³ For ye died, and your life has been hidden with the Christ in God. ⁴ When the Christ, our life, is made known, then ye also will be made known with him in glory. ⁵ Put to death therefore your body-parts on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry. ⁶ Because of which the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience, ⁷ in which ye also once walked when ye lived in them. ⁸ But now ye also, put off all these things: anger, wrath, wickedness, reviling, filthy speaking out of your mouth.

³ For we also were formerly foolish, disobedient, being led astray, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in evil and envy, hateful, hating each other. ⁴ But when the kindness and philanthropy of God our Savior appeared, ⁵ he saved us, not of works in righteousness that we did, but according to his mercy through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

And thou shall know that I, LORD, am thy Savior, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. ¹⁷ For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron. I will also make thy officers peace, and thine overseers righteousness. ¹⁸ Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, desolation nor destruction within thy borders, but thou shall call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. ¹⁹ The sun shall no more be thy light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to thee, but LORD will be to thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. ²⁰ Thy sun shall no more go down, nor shall thy moon withdraw itself, for LORD will be thine everlasting light. And the days of thy mourning shall be ended. ²¹ Thy people also shall all be righteous. They shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. ²² The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, LORD, will hasten it in its time.

² And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of LORD from Jerusalem. ³ And he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. ⁴ But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and none shall make them afraid. For the mouth of LORD of hosts has spoken it.

¹⁴ For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

⁹ And LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day LORD shall be one, and his name one.

⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, ⁴⁵ so that ye may become sons of your Father in the heavens, because he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and makes rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

⁴¹ Indeed therefore those who received his word gladly, were immersed. And there were added in that day about three thousand souls. ⁴² And they were continuing steadfastly in the apostles doctrine, and in fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and the prayers. ⁴³ And fear developed in every soul. And many wonders and signs occurred through the apostles. ⁴⁴ And all who believed were together, and had all things common. ⁴⁵ And they sold properties and possessions, and divided them to all, according as any man had need. ⁴⁶ And continuing steadfastly, daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of nourishment in gladness and evenness of heart, ⁴⁷ praising God, and having favor with the whole populace. And the Lord was adding to the church daily those being saved.

²⁹ And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word, ³⁰ by thy stretching forth thy hand for healing, and signs and wonders to happen through the name of thy holy Boy Jesus. ³¹ And when they prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. ³² And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. And not even one man said that anything of the things that was possessed by him was his own, but all things were common to them. ³³ And with great power the apostles gave back the testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. ³⁴ For not even any needy was among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling, they brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, ³⁵ and placed them at the apostles' feet. And it was distributed to each, according as any man had need.

²⁵ For I do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise according to yourselves, that a callousness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles come in. ²⁶ And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The man who delivers will come from Zion, and will turn away impiety from Jacob.

¹⁷ rendering to no man evil for evil, premeditating things right in the sight of all men. ¹⁸ If possible from you, keeping peace with all men, ¹⁹ not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath, for it is written, Vengeance is for me, I will repay, says the Lord. ²⁰ Therefore if thine enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him to drink. For by doing this thou will heap coals of fire upon his head. ²¹ Be thou not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ meekness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. ²⁴ And those of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and the lusts.

¹⁴ Do all things without grumblings and arguments, ¹⁵ so that ye may become blameless and pure children of God, blameless in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.

¹⁵ See that not any man repays evil for evil to any man, but always pursue the good, both for each other and for all.

² And he seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, who leads the whole world astray, and bound him a thousand years. ³ And he cast him into the abyss, and locked and sealed over him, so that he would no longer lead the nations astray until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be loosed for a little time. ⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them. And judgment was given to them and the souls of those who were beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not worship the beast nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they lived, and reigned with the Christ the thousand years. ⁵ The rest of the dead did not live until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. ⁶ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. On these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will reign with him a thousand years.

²⁷ And there will, no, not enter into it anything profane, and doing an abomination and a lie, since they are not written in the Lamb's book of life.

¹⁰ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs, and to him shall the obedience of the peoples be.

¹ He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

⁴ He will cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shall thou take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.

⁷ Return to thy rest, O my soul, for LORD has dealt bountifully with thee.

