will be deaf.
Micah 7.17: 17 They will lick the dust like a serpent.
Like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their dens.
They will come with fear to Yahweh our God,
and will be afraid because of you.
Micah 7.18: 18 Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity,
and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage?
He doesn’t retain his anger forever,
because he delights in loving kindness.
Micah 7.19: 19 He will again have compassion on us.
He will tread our iniquities under foot;
and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Micah 7.20: 20 You will give truth to Jacob,
and mercy to Abraham,
as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
Zechariah 0.0: 
The Book of
Zechariah
Zechariah 10.0: 
10
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 of the Nile will dry up;
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.
Mark 10.0: 
10
Mark 10.1: 1 He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.
Mark 10.2: 2 Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
Mark 10.3: 3 He answered, “What did Moses command you?”
Mark 10.4: 4 They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”
Mark 10.5: 5 But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment. 
Mark 10.6: 6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
Mark 10.7: 7 For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife, 
Mark 10.8: 8 and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. 
Mark 10.9: 9 What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” 
Mark 10.10: 10 In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.
Mark 10.11: 11 He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her. 
Mark 10.12: 12 If a woman herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery.”
Mark 10.13: 13 They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
Mark 10.14: 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these. 
Mark 10.15: 15 Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
Mark 10.16: 16 He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
Mark 10.17: 17 As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”
Mark 10.18: 18 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God. 
Mark 10.19: 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’”
Mark 10.20: 20 He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”
Mark 10.21: 21 Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”
Mark 10.22: 22 But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.
Mark 10.23: 23 Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!”
Mark 10.24: 24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom! 
Mark 10.25: 25 It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
Mark 10.26: 26 They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”
Mark 10.27: 27 Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”
Mark 10.28: 28 Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all, and have followed you.”
Mark 10.29: 29 Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, 
Mark 10.30: 30 but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time: houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life. 
Mark 10.31: 31 But many who are first will be last; and the last first.”
Mark 10.32: 32 They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.
Mark 10.33: 33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles. 
Mark 10.34: 34 They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”
Mark 10.35: 35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”
Mark 10.36: 36 He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Mark 10.37: 37 They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory.”
Mark 10.38: 38 But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
Mark 10.39: 39 They said to him, “We are able.”
Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; 
Mark 10.40: 40 but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.”
Mark 10.41: 41 When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant toward James and John.
Mark 10.42: 42 Jesus summoned them, and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 
Mark 10.43: 43 But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant. 
Mark 10.44: 44 Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all. 
Mark 10.45: 45 For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Mark 10.46: 46 They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.
Mark 10.47: 47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Mark 10.48: 48 Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
Mark 10.49: 49 Jesus stood still, and said, “Call him.”
They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”
Mark 10.50: 50 He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
Mark 10.51: 51 Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?”
The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, that I may see again.”
Mark 10.52: 52 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus on the way.
John 7.0: 
7
John 7.1: 1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
John 7.2: 2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
John 7.3: 3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
John 7.4: 4 For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
John 7.5: 5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
John 7.6: 6 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 
John 7.7: 7 The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil. 
John 7.8: 8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
John 7.9: 9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
John 7.10: 10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
John 7.11: 11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
John 7.12: 12 There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
John 7.13: 13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
John 7.14: 14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
John 7.15: 15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
John 7.16: 16 Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 
John 7.17: 17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself. 
John 7.18: 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 
John 7.19: 19 Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
John 7.20: 20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
John 7.21: 21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it. 
John 7.22: 22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy. 
John 7.23: 23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath? 
John 7.24: 24 Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” 
John 7.25: 25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
John 7.26: 26 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
John 7.27: 27 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
John 7.28: 28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know. 
John 7.29: 29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
John 7.30: 30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
John 7.31: 31 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
John 7.32: 32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
John 7.33: 33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me. 
John 7.34: 34 You will seek me, and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
John 7.35: 35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
John 7.36: 36 What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’?”
John 7.37: 37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! 
John 7.38: 38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
John 7.39: 39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.
