And all the people shall say, Amen. ²² Cursed he who lieth with his sister, by the same father, or mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. ²³ Cursed he who lieth with his daughter in law. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed he who lieth with the sister of his wife. And all the people shall say, Amen.

²⁵ May the Lord deliver thee up to slaughter before thine enemies, so that thou mayst go out one way to meet them, and flee seven ways from before them; and be a dispersion among all the kingdoms of the earth; ²⁶ and your dead carcasses be food for the birds of the air, and the wild beasts of the earth, and there be none to fray them away.

¹⁹ And it shall be that whoever goeth out of the door of thy house, into the street, shall incur the guilt of his own death, and we shall be clear of blame in regard to this oath which we have sworn to thee. But for all who are with thee in the house we will be answerable.

¹² therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before the face of their enemies. They shall turn back before their enemies, because they are become devoted. I will no more be with you, unless you remove the Anathema from among you.

¹⁵ and whoever is pointed out, he shall be burned with fire and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and committed iniquity in Israel.

²⁵ Joshua said to Achar, Why hast thou destroyed us? The Lord destroy thee, as at this day! Then all Israel stoned him with stones.

²⁴ that he might bring the injustice done to the seventy sons of Jerobaal, and lay their blood, on the head of their brother Abimelech, who slew them, and on the Sychemites because they strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.

²² But while they were cheering their hearts, behold the men of the city; sons of transgressors, surrounded the house, and knocked at the door, and spake to the man, the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring out the man who came to thy house that we may know him.

¹³ I have indeed told him that I will take vengeance on his house for ever, for the iniquities of his sons. Because his sons spoke evil of God, and be did not chastise them, ¹⁴ therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with incense or sacrifices for ever.

⁷ Then Saul said to his servants, Seek out for me a woman who is a belly speaker, and I will go to her and consult her. And his servants said to him, Behold there is a woman, a belly speaker, at Endor. ⁸ Thereupon Saul disguised himself, and put on other clothes, and went, he and two men with him. And they came to the woman by night, and said to her, Consult for me, I pray thee, the belly speaker, and bring up for me him whom I shall mention to thee. ⁹ And the woman said to him, Behold thou knowest what Saul hath done; how he hath rooted out all the belly speakers, and the diviners, out of the land; why then dost thou lay a trap for my life, to put me to death?

¹⁶ And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thy own head, for thy own mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.

¹³ Then David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, The Lord hath put away thy sin. Thou shalt not die.

¹² And she said to him, No, my brother, thou must not dishonour me; for such a thing ought not to be done in Israel. Thou must not commit such folly.

³² The Lord indeed hath turned the blood of his iniquity on his head. Because he fell upon two men more righteous, and better than himself, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew not of their blood, namely Abenner, son of Ner, the captain general of Israel, and Amessai, son of Jether, the captain general of Juda;

⁵³ since thou hast set them apart for thyself for an heritage from among all the people of the earth, as thou spakest by the ministry of thy servant Moses, when thou, Lord, Lord, didst bring our fathers out of the land of Egypt. Then Solomon spoke of the house as if he had just finished building it, The Sun he pointed out in heaven; The Lord said, he would dwell in darkness. Build thou my house; a house becoming thyself to dwell in when new. Behold this is written in the book of the Ode.

⁴² Then he said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a destructive man, therefore thy life shall answer for his life; and thy people for his people.

¹⁷ They made their sons and their daughters to pass through fire, and used divination and practised augury. Indeed they sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to wrath.

¹⁰ He denied also Tapheth which was set apart in the valley of the son of Ennom, for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.

¹³ Thus died Saul, for his transgressions, which he had committed against God, according to the word of the Lord. Because he did not keep watch; because Saul sought to consult by a belly speaker, therefore Samuel the prophet answered him, ¹⁴ though he sought not the Lord, and the Lord slew him, and transferred the kingdom to David, son of Jessai.

³ and for their idols in the land of Benennom he actually caused his children to pass through fire, according to the abominable acts of those nations which the Lord had rooted out from before the Israelites.

⁶ And he made his children pass through fire in the land of Benennom. And he consulted omens and auguries, and used enchantments and encouraged belly speakers and sorcerers, and multiplied the ways of doing evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to wrath.

¹⁹ He will not be acknowledged among his people, nor will his household be safe under the cope of heaven. But in his possessions others shall live secure.

