John 9

1	And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2	And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind
3	Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4	I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5	As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6	When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7	And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8	The neighbors therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9	Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10	Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11	He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12	Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13	They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14	And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15	Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16	Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17	They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18	But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19	And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20	His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21	But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
22	These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23	Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24	Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
25	He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26	Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27	He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28	Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
29	We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
30	The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31	Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshiper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
32	Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33	If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34	They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35	Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36	He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37	And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38	And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.
39	And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40	And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41	Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

Exodus 18

1	When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;
2	Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
3	And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
4	And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
5	And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
6	And he said unto Moses, I thy father-in-law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
7	And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.
8	And Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
9	And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
10	And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
11	Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
12	And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.
13	And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
14	And when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
15	And Moses said unto his father-in-law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:
16	When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them known the statutes of God, and his laws.
17	And Moses' father-in-law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
18	Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
19	Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to Godward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
20	And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
21	Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
22	And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
23	If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
24	So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.
25	And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
26	And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
27	And Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

1 Corinthians 5

1	It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
2	And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3	For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed.
4	In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5	To deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6	Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7	Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8	Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9	I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10	Yet not altogether the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11	But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no not to eat.
12	For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13	But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Revelation 17

1	And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2	With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3	So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4	And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5	And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6	And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7	And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8	The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9	And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10	And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11	And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12	And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13	These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14	These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15	And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16	And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17	For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18	And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Job 7

1	Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of a hireling?
2	As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as a hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
3	So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4	When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
5	My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
6	My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7	O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
8	The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
9	As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
10	He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
11	Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12	Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
13	When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
14	Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
15	So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.
16	I loathe it; I would not live always: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
17	What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
18	And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
19	How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
20	I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
21	And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

Psalms 105

1	O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2	Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3	Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4	Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5	Remember his marvelous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6	O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7	He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8	He hath remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9	Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10	And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11	Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12	When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13	When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
14	He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15	Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16	Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he broke the whole staff of bread.
17	He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18	Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19	Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20	The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21	He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22	To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23	Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24	And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25	He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtlely with his servants.
26	He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27	They showed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28	He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29	He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30	Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31	He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
32	He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33	He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and broke the trees of their coasts.
34	He spoke, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number,
35	And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36	He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37	He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38	Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39	He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40	The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41	He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
42	For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43	And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
44	And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labor of the people;
45	That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

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.

Joshua 6

1	Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2	And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.
3	And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
4	And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
5	And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
6	And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.
7	And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
8	And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
9	And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rearward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
10	And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
11	So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12	And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
13	And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
14	And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
15	And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
16	And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
17	And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18	And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
19	But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
20	So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
21	And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22	But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye swore unto her.
23	And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
24	And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
25	And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26	And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
27	So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.

Isaiah 5

1	Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
2	And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3	And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4	What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5	And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6	And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7	For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
8	Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
9	In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
10	Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of a homer shall yield an ephah.
11	Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
12	And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
13	Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14	Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
15	And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
16	But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
17	Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18	Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
19	That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
20	Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21	Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22	Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23	Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24	Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25	Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcasses were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
26	And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27	None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28	Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hooves shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29	Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
30	And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

Acts 3

1	Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2	And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3	Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4	And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5	And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6	Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7	And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8	And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9	And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10	And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
11	And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12	And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
13	The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
14	But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
15	And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16	And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17	And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
18	But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19	Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20	And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21	Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22	For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23	And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24	Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25	Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26	Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
