Hebrews 2 Cross References - YLT

¹ Because of this it behoveth us more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside, ² for if the word being spoken through messengers did become stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience did receive a just recompense, ³ how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving—to be spoken through the Lord—by those having heard was confirmed to us, ⁴ God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.
⁵ For not to messengers did He subject the coming world, concerning which we speak, ⁶ and one in a certain place did testify fully, saying, `What is man, that Thou art mindful of him, or a son of man, that Thou dost look after him? <sup>7</sup> Thou didst make him some little less than messengers, with glory and honour Thou didst crown him, and didst set him over the works of Thy hands, <sup>8</sup> all things Thou didst put in subjection under his feet,' for in the subjecting to him the all things, nothing did He leave to him unsubjected, and now not yet do we see the all things subjected to him, <sup>9</sup> and him who was made some little less than messengers we see—Jesus—because of the suffering of the death, with glory and honour having been crowned, that by the grace of God for every one he might taste of death.
<sup>10</sup> For it was becoming to Him, because of whom are the all things, and through whom are the all things, many sons to glory bringing, the author of their salvation through sufferings to make perfect, <sup>11</sup> for both he who is sanctifying and those sanctified are all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, <sup>12</sup> saying, `I will declare Thy name to my brethren, in the midst of an assembly I will sing praise to Thee;' and again, `I will be trusting on Him;' <sup>13</sup> and again, `Behold I and the children that God did give to me.'
¹⁴ Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death—that is, the devil— ¹⁵ and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage, ¹⁶ for, doubtless, of messengers it doth not lay hold, but of seed of Abraham it layeth hold, ¹⁷ wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people, ¹⁸ for in that he suffered, himself being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

²³ `Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which He hath made with you, and have made to yourselves a graven image, a similitude of anything concerning which Jehovah thy God hath charged thee:

⁴⁶ and saith unto them, `Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you to-day, that ye command your sons to observe to do all the words of this law, ⁴⁷ for it is not a vain thing for you, for it is your life, and by this thing ye prolong days on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.'

¹¹ and ye have been very watchful for yourselves to love Jehovah your God. ¹² `But—if ye at all turn back and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to them, and they to you,

¹³ then thou dost prosper, if thou dost observe to do the statutes and the judgments that Jehovah charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be cast down.

⁹ Beth. With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe—according to Thy word.

¹ My son, if thou dost accept my sayings, And my commands dost lay up with thee, ² To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding, ³ For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice, ⁴ If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her, ⁵ Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest. ⁶ For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

²¹ My son! let them not turn from thine eyes, Keep thou wisdom and thoughtfulness,

¹ Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding. ² For good learning I have given to you, My law forsake not. ³ For, a son I have been to my father—tender, And an only one before my mother. ⁴ And he directeth me, and he saith to me: `Let thy heart retain my words, Keep my commands, and live.

²⁰ My son, to my words give attention, To my sayings incline thine ear, ²¹ Let them not turn aside from thine eyes, Preserve them in the midst of thy heart. ²² For life they are to those finding them, And to all their flesh healing.

¹ My son! keep my sayings, And my commands lay up with thee. ² Keep my commands, and live, And my law as the pupil of thine eye.

⁶ For, lo, I am raising up the Chaldeans, The bitter and hasty nation, That is going to the broad places of earth, To occupy tabernacles not its own.

¹⁶ Thou hast been filled—shame without honour, Drink thou also, and be uncircumcised, Turn round unto thee doth the cup of the right hand of Jehovah, And shameful spewing is on thine honour.

⁹ do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up?

¹⁸ Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?

¹⁵ `And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain it, and bear fruit in continuance.

⁴⁴ `Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.'

¹ In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets, ² in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages;

² for if the word being spoken through messengers did become stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience did receive a just recompense, ³ how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving—to be spoken through the Lord—by those having heard was confirmed to us, ⁴ God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.

⁵ and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,

²⁵ See, may ye not refuse him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who upon earth was divinely speaking—much less we who do turn away from him who speaketh from heaven, ²⁶ whose voice the earth shook then, and now hath he promised, saying, `Yet once—I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven;'

¹² Wherefore, I will not be careless always to remind you concerning these things, though, having known them, and having been established in the present truth, ¹³ and I think right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up in reminding you,

¹⁵ and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have, after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance of these things.

