And Pharaoh awoke. ⁵ And he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn grew up on one stalk, fat and good. ⁶ And behold, seven ears, thin and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them. ⁷ And the thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke; and behold, it was a dream. ⁸ And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the scribes of Egypt, and all the sages who were therein, and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none to interpret them to Pharaoh. ⁹ Then spoke the chief of the cup-bearers to Pharaoh, saying, I remember mine offences this day. ¹⁰ Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard`s house, me and the chief of the bakers. ¹¹ And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his dream. ¹² And there was there with us a Hebrew youth, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told [them], and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each he interpreted according to his dream. ¹³ And it came to pass, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he hanged. ¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph; and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon.

And I awoke. ²² And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good. ²³ And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them; ²⁴ and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known to me. ²⁵ And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh. ²⁶ The seven fine kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. ²⁷ And the seven lean and bad kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears, parched with the east wind, will be seven years of famine. ²⁸ This is the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: what God is about to do he has let Pharaoh see. ²⁹ Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout the land of Egypt. ³⁰ And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will waste away the land. ³¹ And the plenty will not be known afterwards in the land by reason of that famine; for it will be very grievous. ³² And as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by God, and God will hasten to do it. ³³ And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. ³⁴ Let Pharaoh do [this]: let him appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty, ³⁵ and let them gather all the food of these coming good years, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, for food in the cities, and keep [it]. ³⁶ And let the food be as store for the land for the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine.

¹ And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the face of the earth. ² And Elijah went to shew himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria. ³ And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the steward of his house (now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly; ⁴ and it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water); ⁵ and Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the fountains of water and to all the torrents, perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and the mules alive, so that we may not have to destroy some of [our] beasts. ⁶ And they divided the land between them to pass through it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. ⁷ And as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him; and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it indeed thou, my lord Elijah? ⁸ And he said to him, I [am he]: go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah! ⁹ And he said, What have I sinned, that thou givest thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to put me to death? ¹⁰ As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom whither my lord has not sent to seek thee; and when they said, He is not [here], he took an oath of the kingdom or nation that they found thee not. ¹¹ And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah! ¹² And it shall come to pass when I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah shall carry thee whither I know not; and when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will kill me; and I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth. ¹³ Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah`s prophets by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water? <sup>14</sup> And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah! and he will kill me. <sup>15</sup> And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will certainly shew myself to him to-day. <sup>16</sup> Then Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah. <sup>17</sup> And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it thou, the troubler of Israel? <sup>18</sup> And he said, I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father`s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed the Baals. ¹⁹ And now send, gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, who eat at Jezebel`s table. <sup>20</sup> So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. <sup>21</sup> Then Elijah drew near to all the people, and said, How long do ye halt between two opinions? if Jehovah be God, follow him; and if Baal, follow him. And the people answered him not a word. <sup>22</sup> And Elijah said to the people, I, only I, remain a prophet of Jehovah; and Baal`s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. ²³ Let them therefore give us two bullocks: and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and put it on the wood, and put no fire; and I will sacrifice the other bullock, and put it on the wood, and put no fire. ²⁴ And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the god that answers by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, The word is good. ²⁵ And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bullock for yourselves, and sacrifice it first; for ye are the many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire. ²⁶ And they took the bullock which had been given them, and sacrificed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, answer us! But there was no voice, and none answered. And they leaped about the altar that had been made. ²⁷ And it came to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god; for he is meditating, or gone aside, or he is on a journey; perhaps he sleeps, and will awake. ²⁸ And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and spears, till the blood gushed out upon them. ²⁹ And it came to pass when midday was past, that they prophesied until the [time] of the offering up of the oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any that answered, nor any attention. ³⁰ Then Elijah said to all the people, Draw near to me. And all the people drew near to him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah which was broken down. ³¹ And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Jehovah came saying, Israel shall be thy name; ³² and with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah, and made a trench round about the altar, of the capacity of two measures of seed; ³³ and he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four pitchers with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood. ³⁴ And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time. ³⁵ And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. ³⁶ And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering up of the oblation, that Elijah the prophet drew near, and said, Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things by thy word. ³⁷ Answer me, Jehovah, answer me, that this people may know that thou Jehovah art God, and [that] *thou* hast turned their heart back again. ³⁸ And the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. ³⁹ And all the people saw [it], and they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah, he is God! Jehovah, he is God! ⁴⁰ And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape! And they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the torrent of Kishon, and slaughtered them there. ⁴¹ And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. ⁴² And Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed down on the earth, and put his face between his knees. ⁴³ And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked, and said, [There is] nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. ⁴⁴ And it came to pass at the seventh time that he said, Behold there is a cloud, small as a man`s hand, arising out of the sea. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Harness and go down, that the pour of rain stop thee not. ⁴⁵ And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heavens became black [with] clouds and wind, and there was a great pour of rain. And Ahab got on the chariot, and went to Jizreel. ⁴⁶ And the hand of Jehovah was upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jizreel.

¹¹ And Naaman was wroth, and went away and said, Behold, I thought, He will certainly come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Jehovah his God, and wave his hand over the place, and cure the leper.

² And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz. ³ And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of reviling; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. ⁴ It may be Jehovah thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God; and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left.

³ Ah! Jehovah, remember, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done what is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept much.

²² [Saying,] Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.

³ And Joab said, Jehovah add to his people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold: are they not all, my lord O king, my lord`s servants? why does my lord require this thing? why should he become a trespass to Israel? <sup>4</sup> But the king`s word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] to Jerusalem. ⁵ And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were eleven hundred thousand men that drew sword; and of Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword. ⁶ But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king`s word was abominable to Joab.

¹⁷ And David said to God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned and done evil; but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, Jehovah my God, be on me and on my father`s house; but not on thy people, that they should be smitten.

¹⁷ And I know, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart have I willingly offered all these things; and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, offer willingly to thee.

¹³ And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar; and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that none of them was left alive; for they were crushed before Jehovah and before his army. And they carried away very much spoil. ¹⁴ And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the terror of Jehovah came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities, for there was very much spoil in them.

² And Jehu the son of Hanani, the seer, went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate Jehovah? Therefore is wrath upon thee from Jehovah.

³⁷ And Eliezer the son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah has broken thy works. And the ships were broken, and could not go to Tarshish.

³¹ However in [the matter of] the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all [that was] in his heart.

¹⁰ that they may present sweet odours to the God of the heavens, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.

¹⁵ But the former governors that were before me had been chargeable to the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver: even their servants bore rule over the people. But I did not so, because of the fear of God.

¹ There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and this man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and abstained from evil.

¹² Now to me a word was secretly brought, and mine ear received a whisper thereof. ¹³ In thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men: --

²⁸ And unto man he said, Lo, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

⁹ I am clean without transgression; I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me;

¹⁵ In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

¹⁹ [How then to him] that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich man more than the poor? for they are all the work of his hands.

⁸ And now, take for yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for him will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, for ye have not spoken of me rightly, like my servant Job. ⁹ Then Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did according as Jehovah had said unto them; and Jehovah accepted Job. ¹⁰ And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he had prayed for his friends; and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.

⁸ Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.

⁴ Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

⁴ He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:

¹⁴ The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.

²¹ Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

⁶ I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

⁸ The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

¹ {To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David.} The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes. ² For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful. ³ The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good. ⁴ He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.

⁴ Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.

⁵ They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

¹³ Truly have I purified my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency:

⁷² And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart, and led them by the skilfulness of his hands.

¹² So I gave them up unto their own hearts` stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.

¹¹ For Jehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

⁹ Which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; ¹⁰ And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto Israel for an everlasting covenant, ¹¹ Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; ¹² When they were a few men in number, of small account, and strangers in it. ¹³ And they went from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. ¹⁴ He suffered no man to oppress them, and reproved kings for their sakes,

¹⁴ He suffered no man to oppress them, and reproved kings for their sakes, ¹⁵ [Saying,] Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.

⁷ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: fools despise wisdom and instruction.

⁵ then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.

