⁹ To say to the bound, Go forth; to those in darkness, Uncover yourselves. They shall feed upon the ways, and in all naked hills their pastures. ¹⁰ They shall not hunger and they shall not thirst, and the heat shall not strike them, and the sun: for he pitying them shall lead them, and to fountains of water he shall conduct them.

¹³ And all thy sons taught of Jehovah; and much the peace of thy sons.

³ Incline your ear, and come to me, and hear, and your soul shall live; and I will cut out with you an eternal covenant, the sure mercies of David.

³ For your hands were polluted with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips spake falsehood, your tongue will mutter evil. ⁴ None called upon justice, and none judged in truth: trusting in vanity and speaking evil, they conceived labor and brought forth vanity. ⁵ They plundered vipers' eggs, and they will weave spiders webs: he eating from their eggs shall die, and being crushed, it shall break forth a viper.

⁸ The way of peace they knew not, and no judgment in their paths: they perverted their beaten paths for themselves: every one treading in it shall not know peace.

⁴ From the time didst thou not call to me, My father, thou the friend of my youth?

¹⁶ Thus said Jehovah, Stand ye upon the ways, and see, and ask for the beaten paths of old, where this the good way, and go ye in it, and find rest to your soul. And they will say, We will not go.

²⁴ But he boasting shall boast in this, to understand and know me, that I am Jehovah, doing mercy, judgment and justice in the earth: for in these I delighted, says Jehovah.

¹⁵ What is to my beloved in my house making mischief to many, and they shall cause the holy flesh to pass away from thee? for thou didst evil, then wilt thou exult

²³ Will the Cushite change his skin and the panther his variegated spots? Ye shall also be able to do good, being taught to do evil.

¹⁶ Thy words were found, and eating them; and thy word will be to me for the gladness and for the joy of my heart: for thy name was called upon me, Jehovah the God of armies.

⁷ And I gave to them a heart to know me, that I am Jehovah: and they were to me for a people, and I will be to them for God: for they shall turn back to me with all their heart

³⁴ And they shall teach no more a man his neighbor and a man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah: for they all shall know me to their small and even to their great, says Jehovah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and to their sin I will have no more remembrance

⁴⁰ And I cut out to them an eternal covenant that I will not turn back from after them, to do them good; and I will give my fear in their heart not to turn away from me. ⁴¹ And I rejoiced over them to do them good, and I planted them in this land in truth with all my heart and with all my soul

⁸ And I shall pass by thee and see thee, and behold, thy time the time of loves; and I shall spread my wing over thee and cover thy nakedness: and I shall swear to thee, and come into covenant with thee, says the Lord Jehovah, and thou shalt be to me.

⁵⁹ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: And doing with thee according as thou didst who despised the oath to break the covenant ⁶⁰ And I remembered my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I set up to thee an eternal covenant

²⁶ In the turning back of the just one from his justice, and doing iniquity and dying in them; in his iniquity which he did he shall die.

¹² And thou, son of man, say to the sons of my people, The justice of the just shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: and the injustice of the unjust, he shall not stumble in it in the day of his turning back from his injustice; and the just shall not be able to live in the day of his sinning. ¹³ In my saying to the just, living, he shall live; and he trusted upon his justice, and he did evil, all his justice shall not be remembered; and in his iniquity which he did he shall die in it

¹⁷ And these four children, God gave to them knowledge and understanding in all writing and wisdom: and Daniel understood in every vision and dreams.

²¹ And he changes the times and the seasons; removing kings and setting up kings; giving wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those knowing understanding.

²³ For thee, O God of my fathers, I praise and laud that thou gavest me wisdom and strength, and now didst make known to me what we sought from thee: for thou didst make known to us the king's word.

¹⁴ I will not review over your daughters when they shall commit fornication, and over your brides when they shall commit adultery: fur they will separate themselves with harlots, and with prostitutes will they sacrifice: and the people will not understand, they shall be thrown down.

³ And we shall know, we shall pursue to know Jehovah: as the morning his going forth was prepared; and he shall come as the rain to us, as the latter rain, the early rain of the earth.

³ By their evil they will gladden the king, and the chiefs by their falsehoods.

¹⁵ And he brought up a completion with the book, he will drag him in his net, and he will gather him in his fishnet: for this he will rejoice and be glad.

⁶ And those departing from after Jehovah, and who sought not Jehovah, and asked not for him.

