Psalm 145

1 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 6 I
2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 6 I
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 6 I
4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 4 I
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 6 I
6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. 2 I
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. 12 I
8 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. 41 I
9 The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. 8 I
10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee. 32 I
11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; 2 I
12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 2 I
13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. 2 I
14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. 7 I
15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. 12 I
16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. 6 I
17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. 2 I
18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 26 I
19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. 14 I
20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. 20 I
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

 

Numbers 31

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 10 I
2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people. 10 I
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian. 10 I
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. 10 I
5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 10 I
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand. 10 I
7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. 10 I
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword. 10 I
9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. 10 I
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. 10 I
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts. 10 I
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho. 10 I
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp. 10 I
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle. 10 I
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? 10 I
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord. 10 I
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 10 I
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 10 I
19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. 10 I
20 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood. 10 I
21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses; 10 I
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 10 I
23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water. 10 I
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp. 10 I
25 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 9 I
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation: 10 I
27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation: 10 I
28 And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep: 10 I
29 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the Lord. 9 I
30 And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord. 10 I
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses. 10 I
32 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, 9 I
33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, 10 I
34 And threescore and one thousand asses, 10 I
35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him. 10 I
36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep: 10 I
37 And the Lord’S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. 10 I
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the Lord’S tribute was threescore and twelve. 10 I
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the Lord’S tribute was threescore and one. 10 I
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the Lord’S tribute was thirty and two persons. 10 I
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord’S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses. 9 I
42 And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided from the men that warred, 10 I
43 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep, 10 I
44 And thirty and six thousand beeves, 10 I
45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred, 10 I
46 And sixteen thousand persons;) 10 I
47 Even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses. 10 I
48 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses: 10 I
49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us. 10 I
50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the Lord, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord. 10 I
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels. 10 I
52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. 10 I
53 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.) 10 I
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord. 10 I

 

Obadiah 1

15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. 4 I
16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. 4 I
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it.
19 And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s. 4 I

 

1 Timothy 2

1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 9 I
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 I
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 3 I
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 28 I
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 24 I
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 7 I
7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 3 I
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 5 I
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 7 I
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 7 I