¹³ The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth do I hate.

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; reprove a wise [man], and he will love thee. ⁹ Impart to a wise [man], and he will become yet wiser; teach a righteous [man], and he will increase learning.

³ The integrity of the upright guideth them; but the crookedness of the unfaithful destroyeth them.

¹ Whoso loveth discipline loveth knowledge, but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

²⁹ Jehovah is far from the wicked; but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

⁶ By loving-kindness and truth iniquity is atoned for; and by the fear of Jehovah [men] depart from evil.

⁷ The righteous walketh in his integrity: blessed are his children after him!

¹ The king`s heart in the hand of Jehovah is [as] brooks of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

¹⁶ For the righteous falleth seven times, and riseth up again; but the wicked stumble into disaster.

¹² An ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, is a wise reprover upon an attentive ear.

⁵ Open rebuke is better than hidden love.

¹⁰ Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, shall himself fall into his own pit; but the perfect shall inherit good.

²⁰ Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good and sinneth not.

¹¹ Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.

¹¹ And Jehovah said unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.

¹ And Jehovah said unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, my soul [would] not [turn] toward this people. Send [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.

¹⁸ But if they be prophets, and if the word of Jehovah be with them, let them now make intercession to Jehovah of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

¹⁸ When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, that he may live: the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

⁸ When I say unto the wicked, Wicked [man], thou shalt certainly die; and thou speakest not to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

¹⁴ And when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die, and he turneth from his sin, and doeth judgment and justice;

¹⁴ And when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die, and he turneth from his sin, and doeth judgment and justice; ¹⁵ if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, doing nothing that is wrong; he shall certainly live, he shall not die.

¹⁵ if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, doing nothing that is wrong; he shall certainly live, he shall not die. ¹⁶ None of his sins which he hath committed shall be remembered against him: he hath done judgment and justice; he shall certainly live.

²² My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions` mouths, that they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

⁶ Therefore behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns; and I will fence [her] in with a wall, that she shall not find her paths. ⁷ And she shall pursue after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, and shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for then was it better with me than now.

⁶ And the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, sleeper? arise, call upon thy God; perhaps God will think upon us, that we perish not.

⁴ And Jonah began to enter into the city a day`s journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!

²⁰ but while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to [thee] Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit.

¹² And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. ¹³ Now, they having departed, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Arise, take to [thee] the little child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee; for Herod will seek the little child to destroy it.

³ and said to him, Go out of thy land and out of thy kindred, and come into the land which I will shew thee. ⁴ Then going out of the land of the Chaldeans he dwelt in Charran, and thence, after his father died, he removed him into this land in which *ye* now dwell. ⁵ And he did not give him an inheritance in it, not even what his foot could stand on; and promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when he had no child.

¹¹ for there is no acceptance of persons with God.

¹⁸ there is no fear of God before their eyes.

¹ But concerning the things of which ye have written [to me]: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman;

⁴ He that speaks with a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies [the] assembly.

¹² For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God`s grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.

¹⁰ *Ye* [are] witnesses, and God, how piously and righteously and blamelessly we have conducted ourselves with you that believe:

²² hold aloof from every form of wickedness.

²⁵ Brethren, pray for us.

⁷ For the mystery of lawlessness already works; only [there is] he who restrains now until he be gone,

¹¹ And for this reason God sends to them a working of error, that they should believe what is false,

¹³ who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.

¹¹ who must have their mouths stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which ought not [to be taught] for the sake of base gain.

¹ God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets,

⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, obeyed to go out into the place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and went out, not knowing where he was going.

⁴ [Let] marriage [be held] every way in honour, and the bed [be] undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge.

¹⁴ Is any sick among you? let him call to [him] the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of [the] Lord; ¹⁵ and the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he be one who has committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. ¹⁶ Confess therefore your offences to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed.

⁵ and if any one wills to injure them, fire goes out of their mouth, and devours their enemies. And if any one wills to injure them, thus must he be killed. ⁶ These have power to shut the heaven that no rain may fall during the days of their prophecy; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth as often as they will with every plague.
