Its posts were towards the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.


book: Ezek
contenido:
In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, on which to kill the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.


book: Ezek
contenido:
On the one side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate towards the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.


book: Ezek

Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate: eight tables, on which they killed the sacrifices.


book: Ezek
contenido:
There were four tables for the burnt offering, of cut stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high. They laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice on them.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The hooks, a hand width long, were fastened within all around. The meat of the offering was on the tables.


book: Ezek
contenido:
Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate. They faced towards the south. One at the side of the east gate faced towards the north.


book: Ezek
contenido:
He said to me, “This room, which faces towards the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The room which faces towards the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from amongst the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister to him.”


book: Ezek
contenido:
He measured the court, one hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits wide, square. The altar was before the house.


book: Ezek
contenido:
Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side. The width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the width eleven cubits; even by the steps by which they went up to it. There were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.


book: Ezek
contenido:
He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The width of the entrance was ten cubits;  and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side. He measured its length, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.


book: Ezek
contenido:
Then he went inward and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.


book: Ezek
contenido:
He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the temple. He said to me, “This is the most holy place.”


book: Ezek
contenido:
Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the width of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The side rooms were in three storeys, one over another, and thirty in order. They entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might be supported, and not penetrate the wall of the house.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The side rooms were wider on the higher levels, because the walls were narrower at the higher levels. Therefore the width of the house increased upward; and so one went up from the lowest level to the highest through the middle level.


book: Ezek
contenido:
I saw also that the house had a raised base all around. The foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The thickness of the wall, which was for the side rooms, on the outside, was five cubits. That which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The doors of the side rooms were towards an open area that was left, one door towards the north, and another door towards the south. The width of the open area was five cubits all around.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The building that was before the separate place at the side towards the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.


book: Ezek
contenido:
So he measured the house, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;


book: Ezek
contenido:
also the width of the face of the house, and of the separate place towards the east, one hundred cubits.


book: Ezek
contenido:
He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits from the inner temple, and the porches of the court


book: Ezek
contenido:
the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three storeys, opposite the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),


book: Ezek
contenido:
to the space above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.


book: Ezek
contenido:
It was made with cherubim and palm trees. A palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces;


book: Ezek
contenido:
so that there was the face of a man towards the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion towards the palm tree on the other side. It was made like this through all the house all around.


book: Ezek
contenido:
Cherubim and palm trees were made from the ground to above the door. The wall of the temple was like this.


book: Ezek
contenido:
As for the temple, the door posts were squared. As for the face of the sanctuary, its appearance was as the appearance of the temple.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its length, and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”


book: Ezek
contenido:
The doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.


book: Ezek
contenido:
There were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like those made on the walls. There was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.


book: Ezek
contenido:
There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch. This is how the side rooms of the house and the thresholds were arranged.


book: Ezek
contenido:
Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way towards the north. Then he brought me into the room that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building towards the north.


book: Ezek
contenido:
Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third floor.


book: Ezek
contenido:
Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits’ width inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were towards the north.


book: Ezek
contenido:
Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle, in the building.


book: Ezek
contenido:
For they were in three storeys, and they didn’t have pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the uppermost was set back more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, towards the outer court before the rooms, its length was fifty cubits.


book: Ezek
contenido:
For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. Behold, before the temple were one hundred cubits.


book: Ezek
contenido:
In the thickness of the wall of the court towards the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The way before them was like the appearance of the rooms which were towards the north; according to their length so was their width: and all their exits were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.


book: Ezek
contenido:
According to the doors of the rooms that were towards the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall towards the east, as one enters into them.


book: Ezek
contenido:
Then he said to me, “The north rooms and the south rooms, which are before the separate place, are the holy rooms, where the priests who are near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, with the meal offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.


book: Ezek
contenido:
When the priests enter in, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but they shall lay their garments in which they minister there; for they are holy. Then they shall put on other garments, and shall approach that which is for the people.”


book: Ezek
contenido:
Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faces towards the east, and measured it all around.


book: Ezek
contenido:
He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around.


book: Ezek
contenido:
He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, the length five hundred, and the width five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.


book: Ezek
contenido:
Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth was illuminated with his glory.


book: Ezek
contenido:
It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the house.


book: Ezek
contenido:
He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell amongst the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;


book: Ezek
contenido:
in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in my anger.


book: Ezek
contenido:
Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me. Then I will dwell amongst them forever.


book: Ezek
contenido:
“You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.


book: Ezek
contenido:
If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.


book: Ezek
contenido:
“This is the law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.


book: Ezek
contenido:
“These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit  is a cubit and a hand width): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span;  and this shall be the base of the altar.

book: Ezek

He said to me, “Son of man, the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.


book: Ezek
contenido:
You shall give to the Levitical priests who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘a young bull for a sin offering.


book: Ezek
contenido:
You shall take of its blood, and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around. You shall cleanse it and make atonement for it that way.


book: Ezek
contenido:
You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.


book: Ezek
contenido:
“On the second day you shall offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.


book: Ezek

When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without defect, and a ram out of the flock without defect.


book: Ezek

You shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.

“Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without defect.


book: Ezek
contenido:
When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings. Then I will accept you,’ says the Lord GOD.”


book: Ezek
contenido:
Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks towards the east; and it was shut.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The LORD said to me, “This gate shall be shut. It shall not be opened, no man shall enter in by it; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered in by it. Therefore it shall be shut.


book: Ezek
contenido:
As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before the LORD. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out the same way.”


book: Ezek
contenido:
Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house; so I fell on my face.


book: Ezek
contenido:
The LORD said to me, “Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the LORD’s house, and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.


book: Ezek

You shall tell the rebellious, even the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You house of Israel, let that be enough of all your abominations,


book: Ezek

in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.

book: Dan
contenido:
The king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, even of the royal offspring  and of the nobles;


book: Dan
contenido:
youths in whom was no defect, but well-favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and endowed with knowledge, and understanding science, and who had the ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.


book: Dan
contenido:
The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s dainties, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at its end they should stand before the king.


book: Dan
contenido:
The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.


book: Dan
contenido:
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s dainties, nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.


book: Dan
contenido:
The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink. For why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? Then you would endanger my head with the king.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then Daniel said to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:


book: Dan
contenido:
“Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then let our faces be examined before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king’s dainties; and as you see, deal with your servants.”


book: Dan
contenido:
At the end of ten days, their faces appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths who ate of the king’s dainties.


book: Dan
contenido:
So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine that they would drink, and gave them vegetables.


book: Dan
contenido:
Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.


book: Dan
contenido:
At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.


