They took no gain of money. ²⁰ From heaven the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera. ²¹ The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength. ²² Then the horse hoofs stamped by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones. ²³ Curse ye Meroz, said the agent of LORD. Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants of it, because they did not come to the help of LORD, to the help of LORD against the mighty. ²⁴ Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite. Blessed shall she be above women in the tent. ²⁵ He asked water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish. ²⁶ She put her hand to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer. And with the hammer she smote Sisera; she struck through his head. Yea, she pierced and struck through his temples. ²⁷ At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, there he fell down dead. ²⁸ Through the window she looked forth, and cried-the mother of Sisera through the lattice-Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots delay? ²⁹ Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself, ³⁰ Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man, to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil? ³¹ So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD, but let those who love him be as the sun when he goes forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

¹ And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart exults in LORD. My horn is exalted in LORD. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies because I rejoice in thy salvation. ² There is none holy as LORD, for there is none besides thee, neither is there any rock like our God. ³ Talk no more so very proudly. Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth, for LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. ⁴ The bows of the mighty men are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength. ⁵ Those who were full have hired out themselves for bread, and those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. Yea, the barren has borne seven, and she who has many sons languishes. ⁶ LORD kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. ⁷ LORD makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up. ⁸ He raises up the poor out of the dust, he lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with rulers, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are LORD's, and he has set the world upon them. ⁹ He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness, for by strength no man shall prevail. ¹⁰ Those who strive with LORD shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in heaven. LORD will judge the ends of the earth, and he will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

³⁰ Moreover Hezekiah the king and the rulers commanded the Levites to sing praises to LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.

¹⁸ For he injures, and binds up. He wounds, and his hands make whole.

¹ I love thee, O LORD, my strength.

¹¹ Thou have turned for me my mourning into dancing. Thou have loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness, ¹² to the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to thee forever.

¹⁷ Fools are afflicted because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities. ¹⁸ Their soul abhors all manner of food, and they draw near to the gates of death. ¹⁹ Then they cry to LORD in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses. ²⁰ He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their destructions. ²¹ O that men would praise LORD for his loving kindness, and for his wonderful works to the sons of men! ²² And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing.

¹ I love LORD because he hears my voice and my supplications. ² Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call as long as I live. ³ The cords of death encompassed me, and the pains of Sheol got hold upon me. I found trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then I called upon the name of LORD. O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

¹⁸ LORD has chastened me greatly, but he has not given me over to death. ¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to LORD.

¹ And in that day thou shall say, I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, for though thou were angry with me. Thine anger is turned away and thou comfort me. ² Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid, for LORD, even LORD, is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. ³ Therefore with joy ye shall draw water out of the wells of salvation. ⁴ And in that day ye shall say, Give thanks to LORD. Call upon his name. Declare his doings among the peoples. Make mention that his name is exalted. ⁵ Sing to LORD, for he has done excellent things. Let this be known in all the earth. ⁶ Cry aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion, for great in the midst of thee is the Holy One of Israel.

¹ Come, and let us return to LORD, for he has torn, and he will heal us. He has smitten, and he will bind us up. ² After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him.

¹ Then Jonah prayed to LORD his God out of the sea creatures belly. ² And he said, I called because of my affliction to LORD, and he answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou heard my voice. ³ For thou cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me. All thy waves and thy billows passed over me. ⁴ And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes. Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. ⁵ The waters encompassed me around, even to the soul. The deep was round about me. The weeds were wrapped around my head. ⁶ I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God. ⁷ When my soul fainted within me, I remembered LORD. And my prayer came in to thee, into thy holy temple. ⁸ Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy. ⁹ But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of LORD.

¹¹ What is my strength that I should wait? And what is my end that I should be patient?

⁷ O remember that my life is a breath. My eye shall no more see good.

