1
Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee.
10 I
2
Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
4 I
3
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
4
My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
5
By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
6
I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
7
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
4 I
8
Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
9
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
10
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
11
My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
12
But thou, O Lord, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
10 I
13
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
6 I
14
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
15
So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16
When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
2 I
17
He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
8 I
18
This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.
2 I
19
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth;
4 I
20
To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
21
To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
2 I
22
When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
23
He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
24
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
2 I
25
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
2 I
26
They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
10 I
27
But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
14 I
28
The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
3 I
Leviticus 9
1
And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
10 I
2
And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.
10 I
3
And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
10 I
4
Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the Lord will appear unto you.
10 I
5
And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the Lord.
10 I
6
And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you.
10 I
7
And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the Lord commanded.
10 I
8
Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
10 I
9
And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:
10 I
10
But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the Lord commanded Moses.
10 I
11
And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
10 I
12
And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
10 I
13
And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
10 I
14
And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.
10 I
15
And he brought the people’s offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
10 I
16
And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
10 I
17
And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
10 I
18
He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
10 I
19
And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:
10 I
20
And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
10 I
21
And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord; as Moses commanded.
10 I
22
And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
10 I
23
And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the people.
10 I
24
And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
10 I
Isaiah 7
1
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2
And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
3
Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field;
4
And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5
Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
6
Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:
7
Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
8
For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
9
And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
13 I
10
Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
11
Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
12
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.
13
And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
4 I
15
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
2 I
16
For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
17
The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
18
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19
And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
20
In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
21
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
22
And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
23
And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.
24
With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
25
And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
Isaiah 8
1
Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.
2
And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
3
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
4
For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
5
The Lord spake also unto me again, saying,
6
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
7
Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8
And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
9
Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10
Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
11
For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12
Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13
Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
5 I
14
And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17
And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
7 I
18
Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
2 I
19
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
8 I
21
And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22
And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
2 Corinthians 4
8
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
15 I
9
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
11 I
10
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
14 I
11
For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
5 I
12
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
4 I
13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
11 I
15
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
5 I
16
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
21 I
17
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
19 I
18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
31 I
1
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 I
4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
12 I
5
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
5 I
6
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
20 I
7
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 I
2 Corinthians 5
1
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
9 I
2
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
7 I
3
If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
3 I
4
For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
3 I
5
Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
5 I
6
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
15 I
8
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
10 I
9
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
12 I
10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
17 I