John 7.40: 40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
John 7.41: 41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
John 7.42: 42 Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
John 7.43: 43 So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
John 7.44: 44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
John 7.45: 45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
John 7.46: 46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
John 7.47: 47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
John 7.48: 48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
John 7.49: 49 But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
John 7.50: 50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
John 7.51: 51 “Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
John 7.52: 52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
John 7.53: 53 Everyone went to his own house,
1 Corinthians 6.0: 
6
1 Corinthians 6.1: 1 Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
1 Corinthians 6.2: 2 Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1 Corinthians 6.3: 3 Don’t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
1 Corinthians 6.4: 4 If then you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?
1 Corinthians 6.5: 5 I say this to move you to shame. Isn’t there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?
1 Corinthians 6.6: 6 But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!
1 Corinthians 6.7: 7 Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
1 Corinthians 6.8: 8 No, but you yourselves do wrong and defraud, and that against your brothers.
1 Corinthians 6.9: 9 Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,
1 Corinthians 6.10: 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom.
1 Corinthians 6.11: 11 Some of you were such, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6.12: 12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.
1 Corinthians 6.13: 13 “Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
1 Corinthians 6.14: 14 Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.
1 Corinthians 6.15: 15 Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
1 Corinthians 6.16: 16 Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two”, he says, “will become one flesh.”
1 Corinthians 6.17: 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
1 Corinthians 6.18: 18 Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
1 Corinthians 6.19: 19 Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
1 Corinthians 6.20: 20 for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Ephesians 5.0: 
5
Ephesians 5.1: 1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
Ephesians 5.2: 2 Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
Ephesians 5.3: 3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
Ephesians 5.4: 4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.
Ephesians 5.5: 5 Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
Ephesians 5.6: 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
Ephesians 5.7: 7 Therefore don’t be partakers with them.
Ephesians 5.8: 8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
Ephesians 5.9: 9 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
Ephesians 5.10: 10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
Ephesians 5.11: 11 Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
Ephesians 5.12: 12 For it is a shame even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.
Ephesians 5.13: 13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
Ephesians 5.14: 14 Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Ephesians 5.15: 15 Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise,
Ephesians 5.16: 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5.17: 17 Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5.18: 18 Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
Ephesians 5.19: 19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Ephesians 5.20: 20 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
Ephesians 5.21: 21 subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.
Ephesians 5.22: 22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Ephesians 5.23: 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
Ephesians 5.24: 24 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
Ephesians 5.25: 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;
Ephesians 5.26: 26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
Ephesians 5.27: 27 that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.
Ephesians 5.28: 28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
Ephesians 5.29: 29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
Ephesians 5.30: 30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
Ephesians 5.31: 31 “For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.”
Ephesians 5.32: 32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.
Ephesians 5.33: 33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Colossians 3.0: 
3
Colossians 3.1: 1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
Colossians 3.2: 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Colossians 3.3: 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Colossians 3.4: 4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Colossians 3.5: 5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Colossians 3.6: 6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
Colossians 3.7: 7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
Colossians 3.8: 8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Colossians 3.9: 9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
Colossians 3.10: 10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
Colossians 3.11: 11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.
Colossians 3.12: 12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
Colossians 3.13: 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
Colossians 3.14: 14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
Colossians 3.15: 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
Colossians 3.16: 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
Colossians 3.17: 17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.
Colossians 3.18: 18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Colossians 3.19: 19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
Colossians 3.20: 20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Colossians 3.21: 21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
Colossians 3.22: 22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
Colossians 3.23: 23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,
Colossians 3.24: 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Colossians 3.25: 25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy
Hebrews 4.0: 
4
Hebrews 4.1: 1 Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
Hebrews 4.2: 2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.
Hebrews 4.3: 3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Hebrews 4.4: 4 For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”
Hebrews 4.5: 5 and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”
Hebrews 4.6: 6 Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,
Hebrews 4.7: 7 he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said),
“Today if you will hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts.”
Hebrews 4.8: 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
Hebrews 4.9: 9 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
Hebrews 4.10: 10 For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
Hebrews 4.11: 11 Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
Hebrews 4.12: 12 For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4.13: 13 There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.
Hebrews 4.14: 14 Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.
Hebrews 4.15: 15 For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 4.16: 16 Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.
Revelation 10.0: 
10
Revelation 10.1: 1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
Revelation 10.2: 2 He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.
Revelation 10.3: 3 He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
Revelation 10.4: 4 When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don’t write them.”
Revelation 10.5: 5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky,
Revelation 10.6: 6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay,
Revelation 10.7: 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants, the prophets.