¹ This, now, beloved, a second letter to you I write, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding you,

²⁷ and he saith to them, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Put each his sword by his thigh, pass over and turn back from gate to gate through the camp, and slay each his brother, and each his friend, and each his relation.' ²⁸ And the sons of Levi do according to the word of Moses, and there fall of the people on that day about three thousand men,

¹ And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, take each his censer, and put in them fire, and put on it perfume, and bring near before Jehovah strange fire, which He hath not commanded them; ² and fire goeth out from before Jehovah, and consumeth them, and they die before Jehovah.

¹⁴ `Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him. <sup>15</sup> `And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God—then he hath borne his sin; ¹⁶ and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.

³³ The flesh is yet between their teeth—it is not yet cut off—and the anger of Jehovah hath burned among the people, and Jehovah smiteth among the people—a very great smiting;

²⁸ say unto them, I live—an affirmation of Jehovah—if, as ye have spoken in Mine ears—so I do not to you; ²⁹ in this wilderness do your carcases fall, even all your numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years and upward, who have murmured against Me; ³⁰ ye—ye come not in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to tabernacle in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun. ³¹ `As to your infants—of whom ye have said, A spoil they are become—I have even brought them in, and they have known the land which ye have kicked against; ³² as to you—your carcases do fall in this wilderness, ³³ and your sons are evil in the wilderness forty years, and have borne your whoredoms till your carcases are consumed in the wilderness; ³⁴ by the number of the days in which ye spied the land, forty days, —a day for a year, a day for a year—ye do bear your iniquities, forty years, and ye have known my breaking off; ³⁵ I am Jehovah, I have spoken; if I do not this to all this evil company who are meeting against me; —in this wilderness they are consumed, and there they die.'
³⁶ And the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land, and they turn back and cause all the company to murmur against him, by bringing out an evil account concerning the land, ³⁷ even the men bringing out an evil account of the land die by the plague before Jehovah;

³⁰ `And the person who doth aught with a high hand—of the native or of the sojourner—Jehovah he is reviling, and that person hath been cut off from the midst of his people; <sup>31</sup> because the word of Jehovah he despised, and His command hath broken—that person is certainly cut off; his iniquity is on him.' <sup>32</sup> And the sons of Israel are in the wilderness, and they find a man gathering wood on the sabbath-day, <sup>33</sup> and those finding him gathering wood bring him near unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company, <sup>34</sup> and they place him in ward, for it is not explained what is to be done to him. <sup>35</sup> And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `The man is certainly put to death, all the company stoning him with stones, at the outside of the camp.' ³⁶ And all the company bring him out unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones, and he dieth, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

³¹ And it cometh to pass at his finishing speaking all these words, that the ground which is under them cleaveth, ³² and the earth openeth her mouth, and swalloweth them, and their houses, and all the men who are for Korah, and all the goods, ³³ and they go down, they, and all that they have, alive to Sheol, and the earth closeth over them, and they perish from the midst of the assembly; ³⁴ and all Israel who are round about them have fled at their voice, for they said, `Lest the earth swallow us;'
³⁵ and fire hath come out from Jehovah, and consumeth the two hundred and fifty men bringing near the perfume.

⁴⁹ and those who die by the plague are fourteen thousand and seven hundred, apart from those who die for the matter of Korah;

¹¹ and Moses lifteth up his hand, and smiteth the rock with his rod twice; and much water cometh out, and the company drink, also their beasts. ¹² And Jehovah saith unto Moses, and unto Aaron, `Because ye have not believed in Me to sanctify Me before the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore ye do not bring in this assembly unto the land which I have given to them.'

⁶ And Jehovah sendeth among the people the burning serpents, and they bite the people, and much people of Israel die;

⁹ and the dead by the plague are four and twenty thousand.

³ `Your eyes are seeing that which Jehovah hath done in Baal-Peor, for every man who hath gone after Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed him from thy midst; ⁴ and ye who are cleaving to Jehovah your God, are alive, all of you, to-day.

² `When there is found in thy midst, in one of thy cities which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, a man or a woman who doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah thy God by transgressing His covenant,

⁵ `Then thou hast brought out that man, or that woman, who hath done this evil thing, unto thy gates—the man or the woman—and thou hast stoned them with stones, and they have died.