⁵ Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

¹¹ The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

¹ And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse. And a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit.

³ And it shall come to pass in the day that LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy trouble, and from the hard service in which thou were made to serve,

¹² to whom he said, This is the rest. Give ye rest to him who is weary. And this is the refreshing. Yet they would not hear.

¹⁷ And the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever. ¹⁸ And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.

²² Thus says the lord LORD: Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples. And they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

³ And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

⁵ Then thou shall see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged, because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to thee. The wealth of the nations shall come to thee.

¹⁰ Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all ye who mourn over her, ¹¹ that ye may nurse and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations, that ye may get milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. ¹² For thus says LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream. And ye shall nurse thereof. Ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees.

¹⁹ And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory, and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

¹⁶ Thus says LORD, Stand ye in the ways and see. And ask for the old paths where is the good way. And walk in it, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk.

⁹ The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says LORD of hosts, and in this place I will give peace, says LORD of hosts.

¹ Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, ² Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.

¹¹ And I say to you, that many will come from east and west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens,

²⁸ Come to me, all ye who labor and have been burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is befitting, and my burden is light.

²¹ And in his name Gentiles will hope.

³² a light for enlightenment of Gentiles, and glory of thy people Israel.

¹⁴ And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but may have eternal life.

²⁰ Now some Greeks were from those who came up so that they might worship at the feast. ²¹ These men therefore came to Philip, the man from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we want to see Jesus.

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself.

¹⁸ And when they heard these things, they relaxed and glorified God, saying, Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.

¹⁷ delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send thee, ¹⁸ to open their eyes to turn about from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, for them to receive remission of sins and a lot among those who have been sanctified by faith in me.

²⁸ Be it known to you therefore, that the salvation of God was sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.

⁹ and the Gentiles, for the sake of mercy, to glorify God, as it is written, Because of this I will give thanks to thee among Gentiles, and will sing to thy name. ¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again, Praise ye the Lord all nations, and let all the peoples praise him. ¹² And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope.

⁷ and relief with us, to you who are restricted, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his agents of power ⁸ in a fire of flame rendering vengeance to those who have not known God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Men who will suffer punishment, a penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, ¹⁰ when he comes to be glorified in his sanctified, and to be marveled in that day by all those who believe (because our testimony among you was believed). ¹¹ For which also we pray always about you, so that our God will make you worthy of the calling, and will fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power. ¹² So that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹ Let us be afraid therefore, lest, a promise being left behind to enter into his rest, any of you should seem to have come short.

⁹ There remains therefore a sabbath for the people of God. ¹⁰ For a man who has entered into his rest, he has also rested from his works, as God did from his own. ¹¹ Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, so that not any man may fall by the same example of disobedience. ¹² For the word of God is living, and potent, and sharper, above every two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division both of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and discernible of the thoughts and intentions of the heart. ¹³ And there is no creature concealed from his presence, but all things are naked and vulnerable to his eyes, before whom is the word to us. ¹⁴ Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us take hold of the affirmation. ¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who was tempted in all things in the same way, without sin. ¹⁶ Let us therefore come near with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may take mercy, and may find grace for timely help.

⁷ so that the proof of your faith, much more precious than gold that perishes, and though proven by fire, may be found for praise and esteem and for glory at the revealing of Jesus Christ. ⁸ Whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, not now seeing but believing, ye exult in inexpressible and glorified joy, ⁹ receiving back the outcome of your faith, the salvation of souls.

¹⁰ And may the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus (after suffering a little while) himself thoroughly prepare you. He will establish, strengthen, and provide a foundation.

⁵ From these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, every man according to his tongue, according to their families, in their nations. ⁶ And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. ⁷ And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.

¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

²² The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

² And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.

¹ And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,

⁴⁰ And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me, ⁴¹ I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity, ⁴² then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the land.

²⁷ And LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left few in number among the nations where LORD shall lead you away. ²⁸ And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. ²⁹ But from there ye shall seek LORD thy God. And thou shall find him when thou search after him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 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. ³¹ For LORD thy God is a merciful God. He will not fail thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore to them.

