32:1Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak;
And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
32:2My doctrine shall drop as the rain;
My speech shall distil as the dew,
As the small rain upon the tender grass,
And as the showers upon the herb.
32:3For I will proclaim the name of Jehovah:
Ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
32:4The Rock, his work is perfect;
For all his ways are justice:
A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,
Just and right is he.
32:5They have dealt corruptly with him, they are not his children, it is their blemish;
They are a perverse and crooked generation.
32:6Do ye thus requite Jehovah,
O foolish people and unwise?
Is not he thy father that hath bought thee?
He hath made thee, and established thee.
32:7Remember the days of old,
Consider the years of many generations:
Ask thy father, and he will show thee;
Thine elders, and they will tell thee.
32:8When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,
When he separated the children of men,
He set the bounds of the peoples
According to the number of the children of Israel.
32:9For Jehovah's portion is his people;
Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
32:10He found him in a desert land,
And in the waste howling wilderness;
He compassed him about, he cared for him,
He kept him as the apple of his eye.
32:11As an eagle that stirreth up her nest,
That fluttereth over her young,
He spread abroad his wings, he took them,
He bare them on his pinions.
32:12Jehovah alone did lead him,
And there was no foreign god with him.
32:13He made him ride on the high places of the earth,
And he did eat the increase of the field;
And he made him to suck honey out of the rock,
And oil out of the flinty rock;
32:14Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock,
With fat of lambs,
And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
With the finest of the wheat;
And of the blood of the grape thou drankest wine.
32:15But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked:
Thou art waxed fat, thou art grown thick, thou art become sleek;
Then he forsook God who made him,
And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
32:16They moved him to jealousy with strange gods;
With abominations provoked they him to anger.
32:17They sacrificed unto demons, which were no God,
To gods that they knew not,
To new gods that came up of late,
Which your fathers dreaded not.
32:18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,
And hast forgotten God that gave thee birth.
32:19And Jehovah saw it, and abhorred them,
Because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
32:20And he said, I will hide my face from them,
I will see what their end shall be:
For they are a very perverse generation,
Children in whom is no faithfulness.
32:21They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God;
They have provoked me to anger with their vanities:
And I will move them to jealousy with those that are not a people;
I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
32:22For a fire is kindled in mine anger,
And burneth unto the lowest Sheol,
And devoureth the earth with its increase,
And setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains.
32:23I will heap evils upon them;
I will spend mine arrows upon them:
32:24They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat
And bitter destruction;
And the teeth of beasts will I send upon them,
With the poison of crawling things of the dust.
32:25Without shall the sword bereave,
And in the chambers terror;
It shall destroy both young man and virgin,
The suckling with the man of gray hairs.
32:26I said, I would scatter them afar,
I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;
32:27Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy,
Lest their adversaries should judge amiss,
Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted,
And Jehovah hath not done all this.
32:28For they are a nation void of counsel,
And there is no understanding in them.
32:29Oh that they were wise, that they understood this,
That they would consider their latter end!
32:30How should one chase a thousand,
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Except their Rock had sold them,
And Jehovah had delivered them up?
32:31For their rock is not as our Rock,
Even our enemies themselves being judges.
32:32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,
And of the fields of Gomorrah:
Their grapes are grapes of gall,
Their clusters are bitter:
32:33Their wine is the poison of serpents,
And the cruel venom of asps.
32:34Is not this laid up in store with me,
Sealed up among my treasures?
32:35Vengeance is mine, and recompense,
At the time when their foot shall slide:
For the day of their calamity is at hand,
And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.
32:36For Jehovah will judge his people,
And repent himself for his servants;
When he seeth that their power is gone,
And there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.
32:37And he will say, Where are their gods,
The rock in which they took refuge;
32:38Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices,
And drank the wine of their drink-offering?
Let them rise up and help you,
Let them be your protection.
32:39See now that I, even I, am he,
And there is no god with me:
I kill, and I make alive;
I wound, and I heal;
And there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
32:40For I lift up my hand to heaven,
And say, As I live for ever,
32:41If I whet my glittering sword,
And my hand take hold on judgment;
I will render vengeance to mine adversaries,
And will recompense them that hate me.
32:42I will make mine arrows drunk with blood,
And my sword shall devour flesh;
With the blood of the slain and the captives,
From the head of the leaders of the enemy.
32:43Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people:
For he will avenge the blood of his servants,
And will render vengeance to his adversaries,
And will make expiation for his land, for his people.
32:44And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun. 32:45And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel; 32:46And he said unto them, Set your heart unto all the words which I testify unto you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, even all the words of this law. 32:47For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.
32:48And Jehovah spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying, 32:49Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession; 32:50and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people: 32:51because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel. 32:52For thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give the children of Israel.
AYIN.
119:121I have done justice and righteousness:
Leave me not to mine oppressors.
119:122Be surety for thy servant for good:
Let not the proud oppress me.
119:123Mine eyes fail for thy salvation,
And for thy righteous word.
119:124Deal with thy servant according unto thy lovingkindness,
And teach me thy statutes.
119:125I am thy servant; give me understanding,
That I may know thy testimonies.
119:126It is time for Jehovah to work;
For they have made void thy law.
119:127Therefore I love thy commandments
Above gold, yea, above fine gold.
119:128Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right;
And I hate every false way.
PE.
119:129Thy testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore doth my soul keep them.
119:130The opening of thy words giveth light;
It giveth understanding unto the simple.
119:131I opened wide my mouth, and panted;
For I longed for thy commandments.
119:132Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me,
As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
119:133Establish my footsteps in thy word;
And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
119:134Redeem me from the oppression of man:
So will I observe thy precepts.
119:135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant;
And teach me thy statutes.
119:136Streams of water run down mine eyes,
Because they observe not thy law.
TSADHE.
119:137Righteous art thou, O Jehovah,
And upright *are thy judgments.
119:138Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness
And very faithfulness.
119:139My zeal hath *consumed me,
Because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words.
119:140Thy word is very *pure;
Therefore thy servant loveth it.
119:141I am small and despised;
Yet do I not forget thy precepts.
119:142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
And thy law is truth.
119:143Trouble and anguish have *taken hold on me;
Yet thy commandments are my delight.
119:144Thy testimonies are righteous for ever:
Give me understanding, and I shall live.
59:1Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 59:2but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, so that he will not hear. 59:3For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness. 59:4None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 59:5They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. 59:6Their 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. 59:7Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths. 59:8The way of peace they know not; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace. 59:9Therefore is justice far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity. 59:10We grope for the wall like the blind; yea, we grope as they that have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among them that are lusty we are as dead men. 59:11We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. 59:12For 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: 59:13transgressing and denying Jehovah, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 59:14And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. 59:15Yea, truth is lacking; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice. 59:16And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it upheld him. 59:17And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle. 59:18According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense. 59:19So shall they fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of Jehovah driveth. 59:20And a Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith Jehovah. 59:21And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith Jehovah: 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 Jehovah, from henceforth and for ever.
7:1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 7:2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. 7:3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 7:4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? 7:5Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
7:6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.
7:7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 7:8for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 7:9Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; 7:10or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? 7:11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 7:12All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.
7:13Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. 7:14For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.
7:15Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 7:16By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 7:17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 7:18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 7:19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 7:20Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 7:21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. 7:22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? 7:23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
7:24Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock: 7:25and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. 7:26And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: 7:27and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.
7:28And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching: 7:29for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
