1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord. 4 I

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. 4 I

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised. 13 I

4 The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 14 I

5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high, 9 I

6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! 7 I

7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 5 I

8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 10 I

2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy. 15 I

3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God. 19 I

4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God. 12 I

5 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord, ye shall offer it at your own will. 10 I

6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire. 10 I

7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted. 10 I

8 Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 10 I

9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 10 I

10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God. 18 I

11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. 10 I

12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord. 14 I

13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. 10 I

14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord. 14 I

15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour. 12 I

16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the Lord. 10 I

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. 10 I

18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord. 41 I

19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. 10 I

20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 10 I

21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering. 10 I

22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the Lord for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him. 10 I

23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of. 10 I

24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the Lord withal. 10 I

25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the Lord your God. 10 I

26 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. 10 I

27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 10 I

28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord. 10 I

29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. 10 I

30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord. 36 I

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God. 10 I

32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord. 19 I

33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. 10 I

34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. 14 I

35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. 10 I

36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt. 12 I

37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the Lord. 10 I

1 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word. 2 I

4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 2 I

6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.

8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea. 6 I

15 Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea. 6 I

16 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.

17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

18 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.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

20 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.

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously. 8 I

1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 3 I

2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 I

3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 3 I

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 9 I

5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 7 I

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 12 I

7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 9 I

8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. 2 I

12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.

13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.

14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.

16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

17 They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.

18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.

19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, 6 I

20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 2 I

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 3 I

23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 3 I

24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 3 I

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 5 I

26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. 5 I

27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 7 I

29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. 6 I

30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. 3 I

31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. 3 I
