book: 2Chr

And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the Lord,


book: 2Chr

with twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.


book: 2Chr

Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.


book: 2Chr

Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The Lord is righteous.


book: 2Chr

And when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king’s house.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.


book: 2Chr

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;


book: 2Chr
contenido:
ought ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Have ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and they burn unto the Lord every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord our God; but ye have forsaken him.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the Lord God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the Lord struck him, and he died.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
for he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the Lord had given him rest.

book: Ezra
contenido:
For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

and weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:


book: Ezra

book: Ezra

For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.


book: Ezra

And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.

Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice.


book: Ezra

And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the Lord my God,


book: Ezra
contenido:
and said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.


book: Ezra

And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.


book: Ezra

For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.


book: Ezra

which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.


book: Ezra

Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.


book: Ezra

And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;


book: Ezra
contenido:
should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?


book: Ezra
contenido:
O Lord God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.


book: Ezra

book: Ezra

And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.


book: Ezra

Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.


book: Ezra

Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.

Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.


book: Ezra
contenido:
And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Now therefore make confession unto the Lord God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.


book: Ezra
contenido:
But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.


book: Ezra

that Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,

let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father’s house have sinned.


book: Neh
contenido:
We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.


book: Neh
contenido:
Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:


book: Neh
contenido:
but if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.


book: Neh

Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.


book: Neh

O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer.

book: Neh
contenido:
Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,


book: Neh
contenido:
and said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?


book: Neh

And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it.


book: Neh

And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.

book: Neh

And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.


book: Neh

Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king’s pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.


book: Neh

And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.


book: Neh

Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.

But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?

Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.


book: Neh

Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:


book: Neh

and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.


book: Neh
contenido:
So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.


book: Neh

But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,


book: Neh
contenido:
Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.


book: Neh

And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.


book: Neh

And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.

And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.


book: Neh

Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.


book: Neh
contenido:
And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.


book: Neh
contenido:
And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.


book: Neh
contenido:
And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.


book: Neh
contenido:
They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.


book: Neh
contenido:
For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.


book: Neh
contenido:
And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.


book: Neh
contenido:
In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.


book: Neh
contenido:
So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.


book: Neh
contenido:
Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.


book: Neh
contenido:
So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.


book: Neh

For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.

Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.


book: Neh

There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.


book: Neh
contenido:
Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.


book: Neh
contenido:
And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.


book: Neh
contenido:
Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?


book: Neh
contenido:
I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.


book: Neh
contenido:
Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.


book: Neh
contenido:
Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the Lord. And the people did according to this promise.


book: Neh
contenido:
Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.


book: Neh
contenido:
But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

book: Neh

And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.

On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;

But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:


book: Neh

and I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.


book: Neh

And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.


book: Neh

Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.


book: Neh

And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.


book: Neh

Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.


book: Neh

And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.

In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.

Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?

And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.


book: Neh

Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.


book: Neh

And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.

Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)


book: Esth

that in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,


book: Esth
contenido:
in the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:


book: Esth
contenido:
when he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days.


book: Esth
contenido:
And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace;


book: Esth
contenido:
where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.


book: Esth
contenido:
And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.


book: Esth
contenido:
Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.


book: Esth

On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,


book: Esth
contenido:
to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.


book: Esth
contenido:
But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment:


book: Esth
contenido:
and the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king’s face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)


book: Esth
contenido:
What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?


book: Esth
contenido:
And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.


book: Esth
contenido:
For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.


book: Esth
contenido:
Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king’s princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.


book: Esth
contenido:
If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.


book: Esth
contenido:
And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.


book: Esth
contenido:
for he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.


book: Esth
contenido:
After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:


book: Esth
contenido:
and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king’s chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:


book: Esth
contenido:
and let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.


book: Esth
contenido:
Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;


book: Esth
contenido:
who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.


book: Esth
contenido:
And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.


book: Esth
contenido:
So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king’s house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.


book: Esth
contenido:
Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women’s house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.


book: Esth
contenido:
Now when every maid’s turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)


book: Esth
contenido:
then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house.


book: Esth
contenido:
In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.


book: Esth
contenido:
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.


book: Esth
contenido:
So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.


book: Esth
contenido:
In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king’s gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai’s name.


book: Esth
contenido:
And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.


book: Esth
contenido:
And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king’s servants, which were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?


book: Esth
contenido:
Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.


book: Esth
contenido:
And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.


book: Esth
contenido:
In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.


book: Esth
contenido:
If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then were the king’s scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king’s ring.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.


book: Esth
contenido:
The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.


book: Esth
contenido:
The posts went out, being hastened by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.


book: Esth
contenido:
When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;


book: Esth
contenido:
and came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.


book: Esth
contenido:
And in every province, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.


