²⁹ In his days Pharaoh-Nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and king Josiah went against him; but [Nechoh] slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

²⁹ These are their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam; ³⁰ Mishma and Dumah; Massa, Hadad, and Tema; ³¹ Jetur, Naphish, and Kedmah: those are the sons of Ishmael. ³² -- And the sons of Keturah, Abraham`s concubine: she bore Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. And the sons of Jokshan: Sheba and Dedan.

³² -- And the sons of Keturah, Abraham`s concubine: she bore Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. And the sons of Jokshan: Sheba and Dedan. ³³ And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah.

¹⁹ And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab; ²⁰ and they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them, because they put their trust in him.

¹³ And he put garrisons in Edom; and all they of Edom became servants to David. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.

²⁸ And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour; and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

¹¹ But Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand. ¹² And the children of Judah took ten thousand captive, alive, and brought them to the top of the cliff, and cast them down from the top of the cliff, so that they all were broken in pieces.

¹³ and prayed to him. And he was intreated of him and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah, he was God.

²³ And we fasted, and besought our God for this; and he was entreated of us.

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.

³ And his substance was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; and this man was greater than all the children of the east.

⁸ And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil?

³ And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil? and still he remaineth firm in his integrity, though thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.

¹¹ And three friends of Job heard of all this evil that was come upon him. And they came each one from his place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.

²⁶ Thou shalt come to the grave in a ripe age, as a shock of corn is brought in in its season.

¹⁹ The caravans of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba counted on them:

¹⁵ What is the Almighty that we should serve him? and what are we profited if we pray unto him?

¹⁷ Who said unto ?God, Depart from us! and what could the Almighty do to them?

⁹ For he hath said, It profiteth not a man if he delight himself in God.

¹⁷ And Job died, old and full of days.

¹⁴ From men [who are] thy hand, O Jehovah, from men of this age: their portion is in [this] life, and their belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]; they have their fill of sons, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their children. ¹⁵ As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

³⁷ Mark the perfect, and behold the upright, for the end of [that] man is peace;

¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

⁸ Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me. ⁹ Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

² O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

¹⁸ Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even [for] the rebellious, for the dwelling [there] of Jah Elohim.

¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer tribute:

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.

⁵ For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee. ⁶ The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites;

⁶ The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites; ⁷ Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre; ⁸ Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah. ⁹ Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon: ¹⁰ Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground. ¹¹ Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna. ¹² For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God`s dwelling-places in possession. ¹³ O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind. ¹⁴ As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire, ¹⁵ So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind.

¹⁵ He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him.

²⁴ And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word,

⁵ Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

³ Lo, children are an inheritance from Jehovah, [and] the fruit of the womb a reward.

¹⁹ He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them.

²⁴ The fear of a wicked [man], it shall come upon him; but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

²⁵ The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; but the belly of the wicked shall want.

²⁹ The glory of young men is their strength; and the beauty of old men is the grey head.

¹⁵ And I commended mirth, because there is nothing better for man under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry; for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun.

⁵ I am black, but comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon.

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

¹¹ The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

¹⁶ For thus hath the Lord said unto me: Within a year, according to the years of a hired servant, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail;

¹⁶ For thus hath the Lord said unto me: Within a year, according to the years of a hired servant, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail; ¹⁷ and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, shall be diminished: for Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath spoken.

¹³ and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: -- Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

¹ Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and all its fulness; the world, and all that cometh forth of it. ² For the wrath of Jehovah is against all the nations, and [his] fury against all their armies: he hath devoted them to destruction, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. ³ And their slain shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up from their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. ⁴ And all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as a leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as the withered [fruit] from the fig-tree. ⁵ For my sword is bathed in the heavens; behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my ban, to judgment. ⁶ The sword of Jehovah 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 Jehovah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. ⁷ And the buffaloes shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. ⁸ For it is the day of Jehovah`s vengeance, the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion. ⁹ And the torrents thereof shall be turned into pitch, and its dust into brimstone; yea, the land thereof shall become burning pitch: ¹⁰ it shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever. ¹¹ And the pelican and the bittern shall possess it, and the great owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And he shall stretch out upon it the line of waste, and the plummets of emptiness. ¹² Of her nobles who should proclaim the kingdom, none are there; and all her princes shall be nought. ¹³ And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in her fortresses; and it shall be a dwelling-place of wild dogs, a court for ostriches. ¹⁴ And there shall the beasts of the desert meet with the jackals, and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; the lilith also shall settle there, and find for herself a place of rest. ¹⁵ There shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow; there also shall the vultures be gathered one with another. ¹⁶ Search ye in the book of Jehovah and read: not one of these shall fail, one shall not have to seek for the other; for my mouth, it hath commanded, and his Spirit, it hath gathered them. ¹⁷ For he himself hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them with the line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

³⁰ Even the youths shall faint and shall tire, and the young men shall stumble and fall; ³¹ but they that wait upon Jehovah shall renew [their] strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not tire; they shall walk, and not faint.