¹² And the man who acteth with presumption, so as not to hearken unto the priest (who is standing to serve there Jehovah thy God), or unto the judge, even that man hath died, and thou hast put away the evil thing from Israel,

²⁶ `Cursed is he who doth not establish the words of this law, to do them, —and all the people have said, Amen.

² Drop as rain doth My doctrine; Flow as dew doth My sayings; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,

¹⁷ The chariots of God are myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord is among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

⁵³ who received the law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep it .'

⁵ but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
⁶ and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire. ⁷ Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, `The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;' ⁸ neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand; ⁹ neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish; ¹⁰ neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer. ¹¹ And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come, ¹² so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he fall.

¹⁹ Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator—

¹ In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,

²⁸ any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die,

³⁵ Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,

⁶ and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.

²⁶ greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward;

⁵ and to remind you I intend, you knowing once this, that the Lord, a people out of the land of Egypt having saved, again those who did not believe did destroy;

² Lo, God is my salvation, I trust, and fear not, For my strength and song is Jah Jehovah, And He is to me for salvation.

⁶ and the inhabitant of this isle hath said in that day—Lo, thus is our trust, Whither we have fled for help, To be delivered from the king of Asshur, And how do we escape—we?'

⁵ Near is My righteousness, Gone out hath My salvation and Mine arms, Peoples they judge, on Me isles do wait, Yea, on Mine arm they do wait with hope.

⁸ For as a garment eat them doth a moth, And as wool eat them doth a worm, And My righteousness is to the age, And My salvation to all generations.

¹¹ Lo, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: `Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy salvation hath come,' Lo, his hire is with him, and his wage before him.

¹⁵ And he rebelleth against him, To send his messengers to Egypt, To give to him horses, and much people, Doth he prosper? doth he escape who is doing these things? And hath he broken covenant and escaped?

¹⁸ And he despised the oath—to break covenant, And lo, he hath given his hand, And all these he hath done, he escapeth not.

¹⁷ From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, `Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.'

³³ `Serpents! brood of vipers! how may ye escape from the judgment of the gehenna?

¹⁴ And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,

¹⁵ and he said to them, `Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation; <sup>16</sup> he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned. <sup>17</sup> `And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak; ¹⁸ serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.'
¹⁹ The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God; ²⁰ and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.

² as they did deliver to us, who from the beginning became eye-witnesses, and officers of the Word, —

⁶⁹ And did raise an horn of salvation to us, In the house of David His servant,

¹⁹ And he said to them, `What things?' And they said to him, `The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man—a prophet—powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,

⁴⁷ and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem: ⁴⁸ and ye—ye are witnesses of these things.

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son—the only begotten—He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him; ¹⁸ he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

²⁷ and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.

²² beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day in which he was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of his rising again.'

²² `Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according as also ye yourselves have known;

¹² and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.'

⁴⁰ `This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest, ⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God—to us who did eat with him, and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead; ⁴² and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead—

³ And dost thou think this, O man, who art judging those who such things are practising, and art doing them, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

³ for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail doth her who is with child, and they shall not escape;

¹⁵ stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners—first of whom I am;

¹¹ For the saving grace of God was manifested to all men,

² in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages;

¹ We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short,

¹¹ May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall,

⁹ and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

²⁵ whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God—ever living to make intercession for them. ²⁶ For such a chief priest did become us—kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

²⁸ any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die, ²⁹ of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?

²⁵ See, may ye not refuse him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who upon earth was divinely speaking—much less we who do turn away from him who speaketh from heaven,

¹⁷ because it is the time of the beginning of the judgment from the house of God, and if first from us, what the end of those disobedient to the good news of God? ¹⁸ And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, the ungodly and sinner—where shall he appear?

¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,' ¹⁷ because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?

¹⁰ and crying with a great voice, saying, `The salvation is to Him who is sitting upon the throne—to our God, and to the Lamb!'

³⁵ and all who are dwelling on the earth as nothing are reckoned, and according to his will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that doth clap with his hand, and saith to Him, What hast Thou done?

²⁰ and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.

⁴⁸ Jesus then said unto him, `If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.'

