¹ And Adam lay with Eve his wife, which conceived and bare Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man of the LORD." ² And she proceeded forth and bare his brother Abel: And Abel became a shepherd, and Cain became a plowman. ³ And it fortuned, in process of time, that Cain brought of the fruit of the earth an offering unto the LORD. ⁴ And Abel, he brought also of the firstlings of his sheep and of the fat of them. And the LORD looked unto Abel and to his offering: ⁵ but unto Cain and unto his offering, looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceedingly, and lowered. ⁶ And the LORD said unto Cain, "Why art thou angry, and why lowerest thou? Knowest thou not, if thou dost well thou shalt receive it? ⁷ But and if thou dost evil, by and by thy sin lieth open in the door. Notwithstanding, let it be subdued unto thee, and see thou rule it." ⁸ And Cain talked with Abel his brother. And as soon as they were in the fields, Cain fell upon Abel his brother and slew him. ⁹ And the LORD said unto Cain, "Where is Abel thy brother?" And he said, "I can not tell, am I my brother's keeper?" ¹⁰ And he said, "What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood cryeth unto me out of the earth. ¹¹ And now cursed be thou as pertaining to the earth, which opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood of thine hand. ¹² For when thou tillest the ground she shall henceforth not give her power unto thee. A vagabond and a renegade shalt thou be upon the earth." ¹³ And Cain said unto the LORD, "My sin is greater, than that it may be forgiven. ¹⁴ Behold, thou castest me out this day from off the face of the earth, and from thy sight must I hide myself, and I must be a vagabond and a renegade upon the earth: Moreover whosoever findeth me, will kill me." ¹⁵ And the LORD said unto him, "Not so, but whosoever slayeth Cain shall be punished sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark upon Cain that no man that found him should kill him. ¹⁶ And Cain went out from the face of the LORD, and dwelt in the land Nod, on the east side of Eden. ¹⁷ And Cain lay with his wife, which conceived and bare Enoch. And he was building a city and called the name of it after the name of his son, Enoch. ¹⁸ And Enoch begat Irad. And Irad begat Mehujael. And Mehujael begat Methusael. And Methusael begat Lamech. ¹⁹ And Lamech took him two wives: the one was called Adah, and the other Zillah. ²⁰ And Ada bare Jabal; of whom came they that dwell in tents and possess cattle. ²¹ And his brother's name was Jubal; of him came all that exercise themselves on the harp and on the organs. ²² And Zillah she also bare Tubalcain; a worker in metal and a father of all that grave in brass and iron. And Tubalcain's sister was called Naamah. ²³ Then said Lamech unto his wives Adah and Zillah, "Hear my voice ye wives of Lamech, and hearken unto my words, for I have slain a man and wounded myself, and have slain a young man, and got myself stripes. ²⁴ For Cain shall be avenged sevenfold: but Lamech seventy times sevenfold." ²⁵ Adam also lay with his wife yet again, and she bare a son and called his name Seth: "For God," said she, "hath given me another son for Abel whom Cain slew." ²⁶ And Seth begat a son and called his name Enos. And in that time began men to call on the name of the LORD.