³ that then LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the peoples where LORD thy God has scattered thee. ⁴ If any of thine outcasts be in the outermost parts of heaven, from there LORD thy God will gather thee, and from there he will fetch thee. ⁵ And LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shall possess it, and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. ⁶ And LORD thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou may live.

²² The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan. I will bring again from the depths of the sea,

⁹ Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?

²⁰ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and those who are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him who smote them, but shall lean upon LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

¹⁶ And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Assyria, like as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

²³ In that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria. And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians. ²⁴ In that day Israel shall be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,

¹⁵ Therefore glorify ye LORD in the east, even the name of LORD, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.

¹² And it shall come to pass in that day, that LORD will beat off his fruit, from the flood of the River to the brook of Egypt. And ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye sons of Israel. ¹³ And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown. And they shall come who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they shall worship LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

⁴ He will not fail nor be discouraged till he has set justice in the earth. And in his name Gentiles will hope.

¹⁰ Sing to LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

¹² Let them give glory to LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

¹⁴ Thus says LORD: The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to thee, and they shall be thine. They shall go after thee. In chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down to thee. They shall make supplication to thee, saying, Surely God is in thee, and there is none else, no God.

⁷ Therefore, behold, the days come, says LORD, that they shall no more say, As LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, ⁸ but, As LORD lives, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land.

²⁵ and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,

⁸ And it shall come to pass in that day, says LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds. And strangers shall no more make him their bondman, ⁹ but they shall serve LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them. ¹⁰ Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, says LORD, nor be dismayed, O Israel. For, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity, and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. ¹¹ For I am with thee, says LORD, to save thee. For I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee. But I will correct thee in measure, and will in no way leave thee unpunished.

¹⁰ Hear the word of LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.

³⁶ If these ordinances depart from before me, says LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever. ³⁷ Thus says LORD: If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says LORD. ³⁸ Behold, the days come, says LORD, that the city shall be built to LORD from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner. ³⁹ And the measuring line shall go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and shall turn about to Goah. ⁴⁰ And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields, to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy to LORD. It shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more forever.

²⁴ Consider thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which LORD chose, he has cast them off? Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. ²⁵ Thus says LORD: If my covenant of day and night stand not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth, ²⁶ then I will also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.

¹ The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who dwelt in the land of Egypt, who dwelt at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,

²³ Of Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad, for they have heard evil news. They are melted away. There is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.

¹⁶ Therefore say, Thus says the lord LORD: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come. ¹⁷ Therefore say, Thus says the lord LORD. I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. ¹⁸ And they shall come there, and they shall take away from there all the detestable things of it and all the abominations of it. ¹⁹ And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh, ²⁰ that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

⁶ Of the oaks of Bashan they have made thine oars. They have made thy benches of ivory inlaid in boxwood, from the isles of Kittim.

¹⁴ And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments upon No.

²³ And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David. He shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. ²⁴ And I, LORD, will be their God, and my servant David ruler among them. I, LORD, have spoken it. ²⁵ And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. ²⁶ And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing, and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing. ²⁷ And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land. And they shall know that I am LORD when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made bondmen of them. ²⁸ And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the earth devour them, but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.

²⁴ For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land. ²⁵ And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness, and from all your idols. ²⁶ I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. ²⁷ And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my ordinances, and do them. ²⁸ And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