²⁶ `And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

³² `This Jesus did God raise up, of which we are all witnesses; ³³ at the right hand then of God having been exalted—also the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father—he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear;

¹⁵ and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses; ¹⁶ and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that is through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all.

¹⁰ be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.

³ long time, indeed, therefore, did they abide speaking boldly in the Lord, who is testifying to the word of His grace, and granting signs and wonders to come to pass through their hands.

¹¹ mighty works also—not common—was God working through the hands of Paul, ¹² so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.

¹⁸ for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed, ¹⁹ in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;

⁴ And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit; ⁵ and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord; ⁶ and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God—who is working the all in all. ⁷ And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit; ⁸ for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; ⁹ and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit; ¹⁰ and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.

⁵ having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

⁹ having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,

⁸ wherefore, he saith, `Having gone up on high he led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men,' — ⁹ and that, he went up, what is it except that he also went down first to the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ he who went down is the same also who went up far above all the heavens, that He may fill all things— ¹¹ and He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as proclaimers of good news, and some as shepherds and teachers,

⁵ and did taste the good saying of God, the powers also of the coming age,

¹³ and for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise we do wait, in which righteousness doth dwell;

¹⁵ And the seventh messenger did sound, and there came great voices in the heaven, saying, `The kingdoms of the world did become those of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall reign to the ages of the ages!'

²⁴ And Joseph saith unto his brethren, `I am dying, and God doth certainly inspect you, and hath caused you to go up from this land, unto the land which He hath sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.'

¹⁷ What is man that Thou dost magnify him? And that Thou settest unto him Thy heart? ¹⁸ And inspectest him in the mornings, In the evenings dost try him?

¹⁴ What is man that he is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman?

⁶ How much less man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!

⁴ What is man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him? ⁵ And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him. ⁶ Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet. ⁷ Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field, ⁸ Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

³ Jehovah, what is man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?

³ Trust not in princes—in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance. ⁴ His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

¹⁷ All the nations are as nothing before Him, Less than nothing and emptiness, They have been reckoned to Him.

¹² I—I am He—your comforter, Who art thou—and thou art afraid of man? he dieth! And of the son of man—grass he is made!

⁶⁸ `Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, And wrought redemption for His people,

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,

¹⁶ and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying—`A great prophet hath risen among us,' and—`God did look upon His people.'

⁴ for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh day thus: `And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;'

⁶ as also in another place He saith, `Thou art a priest—to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

¹¹ searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was manifesting, testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these,

⁵ And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.

¹ And now, laughed at me, Have the younger in days than I, Whose fathers I have loathed to set With the dogs of my flock. ² Also—the power of their hands, why is it to me? On them hath old age perished. ³ With want and with famine gloomy, Those fleeing to a dry place, Formerly a desolation and waste, ⁴ Those cropping mallows near a shrub, And broom-roots is their food. ⁵ From the midst they are cast out, (They shout against them as a thief), ⁶ In a frightful place of valleys to dwell, Holes of earth and clefts. ⁷ Among shrubs they do groan, Under nettles they are gathered together. ⁸ Sons of folly—even sons without name, They have been smitten from the land. ⁹ And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a byword. ¹⁰ They have abominated me, They have kept far from me, And from before me have not spared to spit. ¹¹ Because His cord He loosed and afflicteth me, And the bridle from before me, They have cast away. ¹² On the right hand doth a brood arise, My feet they have cast away, And they raise up against me, Their paths of calamity.