⁸ The statutes of the Lord are right, they rejoice the heart. The commandment of the Lord is clear, it enlighteneth the eyes. ⁹ The fear of the Lord is pure, it endureth forever. The judgments of the Lord are true, they are justified for being so. ¹⁰ They are more to be desired than gold, or many precious stones; and sweeter than honey or the honey comb. ¹¹ These indeed thy servant keepeth; for keeping them there is a great reward.

²⁷ Seeing they who withdrew themselves from thee, shall perish; thou hast cut off every one who goeth a whoring from thee:

⁵⁹ God heard and despised them and greatly contemned Israel,

⁵ Extol the Lord our God; and bow at his footstool; for he is holy.

⁹ Extol the Lord our God and worship on his holy hill: for the Lord our God is holy.

⁴⁵ that they might keep his rules of rectitude, and that they might diligently seek his law.

³⁸ and shed innocent blood; the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the graven idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood and ³⁹ defiled by their works: and they went a whoring with their devices.

¹³ Let his children be for destruction; In one generation let his name be blotted out.

²⁰ My soul is engaged in a continual longing for thy judgments.

⁸⁰ Let my heart be sound in thy statutes, that I may not be shamed.

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn and determined to keep thy righteous judgments.

¹⁴⁵ KOPH. I have cried with my whole heart, O Lord, hear me; I

¹⁶⁰ The beginning of thy words was truth, and all thy righteous judgments endure forever.

¹⁶⁴ Seven times a day have I praised thee, for thy righteous judgments.

¹⁷¹ Let my lips solemnly utter a hymn; when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

¹⁷⁵ Let my soul live and praise thee; and thy judgments be my support.

²⁰ Whosoever curseth father or mother; let his lamp be extinguished and his eye balls involved in darkness.

¹¹ A wicked progeny curse their father and bless not their mother.

¹⁷ The eye which derideth a father and despiseth the old age of a mother, may the ravens of the valley pick it out, and the young eagles devour it.

³ And they cried one to another and said, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is filled with his glory."

¹⁹ if they should say to you, "Apply to the belly speakers, and to them who cause a voice to proceed from the ground. Those vain babblers who speak from the belly: should not a nation apply to their God? Why consult they the dead concerning the living?

⁸ for the way of the Lord is justice. We have trusted in thy name and in that remembrance ⁹ which is the desire of our soul by night. To thee, God, my spirit awaketh early, because thy statutes are a light on the earth. Learn righteousness ye dwellers on earth,

¹¹ and turn us from this way, and take from us this path, and take from us the oracle of Israel."

⁵ invoking idols under shady trees, slaying your children in the valleys among the rocks? ⁶ This shall be thy portion; this thy lot; as thou hast poured out libations to them and to them offered up sacrifices, shall I not for these things be incensed?

² Raise thine eyes, look forward and take a view! where is there a place in which thou hast not prostituted thyself? In the highways thou hast sat for them like a deserted daw, and polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wicked acts,

³¹ and have built up the altar of Tophet which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; a thing which I never commanded them and which never entered my mind;

¹ Hear the word of the Lord which he hath spoken for you house of Israel. ² Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the ways of the nations, and at the signs of heaven be not dismayed, because they are terrified at these appearances,

³⁰ record the chieftain himself as a man of low rank, exiled by the voice of a herald; for no increase from his seed shall sit on the throne of David, nor any more be chief in Juda.

²⁸ Therefore thus said the Lord the God of Israel, This city will assuredly be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will take it. ²⁹ And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come and burn this city with fire; and they will burn those houses on the tops of which they have offered incense to Baal and poured out libations to strange gods, to provoke me. ³⁰ Because the children of Israel and the children of Juda have done nothing but evil before mine eyes from their youth; ³¹ because this very city hath been an object of my wrath and of my resentment from the day it was built to this day; ³² let him remove it from my presence on account of all the iniquities of the children of Israel and Juda, which they and their kings and their chiefs and their priests and their prophets, the men of Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have done to provoke me. ³³ For they have turned to me their back and not their face. Though I taught them betimes, they would no more receive instruction, ³⁴ but have set up their abominations in the house which is called by my name, and polluted it with their impurities; ³⁵ and have built up the altars to Baal which were in the valley of the son of Ennom to offer up their sons and their daughters to king Moloch; a thing which I never commanded them, nor did it ever come into my mind that they should commit such an abomination to cause Juda to transgress heinously.

³⁵ and have built up the altars to Baal which were in the valley of the son of Ennom to offer up their sons and their daughters to king Moloch; a thing which I never commanded them, nor did it ever come into my mind that they should commit such an abomination to cause Juda to transgress heinously.

³⁹ And I will give them another way and another heart that I may be always feared and may be for good to them and their children after them.

¹¹ For this cause, as I live saith the Lord, Because thou hast polluted my holy things with all thine abominations; therefore I will cast thee off; mine eye shall not spare nor will I have compassion.

⁹ then shall those of you, who have escaped, remember me among the nations whither they have been carried captives. With their heart which is going a whoring from me, and with their eyes, which are going a whoring after their own devices [I have sworn] they shall bewail themselves for all their abominations

²⁰ That thou didst take thy sons and thy daughters whom thou hadst born and didst sacrifice these to them to be devoured. As if it had been a small matter to commit fornication, ²¹ thou didst slay thy children and offer them up, making them expiatory sacrifices to those images,

⁶ who eateth not upon the mountains, nor lifteth up his eyes to the desires of the house of Israel, and defileth not his neighbour's wife, nor approacheth a woman in a state of separation;

¹² I gave them also my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them; that they might know that I the Lord am their sanctifier.

²⁶ that I might by their own doctrinal notions pollute them, when I passed through all their first born males in order to remove them out of sight.

³¹ even with the first fruits of your gifts; with those dedications? with which you are polluted by all your desires even to this day, shall I return you an answer, house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord, I will not answer you.

³⁹ Now as for you, house of Israel; Thus saith the Lord, put away every one his devices, and after that if you will hearken to me, and no more profane my holy name with your gifts your devices,

¹⁰ In thee they uncovered the nakedness of a father; and in thee humbled a woman in a state of separation. ¹¹ In thee one debauched his neighbour's wife; another wantonly defiled his daughter in law; and another humbled his sister, his father's daughter.

³⁷ That they have committed adultery and there is blood on their hands? They have committed adultery with their idols; and caused their children whom they bore to me to pass through fire for them. ³⁸ And when they had done this to me, they polluted my holy things and profaned my sabbaths; ³⁹ for when they had slaughtered their children to their idols, they went into my sanctuary to profane it. Now because they have acted thus in my house;

³⁹ for when they had slaughtered their children to their idols, they went into my sanctuary to profane it. Now because they have acted thus in my house;

⁴⁵ therefore these are righteous men and they will punish them with the punishment of an adulteress and with the punishment for blood. Because they are adulteresses and there is blood on their hands, ⁴⁶ thus saith the Lord, Lord, Bring up a multitude against them and expose them to tumult and rapine; ⁴⁷ and stone them with the stones of tumultuous crowds; and stab them with their swords. Let their sons and their daughters be slain and their houses burned with fire,

²⁷ And I will put my spirit in you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and to keep my judgments and practise them.

²⁸ And the nations shall know that I am the Lord who sanctifieth them, by my sanctuary being in the midst of them forever.

⁵ because their mother hath committed whoredom; she, who brought them forth hath acted shamefully; because she said, "I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, and my apparel and my fine linens, mine oil and all things convenient for me;"

¹³ And I will punish her for the days of the baleims in which she sacrificed to them. when she had put on her ear rings and her jewels, she went after her lovers and forgot me, saith the Lord;

¹² They consulted by symbols and gave them answers by their staves. By a spirit of fornication they were led astray; and they went a whoring from their God.

⁷ and dashed their sandals against the heads of the poor; and turned aside the way of the meek; and a son and a father went in unto the same handmaid. That they might profane the name of their God,

⁸ and remove three shepherds in one month; and my soul will be weighed down against them. For as their souls roared against me,

¹⁹ Therefore whosoever shall weaken the force of one of the commandments, were it even the least, and teach men accordingly, he shall be the least esteemed in the reign of the heavens; but whoever shall practise and teach them, he shall be highly esteemed in the reign of the heavens.

²⁴ Therefore whoever heareth these words of mine and putteth them in practice, him I will compare to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock.

⁵⁰ for whoever will do the will of my father who is in heaven, the same is my brother and sister and mother.

³ [For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip: ⁴ for John had said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

⁴ For God commanded saying, "Honour thy father and thy mother, and whosoever revileth father or mother let him be put to death:

²⁵ Upon which all the people, answering, said, His blood be upon us and upon our children.

¹⁰ For Moses said, "Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Let him who curseth father or mother be put to death."

⁷ Now they had no child, as Elizabeth was barren. And they were both advanced in years.