¹ Ye shall make you no idols, nor graven image, neither rear you up any pillar, neither ye shall set up any image of stone in your land to bow yourselves thereto: for I am the LORD your God; ² keep my Sabbaths and fear my sanctuary. For I am the LORD. ³ "'If ye shall walk in mine ordinances and keep my commandments and do them, ⁴ then I will send you rain in the right season and your land shall yield her increase and the trees of the field shall give their fruit. ⁵ And the threshing shall reach unto wine harvest, and the wine harvest shall reach unto sowing time, and ye shall eat your bread in plenteousness, and shall dwell in your land peaceably. ⁶ And I will send peace in your land, that ye shall sleep, and no man shall make you afraid. And I will rid evil beasts out of your land, and there shall no sword go throughout your land. ⁷ "'And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you upon the sword. ⁸ And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight, and your enemies shall fall before you upon the sword. ⁹ And I will turn unto you and increase you and multiply you, and set up my covenant with you. ¹⁰ And ye shall eat old store, and cast out the old for plenteousness of the new. ¹¹ I will make my dwelling place among you, and my soul shall not loathe you. ¹² And I will walk among you and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. ¹³ For I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, that ye should not be their bondmen, and I broke the bows of your yokes, and made you go upright. ¹⁴ "'But and if ye will not hearken unto me, nor will do all these my commandments, ¹⁵ or if ye shall despise mine ordinances, either if your souls refuse my laws, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but shall break mine covenant: ¹⁶ then I will do this again unto you: I will visit you with vexations, swelling, and fevers, that shall make your eyes dazzle; and with sorrows of heart. And ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. ¹⁷ And I will set my face against you and ye shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall reign over you, and ye shall flee when no man followeth you. ¹⁸ "'And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then will I punish you seven times more for your sins, ¹⁹ and will break the pride of your strength. For I will make the heaven over you as hard as iron, and your land as hard as brass. ²⁰ And so your labour shall be spent in vain. For your land shall not give her increase, neither the trees of the land shall give their fruits.

¹ And God spake all these words, and said, ² "I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of bondage. ³ Thou shalt have none other gods in my sight. ⁴ "Thou shalt make thee no graven image, neither any similitude that is in heaven above, either in the earth beneath, or in the water that is beneath the earth. ⁵ See that thou neither bow thyself unto them neither serve them: for I, the LORD thy God, am a jealous God, and visit the sin of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me: ⁶ and yet show mercy unto thousands among them that love me and keep my commandments. ⁷ "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. ⁸ "Remember the Sabbath day that thou sanctify it. ⁹ Six days mayest thou labour and do all that thou hast to do: ¹⁰ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God, in it thou shalt do no manner work: neither thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, neither thy manservant nor thy maidservant, neither thy cattle neither yet the stranger that is within thy gates. ¹¹ For in six days the LORD made both heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. ¹² "Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. ¹³ "Thou shalt not kill. ¹⁴ "Thou shalt not break wedlock. ¹⁵ "Thou shalt not steal. ¹⁶ "Thou shalt bear no false witness against thy neighbor. ¹⁷ "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house: neither shalt covet thy neighbor's wife, his manservant, his maid, his ox, his ass or ought that is his." ¹⁸ And all the people saw the thunder and the lightning and the noise of the horn, and how the mountain smoked. ¹⁹ And when the people saw it, they removed and stood afar off and said unto Moses, "Talk thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God talk with us, lest we die." ²⁰ And Moses said unto the people, "Fear not, for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be among you that ye sin not." ²¹ And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the thick cloud where God was. ²² And the LORD said unto Moses, "Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, 'Ye have seen how that I have talked with you from out of heaven. ²³ Ye shall not make therefore with me gods of silver nor gods of gold: in no wise shall ye do it. ²⁴ An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me and thereon offer thy burnt offerings and thy peace offerings, and thy sheep and thine oxen. And in all places where I shall put the remembrance of my name, thither I will come unto thee and bless thee. ²⁵ But and if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, see thou make it not of hewed stone, for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou shalt pollute it. ²⁶ Moreover thou shalt not go up with steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not showed thereon.'"

