³³ But hearing this, they were being infuriated and were planning to assassinate them.

²⁸ Now we know that all things work together toward good, to those who love God, to those who are an invited one according to his purpose.

⁶ For whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and scourges every son whom he is accepting.’ ⁷ It is for disciplining that you endure; God is dealing with you as with sons; for what is the son whom his father is not disciplining? ⁸ But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, consequently, you are illegitimate and not sons. ⁹ Thereafter, we have indeed had the fathers of our flesh as correctors of us, and we were revering them. Will we not much rather be made subject to the Father of spirits and we will live? ¹⁰ For they indeed were disciplining us for a few days according to what did seem right to them, but he does it upon what is advantageous for us, that we may receive of his holiness. ¹¹ Now indeed all disciplining does not seem to be a thing of joy for the present, but of sorrow; now later it gives peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised because of it.

You* will not diminish any of it.

¹⁰ And the taskmasters of the people went out and their officers and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I will not give you* straw. ¹¹ Go yourselves, you* get straw where you* can find it, because none of your* work will be diminished. ¹² So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
¹³ And the taskmasters were urgent saying, Fulfill your* works, your* daily deeds, as when there was straw. ¹⁴ And the officers of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and demanded, Why have you* not fulfilled your* task both yesterday and today, in making brick as formerly?

²² And Pharaoh ordered all his people, saying, Every son that is born you* will cast into the river and every daughter you* will save alive.

¹⁵ But the former governors who were before me charged the people and took bread and wine from them, besides forty shekels of silver. Yes, even their servants bore rule over the people. But I did not so, because of the fear of God.

¹⁹ O how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you before the sons of men!

¹³ The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil. I hate: pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth.

⁶ Iniquity is atoned for by mercy and truth and men depart from evil by the fear of Jehovah.

¹¹ Deliver those who are carried away to death and hold back those who are slipping away to be slain. ¹² If you say, Behold, we did not know this, Does not he who weighs the hearts consider it? And he who keeps your soul, does he not know it? And will not he render to every man according to his work?

¹² Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his days, yet surely I know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before him.

¹³ This is the end of the matter, all has been heard: Fear God and keep his commandments, because this is the whole of man.

¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. ¹⁷ If it is so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
¹⁸ But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.

¹³ Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the sons of the captivity of Judah, does not regard you, O king, nor the interdict that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.

¹¹ Ephraim is oppressed. He is crushed in judgment, because he was content to walk after man's command.

¹⁶ For the statutes of Omri are kept and all the works of the house of Ahab and you* walk in their counsels, that I may make you a desolation and the inhabitants of it a hissing. And you* will bear the reproach of my people.

²⁸ And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

⁵ But I will be showing you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed you, has authority to cast you into hell. Yes, I say to you, Fear him.

¹⁸ And they called them back and commanded them not to speak nor teach to any in the name of Jesus.
¹⁹ But Peter and John answered and said to them, Judge for yourselves if it is righteous in God’s sight to listen to you rather than to God. ²⁰ For we are not able to speak, but the things which we saw and heard.

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered and said, It is essential for us to obey God rather than men.

²⁸ And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Notice you* now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine and when I say to you*, Strike Amnon, then kill him. Do not fear; have I not commanded you*? Be courageous and be valiant.

⁴ For the king's word has power and who may say to him, What are you doing?

⁴ And the woman took the two men and hid them. And she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know from where they were. ⁵ And it happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went I do not know. Pursue after them quickly, for you* will overtake them. ⁶ But she had brought them up to the roof and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof. ⁷ And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan to the fords and as soon as those who pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
⁸ And before they were laid down, she came up to them upon the roof. ⁹ And she said to the men, I know that Jehovah has given you* the land and that the fear of you* has fallen upon us. And that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you*.
¹⁰ For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the water of the Red Sea before you* when you* came out of Egypt and what you* did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you* utterly destroyed. ¹¹ And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man because of you*, for Jehovah your* God, he is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.
¹² Now therefore, I beseech you*, swear to me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you*, that you* also will deal kindly with my father's house and give me a true token, ¹³ and that you* will save alive my father and my mother and my brothers and my sisters and all that they have and will deliver our lives from death. ¹⁴ And the men said to her, Our life for yours* if you* do not utter this our business. And it will be, when Jehovah gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.
¹⁵ Then she let them down by a cord through the window, for her house was upon the side of the wall and she dwelt upon the wall. ¹⁶ And she said to them, You* get to the mountain lest the pursuers come upon you*. And hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned and afterward you* may go your* way.
¹⁷ And the men said to her, We will be guiltless of this your oath which you have made us to swear. ¹⁸ Behold, when we come into the land, you will bind this line of scarlet cord in the window which you let us down by. And you will gather to you into the house your father and your mother and your brothers and all your father's household.
¹⁹ And it will be, that whoever will go out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood will be upon his head and we will be guiltless. And whoever will be with you in the house, his blood will be on our head if any hand be upon him. ²⁰ But if you utter this our business, then we will be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear. ²¹ And she said, According to your* words, so be it. And she sent them away and they departed. And she bound the scarlet line in the window.
²² And they went and came to the mountain and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned. And the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but did not find them. ²³ Then the two men returned and descended from the mountain and passed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun. And they told him all that had befallen them. ²⁴ And they said to Joshua, Truly Jehovah has delivered into our hands all the land and moreover all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us.

