Psalm 134

1 Behold, bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord, which by night stand in the house of the Lord. 4 I
2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord. 15 I
3 The Lord that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion. 18 I

 

Numbers 15

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 10 I
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you, 10 I
3 And will make an offering by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the Lord, of the herd or of the flock: 10 I
4 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the Lord bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil. 10 I
5 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb. 10 I
6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil. 10 I
7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the Lord. 10 I
8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the Lord: 10 I
9 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil. 10 I
10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. 10 I
11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. 10 I
12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. 10 I
13 All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. 10 I
14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord; as ye do, so he shall do. 10 I
15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. 10 I
16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you. 10 I
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 10 I
18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, 10 I
19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the Lord. 9 I
20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it. 10 I
21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the Lord an heave offering in your generations. 10 I
22 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the Lord hath spoken unto Moses, 10 I
23 Even all that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations; 10 I
24 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the Lord, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering. 10 I
25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance: 10 I
26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance. 10 I
27 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. 10 I
28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. 10 I
29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. 10 I
30 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 10 I
31 Because he hath despised the word of the Lord, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him. 10 I
32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. 10 I
33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 10 I
34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. 10 I
35 And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. 10 I
36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses. 10 I
37 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 10 I
38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: 10 I
39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them ; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: 10 I
40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. 13 I
41 I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God. 12 I

 

Isaiah 54

1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. 3 I
5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. 4 I
6 For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 10 I
8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. 18 I
9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. 12 I
11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 10 I
14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 4 I
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 4 I
16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. 2 I
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. 2 I

 

1 Thessalonians 2

1 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 2 I
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 19 I
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: 2 I
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 5 I
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: 3 I
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us. 5 I
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. 2 I
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: 2 I
11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, 3 I
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 3 I
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. 10 I
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