book: Esth
contenido:
So Esther’s maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.


book: Esth
contenido:
Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.


book: Esth
contenido:
All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.


book: Esth
contenido:
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?


book: Esth
contenido:
Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.


book: Esth
contenido:
Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.


book: Esth
contenido:
And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.


book: Esth
contenido:
if I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.


book: Esth
contenido:
Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.


book: Esth
contenido:
On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.


book: Esth
contenido:
So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?


book: Esth
contenido:
let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:


book: Esth
contenido:
and let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.


book: Esth
contenido:
And while they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:


book: Esth
contenido:
for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king’s damage.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?


book: Esth
contenido:
And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.


book: Esth
contenido:
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.


book: Esth
contenido:
On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.


book: Esth

And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.


book: Esth

And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,


book: Esth
contenido:
and said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king’s provinces:


book: Esth

for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?

Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.

Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus’ name, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:


book: Esth

wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,

upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)


book: Esth

the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.


book: Esth

And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.


book: Esth

Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.


book: Esth

And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.

For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.


book: Esth

But the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,


book: Esth

on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

book: Esth

to stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,


book: Esth

as the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.


book: Esth

because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;


book: Esth

but when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.


book: Esth

Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,


book: Esth
contenido:
the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;


book: Esth
contenido:
and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.


book: Esth

And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,


book: Esth

to confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.


book: Esth

And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?


book: Esth

book: Job

And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.


book: Job

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

book: Job

And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?


book: Job
contenido:
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.


book: Job
contenido:
And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.


book: Job

And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:


book: Job

and the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.


book: Job

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.


book: Job

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.


book: Job

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:

and, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.


book: Job

Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,


book: Job

and said,
Naked came I out of my mother’s womb,
and naked shall I return thither:
the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away;
blessed be the name of the Lord.


book: Job

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.


book: Job

And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.


book: Job

And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.


book: Job
contenido:
And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.


book: Job

So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.


book: Job

But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.


book: Job

Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.


book: Job
contenido:
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.


book: Job

So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.


book: Job
contenido:
Let the day perish wherein I was born,
and the night in which it was said,
There is a man child conceived.


book: Job
contenido:
Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it;
let a cloud dwell upon it;
let the blackness of the day terrify it.


book: Job
contenido:
As for that night, let darkness seize upon it;
let it not be joined unto the days of the year,
let it not come into the number of the months.


book: Job
contenido:
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark;
let it look for light, but have none;
neither let it see the dawning of the day:


book: Job

For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me,
and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.


book: Job

The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion,
and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.


book: Job

it stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof:
an image was before mine eyes, there was silence,
and I heard a voice, saying,


book: Job
contenido:
how much less in them that dwell in houses of clay,
whose foundation is in the dust,
which are crushed before the moth?


book: Job
contenido:
His children are far from safety,
and they are crushed in the gate,
neither is there any to deliver them.

Whose harvest the hungry eateth up,
and taketh it even out of the thorns,

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:
therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:


book: Job

Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue:
neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.


book: Job

At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh:
neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.


book: Job
contenido:
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace;
and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.


book: Job

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me,
the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit:
the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.


book: Job

Then should I yet have comfort;
yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare;
for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.


book: Job

are not his days also like the days of an hireling?


book: Job

When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone?
and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.


book: Job
contenido:
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away:
so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.


book: Job
contenido:
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.


book: Job
contenido:
I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee,
O thou preserver of men?
why hast thou set me as a mark against thee,
so that I am a burden to myself?


book: Job
contenido:
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression,
and take away mine iniquity?
for now shall I sleep in the dust;
and thou shalt seek me in the morning,
but I shall not be.


book: Job
contenido:
How long wilt thou speak these things?
and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?


book: Job
contenido:
if thou wert pure and upright;
surely now he would awake for thee,
and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.


book: Job

He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength:
who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?


book: Job
contenido:
If I had called, and he had answered me;
yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.


book: Job

If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me:
if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.


book: Job
contenido:
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked:
he covereth the faces of the judges thereof;
if not, where, and who is he?


book: Job
contenido:
My soul is weary of my life;
I will leave my complaint upon myself;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.


book: Job
contenido:
Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress,
that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands,
and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?


book: Job
contenido:
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay;
and wilt thou bring me into dust again?


book: Job
contenido:
If I be wicked, woe unto me;
and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head.
I am full of confusion;
therefore see thou mine affliction;


book: Job
contenido:
for it increaseth.
Thou huntest me as a fierce lion:
and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.


book: Job
contenido:
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me,
and increasest thine indignation upon me;
changes and war are against me.


book: Job
contenido:
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb?
Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!


