¹ And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the agent of LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary. ² And LORD said to Satan, LORD rebuke thee, O Satan. Yea, LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee. Is this not a brand plucked out of the fire?

¹² Because our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principal offices, against the positions of authority, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual things of wickedness in the heavenly things.

¹⁰ And ye are men who have been made full in him, who is the head of every principal office and position of authority.

¹⁸ Therefore we wanted to come to you, indeed I, Paul, even once and again, and Satan hindered us.

²² who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, agents, and positions of authority, and powers having been subordinated to him.

⁹ But Michael the arch-agent, when he disputed with the devil, contending about the body of Moses, dared not bring a railing judgment, but said, May the Lord rebuke thee.

⁷ And war developed in heaven: Michael and his agents to fight with the dragon. And the dragon and his agents fought.

¹ And Jacob called to his sons, and said, gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days.

³⁰ When thou are in tribulation, and all these things have come upon thee, in the latter days thou shall return to LORD thy God, and hearken to his voice.

²¹ And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have come upon them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness, for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed. For I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.

² And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it.

²⁸ but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets. And he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:

²² And he instructed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I have now come forth to give thee wisdom and understanding.

¹ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar, and the thing was true, even a great warfare. And he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

⁵ Afterward the sons of Israel shall return and seek LORD their God and David their king, and shall come with fear to LORD and to his goodness in the latter days.

¹ But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and peoples shall flow to it.

³ For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hastens toward the end, and shall not lie. Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come. It will not delay.

¹ But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come.

³ how will we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? Which first, having taken to be spoken by the Lord, was verified for us by those who heard;

²⁷ In that day thy mouth shall be opened to him who is escaped, and thou shall speak, and no more be mute. So thou shall be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am LORD.

²² Now the hand of LORD had been upon me in the evening, before he who escaped came. And he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning. And my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.

⁹ Yet I heard the voice of his words. And when I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.

¹⁰ And Moses said to LORD, Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou have spoken to thy servant, for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

¹³ And he said, Oh, Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou will send.

¹⁴ And he said, No, but as captain of the army of LORD I have now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, What does my lord say to his servant?

¹³ And Gideon said to him, Oh, my lord, if LORD is with us, then why has all this befallen us? And where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not LORD bring us up from Egypt? But now LORD has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.

¹⁵ And he said to him, Oh, Lord, with what shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

⁸ Then Manoah entreated LORD, and said, Oh, Lord, I pray thee, let the man of God whom thou sent come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child that shall be born.

¹⁸ For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

⁷ And he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this has touched thy lips, and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven.

²⁶ And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. And upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.

²⁷ But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shall say to them, Thus says the lord LORD. He who hears, let him hear, and he who forbears, let him forbear, for they are a rebellious house.

¹⁵ As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it, and, behold, there stood before me someone as the appearance of a man.

¹⁷ So he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was frightened, and fell upon my face. But he said to me, Understand, O son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.

⁵ I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz. ⁶ Also his body was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

⁸ So I was left alone, and saw this great vision. And there remained no strength in me, for my fitness was turned in me into debility, and I retained no strength. ⁹ Yet I heard the voice of his words. And when I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground. ¹⁰ And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

¹⁷ For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, straightaway there remained no strength in me, nor was there breath left in me. ¹⁸ Then someone like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.

⁸ And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?

⁶⁴ And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue, and he spoke, praising God.

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom that all those who oppose you will not be able to contradict or to resist.

²⁸ Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.

⁷ But he emptied himself, having taken a form of a bondman, having become in a likeness of men. ⁸ And having been found in a form like a man, he lowered himself, having become obedient until death, even of death from a cross.

¹³ And in the midst of the seven lampstands, resembling a son of man, he who was clothed down to the foot, and girded about with a golden belt at the breasts.

²⁰ and ye shall say, Moreover, behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.

¹⁰ And they saw the God of Israel. And there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were the very heaven for clearness. ¹¹ And he laid not his hand upon the nobles of the sons of Israel. And they beheld God, and ate and drank.

²⁰ And he said, Thou cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.

²² And Gideon saw that he was the agent of LORD. And Gideon said, Alas, O lord LORD! Inasmuch as I have seen the agent of LORD face to face.

²¹ But the agent of LORD appeared no more to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the agent of LORD. ²² And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. ²³ But his wife said to him, If LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these.

¹ In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. ² Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings, with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. ³ And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is LORD of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory. ⁴ And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who cried, and the house was filled with vapor. ⁵ Then I said, Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the King, LORD of hosts.

⁴³ He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying, ⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet?

³⁶ For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The Lord says to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I may place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.