book: Dan
contenido:
The king talked with them; and amongst them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king.


book: Dan
contenido:
In every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.


book: Dan
contenido:
In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamt dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be called to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”


book: Dan
contenido:
The king answered the Chaldeans, “The thing has gone from me. If you don’t make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut in pieces, and your houses will be made a dunghill.


book: Dan
contenido:
But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you will receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation.”


book: Dan
contenido:
They answered the second time and said, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”


book: Dan
contenido:
The king answered, “I know of a certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see the thing has gone from me.


book: Dan
contenido:
But if you don’t make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, until the situation changes. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can show me its interpretation.”


book: Dan
contenido:
The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, “There is not a man on the earth who can show the king’s matter, because no king, lord, or ruler, has asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, or Chaldean.


book: Dan
contenido:
It is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Because of this, the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.


book: Dan
contenido:
So the decree went out, and the wise men were to be slain. They sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.


book: Dan
contenido:
He answered Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree so urgent from the king?” Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.


book: Dan
contenido:
Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:


book: Dan
contenido:
that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions would not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.


book: Dan
contenido:
He changes the times and the seasons.
He removes kings, and sets up kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise,
and knowledge to those who have understanding.


book: Dan
contenido:
He reveals the deep and secret things.
He knows what is in the darkness,
and the light dwells with him.


book: Dan
contenido:
I thank you, and praise you,
you God of my fathers,
who have given me wisdom and might,
and have now made known to me what we desired of you;
for you have made known to us the king’s matter.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said this to him: “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said this to him: “I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation.”


book: Dan
contenido:
The king answered Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?”


book: Dan
contenido:
Daniel answered before the king, and said, “The secret which the king has demanded can’t be shown to the king by wise men, enchanters, magicians, or soothsayers;


book: Dan
contenido:
but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these:


book: Dan
contenido:
“As for you, O king, your thoughts came on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what will happen.


book: Dan
contenido:
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.


book: Dan
contenido:
“You, O king, saw, and behold,  a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its appearance was terrifying.


book: Dan
contenido:
As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,


book: Dan
contenido:
You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.


book: Dan
contenido:
You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the glory.


book: Dan
contenido:
Wherever the children of men dwell, he has given the animals of the field and the birds of the sky into your hand, and has made you rule over them all. You are the head of gold.


book: Dan
contenido:
“After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you; and another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth.


book: Dan
contenido:
The fourth kingdom will be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, it will break in pieces and crush.


book: Dan
contenido:
Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but there will be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.


book: Dan
contenido:
As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong, and partly broken.


book: Dan
contenido:
Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they won’t cling to one another, even as iron does not mix with clay.


book: Dan
contenido:
“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, nor will its sovereignty be left to another people; but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever.


book: Dan
contenido:
Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king what will happen hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odours to him.


book: Dan
contenido:
The king answered to Daniel, and said, “Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealler of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.


book: Dan
contenido:
Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel was in the king’s gate.


book: Dan
contenido:
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits,  and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.


book: Dan
contenido:
that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.


book: Dan
contenido:
Whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.


book: Dan
contenido:
You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;


book: Dan
contenido:
There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not respected you. They don’t serve your gods, and don’t worship the golden image which you have set up.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king.


book: Dan
contenido:
Nebuchadnezzar answered them, “Is it on purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you don’t serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?


book: Dan
contenido:
Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. Who is that god that will deliver you out of my hands?”


book: Dan
contenido:
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.


book: Dan
contenido:
If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.


book: Dan
contenido:
But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.


book: Dan
contenido:
He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then these men were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other clothes, and were cast into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.


book: Dan
contenido:
Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.


book: Dan
contenido:
These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counsellors, “Didn’t we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?”
They answered the king, “True, O king.”


book: Dan
contenido:
He answered, “Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are unharmed. The appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!”
Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle of the fire.


book: Dan
contenido:
The local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies. The hair of their head wasn’t singed. Their pants weren’t changed, the smell of fire wasn’t even on them.


book: Dan
contenido:
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.


book: Dan
contenido:
Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Nebuchadnezzar the king,
to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth:
Peace be multiplied to you.


book: Dan
contenido:
It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked towards me.


book: Dan
contenido:
How great are his signs!
How mighty are his wonders!
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
His dominion is from generation to generation.


book: Dan
contenido:
I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.


book: Dan
contenido:
Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in; and I told the dream before them; but they didn’t make known to me its interpretation.


book: Dan
contenido:
But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. I told the dream before him, saying,


book: Dan
contenido:
“Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.


book: Dan
contenido:
Thus were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and behold, a tree in the middle of the earth; and its height was great.


book: Dan
contenido:
The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its sight to the end of all the earth.


book: Dan
contenido:
The leaves of it were beautiful, and it had much fruit, and in it was food for all. The animals of the field had shade under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.


book: Dan
contenido:
“I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from the sky.


book: Dan
contenido:
He cried aloud, and said this, ‘Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches! Shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit! Let the animals get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.


book: Dan
contenido:
Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth.


book: Dan
contenido:
Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let an animal’s heart be given to him. Then let seven times pass over him.


book: Dan
contenido:
“‘The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.’


book: Dan
contenido:
“This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered, “Belteshazzar, don’t let the dream, or the interpretation, trouble you.”
Belteshazzar answered, “My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries.


book: Dan
contenido:
The tree that you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to the sky, and its sight to all the earth;


book: Dan
contenido:
whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit plentiful, and in it was food for all; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches the birds of the sky had their habitation:


book: Dan
contenido:
it is you, O king, that have grown and become strong; for your greatness has grown, and reaches to the sky, and your dominion to the end of the earth.


book: Dan
contenido:
“Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky, and saying, ‘Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him.


book: Dan
contenido:
“This is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which has come on my lord the king:


book: Dan
contenido:
that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.


book: Dan
contenido:
Whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom shall be sure to you, after that you will have known that the heavens do rule.


book: Dan
contenido:
Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your tranquillity.”


book: Dan
contenido:
The king spoke and said, “Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?”


book: Dan
contenido:
While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice came from the sky, saying, “O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: ‘The kingdom has departed from you.


book: Dan
contenido:
You shall be driven from men; and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You shall be made to eat grass as oxen. Seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.’”


book: Dan
contenido:
This was fulfilled the same hour on Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.


book: Dan
contenido:
At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honoured him who lives forever;
for his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
and his kingdom from generation to generation.


book: Dan
contenido:
All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing;
and he does according to his will in the army of heaven,
and amongst the inhabitants of the earth;
and no one can stop his hand,
or ask him, “What are you doing?”