¹¹ In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doing which thou didst transgress against me: for then will I remove from the midst of thee those exulting in thy pride, and thou shalt no more add to be elevated in my holy mountain.

¹⁴ And ye said, For what? For that Jehovah testified between thee and between the wife of thy youth, which thou didst deal faithlessly against her, and she thy companion and the wife of thy covenant ¹⁵ And did he not make one? And the remainder of the spirit to him. And why one? Seeking a seed of God. And ye matched in your spirit, and he shall not deal faithlessly against the wife of thy youth. ¹⁶ For he hated sending away, says Jehovah God of Israel: and he covered violence with his clothing, said Jehovah of armies: and ye watched in your spirit, and ye shall not deal faithlessly.

¹⁹ Treasure not up to you treasures upon earth, where moth and gnawing destroy, and thieves dig through and steal: ²⁰ But treasure to you treasures in heaven, where neither moth, nor gnawing destroy; and where thieves dig not through, nor steal. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone asking, receives and he seeking, finds; and to him knocking shall be opened.

¹³ Enter ye in through the strait gate, for broad the gate and spacious the way leading to destruction, and many are they coming in through it. ¹⁴ For strait the gate and afflicted the way leading into life, and few are they finding it.

²⁷ All things were delivered to me by my Father; and none knows the Son, except the Father; nor knows any one the Father, except the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal

⁴³ And when the unclean spirit has gone out from a man, he passes through sterile places, seeking rest, and finds not. ⁴⁴ Then says he, I will return into my house, whence I came out; and having come, he finds vacant; having been swept, and put in order. ⁴⁵ Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits, worse than he, and having come in, they dwell there: and the last things of that man are worse than the first. So also shall it be to this evil generation.

⁹ He having ears to hear let him hear.

⁴⁴ Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a treasure hid in the field; which a man finding, concealed, and from his joy, he retires, and all things which he has he sells, and he purchases that field.

²¹ Jesus said to him, If thou wished to be perfected, retire, sell thy possessions, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. ²² And the young man having heard the word, departed, being grieved: for he was holding many possessions.

²⁴ And again I say to you, It is of easier labor for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle, than for a rich one to come into the kingdom of God. ²⁵ And his disciples were greatly struck with amazement, saying, Who then can be saved? ²⁶ And Jesus having looked up said to them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

²⁹ And every one who lets go houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for the sake of my name, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life.

¹⁹ And Mary kept together all these sayings, reflecting in her heart.

⁵¹ And he went dawn with them, and came to Nazareth, and was placed under them : and his mother kept all these words in her heart.

⁴⁴ Put ye these words into your ears: for the Son of man is about to be delivered up into the bands of men.

²² All things were delivered me by my Father: and none knows who is the Son, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and to whomsoever the Son would wish to reveal.

⁹ And I say ' to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ¹⁰ For every one asking, receives; and he seeking, finds; and to him knocking, it shall be opened. . ¹¹ And shall a son ask bread of any of you a father, will he give him a stone ? and if a fish, for a fish he will not give him a serpent. ¹² Or also if he ask an egg, he will not give him a scorpion. ¹³ If then ye, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children; how much more the Father, be from heaven, will give the Holy Spirit to them asking him ?

¹³ If then ye, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children; how much more the Father, be from heaven, will give the Holy Spirit to them asking him ?

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.

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand.

⁴ And having departed, he conversed with the chief priests and the generals, how he might deliver him to them. ⁵ And they rejoiced, and agreed to give him silver.

⁶ A man was sent from God, the name to him John.

⁹ And when the superintendent of the feast tasted the wine having been water, and knew not whence it is: (and the servants knew, having drawn the water;) the superintendent calls the bridegroom, ¹⁰ And says to him, Every man sets good wine first; and when they be intoxicated, then inferior: thou hast kept the good wine till now. ¹¹ This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and men rather loved darkness than light, for their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one doing bad things hates the light, and he comes not to the light, lest his works should be rebuked.

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one therefore having heard and learned of the Father, comes to me.

²⁸ And I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, who has given to me, is greater than all; . and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

³⁵ Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little time the light is with you. Walk while ye have light, lest darkness overtake you: and he walking in darkness knows not where he retires.

⁴⁷ And if any hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. ⁴⁸ He rejecting me, and not receiving my words, has him judging him: the word which I spake, that shall judge him in the last day.

⁶ Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, except by me.

³ And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ.

