I would that I had a sword in mine hand, that I might now kill thee." ³⁰ And the ass said unto Balaam, "Am not I thine ass which thou hast ridden upon since thou wast born unto this day?

²⁴ And as he journeyed, a lion met him by the way and slew him, and his carcass lay along in the way and the ass stood thereby, and the lion stood by the corpse also. ²⁵ And men that passed by, saw the carcass cast along in the way and the lion standing thereby, and went and told it in the town where the old prophet dwelt. ²⁶ And when the prophet that brought him back again from the way, heard thereof, he said, "It is the man of God which disobeyed the mouth of the LORD. And therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion which hath rent him and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he said to him." ²⁷ And he said to his sons, "Saddle me an ass." So they did. ²⁸ And he went and found the body cast along in the way, and the ass and the lion standing thereby. And the lion had not eaten the carcass nor hurt the ass.

⁶ And then the king of Israel gathered of the Prophets together, upon a four hundred men, and said unto them, "Shall I go to Ramoth in Gilead to battle, or be still?" And they said, "Go: for the Lord shall deliver it into the hands of the king."

⁸ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one, by whom we may ask counsel of the LORD: one Micaiah the son of Imlah. But I hate him: for he never prophesieth good unto me, but evil." And Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."

¹³ And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah, said unto him, "See, the words of the Prophets speak good unto the king with one voice: let thy words, I pray thee, be like the words of one of them, and speak that is good." ¹⁴ And Micaiah said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, what the LORD putteth in my mouth, that will I speak."

And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. ¹⁸ And when the soldiers came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD and said, "Smite this people with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the desire of Elisha." ¹⁹ Then Elisha said unto them, "This is not the way, nor this is not the town: But follow me and I will bring you to the man ye seek." And he led them to Samaria. ²⁰ When they were come to Samaria, Elisha said, "LORD, open their eyes and let them see." And the LORD opened their eyes that they saw. And behold they were in the midst of Samaria.

²⁰ Wherefore Jehu said, "Appoint a solemn feast for Baal." And they proclaimed it.

¹⁴ Then came Isaiah the Prophet unto king Hezekiah and said to him, "What say these men and from whence come they to thee?" And Hezekiah said, "They be come from a far country, even from Babylon." ¹⁵ And he said, "What have they seen in thy house?" And Hezekiah said, "All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasure that I have not showed them."

⁷ And God was displeased with this thing, and smote Israel.

¹⁶ And David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and heaven with a drawn sword in his hand stretched out toward Jerusalem. Then fell David and the elders of Israel, clothed in sack, upon their faces.

¹⁵ And he ordained him priests of hill altars - both to field devils and also to the calves which he had made.

¹³ And Micaiah said, "As truly as the LORD liveth, even what my God sayeth, that will I speak."

¹ And what time as the book of Moses was read in the ears of the people there was found written therein, that the Ammonites and Moabites should never come into the congregation of God, ² because they met not the children of Israel with bread and water, and hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: nevertheless our God turned the curse into a blessing.

² because they met not the children of Israel with bread and water, and hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: nevertheless our God turned the curse into a blessing.

¹¹ and told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children all together how the king had promoted him so greatly, and how that he was taken above the princes and servants of the king.

⁹ And Harbona, one of the chamberlains that stood before the king, said, "Behold, there standeth a gallows in Haman's house fifty cubits high, which he had made for Mordecai, that spake good for the king." The king said, "Hang him thereon."

¹³ which compasseth the wise in their own craftiness, and overthroweth the counsel of the wicked. ¹⁴ Insomuch that they run into darkness by fair day, and grope about them at the noonday, like as in the night. ¹⁵ And so he delivereth the poor from the sword, from the threatenings of the ungodly, and from the hand of the cruel;

¹⁵ In dreams and visions of the night season - When slumbering cometh upon men, that they fall a sleep in their beds - ¹⁶ he roundeth them in the ears, he informeth them, and showeth them plainly, ¹⁷ that it is he, which withdraweth man from evil, delivereth him from pride,

³¹ "For so much as I have begun to talk of God, I will not hinder thee; ³² If I have gone amiss, inform me: if I have done wrong, I will leave off.

²⁰ O LORD, put a schoolmaster over them, that the Heathen may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

¹⁰ The LORD bringeth the counsel of the Heathen to naught, and maketh the devices of the people to be of none effect, and casteth out the counsels of princes.

¹⁰ The LORD bringeth the counsel of the Heathen to naught, and maketh the devices of the people to be of none effect, and casteth out the counsels of princes. ¹¹ But the counsel of the LORD endureth, and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

⁶ Thy righteousness standeth like the strong mountains; thy judgments are like the great deep. Thou, LORD, shalt save both man and beast.