They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.


book: Dan

In the same hour, the fingers of a man’s hand came out and wrote near the lamp stand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace. The king saw the part of the hand that wrote.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the king’s face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck one against another.


book: Dan
contenido:
The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and couldn’t make known to the king the interpretation.


book: Dan

Then king Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.


book: Dan

The queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house. The queen spoke and said, “O king, live forever; don’t let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.


book: Dan

There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. The king Nebuchadnezzar your father, yes, the king, your father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;


book: Dan
contenido:
because an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?


book: Dan
contenido:
I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light, understanding, and excellent wisdom are found in you.


book: Dan
contenido:
Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.


book: Dan
contenido:
But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations, and dissolve doubts. Now if you can read the writing, and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”


book: Dan

Then Daniel answered before the king, “Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

“You, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.


book: Dan
contenido:
Because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he wanted to, and he kept alive whom he wanted to. He raised up whom he wanted to, and he put down whom he wanted to.


book: Dan
contenido:
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.


book: Dan
contenido:
He was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky; until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.


book: Dan
contenido:
but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.


book: Dan
contenido:
“This is the interpretation of the thing:
MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.


book: Dan

Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.


book: Dan
contenido:
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred and twenty local governors, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;


book: Dan
contenido:
and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these local governors might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the local governors, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the presidents and the local governors sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion or fault, because he was faithful. There wasn’t any error or fault found in him.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then these men said, “We won’t find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then these presidents and local governors assembled together to the king, and said this to him, “King Darius, live forever!


book: Dan
contenido:
All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the local governors, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever asks a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.


book: Dan
contenido:
Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”


book: Dan
contenido:
When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room towards Jerusalem) and he knelt on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree: “Haven’t you signed a decree that every man who makes a petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?”
The king answered, “This thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then they answered and said before the king, “That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn’t respect you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he laboured until the going down of the sun to rescue him.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.”


book: Dan
contenido:
A stone was brought, and laid on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting. No musical instruments were brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.


book: Dan
contenido:
When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?”


book: Dan
contenido:
My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; because as before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.


book: Dan
contenido:
The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.


book: Dan

Then king Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth:
“Peace be multiplied to you.


book: Dan

“I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel;
“for he is the living God,
and steadfast forever.
His kingdom is that which will not be destroyed.
His dominion will be even to the end.


book: Dan
contenido:
He delivers and rescues.
He works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth,
who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”


book: Dan
contenido:
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.


book: Dan
contenido:
Daniel spoke and said, “I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke out on the great sea.


book: Dan
contenido:
“The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand on two feet as a man. A man’s heart was given to it.


book: Dan
contenido:
“Behold, there was another animal, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. They said this to it: ‘Arise! Devour much flesh!’


book: Dan
contenido:
“After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had four heads; and dominion was given to it.


book: Dan
contenido:
“After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there was a fourth animal, awesome and powerful, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the animals that were before it. It had ten horns.


book: Dan
contenido:
“I considered the horns, and behold, there came up amongst them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.


book: Dan
contenido:
“I watched until thrones were placed,
and one who was ancient of days sat.
His clothing was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like pure wool.
His throne was fiery flames,
and its wheels burning fire.


book: Dan
contenido:
A fiery stream issued and came out from before him.
Thousands of thousands ministered to him.
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The judgement was set.
The books were opened.


book: Dan
contenido:
“I watched at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burnt with fire.


book: Dan
contenido:
As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.


book: Dan
contenido:
“I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.


book: Dan
contenido:
Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom that which will not be destroyed.


book: Dan
contenido:
I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this.
“So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.


book: Dan
contenido:
But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’


book: Dan
contenido:
“Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;


book: Dan
contenido:
and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows.


book: Dan
contenido:
until the ancient of days came, and judgement was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.


book: Dan
contenido:
“Thus he said, ‘The fourth animal will be a fourth kingdom on earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will tread it down, and break it in pieces.


book: Dan
contenido:
As for the ten horns, ten kings will arise out of this kingdom. Another will arise after them; and he will be different from the former, and he will put down three kings.


book: Dan
contenido:
He will speak words against the Most High, and will wear out the saints of the Most High. He will plan to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.


book: Dan
contenido:
“‘But the judgement will be set, and they will take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.


book: Dan
contenido:
The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions will serve and obey him.’


book: Dan
contenido:
“Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.”


book: Dan
contenido:
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.


book: Dan
contenido:
I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. The two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.


book: Dan
contenido:
I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.


book: Dan
contenido:
As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.


book: Dan
contenido:
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.


book: Dan
contenido:
I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.


book: Dan
contenido:
The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns towards the four winds of the sky.


book: Dan
contenido:
Out of one of them came out a little horn, which grew exceedingly great, towards the south, and towards the east, and towards the glorious land.


book: Dan
contenido:
It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground, and trampled on them.


book: Dan
contenido:
Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.


book: Dan
contenido:
The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”


book: Dan
contenido:
He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”


book: Dan
contenido:
When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me something like the appearance of a man.


book: Dan
contenido:
I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”


book: Dan
contenido:
So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man; for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face towards the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.


book: Dan
contenido:
He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.


book: Dan
contenido:
The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.


book: Dan
contenido:
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.


book: Dan
contenido:
“In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding dark sentences, will stand up.


book: Dan
contenido:
His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.


book: Dan
contenido:
Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes; but he will be broken without hand.


book: Dan
contenido:
“The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.”


book: Dan
contenido:
I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up, and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.


book: Dan
contenido:
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the offspring of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,


book: Dan
contenido:
in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years about which the LORD’s word  came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years.


book: Dan
contenido:
I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.


book: Dan
contenido:
I prayed to the LORD my God, and made confession, and said,
“Oh, Lord, the great and dreadful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments,


book: Dan
contenido:
we have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from your precepts and from your ordinances.


book: Dan
contenido:
We haven’t listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.


book: Dan
contenido:
“Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of face, as it is today; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near, and who are far off, through all the countries where you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.


book: Dan
contenido:
Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.


book: Dan
contenido:
We haven’t obeyed the LORD our God’s voice, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.


book: Dan
contenido:
Yes, all Israel have transgressed your law, turning aside, that they should not obey your voice.
“Therefore the curse and the oath written in the law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us; for we have sinned against him.


book: Dan
contenido:
He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges who judged us, by bringing on us a great evil; for under the whole sky, such has not been done as has been done to Jerusalem.


book: Dan
contenido:
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us. Yet we have not entreated the favour of the LORD our God, that we should turn from our iniquities and have discernment in your truth.