¹⁸ No man has ever seen God. The only begotten Son, being in the bosom of the Father, that man reported him.

¹⁵ And David saw that Saul came out to seek his life, and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the forest.

⁵ But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.

⁶ Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would give heed to me.

³ Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. ⁴ Say to those who are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.

¹⁰ And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

³² but I prayed for thee, so that thy faith may not fail. And thou, when thou have returned, strengthen thy brothers.

⁴³ And an agent from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

²³ And after spending some time, he departed, passing through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, successively, strengthening all the disciples.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my power is made fully perfect in weakness. More gladly therefore I will boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of the Christ may reside in me. ¹⁰ Therefore I am pleased in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in restrictions, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

¹⁶ So that he would grant you, according to the wealth of his glory, to be strengthened with power through his Spirit for the inner man,

¹³ I can do all things in the Christ who strengthens me.

¹¹ being strengthened in every ability, according to the dominion of his glory, for all perseverance and longsuffering with joy.

⁶ Be strong and of good courage, for thou shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. ⁷ Only be strong and very courageous to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou may have good success wherever thou go.

⁹ Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage. Be not frightened, neither be thou dismayed, for LORD thy God is with thee wherever thou go.

²³ And LORD said to him, Peace be to thee. Fear not; thou shall not die.

⁹ Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down, and it shall be, if he calls thee, that thou shall say, Speak, LORD, for thy servant hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. ¹⁰ And LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant hears.

³ Thou answered me in the day that I called. Thou encouraged me with strength in my soul.

¹ But now thus says LORD who created thee, O Jacob, and he who formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by thy name, Thou are mine. ² When thou pass through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee. When thou walk through the fire, thou shall not be burned, nor shall the flame kindle upon thee.

²³ At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment went forth, and I have come to tell thee, for thou are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision.

¹¹ And he said to me, O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright, for I am now sent to thee. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood, trembling. ¹² Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that thou set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard. And I have come for thy words' sake.

⁴ Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says LORD, and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, says LORD, and work. For I am with you, says LORD of hosts,

⁹ Thus says LORD of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of LORD of hosts was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.

¹³ And it shall come to pass that, as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and ye shall be a blessing. Fear not. Let your hands be strong.

³⁶ And as they spoke these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and says to them, Peace to you. ³⁷ But having been startled, and having become frightened, they presumed to see a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

³ The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou love is sick.

⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

³⁶ The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him.

²⁷ Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be cowardly.

⁹ As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Dwell ye in my love. ¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye will dwell in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and dwell in his love. ¹¹ These things I have spoken to you that my joy may dwell in you, and your joy may be full. ¹² This is my commandment, that ye love each other, just as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no man than this, that some man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do as many things as I command you.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, so that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation. But cheer up, I have overcome the world.

²⁶ When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, he says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.

¹³ Watch ye, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my power is made fully perfect in weakness. More gladly therefore I will boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of the Christ may reside in me.

¹⁰ Finally my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

¹ Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace in Christ Jesus.

³⁶ And the agent of LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.

⁶ After this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

⁵ And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. ⁶ And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power. ⁷ And I saw him come close to the ram. And he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him. And there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. ⁸ And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly. And when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven.

²¹ And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

¹³ But the ruler of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me. And I remained there with the kings of Persia.

² And now I will show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than them all. And when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece. ³ And a mighty king shall stand up, who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. ⁴ And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these.

²³ And immediately an agent of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And after becoming worm-eaten, he expired.

²² Let them bring forth, and declare to us what shall happen. Declare ye the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them, or show us things to come. ²³ Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods. Yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

⁸ Bring forth the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears. ⁹ Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

²⁵ Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the anointed one, the Prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublesome times.

¹ And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him. ² And now I will show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than them all. And when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece. ³ And a mighty king shall stand up, who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. ⁴ And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these. ⁵ And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his rulers. And he shall be powerful over him, and have dominion. His dominion shall be a great dominion. ⁶ And at the end of years they shall join themselves together. And the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement, but she shall not retain the strength of her arm, nor shall he stand, nor his arm. But she shall be given up, and also those who brought her, and he who begot her, and he who strengthened her in those times. ⁷ But out of a shoot from her roots shall a man stand up in his place, who shall come to the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail. ⁸ And also their gods, with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, he shall carry captive into Egypt, and he shall refrain from the king of the north some years. ⁹ And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land. ¹⁰ And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through. And they shall return and war, even to his fortress. ¹¹ And the king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north. And he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand. ¹² And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted. And he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.

⁷ Surely the lord LORD will do nothing unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.

¹⁵ And to this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written,

¹⁸ Known to God from the age are all his works.