¹ Dost thou draw leviathan with an angle? And with a rope thou lettest down—his tongue? ² Dost thou put a reed in his nose? And with a thorn pierce his jaw? ³ Doth he multiply unto thee supplications? Doth he speak unto thee tender things? ⁴ Doth he make a covenant with thee? Dost thou take him for a servant age-during? ⁵ Dost thou play with him as a bird? And dost thou bind him for thy damsels? ⁶ (Feast upon him do companions, They divide him among the merchants!) ⁷ Dost thou fill with barbed irons his skin? And with fish-spears his head? ⁸ Place on him thy hand, Remember the battle—do not add! ⁹ Lo, the hope of him is found a liar, Also at his appearance is not one cast down? ¹⁰ None so fierce that he doth awake him, And who is he before Me stationeth himself?
¹¹ Who hath brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole heavens it is mine. ¹² I do not keep silent concerning his parts, And the matter of might, And the grace of his arrangement. ¹³ Who hath uncovered the face of his clothing? Within his double bridle who doth enter? ¹⁴ The doors of his face who hath opened? Round about his teeth are terrible. ¹⁵ A pride—strong ones of shields, Shut up—a close seal. ¹⁶ One unto another they draw nigh, And air doth not enter between them. ¹⁷ One unto another they adhere, They stick together and are not separated. ¹⁸ His sneezings cause light to shine, And his eyes are as the eyelids of the dawn. ¹⁹ Out of his mouth do flames go, sparks of fire escape. ²⁰ Out of his nostrils goeth forth smoke, As a blown pot and reeds. ²¹ His breath setteth coals on fire, And a flame from his mouth goeth forth. ²² In his neck lodge doth strength, And before him doth grief exult. ²³ The flakes of his flesh have adhered—Firm upon him—it is not moved. ²⁴ His heart is firm as a stone, Yea, firm as the lower piece. ²⁵ From his rising are the mighty afraid, From breakings they keep themselves free. ²⁶ The sword of his overtaker standeth not, Spear—dart—and lance. ²⁷ He reckoneth iron as straw, brass as rotten wood. ²⁸ The son of the bow doth not cause him to flee, Turned by him into stubble are stones of the sling. ²⁹ As stubble have darts been reckoned, And he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin. ³⁰ Under him are sharp points of clay, He spreadeth gold on the mire. ³¹ He causeth to boil as a pot the deep, The sea he maketh as a pot of ointment. ³² After him he causeth a path to shine, One thinketh the deep to be hoary. ³³ There is not on the earth his like, That is made without terror. ³⁴ Every high thing he doth see, He is king over all sons of pride.

⁶ `And I—I have anointed My King, Upon Zion—My holy hill.'

⁶ Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

¹⁴ And to him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages do serve him, his dominion is a dominion age-during, that passeth not away, and his kingdom that which is not destroyed.

¹⁸ And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;

³⁵ the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;

³ Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him—into his hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,

²⁴ then—the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power— ²⁵ for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet—

²⁷ for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him,

²¹ far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; ²² and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him—head over all things to the assembly,

⁹ wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name, ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow—of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth— ¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹³ And unto which of the messengers said He ever, `Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?'

⁵ For not to messengers did He subject the coming world, concerning which we speak,

²² who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven—messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who did love us, and did bathe us from our sins in his blood,

¹⁸ and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death.

¹¹ And I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers round the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders—and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands— ¹² saying with a great voice, `Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing!' <sup>13</sup> and every creature that is in the heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are upon the sea, and the all things in them, heard I saying, `To Him who is sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, is the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the might—to the ages of the ages!'

¹⁵ and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee—the head, and thou dost bruise him—the heel.'

³ For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold. ⁴ Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him—length of days, Age-during—and for ever. ⁵ Great is his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel,

¹ And a rod hath come out from the stock of Jesse, And a branch from his roots is fruitful.

² Yea, he cometh up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of a dry land, He hath no form, nor honour, when we observe him, Nor appearance, when we desire him. ³ He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.
⁴ Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains—he hath carried them, And we—we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted. ⁵ And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace is on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us. ⁶ All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all. ⁷ It hath been exacted, and he hath answered, And he openeth not his mouth, As a lamb to the slaughter he is brought, And as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, And he openeth not his mouth. ⁸ By restraint and by judgment he hath been taken, And of his generation who doth meditate, That he hath been cut off from the land of the living? By the transgression of My people he is plagued, ⁹ And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich are his high places, Because he hath done no violence, Nor is deceit in his mouth.
¹⁰ And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed—he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.

²⁸ and about clothing why are ye anxious? consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? they do not labour, nor do they spin;

²⁸ Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of Man coming in his reign.'

¹ And he said to them, `Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.'

²⁷ and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those here standing, who shall not taste of death till they may see the reign of God.'

²⁹ on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son—the only begotten—He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

⁵² The Jews, therefore, said to him, `Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death—to the age!

