And
God - made
two - great lights;
the greater
light to
rule the day,
and
the lesser
light to
rule the night: . . .
**
And
God said, Let there
be
light:
and
there was light.

And
Noah awoke
from
his wine,
and
knew what his
younger son
had done unto him. . . .
**
And there
was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and
drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
And there came a
messenger unto Job,
and said,
The oxen
were plowing, and the asses feeding
beside them:
And the Sabeans
fell upon them, and took them away;
yea,
they have slain
the servants with the edge of
the sword; and I only am escaped -
alone to tell thee.
**
And
he said,
Cursed
be
Canaan;
a servant - of
servants shall he be unto his brethren.
**
After
this - opened - Job
–
his mouth,
and
cursed his day.
And
Job spake,
and
said,
Let
the day
perish wherein
I was
born,
and the night in which it was said,
There is a man
child conceived.
Let
that day be darkness;
let
not
God regard it from above,
neither let the light
shine
upon it.
Let
darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it;
let the blackness
of the day terrify it.
*
And
God saw the light,
that it was good:
and
God divided the light -
from - the darkness.
**
And God said, Let the
waters bring forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life, and fowl
that
may fly above the earth in the open
firmament of
heaven.

And
Shem
and Japheth took a garment, and laid
it upon both their
shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father;
**
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Yea,
they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should
hear the law, and the words which the Lord
of hosts hath sent in his spirit by
the former prophets:
therefore
came a great wrath from the Lord
of hosts.
***
I have trodden the winepress alone;
and
of the people there was none with me: for I
will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall
be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
For
the day
of
vengeance is
in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed
is come.
And
I looked,
and
there was
none to help;
and I
wondered
that there was none
to uphold: therefore mine own arm
brought salvation unto me;
and my
fury,
it upheld
me.
And
I will tread down the people in
mine
anger, and make them drunk in my fury,
and I
will bring down their strength to the earth.
I
will mention the
lovingkindnesses
of the Lord, and the praises
of
the Lord, according to all that the
Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great
goodness toward the house of Israel,
which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies,
and according to the multitude
of
his lovingkindnesses.
*
And
when he had gathered all the chief priests and
scribes of the people together,
he demanded
of them where Emmanuel the Christ should be born.
And
they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea:
for thus it is
written by the prophet,
And
thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor,
that shall rule
my people Israel.
*
For he said,
Surely
they are my people,
children that will not lie: so he was their
Saviour.