¹ If a man steal an ox or sheep and kill it or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. ² If a thief be found breaking up and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him: ³ except the su be up when he is found, then there shall be blood shed for him. A thief shall make restitution: If he have not wherewith, he shall be sold for his theft. ⁴ If the theft be found in his hand alive — whether it be ox, ass or sheep — he shall restore double. ⁵ If a man do hurt field or vineyard, so that he put in his beast to feed in another man's field: of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution. ⁶ "If fire break out and catch in the thorns, so that the stacks of corn or the standing corn or field be consumed therewith: he that kindled the fire shall make restitution. ⁷ If a man deliver his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of his house: If the thief be found, he shall pay double. ⁸ If the thief be not found, then the goodman of the house shall be brought unto the judges and swear, whether he have put his hand unto his neighbor's good. ⁹ And in all manner of trespass, whether it be ox, ass, sheep, raiment or any manner lost thing which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges. And whom the judges condemn: the same shall pay double unto his neighbor. ¹⁰ If a man deliver unto his neighbor to keep ass, ox, sheep or whatsoever beast it be and it die, or be hurt or driven away, and no man see it: ¹¹ then shall an oath of the LORD go between them, whether he have put his hand unto his neighbor's good, and the owner of it shall take the oath, and the other shall not make it good. ¹² If it be stolen from him, then he shall make restitution unto the owner: ¹³ If it be torn with wild beasts, then let him bring record of the tearing: and he shall not make it good. ¹⁴ When a man borroweth ought of his neighbor if it be hurt or else die, and if the owner thereof be not by, he shall make it good: ¹⁵ If the owner thereof be by, he shall not make it good, namely if it be a hired thing and came for hire. ¹⁶ "If a man beguile a maid that is not betrothed and lie with her, he shall endote her and take her to his wife: ¹⁷ If her father refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. ¹⁸ "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. ¹⁹ Whosoever lieth with a beast, shall be slain for it. ²⁰ He that offereth unto any gods save unto the LORD only, let him die without redemption. ²¹ Vex not a stranger, neither oppress him, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. ²² Ye shall trouble no widow nor fatherless child: ²³ If ye shall trouble them, they shall cry unto me, and I will surely hear their cry; ²⁴ and then will my wrath wax hot and I will kill you with sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children fatherless. ²⁵ If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be as an usurer unto him, neither shalt oppress him with usury. ²⁶ If thou take thy neighbor's raiment to pledge, see that thou deliver it unto him again by that the sun go down. ²⁷ For that is his coverlet only: even the raiment for his skin wherein he sleepeth: or else he will cry unto me and I will hear him, for I am merciful. ²⁸ "Thou shalt not rail upon the judges, neither curse the ruler of thy people. ²⁹ Thy fruits, whether they be dry or moist, see thou keep not back. Thy firstborn son thou shalt give me: ³⁰ likewise shalt thou do of thine oxen and of thy sheep.

²¹ And if ye walk contrary unto me and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. ²² I will send in wild beasts upon you, which shall rob you of your children and destroy your cattle, and make you so few in number that your highways shall grow unto a wilderness. ²³ And if ye will not be learned yet for all this, but shall walk contrary unto me, ²⁴ then will I also walk contrary unto you and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. ²⁵ I will send a sword upon you, that shall avenge my covenant with you. And when ye are fled unto your cities, I will send the pestilence among you: ye shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies. ²⁶ And when I have broken the staff of your bread: that ten wives shall bake your bread in one oven and men shall deliver you your bread again by weight, then shall ye eat and shall not be satisfied. ²⁷ "'And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, but shall walk contrary unto me, ²⁸ then I will walk contrary unto you also wrathfully, and will also chastise you seven times for your sins: ²⁹ so that ye shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters. ³⁰ And I will destroy your altars built upon high hills, and overthrow your images, and cast your carcasses upon the bodies of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. ³¹ And I will make your cities desolate, and bring your sanctuaries unto nought, and will not smell the savours of your sweet odours. ³² "'And I will bring the land unto a wilderness: so that your enemies which dwell therein shall wonder at it. ³³ And I will straw you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you, and your land shall be waste, and your cities desolate. ³⁴ Then the land shall rejoice in her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth void and ye in your enemies' land: even then shall the land keep holy day and rejoice in her Sabbaths. ³⁵ And as long as it lieth void it shall rest, for that it could not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt therein. ³⁶ "'And upon them that are left alive of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the land of their enemies: so that the sound of a leaf that falleth, shall chase them and they shall flee as though they fled a sword, and shall fall no man following them. ³⁷ And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword even no man following them, and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies: ³⁸ And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. ³⁹ And they that are left of you, shall pine away in their unrighteousness, even in their enemies' land, and also in the misdeeds of their fathers shall they consume. ⁴⁰ And they shall confess their misdeeds and the misdeeds of their fathers; in their trespasses which they have trespassed against me, and for that also that they have walked contrary unto me. ⁴¹ Therefore I also will walk contrary unto them, and will bring them into the land of their enemies. And then at the least way their uncircumcised hearts shall be tamed, and then they shall make an atonement for their misdeeds. ⁴² "'And I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham, and will think on the land. ⁴³ For the land shall be left of them and shall have pleasure in her Sabbaths, while she lieth waste without them, and they shall make an atonement for their misdeeds, because they despised my laws and their souls refused mine ordinances. ⁴⁴ And yet, for all that; when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not so cast them away nor my soul shall not so abhor them, that I will utterly destroy them and break mine covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. ⁴⁵ I will therefore remember unto them the first covenant made when I brought them out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen to be their God: for I am the LORD.'" ⁴⁶ These are the ordinances, judgements, and laws which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