book: Job
contenido:
a land of darkness, as darkness itself;
and of the shadow of death, without any order,
and where the light is as darkness.


book: Job

and that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom,
that they are double to that which is!
Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.


book: Job
contenido:
and thine age shall be clearer than the noonday;
thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.


book: Job
contenido:
And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope;
yea, thou shalt dig about thee,
and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.


book: Job
contenido:
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,
and they shall not escape,
and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.


book: Job
contenido:
But I have understanding as well as you;
I am not inferior to you:
yea, who knoweth not such things as these?


book: Job
contenido:
I am as one mocked of his neighbour,
who calleth upon God, and he answereth him:
the just upright man is laughed to scorn.


book: Job
contenido:
The tabernacles of robbers prosper,
and they that provoke God are secure;
into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.


book: Job
contenido:
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;
and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again:
he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.


book: Job

Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up:
also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.


book: Job

He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them:
he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.


book: Job

He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth,
and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.


book: Job
contenido:
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks,
and lookest narrowly unto all my paths;
thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.


book: Job
contenido:
Seeing his days are determined,
the number of his months are with thee,
thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;


book: Job
contenido:
For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down,
that it will sprout again,
and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.


book: Job
contenido:
so man lieth down, and riseth not:
till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake,
nor be raised out of their sleep.


book: Job
contenido:
O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave,
that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past,
that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!


book: Job
contenido:
If a man die, shall he live again?
all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.


book: Job
contenido:
The waters wear the stones:
thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth;
and thou destroyest the hope of man.


book: Job
contenido:
Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth:
thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.


book: Job

His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not;
and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.


book: Job

The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days,
and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it?
he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid;
they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.


book: Job

And he dwelleth in desolate cities,
and in houses which no man inhabiteth,
which are ready to become heaps.


book: Job

He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue,
neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.


book: Job

He shall not depart out of darkness;
the flame shall dry up his branches,
and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.


book: Job
contenido:
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate,
and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.


book: Job
contenido:
I also could speak as ye do:
if your soul were in my soul’s stead,
I could heap up words against you,
and shake mine head at you.


book: Job
contenido:
And thou hast filled me with wrinkles,
which is a witness against me:
and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.


book: Job
contenido:
He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me:
he gnasheth upon me with his teeth;
mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.


book: Job
contenido:
They have gaped upon me with their mouth;
they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully;
they have gathered themselves together against me.


book: Job
contenido:
I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder:
he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces,
and set me up for his mark.


book: Job
contenido:
His archers compass me round about,
he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare;
he poureth out my gall upon the ground.


book: Job
contenido:
Upright men shall be astonied at this,
and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.


book: Job
contenido:
The righteous also shall hold on his way,
and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.


book: Job
contenido:
He teareth himself in his anger:
shall the earth be forsaken for thee?
and shall the rock be removed out of his place?


book: Job
contenido:
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle,
and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.


book: Job
contenido:
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his:
brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.


book: Job

whom I shall see for myself,
and mine eyes shall behold, and not another;
though my reins be consumed within me.


book: Job

Be ye afraid of the sword:
for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword,
that ye may know there is a judgment.


book: Job

He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found:
yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.


book: Job
contenido:
He hath swallowed down riches,
and he shall vomit them up again:
God shall cast them out of his belly.


book: Job
contenido:
That which he laboured for shall he restore,
and shall not swallow it down:
according to his substance shall the restitution be,
and he shall not rejoice therein.


book: Job
contenido:
Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor;
because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;


book: Job
contenido:
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:
every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.


book: Job

When he is about to fill his belly,
God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him,
and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.


book: Job

It is drawn, and cometh out of the body;
yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall:
terrors are upon him.


book: Job

All darkness shall be hid in his secret places:
a fire not blown shall consume him;
it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.


book: Job
contenido:
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?


book: Job
contenido:
How oft is the candle of the wicked put out!
and how oft cometh their destruction upon them!
God distributeth sorrows in his anger.


book: Job
contenido:
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him,
when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?


book: Job
contenido:
that the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction?
they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.


book: Job

The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him,
and every man shall draw after him,
as there are innumerable before him.


book: Job

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?
or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,
thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

on the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him:
he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:


book: Job

Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips;
I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey:
the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.

The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,
saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death:
if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.


book: Job

He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth:
he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

The womb shall forget him;
the worm shall feed sweetly on him;
he shall be no more remembered;
and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.


book: Job

They are exalted for a little while,
but are gone and brought low;
they are taken out of the way as all other,
and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.


book: Job
contenido:
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom?
and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?


book: Job

Lo, these are parts of his ways:
but how little a portion is heard of him?
but the thunder of his power who can understand?


book: Job

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go:
