¹ And Mordecai knew all that was done, and Mordecai will rend his garments, and put on sackcloth and ashes, and he will go forth into the city, and he will cry out a great and bitter cry; ² And he will come even before the king's gate: for none to come into the king's gate in putting on sackcloth. ³ And in every province and province the place where the word of the king and his edict coming, great mourning to the Jews, and fasting and weeping and wailing; sackcloth and ashes will be spread to many.

¹⁶ Go collect together all the Jews being found in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and ye shall not eat and ye shall not drink three days, night and day also I and my maidens will fast thus and in this I will go in to the king which is not according to the edict; and according to that I perished, I perished.

¹³ And all this was not an equivalent to me in all the time which I see Mordecai the Jew sitting in the king's gate.

¹² And Mordecai will turn back to the king's gate. And Haman hastened to his house, and the head covered. ¹³ And Haman will recount to Zeresh his wife, and to all his friends, all which befell him. And his wise men and Zeresh his wife will say to him, If Mordecai be from the seed of the Jews which thou didst begin to fall before him, thou shalt not prevail against him; for falling, thou shalt fall before him.

⁴ And the adversary will answer Jehovah and say, Skin for skin, and all which is to a man he will give for his soul.

⁸ And he will take to him a pot sherd to scrape himself with it, and he will sit in the midst of the ashes.

² For to the foolish, and anger will slay, and the simple will jealousy kill.

¹⁶ With him strength and purpose:to him the one led astray and him leading astray. ¹⁷ Leading away counselors stripped off and he will make foolish the judges

¹⁷ Leading away counselors stripped off and he will make foolish the judges ¹⁸ He loosed the bonds of kings, and he will gird upon their loins a girdle.

¹⁸ He loosed the bonds of kings, and he will gird upon their loins a girdle. ¹⁹ Leading away priests stripped off, and he will overthrow the mighty.

⁶ Thy mouth will condemn thee, and not I: and thy lips will testify against thee.

³⁵ He conceiving trouble and he bringing forth vanity, and their belly shall prepare deceit

¹⁸ Because of wrath, lest he shall remove thee with smiting, and a multitude of covering shall not turn thee away.

¹¹ Scatter the overflowings of thine anger, and see every proud one and bring him low. ¹² See every proud one, and humble him; and crush the unjust in their place.

¹⁴ Behold, lie will bring forth vanity, and he conceived trouble, and he will bring forth falsehood.

³ For the unjust boasted upon the desire of his soul, and he blessed him plundering, despising Jehovah.

¹⁶ Jehovah is King forever and ever: the nations perished from his land.

²⁵ With the kind thou wilt show thyself kind; and with the blameless man thou wilt be perfect

¹⁴ Wait for Jehovah: be strong, and thy heart shall be strengthened: and wait for Jehovah.

¹⁶ The king was not saved by much strength: the strong one will not be delivered by much power.

⁴ He will purpose vanity upon his bed; he will set himself upon a way not good; he will not reject evil

⁶ Nations raged, kingdoms were moved: he gave with his voice, the earth will melt

⁷ A man redeeming shall not redeem the brother, he shall not give to God his ransom:

²¹ These things thou didst and I was silent; thou thoughtest, being, I shall be like to thee: I will reprove thee, and I will set it in order before thine eyes. ²² Understand now this, ye forgetting God, lest I shall rend and none delivering.

¹⁰ The just one shall rejoice as seeing vengeance: he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the unjust one. ¹¹ And man shall say, Truly, fruit to the just one: truly there is a God judging in the earth.

³ How long will ye set upon a man? ye will kill all of you: as a wall inclining, a wall thrust down.

¹⁰ Wherefore shall the nations say, Where is their God? He will make known among the nations before our eyes the vengeance of the blood of thy servants being poured out.

¹⁸ And they shall know that thou, thy name Jehovah alone, the Most High over all the earth.

⁴⁰ And the anger of Jehovah will kindle against his people, and he will abhor his inheritance. ⁴¹ And he will give them into the hand of the nations; and they hating them shall rule over them. ⁴² And their enemies will press them, and they shall be humbled under their hand. ⁴³ Many times he will deliver them, and they will embitter with their counsel, and they will be brought low in their iniquity.

² Wherefore shall the nations say, Where now their God? ³ And our God is in the heavens; did all that he delighted in.

¹ Song of ascensions. I will lift up mine eyes to the mountains from whence shall come my help. ² My help from Jehovah; he made the heavens and the earth.

² Who reckoned evils in the heart; all the day they will gather together wars.

¹⁴ Perverseness in his heart, fabricating evil in all time, he will send forth strifes.

³⁵ He will not lift up the face of any ransom, and he will not be willing if thou shalt increase the reward.

¹⁴ In no guidance the people will fall: and salvation in a multitude of counseling.

²⁷ He seeking good shall strive after acceptance: and he seeking evil, it shall come to him.

⁸ The expiating of a man's soul is his riches: and the poor will not hear rebuke.

¹⁰ The name of Jehovah a tower of strength: into it the just one shall run and be exalted.

¹² Before a breaking a man's heart will be lifted up, and before honor, humility.

³ The folly of man will subvert his way: and his heart will be angry against Jehovah.

¹⁸ The purpose shall be prepared by counsel, and with guidance make war.

²⁸ Mercy and truth shall guard the king: and his throne he upheld in mercy.

²⁹ To whom wo? to whom want? to whom strife? to whom complaint? to whom wounds gratuitously? to whom dark fleshings of the eyes? ³⁰ To those remaining at the wine; to those going to seek mixed wine. ³¹ Thou shalt not look upon wine when it shall be red, when it shall give its eye in the cup, it will go about in uprightnesses. ³² Its latter state it will bite as serpent, and sting as a viper.

² For their heart will meditate destruction, and their lips will speak labor.

¹³ As the cold of snow in the day of harvest a faithful messenger to those sending him: he shall restore the soul of his lord.

¹ Thou shalt not boast upon the day of the morrow, for thou shalt not know what a day shall bring forth.

⁴ Not for kings, O Lemuel, not for kings to drink and for princes the desire of strong drink: ⁵ Lest he shall drink and forget what is prescribed, and change the judgment of all the sons of affliction.

¹¹ I turned back, and saw under the sun that not to the fleet the race, and the war not to the strong, and also not to the wise, bread; and also not to the understanding ones, riches; and also not to the knowing, favor; for time and chance will light upon all of them.

¹⁶ Wo! to thee, O land: thy king a youth, and thy chiefs will eat in the morning. ¹⁷ Happy thou, O land: thy king the son of nobles, and thy chiefs shall eat in time, in strength and not in drinking.

¹¹ The lofty eyes of man were humbled, and the height of men bowed down, and Jehovah alone was exalted in that day. ¹² For the day to Jehovah of armies is upon all the haughty and the high, and upon all lifted up; and he was humbled:

¹ And it will be in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin, king of Aram came up, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to Jerusalem, to war against her, and he was not able to fight against her. ² And it will be announced to the house of David, saying, Aram rested upon Ephraim; and his heart will move to and fro and the heart of his people, as the woods of the forest moved from the face of the wind. ³ And Jehovah will say to Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou and Shear-Jashub thy son, at the extremity of the channel of the highest pool of the highway, of the fuller's field; ⁴ And say to him, Watch and rest; thou shalt not fear, and thy heart shall not be tender from the two tails of these smoking fire-brands, upon the heat of anger of Rezin and Aram, and the son of Remaliah. ⁵ Because Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, will counsel evil against thee, saying, ⁶ We will go up against Judah and terrify her and subdue her for us, and we will make a king in the midst of her, the son of Tabeal: ⁷ Thus said the Lord Jehovah, It shall not stand, and it shall not be. ⁸ For the head of Aram, Damascus, and the head of Damascus, Rezin, and in yet sixty and five years Ephraim shall be broken from a people. ⁹ And the head of Ephraim, Shomeron, and the head of Shomeron, the son of Remaliah. If ye will not believe, because ye will not believe.

⁹ Make friendship, ye peoples, and be broken in pieces; and give ear, every land from afar; be girded and be broken in pieces; be girded and be broken in pieces.

¹² Ye shall not say, A conspiracy to all whom this people shall say a conspiracy; and ye shall not fear their fear, and ye shall not be afraid.

¹⁸ Behold me and the children which Jehovah gave to me for signs and for wonders in Israel from Jehovah of armies dwelling in mount Zion.

⁸ For he will say, Are not my chiefs united together kings?

