1
O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
14 I
2
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
10 I
3
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
6 I
4
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
32 I
5
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
10 I
6
That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
8 I
7
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
2 I
8
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
11 I
13
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
12 I
Leviticus 14
33
And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
10 I
34
When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;
10 I
35
And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:
10 I
36
Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
10 I
37
And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;
10 I
38
Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
10 I
39
And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
10 I
40
Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
10 I
41
And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:
10 I
42
And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
10 I
43
And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
10 I
44
Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.
10 I
45
And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
10 I
46
Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
10 I
47
And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
10 I
48
And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
10 I
49
And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
10 I
50
And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
10 I
51
And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
10 I
52
And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
10 I
53
But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
10 I
54
This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
10 I
55
And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
10 I
56
And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
10 I
57
To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
10 I
Isaiah 17
1
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2
The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
3
The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts.
4
And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
5
And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6
Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel.
7
At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8
And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
9
In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
10
Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
11
In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12
Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13
The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
2 I
14
And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
Isaiah 18
1
Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
2
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!
3
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.
4
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.
2 I
5
For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
6
They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7
In that time shall the present be brought unto the Lord of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion.
2 Corinthians 12
16
But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17
Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
18
I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
19
Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
20
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21
And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
14
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
2 Corinthians 13
1
This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2
I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
3
Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4 I
4
For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
15 I
5
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
39 I
6
But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7
Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
9 I
8
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
11 I
9
For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
9 I
10
Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
11
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
5 I
12
Greet one another with an holy kiss.
13
All the saints salute you.
13 I
14
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