Revelation 10.8: 8 The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, “Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.”
Revelation 10.9: 9 I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book.
He said to me, “Take it, and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
Revelation 10.10: 10 I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
Revelation 10.11: 11 They told me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
Revelation 14.0: 
14
Revelation 14.1: 1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
Revelation 14.2: 2 I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.
Revelation 14.3: 3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.
Revelation 14.4: 4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
Revelation 14.5: 5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
Revelation 14.6: 6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
Revelation 14.7: 7 He said with a loud voice, “Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!”
Revelation 14.8: 8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying, “Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality.”
Revelation 14.9: 9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand,
Revelation 14.10: 10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.
Revelation 14.11: 11 The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
Revelation 14.12: 12 Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
Revelation 14.13: 13 I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.”
Revelation 14.14: 14 I looked, and saw a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14.15: 15 Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Send your sickle, and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!”
Revelation 14.16: 16 He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Revelation 14.17: 17 Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14.18: 18 Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth’s grapes are fully ripe!”
Revelation 14.19: 19 The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God.
Revelation 14.20: 20 The wine press was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out of the wine press, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.
Revelation 18.0: 
18
Revelation 18.1: 1 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
Revelation 18.2: 2 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird!
Revelation 18.3: 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
Revelation 18.4: 4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
Revelation 18.5: 5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Revelation 18.6: 6 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
Revelation 18.7: 7 However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
Revelation 18.8: 8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
Revelation 18.9: 9 The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
Revelation 18.10: 10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’
Revelation 18.11: 11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
Revelation 18.12: 12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
Revelation 18.13: 13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
Revelation 18.14: 14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
Revelation 18.15: 15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
Revelation 18.16: 16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
Revelation 18.17: 17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
Revelation 18.18: 18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
Revelation 18.19: 19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
Revelation 18.20: 20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her.”
Revelation 18.21: 21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
Revelation 18.22: 22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
Revelation 18.23: 23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
Revelation 18.24: 24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
Sirach 41.0: 
41
Sirach 41.1: 1 O death, how bitter is the remembrance of you to a man that is at peace in his possessions,
To the man that has nothing to distract him, and has prosperity in all things,
And that still has strength to receive meat!
Sirach 41.2: 2 O death, acceptable is your sentence to a man that is needy, and that fails in strength,
That is in extreme old age, and is distracted about all things,
And is perverse, and has lost patience!
Sirach 41.3: 3 Don’t be afraid of the sentence of death;
Remember those who have been before you, and that come after:
This is the sentence from the Lord over all flesh.
Sirach 41.4: 4 And why do you refuse, when it is the good pleasure of the Most High?
Whether it be ten, or a hundred, or a thousand years,
There is no inquisition of life in the grave.
Sirach 41.5: 5 The children of sinners are abominable children,
And they frequent the dwellings of the ungodly.
Sirach 41.6: 6 The inheritance of sinners’ children shall perish,
And with their posterity shall be a perpetual reproach.
Sirach 41.7: 7 Children will complain of an ungodly father,
Because they shall be reproached for his sake.
Sirach 41.8: 8 Woe to you, ungodly men,
Which have forsaken the law of the Most High God! 
Sirach 41.9: 9 If you° be born, you° shall be born to a curse;
If you° die, a curse shall be your portion.
Sirach 41.10: 10 All things that are of the earth shall go back to the earth:
So the ungodly shall go from a curse to perdition.
Sirach 41.11: 11 The mourning of men is about their bodies:
But the name of sinners being evil shall be blotted out.
Sirach 41.12: 12 Have regard to your name;
For it continues with you longer than a thousand great treasures of gold.
Sirach 41.13: 13 A good life has its number of days;
And a good name continues forever.
Sirach 41.14: 14 My children, keep instruction in peace:
But wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen,
What profit is in them both?
Sirach 41.15: 15 Better is a man that hides his foolishness
Than a man that hides his wisdom.
Sirach 41.16: 16 Wherefore show reverence to my word:
For it is not good to retain every kind of shame;
And not all things are approved by all in good faith.