book: Dan
contenido:
Therefore the LORD has watched over the evil, and brought it on us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he does, and we have not obeyed his voice.


book: Dan
contenido:
“Now, Lord our God, who has brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten yourself renown, as it is today; we have sinned. We have done wickedly.


book: Dan
contenido:
Lord, according to all your righteousness, let your anger and please let your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all who are around us.


book: Dan
contenido:
“Now therefore, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant, and to his petitions, and cause your face to shine on your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.


book: Dan
contenido:
My God, turn your ear, and hear. Open your eyes, and see our desolations, and the city which is called by your name; for we do not present our petitions before you for our righteousness, but for your great mercies’ sake.


book: Dan
contenido:
Lord, hear. Lord, forgive. Lord, listen and do. Don’t defer, for your own sake, my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.”


book: Dan
contenido:
While I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;


book: Dan
contenido:
yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening offering.


book: Dan
contenido:
He instructed me and talked with me, and said, Daniel, “I have now come to give you wisdom and understanding.


book: Dan
contenido:
At the beginning of your petitions the commandment went out, and I have come to tell you; for you are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision.


book: Dan
contenido:
“Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.


book: Dan
contenido:
“Know therefore and discern that from the going out of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Anointed One,  the prince, will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be built again, with street and moat, even in troubled times.


book: Dan
contenido:
After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One  will be cut off, and will have nothing. The people of the prince who come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will be with a flood, and war will be even to the end. Desolations are determined.


book: Dan
contenido:
He will make a firm covenant with many for one week. In the middle of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease. On the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, wrath will be poured out on the desolate.”


book: Dan
contenido:
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a great warfare. He understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.


book: Dan
contenido:
I ate no pleasant bread. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I didn’t anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.


book: Dan
contenido:
In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,


book: Dan
contenido:
I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose thighs were adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.


book: Dan
contenido:
His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.


book: Dan
contenido:
I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision; but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.


book: Dan
contenido:
So I was left alone, and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.


book: Dan
contenido:
Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face towards the ground.


book: Dan
contenido:
He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.


book: Dan
contenido:
Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.


book: Dan
contenido:
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.


book: Dan
contenido:
Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.


book: Dan
contenido:
For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”


book: Dan
contenido:
He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.”
When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.”


book: Dan
contenido:
Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.


book: Dan
contenido:
But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these, but Michael your prince.


book: Dan
contenido:
“Now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings will stand up in Persia; and the fourth will be far richer than all of them. When he has grown strong through his riches, he will stir up all against the realm of Greece.


book: Dan
contenido:
When he stands up, his kingdom will be broken, and will be divided towards the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom will be plucked up, even for others besides these.


book: Dan
contenido:
“The king of the south will be strong. One of his princes will become stronger than him, and have dominion. His dominion will be a great dominion.


book: Dan
contenido:
At the end of years they will join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement; but she will not retain the strength of her arm. He will also not stand, nor will his arm; but she will be given up, with those who brought her, and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened her in those times.


book: Dan
contenido:
“But out of a shoot from her roots one will stand up in his place, who will come to the army, and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and will deal against them, and will prevail.


book: Dan
contenido:
He will also carry their gods, with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, captive into Egypt. He will refrain some years from the king of the north.


book: Dan
contenido:
His sons will wage war, and will assemble a multitude of great forces, which will come on, and overflow, and pass through. They will return and wage war, even to his fortress.


book: Dan
contenido:
“The king of the south will be moved with anger, and will come out and fight with him, even with the king of the north. He will send out a great multitude, and the multitude will be given into his hand.


book: Dan
contenido:
The multitude will be lifted up, and his heart will be exalted. He will cast down tens of thousands, but he won’t prevail.

book: Dan

So the king of the north will come and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city. The forces of the south won’t stand, neither will his chosen people, neither will there be any strength to stand.


book: Dan

But he who comes against him will do according to his own will, and no one will stand before him. He will stand in the glorious land, and destruction will be in his hand.


book: Dan
contenido:
He will set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions. He will perform them. He will give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she will not stand, and won’t be for him.


book: Dan
contenido:
After this he will turn his face to the islands, and will take many; but a prince will cause the reproach offered by him to cease. Yes, moreover, he will cause his reproach to turn on him.

book: Dan

The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.


book: Dan

After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up, and will become strong, with a small people.


book: Dan
contenido:
In time of security he will come even on the fattest places of the province. He will do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter amongst them prey, plunder, and substance. Yes, he will devise his plans against the strongholds, even for a time.


book: Dan
contenido:
“He will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will wage war in battle with an exceedingly great and mighty army; but he won’t stand; for they will devise plans against him.

As for both these kings, their hearts will be to do mischief, and they will speak lies at one table; but it won’t prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time.


book: Dan

book: Dan

“He will return at the appointed time, and come into the south; but it won’t be in the latter time as it was in the former.


book: Dan

For ships of Kittim will come against him. Therefore he will be grieved, and will return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and will take action. He will even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.


book: Dan

“Forces will stand on his part, and they will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and will take away the continual burnt offering. Then they will set up the abomination that makes desolate.

book: Dan

“Those who are wise amongst the people will instruct many; yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder, many days.


book: Dan

Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.


book: Dan
contenido:
Some of those who are wise will fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed.


book: Dan
contenido:
“The king will do according to his will. He will exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvellous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is determined will be done.


book: Dan
contenido:
He won’t regard the gods of his fathers, or the desire of women, or regard any god; for he will magnify himself above all.


book: Dan
contenido:
But in his place he will honour the god of fortresses. He will honour a god whom his fathers didn’t know with gold, silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things.


book: Dan
contenido:
He will deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. He will increase with glory whoever acknowledges him. He will cause them to rule over many, and will divide the land for a price.


book: Dan

“At the time of the end the king of the south will contend with him; and the king of the north will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, with horsemen, and with many ships. He will enter into the countries, and will overflow and pass through.


book: Dan

He will enter also into the glorious land, and many countries will be overthrown; but these will be delivered out of his hand: Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.


book: Dan
contenido:
But he will have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt. The Libyans and the Ethiopians will be at his steps.


book: Dan
contenido:
But news out of the east and out of the north will trouble him; and he will go out with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many.


book: Dan

He will plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.


book: Dan

“At that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. At that time your people will be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.


book: Dan

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

book: Dan

One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be to the end of these wonders?”


book: Dan

I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it will be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have finished breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished.


book: Dan

The LORD’s  word that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.


book: Hos
contenido:
When the LORD spoke at first by Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery, forsaking the LORD.”


