2:1Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Jehovah spake unto me; and we compassed mount Seir many days. 2:2And Jehovah spake unto me, saying, 2:3Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. 2:4And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore; 2:5contend not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession. 2:6Ye shall purchase food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink. 2:7For Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand; he hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Jehovah thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing. 2:8So we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber.
And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab. 2:9And Jehovah said unto me, Vex not Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give thee of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession. 2:10(The Emim dwelt therein aforetime, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim: 2:11these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim. 2:12The Horites also dwelt in Seir aforetime, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which Jehovah gave unto them.) 2:13Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered. 2:14And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, were thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah sware unto them. 2:15Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
2:16So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people, 2:17that Jehovah spake unto me, saying, 2:18Thou art this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab: 2:19and when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, vex them not, nor contend with them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. 2:20(That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim dwelt therein aforetime; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim, 2:21a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Jehovah destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead; 2:22as he did for the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day: 2:23and the Avvim, that dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, that came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.) 2:24Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon: behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. 2:25This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
2:26And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 2:27Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither unto the right hand nor to the left. 2:28Thou shalt sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my feet, 2:29as the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, and the Moabites that dwell in Ar, did unto me; until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us. 2:30But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day. 2:31And Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land. 2:32Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, unto battle at Jahaz. 2:33And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. 2:34And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining: 2:35only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken. 2:36From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, even unto Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; Jehovah our God delivered up all before us: 2:37only to the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wheresoever Jehovah our God forbade us.
A song. A Psalm of Asaph.
83:1O God, keep not thou silence:
Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
83:2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult;
And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
83:3Thy take crafty counsel against thy people,
And consult together against thy hidden ones.
83:4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
83:5For they have consulted together with one consent;
Against thee do they make a covenant:
83:6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab, and the Hagarenes;
83:7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:
83:8Assyria also is joined with them;
They have *helped the children of Lot.
Selah
83:9Do thou unto them as unto Midian,
As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
83:10Who perished at Endor,
Who became as dung for the earth.
83:11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb;
Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
83:12Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession
The *habitations of God.
83:13O my God, make them like the whirling dust;
As stubble before the wind.
83:14As the fire that burneth the forest,
And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,
83:15So pursue them with thy tempest,
And terrify them with thy storm.
83:16Fill their faces with confusion,
That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
83:17Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever;
Yea, let them be confounded and perish;
83:18That they may know that *thou alone, whose name is Jehovah,
Art the Most High over all the earth.
For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
84:1How *amiable are thy tabernacles,
O Jehovah of hosts!
84:2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah;
My heart and my flesh *cry out unto the living God.
84:3Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts,
My King, and my God.
84:4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:
They will be still praising thee.
Selah
84:5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;
In whose heart are the highways to Zion.
84:6Passing through the valley of *Weeping they make it a place of springs;
Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.
84:7They go from strength to strength;
Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
84:8O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob.
Selah
84:9*Behold, O God our shield,
And look upon the face of thine anointed.
84:10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.
I had rather *be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
84:11For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield:
Jehovah will give grace and glory;
No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
84:12O Jehovah of hosts,
Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
30:1Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin, 30:2that set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt! 30:3Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. 30:4For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors are come to Hanes. 30:5They shall all be ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. 30:6The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit them. 30:7For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth still. 30:8Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever. 30:9For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah; 30:10that say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits, 30:11get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. 30:12Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely thereon; 30:13therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly in an instant. 30:14And he shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd wherewith to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern. 30:15For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not: 30:16but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. 30:17One thousand shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill. 30:18And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for him. 30:19For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; thou shalt weep no more; he will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear, he will answer thee. 30:20And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers; 30:21and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 30:22And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as an unclean thing; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. 30:23And he will give the rain for thy seed, wherewith thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures; 30:24the oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork. 30:25And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 30:26Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. 30:27Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire; 30:28and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples. 30:29Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel. 30:30And Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstones. 30:31For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be dismayed; with his rod will he smite him. 30:32And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with the sound of tabrets and harps; and in battles with the brandishing of his arm will he fight with them. 30:33For a Topheth is prepared of old; yea, for the king it is made ready; he hath made it deep and large; the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
1:1Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ: 1:2Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. 1:3Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints. 1:4For there are certain men crept in privily, even they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 1:5Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 1:6And angels that kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he hath kept in everlasting bonds under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 1:7Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. 1:8Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion, and rail at dignities. 1:9But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 1:10But these rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed. 1:11Woe unto them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah. 1:12These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 1:13Wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved forever. 1:14And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones, 1:15to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. 1:16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaketh great swelling words), showing respect of persons for the sake of advantage. 1:17But ye, beloved, remember ye the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 1:18That they said to you, In the last time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts. 1:19These are they who make separations, sensual, having not the Spirit. 1:20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 1:21keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 1:22And on some have mercy, who are in doubt; 1:23and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 1:24Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy, 1:25to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for evermore. Amen.