Sirach 41.17: 17 Be ashamed of whoredom before father and mother:
And of a lie before a prince and a mighty man;
Sirach 41.18: 18 Of an offence before a judge and ruler;
Of iniquity before the congregation and the people;
Of unjust dealing before a partner and friend;
Sirach 41.19: 19 And of theft in regard of the place where you sojourn,
And in regard of the truth of God and his covenant;
And of leaning with your elbow at meat;
And of scurrility in the matter of giving and taking;
Sirach 41.20: 20 And of silence before those who salute you;
And of looking upon a woman that is a prostitute;
Sirach 41.21: 21 And of turning away your face from a kinsman;
Of taking away a portion or a gift;
And of gazing upon a woman that has a husband;
Sirach 41.22: 22 Of being over busy with his maid; and come not near her bed;
Of upbraiding speeches before friends;
And after you have given, upbraid not;
Sirach 41.23: 23 Of repeating and speaking what you have heard;
And of revealing of secrets.
Sirach 41.24: 24 So shall you be truly shamefast,
And find favor in the sight of every man.
1 Maccabees 7.0: 
7
1 Maccabees 7.1: 1 In the hundred and one and fifties year Demetrius the son of Seleucus came forth from Rome, and went up with a few men to a city by the sea, and reigned there.
1 Maccabees 7.2: 2 And it came to pass, when he would go into the house of the kingdom of his fathers, that the army laid hands on Antiochus and Lysias, to bring them to him.
1 Maccabees 7.3: 3 And the thing was known to him, and he said, show me not their faces.
1 Maccabees 7.4: 4 And the army killed them. And Demetrius sat upon the throne of his kingdom.
1 Maccabees 7.5: 5 And there came to him all the lawless and ungodly men of Israel; and Alcimus was their leader, desiring to be high priest;
1 Maccabees 7.6: 6 and they accused the people to the king, saying, Judas and his kindred have destroyed all your friends, and have scattered us from our own land.
1 Maccabees 7.7: 7 Now therefore send a man whom you trust, and let him go and see all the havock which he has made of us, and of the king’s country, and how he has punished them and all that helped them.
1 Maccabees 7.8: 8 And the king chose Bacchides, one of the king’s Friends, who was ruler in the country beyond the river, and was a great man in the kingdom, and faithful to the king.
1 Maccabees 7.9: 9 And he sent him, and that ungodly Alcimus, and made sure to him the high priesthood, and he commanded him to take vengeance upon the children of Israel.
1 Maccabees 7.10: 10 And they removed, and came with a great army into the land of Judah, and he sent messengers to Judas and his kindred with words of peace deceitfully.
1 Maccabees 7.11: 11 And they gave no heed to their words; for they saw that they were come with a great army.
1 Maccabees 7.12: 12 And there were gathered together to Alcimus and Bacchides a company of scribes, to seek for justice.
1 Maccabees 7.13: 13 And the Hasidaeans were the first among the children of Israel that sought peace of them;

1 Maccabees 7.17: 17 The flesh of your saints did they cast out, 
And their blood did they shed round about Jerusalem;
And there was no man to bury them.

1 Maccabees 7.28: 28 Let there be no battle between me and you; I will come with a few men, that I may see your faces in peace.
1 Maccabees 7.29: 29 And he came to Judas, and they saluted one another peaceably. And the enemies were ready to take away Judas by violence.

1 Maccabees 7.33: 33 And after these things Nicanor went up to mount Sion: and there came some of the priests out of the sanctuary, and some of the elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to show him the whole burned sacrifice that was being offered for the king.
1 Maccabees 7.34: 34 And he mocked them, and laughed at them, and entreated them shamefully, and spoke haughtily,
1 Maccabees 7.35: 35 and sware in a rage, saying, Unless Judas and his army be now delivered into my hands, it shall be that, if I come again in peace, I will burn up this house: and he went out in a great rage.

1 Maccabees 7.37: 37 You did choose this house to be called by your name, to be a house of prayer and supplication for your people:
1 Maccabees 7.38: 38 take vengeance on this man and his army, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to live any longer.

1 Maccabees 7.42: 42 Even so discomfit you this army before us today, and let all the rest know that he has spoken wickedly against your sanctuary, and judge you him according to his wickedness.
1 Maccabees 7.43: 43 And on the thirteenth day of the month Adar the armies joined battle: and Nicanor’s army was discomfited, and he himself was the first to fall in the battle.