⁸ "God chose new fashions of war, for when they had war at their gates: there was not seen, among forty thousand, either shield or spear in Israel.

⁴⁷ And because thou servedest not the LORD thy God with joyfulness and with a good heart for the abundance of all things, ⁴⁸ therefore thou shalt serve thine enemy which the LORD shall send upon thee: in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and in need of all things. And he shall put a yoke of iron upon thine neck, until he have brought thee to nought.

¹ If thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, the LORD will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. ² And all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. ³ Blessed shalt thou be in the town and blessed in the fields; ⁴ blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, the fruit of thy ground and the fruit of thy cattle, the fruit of thine oxen, and thy flocks of sheep; ⁵ blessed shall thine almery be and thy store. ⁶ Blessed shalt thou be, both when thou goest out, and blessed when thou comest in. ⁷ The LORD shall smite thine enemies that rise against thee before thy face. They shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. ⁸ The LORD shall command the blessing to be with thee in thy store houses and in all that thou settest thine hand to, and will bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. ⁹ "The LORD shall make thee a holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God and walk in his ways. ¹⁰ And all nations of the earth shall see that thou art called after the name of the LORD, and they shall be afeared of thee. ¹¹ And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, in the fruit of thy cattle and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. ¹² "The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, even the heaven, to give rain unto thy land in due season and to bless all the labours of thine hand. And thou shalt lend unto many nations, but shalt not need to borrow thyself. ¹³ And the LORD shall set thee before and not behind, and thou shalt be above only and not beneath: if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God which I command thee this day to keep and to do them. ¹⁴ And see that thou bow not from any of these words which I command thee this day, either to the righthand or to the left, that thou wouldest go after strange gods to serve them. ¹⁵ "But and if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God to keep and to do all his commandments and ordinances which I command thee this day; then all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee: ¹⁶ Cursed shalt thou be in the town, and cursed in the field; ¹⁷ cursed shall thine almery be and thy store. ¹⁸ Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy land be and the fruit of thine oxen and the flocks of thy sheep. ¹⁹ And cursed shalt thou be when thou goest in, and when thou goest out. ²⁰ And the LORD shall send upon thee cursing, going to nought, and complaining in all that thou settest thine hand to; whatsoever thou doest, until thou be destroyed and brought to nought quickly, because of the wickedness of thine inventions in that thou hast forsaken the LORD. ²¹ And the LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from the land whither thou goest to enjoy it. ²² And the LORD shall smite thee with swelling, with fevers, heat, burning, weathering, with smiting and blasting. And they shall follow thee, until thou perish. ²³ "And the heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee, iron. ²⁴ And the LORD shall turn the rain of the land unto powder and dust: even from heaven they shall come down upon thee, until thou be brought to nought. ²⁵ And the LORD shall plague thee before thine enemies: Thou shalt come out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them, and shalt be scattered among all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ And thy carcass shall be meat unto all manner fowls of the air and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. ²⁷ "And the LORD will smite thee with the botches of Egypt and the hemorrhoids, scall and manginess, that thou shalt not be healed thereof. ²⁸ And the LORD shall smite thee with madness, blindness and dazing of heart. ²⁹ And thou shalt grope at noonday as the blind gropeth in darkness, and shalt not come to the right way. And thou shalt suffer violence and wrong all thy life long, and no man shall help thee. ³⁰ Thou shalt be betrothed unto a wife, and another shall lie with her. Thou shalt build a house and another shall dwell therein. Thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not make it common. ³¹ Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof. Thine ass shall be violently taken away even before thy face, and shall not be restored thee again. Thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and no man shall help thee. ³² Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another nation, and thine eyes shall see and daze upon them all day long, but shalt have no might in thine hand. ³³ The fruit of thy land and all thy labours shall a nation eat, which thou knowest not; and thou shalt but suffer violence only and be oppressed always, ³⁴ that thou shalt be clean beside thyself for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ³⁵ "The LORD shall smite thee with a mischievous botch in the knees and legs, so that thou canst not be healed: even from the sole of the foot unto the top of the head. ³⁶ The LORD shall bring both thee and thy king which thou hast