¹ The hand of LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones. ² And he caused me to pass by them round about. And, behold, there were very many in the open valley, and, lo, they were very dry. ³ And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O lord LORD, thou know. ⁴ Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of LORD. ⁵ Thus says the lord LORD to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. ⁶ And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live. And ye shall know that I am LORD. ⁷ So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and, behold, an earthquake, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. ⁸ And I beheld, and, lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above, but there was no breath in them. ⁹ Then he said to me, Prophesy to the wind. Prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the lord LORD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. ¹⁰ So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army. ¹¹ Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost. We are clean cut off. ¹² Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the lord LORD: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and I will bring you into the land of Israel. ¹³ And ye shall know that I am LORD when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people. ¹⁴ And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live. And I will place you in your own land. And ye shall know that I, LORD, have spoken it and performed it, says LORD. ¹⁵ The word of LORD came again to me, saying, ¹⁶ And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel his companions. Then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions. ¹⁷ And join them one to another into one stick for thyself, that they may become one in thy hand. ¹⁸ And when the sons of thy people shall speak to thee, saying, Will thou not show us what thou mean by these? ¹⁹ say to them, Thus says the lord LORD: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and I will put them with it, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand. ²⁰ And the sticks on which thou write shall be in thy hand before their eyes. ²¹ And say to them, Thus says the lord LORD: Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land. ²² And I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be king to them all. And they shall no more be two nations, nor shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. ²³ Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions, but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. So they shall be my people, and I will be their God. ²⁴ And my servant David shall be king over them, and they all shall have one shepherd. They shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them. ²⁵ And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers dwelt. And they shall dwell therein, they, and their sons, and their son's sons, forever. And David my servant shall be their ruler forever. ²⁶ Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them, and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. ²⁷ My tabernacle shall also be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ²⁸ And the nations shall know that I am LORD, who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

² And I saw in the vision, now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam, and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.

¹⁸ After this he shall turn his face to the isles, and shall take many. But a ruler shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease. Yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him.

¹¹ And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

⁴ For the sons of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without ruler, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim. 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.

¹¹ They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria. And I will make them to dwell in their houses, says LORD.

¹ For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, ² I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will execute judgment upon them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. And they have parted my land, ³ and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink. ⁴ Yea, and what are ye to me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will ye render me a recompense? And if ye recompense me, I will return your recompense swiftly and speedily upon your own head. ⁵ Inasmuch as ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly precious things, ⁶ and have sold the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem to the sons of the Grecians, that ye may remove them far from their border, ⁷ behold, I will stir them up out of the place where ye have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head. ⁸ And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they shall sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off. For LORD has spoken it. ⁹ Proclaim ye this among the nations: Prepare war. Stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near. Let them come up. ¹⁰ Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears. Let the weak say, I am strong. ¹¹ Hasten ye, and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together. Cause thy mighty ones to come down there, O LORD. ¹² Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations round about. ¹³ Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread ye, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow. For their wickedness is great. ¹⁴ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of LORD is near in the valley of decision. ¹⁵ The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. ¹⁶ And LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shall shake. But LORD will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the sons of Israel. ¹⁷ So ye shall know that I am LORD your God, dwelling in Zion my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem shall be holy, and no strangers shall pass through her any more. ¹⁸ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters. And a fountain shall come forth from the house of LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim. ¹⁹ Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the sons of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. ²⁰ But Judah shall abide forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. ²¹ And I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed. For LORD dwells in Zion.

¹⁴ And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of it. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. ¹⁵ And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, says LORD thy God.

¹² In that day they shall come to thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.

¹⁴ Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, which dwell solitarily in the forest in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. ¹⁵ As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt I will show marvelous things to them.

¹¹ LORD will be terrible to them, for he will famish all the gods of the earth. And men shall worship him, everyone from his place, even all the isles of the nations.

¹¹ And he said to me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar. And when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.

² and also Hamath, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.

⁸ I will whistle for them, and gather them. For I have redeemed them, and they shall increase as they have increased. ⁹ And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember me in far countries. And they shall live with their sons, and shall return. ¹⁰ I will also bring them again out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria. And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, and until space shall not be found for them. ¹¹ And he will pass through the sea of affliction, and will smite the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up. And the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart. ¹² And I will strengthen them in LORD, and they shall walk up and down in his name, says LORD.

¹ The burden of the word of LORD concerning Israel. Thus says LORD, who stretches forth the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him: ² Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the peoples round about, and upon Judah also it shall be in the siege against Jerusalem. ³ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it shall be severely wounded. And all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it. ⁴ In that day, says LORD, I will smite every horse with terror, and his rider with madness. And I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness. ⁵ And the chieftains of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in LORD of hosts their God. ⁶ In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves. And they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left, and Jerusalem shall yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem. ⁷ LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah. ⁸ In that day LORD shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And he who is feeble among them at that day shall be as David, and the house of David shall be as God, as the agent of LORD before them. ⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication. And they shall look to me whom they have pierced. And they shall mourn for him, as a man mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as a man who is in bitterness for his firstborn. ¹¹ In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. ¹² And the land shall mourn, every family apart, the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart, the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart, ¹³ the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart, the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart, ¹⁴ all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

¹⁵ For if the casting away of them is reconciliation of the world, what is the acceptance except life from the dead?