¹⁷ `Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;

³² and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'

³³ at the right hand then of God having been exalted—also the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father—he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear;

¹³ `The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release him,

⁸ and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

¹⁸ So, then, as through one offence to all men it is to condemnation, so also through one declaration of `Righteous' it is to all men to justification of life;

³ for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,

³² He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

¹⁵ and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

⁴ and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,

⁷ but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, ⁸ and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death—death even of a cross, ⁹ wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name,

⁶ who did give himself a ransom for all—the testimony in its own times— ⁷ Thou didst make him some little less than messengers, with glory and honour Thou didst crown him, and didst set him over the works of Thy hands,

²⁵ whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God—ever living to make intercession for them.

³ for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence it is necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;

⁵ Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, `Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me,

²¹ who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope may be in God.

² and he—he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son—the only begotten—hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him; ¹⁰ in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹² and his eyes are as a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems—having a name written that no one hath known, except himself,

²⁵ Far be it from Thee to do according to this thing, to put to death the righteous with the wicked; that it hath been—as the righteous so the wicked—far be it from Thee; doth the Judge of all the earth not do justice?'

¹⁴ And He saith, `No, for I am Prince of Jehovah's host; now I have come;' and Joshua falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith to Him, `What is my Lord speaking unto His servant?' ¹⁵ And the Prince of Jehovah's host saith unto Joshua, `Cast off thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place on which thou art standing is holy;' and Joshua doth so;

⁴ All things hath Jehovah wrought for Himself, And also the wicked worketh for a day of evil.

²¹ This people I have formed for Myself, My praise they recount.

⁴ Lo, a witness to peoples I have given him, A leader and commander to peoples.

¹⁰ Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.

¹³ Gone up hath the breaker before them, They have broken through, Yea, they pass through the gate, Yea, they go out through it, And pass on doth their king before them, And Jehovah at their head!
¹⁴ `Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men—good will.'

³² and he said to them, `Having gone, say to this fox, Lo, I cast forth demons, and perfect cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am being perfected;

²⁶ Was it not behoving the Christ these things to suffer, and to enter into his glory?'

⁴⁶ and he said to them—`Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

³⁰ when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

¹⁵ and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;

³¹ this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins;

²⁵ whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God— ²⁶ for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who is of the faith of Jesus.

¹⁴ for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God; ¹⁵ for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba—Father.' ¹⁶ The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
¹⁷ and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ—if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together. ¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory about to be revealed in us;

²⁹ because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren; ³⁰ and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.

²³ and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call—us—

²⁵ as also in Hosea He saith, `I will call what is not My people—My people; and her not beloved—Beloved, ²⁶ and it shall be—in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.'

³⁶ because of Him, and through Him, and to Him are the all things; to Him is the glory—to the ages. Amen.

⁷ but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory,

⁶ yet to us is one God, the Father, of whom are the all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are the all things, and we through Him;

¹⁸ and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

¹⁷ for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us—

¹⁸ And the all things are of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation,

¹⁸ and I will be to you for a Father, and ye—ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'

²⁶ for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,

⁵ having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, ⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved, ⁷ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, ⁸ in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

⁷ that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,

¹⁰ that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly places, through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,

¹⁶ because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created, ¹⁷ and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted.

⁴ when the Christ—our life—may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.

¹⁰ because of this all things do I endure, because of the choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that is in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during.

⁸ through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered—the obedience, ⁹ and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

²⁰ whither a forerunner for us did enter—Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become—to the age.

²⁶ For such a chief priest did become us—kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

²⁸ for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that is after the law appointeth the Son—to the age having been perfected.

² looking to the author and perfecter of faith—Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him—did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

¹² to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire to bend looking.

¹ Elders who are among you, I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you;

¹ See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him; ² beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;

¹¹ `Worthy art Thou, O Lord, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power, because Thou—Thou didst create the all things, and because of Thy will are they, and they were created.'

⁹ After these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands,

⁴⁸ And he answering said to him who spake to him, `Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?' <sup>49</sup> And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, he said, `Lo, my mother and my brethren! ⁵⁰ for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.'

⁴⁰ `And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brethren—the least—to me ye did it .

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus to them, `Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.'

³⁸ for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.'

²⁶ `For whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, of this one shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he may come in his glory, and the Father's, and the holy messengers';

¹⁹ and for them do I sanctify myself, that they also themselves may be sanctified in truth.

²¹ that they all may be one, as Thou Father art in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.'