¹² And it was when the Lord will complete all his work upon mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will review upon the fruit of the great heart of the king of Assur and upon the glory of his eyes lifted up. ¹³ For he said, By strength of my hand I did, and by my wisdom, for I was discreet: and I will remove the bounds of the people, and their things prepared I plundered, and I will bring down as a strong one the inhabitants. ¹⁴ And my hand will find as a nest for the strength of the peoples: and as he gathering eggs left, I gathered all the land; and there was not moving the wing, and opening wide the mouth, and peeping. ¹⁵ Shall the axe vaunt itself against him hewing with it? shall the saw magnify itself against him moving it up and down? as the rod moving up and down with those lifting it up; as the lifting up of the rod not wood. ¹⁶ For this shall Jehovah, the Lord of armies send among his fatnesses leanness; and under his glory he shall burn a burning as the burning of fire.

⁵ And the throne was set up in mercy: and he sat upon it in truth in the tent of David, judging and seeking judgment, and hastening justice.

² In that time spake Jehovah by the hand of Isaiah, son of Amos, saying, Go loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thou shalt draw off the shoe from thy foot And he will do so, going naked and barefoot ³ And Jehovah will say, As my servant Isaiah went naked and barefoot three years, a sign and miracle upon Egypt and upon Cush:

¹² And the Lord Jehovah of armies in that day will call to weeping and to wailing, and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth:

¹⁸ And it was he fleeing from the voice of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he coming up out of the midst of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from the height were opened, and the foundations of the earth, will tremble.

¹⁰ Shall the unjust be shown favor? He learnt not justice; in the land of justice he will act perversely, and he will not see the majesty of Jehovah. ¹¹ O Jehovah, high thy hand, they will not see: they shall see and be ashamed for their jealousy of the people; also the fire of thine enemies shall consume them.

² And the king of Assur will send Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a weighty army. And he will stand by the channel of the higher pool in the highway of the fuller's field. ³ And Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, will come forth, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah Asaph's son, remembering. ⁴ And Rabshakeh will say to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus said the king, the great king of Assur, What this trust in which thou trustedst? ⁵ I said, (also a word of the lips) Counsel and strength for the war; now upon whom trustedst thou that thou didst rebel against me? ⁶ Behold, thou trustedst upon the staff of this broken reed, upon Egypt; which, shall a man rest upon it, it was into his hand and pierced it: thus Pharaoh king of Egypt to all trusting upon him. ⁷ And if thou shalt say to me, We trusted to Jehovah our God: is it not he whom Hezekiah turned away his heights, and his altars, and he will say to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar shall ye worship? ⁸ And now, become surety now, to my lord the king of Assur, and I will give to thee two thousand horses if thou shalt be able to give to thee riders upon them. ⁹ And how wilt thou turn back the face of one prefect of the servants of my lord, the smallest of them, aid trust for thee upon Egypt for chariot and for horsemen I ¹⁰ And now came I up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it ¹¹ And Eliakim will say, and Shebna, and Joah, to Rabshakeh, Speak now to thy servants Aramean, for we hear; and thou shalt not speak to us Judaic in the ears of the people who are upon the wall ¹² And Rabshakeh will say, Did my lord send me to thy lord and to thee to speak these words? did he not to the men sitting upon the wall to eat their excrements and to drink their urine with you? ¹³ And Rabshakeh will stand and call with a great voice in Judaic, and say, Hear ye the words of the king, the great king of Assur. ¹⁴ Thus said the king, Hezekiah shall not lift up to you, for he will not be able to deliver you. ¹⁵ And Hezekiah shall not cause you to trust to Jehovah, saying, Delivering, Jehovah will deliver us: this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assur. ¹⁶ Ye shall not hear to Hezekiah; for thus said the king of Assur, Make to me a blessing, and come forth to me: and eat a man of his vine and a man of his fig tree, and drink ye a man water of his cistern; ¹⁷ Till my coming and I took you to a land as your land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards. ¹⁸ Lest Hezekiah shall stimulate you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Did each of the gods of the nations deliver his land from the hand of the king of Assur? ¹⁹ Where the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where the gods of Sepharvaim? and when have they delivered Shomeron from my hand? ²⁰ Who among all the gods of these lands who delivered their land from my hand, that Jehovah will deliver Jerusalem from my hand? ²¹ And they will be silent and not answer him a word: for this the command of the king, saying, Ye shall not answer. ²² And Eliakim son of Hilkiah who was over the house, will go in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, remembering, to Hezekiah, their garments rent, and they will announce to him the words of Rabshakeh.