²⁶ And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The man who delivers will come from Zion, and will turn away impiety from Jacob.

¹⁶ But whenever it turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.

²⁶ I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,

² LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

³ All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye, and when the trumpet is blown, hear ye.

¹³ And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown. And they shall come who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they shall worship LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

⁶ I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Keep not back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth,

¹¹ And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. ¹² Lo, these shall come from far, and, lo, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim.

⁸ The lord LORD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, Yet I will gather to him, besides his own who are gathered.

¹⁰ Go through, go through the gates. Prepare ye the way of the people. Cast up, cast up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up an ensign for the peoples.

¹⁰ From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring my offering.

⁶ And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back. For I have mercy upon them, and they shall be as though I had not cast them off. For I am LORD their God, and I will hear them.

³⁵ The Jews therefore said among themselves, Where is this man going to go that we will not find him? Is he going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

¹ James, a bondman of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion, greeting.

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou were killed and purchased us from God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.

¹ And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it. ² And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. And his heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind. ³ Then LORD said to Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller's field. ⁴ And say to him, Take heed, and be quiet. Fear not, nor let thy heart be faint, because of these two tails of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah. ⁵ Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have purposed evil against thee, saying, ⁶ Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach in it for us, and set up a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel,

²¹ Manasseh, Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh, and together they shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

¹⁸ In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance to your fathers.

¹⁶ And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel his companions. Then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions. ¹⁷ And join them one to another into one stick for thyself, that they may become one in thy hand. ¹⁸ And when the sons of thy people shall speak to thee, saying, Will thou not show us what thou mean by these? ¹⁹ say to them, Thus says the lord LORD: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and I will put them with it, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand. ²⁰ And the sticks on which thou write shall be in thy hand before their eyes. ²¹ And say to them, Thus says the lord LORD: Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land. ²² And I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be king to them all. And they shall no more be two nations, nor shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. ²³ Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions, but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. So they shall be my people, and I will be their God. ²⁴ And my servant David shall be king over them, and they all shall have one shepherd. They shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.

¹⁷ I see him, but not now. I behold him, but not near. There shall come forth a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of tumult.

¹⁴ But now LORD has spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude. And the remnant shall be very small and of no account.

¹⁰ For the hand of LORD will rest on this mountain. And Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.

¹ Woe to thee who destroys, and thou were not destroyed, and deal treacherously, and they did not deal treacherously with thee! When thou have ceased to destroy, thou shall be destroyed, and when thou have made an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

⁵ For my sword has drunk its fill in heaven. Behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. ⁶ The sword of LORD is filled with blood. It is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams, for LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

¹⁴ And the sons of those who afflicted thee shall come bending to thee. And all those who despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet. And they shall call thee The city of LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹ And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory, and they shall declare my glory among the nations. ²⁰ And they shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an oblation to LORD, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says LORD, as the sons of Israel bring their oblation in a clean vessel into the house of LORD.

²⁸ Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote. Thus says LORD: Arise ye. Go up to Kedar, and destroy the sons of the east.