¹¹ Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains:

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.

⁹ Then shalt thou call, and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger and the unjust speech,

⁶ A multitude of camels shall cover thee, young camels of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall publish the praises of Jehovah. ⁷ All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall serve thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will beautify the house of my magnificence.

¹ Who is this that cometh from Edom, with deep-red garments from Bozrah, this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? -- I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. ² -- Wherefore is redness in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? ³ I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples not a man was with me; and I have trodden them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel. ⁴ For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed had come. ⁵ And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: and mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. ⁶ And I have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to the earth.

²⁴ And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

¹¹ And I am full of the fury of Jehovah, I am weary with holding in. Pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken; the aged with him [that is] full of days.

²³ Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners [of their beard] cut off;

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

⁷ Concerning Edom. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Is there no more wisdom in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom spent? ⁸ Flee, turn back, dwell deep down, ye inhabitants of Dedan! For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I visit him.

⁸ Flee, turn back, dwell deep down, ye inhabitants of Dedan! For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I visit him. ⁹ If grape-gatherers had come to thee, would they not have left a gleaning? If thieves by night, they would destroy only till they had enough. ¹⁰ But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, that he is unable to hide himself: his seed is wasted, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not. ¹¹ Leave thine orphans, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me. ¹² For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup shall assuredly drink; and thou indeed, shouldest thou be altogether unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink. ¹³ For I have sworn by myself, saith Jehovah, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes. ¹⁴ I have heard a rumour from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations: -- Gather yourselves together, and come against her and rise up for the battle. ¹⁵ For behold, I have made thee small among the nations, despised among men. ¹⁶ Thy terribleness, the pride of thy heart, hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill. Though thou shouldest make thy nest high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah. ¹⁷ And Edom shall be an astonishment: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss, because of all the plagues thereof. ¹⁸ As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and their neighbour cities, saith Jehovah, no one shall dwell there, neither shall a son of man sojourn therein. ¹⁹ Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will make them suddenly run away from it; and who is a chosen [man] whom I shall appoint over her? For who is like me? and who will assign me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? ²⁰ Therefore hear the counsel of Jehovah, which he hath taken against Edom, and his purposes which he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: The little ones of the flock shall certainly draw them away; he shall certainly make their habitation desolate for them. ²¹ The earth quaketh at the sound of their fall; there is a cry, the sound whereof is heard in the Red sea. ²² Behold, he shall come up, and fly as an eagle, and spread forth his wings against Bozrah; and at that day the heart of the mighty men of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

³¹ And when ye offer your gifts, making your sons to pass through the fire, ye defile yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day; and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.

¹² Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath made himself very guilty, and revenged himself upon them, ¹³ therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also stretch out my hand upon Edom; and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and unto Dedan shall they fall by the sword.

¹³ therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also stretch out my hand upon Edom; and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and unto Dedan shall they fall by the sword. ¹⁴ And I will execute my vengeance upon Edom, by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord Jehovah.

⁶ Of the oaks of Bashan did they make thine oars; they made thy benches of ivory, inlaid in box-wood, out of the isles of Chittim.

²⁰ Dedan was thy trafficker in precious riding-cloths.

¹ And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, ² Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, ³ and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment. ⁴ I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be a desolation: and thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah. ⁵ Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword, in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end; ⁶ therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will certainly appoint thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou hast not hated blood, blood shall pursue thee. ⁷ And I will make mount Seir a desolation and an astonishment, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth; ⁸ and I will fill his mountains with his slain. In thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy water-courses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. ⁹ I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah. ¹⁰ Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas Jehovah was there: ¹¹ therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine envy, as thou hast done out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee. ¹² And thou shalt know that I Jehovah have heard all thy reproaches, which thou hast uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour. ¹³ And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them]. ¹⁴ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee a desolation. ¹⁵ As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolated, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be a desolation, O mount Seir, and all Edom, the whole of it: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

³⁷ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it unto them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

³ He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and in his strength he wrestled with God.