⁵ They are afraid where no fear is; for God breaketh the bones of them that besiege thee. Thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath despised them.

⁶ For promotion cometh neither from the East, nor from the West, nor yet from the wilderness.

¹⁰ The fierceness of man shall turn to thy praise; and the fierceness of them shalt thou refrain.

³⁰ And they were not disappointed of their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, ³¹ the heavy wrath of God came upon them, and slew the wealthiest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³⁴ When he slew them, they sought him, and turned them early, and inquired after God.

¹² So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust, and let them follow their own imaginations.

²⁴ But he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger than their enemies,

¹⁷ His delight was in cursing, and therefore shall it happen unto him; he loved not blessing, therefore shall it be far from him. ¹⁸ He clothed himself with cursing like as with a raiment: yea it went into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

²⁸ Though they curse, yet bless thou; and let them be confounded, that rise up against me. But let thy servant rejoice.

¹⁵ Happy are the people that be in such a case; yea, blessed are the people, which have the LORD for their God.

⁹ The LORD is loving unto every man; and his mercy is over all his works.

⁵ Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, and whose hope is in the LORD his God,

⁹ which giveth fodder unto the cattle, and feedeth the young ravens that call upon him.

¹⁵ My son, walk not thou with them, refrain thy foot from their ways. ¹⁶ For their feet run to evil, and are hasty to shed blood.

¹⁶ For their feet run to evil, and are hasty to shed blood.

¹⁰ A righteous man regardeth the life of his cattle; but the ungodly have cruel hearts.

¹⁶ A fool uttereth his wrath in all the haste, but a discreet man forgiveth wrong.

² Whoso feareth the LORD, walketh in the right path: and regardeth not him that abhorreth the ways of the LORD.

¹⁶ A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; but a fool goeth on presumptuously.

²¹ There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD shall stand.

¹⁸ Lest the LORD, when he seeth it, be angry and turn his wrath from him unto thee.

² Like as the bird, and the swallow take their flight and flee here and there; so the curse that is given in vain, shall not light upon a man.

³ The stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both. ⁴ Wrath is a cruel thing, and furiousness is a very tempest; yea, who is able to abide envy?

⁶ A poor man leading a godly life, is better than the rich that goeth in froward ways.

¹⁸ Whoso leadeth a godly and an innocent life, shall be safe; but he that goeth froward ways, shall once have a fall.

³ Among all things that come to pass under the Sun, this is a mystery, that it happeneth unto all alike. This is the cause also that the hearts of men are full of wickedness, and mad foolishness is in their hearts, as long as they live, until they die.

² For as for the daughters of Moab, they shall be as a trembling bird, that is put out of her nest: for they shall carry them unto Arnon.

⁵ As soon as Egypt perceiveth it, she will be as sorry as Tyre itself.

¹¹ LORD, when thine hand is lift up to strike, they see it not: but they shall see it, and be confounded, when thou shalt devour them with the wrath of the people, and with the fire of thine enemies.

²⁶ Yea, sayest thou, hast thou not heard what I have taken in hand, and brought to pass of old time? That same will I do now also: waste, destroy, and bring the strong cities into heaps of stones. ²⁷ For their inhabiters shall be like lame men, brought in fear and confounded. They shall be like the grass and green herbs in the field, like the hay upon housetops, that withereth afore it be grown up. ²⁸ I know thy ways, thy going forth and thy coming home, yea and thy madness against me. ²⁹ Therefore thy furiousness against me, and thy pride is come before me. I will put a ring in thy nose, and a bridle bit in the jaws of thee, and turn thee about, even the same way thou camest.

²⁹ Therefore thy furiousness against me, and thy pride is come before me. I will put a ring in thy nose, and a bridle bit in the jaws of thee, and turn thee about, even the same way thou camest.

²⁵ I destroy the tokens of witches, and make the Soothsayers go wrong. As for the wise, I turn them backward, and make their cunning foolishness.

¹⁰ In the beginning of a thing, I show the end thereof: and I tell before, things that are not yet come to pass. With one word is my device accomplished, and fulfilleth all my pleasure.

¹² Now go to thy conjurers, and to the multitude of thy witches, whom thou hast been acquainted with from thy youth, if they may help thee, or strengthen thee.

¹² Now go to thy conjurers, and to the multitude of thy witches, whom thou hast been acquainted with from thy youth, if they may help thee, or strengthen thee. ¹³ Thou hast hitherto had many counsels of them; so let the heaven gazers and the beholders of stars come on now and deliver thee: yea, and let them show when these new things shall come upon thee.

¹¹ They are shameless dogs, that be never satisfied. The shepherds also in like manner have no understanding, but every man turneth his own way, everyone after his own covetousness, with all his power.

⁷ The Stork knoweth her appointed time; the Turtledove, the Swallow and the Crane consider the time of their travail: but my people will not know the time of the punishment of the LORD.

² Thou plantest them, they take root, they grow, and bring forth fruit. They boast much of thee, yet doest thou not punish them.

²⁰ O Moab is confounded and overcome. Mourn and cry, tell it out at Arnon, that Moab is destroyed.

³⁵ Moreover, I will make Moab cease, sayeth the LORD, from the offerings and censing that she hath made unto her gods in high places.

³⁸ Upon all the housetops and streets of Moab, there shall be mourning: For I will break Moab like an unprofitable vessel sayeth the LORD.

⁴ {Daleth} He hath bent his bow like an enemy, he hath fastened his righthand as an adversary: and everything that was pleasant to see, he hath smitten it down. He hath poured out his wrath like a fire, into the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion.

⁶ Vain things they see, and tell lies to maintain their preachings withal. 'The LORD,' say they, 'hath spoken it' - when in very deed the LORD hath not sent them.

¹⁹ and dishonour me to my people for a handful of barley, and for a piece of bread. When ye kill the souls of them that die not, and promise life to them that live not: Thus ye dissemble with my people, that believeth your lies.

² Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying, ³ "Thou son of man, these men bear their idols in their hearts, and go purposely upon the stumbling block of their own wickedness: how dare they then ask counsel at me? ⁴ Therefore speak unto them, and say, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Every man of the house of Israel that beareth his Idols in his heart, purposing to stumble in his own wickedness, and cometh to a prophet, to enquire anything at me by him: unto that man will I the LORD myself give answer, according to the multitude of his idols: ⁵ that the house of Israel may be snared in their own hearts, because they be clean gone from me, for their Idols' sakes.'

³¹ These come unto thee, after the manner of a great people: yea, my people sit down before thee, and hear thy words, but they do not thereafter: for in their mouths they show themselves, as though they were fervent, but their heart goeth after their own covetous lucre.

⁴⁵ And whereas thou sawest that without any hands there was cut out of the mount a stone, which brake the iron, the copper, the earth, the silver and gold in pieces: by that hath the great God showed the king, what will come after this. This is a true dream, and the interpretation of it is sure."

³¹ While these words were yet in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, "O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee be it spoken, 'Thy kingdom is departed from thee. ³² Thou shalt be cast out of men's company: thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, so that thou shalt eat grass like as an ox, till seven years be come and gone over thee: even until thou knowest, that the highest hath power upon the kingdoms of men, and that he may give them, unto whom it pleaseth him.'"

¹⁷ Daniel answered, and said before the king, "As for thy rewards, keep them to thyself, or give thy rich gifts to another: yet not the less, I will read the writing unto the king, and show him the interpretation thereof.

⁷ I, Daniel, alone saw this vision. The men that were with me, saw it not: but a great fearfulness fell upon them, so that they fled away, and hid themselves.

⁴ And the LORD said unto him, "Call his name Jezreel, for I will shortly avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will bring the kingdom of the house of Israel to an end.

⁶ "But I will hedge her way with thorns, and stop it, that she shall not find her footsteps:

⁴ He strove with the angel, and gat the victory: so that he prayed and desired him. He found him at Bethel, and there he talked with us. ⁵ Yea, the LORD God of hosts, even the LORD himself remembered him:

¹¹ Well, I gave thee a king in my wrath, and in my displeasure will I take him from thee again.

¹¹ And should not I have compassion on Nineveh that great city, wherein there is a multitude of people, even above a hundred thousand that know not their righthand from the left, besides much cattle?"

¹¹ O ye judges, ye give sentence for gifts; O ye priests, ye teach for lucre; O ye prophets, ye prophesy for money. Yet will they be taken as those that hold upon God, and say, "Is not the LORD among us? Tush, there can no misfortune happen us."

⁵ Remember, O my people, what Balak the king of Moab had imagined against thee, and what answer that Balaam the son of Beor gave him, from Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the loving-kindness of the LORD.

⁸ The devil took him up again and led him into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and all the glory of them; ⁹ and said to him, "All these will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me."

²² Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name have done many miracles?'

⁷ Wherefore he promised with an oath, that he would give her whatsoever she would ask.

¹⁹ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, breaking of wedlock, whoredom, theft, false witness-bearing, blasphemy.

²⁶ What shall it profit a man, though he should win all the whole world, if he lose his own soul? Or else, what shall a man give to redeem his soul again withal?

²⁴ for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets and shall do great miracles and wonders. Insomuch that if it were possible, even the very elect should be deceived.

⁴ saying, "I have sinned, betraying the innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? see thou to that." ⁵ And he cast down the silver plates in the temple, and departed, and went and hung himself.

¹⁹ When he was set down to give judgment, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have thou nothing to do with that just man, I have suffered many things this day in a dream about him."

³⁷ for with God can nothing be impossible."

⁶ And the devil said unto him, "All this power will I give thee every whit, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me, and to whosoever I will I give it:

¹⁶ But their eyes were holden, that they could not know him.

³¹ And their eyes were opened. And they knew him. And he vanished out of their sight,

⁴⁴ How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh of God only?

⁵¹ This spake he not of himself: but being high priest that same year, prophesied he that Jesus should die for the people,

⁶ But as soon as he had said unto them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground.

⁹ And there was a certain man called Simon, which beforetime in the same city, used witchcraft and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he was a man that could do great things. ¹⁰ Whom they regarded, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This fellow is the great power of God."

²⁰ Then said Peter unto him, "Thy money perish with thee, because thou wenest that the gift of God may be obtained with money.

⁷ When the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him, ⁸ and told them all the matter, and sent them to Joppa.

¹⁰ "O full of all subtlety and deceitfulness, and child of the devil, and the enemy of all righteousness: thou ceasest not to pervert the straight ways of the Lord.

¹⁶ And it fortuned as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit that prophesied met us, which brought her master and masters much vantage with prophesying.

⁹ And they that were with me saw verily a light and were afraid: but they heard not the voice of him that spake with me.

¹⁸ to open their eyes that they might turn from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith in me.'

¹⁵ And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came against us to Appius, and to the three taverns, and met us. When Paul saw them he thanked God, and waxed bold.

⁶ Even as David describeth the blessedfulness of the man, unto whom God ascribeth righteousness without deeds, ⁷ "Blessed are they, whose unrighteousnesses are forgiven and whose sins are covered.

²² For we know that every creature groaneth with us also, and travaileth in pain even unto this time.

²⁹ For verily the gifts and calling of God are such, that it cannot repent him of them.

¹⁸ For they that are such serve not the Lord Jesus Christ: but their own bellies. And with sweet preachings and flattering words deceive the hearts of the innocents:

¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent."

²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise. And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound things which are mighty.

²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise. And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound things which are mighty. ²⁸ And vile things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things of no reputation, for to bring to nought things of reputation,

²⁸ And vile things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things of no reputation, for to bring to nought things of reputation, ²⁹ that no flesh should rejoice in his presence.

³ Blessed be God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which hath blessed us with all manner of spiritual blessings in heavenly things by Christ,

⁹ even him whose coming is by the working of Satan, with all lying power, signs, and wonders: ¹⁰ and in all deceivableness of unrighteousness, among them that perish: because they received not the love of the truth, that they might have been saved. ¹¹ And therefore God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe lies: ¹² that all they might be damned which believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

⁹ They that will be rich, fall into temptation and snares, and into many foolish and noisome lusts, which drown men in perdition and destruction. ¹⁰ For covetousness is the root of all evil, which while some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and tangled themselves with many sorrows.

¹¹ whose mouths must be stopped, which pervert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, because of filthy lucre.

¹⁶ They confess that they know God: but with the deeds they deny him and are abominable, and disobedient, and unto all good works discommendable.

¹⁹ Wherefore, dear brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath.

³ and through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you, whose judgment is not far off, and their damnation sleepeth not.

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease to sin, beguiling unstable souls. Hearts they have exercised with covetousness. They are cursed children, ¹⁵ and have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, which loved the reward of unrighteousness:

¹⁵ and have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, which loved the reward of unrighteousness: ¹⁶ but was rebuked of his iniquity. The tame and dumb beast, speaking with man's voice forbade the foolishness of the prophet.

¹⁶ but was rebuked of his iniquity. The tame and dumb beast, speaking with man's voice forbade the foolishness of the prophet.

¹¹ Woe be unto them, for they have followed the way of Cain, and are utterly given to the error of Balaam for lucre's sake, and are cast away in the treason of Korah.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast, there, they that maintain the doctrine of Balaam, which taught in Balak to put occasion of sin before the children of Israel, that they should eat of meat dedicated unto idols, and to commit fornication.
