9:1Then Jehovah said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 9:2For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still, 9:3behold, the hand of Jehovah is upon thy cattle which are in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the herds, and upon the flocks: there shall be a very grievous murrain. 9:4And Jehovah shall make a distinction between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that belongeth to the children of Israel. 9:5And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow Jehovah shall do this thing in the land. 9:6And Jehovah 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. 9:7And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he did not let the people go.
9:8And Jehovah said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. 9:9And it shall become small dust over 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. 9:10And 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. 9:11And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. 9:12And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them, as Jehovah had spoken unto Moses. 9:13And Jehovah said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 9:14For I will this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. 9:15For now I had put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou hadst been cut off from the earth: 9:16but in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand, to show thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. 9:17As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go? 9:18Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now. 9:19Now therefore send, hasten in thy cattle and all that thou hast in the field; for every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die. 9:20He that feared the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses. 9:21And he that regarded not the word of Jehovah left his servants and his cattle in the field.
9:22And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch forth thy 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. 9:23And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and Jehovah sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down unto the earth; and Jehovah rained hail upon the land of Egypt. 9:24So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 9:25And 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 brake every tree of the field. 9:26Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
9:27And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. 9:28Entreat Jehovah; for there hath been enough of these mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. 9:29And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto Jehovah; the thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah's. 9:30But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear Jehovah God. 9:31And the flax and the barley were smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom. 9:32But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten: for they were not grown up. 9:33And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto Jehovah: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth. 9:34And 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. 9:35And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
12:1In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trod one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 12:2But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 12:3Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 12:4And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 12:5But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. 12:6Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God. 12:7But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 12:8And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 12:9but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God. 12:10And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven. 12:11And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 12:12for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say. 12:13And one out of the multitude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me. 12:14But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 12:15And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 12:16And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 12:17and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits? 12:18And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods. 12:19And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry. 12:20But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? 12:21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. 12:22And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. 12:23For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment. 12:24Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds! 12:25And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life? 12:26If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest? 12:27Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 12:28But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more shall he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 12:29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 12:30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 12:31Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you. 12:32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 12:33Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth. 12:34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 12:35Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning; 12:36and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him. 12:37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them. 12:38And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so blessed are those servants. 12:39But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through. 12:40Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh. 12:41And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all? 12:42And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? 12:43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 12:44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. 12:45But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 12:46the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful. 12:47And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes; 12:48but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more. 12:49I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled? 12:50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 12:51Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 12:52for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 12:53They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law. 12:54And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass. 12:55And when ye see a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass. 12:56Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time? 12:57And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? 12:58For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison. 12:59I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite.
27:1And Job again took up his parable, and said,
27:2As God liveth, who hath taken away my right,
And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul:
27:3(For my life is yet whole in me,
And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
27:4Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness,
Neither shall my tongue utter deceit.
27:5Far be it from me that I should justify you:
Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
27:6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go:
My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
27:7Let mine enemy be as the wicked,
And let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.
27:8For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain,
When God taketh away his soul?
27:9Will God hear his cry,
When trouble cometh upon him?
27:10Will he delight himself in the Almighty,
And call upon God at all times?
27:11I will teach you concerning the hand of God;
That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
27:12Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it;
Why then are ye become altogether vain?
27:13This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:
27:14If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
27:15Those that remain of him shall be buried in death,
And his widows shall make no lamentation.
27:16Though he heap up silver as the dust,
And prepare raiment as the clay;
27:17He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on,
And the innocent shall divide the silver.
27:18He buildeth his house as the moth,
And as a booth which the keeper maketh.
27:19He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers;
He openeth his eyes, and he is not.
27:20Terrors overtake him like waters;
A tempest stealeth him away in the night.
27:21The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth;
And it sweepeth him out of his place.
27:22For God shall hurl at him, and not spare:
He would fain flee out of his hand.
27:23Men shall clap their hands at him,
And shall hiss him out of his place.
13:1If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 13:2And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 13:3And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. 13:4Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 13:5doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; 13:6rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; 13:7beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 13:8Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. 13:9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 13:10but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. 13:11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. 13:12For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. 13:13But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