book: Hos
contenido:
The LORD said to him, “Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.


book: Hos
contenido:
She conceived again, and bore a daughter.
Then he said to him, “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah ; for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon them.


book: Hos
contenido:
But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God,  and will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”


book: Hos
contenido:
Yet the number of the children of Israel will be as the sand of the sea, which can’t be measured or counted; and it will come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’


book: Hos
contenido:
The children of Judah and the children of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint themselves one head, and will go up from the land; for great will be the day of Jezreel.


book: Hos
contenido:
Contend with your mother!
Contend, for she is not my wife,
neither am I her husband;
and let her put away her prostitution from her face,
and her adulteries from between her breasts;


book: Hos
contenido:
Lest I strip her naked,
and make her bare as in the day that she was born,
and make her like a wilderness,
and set her like a dry land,
and kill her with thirst.


book: Hos
contenido:
For their mother has played the prostitute.
She who conceived them has done shamefully;
for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
who give me my bread and my water,
my wool and my flax,
my oil and my drink.’


book: Hos
contenido:
Therefore behold,  I will hedge up your way with thorns,
and I will build a wall against her,
that she can’t find her way.


book: Hos
contenido:
She will follow after her lovers,
but she won’t overtake them;
and she will seek them,
but won’t find them.
Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband;
for then was it better with me than now.’


book: Hos
contenido:
For she didn’t know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil,
and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.


book: Hos
contenido:
Therefore I will take back my grain in its time,
and my new wine in its season,
and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.


book: Hos
contenido:
Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,
and no one will deliver her out of my hand.


book: Hos
contenido:
I will also cause all her celebrations to cease:
her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.


book: Hos
contenido:
I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me;
and I will make them a forest,’
and the animals of the field shall eat them.


book: Hos
contenido:
I will visit on her the days of the Baals,
to which she burnt incense,
when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels,
and went after her lovers,
and forgot me,” says the LORD.


book: Hos
contenido:
I will give her vineyards from there,
and the valley of Achor for a door of hope;
and she will respond there,
as in the days of her youth,
and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.


book: Hos
contenido:
It will be in that day,” says the LORD,
“that you will call me ‘my husband,’
and no longer call me ‘my master.’


book: Hos
contenido:
For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth,
and they will no longer be mentioned by name.


book: Hos
contenido:
In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field,
and with the birds of the sky,
and with the creeping things of the ground.
I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land,
and will make them lie down safely.


book: Hos
contenido:
I will betroth you to me forever.
Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.


book: Hos
contenido:
It will happen in that day, I will respond,” says the LORD,
“I will respond to the heavens,
and they will respond to the earth;


book: Hos
contenido:
and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil;
and they will respond to Jezreel.


book: Hos
contenido:
I will sow her to me in the earth;
and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy;
and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’
and they will say, ‘My God!’”


book: Hos
contenido:
The LORD said to me, “Go again, love a woman loved by another, and an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins.”


book: Hos
contenido:
I said to her, “You shall stay with me many days. You shall not play the prostitute, and you shall not be with any other man. I will also be so towards you.”


book: Hos
contenido:
For the children of Israel shall live many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.


book: Hos
contenido:
Afterward the children of Israel shall return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to the LORD and to his blessings in the last days.


book: Hos
contenido:
Hear the LORD’s word, you children of Israel;
for the LORD has a charge against the inhabitants of the land:
“Indeed there is no truth,
nor goodness,
nor knowledge of God in the land.


book: Hos
contenido:
There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery;
they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.


book: Hos
contenido:
Therefore the land will mourn,
and everyone who dwells in it will waste away,
with all living things in her,
even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky,
yes, the fish of the sea also die.


book: Hos
contenido:
“Yet let no man bring a charge, neither let any man accuse; for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.


book: Hos
contenido:
You will stumble in the day,
and the prophet will also stumble with you in the night;
and I will destroy your mother.


book: Hos
contenido:
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you,
that you may be no priest to me.
Because you have forgotten your God’s law,
I will also forget your children.


book: Hos
contenido:
It will be, like people, like priest;
and I will punish them for their ways,
and will repay them for their deeds.


book: Hos
contenido:
They will eat, and not have enough.
They will play the prostitute, and will not increase;
because they have abandoned giving to the LORD.


book: Hos
contenido:
My people consult with their wooden idol,
and answer to a stick of wood.
Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray,
and they have been unfaithful to their God.


book: Hos
contenido:
They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains,
and burn incense on the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths,
because its shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the prostitute,
and your brides commit adultery.


book: Hos
contenido:
I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute,
nor your brides when they commit adultery;
because the men consort with prostitutes,
and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes;
so the people without understanding will come to ruin.


book: Hos
contenido:
“Though you, Israel, play the prostitute,
yet don’t let Judah offend;
and don’t come to Gilgal,
neither go up to Beth Aven,
nor swear, ‘As the LORD lives.’


book: Hos
contenido:
For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer.
Then how will the LORD feed them like a lamb in a meadow.


book: Hos
contenido:
Their drink has become sour.
They play the prostitute continually.
Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.


book: Hos
contenido:
The wind has wrapped her up in its wings;
and they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices.


book: Hos
contenido:
“Listen to this, you priests!
Listen, house of Israel,
and give ear, house of the king!
For the judgement is against you;
for you have been a snare at Mizpah,
and a net spread on Tabor.


book: Hos
contenido:
I know Ephraim,
and Israel is not hidden from me;
for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute.
Israel is defiled.


book: Hos
contenido:
Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God;
for the spirit of prostitution is within them,
and they don’t know the LORD.


book: Hos
contenido:
The pride of Israel testifies to his face.
Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity.
Judah also will stumble with them.


book: Hos
contenido:
They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD;
but they won’t find him.
He has withdrawn himself from them.


book: Hos
contenido:
They are unfaithful to the LORD;
for they have borne illegitimate children.
Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.


book: Hos
contenido:
“Blow the cornet in Gibeah,
and the trumpet in Ramah!
Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin!


book: Hos
contenido:
Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke.
Amongst the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.


book: Hos
contenido:
The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark.
I will pour out my wrath on them like water.


book: Hos
contenido:
“When Ephraim saw his sickness,
and Judah his wound,
Then Ephraim went to Assyria,
and sent to king Jareb:
but he is not able to heal you,
neither will he cure you of your wound.


book: Hos
contenido:
For I will be to Ephraim like a lion,
and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I myself will tear in pieces and go away.
I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.


book: Hos
contenido:
I will go and return to my place,
until they acknowledge their offence,
and seek my face.
In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”


book: Hos
contenido:
“Come! Let’s return to the LORD;
for he has torn us to pieces,
and he will heal us;
he has injured us,
and he will bind up our wounds.