² And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me a business and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the business about which I send you and what I have commanded you and I have assigned the young men to such and such a place.

¹⁹ And the woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth and spread ground grain on it. And nothing was known.
²⁰ And Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house and they said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

⁷ And the sons of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly and multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty and the land was filled with them.

¹² But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. And they were grieved because of the sons of Israel.

¹ He who considers a poor man is fortunate. Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil. ² Jehovah will preserve him and keep him alive and he will be fortunate upon the earth. And you do not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

⁵ Because you, O God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

⁹ Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

¹¹ Because as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

⁵ He has given food to those who fear him. He will ever be mindful of his everlasting covenant.

¹⁹ He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry and will save them.

¹⁸ A wicked man earns deceitful wages, but he who sows righteousness has a sure reward.

¹⁷ He who has pity upon a poor man lends to Jehovah and he will repay him his good deed.

¹⁰ Say you* of the righteous, that it is well, for they will eat the fruit of their practices.

⁴² And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to drink to one of these little ones, in the name of a disciple, assuredly I am saying to you, He may never lose his reward.

⁴⁰ And when the King answers, he will say to them, Assuredly I am saying to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of these, my brethren, even the least, you did it to me.

⁵⁰ and his mercy is toward generations of generations to those who fear him.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the labor of the love which you showed toward his name, having served the holy-ones and still serving them.

³⁵ And I will raise up for me a faithful priest who will do according to what is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build for him a sure house and he will walk before my anointed forever.

²⁸ I beseech you, forgive the trespass of your handmaid. For Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah and evil will not be found in you all your days.

¹¹ and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel and I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Jehovah tells you that Jehovah will make you a house. ¹² When your days are fulfilled and you will sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who will proceed out of your guts and I will establish his kingdom. ¹³ He will build a house for my name and I will establish the throne of his kingdom until everlasting.

²⁷ For you, O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, I will build you a house. Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
²⁸ And now, O lord Jehovah, you are God and your words are truth and you have promised this good thing to your servant. ²⁹ Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue everlasting before you, for you, O lord Jehovah, have spoken it. And with your blessing let the house of your servant be blessed forever.

²⁴ Now therefore as Jehovah lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah will be put to death this day.

³⁸ And it will be, if you will listen to all that I command you and will walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did. That I will be with you and will build you a sure house as I built for David and will give Israel to you.

³ Trust in Jehovah and do good. Dwell in the land and feed on his faithfulness.

¹ Unless Jehovah builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless Jehovah guards the city, the watchman wake but in vain.

³ Behold, sons are a heritage of Jehovah and the fruit of the womb is a reward.

³ Through wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established,

² Go to the house of the Rechabites and speak to them and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers and give them wine to drink.

¹ And it happened at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed. And behold, he stood by the river.

¹⁶ And he said, When you* do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women and see them upon the stool, if it is a son, then you* will kill him, but if it is a daughter, then she will live.

¹⁹ And Jehovah said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take your rod and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams and over their pools and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood and there will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.
²⁰ And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah commanded. And he lifted up the rod and killed* the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. ²¹ And the fish that were in the river died and the river became foul and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. And the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.

¹⁶ Because their feet run to evil and they make haste to shed blood.

¹⁶ Because they do not sleep unless they do evil. And their sleep is taken away unless they cause you to fall.

⁴ And the third messenger poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of the waters, and it became blood. ⁵ And I heard the messenger of the waters saying, You are righteous, who is and who was, the Holy One, because you judged these things; ⁶ because they poured out the blood of holy-ones and prophets and you gave blood to them to drink because they are worthy.