set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, and there thou shalt serve strange gods: even wood and stone. ³⁷ And thou shalt go to waste and be made an example and a jestingstock unto all nations whither the LORD shall carry thee. ³⁸ Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in: for the grasshoppers shall destroy it. ³⁹ Thou shalt plant a vineyard and dress it, but shalt neither drink of the wine neither gather of the grapes: for the worms shall eat it. ⁴⁰ Thou shalt have olive trees in all thy coasts, but shalt not be anointed with the oil: for thine olive trees shall be rooted out. ⁴¹ Thou shalt get sons and daughters, but shalt not have them: for they shall be carried away captive. ⁴² All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall be marred with blasting. ⁴³ The strangers that are among you shall climb above thee up on high, and thou shalt come down beneath a-low. ⁴⁴ He shall lend thee and thou shalt not lend him, he shall be before and thou behind. ⁴⁵ "Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee and shall follow thee and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed: because thou hearkenedest not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and ordinances which he commanded thee; ⁴⁶ and they shall be upon thee as miracles and wonders and upon thy seed for ever. ⁴⁷ And because thou servedest not the LORD thy God with joyfulness and with a good heart for the abundance of all things, ⁴⁸ therefore thou shalt serve thine enemy which the LORD shall send upon thee: in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and in need of all things. And he shall put a yoke of iron upon thine neck, until he have brought thee to nought. ⁴⁹ "And the LORD shall bring a nation upon thee from afar, even from the end of the world, as swift as an eagle flyeth: a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; ⁵⁰ a hard-favoured nation which shall not regard the person of the old nor have compassion on the young. ⁵¹ And he shall eat the fruit of thy land and the fruit of thy cattle until he have destroyed thee: so that he shall leave thee neither corn, wine, nor oil, neither the increase of thine oxen nor the flocks of thy sheep: until he have brought thee to nought. ⁵² And he shall keep thee in all thy cities, until thy high and strong walls be come down wherein thou trustedest, through all thy land. And he shall besiege thee in all thy cities throughout all thy land which the LORD thy God hath given thee. ⁵³ "And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body; the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in that straitness and siege wherewith thine enemy shall besiege thee: ⁵⁴ so that it shall grieve the man that is tender, and exceeding delicate among you, to look on his brother and upon his wife that lieth in his bosom and on the remnant of his children, which he hath yet left - ⁵⁵ for fear of giving unto any of them of the flesh of his children, which he eateth, because he hath nought left him in that straitness and siege wherewith thine enemy shall besiege thee in all thy cities. ⁵⁶ Yea, and the woman that is so tender and delicate among you that she dare not venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for softness and tenderness, shall be grieved to look on the husband that lieth in her bosom and on her son and on her daughter - ⁵⁷ even because of the afterbirth, that is come out from between her legs, and because of her children which she hath borne, because she would eat them for need of all things; secretly, in the straitness and siege wherewith thine enemy shall besiege thee in thy cities. ⁵⁸ "If thou wilt not be diligent to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, for to fear this glorious and fearful name of the LORD thy God: ⁵⁹ the LORD will smite both thee and thy seed with wonderful plagues and with great plagues and of long continuance, ⁶⁰ and with evil sicknesses and of long durance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt which thou wast afraid of, and they shall cleave unto thee. ⁶¹ Thereto, all manner sicknesses and all manner plagues which are not written in the book of this law, will the LORD bring upon thee until thou be come to nought. ⁶² And ye shall be left few in number, wheretofore ye were as the stars of heaven in multitude: because thou wouldest not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. ⁶³ "And as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you: even so he will rejoice over you, to destroy you and to bring you to nought. And ye shall be wasted from off the land whither thou goest to enjoy it. ⁶⁴ And the LORD shall scatter thee among all nations from the one end of the world unto the other, and there thou shalt serve strange gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known: even wood and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shalt be no small season, and yet shalt have no rest for the sole of thy foot. For the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart and dazing eyes and sorrow of mind. ⁶⁶ And thy life shall hang before thee, and thou shalt fear both day and night and shalt have no trust in thy life. ⁶⁷ In the morning thou shalt say, 'Would God it were night.' And at night thou shalt say, 'Would God it were morning' — for fear of thine heart which thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ⁶⁸ "And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way which I bade thee that thou shouldest see it no more. And there ye shall be sold unto your enemies, for bondmen and bondwomen: and yet no man shall buy you."