book: Hos
contenido:
After two days he will revive us.
On the third day he will raise us up,
and we will live before him.


book: Hos
contenido:
Let’s acknowledge the LORD.
Let’s press on to know the LORD.
As surely as the sun rises,
The LORD will appear.
He will come to us like the rain,
like the spring rain that waters the earth.”


book: Hos
contenido:
“Ephraim, what shall I do to you?
Judah, what shall I do to you?
For your love is like a morning cloud,
and like the dew that disappears early.


book: Hos
contenido:
Therefore I have cut them to pieces with the prophets;
I killed them with the words of my mouth.
Your judgements are like a flash of lightning.


book: Hos
contenido:
As gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man,
so the company of priests murder on the path towards Shechem,
committing shameful crimes.


book: Hos
contenido:
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing.
There is prostitution in Ephraim.
Israel is defiled.


book: Hos
contenido:
When I would heal Israel,
then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered,
also the wickedness of Samaria;
for they commit falsehood,
and the thief enters in,
and the gang of robbers ravages outside.


book: Hos
contenido:
They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness.
Now their own deeds have engulfed them.
They are before my face.


book: Hos
contenido:
They are all adulterers.
They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring,
from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.


book: Hos
contenido:
On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine.
He joined his hand with mockers.


book: Hos
contenido:
For they have prepared their heart like an oven,
while they lie in wait.
Their baker sleeps all the night.
In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.


book: Hos
contenido:
They are all hot as an oven,
and devour their judges.
All their kings have fallen.
There is no one amongst them who calls to me.


book: Hos
contenido:
Strangers have devoured his strength,
and he doesn’t realise it.
Indeed, grey hairs are here and there on him,
and he doesn’t realise it.


book: Hos
contenido:
The pride of Israel testifies to his face;
yet they haven’t returned to the LORD their God,
nor sought him, for all this.


book: Hos
contenido:
“Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding.
They call to Egypt.
They go to Assyria.


book: Hos
contenido:
When they go, I will spread my net on them.
I will bring them down like the birds of the sky.
I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.


book: Hos
contenido:
Woe to them!
For they have wandered from me.
Destruction to them!
For they have trespassed against me.
Though I would redeem them,
yet they have spoken lies against me.


book: Hos
contenido:
They haven’t cried to me with their heart,
but they howl on their beds.
They assemble themselves for grain and new wine.
They turn away from me.


book: Hos
contenido:
They return, but not to the Most High.
They are like a faulty bow.
Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue.
This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.


book: Hos
contenido:
“Put the trumpet to your lips!
Something like an eagle is over the LORD’s house,
because they have broken my covenant,
and rebelled against my law.


book: Hos
contenido:
They have set up kings, but not by me.
They have made princes, and I didn’t approve.
Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols,
that they may be cut off.


book: Hos
contenido:
Let Samaria throw out his calf idol!
My anger burns against them!
How long will it be until they are capable of purity?


book: Hos
contenido:
For this is even from Israel!
The workman made it, and it is no God;
indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.


book: Hos
contenido:
For they sow the wind,
and they will reap the whirlwind.
He has no standing grain.
The stalk will yield no head.
If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.


book: Hos
contenido:
For they have gone up to Assyria,
like a wild donkey wandering alone.
Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.


book: Hos
contenido:
But although they sold themselves amongst the nations,
I will now gather them;
and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.


book: Hos
contenido:
As for the sacrifices of my offerings,
they sacrifice meat and eat it;
But the LORD doesn’t accept them.
Now he will remember their iniquity,
and punish their sins.
They will return to Egypt.


book: Hos
contenido:
For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces;
and Judah has multiplied fortified cities;
but I will send a fire on his cities,
and it will devour its fortresses.”


book: Hos
contenido:
Don’t rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations;
for you were unfaithful to your God.
You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.


book: Hos
contenido:
They won’t dwell in the LORD’s land;
but Ephraim will return to Egypt,
and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.


book: Hos
contenido:
They won’t pour out wine offerings to the LORD,
neither will they be pleasing to him.
Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;
all who eat of it will be polluted;
for their bread will be for their appetite.
It will not come into the LORD’s house.


book: Hos
contenido:
For, behold, they have gone away from destruction.
Egypt will gather them up.
Memphis will bury them.
Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver.
Thorns will be in their tents.


book: Hos
contenido:
The days of visitation have come.
The days of reckoning have come.
Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool,
and the man who is inspired to be insane,
because of the abundance of your sins,
and because your hostility is great.


book: Hos
contenido:
A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God.
A fowler’s snare is on all of his paths,
and hostility in the house of his God.


book: Hos
contenido:
They have deeply corrupted themselves,
as in the days of Gibeah.
He will remember their iniquity.
He will punish them for their sins.


book: Hos
contenido:
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness.
I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season;
but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing,
and became abominable like that which they loved.


book: Hos
contenido:
As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird.
There will be no birth, no one with child, and no conception.


book: Hos
contenido:
Though they bring up their children,
yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left.
Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them!


book: Hos
contenido:
I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place;
but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.


book: Hos
contenido:
“All their wickedness is in Gilgal;
for there I hated them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house!
I will love them no more.
All their princes are rebels.


book: Hos
contenido:
Ephraim is struck.
Their root has dried up.
They will bear no fruit.
Even though they give birth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb.”


book: Hos
contenido:
My God will cast them away, because they didn’t listen to him;
and they will be wanderers amongst the nations.


book: Hos
contenido:
Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit.
According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars.
As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.


book: Hos
contenido:
Their heart is divided.
Now they will be found guilty.
He will demolish their altars.
He will destroy their sacred stones.


book: Hos
contenido:
Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we don’t fear the LORD;
and the king, what can he do for us?”


book: Hos
contenido:
They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants.
Therefore judgement springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.


book: Hos
contenido:
The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven;
for its people will mourn over it,
Along with its priests who rejoiced over it,
for its glory, because it has departed from it.


book: Hos
contenido:
It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king.
Ephraim will receive shame,
and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.


book: Hos
contenido:
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed.
The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars.
They will tell the mountains, “Cover us!” and the hills, “Fall on us!”


book: Hos
contenido:
“Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah.
There they remained.
The battle against the children of iniquity doesn’t overtake them in Gibeah.


book: Hos
contenido:
When it is my desire, I will chastise them;
and the nations will be gathered against them,
when they are bound to their two transgressions.