¹ And it will be when king Hezekiah heard, and he will rend his garments, and he will be covered with sackcloth and go in to the house of Jehovah.

⁹ And he heard concerning Tirhakah, king of Cush, saying, He came forth to war with thee. And he will hear, and send messengers to Hezekiah, saying, ¹⁰ Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Thy God in whom thou trustest shall not lift thee up in him, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assur.

²⁰ And now, Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall know that thou alone art Jehovah.

²⁴ By the hand of thy servants thou didst reproach Jehovah, and wilt thou say, By the multitude of my chariots I came up to the height of the mountains, to the thighs of Lebanon; and I will cut down the stature of his cedars, the choicest of his cypresses: and I will go into the height of his extremity, the forest of his Carmel.

²⁴ By the hand of thy servants thou didst reproach Jehovah, and wilt thou say, By the multitude of my chariots I came up to the height of the mountains, to the thighs of Lebanon; and I will cut down the stature of his cedars, the choicest of his cypresses: and I will go into the height of his extremity, the forest of his Carmel. ²⁵ I dug and drank water; and I will dry up with the sole of my footstep all the rivers of Egypt,

²⁹ Because thine anger against me and thine arrogance came up into mine ear, and I put my hook in thy nose and my curb in thy lips, and I turned thee back in the way which thou camest in it ³⁰ And this the sign to thee: To eat this year the self-sown; and in the second year, that growing of itself: and in the third year, sow and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruits. ³¹ And the escaping of the house of Judah being left shall add a root downward and make fruit upward: ³² For from Jerusalem shall come forth a remnant, and the escaping from mount Zion: the zeal of Jehovah of armies shall do this. ³³ For this, thus said Jehovah concerning the king of Assur, Thou shalt not come into this city, and thou shalt not shoot an arrow there, and thou shalt not go before it with a shield, and thou shalt not cast a mound against it. ³⁴ In the way which he came in it he shall turn back, and to this city he shall not come in, says Jehovah. ³⁵ And I covered over this city to Save it for my sake, and for the sake of David my servant. ³⁶ And the messenger of Jehovah will go forth, and strike in the camp of Assur a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they will rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them dead corpses.

³⁶ And the messenger of Jehovah will go forth, and strike in the camp of Assur a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they will rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them dead corpses. ³⁷ And Senherib king of Assur will remove and go and turn back and dwell in Nineveh.

⁸ I Jehovah, this my name: and my glory I will not give to another, and my praise to carved images.

⁹ They forming a carved image all of them emptiness; and their delights shall not profit, and they are their witnesses; they will not see and they will not know, so that they shall be ashamed.

¹⁵ Behold, gathering, it shall gather together, not from me: who sojourned with thee shall fall for thee.

²⁶ O daughter of my people, gird on sackcloth, and roll thyself in ashes: make to thee the mourning of an only begotten, a wailing of bitterness; for he laying waste shall suddenly come upon us.

⁷ If our iniquities answered against us, O Jehovah, do for sake of thy name: for our turnings back were many; we sinned against thee.

³⁴ Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves, ye chiefs of the flocks; for your days for slaughter and your dispersions were filled up, and ye fell as a vessel of desire.

² Thus said Jehovah to me: Make to thee bonds and rods and give them upon thy neck, ³ And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of messengers coming to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;

¹⁰ And say to them, Thus said Jehovah of armies, God of Israel, Behold me sending and I took Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, my servant, and I set his throne from above these stones which I hid; and he spread his tapestry upon them.

⁴⁴ He fleeing from the face of fear shall fall into the pit; and he coming up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, upon Moab, the years of their reviewing, says Jehovah.

²⁷ And I will kindle a fire in the walls of Damascus, and it consumed the palaces of the son of Hadad.

⁷ Jerusalem remembered the days of her affliction and her wanderings, all her delights which were from the days of old in the falling of her people into the hand of the enemy, and none helping for her: the adversaries saw her; they laughed at her calamities.

¹⁰ The adversary spread out his hand upon all her delights, for she saw the nations came in to her holy place, which thou didst command they shall not come in to the convocation to thee.

³ And thou, take to thee an iron pan and give it a wall of iron between thee and between the city: and prepare thy face against it, and she was in siege, and press upon her. This a sign to the house of Israel.

