I
said,
I would scatter them into corners, I
would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
Were it not that I feared the wrath
of the enemy, lest their adversaries
should behave themselves strangely,
and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.
For they are a nation void of counsel,
neither is there any understanding in
them.
O
that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
***
For if ye forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive
you: But if ye forgive not men
their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your
trespasses.
***
And Nathan departed unto his house. And the Lord struck
the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David,
and it was very sick.
David therefore
besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night
upon the earth.
And the elders of his house arose, and went to
him, to raise him up from the earth:
but he would
not, neither did he eat bread with them.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died.
And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was
dead:
for they said, Behold,
while the child was yet alive, we spake
unto him, and he would not hearken
unto our voice:
how
will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
*****
But when
David saw that his servants
whispered, David perceived that the
child was dead:
therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead?
And they said, He is dead.
*****
Then
David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped:
then he came to his own house;
and when he required, they set bread before him,
and he did eat.
*****
Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done?
thou
didst fast and weep for the child,
while it was alive;
but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat
bread.
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who
can tell whether God will be gracious to
me, that the child may live?
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast?
can I bring him back again?
I
shall
go to him, but he shall not return to me.
***
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
countenance:
for
they
disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They
have their reward.
But
thou,
when thou fastest,
anoint thine head,
and wash thy face;
That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in
secret:
and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
***
And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called
Moses up to the top of the mount;
and Moses went up.
And the Lord said unto
Moses, Go down, charge the people,
lest they break through unto the
Lord to gaze, and many of them perish.
And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them.
And Moses said unto the
Lord, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai:
for
thou
chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
And the Lord said unto
him, Away, get thee down,
and thou shalt come up,
thou,
and Aaron with thee:
but let not the priests and the people break
through to come up unto the Lord, lest
he break forth upon them.
So
Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
*****
Lay
not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth
and rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal:
***
Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in
your heart and in your soul, and
bind them for a sign upon your hand,
that
they
may be as frontlets between your eyes.
And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in
thine house, and when thou walkest
by the way, when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy
gates:
That
your
days may be multiplied, and the days of
your children, in the land which
the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
*****
But
lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
*****
For
God
doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
*****
The light of the body
is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body
shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body
shall be full of darkness.
If
therefore the light that is in thee be
darkness, how great is that darkness!
***
And
the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of
the garden:
But
of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
***
And the people answered
and said, God forbid that we should
forsake the Lord, to serve other gods;
For the Lord our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we
passed:
And the Lord drave out
from before us all the people, even
the Amorites which dwelt in the land:
therefore will we also serve the Lord;
for he is our God. And Joshua said unto the people,
Ye cannot serve the Lord:
***
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto
his brethren.
And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
God
shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

***
And
Joshua said unto the people,
Ye cannot serve the Lord:
No
man
can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one,
and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one,
and despise the other.
***
And he said, Blessed be the Lord God
of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
***
Ye cannot serve
God and mammon.
Therefore I say unto you,
Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink;
nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
Is
not
the life more than meat, and the body
than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
***
Against
whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth,
and draw out the tongue?
are
ye not children of transgression,
a
seed of falsehood,
Enflaming yourselves
with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
Among
the
smooth stones of the stream is thy portion;
they,
they
are thy lot:
even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
***
Are
ye
not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one
cubit unto his stature?
***
Now
when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold,
thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee,
saith the Lord God, and thou
becamest mine.
Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and
I anointed thee with oil.
I
clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded
thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
I
decked thee also
with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings
in thine ears, and a beautiful crown
upon thine head.
Thus
wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk,
and broidered work;
thou
didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful,
and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
***
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the
field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven,
shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
***
And if
ye shall say, What shall we eat
the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
Then
I
will command my blessing upon you in the sixth
year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
And
ye
shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth
year;
until
her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.
The
land shall not be sold for ever:
for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
***
Therefore take no thought, saying, What
shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothed?
***
Now
these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born
after the flood.
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and
Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath,
and Togarmah.
And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish,
Kittim, and Dodanim.
By
these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their
lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their
nations.
***
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse,
which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the
Gentiles seek:
and his rest shall be glorious.
*****
(For after all these
things do the Gentiles seek:)
***
And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off:
***
And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks
and herds with young are with me:
and if men
should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
Let
my lord, I pray thee,
pass over before his servant:
and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to
endure,
until
I come unto my lord
unto Seir.
*****
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
***
And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, .
***
His
mischief shall return
upon his own head, and his violent
dealing shall come down upon his own
pate.
I
will praise the Lord according to his righteousness:
and will
sing praise to the name of the Lord most high
***
Gather
my saints together unto me;
those
that
have made a covenant with me by
sacrifice.
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness:
for
God is judge himself.
Selah.
*****
But
seek
ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added
unto you.
***
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 repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, . . .
***
Wherefore
I
abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
*****
Take therefore no thought for the morrow:
for the morrow shall take thought for the things
of itself. Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof.
Judge
not,
that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or
how
wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Thou
hypocrite, first cast
out the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's
eye.
***
And ye shall be holy men unto me:
neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field;
ye shall cast it to the dogs.
***
Give
not
that which is holy unto the dogs,
***
As
a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
The
desire of the righteous
is only good:
***
neither cast ye your
pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet,
and turn again and rend you.
***
I
sleep, but my
heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh,
saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled:
for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
***
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth; and to him
that knocketh it shall be opened.
Or
what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
***
To
every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
***
And they shall be broken in the purposes
thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.
Surely
the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish:
how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the
wise, the son of ancient kings?
***
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
***
For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be
as gods, knowing good and evil.
*****
If ye then, being evil, know
how to give good gifts unto your children,
how much more shall your Father
which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
***
This
is the law of the burnt
offering, of the meat offering,
and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law
and the prophets.

and he sat in the tent door in the heat of
the day;

And there came two angels to Sodom at even;
and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom:
*****
Enter
ye
in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad
is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go
in thereat:
Because
strait is the gate, and narrow is
the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Her
princes in the midst

And
they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick,
and burn them throughly.
And they had brick for stone, and slime had they
for mortar.
And
they said, Go to,
let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may
reach unto heaven;
***
her
prophets have daubed
them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies
unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken.
*****
Beware
of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves.
***
Ye
shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even
so
every good tree bringeth forth good fruit;
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A
good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither
can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every
tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.
Wherefore
by their fruits ye shall know them.
***
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart:
and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to
come.
He
shall enter into peace:
they
shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
***
Not
every one that saith
unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
***
Ye
which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us
horns by our own strength?
But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the
God of hosts;
and they shall afflict you from the
entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
***
Many
will say to me in that day, Lord,
Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils?
and
in thy name done many wonderful works?
***
in-eq-ui-ty (in-ekwi-te)n.pl. in-eq-ui-ties. 1.
Injustice; unfairness. 2. An instance of injustice or unfairness: discerned
some inequities in the criminal justice system.
