Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps. ²⁷ And their inhabitants were powerless, they were dismayed and put to shame; they were [as] the grass of the field and the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up. ²⁸ But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me. ²⁹ Because thy raging against me and thine arrogance is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will make thee go back by the way by which thou camest. ³⁰ And this [shall be] the sign unto thee: there shall be eaten this year such as groweth of itself; and in the second year that which springeth of the same; but in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof. ³¹ And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward; ³² for out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that escape: the zeal of Jehovah of hosts shall do this. ³³ Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it. ³⁴ By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah. ³⁵ And I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David`s sake. ³⁶ And an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand.

And I said, Lord Jehovah, thou knowest. ⁴ And he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, Ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah. ⁵ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. ⁶ And I will put sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah. ⁷ And I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a rustling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. ⁸ And I looked, and behold, sinews and flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them. ⁹ And he said unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. ¹⁰ And I prophesied as he had commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. ¹¹ And he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off!

¹⁴ And I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; and they shall make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

²² But *I* say unto you, that every one that is lightly angry with his brother shall be subject to the judgment; but whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be subject to [be called before] the sanhedrim; but whosoever shall say, Fool, shall be subject to the penalty of the hell of fire.

¹⁷ Fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold? ¹⁸ And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor. ¹⁹ [Fools and] blind ones, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift? ²⁰ He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it. ²¹ And he that swears by the temple swears by it and by him that dwells in it. ²² And he that swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him that sits upon it. ²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and ye have left aside the weightier matters of the law, judgment and mercy and faith: these ye ought to have done and not have left those aside. ²⁴ Blind guides, who strain out the gnat, but drink down the camel. ²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of rapine and intemperance. ²⁶ Blind Pharisee, make clean first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that their outside also may become clean. ²⁷ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are like whited sepulchres, which appear beautiful outwardly, but within are full of dead men`s bones and all uncleanness. ²⁸ Thus also *ye*, outwardly ye appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. ²⁹ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the tombs of the just, ³⁰ and ye say, If we had been in the days of our fathers we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. ³¹ So that ye bear witness of yourselves that ye are sons of those who slew the prophets: ³² and *ye*, fill ye up the measure of your fathers. ³³ Serpents, offspring of vipers, how should ye escape the judgment of hell? ³⁴ Therefore, behold, *I* send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and [some] of them ye will kill and crucify, and [some] of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will persecute from city to city; ³⁵ so that all righteous blood shed upon the earth should come upon *you*, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. ³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [the city] that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! ³⁸ Behold, your house is left unto you desolate; ³⁹ for I say unto you, Ye shall in no wise see me henceforth until ye say, Blessed [be] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord.

²⁰ But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?

²¹ Because, knowing God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:

²⁸ And according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things;

¹⁰ according as it is written, There is not a righteous [man], not even one; ¹¹ there is not the [man] that understands, there is not one that seeks after God. ¹² All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one:

¹² All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one: ¹³ their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; asps` poison [is] under their lips: ¹⁴ whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; ¹⁵ swift their feet to shed blood; ¹⁶ ruin and misery [are] in their ways, ¹⁷ and way of peace they have not known: ¹⁸ there is no fear of God before their eyes. ¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment to God. ²⁰ Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law [is] knowledge of sin. ²¹ But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets; ²² righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all, and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference; ²³ for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ²⁴ being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which [is] in Christ Jesus; ²⁵ whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God; ²⁶ for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus. ²⁷ Where then [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith; ²⁸ for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law. ²⁹ Is [God] the God of Jews only? is he not of [the] nations also? Yea, of nations also: ³⁰ since indeed [it is] one God who shall justify [the] circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith. ³¹ Do we then make void law by faith? Far be the thought: [no,] but we establish law.

¹ Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God`s fear.

¹² for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say.

³ For the time past [is] sufficient [for us] to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.

²⁹ If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.

¹¹ Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He that does good is of God. He that does evil has not seen God.

¹⁶ And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire;

¹¹ Let him that does unrighteously do unrighteously still; and let the filthy make himself filthy still; and let him that is righteous practise righteousness still; and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.