⁷ And the wounded fell in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

¹⁴ And I stretched forth my hand upon them, and I gave the land a desolation and an astonishment from the desert of Diblath, in all their dwellings: and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

¹² And ye shall know That I am Jehovah: for in my laws ye went not, and my judgments ye did not; and according to the judgments of the nations round about you ye did.

¹⁶ And I left of them men of number, from the sword and from famine, and from death, so that they shall recount all their abominations among the nations where they went there; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

⁹ And I will do for sake of my name, that it was not profaned before the eyes of the nations which they were in the midst of them, which I was made known to them before their eyes to bring them forth from the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ And I shall do for sake of my name, that it was not polluted before the eyes of the nations which I brought them forth before their eyes

²² And I turned back my hand; and I will do for sake of my name, that it was not profaned before the eyes of the nations which I brought them forth before their eyes.

⁷ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Behold me bringing upon Tyre Nebuchadezzar king of Babel, from the north, a king of kings, with horse and with chariot, and with horsemen, and a convocation, and much people.

²¹ And I will spare for my holy name that the house of Israel profaned among the nations where they went there. ²² For this, say to the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I do not for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name which ye profaned among the nations where ye went there. ²³ And I consecrated my great name, being profaned among the nations which ye profaned, in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, says the Lord Jehovah, in my being consecrated among you before your eyes.

³² I did not for your sakes, says the Lord Jehovah, it shall be known to you: be ashamed and be disgraced for your ways, O house of Israel

⁷ And I will make known my holy name in the midst of my people Israel; and I will no more profane my holy name: and the nations shall know that am Jehovah, the Holy One in Israel.

³⁷ Thou, O king, a king of kings: for the God of the heavens gave to thee a kingdom strong and powerful, and splendid.

³⁷ Now I Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and honor to the king of the heavens, that all his works are truth, and his paths judgment: and that they going about in pride, he being able to bring low.

² Belshazzar said, in tasting the wine, to bring in for the vessels of gold and silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father brought forth from the temple that was in Jerusalem; and in them the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, will drink.

²⁰ And when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was strong for pride, he was brought down from the throne of his kingdom, and they took away his honor from him. ²¹ And he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made level with the beasts, and with wild asses his dwelling: they will feed him with the green herb as oxen, and from the dew of the heavens his body will be wet; till that he knew that God the Most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and to whom he will, he will set up over it. ²² And thou his son, O Belshazzar, didst not humble thy heart because that thou knewest all this; ²³ And against the Lord of the heavens thou didst lift up thyself; and for the vessels of his house they brought before thee, and thou and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines, drinking wine in them; and to the gods of silver and gold, brass, iron, wood, and stone, who see not, and hear not, and know not, thou didst praise: and to the God whom thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways to him, thou didst not honor.

³⁰ In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans was killed.

²⁷ And they two kings, their heart for doing evil, and at one table they will speak falsehood; and it shall not prosper: for yet the end at the appointment

¹¹ Fornication and wine and new wine will take away the heart.

¹⁵ If he shall bear fruit in the midst of his brethren, the east wind shall come, the wind of Jehovah came up from the desert, and his fountain shall be dried up, and he shall lay waste his place of fountains: he shall plunder the treasure of all vessels of desire.

⁵ For ye took my silver and my gold, and my delights of good things ye brought to your temples.

⁹ Call ye this among the nations: Consecrate war; rouse up the strong ones, they shall draw near, all the men of war shall come up. ¹⁰ Beat your plough-shares into swords, and your pruning-knives into spears: the weak shall say, I am strong.

¹⁷ And ye knew that I am Jehovah your God dwelling in Zion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem was holy, and strangers shall no more pass through her.

⁴ And I sent fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of the son of Hadad.

¹⁴ And flight perished from the swift; and the strong shall not strengthen his power, and the mighty shall not save his soul. ¹⁵ And he holding the bow shall not stand; and the swift with his feet shall not escape: and he riding the horse shall not save his soul.

¹⁹ According as a man will flee from the face of the lion and the bear struck upon him, and he came into the house and leaned his hand upon the wall, and the serpent bit him.

¹⁴ And Amos will answer and say to Amaziah, I am no prophet, and I not the son of a prophet; for I a herdsman, and gathering figs of the sycamores.