²⁶ He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth—having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings—

²⁸ for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring.

²⁹ because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

¹⁴ Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death—that is, the devil—

¹⁰ in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,

¹⁴ for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;

¹⁶ but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.

¹² Wherefore, also Jesus—that he might sanctify through his own blood the people—without the gate did suffer;

²² I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.

²⁵ Of Thee my praise is in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.

¹⁰ Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.

¹ Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

⁵ and he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, `What are these to thee?' And he saith, `The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.'

⁹ and Joseph saith unto his father, `They are my sons, whom God hath given to me in this place;' and he saith, `Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I bless them.'

³ My God is my rock—I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Saviour, from violence Thou savest me!

¹ A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

² Jehovah is my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God is my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

⁷ How precious is Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust. ⁸ They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.

² He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

³ Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah are sons, A reward is the fruit of the womb.

¹⁷ And I have waited for Jehovah, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob, And I have looked for Him. ¹⁸ Lo, I, and the children whom Jehovah hath given to me, Are for signs and for wonders in Israel, From Jehovah of Hosts, who is dwelling in Mount Zion.

⁷ And the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set my face as a flint, And I know that I am not ashamed. ⁸ Near is He who is justifying me, Who doth contend with me? We stand together, who is mine opponent? Let him come nigh unto me. ⁹ Lo, the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Who is he that declareth me wicked? Lo, all of them as a garment wear out, A moth doth eat them.

¹⁰ And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed—he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.

⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said—Son of God I am;'

²⁹ my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

⁶ I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept; ⁷ now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee, ⁸ because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me. ⁹ `I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are, ¹⁰ and all mine are Thine, and Thine are mine, and I have been glorified in them;
¹¹ and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we; ¹² when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

¹⁵ for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I—I did beget you;

⁸ He hath swallowed up death in victory, And wiped hath the Lord Jehovah, The tear from off all faces, And the reproach of His people He turneth aside from off all the earth, For Jehovah hath spoken.

¹² Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.

¹⁴ From the hand of Sheol I do ransom them, From death I redeem them, Where is thy plague, O death? Where thy destruction, O Sheol? Repentance is hid from Mine eyes.

⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

²⁴ verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;

³¹ now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth; ³² and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.' ³³ And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;

⁹ for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.

⁵⁰ And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood the reign of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit the incorruption;

⁵⁴ and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, `The Death was swallowed up—to victory; ⁵⁵ where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?' ⁵⁶ and the sting of the death is the sin, and the power of the sin the law; ⁵⁷ and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁷ but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, ⁸ and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death—death even of a cross,

¹⁵ having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly—having triumphed over them in it.

¹⁶ and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety—God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!

¹⁰ and was made manifest now through the manifestation of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did enlighten life and immortality through the good news,

¹⁸ for in that he suffered, himself being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

¹⁵ for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but one tempted in all things in like manner—apart from sin;

¹⁵ And because of this, of a new covenant he is mediator, that, death having come, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those called may receive the promise of the age-during inheritance,

⁸ he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil; ⁹ every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin, because of God he hath been begotten. ¹⁰ In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,

¹⁰ `Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life.

⁹ and the great dragon was cast forth—the old serpent, who is called `Devil,' and `the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world—he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.

² and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years,

¹¹ Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him—at his feet.

¹⁴ Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors.

¹⁷ When together, morning is to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade.

²¹ His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his bones, they were not seen! ²² And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to those causing death. ²³ If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter—one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness: ²⁴ Then He doth favour him and saith, `Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.' <sup>25</sup> Fresher is his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the days of his youth. <sup>26</sup> He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness. <sup>27</sup> He looketh on men, and saith, `I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me. ²⁸ He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.'

¹⁹ To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.

⁴ My heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me.

¹³ For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!

¹⁹ How have they become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended—consumed from terrors.

⁴⁸ Who is the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.

⁷⁴ To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered, ⁷⁵ To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.

¹⁵ for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba—Father.'

²¹ that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;

⁵⁰ And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood the reign of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit the incorruption;
⁵¹ lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall be changed; ⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we—we shall be changed: ⁵³ for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;

¹⁰ who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

²¹ Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear?

⁷ for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;

¹⁸ and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth, because that thou hast hearkened to My voice.'

