IMMANUEL

 

And the earth was without form,

and void; . . .

 

I

Yea God

 

     *

and darkness

was upon the face of the deep. . .

 

 

So God

    *

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

 

**

For God

 

And the evening and the morning were the first day.

*

And behold at eveningtide trouble;

 

and before the morning he is not.

 

*

And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram;

 

and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

*

and God went up from Abraham.

*

And Lot went up out of Zoar,

*

And Immanuel, when he was anointed with water, went up straightway:

*

And the dove came in to him in the evening;

and,

lo,

 

in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: . .

 

and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

**

and,

lo,

 

the

heavens were opened unto

 

him,

 

and

he saw

 

the Spirit of God

descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

And

lo

a voice from heaven, saying,

 

*

A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me;

he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.

My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.

 

Behold,

thou art fair,

my love;

behold,

thou art fair;

thou hast doves' eyes.

**

This is my beloved Son, in whom

I am

well pleased.

 

Then was Immanuel led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

 

And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights,

he was afterward an hungred.

    

**

And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs,

and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

And also that nation, whom they shall serve,

will I judge:

 

and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

**

This is the portion of them that spoil us, Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:

**

That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled

All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth,

 

see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.

 

For so the Lord said unto me,

 

I

will take my rest,

 

and

I

will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

*

The Lord IMMANEL will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people,

and the princes thereof:

 

for ye have eaten up the vineyard;

 

the

spoil

of the poor

is in

your houses.

What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor?

saith the

Lord God

 

of hosts

ISamuelYea.

 

 

 

 

 

**

 

and the lot of them that rob us.

*

And God made two great lights;

 

Eve

 

the greater light to rule the day,

 

Again

 

and the lesser light to rule the night:

 

Me

 

he made the stars also.

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

 

**

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,

*

After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram:

I am

thy

shield,

and thy exceeding great reward.

 

**

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number:

he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might,

for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

Why sayest thou,

O Jacob,

and speakest,

 

O Israel,

 

My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

 

Hast thou not known?

hast thou not heard,

that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?

 

there is no searching of his understanding.

 

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

 

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

 

*

. . . the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up,

 

and the windows of heaven were opened.

 

**

Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth;

 

and from thy face shall I be hid;

 

and

 

I

 

shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth;

 

and it shall come to pass, . . .

 

*

and they shall be one flesh.

 

*

. . . that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

*

And he said,

I

heard thy voice in the garden,

 

and I

was afraid, because

 

I

was naked;

 

and I

hid myself.

 

*

And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

**

 

And Adam said,

This is now bone of my bones,

 

and flesh

of

my flesh:

she shall be called Woman,

because she was taken out of Man.

 

**

and

I

hid myself.

*

whereof

I

commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

 

*

 

Sarai

 

and

good for food;

*

And there was a famine in the land:

and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there;

 

for the famine was grievous in the land.

 

And it came to pass,

when he was come near to enter into Egypt,

*

From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous.

But I said,

My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously;

yea,

the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

Fear,

 

and the pit,

 

and the snare,

 

are upon thee,

*

Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel,

Ah,

I

will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

 

*

O

inhabitant of the earth.

And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit;

 

and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare:

 

for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

 

The earth is utterly broken down,

 

the earth is clean dissolved,

 

the earth is moved exceedingly.

 

The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage;

 

and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall,

and not rise again.

**

 

that he

said unto

Sarai

his wife,

 

Behold now,

I

know

that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

**

And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight,

and good for food;

*

and gave also unto her husband

 

with her;

 

and he did eat.

  *

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife,

and hast eaten of the tree,

 

of which

I

commanded

 

thee,

saying,

Thou shalt not eat of it:

*

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,

**

 

cursed is the ground

 

for

 

thy sake;

 

in sorrow

 

shalt thou eat

of it

all the days of thy life;

 

Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;

 

and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

**

 

Then Job

answered

the

 

LORD Japheth,

 

and said,

I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. 

 

Who is he

that

hideth counsel without knowledge?

 

therefore have

I

uttered that

 

I

understood not;

 

things too wonderful for me, which

I

knew not. 

 

Hear,

I

beseech thee,

 

and

I

will speak:

 

I

will demand of thee,

 

and

declare thou unto me. 

 

I

have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear:

but now mine eye seeth thee.  Wherefore

I

abhor myself,

 

and repent in dust and ashes. 

 

And it was so,

 

that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job,

 

the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite,

 

My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends:

 

for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right,

 

as my servant Job hath. 

 

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams,

 

and go to my servant Job,

 

and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering;

 

and my servant Job shall pray for you:

 

for him will

 

I

accept:

 

lest

I deal with you after your folly,

 

in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right,

 

like my servant

Job.

*

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went,

 and did according as the LORD Job commanded them:

*

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job;

and that man was perfect and upright,

and one that feared God,

and eschewed evil.

 

*

 

the

 

LORD Nimrod

also

 

accepted Job.

 

And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends:

 

also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. 

 

*

he

began to be a mighty one in the earth.

 

*

So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:

 

*

and every fowl of the air;

 

and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them:

and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

**

He had also seven sons and three daughters. 

And he called the name of the first, Jemima;

 

and the name of the second, Kezia;

 

and the name of the third, Keren happuch. 

 

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job:

 

and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. 

 

After this lived Job an hundred and forty years,

and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

So Job died,

being old and full of days.

**********

 

And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good,

 

and gave it unto a young man;

and he hasted to dress it.

And he took butter,

and milk,

 

and

the calf which he had dressed,

and set it before

them;

 

and he stood by them under the tree,

 

and

they did eat.

 

*

 

Their bull gendereth, and faileth not;

 their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.

They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

*

And his brother's name was Jubal:

he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

 

**

 

They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

 

They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.

 

 

**

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,

*

but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

 

**

till thou

return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken:

 

for

dust thou art,

 

and

 unto dust shalt thou return.

 

Also

and thistles

shall it bring forth to thee;

 

and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

 

*

And God created great whales, and

*

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

 

*

every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly,

after their kind,

and every winged fowl after his kind:

and God saw that it was good.

 

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful,

and multiply,

and fill the waters in the seas,

and let fowl multiply in the earth.

 

 

*

These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands,

after their nations.

    

     These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations:

and by these were the nations divided in the earth

after the flood.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