book: Hos
contenido:
Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh;
so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck.
I will set a rider on Ephraim.
Judah will plough.
Jacob will break his clods.


book: Hos
contenido:
Sow to yourselves in righteousness,
reap according to kindness.
Break up your fallow ground;
for it is time to seek the LORD,
until he comes and rains righteousness on you.


book: Hos
contenido:
You have ploughed wickedness.
You have reaped iniquity.
You have eaten the fruit of lies,
for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.


book: Hos
contenido:
Therefore a battle roar will arise amongst your people,
and all your fortresses will be destroyed,
as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle.
The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.


book: Hos
contenido:
So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness.
At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.


book: Hos
contenido:
They called to them, so they went from them.
They sacrificed to the Baals,
and burnt incense to engraved images.


book: Hos
contenido:
I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love;
and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks;
and I bent down to him and I fed him.


book: Hos
contenido:
“They won’t return into the land of Egypt;
but the Assyrian will be their king,
because they refused to repent.


book: Hos
contenido:
The sword will fall on their cities,
and will destroy the bars of their gates,
and will put an end to their plans.


book: Hos
contenido:

They all said to each other, “Come! Let’s cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

He said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD, the God  of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.”

The waters surrounded me,
even to the soul.
The deep was around me.

book: Jonah

but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands.


book: Jonah
contenido:
Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?”


book: Jonah
contenido:
God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he didn’t do it.


book: Jonah
contenido:
He prayed to the LORD, and said, “Please, LORD, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.


book: Jonah
contenido:
Therefore now, LORD, take, I beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.”

book: Jonah
contenido:
God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?”
He said, “I am right to be angry, even to death.”


book: Jonah
contenido:
The LORD said, “You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not laboured, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night.


book: Jonah
contenido:
Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?”

The book of the words of Tobit, the son of Tobiel, the son of Ananiel, the son of Aduel, the son of Gabael, of the seed of Asiel, of the tribe of Naphtali;


book: Tob

who in the days of Enemessar  king of the Assyrians was carried away captive out of Thisbe, which is on the right hand of Kedesh Naphtali in Galilee above Asher.


book: Tob
contenido:
I, Tobit walked in the ways of truth and righteousness all the days of my life, and I did many alms deeds to my kindred and my nation, who went with me into the land of the Assyrians, to Nineveh.


book: Tob
contenido:
When I was in my own country, in the land of Israel, while I was yet young, all the tribe of Naphtali my father fell away from the house of Jerusalem, which was chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, that all the tribes should sacrifice there, and the temple of the habitation of the Most High was hallowed and built therein for all ages.


book: Tob
contenido:
All the tribes which fell away together sacrificed to the heifer Baal, and so did the house of Naphtali my father.


book: Tob
contenido:
I alone went often to Jerusalem at the feasts, as it has been ordained to all Israel by an everlasting decree, having the first fruits and the tenths of my increase, and that which was first shorn; and I gave them at the altar to the priests the sons of Aaron.


book: Tob
contenido:
I gave a tenth part of all my increase to the sons of Levi, who ministered at Jerusalem. A second tenth part I sold away, and went, and spent it each year at Jerusalem.


book: Tob

A third tenth I gave to them to whom it was appropriate, as Deborah my father’s mother had commanded me, because I was left an orphan by my father.

When I became a man, I took as wife Anna of the seed of our own family. With her, I became the father of Tobias.

When I was carried away captive to Nineveh, all my kindred and my relatives ate of the bread of the Gentiles;


book: Tob

book: Tob

And I went into Media, and left ten talents of silver in trust with Gabael, the brother of Gabrias, at Rages of Media.


book: Tob
contenido:
And when Enemessar was dead, Sennacherib his son reigned in his place. In his time, the highways were troubled,  and I could no longer go into Media.


book: Tob
contenido:
and my garments to the naked. If I saw any of my race dead, and thrown out on  the wall of Ninevah, I buried him.


book: Tob
contenido:
If Sennacherib the king killed any, when he came fleeing from Judea, I buried them privately; for in his wrath he killed many; and the bodies were sought for by the king, and were not found.


book: Tob
contenido:
But one of the Ninevites went and showed to the king concerning me, how I buried them, and hid myself; and when I knew that I was sought for to be put to death, I withdrew myself for fear.


book: Tob

And all my goods were forcibly taken away, and there was nothing left to me, save my wife Anna and my son Tobias.


book: Tob

No more than fifty five days passed before two of his sons killed him, and they fled into the mountains of Ararat. And Sarchedonus  his son reigned in his place; and he appointed Achiacharus my brother Anael’s son over all the accounts of his kingdom, and over all his affairs.


book: Tob
contenido:
Achiacharus requested me, and I came to Nineveh. Now Achiacharus was cupbearer, keeper of the signet, steward, and overseer of the accounts. Sarchedonus appointed him next to himself, but he was my brother’s son.


book: Tob
contenido:
Now when I had come home again, and my wife Anna was restored to me, and my son Tobias, in the feast of Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a good dinner prepared me, and I sat down to eat.


book: Tob
contenido:
I saw abundance of meat, and I said to my son, “Go and bring whatever poor man you find of our kindred, who is mindful of the Lord. Behold, I wait for you.”


book: Tob
contenido:
Then he came, and said, “Father, one of our race is strangled, and has been cast out in the marketplace.”


book: Tob
contenido:
and remembered the prophecy of Amos, as he said,
“Your feasts will be turned into mourning,
and all your mirth into lamentation.


book: Tob
contenido:
My neighbours mocked me, and said, “He is no longer afraid to be put to death for this matter; and yet he fled away. Behold, he buries the dead again.”


book: Tob
contenido:
The same night I returned from burying him, and slept by the wall of my courtyard, being polluted; and my face was uncovered.


book: Tob
contenido:
I didn’t know that there were sparrows in the wall. My eyes were open and the sparrows dropped warm dung into my eyes, and white films came over my eyes. I went to the physicians, and they didn’t help me; but Achiacharus nourished me, until I went  into Elymais.


book: Tob
contenido:
But when it came to my house, it began to cry, and I said to her, Where did this kid come from? Is it stolen? Give it back to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat anything that is stolen.


book: Tob
contenido:
But she said, “It has been given to me for a gift more than the wages.”
I didn’t believe her, and I asked her to return it to the owners; and I was ashamed of her.
But she answered and said to me, “Where are your alms and your righteous deeds? Behold, you and all your works are known. ”


book: Tob
contenido:
“O Lord, you are righteous, and all your works and all your ways are mercy and truth, and you judge true and righteous judgement forever.