¹ And the word of LORD came to me, saying, ² Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him. ³ And say, Thus says the lord LORD: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. ⁴ And I will turn thee about, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords, ⁵ Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet, ⁶ Gomer, and all his hordes, the house of Togarmah in the outermost parts of the north, and all his hordes, even many peoples with thee. ⁷ Be thou prepared. Yea, prepare thyself, thou, and all thy companies that are assembled to thee, and be thou a guard to them. ⁸ After many days thou shall be visited. In the latter years thou shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, upon the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste, but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they shall dwell securely, all of them. ⁹ And thou shall ascend. Thou shall come like a storm. Thou shall be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy hordes, and many peoples with thee. ¹⁰ Thus says the lord LORD: It shall come to pass in that day, that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shall devise an evil plan. ¹¹ And thou shall say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, ¹² to take the spoil and to take the prey, to turn thy hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten cattle and goods, who dwell in the middle of the earth. ¹³ Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions of it, shall say to thee, Have thou come to take the spoil? Have thou assembled thy company to take the prey, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take great spoil? ¹⁴ Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says the lord LORD: In that day when my people Israel dwell securely, shall thou not know it? ¹⁵ And thou shall come from thy place out of the outermost parts of the north, thou, and many peoples with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army. ¹⁶ And thou shall come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. It shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring thee against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. ¹⁷ Thus says the lord LORD: Are thou he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring thee against them? ¹⁸ And it shall come to pass in that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the lord LORD, that my wrath shall come up into my nostrils. ¹⁹ For I have spoken in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath. Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel, ²⁰ so that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men who are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence. And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. ²¹ And I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains, says the lord LORD. Every man's sword shall be against his brother. ²² And I will enter into judgment with him with pestilence and with blood. And I will rain upon him, and upon his hordes, and upon the many peoples who are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. ²³ And I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations. And they shall know that I am LORD.

⁴¹ He shall also enter into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown. But these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.

¹⁹ Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the sons of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

¹² that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations that are called by my name, says LORD who does this.

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 burn among them, and devour them, and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau, for LORD has spoken it. ¹⁹ And those of the South shall possess the mount of Esau, and those of the lowland the Philistines. And they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

⁵ Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of LORD is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.

⁵ Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, Gaza also, and shall be greatly pained, and Ekron, for her expectation shall be put to shame. And the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. ⁶ And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. ⁷ And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth. And he also shall be a remnant for our God, and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

¹⁹ And LORD said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood, and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone. ²⁰ And Moses and Aaron did so, as LORD commanded. And he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants, and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. ²¹ And the fish that were in the river died, and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. And the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.

²¹ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

¹³ Thou divided the sea by thy strength. Thou break the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters. ¹⁴ Thou break the heads of leviathan in pieces. Thou gave him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. ¹⁵ Thou split fountain and flood. Thou dried up mighty rivers.

²⁰ In that day the Lord will shave with a razor what is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet, and it shall also consume the beard.

⁵ And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and become dry. ⁶ And the rivers shall become foul. The streams of Egypt shall be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags shall wither away. ⁷ The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more. ⁸ And the fishermen shall lament, and all those who cast a hook into the Nile shall mourn, and those who spread nets upon the waters shall languish. ⁹ Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, shall be confounded. ¹⁰ And the pillars of Egypt shall be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire shall be grieved in soul.

¹⁶ In that day the Egyptians shall be like women, and they shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of LORD of hosts, which he shakes over them.

² Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die for thirst.

⁹ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of LORD. Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster? ¹⁰ Is it not thou who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?

¹⁰ therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers. And I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even to the border of Ethiopia.

¹² And I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men. And I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers. I, LORD, have spoken it.

¹¹ And he will pass through the sea of affliction, and will smite the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up. And the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart.

¹² And the sixth agent poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates, and the water of it was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared.

²⁶ And LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. ²⁷ And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared, and the Egyptians fled against it, and LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. ²⁸ And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the army of Pharaoh who went in after them into the sea, there remained not so much as one of them. ²⁹ But the sons of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

¹¹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

²³ In that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria. And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.

⁸ And a highway shall be there, and a way. And it shall be called The way of holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed, the wayfaring men. Yea fools shall not err in it. ⁹ No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up in it. They shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there. ¹⁰ And the ransomed of LORD shall return, and come with singing to Zion. And everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

³ The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. ⁴ Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low. And the crooked shall become straight, and the rough places smooth.

¹⁵ I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. And I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools. ¹⁶ And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not. I will lead them in paths that they know not. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do, and I will not forsake them.

²⁰ Go ye forth from Babylon. Flee ye from the Chaldeans. With a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth. Say ye, LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob. ²¹ And they did not thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out.

¹² Lo, these shall come from far, and, lo, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim.

¹⁰ Is it not thou who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?

¹⁴ And he will say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way. Take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.

¹² who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name, ¹³ who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not?