¹¹ My days are past. My purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. ¹² They change the night into day. The light, they say, is near to the darkness. ¹³ If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness, ¹⁴ if I have said to corruption, Thou are my father, to the worm, My mother, and my sister, ¹⁵ where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it? ¹⁶ It shall go down to the bars of Sheol when once there is rest in the dust.

²⁴ I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days. Thy years are throughout all generations.

¹⁸ Their soul abhors all manner of food, and they draw near to the gates of death.

¹ In those days Hezekiah was sick to death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus says LORD, Set thy house in order, for thou shall die, and not live.

⁹ But we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, so that we should not be trusting in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead.

¹⁴ How much less when thou say thou do not behold him. The case is before him, and thou wait for him! ¹⁵ But now, because he has not visited in his anger, nor does he greatly regard folly,

⁴ Return, O LORD, deliver my soul. Save me for thy loving kindness' sake. ⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee. In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

¹³ I believe that I shall see the goodness of LORD in the land of the living.

²² As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes. Nevertheless thou heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to thee.

⁸ For thou have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling. ⁹ I will walk before LORD in the land of the living.

⁵ For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know not anything, nor have they any more a reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. ⁶ As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, has perished long ago, nor have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.

²⁰ Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.

⁹ Even that it would please God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

³ so I am made to possess months of misery, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. ⁴ When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? And I am full of tossing to and fro to the dawning of the day. ⁵ My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh. ⁶ My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. ⁷ O remember that my life is a breath. My eye shall no more see good.

²⁵ Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good, ²⁶ They are passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.

² He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down. He too flees as a shadow, and does not continue.

¹ My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.

¹⁴ for all the day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning.

⁴⁵ The days of his youth thou have shortened. Thou have covered him with shame. Selah. ⁴⁶ How long, O LORD? Will thou hide thyself forever? Shall thy wrath burn like fire? ⁴⁷ O remember how short my time is, for what vanity thou have created all the sons of men!

¹¹ My days are like a shadow that declines, and I am withered like grass.

²³ He weakened my strength in the way. He shortened my days. ²⁴ I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days. Thy years are throughout all generations.

²³ Rulers also sat and talked against me, but thy servant meditated on thy statutes.

⁸ And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a shed in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

²⁰ It shall never be inhabited, nor shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. Neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there, nor shall shepherds make their flocks to lie down there.

¹ For we know that if the earthly house of our tent were destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

⁴ For also those who are in the tent groan, being burdened, not in that we want to undress, but to clothe ourselves, so that the mortal may be swallowed up by the life.

¹² And thou will roll them up as a mantle, and they will be changed. But thou are the same, and thy years will not cease.

¹⁴ men who know not of the morrow. For what is your life? For it will be a vapor that appears for a little while, and then also vanishes away-

¹³ But I think it right, inasmuch as I am in this tent, to arouse you in memory. ¹⁴ Knowing that the putting off of my tent is imminent, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ indicated to me.

²⁴ And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. And his body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body. ²⁵ And, behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt. ²⁶ And when the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, It is the man of God who was disobedient to the mouth of LORD. Therefore LORD has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him, and slain him, according to the word of LORD which he spoke to him.

³⁶ Then said he to him, Because thou have not obeyed the voice of LORD, behold, as soon as thou are departed from me, a lion shall kill thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and killed him.

¹⁶ And if my head exalts itself, thou hunt me as a lion. And again thou show thyself marvelous upon me. ¹⁷ Thou renew thy witnesses against me, and increase thine indignation upon me. Changes and warfare are with me.

¹² I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yea, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his mark. ¹³ His archers encompass me round about. He splits my reins apart, and does not spare. He pours out my gall upon the ground. ¹⁴ He breaks me with breach upon breach. He runs upon me like a giant.

¹⁰ Remove thy stroke away from me. I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.

²² Now consider this, ye who forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:

⁸ Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which thou have broken may rejoice.

²⁴ And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their sons, and their wives. And the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.

¹⁴ For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away, I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.