book: Tob
contenido:
Remember me, and look at me. Don’t take vengeance on me for my sins and my ignorances, and the sins of my fathers who sinned before you.


book: Tob
contenido:
For they disobeyed your commandments. You gave us as plunder, for captivity, for death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations amongst whom we are dispersed.


book: Tob
contenido:
Now your judgements are many and true; that you should deal with me according to my sins and the sins of my fathers; because we didn’t keep your commandments, for we didn’t walk in truth before you.


book: Tob
contenido:
Now deal with me according to that which is pleasing in your sight. Command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be released, and become earth. For it is more profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and there is much sorrow in me. Command that I be released from my distress, now, and go to the everlasting place. Don’t turn your face away from me.”


book: Tob
contenido:
The same day it happened to Sarah the daughter of Raguel in Ecbatana of Media, that she also was reproached by her father’s maidservants;


book: Tob
contenido:
because that she had been given to seven husbands, and Asmodaeus the evil spirit  killed them, before they had lain with her. And they said to her, “Do you not know that you strangle your husbands? You have had already seven husbands, and you haven’t borne the name of any one of them.


book: Tob
contenido:
Why do you scourge us? If they are dead, go your ways with them. Let us never see either son or daughter from you.”


book: Tob
contenido:
When she heard these things, she was grieved exceedingly, so that she thought about hanging herself. Then she said, “I am the only daughter of my father. If I do this, it will be a reproach to him, and I will bring down his old age with sorrow to the grave. ”


book: Tob
contenido:
Then she prayed by the window, and said, “Blessed are you, O Lord my God, and blessed is your holy and honourable name forever! Let all your works praise you forever!


book: Tob
contenido:
and that I never polluted my name or the name of my father, in the land of my captivity. I am the only daughter of my father, and he has no child that will be his heir, nor brother near him, nor son belonging to him, that I should keep myself for a wife to him. Seven husbands of mine are dead already. Why should I live? If it doesn’t please you to kill me, command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken of me, and that I hear no more reproach.”


book: Tob
contenido:
Raphael also was sent to heal them both, to scale away the white films from Tobit’s eyes, and to give Sarah the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodaeus the evil spirit ; because it belonged to Tobias that he should inherit her. At that very time, Tobit returned and entered into his house, and Sarah the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.


book: Tob
contenido:
and he said to himself, I have asked for death; why do I not call my son Tobias, that I may explain to him about the money before I die?


book: Tob
contenido:
And he called him, and said,
“My child, if I die, bury me. Don’t despise your mother. Honour her all the days of your life, and do that which is pleasing to her, and don’t grieve her.


book: Tob
contenido:
Remember, my child, that she has seen many dangers for you, when you were in her womb. When she is dead, bury her by me in one grave.


book: Tob
contenido:
My child, be mindful of the Lord our God all your days, and don’t let your will be set to sin and to transgress his commandments: do righteousness all the days of your life, and don’t follow the ways of unrighteousness.


book: Tob
contenido:
For if you do what is true, your deeds will prosperously succeed for you, and for all those who do righteousness.


book: Tob
contenido:
Give alms from your possessions. When you give alms, don’t let your eye be envious. Don’t turn away your face from any poor man, and the face of God won’t be turned away from you.


book: Tob
contenido:
As your possessions are, give alms of it according to your abundance. If you have little, don’t be afraid to give alms according to that little;


book: Tob
contenido:
Beware, my child, of all whoredom, and take first a wife of the seed of your fathers. Don’t take a strange wife, who is not of your father’s tribe; for we are the descendants of the prophets. Remember, my child, that Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, our fathers of old time, all took wives of their kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed will inherit the land.


book: Tob
contenido:
And now, my child, love your kindred, and don’t scorn your kindred and the sons and the daughters of your people in your heart, to take a wife of them; for in scornfulness is destruction and much trouble, and in naughtiness is decay and great lack; for naughtiness is the mother of famine.


book: Tob
contenido:
Don’t let the wages of any man who works for you wait with you, but give it to him out of hand. If you serve God, you will be rewarded. Take heed to yourself, my child, in all your works, and be discreet in all your behaviour.


book: Tob
contenido:
And what you yourself hate, do to no man. Don’t drink wine to drunkenness, and don’t let drunkenness go with you on your way.


book: Tob
contenido:
Give of your bread to the hungry, and of your garments to those who are naked. Give alms from all your abundance. Don’t let your eye be envious when you give alms.


book: Tob
contenido:
Bless the Lord your God at all times, and ask of him that your ways may be made straight, and that all your paths and counsels may prosper; for every nation has no counsel; but the Lord himself gives all good things, and he humbles whom he will, as he will. And now, my child, remember my commandments, and let them not be blotted out of your mind.


book: Tob
contenido:
And now I explain to you about the ten talents of silver, which I left in trust with Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages of Media.


book: Tob
contenido:
And fear not, my child, because we are made poor. You have much wealth, if you fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is pleasing in his sight.”


book: Tob
contenido:
Then Tobias answered and said to him, “Father, I will do all things, whatever you have commanded me.


book: Tob
contenido:
He gave him the handwriting, and said to him, “Seek a man who will go with you, and I will give him wages, whiles I yet live; and go and receive the money.”


book: Tob
contenido:
and he didn’t know it. He said to him, “Can I go with you to Rages of Media? Do you know those places well?”


book: Tob
contenido:
The angel said to him, “I will go with you. I know the way well. I have lodged with our brother Gabael.”


book: Tob
contenido:
He said to him, “Go, and don’t wait. And he went in and said to his father, “Behold, I have found someone who will go with me.”
But he said, “Call him to me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a trustworthy man to go with you.”


book: Tob
contenido:
He said to him, “Do you seek a tribe and a family, or a hired man which will go with your son?”
And Tobit said to him, “I want to know, brother, your kindred and your name.”


book: Tob
contenido:
And he said to him, “Welcome, brother. Don’t be angry with me, because I sought to know your tribe and family. You are my brother, of an honest and good lineage; for I knew Ananias and Jathan, the sons of Shemaiah the great, when we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of our increase; and they didn’t go astray in the error of our kindred. My brother, you are of a great stock.


book: Tob
contenido:
But tell me, what wages shall I give you? A drachma a day, and those things that be necessary for you, as to my son?


book: Tob
contenido:
And so they agreed. And he said to Tobias, “Prepare yourself for the journey. May God prosper you.” So his son prepared what was needful for the journey, and his father said to him, “Go with this man; but God, who dwells in heaven, will prosper your journey. May his angel go with you.”
Then they both departed, and the young man’s dog went with them.
