To have experience of labour and sorrow? And to lead my life with shame?

²² {Khet} Namely, that the mercies of the LORD are not clean gone, and that his loving-kindness ceaseth not. ²³ His faithfulness is great and reneweth itself as the morning.

³ Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for unto thee and unto thy seed I will give all these countries. And I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father,

²⁴ And Joseph said unto his brethren, "I die; And God will surely visit you and bring you out of this land, unto the land which he sware unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."

⁵ When the LORD hath brought thee in to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers that he would give thee: a land wherein milk and honey floweth, then see that thou keep this service in this same month.

¹¹ He shall feed his flock like a herdsman. He shall gather the lambs together with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall kindly entreat those that bear young.

¹⁵ Doth a wife forget the child of her womb, and the son who she hath born? And though she do forget, yet will not I forget thee.

²³ For kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and Queens shall be thy nursing mothers. They shall fall before thee with their faces flat upon the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet: that thou mayest know, how that I am the LORD. And who so putteth his trust in me, shall not be confounded.

²³ I will raise up to them one only shepherd: even my servant David. He shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

¹¹ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

¹⁹ My little children — of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be fashioned in you -

⁷ But were tender among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children,

³³ And his disciples said unto him, "Whence should we get so much bread in the wilderness as should suffice so great a multitude?"

⁴ And his disciples answered him, "Where should a man have bread here in the wilderness to satisfy these?"

²³ And Jesus said unto him, "Yea if thou couldest believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."

⁵ Then Jesus lift up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, and said unto Philip, "Whence shall we buy bread that these might eat?" ⁶ This he said to prove him. For he himself knew what he would do. ⁷ Philip answered him, "Two hundred pennyworth of bread are not sufficient for them, that every man have a little." ⁸ Then said unto him, one of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, ⁹ "There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what is that among so many?"

¹⁸ Thou doest unwisely and also this people that is with thee: because the thing is too grievous for thee, and thou art not able to do it thyself alone.

⁹ And I said unto you the same season, 'I am not able to bear you myself alone. ¹⁰ For the LORD your God hath multiplied you: so that ye are this day as the stars of heaven in number.' ¹¹ — The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you as he hath promised you - ¹² 'How,' said I, 'can I myself alone bear the cumbrance, charge, and strife that is among you?

¹⁹ Thou spakest sometime in visions unto thy saints, and saidst, "I have laid help upon one that is mighty, I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

⁶ For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. Upon his shoulders shall the kingdom lie, and he shall be called with his own name, "Wonderful, the giver of counsel, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace."

¹³ Yea, even he shall build up the temple of the LORD. He shall bear the praise, he shall sit upon the LORD's throne, and have the domination. A priest shall he be also upon his throne, and a peaceable counsel shall be betwixt them both.

¹⁶ to the one part are we the savor of death unto death; and unto the other part are we the savor of life unto life. And who is mete unto these things?

³² Yet forgive them their sin, I pray thee: If not, wipe me out of thy book which thou hast written."

⁴ And he went a day's journey into the wilderness, and when he was come sat down under a Juniper tree, and desired for his soul, that he might die, and said, "It is now enough, O LORD, take my soul; for I am not better than my fathers."

²⁰ "Wherefore is the light given to him that is in misery? And life unto them that have heavy hearts? ²¹ Which long for death, if it come not; ²² and search for it more than for treasure. Which also would be exceedingly glad, and rejoice if they found their grave.

⁸ "O that I might have my desire! O that God would grant me the thing, that I long for! ⁹ That he would begin and smite me: that he would let his hand go, and hew me down. ¹⁰ Then should I have some comfort: yea, I would desire him in my pain, that he should not spare, for I will not be against the words of the holy one.

¹⁵ that my soul wisheth rather to be strangled, and my bones to be dead.

¹⁸ Wherefore came I forth of my mother's womb? To have experience of labour and sorrow? And to lead my life with shame?

³ Now therefore take my life from me, for I had better die than live."

⁸ And as soon as the sun was up, God prepared a fervent east wind: so that the sun beat over the head of Jonah, that he fainted again and wished unto his soul that he might die, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live." ⁹ And God said unto Jonah, "Art thou so angry for thy wild vine?" And he said, "I am angry a good, even unto the death."

¹⁵ For the LORD hath taken away thy punishment, and turned back thine enemies. The king of Israel, even the LORD himself is with thee: so that thou needest no more to fear any misfortune.