³⁰ Because of this many are weak and sickly among you, and a considerable sleep. ³¹ But if we were discerning ourselves we would not be judged. ³² But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned with the world.

³ Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself. Who is there that will strike hands with me?

²⁹ I am a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.

³ I am weary with my crying. My throat is dried. My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

⁴ My heart is smitten like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread. ⁵ Because of the voice of my groaning my bones cling to my flesh. ⁶ I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places. ⁷ I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone upon the house-top.

⁸² My eyes fail for thy word, while I say, When will thou comfort me?

¹²² Be surety for thy servant for good. Let not the proud oppress me. ¹²³ My eyes fail for thy salvation, and for thy righteous word.

¹ To thee do I lift up my eyes, O thou who sit in the heavens. ² Behold, as the eyes of servants to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are to LORD our God, until he has mercy upon us. ³ Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. ⁴ Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

⁷ Make haste to answer me, O LORD, my spirit fails. Hide not thy face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit.

¹¹ We all roar like bears, and moan greatly like doves. We look for justice, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far off from us.

¹⁷ Our eyes do yet fail in looking for our vain help. In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.

¹⁶ But those of them who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys. All of them moaning, each one in his iniquity.

⁷ And it is decreed. She is uncovered. She is carried away, and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts.

⁸ Oh, Lord, what shall I say after Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!

¹⁰ And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to LORD, and wept much.

²⁷ And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

²⁷ And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away, but the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is vexed within her, and LORD has hid it from me, and has not told me.

¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken thy commandments,

¹¹ Therefore I will not refrain my mouth. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

¹ My soul is weary of my life. I will give free reign to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

²⁵ And another man dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.

⁹ I was mute. I opened not my mouth, because thou did it. ¹⁰ Remove thy stroke away from me. I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But because of this I came to this hour.

³ And he humbled thee, and allowed thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knew not, neither did thy fathers know, that he might make thee know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of LORD.

¹⁹ He also is chastened with pain upon his bed, and with continual strife in his bones, ²⁰ so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food. ²¹ His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seen. And his bones that were not seen stick out. ²² Yea, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers. ²³ If there be with him an agent, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him, ²⁴ then God is gracious to him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom. ²⁵ His flesh shall be fresher than a child's. He returns to the days of his youth. ²⁶ He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy, and he restores to man his righteousness. ²⁷ He sings before men, and says, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me. ²⁸ He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall behold the light.

²⁰ Thou, who have shown us many and great troubles, will revive us again, and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

²⁵ My soul clings to the dust. Enliven thou me according to thy word.

⁵ Thou meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember thee in thy ways. Behold, thou were angry, and we sinned. Therefore we have erred.

⁴ But having answered, he said, It is written, Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word coming out through the mouth of God.

³² But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned with the world.

¹⁷ For our slight momentary affliction works for us an eternal weight of glory from extraordinariness to extraordinariness,

¹⁰ For those men indeed for a few days chastened us according to that which seemed good to them, but he for that which is advantageous, in order to be partakers of his holiness. ¹¹ But of course no chastening for the present seems to be of joy but of sorrow, yet afterward it yields peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

²⁵ For the thing which I fear comes upon me, and that which I am afraid of comes to me. ²⁶ I am not at ease, nor am I quiet, neither have I rest, but trouble comes.

¹⁸ Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.

² In the pride of the wicked man the poor man is hotly pursued. Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

³ O LORD, thou have brought up my soul from Sheol. Thou have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. ⁷ Thou, LORD, of thy favor had made my mountain to stand strong. Thou hid thy face; I was troubled.

² He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

² Thou have forgiven the iniquity of thy people. Thou have covered all their sin. Selah.

¹³ For great is thy loving kindness toward me, and thou have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

⁴ I am reckoned with those who go down into the pit. I am as a man who has no help, ⁵ cast off among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom thou remember no more, and they are cut off from thy hand. ⁶ Thou have laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps.

²⁵ I, even I, am he who blots out thy transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.

³⁴ And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know LORD, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

⁶ I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.

¹⁸ Who is a God like to thee, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness. ¹⁹ He will again have compassion upon us. He will tread our iniquities under foot, and thou will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

³³ So they, and all that pertained to them, went down alive into Sheol. And the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly.

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee. In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

⁹ What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?

¹⁰ Will thou show wonders to the dead? Shall those who are deceased arise and praise thee? Selah. ¹¹ Shall thy loving kindness be declared in the grave, or thy faithfulness in destruction?

¹⁷ The dead do not praise LORD, nor any who go down into silence, ¹⁸ but we will bless LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye LORD.

³² An evil man is thrust down in his evil-doing, but a righteous man has hope in his death.

¹² but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

⁴⁶ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

²⁶ And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those here who want to cross over to you are not able, nor may those go across from there to us. ²⁷ And he said, I beg thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house, ²⁸ for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment. ²⁹ But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them. ³⁰ And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent. ³¹ And he said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if some man would rise from the dead.

¹⁹ For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of LORD, to do righteousness and justice, to the end that LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he has spoken of him.

²⁶ And it shall come to pass, when your sons shall say to you, What do ye mean by this service? ²⁷ that ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of LORD's Passover, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshiped.

¹⁴ And it shall be, when thy son asks thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shall say to him, By strength of hand LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to LORD all that opens the womb, being males, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.

⁹ Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes saw, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life, but make them known to thy sons and thy son's sons-

⁷ And thou shall teach them diligently to thy sons, and shall talk of them when thou sit in thy house, and when thou walk by the way, and when thou lie down, and when thou rise up.

¹⁹ And ye shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when thou sit in thy house, and when thou walk by the way, and when thou lie down, and when thou rise up.

²¹ And he spoke to the sons of Israel, saying, When your sons shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What do these stones mean? ²² Then ye shall let your sons know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.

³ which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. ⁴ We will not hide them from their sons, telling to the generation to come the praises of LORD, and his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done. ⁵ For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their sons, ⁶ that the generation to come might know, even the sons who should be born, who should arise and tell to their sons,

¹⁷ I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of LORD.

¹⁷⁵ Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee. And let thine ordinances help me.

⁴ One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

² While I live I will praise LORD. I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.

³ Tell ye your sons of it, and let your sons tell their sons, and their sons another generation.

⁴ I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. Night comes when no man can work.

¹³ Have mercy upon me, O LORD. Behold my affliction from those who hate me, thou who lifts me up from the gates of death ¹⁴ that I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

⁵ For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up upon a rock. ⁶ And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy. I will sing, yea, I will sing praises to LORD.

² Give thanks to LORD with the harp. Sing praises to him with the psaltery of ten strings.

¹⁵ O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

¹³ I will come into thy house with burnt offerings. I will pay thee my vows, ¹⁴ which my lips uttered, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress. ¹⁵ I will offer to thee burnt offerings of fatlings, with the incense of rams. I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

²⁵ The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.

² Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call as long as I live.

¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of LORD. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows to LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ in the courts of LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye LORD.

² Every day I will bless thee, and I will praise thy name forever and ever.

⁴ Praise him with timbrel and dance. Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe.

¹⁹ LORD, the Lord, is my strength. And he makes my feet like hinds' feet, and will make me to walk upon my high places.

⁷ And Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. ⁸ And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What shall be the sign that LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of LORD the third day?

³³ And having taken him from the multitude in private, he put his fingers into his ears, and having spat, he touched his tongue.

⁶ Having said these things, he spat toward the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man.

⁸ And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What shall be the sign that LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of LORD the third day?

¹ As the hart pants after the water brooks, so my soul pants after thee, O God. ² My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

¹ How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! ² My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out to the living God.

¹⁰ For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. ¹¹ For LORD God is a sun and a shield. LORD will give grace and glory. He will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly. ¹² O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in thee.

¹ I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of LORD.

¹⁴ After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou have become well. Sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.
