times. And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he

These shall first set forth. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever
he went. And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I
remove Abimelech. And it came to pass, when all the kings of the
Amorites, which [were] on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings
of the Canaanites, which [were] by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried
up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were
passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them
any more, because of the children of Israel. And it shall come to pass,
[that] when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be
clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles
they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within. But if, while
we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners,
[is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? For thou saidst, What
advantage will it be unto thee? Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within
me; my heart within me is desolate. O death, where [is] thy sting? And
the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the
multitude melted away, and they went on beating down [one another]. And
the beeves [were] thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD’S tribute
[was] threescore and twelve. And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David,
The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the
Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. And when Peter saw
[it], he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at
this? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be
thrown down. Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and
[there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me, Declaring
the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are
not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my
pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth
my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken [it], I will also bring
it to pass; I have purposed [it], I will also do it. But if thou shalt
indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy
unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. For whom he
did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of
his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. [Let]
nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind
let each esteem other better than themselves. At destruction and famine
thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the
earth. My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with
the skin of my teeth. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom
resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are
accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Then the tribe of
Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad [shall be] Eliasaph the son of
Reuel. And David [was] then in the hold, and the Philistines’ garrison
[was] then at Bethlehem. And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim
two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. Woe unto
thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? And Abraham said, Because
I thought, Surely the fear of God [is] not in this place; and they will
slay me for my wife’s sake. And why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one
question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these
things. Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
They have heard that I sigh: [there is] none to comfort me: all mine
enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done [it]:
thou wilt bring the day [that] thou hast called, and they shall be like
unto me. Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the
young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil?
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did
esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. I remembered God, and
was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Pardon, I
beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of
thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until
now. The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they
declare their sin as Sodom, they hide [it] not. But he answered and said
unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and
there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so
shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the
earth. As a snail [which] melteth, let [every one of them] pass away:
[like] the untimely birth of a woman, [that] they may not see the sun.
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an
ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall
be glorious. Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written,
He gave them bread from heaven to eat. When wisdom entereth into thine
heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve
thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the
evil [man], from the man that speaketh froward things; Who leave the
paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice to do
evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of the wicked; Whose ways [are]
crooked, and [they] froward in their paths: To deliver thee from the
strange woman, [even] from the stranger [which] flattereth with her
words; Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the
covenant of her God. And not to be set on a candlestick? To crush under
his feet all the prisoners of the earth, To turn aside the right of a man
before the face of the most High, To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord
approveth not. And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent,
and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is
bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. But he himself went a
day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a
juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said,
It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I [am] not better than
my fathers. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come;
and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with
me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land [is] before thee: whither
it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go. And David took
the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought
them to Jerusalem. And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest
deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? Where the word of
a king [is, there is] power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man. And he caused
his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom:
also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and
dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in
the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. Truly the light [is]
sweet, and a pleasant [thing it is] for the eyes to behold the sun: But
if a man live many years, [and] rejoice in them all; yet let him remember
the days of darkness; for they shall be many. Thus far [is] the judgment
of Moab. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I
observed from my youth. But if he wash [them] not, nor bathe his flesh;
then he shall bear his iniquity. And [some] of them, [even] of the sons
of Simeon, five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for their
captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of
Ishi. Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani,
Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, [and] Chenani, and cried with
a loud voice unto the LORD their God. And the sons of Hananiah; Pelatiah,
and Jesaiah: the sons of Rephaiah, the sons of Arnan, the sons of
Obadiah, the sons of Shechaniah. Also he took away out of all the cities
of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before
him. Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come
down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, As [when] the
melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy
name known to thine adversaries, [that] the nations may tremble at thy
presence! When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for, thou
camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. Now therefore
hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I
teach you, for to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the
land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. But we believe that
through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as
they. I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? So shalt thou put
away the [guilt of] innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do
[that which is] right in the sight of the LORD. And it shall be done.
Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, [if]
thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. And
when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of
the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? And it came to pass
about ten days [after], that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died. And
Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee
on the water. And if [it be] from five years old even unto twenty years
old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the
female ten shekels. So all the generations from Abraham to David [are]
fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon
[are] fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto
Christ [are] fourteen generations. If thou wilt send our brother with us,
we will go down and buy thee food: But if thou wilt not send [him], we
will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face,
except your brother [be] with you. So David brought not the ark [home] to
himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of
Obededom the Gittite. And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen,
neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell
safely, and none shall make [them] afraid. All the land shall be turned
as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted
up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of
the first gate, unto the corner gate, and [from] the tower of Hananeel
unto the king’s winepresses. These things have I written unto you that