¹¹ Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity; and his anger did tear continually, and he kept his wrath for ever. ¹² And I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

¹ The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard a report from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations. Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. ² Behold, I have made thee small among the nations; thou art greatly despised. ³ The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; -- he that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? ⁴ Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith Jehovah. ⁵ If thieves had come to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen [till] they had had enough? If grape-gatherers had come to thee, would they not have left some gleanings? ⁶ How is Esau searched! his hidden things sought out! ⁷ All the men of thy confederacy have pushed thee to the border; the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, they have prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread have laid a snare under thee. There is no understanding in him. ⁸ Shall I not in that day, saith Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? ⁹ And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter. ¹⁰ Because of violence against thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. ¹¹ In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away captive his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. ¹² But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor have opened wide thy mouth in the day of distress. ¹³ Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity, nor have looked, even thou, on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither shouldest thou have laid [hands] on their substance in the day of their calamity; ¹⁴ and thou shouldest not have stood on the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape, nor have delivered up those remaining of him in the day of distress. ¹⁵ For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy recompence shall return upon thine own head. ¹⁶ For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

¹³ And Jehovah said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty silver-pieces, and cast them to the potter in the house of Jehovah.

² I have loved you, saith Jehovah; but ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob`s brother? saith Jehovah, and I loved Jacob, ³ and I hated Esau; and made his mountains a desolation, and [gave] his inheritance to the jackals of the wilderness. ⁴ If Edom say, We are broken down, but we will build again the ruined places, -- thus saith Jehovah of hosts: They shall build, but I will throw down; and [men] shall call them the territory of wickedness, and the people against whom Jehovah hath indignation for ever. ⁵ And your eyes shall see [it], and ye shall say, Jehovah is magnified beyond the border of Israel.

¹⁴ Ye say, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we keep his charge, and that we walk mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?

² Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Juda and his brethren;

⁴⁵ that ye may be [the] sons of your Father who is in [the] heavens; for he makes his sun rise on evil and good, and sends rain on just and unjust.

²⁷ All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son but the Father, nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son may be pleased to reveal [him].

⁵ But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.

¹⁵ and said, What are ye willing to give me, and *I* will deliver him up to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁸ And Jesus coming up spoke to them, saying, All power has been given me in heaven and upon earth.

²³ And he swore to her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask me I will give thee, to half of my kingdom.

⁷ And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.

¹³ But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

³⁴ of Jacob, of Isaac, of Abraham, of Terah, of Nachor,

²⁷ And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.

¹¹ But of whom of you that is a father shall a son ask bread, and [the father] shall give him a stone? or also a fish, and instead of a fish shall give him a serpent? ¹² or if also he shall ask an egg, shall give him a scorpion? ¹³ If therefore *ye*, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall the Father who is of heaven give [the] Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

¹⁸ And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused. ¹⁹ And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused. ²⁰ And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things [to be] in his hand.

² as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that [as to] all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life eternal.

⁵ And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired. And great fear came upon all who heard [it].

¹⁰ And she fell down immediately at his feet and expired. And when the young men came in they found her dead; and, having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.

⁸ And he gave to him [the] covenant of circumcision; and thus he begat Isaac and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

²³ And immediately an angel of [the] Lord smote him, because he did not give the glory to God, and he expired, eaten of worms.

³⁶ For David indeed, having in his own generation ministered to the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers and saw corruption.

⁴¹ Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish; for *I* work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe if one declare it to you.

¹⁷ though indeed he did not leave himself without witness, doing good, and giving to you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁷ And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ`s joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with [him], that we may also be glorified with [him].

³² He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things?

⁷ nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee. ⁸ That is, [they that are] the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed. ⁹ For this word [is] of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah. ¹⁰ And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father,

¹⁰ And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father, ¹¹ [the children] indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls),

¹¹ [the children] indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls), ¹² it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less:

¹² it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less: ¹³ according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.

²¹ So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours. ²² Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or [the] world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours; ²³ and *ye* [are] Christ`s, and Christ [is] God`s.

³² If, [to speak] after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if [those that are] dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

²⁹ but if *ye* [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham`s seed, heirs according to promise.

²⁸ But *ye*, brethren, after the pattern of Isaac, are children of promise.

¹⁸ (for many walk of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they [are] the enemies of the cross of Christ: ¹⁹ whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:)

¹⁹ for in him all the fulness [of the Godhead] was pleased to dwell,

² at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

¹⁶ For men indeed swear by a greater, and with them the oath is a term to all dispute, as making matters sure.

⁹ By faith he sojourned as a stranger in the land of promise as a foreign country, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with [him] of the same promise;

¹⁶ lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright;

¹⁶ lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright; ¹⁷ for ye know that also afterwards, desiring to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, (for he found no place for repentance) although he sought it earnestly with tears.