¹ And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead and was mightier than Israel. ² And he put soldiers in all the strong cities of Judah, and set rulers both in the land of Judah and also in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had won. ³ And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the old ways of his father David, and sought not Baals: ⁴ But sought the LORD God of his father and walked in his commandments and not after the doings of Israel. ⁵ Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand and all Judah brought him presents, that he became exceeding rich and glorious. ⁶ And his heart was courageous in the ways of the LORD, and he put down yet more of the hill altars and groves out of Judah. ⁷ And the third year of his reign he sent, of his lords: Benhail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel and Micaiah to teach in the cities of Judah: ⁸ and with them, Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah and Tobadonijah, Levites: and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests. ⁹ And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people. ¹⁰ And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, that they durst not war with Jehoshaphat. ¹¹ And the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat gifts and tribute silver.

²⁶ A righteous man falling down before the ungodly, is like a troubled well and a spring that is destroyed.

³⁸ "Ye have heard how it is said, 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.' ³⁹ But I say to you, That ye resist not wrong. But whosoever give thee a blow on thy right cheek, turn to him the other.

¹ Then was Jesus led away of the spirit into wilderness to be tempted of the devil. ² And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward a hungered. ³ Then came to him the tempter, and said, "If thou be the son of God, command that these stones be made bread." ⁴ He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.'" ⁵ Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and said unto him, "If thou be the son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, 'He shall give his angels charge over thee: and with their hands they shall hold thee up, that thou dash not thy foot against a stone.'" ⁷ And Jesus said to him, "It is written also, 'Thou shalt not tempt thy Lord God.'" ⁸ The devil took him up again and led him into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and all the glory of them; ⁹ and said to him, "All these will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me." ¹⁰ Then said Jesus unto him, "Depart, Satan: For it is written, 'Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve.'" ¹¹ Then the devil left him, and, Behold, the angels came and ministered unto him. ¹² When Jesus had heard that John was taken, he departed into Galilee; ¹³ and left Nazareth, and went and dwelt in Capernaum, which is a city upon the sea in the coasts of Zebulun and Naphtali: ¹⁴ to fulfill that which was spoken by Isaiah the Prophet, saying, ¹⁵ "The land of Zebulun and Naphtali, the way of the sea beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; ¹⁶ the people which sat in darkness saw great light and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light has begun to shine." ¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." ¹⁸ As Jesus walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon which was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. ¹⁹ And he said unto them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." ²⁰ And they straightaway left their nets, and followed him. ²¹ And he went forth from thence, and saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and called them. ²² And they, without tarrying, left the ship and their father and followed him. ²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healed all manner of sickness and all manner diseases among the people. ²⁴ And his fame spread abroad throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and gripings, and them that were possessed with devils and those which were lunatic and those that had the palsy: and he healed them. ²⁵ And there followed him a great number of people from Galilee, and from the ten cities, and from Jerusalem, and from Jewry, and from the regions that lie beyond Jordan.

