Professor Horner’s Reading Plan

Read through the Bible in one year by reading 10 chapters a day from 10 different sections of the Bible using the Professor Grant Horner Bible reading plan.

Today, we are reading Luke 15; Exodus 9; Philippians 2; Revelation 16; Song of Solomon 5; Psalms 59; Proverbs 28; 1 Samuel 10; Isaiah 59; Acts 3.

Luke 15

1	Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2	And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3	And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4	What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5	And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6	And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7	I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
8	Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9	And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10	Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11	And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12	And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13	And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14	And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15	And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16	And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17	And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18	I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19	And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20	And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21	And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22	But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23	And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24	For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25	Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26	And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27	And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28	And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him.
29	And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30	But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31	And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32	It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

Exodus 9

1	Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2	For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
3	Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
4	And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.
5	And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
6	And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7	And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8	And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
9	And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
10	And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
11	And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12	And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
13	And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14	For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
15	For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
16	And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to show in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17	As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
18	Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
19	Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
20	He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
21	And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
22	And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
23	And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24	So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25	And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
26	Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
27	And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28	Entreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
29	And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD's.
30	But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
31	And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32	But the wheat and the rye were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
33	And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
34	And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35	And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.

Philippians 2

1	If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2	Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3	Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4	Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5	Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6	Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7	But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8	And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9	Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10	That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11	And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12	Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13	For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14	Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15	That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16	Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
17	Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18	For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
19	But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20	For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21	For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
22	But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
23	Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24	But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
25	Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
26	For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
27	For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28	I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29	Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
30	Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

Revelation 16

1	And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2	And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshiped his image.
3	And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4	And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5	And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6	For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7	And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8	And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9	And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10	And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11	And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
12	And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13	And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14	For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15	Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16	And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17	And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18	And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19	And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20	And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21	And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Song of Solomon 5

1	I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
2	I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
3	I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
4	My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.
5	I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
6	I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spoke: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7	The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
8	I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
9	What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
10	My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
11	His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
12	His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
13	His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
14	His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
15	His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16	His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Psalms 59

1	To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2	Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3	For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4	They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5	Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6	They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7	Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8	But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9	Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defense.
10	The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11	Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12	For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13	Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14	And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15	Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16	But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17	Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.

Proverbs 28

1	The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
2	For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
3	A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
4	They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5	Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
6	Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7	Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
8	He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9	He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10	Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
11	The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12	When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
13	He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
14	Happy is the man that feareth always: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
15	As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16	The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17	A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18	Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19	He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
20	A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21	To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
22	He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23	He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favor than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24	Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
25	He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
26	He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
27	He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
28	When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

1 Samuel 10

1	Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
2	When thou art departed from me today, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulcher in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
3	Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
4	And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.
5	After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:
6	And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
7	And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.
8	And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shalt do.
9	And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
10	And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11	And it came to pass, when all that knew him formerly saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
12	And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
13	And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
14	And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel.
15	And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.
16	And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spoke, he told him not.
17	And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;
18	And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
19	And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
20	And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21	When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
22	Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.
23	And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24	And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
25	Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
26	And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.
27	But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.

Isaiah 59

1	Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
2	But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
3	For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
4	None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
5	They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
6	Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
7	Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
8	The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
9	Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
10	We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
11	We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
12	For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
13	In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14	And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
15	Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
16	And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
17	For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
18	According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.
19	So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
20	And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
21	As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and forever.

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.
