Psalm 30
1
I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
4 I
2
O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
2 I
3
O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
2 I
4
Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
16 I
5
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
17 I
6
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7
Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8
I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
9
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
4 I
10
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
14 I
11
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
16 I
12
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
10 I
Genesis 27
41
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
10 I
42
And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
10 I
43
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
10 I
44
And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury turn away;
10 I
45
Until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
10 I
46
And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
10 I
Genesis 28
3
And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
10 I
4
And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
10 I
5
And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
10 I
6
When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughers of Canaan;
10 I
7
And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
10 I
8
And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
10 I
9
Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
10 I
1
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
10 I
2
Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughers of Laban thy mother’s brother.
10 I
2 Chronicles 4
1
Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.
2
Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
3
And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.
4
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
5
And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.
6
He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7
And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8
He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold.
9
Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
10
And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.
11
And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
12
To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars;
13
And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars.
14
He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;
15
One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
16
The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the Lord of bright brass.
17
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
19
And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set;
20
Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;
21
And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold;
22
And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
Luke 20
45
Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
46
Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
47
Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
Luke 21
1
And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3
And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4
For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
5 I
6
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
5 I
7
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
8
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
11 I
9
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
2 I
10
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
2 I
11
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
5 I
12
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
5 I
13
And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
5 I
14
Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
7 I
15
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
12 I
16
And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
13 I
18
But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
11 I
19
In your patience possess ye your souls.
16 I
20
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21
Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22
For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23
But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
8 I
26
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
9 I
27
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
22 I
28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
16 I
29
And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
6 I
33
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
12 I
34
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
11 I
35
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
7 I
36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
13 I
37
And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
38
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