²⁵ The Lord hath dealt thus with me in the days in which he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.

²⁹ for lo! days are coming in which they will say, Happy the barren, and the wombs which never bare, and the breasts which never gave suck.

⁴ they say to him, Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery. ⁵ Now Moses in the law hath commanded us that such be stoned. What therefore .dost thou say?

¹⁷ If you know these things, happy are you if you practise them.

¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own. Now because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

⁴³ You have indeed taken up the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your God Remphan; those types which you have made to worship them; therefore I will transport you beyond Babylon.

⁵⁸ And having driven him out of the city they stoned him. And the witnesses laid their mantles at the feet of a young man named Saul, ⁵⁹ and stoned Stephen, invoking and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

¹¹ and saw the heaven opened, and a kind of vessel coming down to him, like a great sheet tied by the four corners, and let down to the earth, ¹² in which were all sorts of four footed beasts of the earth, namely, the wild beasts and the reptiles, and the birds of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him, Rise Peter; Kill And Eat. ¹⁴ Whereupon Peter said, By no means, Lord. For I have never eaten any thing common or unclean. ¹⁵ And a voice said to him a second time, What God hath cleansed call not thou that common.

²⁸ he said to them, You know unlawful it is for a man who is a Jew, to associate with or go to one of another nation: but God hath shewn me, that I am not to call any man common or unclean.

³⁰ God indeed having overlooked the ages of this ignorance; now maketh proclamation to all men every where to reform,

²⁶ therefore God gave them up to infamous passions; for even their women perverted the instinct of nature; ²⁷ and in like manner the males also leaving the sex, were inflamed with desires towards each other, which they most shamefully indulged, men with men, and received in themselves the retribution which was justly due to their error.

³⁰ And it is owing to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who hath been made to us wisdom from God, namely, righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption,

¹ It is currently reported that there is among you an act of lewdness, and of such a sort as is not named among the nations, so that one hath his father's wife:

⁹ Do you not know that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the voluptuous, nor sodomites,

¹⁶ And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God hath said, "Because I will dwell among them and walk about among them, and will be their God, and they shall be my people; ¹⁷ therefore come out from among them and separate yourselves, saith the Lord, and touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you,

⁴ as he chose us in him before the5 foundation of the world, that we might be holy and blameless before him in love;

⁷ be not ye8 therefore partakers with them. ⁸ For you were formerly darkness, but being now a light in the Lord, walk as children of light ⁹ [for the fruit of this light consists of goodness and righteousness and truth of every sort] ¹⁰ proving what is well pleasing to the Lord. ¹¹ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them:

¹² Therefore, as you, my beloved, have always been obedient, not only when I was present, but now much more when I am absent, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; ¹³ for it is God who is working in you both the will and the power to act.

¹² put on therefore as chosen of God, holy and beloved, bowels of tender mercies, gentleness, humility, meekness, long suffering,

³ for this is the will of God even your sanctification, that you abstain from fornication;

⁷ For God hath not called us for uncleanness, but to sanctification.

²³ And may the God of this peace himself sanctify you entirely! And may the whole of you: the spirit and the soul, and the body, be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹³ Now we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath, from the beginning, chosen you for salvation by a sanctification of spirit and a belief of the truth

¹⁰ fornicators, sodomites, enslavers of men, liars, perjured persons, and whatever else is contrary to the wholesome doctrine

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

¹⁴ Follow peace with all men, and that holiness without which none shall see the Lord,

²⁰ for they could not bear this threat, "And if even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned or pierced through with a dart."

²² and be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

¹⁵ but as he who hath called you is holy, be ye also holy in the whole course of your life; ¹⁶ for it is written, "Be ye holy, because I am holy."

⁹ but you being a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people peculiarly set apart that you may publish the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light

¹² Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears are open to their prayers: But the face of the Lord is against them who do evil."

⁷ As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which, in like manner with them, abandoned themselves to licentiousness, and went after strange flesh, were made an example of, suffering the vengeance of everlasting fire;

¹⁴ Nevertheless I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.

⁷ And to the angel of the congregation at Philadelphia write thus saith the Holy one and the True, who hath the key [the Son] of David, who openeth and none shutteth, and who shutteth and none openeth,

⁸ And the four animate beings had, each of them six wings around and underneath they were full of eyes. And they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!

¹⁴ Happy they who perform his commandments that they may have access to the tree of life and enter by the gates into the city:
