⁹ Then Satan answered LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?

⁵ The sea is his, and he made it. And his hands formed the dry land. ⁶ O come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before LORD our maker.

²⁶ O give thanks to the God of heaven, for his loving kindness is forever.

⁵ Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in LORD his God, ⁶ who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever,

¹⁸ that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his companions should nor perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. ¹⁹ Then the secret was shown to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty of it be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

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.

¹⁵ and saying, Men, why are ye doing these things? We also are men of like nature with you, proclaiming good news to you, to turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all the things in them,

²³ For, passing through and examining your religious objects, I also found an altar on which had been engraved, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye worship unknowingly, him I proclaim to you. ²⁴ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands, ²⁵ nor is he served by the hands of men, as needing anything, since he himself gives to all life, and breath, with all things.

²³ For there stood by me this night an agent of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,

⁵ in circumcision the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; regarding law, a Pharisee;

¹³ And in that day a great earthquake occurred, and the tenth part of the city fell. And seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake. And the rest became afraid, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

⁴ Who will, no, not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name, because thou alone are holy? Because all the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous deeds were made known.

¹¹ And they blasphemed the God of heaven from their pains and from their sores. And they did not repent of their works.

²⁵ And Joshua said, Why have thou troubled us? LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.

³ And Joab said to the king, Now LORD thy God add to the people, however many they may be, a hundredfold, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it, but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?

²² For God shall hurl at him, and not spare. He would gladly flee out of his hand.

⁶ Then the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him. And the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. ⁷ The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation of it, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. ⁸ Then all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation. ⁹ Then king Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.

³ But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of LORD. And he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare of it, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of LORD.

⁸ When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was more afraid.

² And the Philistines called for the priests and the psychics, saying, What shall we do with the ark of LORD? Show us with what we shall sent it to its place. ³ And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty, but by all means return for him a trespass offering. Then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.

¹ And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of LORD. And LORD said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites. ² And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and yet Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah), ³ and David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement that ye may bless the inheritance of LORD? ⁴ And the Gibeonites said to him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that I will do for you. ⁵ And they said to the king, The man who consumed us, and who devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel, ⁶ let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of LORD. And the king said, I will give them.

¹¹ And when David rose up in the morning, the word of LORD came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying, ¹² Go and speak to David, Thus says LORD, I offer thee three things. Choose thee one of them, that I may do it to thee. ¹³ So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come to thee in thy land? Or will thou flee three months before thy foes while they pursue thee? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? Now decide, and see what answer I shall return to him who sent me.

⁶ With what shall I come before LORD, and bow myself before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? ⁷ Will LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

¹² Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies because they have become accursed. I will not be with you any more unless ye destroy what was set apart from among you.

²⁰ And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against LORD, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: ²¹ When I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them. And, behold, they are hid in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

¹⁷ And David spoke to LORD when he saw the agent who smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done perversely, but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

¹⁷ And David said to God, Is it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? Even I it is who have sinned and done very badly. But these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be against me, and against my father's house, but not against thy people, that they should be plagued.

¹⁸ Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

⁵⁰ nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not the whole nation should perish.

²⁴ saying, Fear not, Paul. Thou must stand before Caesar, and lo, God has granted thee all those sailing with thee.

²⁹ When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hides his face, who then can behold him? It is the same whether to a nation, or to a man,

³⁰ There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against LORD.

⁶ Whoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. For in the image of God he made man.

⁸ Forgive, O LORD, thy people Israel whom thou have redeemed, and allow no innocent blood to remain in the midst of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them.

²⁸ Then they cry to LORD in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distresses.

³ But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.

⁶ Whatever LORD pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps,

¹⁶ LORD, in trouble they have visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

³⁴ And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me. And I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever. For his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation. ³⁵ And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing, and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth. And none can stay his hand, or say to him, What are thou doing?

⁵ Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god. And they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it to them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he lay, and was fast asleep.

²⁶ Yea, Father, because this way it was done pleasing in thy sight.

⁴ And when the foreigners saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to each other, Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, though saved from the sea, Justice did not allow to live.

⁹ Having made known to us the mystery of his will according to his desire, which he purposed within himself

¹¹ in him in whom also we obtained an inheritance. Having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the deliberation of his will,

²⁴ And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them up to the valley of Achor. ²⁵ And Joshua said, Why have thou troubled us? LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones. ²⁶ And they raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day, and LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor to this day.

⁸ But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite. ⁹ And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites. And they hanged them in the mountain before LORD, and they fell all seven together. And they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.

⁷ who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

⁹ Thou rule the pride of the sea. When the waves of it arise, thou still them.

³ The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice, the floods lift up their waves. ⁴ Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, LORD on high is mighty.

²⁹ He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves of it are still.

²⁶ And he says to them, Why are ye cowardly, O ye of little faith? Then after rising, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there became a great calm.

²⁴ And having approached, they awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing. And having risen, he rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it became calm.

²⁰ And Noah built an altar to LORD, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

²⁰ And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

¹⁶ And the agent of LORD said to Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread, and if thou will make ready a burnt offering, thou must offer it to LORD. For Manoah did not know that he was the agent of LORD.

¹⁷ And Naaman said, If not, yet, I pray thee, let there be given to thy servant two mules' burden of dirt, for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to LORD.

¹⁴ Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay thy vows to the Most High.

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. ¹⁶ Come, and hear, all ye who fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.

²² And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing.

¹⁴ I will pay my vows to LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people.

⁴ When thou vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which thou vow.

⁹ With my soul I have desired thee in the night. Yea, with my spirit within me I will seek thee earnestly. For when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

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. ⁶ The multitude of camels shall cover thee. The dromedaries of Midian and Ephah, all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of LORD. ⁷ All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to thee. The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to thee. They shall come up with acceptance on my altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

³⁴ And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me. And I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever. For his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation. ³⁵ And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing, and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth. And none can stay his hand, or say to him, What are thou doing? ³⁶ At the same time my understanding returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me, and my counselors and my lords sought to me. And I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me. ³⁷ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways justice. And he is able to abase those who walk in pride.

²⁶ I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, and steadfast forever. And his kingdom is that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even to the end.

¹⁰ Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, What is this that thou have done? For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of LORD, because he had told them.

³¹ It is like a grain of the mustard plant, which, when it is sown in the ground, is smaller than all the seeds upon the ground.

¹¹ And great fear developed in the whole church, and in all who heard these things.

²¹ And God created the great sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

²⁵ Yonder is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts. ²⁶ There go the ships. There is leviathan, whom thou have formed to play in it.

⁶ And LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very glad because of the gourd.

² O LORD, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid. O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath remember mercy.

⁴⁰ For as Jonah was in the belly of the sea-creature three days and three nights, so the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

³⁰ For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of man will be to this generation.