¹¹ And they were of more noble birth than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all willingness, and examined the writings daily, if these things might hold thus.

³⁰ And of yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to tear away disciples after them.

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.

³² Who knowing the justice of God, that they doing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also approve those doing.

¹⁹ For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and put away the understanding of the intelligent.

²⁴ And to these the called, to both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and wisdom of God.

³⁰ And ye are of him in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and also justice, and consecration, and holiness:

⁶ But we speak wisdom among the perfected: and the wisdom not of this life, nor of the rulers of this life, they being left unemployed: ⁷ But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, hidden, which God determined beforehand, before the times to our glory:

¹⁸ Let none completely deceive himself. If any think to be wise in this life, let him be foolish, that he may he wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written, He seizing the wise in their deceptions.

⁹ Or know ye not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God Be ye not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ Nor thieves; nor covetous, nor intoxicated, nor railers, nor rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And these were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were consecrated, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

⁶ Rejoices not at injustice, and rejoices with the truth;

³³ Be not deceived: evil intercourses corrupt good habits.

¹⁷ Therefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you.

¹⁹ And the works of the flesh are manifest, which are; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, ²⁰ Idolatry, charm, enmities, strifes, jealousies, wraths, intriguings, seditions, sects ²¹ Envyings, slaughters, drunkenness, revelries, and the like: to these which I foretell you, as I have also said before, that they doing such shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, might give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in his knowledge: ¹⁸ The eyes of your understanding enlightened; for you to know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the holy ones,

⁵ For this ye are knowing, that every fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

¹⁵ See therefore how ye walk accurately, not as unwise, but as wise,

¹⁵ That ye be complete and pure, children of God, blameless in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom ye appear as luminaries in the world;

³ In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in, you richly; teaching and reminding one another in all wisdom, playing with harps, and songs, and spiritual odes, with grace singing in your hearts to the Lord.

⁵ Ye are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness. ⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as also the rest; but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For they sleeping sleep in the night; and they drunken are drunken in the night.

¹⁵ Faithful the word, and worthy of all acceptance, for Christ Jesus came into the world to save the sinful; of whom I am first.

¹⁵ And that from infancy thou hast known the holy letters, able to render thee wise to salvation by faith which in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All writing divinely inspired, and profitable for doctrine, for refutation, for correction, for instruction in justice: ¹⁷ That the man of God might be perfect, finished for every good work.

¹⁰ For Demas has forsaken me, having loved the time now, and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

⁴ For impossible for them once enlightened, and having tasted of the heavenly gift, and having partaken of the Holy Spirit, ⁵ And tasted of the good word of God, and powers of the life about to be, ⁶ And having fallen, again to renew to repentance; crucifying to themselves the Son of God, and exposing to ignominy.

¹² That ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them inheriting the promises by faith and longsnffering.

¹⁸ That by two unalterable deeds, in which it is impossible for God to deceive we might have a strong consolation, taking refuge in holding firmly the hope set before:

⁵ If any of you is forsaken of wisdom, let him ask of God, giving to all plainly, blaming not; and it shall be given him.

¹⁷ Every good donation and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom not one change, or shadow of turning.

¹⁵ This is wisdom coming not down from above, but earthly, natural, resembling an evil spirit. ¹⁶ For where envy and intrigue, there confusion and every bad deed. ¹⁷ And the wisdom from above is truly first pure, then peaceful, decorous, docile, full of mercy and good fruits, not separated, and unfeigned.

⁵ Who by the power of God watching ourselves by faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

²⁰ For if having escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and again entangling with these, they be conquered, the last things have been to them worse than the first. ²¹ For it was better for them not to have known the way of justice, than, having known, to turn back from the holy command delivererd to them. ²² And that of the true proverb has happened to them, The dog having turned back to his own vomit; and the sow having been washed to the rolling of the mire.

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they had remained with us, but, that they might be manifested, that they are not all of us.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, and we know him true, and we are in him true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

¹¹ Dearly beloved, imitate not evil, but good. He doing good is of God: and he doing evil has not seen God.

²⁴ And to him able to watch yourselves from falling, and to place blameless before his glory with transport of joy,

⁸ But to the cowardly, and unbelieving, and to the abominable, and murderers, and to fornicators, and charmers, and to idolaters, and to all the lying, their part in the lake burning with fire and sulphur: which is the second death,

¹⁵ And without, dogs, and charmers and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one loving and doing a lie.