¹ A roll of the birth of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham. ² Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren, ³ and Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of Tamar, and Pharez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram, ⁴ and Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, ⁵ and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse, ⁶ and Jesse begat David the king. And David the king begat Solomon, of her who had been Uriah's, ⁷ and Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa, ⁸ and Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah, ⁹ and Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah, ¹⁰ and Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah, ¹¹ and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, at the Babylonian removal. ¹² And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel, ¹³ and Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor, ¹⁴ and Azor begat Sadok, and Sadok begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud, ¹⁵ and Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob, ¹⁶ and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ. ¹⁷ All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, fourteen generations.

²⁵ For circumcision, indeed, doth profit, if law thou mayest practise, but if a transgressor of law thou mayest be, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

¹⁶ Because of this it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which is of the law only, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham,
¹⁷ who is father of us all (according as it hath been written—`A father of many nations I have set thee,') before Him whom he did believe—God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being. <sup>18</sup> Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: `So shall thy seed be;' ¹⁹ and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb, ²⁰ and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God, ²¹ and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do: ²² wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness.
²³ And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him, ²⁴ but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned—to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead, ²⁵ who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.

¹⁶ and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, `And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, `And to thy seed,' which is Christ;

²⁹ and if ye are of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise—heirs.

¹⁶ for men indeed do swear by the greater, and an end of all controversy to them for confirmation is the oath,

¹⁰ for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;

²⁰ foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and manifested in the last times because of you,

³⁰ and no sin-offering, any of whose blood is brought in unto the tent of meeting to make atonement in the sanctuary is eaten; with fire it is burnt.

¹⁵ and one slaughtereth, and Moses taketh the blood, and putteth on the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and cleanseth the altar, and the blood he hath poured out at the foundation of the altar, and sanctifieth it, to make atonement upon it.

²⁴ and the priests slaughter them, and make a sin-offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel, for `For all Israel,' said the king, `is the burnt-offering and the sin-offering.'

⁵ And righteousness hath been the girdle of his loins, And faithfulness—the girdle of his reins.

¹⁵ and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the watered country of Israel, for a present, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement by them—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁷ And on the prince are the burnt-offerings, and the present, and the libation, in feasts, and in new moons, and in sabbaths, in all appointed times of the house of Israel: he doth make the sin-offering, and the present, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.

²⁰ And so thou dost do on the seventh of the month, because of each erring one, and because of the simple one—and ye have purified the house.

²⁴ `Seventy weeks are determined for thy people, and for thy holy city, to shut up the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover iniquity, and to bring in righteousness age-during, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.

¹⁰ for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

¹⁷ I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,

¹⁸ And the all things are of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation, ¹⁹ how that God was in Christ—a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation, ²⁰ in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, `Be ye reconciled to God;' ²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

¹⁶ and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity in it,

²¹ And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,

¹¹ for both he who is sanctifying and those sanctified are all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

² being stedfast to Him who did appoint him, as also Moses in all his house,

⁵ and Moses indeed was stedfast in all his house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken,

¹⁴ Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—may we hold fast the profession,

¹ Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil, ² and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger. ³ And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.' <sup>4</sup> But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.' ⁵ Then doth the Devil take him to the holy city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and saith to him, `If Son thou art of God—cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.' <sup>7</sup> Jesus said to him again, `It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.' ⁸ Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, ⁹ and saith to him, `All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.' <sup>10</sup> Then saith Jesus to him, `Go—Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.'

³⁷ And having taken Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful, and to be very heavy; ³⁸ then saith he to them, `Exceedingly sorrowful is my soul—unto death; abide ye here, and watch with me.' <sup>39</sup> And having gone forward a little, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, `My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou.'

⁵³ while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.'

¹³ No temptation hath taken you—except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear it .

⁷ and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch. ⁸ Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me, ⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me: ¹⁰ wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

²¹ who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.

¹² for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to him to guard—to that day.

¹⁵ for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but one tempted in all things in like manner—apart from sin; ¹⁶ we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace—for seasonable help.

² able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed with infirmity;

⁷ who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death—with strong crying and tears—having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

⁹ The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation, and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to keep,

²⁴ And to Him who is able to guard you not stumbling, and to set you in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness,

¹⁰ `Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.
