9:1And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; 9:2and he said unto Aaron, Take thee a calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, without blemish, and offer them before Jehovah. 9:3And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a he-goat for a sin-offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, without blemish, for a burnt-offering; 9:4and an ox and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah; and a meal-offering mingled with oil: for to-day Jehovah appeareth unto you. 9:5And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting: and all the congregation drew near and stood before Jehovah. 9:6And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah commanded that ye should do: and the glory of Jehovah shall appear unto you. 9:7And Moses said unto Aaron, Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people; and offer the oblation of the people, and make atonement for them; as Jehovah commanded.
9:8So Aaron drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself. 9:9And the sons of Aaron presented the blood unto him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar: 9:10but the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul from the liver of the sin-offering, he burnt upon the altar; as Jehovah commanded Moses. 9:11And the flesh and the skin he burnt with fire without the camp.
9:12And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron's sons delivered unto him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon the altar round about. 9:13And they delivered the burnt-offering unto him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar. 9:14And he washed the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt-offering on the altar.
9:15And he presented the people's oblation, and took the goat of the sin-offering which was for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first. 9:16And he presented the burnt-offering, and offered it according to the ordinance. 9:17And he presented the meal-offering, and filled his hand therefrom, and burnt it upon the altar, besides the burnt-offering of the morning.
9:18He slew also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons delivered unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about, 9:19and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver: 9:20and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar: 9:21and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave-offering before Jehovah; as Moses commanded.
9:22And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings. 9:23And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto all the people. 9:24And there came forth fire from before Jehovah, and consumed upon the altar the burnt-offering and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
10:1Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah?
Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
10:2In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued;
Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
10:3For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire,
And the covetous renounceth, yea, contemneth Jehovah.
10:4The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith, He will not require it.
All his thoughts are, There is no God.
10:5His ways are firm at all times;
Thy judgments are far above out of his sight:
As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
10:6He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved;
To all generations I shall not be in adversity.
10:7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression:
Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
10:8He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages;
In the secret places doth he murder the innocent;
His eyes are privily set against the helpless.
10:9He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert;
He lieth in wait to catch the poor:
He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.
10:10He croucheth, he boweth down,
And the helpless fall by his strong ones.
10:11He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten;
He hideth his face; he will never see it.
10:12Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand:
Forget not the poor.
10:13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God,
And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it?
10:14Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand:
The helpless committeth himself unto thee;
Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
10:15Break thou the arm of the wicked;
And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
10:16Jehovah is King for ever and ever:
The nations are perished out of his land.
10:17Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek:
Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;
10:18To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.
24:1Be not thou envious against evil men;
Neither desire to be with them:
24:2For their heart studieth oppression,
And their lips talk of mischief.
24:3Through wisdom is a house builded;
And by understanding it is established;
24:4And by knowledge are the chambers filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
24:5A wise man is strong;
Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might
24:6For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war;
And in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
24:7Wisdom is too high for a fool:
He openeth not his mouth in the gate.
24:8He that deviseth to do evil,
Men shall call him a mischief-maker.
24:9The thought of foolishness is sin;
And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
24:10If thou faint in the day of adversity,
Thy strength is small.
24:11Deliver them that are carried away unto death,
And those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.
24:12If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this;
Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it?
And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?
And shall not he render to every man according to his work?
24:13My son, eat thou honey, for it is good;
And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:
24:14So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul;
If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward,
And thy hope shall not be cut off.
24:15Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous;
Destroy not his resting-place:
24:16For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again;
But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
24:17Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth,
And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown;
24:18Lest Jehovah see it, and it displease him,
And he turn away his wrath from him.
24:19Fret not thyself because of evil-doers;
Neither be thou envious at the wicked:
24:20For there shall be no reward to the evil man;
The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
24:21My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king;
And company not with them that are given to change:
24:22For their calamity shall rise suddenly;
And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it?
24:23These also are sayings of the wise.
To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
24:24He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous;
Peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him:
24:25But to them that rebuke him shall be delight,
And a good blessing shall come upon them.
24:26He kisseth the lips
Who giveth a right answer.
24:27Prepare thy work without,
And make it ready for thee in the field;
And afterwards build thy house.
24:28Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause;
And deceive not with thy lips.
24:29Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me;
I will render to the man according to his work.
24:30I went by the field of the sluggard,
And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
24:31And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns,
The face thereof was covered with nettles,
And the stone wall thereof was broken down.
24:32Then I beheld, and considered well;
I saw, and received instruction:
24:33Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep;
24:34So shall thy poverty come as a robber,
And thy want as an armed man.
3:1Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone; 3:2and sent Timothy, our brother and God's minister in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith; 3:3that no man be moved by these afflictions; for yourselves know that hereunto we are appointed. 3:4For verily, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction; even as it came to pass, and ye know. 3:5For this cause I also, when I could no longer forbear, sent that I might know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain. 3:6But when Timothy came even now unto us from you, and brought us glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, even as we also to see you; 3:7for this cause, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith: 3:8for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 3:9For what thanksgiving can we render again unto God for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God; 3:10night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith? 3:11Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto you: 3:12and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you; 3:13to the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
