John 5

1	After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2	Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3	In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4	For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5	And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6	When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7	The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8	Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9	And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10	The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11	He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12	Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13	And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14	Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15	The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16	And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17	But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18	Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19	Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20	For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21	For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22	For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23	That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father which hath sent him.
24	Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25	Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26	For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27	And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28	Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29	And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30	I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31	If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32	There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33	Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34	But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35	He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36	But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37	And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38	And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39	Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40	And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41	I receive not honor from men.
42	But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43	I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44	How can ye believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?
45	Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46	For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47	But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Deuteronomy 9

1	Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2	A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3	Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
4	Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
5	Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6	Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
7	Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.
8	Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
9	When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
10	And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11	And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
12	And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13	Furthermore the LORD spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
14	Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15	So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16	And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
17	And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
18	And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
19	For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.
20	And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21	And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22	And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.
23	Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24	Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
25	Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
26	I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27	Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
28	Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
29	Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.

Romans 6

1	What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2	God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3	Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4	Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5	For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6	Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7	For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8	Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9	Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10	For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11	Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12	Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13	Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14	For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15	What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16	Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17	But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18	Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19	I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20	For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21	What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22	But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23	For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Peter 5

1	The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2	Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3	Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
4	And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5	Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6	Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7	Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8	Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9	Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10	But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
11	To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
12	By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
13	The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Mark my son.
14	Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Job 38

1	Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2	Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3	Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4	Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5	Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6	Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7	When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8	Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9	When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it,
10	And broke up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
11	And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
12	Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13	That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14	It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
15	And from the wicked their light is withheld, and the high arm shall be broken.
16	Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
17	Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18	Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
19	Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
20	That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
21	Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?
22	Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
23	Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
24	By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
25	Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
26	To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27	To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
28	Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
29	Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath engendered it?
30	The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
31	Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32	Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
33	Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
34	Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
35	Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
36	Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
37	Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
38	When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
39	Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
40	When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
41	Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Psalms 12

1	To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2	They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3	The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4	Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5	For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6	The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7	Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever.
8	The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Proverbs 7

1	My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
2	Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
3	Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
4	Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
5	That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
6	For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
7	And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
8	Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
9	In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
10	And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.
11	(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
12	Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
13	So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
14	I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows.
15	Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
16	I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
17	I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18	Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
19	For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
20	He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
21	With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
22	He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
23	Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
24	Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25	Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
26	For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
27	Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

1 Chronicles 11

1	Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2	And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.
3	Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.
4	And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
5	And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.
6	And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
7	And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.
8	And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9	So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.
10	These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
11	And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, a Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.
12	And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13	He was with David at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
14	And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance.
15	Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16	And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
17	And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!
18	And the three broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD,
19	And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
20	And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three.
21	Of the three, he was more honorable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.
22	Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
23	And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
24	These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighty men.
25	Behold, he was honorable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.
26	Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
27	Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,
28	Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Antothite,
29	Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,
30	Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite,
31	Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,
32	Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,
33	Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite,
34	The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite,
35	Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son of Ur,
36	Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,
37	Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai,
38	Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Haggeri,
39	Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armorbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah,
40	Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,
41	Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,
42	Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of the Reubenites, and thirty with him,
43	Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite,
44	Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of Hothan the Aroerite,
45	Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite,
46	Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite,
47	Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite.

Ezekiel 39

1	Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2	And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3	And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4	Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5	Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6	And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7	So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8	Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9	And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10	So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11	And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog.
12	And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13	Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14	And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15	And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog.
16	And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17	And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18	Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19	And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20	Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21	And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22	So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23	And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24	According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26	After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27	When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28	Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29	Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Acts 22

1	Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defense which I make now unto you.
2	(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
3	I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
4	And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
5	As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
6	And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
7	And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8	And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9	And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
10	And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
11	And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12	And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
13	Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
14	And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
15	For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
16	And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
17	And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
18	And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19	And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
20	And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21	And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
22	And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
23	And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
24	The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
25	And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
26	When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
27	Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
28	And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
29	Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
30	On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