³ And if they shall hide in the head of Carmel, from thence will I search and take them; and if they shall be concealed from before mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, from thence I will command the serpent, and he bit them.

³ The pride of thy heart deceived thee, dwelling in the refuges of the rock, the height his seat; he said in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the earth? ⁴ If thou shalt exalt as the eagle, and set thy nest between the stars, from thence will I bring thee down, says Jehovah.

⁵ And the men of Nineveh will believe in God, and they will call a fast, and put on sackcloth, from great and even to small. ⁶ And the word will reach to the king of Nineveh, and he will rise from his throne, and he will take away his wide cloak from off him, and he will cover with sackcloth, and he will sit upon ashes.

¹⁶ And when ye fast, be not, as hypocrites, of gloomy aspect: for they conceal their faces that they might appear to men fasting. Verily I say to you, That they have their reward.

²⁸ And fear not from those killing the body, and not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him able to destroy also soul and body in hell.

²⁴ Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any wish to come after me, let him deny himself absolutely, and lift up his cross, and follow me.

⁴¹ They say to him, He will miserably destroy these wicked, and let out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons. ⁴² Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the writings, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner? This was from the Lord, and it was wonderful in your eyes. ⁴³ For this I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation doing its fruits.

²⁴ And he also having received one talent, having come near, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou scatteredst not: ²⁵ And having been afraid, having gone away, I concealed thy talent in the earth; see, thou hast thine own. ²⁶ And his lord having answered, said to him, O evil and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I scattered not: ²⁷ Thou therefore oughtest to have cast my silver to the money changers, and I having come, had received mine own, with interest

³³ And Peter having answered, said to him, And if all men shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized. ³⁴ Jesus says to him, Truly I say to thee that in this night, before the cock utters a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. ³⁵ Peter says to him, Though it should be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee: likewise also said all the disciples.

⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, having said to him, That before the cock utter a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. And having gone forth without, he wept bitterly.

¹ And be began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence round, and digged a winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. ² And he sent a servant to the husbandmen in time, that he might receive of the husbandmen from the fruit of the vineyard. ³ And they, taking him, stripped, and sent away empty. ⁴ And again he sent to them another servant; and having stoned the same they treated in a summary manner, and sent away despised. ⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; truly stripping some, and killing some. ⁶ Yet therefore having one dearly beloved son, and him he sent last to them, saying, That they will be changed by my son. ⁷ And these husbandmen said with themselves, That this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's. ⁸ And they having taken him, killed, and cast out of the vineyard. ⁹ Therefore what will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the hushandmen, and give the vineyard to others. ¹⁰ And have ye not read this writing; The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner: ¹¹ This was of the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes? ¹² And they sought to seize him, and they feared the crowd: for they knew that he spake this parable against them: and having let him go they went away.

⁴ Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that these were debtors above all men dwelling in Jerusalem?

⁸ And the Lord praised the steward of injustice, because he did wisely: for the sons of this life are wiser than the children of light in their generation.

²² And he said to him, Out of thy month will I judge thee, O evil servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I sowed not:

³⁴ And attend to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be loaded with dizziness, caused by excess, and drunkenness, and cares of life, and that day come upon you unexpectedly.

³¹ And he said, How can I, except somebody guide me? And he called upon Philip coming up to sit with him.

¹² And it being day, certain of the Jews having made a condition, anathematized themselves, saying, neither to eat or drink till they kill Paul.

²¹ Wherefore having known God, not as God did they honour or return thanks; but were rendered vain in their conversations, and their heart without understanding was darkened. ²² Declaring themselves to be wise, they were fools, ²³ And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of flying things, and of creeping things, and of quadrupeds.

¹³ Their throat an opened tomb; with their tongues have they used deceit; the poison of asps under their lips: ¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursing and harshness: ¹⁵ Their feet active to pour out blood: ¹⁶ Bruising and grievous toil in their ways: ¹⁷ And the way of peace they knew not: ¹⁸ The fear of God is not before their eyes.

²⁷ But the foolish things of the world, has God chosen that he might shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen that he might shame things strong; ²⁸ And the ignoble things of the world, and the despised things, has God chosen, and things not being, that the things being he might leave unemployed: ²⁹ That no flesh might boast before him.

⁷ In whom we have redemption by his blood, the letting go of faults, according to the riches of his grace; ⁸ In which he abounded to us in all wisdom and intelligence;

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit;