¹ When he saw the people he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came to him: ² and he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, ³ "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. ⁵ Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. ⁶ Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled. ⁷ Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. ⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. ⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. ¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹ Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall falsely say all manner of evil sayings against you for my sake. ¹² Rejoice, and be glad: for great is your reward in heaven: For so persecuted they the prophets which were before your days. ¹³ "Ye are the salt of the earth: but and if the salt have lost her saltiness, what can be salted therewith? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden underfoot of men. ¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill, cannot be hid, ¹⁵ neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it lighteth all them that are in the house. ¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven. ¹⁷ "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the Prophets: No, I am not come to destroy them but to fulfill them. ¹⁸ For truly I say unto you, till heaven and earth perish, one jot or one tittle of the law shall not escape till all be fulfilled. ¹⁹ Whosoever breaketh one of these least commandments, and teacheth men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whosoever observeth, and teacheth the same, shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say unto you, Except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. ²¹ "Ye have heard how it was said unto them of the old time, 'Thou shalt not kill; for whosoever killeth shall be in danger of judgment:' ²² But I say unto you, Whosoever is angry with his brother shall be in danger of judgment: whosoever sayeth unto his brother, 'Raca,' shall be in danger of a council: but whosoever sayeth, 'Thou fool,' shall be in danger of hell fire. ²³ Therefore when thou offerest thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; ²⁴ leave there thine offering before the altar, and go thy way first, and be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. ²⁵ Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest that adversary deliver ye to the judge, and the judge deliver ye to the minister, and then thou be cast into prison. ²⁶ I say unto ye verily, Thou shalt not come out thence, till thou have paid the utmost farthing. ²⁷ "Ye have heard how it was said to them of old time, 'Thou shalt not commit adultery:' ²⁸ But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a wife lusting after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. ²⁹ Wherfore if thy right eye offend thee, pluck him out, and cast him from thee: better it is for thee that one of thy members perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell. ³⁰ Also: if thy right hand offend thee, cut him off, and cast him from thee: better it is that one of thy members perish than that all thy body should be cast into hell. ³¹ It is said, Whosoever put away his wife let him give her a testimonial also of the divorcement. ³² But I say unto you, Whosoever put away his wife, except it be for fornication, causeth her to break matrimony. And whosoever marryeth her that is divorced breaketh wedlock. ³³ "Again, ye have heard how it was said to them of old time, 'Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform thine oath to God': ³⁴ But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's seat: ³⁵ nor yet by the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of that great King: ³⁶ neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one white hair or black: ³⁷ But your communication shall be, 'Yea, Yea; Nay, nay': for whatsoever is more than that cometh of evil. ³⁸ "Ye have heard how it is said, 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.' ³⁹ But I say to you, That ye resist not wrong. But whosoever give thee a blow on thy right cheek, turn to him the other. ⁴⁰ And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. ⁴¹ And whosoever will compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. ⁴² Give to him that asketh, and from him that would borrow, turn not away. ⁴³ "Ye have heard how it is said, 'Thou shalt love thine neighbor, and hate thine enemy.' ⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Pray for them which do you wrong and persecute you; ⁴⁵ that ye may be the children of your father that is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to arise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth his rain on the just and unjust. ⁴⁶ For if ye love them which love you, what reward shall ye have? Do not the Publicans even so? ⁴⁷ And if ye be friendly to your brethren only, what singular thing do ye? Do not the Publicans likewise? ⁴⁸ Ye shall therefore be perfect even as your father which is in heaven is perfect.

⁵² Then said Jesus unto him, "Put up thy sword into his sheath. For all they that lay hands on the sword, shall perish with the sword. ⁵³ Either thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my father, and he shall give me more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled? For so must it be."

⁸ If there be any that provideth not for his own, and namely for them of his household, the same denieth the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

⁴ For he is the minister of God, for thy wealth. But and if thou do evil, then fear: for he beareth not a sword for nought; but is the minister of God, to take vengeance on them that do evil.