²⁰ as I heartily look for and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed: but that with all confidence, as always in times past, even so now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be through life, or else death. ²¹ For Christ is to me life, and death is to me advantage. ²² If it chance me to live in the flesh, that is to me fruitful for to work, and what to choose I know not. ²³ I am constrained of two things. I desire to be loosed, and to be with Christ, which thing is best of all: ²⁴ Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

⁴ and let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and sound, lacking nothing.

²⁷ And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt were: two souls. So that all the souls of the house of Jacob which came into Egypt are seventy.

²⁹ So went Moses and Aaron and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel.

¹ And he said unto Moses, "Come unto the LORD: both thou and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel, and worship afar off."

⁹ Then went Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu and the seventy elders of Israel up,

¹⁵ And then I took the heads of your tribes, men of wisdom and that were expert, and made them rulers over you: captains over thousands and over hundreds, over fifty and over ten, and officers among your tribes.

¹⁸ Judges and officers thou shalt make thee in all thy cities, which the LORD thy God giveth thee throughout thy tribes: And let them judge the people righteously.

²⁸ Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears and call heaven and earth to record against them.

¹¹ There stood also before the images: Seventy lords of the counsel of the house of Israel; and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan. And every one of them had a censor in his hand, and out of the incense there went a smoke, as it had been a cloud.

¹ After these things, the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them, two and two, before him into every city, and place, whither he himself would come.

¹⁷ And the seventy returned again with joy saying, Lord, even the very devils are subdued to us through thy name.

⁵ And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the children of Adam had built.

³ And Abram fell on his face. And God talked moreover with him, saying,

²² And God left off talking with him, and departed up from Abraham.

²⁰ And the LORD said, "The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and their sin is exceeding grievous. ²¹ I will go down and see whether they have done altogether according to that cry which is come unto me or not, that I may know." ²² And the men departed thence and went to Sodomward. But Abraham stood yet before the LORD,

³³ And the LORD went his way as soon as he had left communing with Abraham. And Abraham returned unto his place.

²² And let them judge the people at all seasons: If there be any great matter, let them bring that unto thee, and let them judge all small causes them selves, and ease thyself, and let them bear with thee.

¹¹ that they may be ready against the third day. For the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

²⁰ And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, even in the top of the hill, and called Moses up into the top of the hill. And Moses went up.

⁵ And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there: and he called upon the name of the LORD.

²⁵ And the LORD came down in a cloud and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders. And as the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and did nought else.

⁵ And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle and called Aaron and Miriam. And they went out both of them.

⁸ Unto him I speak mouth to mouth and he seeth the sight and the fashion of the LORD, and not through riddles. Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

¹⁸ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun in whom there is spirit, and put thine hands upon him,

⁶ And the spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

⁹ And as soon as they were over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for thee before I be taken away from thee." And Elisha said, "Let me, I pray thee, have thy spirit double in me."

¹⁵ And the children of the Prophets of Jericho which saw from afar, said, "The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha," and went against him and bowed to the earth unto him.

²⁰ And thou gavest them thy good spirit to inform them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water when they were thirsty.

³ For I shall pour water upon the dry ground, and rivers upon the thirsty. I shall pour my spirit upon thy seed, and mine increase upon thy stock.

²⁰ But unto Zion there shall come a redeemer, and unto them in Jacob that turn from wickedness, sayeth the LORD. ²¹ I will make this covenant with them, sayeth the LORD: My spirit that is come upon thee, and the words which I have put in thy mouth, shall never go out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy children, nor out of the mouth of thy children's children, from this time forth for evermore.

²⁸ After this, will I pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.

¹³ And no man ascendeth up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, that is to say, the son of man which is in heaven.

³⁹ This spake he of the spirit, which they that believed on him should receive. For the holy ghost was not yet there, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.

³ Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, and full of the holy ghost and wisdom, which we may appoint to this needful business: ⁴ but we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministration of the word."

⁹ But ye are not given to the flesh; But to the spirit: If so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. If there be any man that hath not the spirit of Christ, the same is none of his.

¹² And we have not received the spirit of the world: but the spirit which cometh of God, for to know the things that are given to us of God,

⁴ There are diversities of gifts verily, yet but one spirit. ⁵ And there are differences of administrations, and yet but one Lord. ⁶ And there are divers manners of operations, and yet but one God, which worketh all things that are wrought in all creatures. ⁷ The gifts of the spirit are given to every man to profit the congregation. ⁸ To one is given, through the spirit, the utterance of wisdom; to another is given the utterance of knowledge by the same spirit; ⁹ to another is given faith, by the same spirit; to another the gifts of healing, by the same spirit; ¹⁰ to another, power to do miracles; to another prophecy; to another, judgment of spirits; to another divers tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ and these all worketh even the self same spirit, dividing to every man several gifts even as he will.

⁸ He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, which hath sent his holy spirit among you.

²² And forasmuch as ye have purified your souls through the spirit, in obeying the truth for to love brotherly without feigning, see that ye love one another with a pure heart, fervently:

¹⁹ These are makers of sects, fleshly, having no spirit.

² Then said Jacob unto his household, and to all that were with him, "Put away the strange gods that are among you and make yourselves clean, and change your garments,

³ and said unto them, "Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and ate bread our bellies' full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole multitude for hunger." ⁴ Then said the LORD unto Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven down to you, and let the people go out, and gather day by day, that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law or no. ⁵ The sixth day let them prepare that which they will bring in, and let it be twice as much as they gather in daily." ⁶ And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, "At even ye shall know that it is the LORD which brought you out of the land of Egypt; ⁷ and in the morning ye shall see the glory of the LORD: because he hath heard your grudgings against the LORD — for what are we that ye should murmur against us?"

¹⁰ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go unto the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes:

¹⁵ And he said unto the people, "Be ready against the third day, and see that ye come not at your wives."

⁴ And the rascal people that was among them fell a lusting. And the children of Israel also went to, and wept, and said, "Who shall give us flesh to eat? ⁵ We remember the fish which we should eat in Egypt for nought, and of the cucumbers and melons, leeks, onions and garlic. ⁶ But now our souls are dried away, for our eyes look on nothing else, save upon Manna."

² and all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. And the whole congregation said unto them, "Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt, either we would that we had died in this wilderness. ³ Wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land to fall upon the sword, that both our wives, and also our children should be a prey? Is it not better that we return unto Egypt again?"

¹³ Up, and sanctify the people and bid them to sanctify themselves against the morrow: for so sayeth the LORD God of Israel, 'The excommunication is among you Israel, and therefore ye cannot stand before your enemies, until ye have put the excommunication from among you.

² And the people came to Bethel and abode there till evening, before God, and lifted up their voices and wept sore,

³⁹ to whom our fathers would not obey: But cast it from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

⁸ And moreover spake Moses, "At evening the LORD will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread enough, because the LORD hath heard your murmur which ye murmur against him: for what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the LORD."

¹³ And at evening the quails came and covered the ground where they lay. And in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

²⁷ And Joshua said unto all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake with us. It shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye lie unto your God."

³⁰ Wherefore the LORD God of Israel sayeth, 'I said that thine house and the house of thy father should have walked before me forever. But now the LORD sayeth that be far from me: for them that honoureth me I will honour, and they that despise me, shall not be regarded.

¹⁹ And ye have this day cast away your God that helped you out of all your adversities and tribulations. And ye have said unto him: make a king over us. Now therefore stand before the LORD by your tribes and your thousands.'"

¹⁰ Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house, because thou hast despised me and taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite, to be thy wife.'

²⁷ He rained down manna upon them as thick as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea. ²⁸ He let it fall among their tents, even round about their habitations. ²⁹ So they ate, and were filled, for he gave them their own desire. ³⁰ And they were not disappointed of their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

¹⁵ And he gave them their desire, but sent leanness withal into their soul.

⁷ He that is full, abhorreth a honeycomb; but unto him that is hungry, every sour thing is sweet.

⁶ "Should not a son honour his father, and a servant his master? If I be now a father, where is mine honour? If I be the LORD, where am I feared? sayeth the LORD of Hosts, now, to you priests that despise my name. And if ye say, 'Wherein have we despised thy name?'

⁴¹ 'Behold ye despisers, and wonder, and perish ye: for I do a work in your days, which ye shall not believe, if a man would declare it you.'"

² And I will make of thee a mighty people, and will bless thee, and make thy name great, that thou mayst be a blessing.

³⁷ Thus took the children of Israel their journey from Rameses to Succoth; six hundred thousand men of foot, beside children.

²⁶ Every man offering half a sicle after the weight of the holy sicle among them that went to be numbered from twenty years old and above, among six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

⁴⁶ drew unto the sum of six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty.

³² These are the sums of the children of Israel in the houses of their fathers, even all the numbers of the hosts with their companies: six hundred thousand three thousand five hundred and fifty.

² Then a great lord on whose hand the king leaned, answered the man of God and said, "Though the LORD would make windows in heaven, yet would not this be." And he said again, "Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes and shalt not eat thereof."

³⁷ He answered and said unto them, "Give ye them to eat." And they said unto him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?"

¹⁸ And Zacharias said unto the angel, "Whereby shall I know this? Seeing that I am old, and my wife well stricken in years."

³⁴ Then said Mary unto the angel, "How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"

⁶ This he said to prove him. For he himself knew what he would do. ⁷ Philip answered him, "Two hundred pennyworth of bread are not sufficient for them, that every man have a little."

⁹ "There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what is that among so many?"

¹⁴ Is the thing too hard for the LORD to do? In the time appointed will I return unto thee, as soon as the fruit can have life. And Sara shall have a son."

¹⁹ The Lord God is not a man, that he can lie; neither the son of a man, that he can repent! Should he say, and not do? Or should he speak, and not make it good?

¹⁷ And the king set the lord on whose hand he leaned, to keep the gate. And the people trod him in the gate, that he died, according to the saying of the man of God which he said, when the king came down to him. ¹⁸ And it came to pass, according to the word of the man of God to the king, saying, "Two bushels of barley for a sicle and a bushel of flour for another shall be tomorrow this time in the gates of Samaria." ¹⁹ And the lord answered the man of God and said, "Though the LORD made windows in heaven, yet would not this be." And the other said, "Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, and shalt not eat thereof."

⁴¹ They turned back, and tempted God, and moved the holy one in Israel.

² For why would no man receive me, when I came? And when I called, no man gave me answer. Was my hand clean smitten off, that it might not help? Or had I not power to deliver? Lo, at a word I drink up the sea, and of water floods I make dry land: so that for want of water, the fish corrupt and die of thirst.

¹ Behold, the LORD's hand is not so shortened that it cannot help, neither is his ear so stopped that it may not hear.

²⁸ Nevertheless, those that fled away for the sword shall come again into the land of Judah, but there shall be very few of them. And all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into Egypt, there to dwell, shall know whose words shall be found true: theirs or mine. ²⁹ Take this for a token, that I will visit you in this place, sayeth the LORD, and that ye may know, how that I, without doubt, will perform my purpose upon you to punish you.

²⁵ For it is I, the LORD, that speak it: and whatsoever I, the LORD, speak, it shall be performed, and not be slacken in coming. Yea even in your days, O ye froward household, will I devise something and bring it to pass, sayeth the LORD God.'"

¹⁴ Even I the LORD have so devised: Yea, it is come thereto already, that I will do it. I will not go back, I will not spare, I will not be intreated: but according to thy ways and imaginations, thou shalt be punished, sayeth the LORD God.'"

⁷ sayeth the house of Jacob. Is the spirit of the LORD so clean away? Or is he so minded? Truth it is, my words are friendly unto them that live right:

²⁶ Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

³⁵ Heaven and earth shall perish: but my words shall abide.

³⁷ for with God can nothing be impossible."

¹⁶ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Gather unto me seventy of the elders of Israel, which thou knowest that they are the elders of the people and officers over them, and bring them unto the tabernacle of witness, and let them stand there with thee.

²⁶ But there remained two of the men in the host: the one called Eldad, and the other Medad. And the spirit rested upon them for they were of them that were written, but they went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the host.

³⁸ for the cloud of the LORD was upon the habitation by day, and fire by night: in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.

¹⁷ And I will come down and talk with thee there, and take of the spirit which is upon thee and put upon them, and they shall bear with thee in the burden of the people, and so shalt thou not bear alone.

⁵ After that, thou shalt come to the hill of God, where the Philistines keep their watch. And when thou art come thither to the city thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the hill, with a psaltery, a timbrel, a pipe, and a harp before them; and they prophesying. ⁶ And the spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

¹⁰ When they came to the hill, behold, the company of prophets met him, and the spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

²⁰ Then Saul sent messengers to fetch David. And when they saw a company of prophets prophesying and Samuel standing fast by them, the spirit of God fell upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesied too. ²¹ And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers yet again the third time which prophesied also. ²² Then went he himself to Ramah, and when he came to a great well that is in Secu, he asked and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And they said, "See, they be at Naioth in Ramah." ²³ And as he went thither to Naioth in Ramah the spirit of God came upon him also and he went prophesying, until he came to Naioth in Ramah. ²⁴ And he stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and fell naked all that day and all that night, wherefore it is a common saying, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

⁷ He spake unto them out of the cloudy pillar; for they kept his testimonies, and the law that he gave them.

⁵ And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, "I am in prison, so that I may not come into the house of the LORD: ⁶ therefore go thou thither, and read the book, that thou hast written at my mouth: Namely, the words of the LORD, and read them in the LORD's house upon the fasting day: that the people, whole Judah, and all they that come out of the cities, may hear.

²⁸ After this, will I pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. ²⁹ Yea, in those days I will pour out my spirit upon servants and maidens.

³⁴ While he thus spake there came a cloud and shadowed them and they feared when they were come under the cloud. ³⁵ And there came a voice out of the cloud saying, "This is my dear son, hear him."

¹⁷ 'It shall be in the last days, saith God, of my spirit I will pour out upon all flesh. And your sons, and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions. And your old men shall dream dreams. ¹⁸ And on my servants, and on my handmaidens I will pour out of my spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.

²⁸ And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the spirit, that there should be great dearth throughout all the world, which came to pass in the Emperor Claudius' days.

⁹ The same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. ¹⁰ And as we tarried there a good many days, there came a certain prophet from Jewry, named Agabus. ¹¹ When he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his hands and feet and said, "Thus saith the holy ghost, 'So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.'"

⁴ Every man praying or prophesying having anything on his head, shameth his head. ⁵ Every woman that prayeth or prophesieth bare-headed, dishonesteth her head. For it is even all one and the very same thing, even as though she were shaven.

¹ Labour for love, and covet spiritual gifts: and most chiefly for to prophesy. ² For he that speaketh with tongues speaketh not unto men, but unto God. For no man heareth him: Howbeit, in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. ³ But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men, to edifying, to exhortation, and to comfort.

³² For the spirits of the prophets are in the power of the prophets.

¹⁷ Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above and cometh down from the father of light, with whom is no variableness, neither is he changed unto darkness.

²¹ For the scripture came never by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy ghost.

¹¹ And Moses said unto God, "What am I, to go to Pharaoh and to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?"

¹³ And he said, "O my Lord, send I pray thee whom thou wilt." ¹⁴ And the LORD was angry with Moses, and said, "I know Aaron thy brother, the Levite, that he can speak. And moreover behold, he cometh out to meet thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

²² Then they asked the LORD further, whither the man should come thither. And the LORD answered, "Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff."

²⁶ Nevertheless, yet Saul said nothing at all that day. For he thought, 'Something has chanced him that he is not clean.'

⁶ Then said I, "Oh LORD God, I cannot speak, for I am yet but young."

⁵ And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, "I am in prison, so that I may not come into the house of the LORD:

⁹ And Moses said unto Joshua, "Choose out men and go fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill and the rod of God in mine hand."

¹¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And when Moses turned again in to the host, the lad Joshua, his servant, the son of Nun, departed not out of the tabernacle.

¹ After the death of Moses, the servant of the LORD, the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

³⁸ And whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me." John answered him, saying, "Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, which followeth not us and we forbade him, because he followeth us not." ³⁹ But Jesus said, "Forbid him not. For there is no man that shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. ⁴⁰ Whosoever is not against you, is on your part.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, "Master we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us." ⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, "Forbid ye him not. For he that is not against us, is with us."

²⁶ And they came unto John, and said unto him, "Rabbi, behold he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold the same baptiseth, and all men come to him."

³⁷ Then said he to his disciples, "The harvest is great, but the laborers are few: ³⁸ Wherefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into his harvest."

² And he said unto them, "The harvest is great: but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, to send forth laborers into his harvest.

²⁹ And Paul said, "I would to God that not only thou: but also all that hear me today, were not somewhat only, but altogether such as I am; except these bonds. I might persuade not thee only, but all them that hear me this day, to be such as I am, these bonds except."

³ For ye are yet carnal. As long verily as there is among you envying, strife and dissension: are ye not carnal, and walk after the manner of men?

²¹ Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours,

⁴ Love suffereth long, and is courteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not forwardly, swelleth not,

⁵ I would that ye all spake with tongues: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he expound it also, that the congregation may have edifying.

¹⁵ Some there are which preach Christ of envy and strife, and some of goodwill. ¹⁶ The one part preacheth Christ of strife, and not purely, supposing to add more adversity to my bonds. ¹⁷ The other part of love, because they see that I am set to defend the gospel. ¹⁸ What then? So that Christ be preached all manner ways, whether it be by occasion, or of true meaning, I therein joy: Yea and will joy.

³ that nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but that in meekness of mind every man esteem others better than himself,

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, rejoice not: neither be liars against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom descendeth not from above: but is earthy, and natural, and devilish.

⁵ Either do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, "The spirit that dwelleth in you, lusteth even contrary to envy,"

⁹ Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be damned. Behold, the judge standeth before the door.

¹ Wherefore, lay aside all maliciousness, and all guile, and dissimulation, and envy, and all backbiting:

¹³ And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land, all that day and all night. And in the morning the east wind brought the grasshoppers,

¹⁹ and the LORD turned the wind into a mighty strong west wind, and it took away the grasshoppers and cast them into the reed sea: so that there was not one grasshopper left in all the coasts of Egypt.

¹⁰ Thou blewest with thy breath and the sea covered them, and they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
