¹⁶ For this cause says the Lord God, See, I am placing in Zion as a base, a stone, a tested stone, an angle-stone which is certain and of great value: and he who has faith will not give way.

¹⁹ The living, the living man, he will give you praise, as I do this day: the father will give the story of your mercy to his children.

¹⁶ This is the word of the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, and a road through the deep waters;

²⁷ Who says to the deep, Be dry, and I will make your rivers dry:

¹⁰ Did you not make the sea dry, the waters of the great deep? did you not make the deep waters of the sea a way for the Lord's people to go through?

¹³ In place of the thorn will come up the fir-tree, and in place of the blackberry the myrtle: and it will be to the Lord for a name, for an eternal sign which will not be cut off.

¹² He who made the arm of his glory go at the right hand of Moses, by whom the waters were parted before them, to make himself an eternal name; ¹³ He who made them go through the deep waters, like a horse in the waste land? ¹⁴ Like the cattle which go down into the valley, they went without falling, the spirit of the Lord guiding them: so you went before your people, to make yourself a great name.

³ He who puts an ox to death puts a man to death; he who makes an offering of a lamb puts a dog to death; he who makes a meal offering makes an offering of pig's blood; he who makes an offering of perfumes for a sign gives worship to an image: as they have gone after their desires, and their soul takes pleasure in their disgusting things;

⁶ There is no one like you, O Lord; you are great and your name is great in power. ⁷ Who would not have fear of you, O King of the nations? for it is your right: for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.

⁴⁰ And I will make an eternal agreement with them, that I will never give them up, but ever do them good; and I will put the fear of me in their hearts, so that they will not go away from me.

⁵ But the Chaldaean army went after them and overtook Zedekiah in the lowlands of Jericho: and they made him a prisoner and took him up to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, to be judged by him.

⁸ And the Chaldaean army went after King Zedekiah and overtook him on the other side of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.

¹² And further, I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, so that it might be clear that I, who make them holy, am the Lord.

²⁰ And keep my Sabbaths holy; and they will be a sign between me and you so that it may be clear to you that I am the Lord your God.

²⁶ Then Nebuchadnezzar came near the door of the burning and flaming fire: he made answer and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come out and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the fire.

²⁶ Then Nebuchadnezzar came near the door of the burning and flaming fire: he made answer and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come out and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the fire. ²⁷ And the captains, the chiefs, and the rulers, and the king's wise men who had come together, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had no power, and not a hair of their heads was burned, and their coats were not changed, and there was no smell of fire about them. ²⁸ Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that they might not be servants or worshippers of any other god but their God. ²⁹ And it is my decision that any people, nation, or language saying evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, will be cut to bits and their houses made waste: because there is no other god who is able to give salvation such as this.

³⁴ And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up my eyes to heaven, got back my reason, and, blessing the Most High, I gave praise and honour to him who is living for ever, whose rule is an eternal rule and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation. ³⁵ And all the people of the earth are as nothing: he does his pleasure in the army of heaven and among the people of the earth: and no one is able to keep back his hand, or say to him, What are you doing?

²⁶ It is my order that in all the kingdom of which I am ruler, men are to be shaking with fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, unchanging for ever, and his kingdom is one which will never come to destruction, his rule will go on to the end. ²⁷ He gives salvation and makes men free from danger, and does signs and wonders in heaven and earth, who has kept Daniel safe from the power of the lions.

⁴ Come to Beth-el and do evil; to Gilgal, increasing the number of your sins; come with your offerings every morning and your tenths every three days:

⁵ Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing.

⁵ O my people, keep in mind now what was designed by Balak, king of Moab, and the answer which Balaam, son of Beor, gave him; the events, from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may be certain of the upright acts of the Lord.

¹ And he got together his twelve disciples and gave them the power of driving out unclean spirits, and of making well all sorts of disease and pain. ² Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother; ³ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax-farmer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; ⁴ Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who was false to him. ⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out and gave them orders, saying, Do not go among the Gentiles, or into any town of Samaria,

⁸ For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day.

¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.

¹⁴ And he took twelve to be with him, so that he might send them out as preachers, ¹⁵ And give them the power of driving out evil spirits: ¹⁶ To Simon he gave the second name of Peter; ¹⁷ And to James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James, he gave the second name of Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder: ¹⁸ And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot; ¹⁹ And Judas Iscariot, who was false to him.

⁴⁰ And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out.

³⁹ For the word of God is for you and for your children and for all those who are far off, even all those who may be marked out by the Lord our God.

²³ And when they had given them a great number of blows, they put them in prison, giving orders to the keeper of the prison to keep them safely:

³⁵ But when it was day, the authorities sent the police, saying, Let these men go. ³⁶ And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace. ³⁷ But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out. ³⁸ And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans; ³⁹ Then they came and made prayers to them, requesting them, when they had taken them out, to go away from the town.

⁴ For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer.

² And they all had baptism from Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

²⁴ And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

² For he says, I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation:

¹¹ Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One.

⁷ And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears, ⁸ Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,

¹⁹ And the house of God which is in heaven was open; and the ark of his agreement was seen in his house, and there were flames and voices and thunders and an earth-shock and a rain of ice.

¹² And the sixth let what was in his vessel come out on the great river Euphrates; and it became dry, so that the way might be made ready for the kings from the east.
