book: Ezra
contenido:
this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the LORD his God’s hand on him.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Some of the children of Israel, including some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.


book: Ezra
contenido:
For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God on him.


book: Ezra
contenido:
For Ezra had set his heart to seek the LORD’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the LORD’s commandments, and of his statutes to Israel:


book: Ezra
contenido:
Artaxerxes, king of kings,
To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven.
Now


book: Ezra
contenido:
I make a decree, that all those of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, who intend of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Because you are sent by the king and his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand,


book: Ezra
contenido:
and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,


book: Ezra
contenido:
and all the silver and gold that you will find in all the province of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem;


book: Ezra
contenido:
therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that according to the will of your God.


book: Ezra
contenido:
The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, give it out of the king’s treasure house.


book: Ezra
contenido:
I, even I Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence,


book: Ezra
contenido:
up to one hundred talents  of silver, and to one hundred cors  of wheat, and to one hundred baths  of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?


book: Ezra
contenido:
Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll, on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or labourers of this house of God.


book: Ezra
contenido:
You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn’t know them.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgement be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem;


book: Ezra
contenido:
and has extended loving kindness to me before the king and his counsellors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. I was strengthened according to the LORD my God’s hand on me, and I gathered together chief men out of Israel to go up with me.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Now these are the heads of their fathers’ households, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king:


book: Ezra
contenido:
Of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were listed by genealogy of the males one hundred and fifty.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Of the sons of Adonikam, who were the last; and these are their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.


book: Ezra
contenido:
I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days: and I looked around at the people and the priests, and found there were none of the sons of Levi.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, for Elnathan, for Jarib, for Elnathan, for Nathan, for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib and for Elnathan, who were teachers.


book: Ezra
contenido:
I sent them out to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should tell Iddo, and his brothers the temple servants, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.


book: Ezra
contenido:
According to the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;


book: Ezra
contenido:
and of the temple servants, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty temple servants. All of them were mentioned by name.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our possessions.


book: Ezra
contenido:
For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”


book: Ezra
contenido:
Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,


book: Ezra
contenido:
and weighed to them the silver, the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, his counsellors, his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered.


book: Ezra
contenido:
I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver,  one hundred talents of silver vessels; one hundred talents of gold,


book: Ezra
contenido:
twenty bowls of gold weighing one thousand darics;  and two vessels of fine bright bronze, precious as gold.


book: Ezra
contenido:
I said to them, “You are holy to the LORD, and the vessels are holy. The silver and the gold are a free will offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Watch and keep them, until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers’ households of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the rooms of the LORD’s house.”


book: Ezra
contenido:
So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the bandit by the way.


book: Ezra
contenido:
On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levite;


book: Ezra
contenido:
The children of the captivity, who had come out of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats for a sin offering. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.


book: Ezra
contenido:
They delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s local governors, and to the governors beyond the River. So they supported the people and God’s house.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Now when these things were done, the princes came near to me, saying, “The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, following their abominations, even those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.


book: Ezra
contenido:
For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy offspring have mixed themselves with the peoples of the lands. Yes, the hand of the princes and rulers has been chief in this trespass.”


book: Ezra
contenido:
When I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and pulled the hair out of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel were assembled to me, because of their trespass of the captivity; and I sat confounded until the evening offering.


book: Ezra
contenido:
At the evening offering I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn; and I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to the LORD my God;


book: Ezra
contenido:
and I said, “My God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God; for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Since the days of our fathers we have been exceedingly guilty to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Now for a little moment grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and revived us a little in our bondage.


book: Ezra
contenido:
For we are bondservants; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to set up the house of our God, and to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.


book: Ezra
contenido:
which you have commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, ‘The land, to which you go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Now therefore don’t give your daughters to their sons. Don’t take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever; that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.’


book: Ezra
contenido:
“After all that has come on us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, since you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant,


book: Ezra
contenido:
shall we again break your commandments, and join ourselves with the peoples that do these abominations? Wouldn’t you be angry with us until you had consumed us, so that there would be no remnant, nor any to escape?


book: Ezra
contenido:
LORD, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold,  we are before you in our guiltiness; for no one can stand before you because of this.”


book: Ezra
contenido:
Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Now therefore let’s make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and those who are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Then Ezra rose up from before God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. When he came there, he ate no bread, nor drank water; for he mourned because of their trespass of the captivity.


book: Ezra
contenido:
They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;


book: Ezra
contenido:
and that whoever didn’t come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited, and himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the wide place in front of God’s house, trembling because of this matter, and because of the great rain.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Now therefore make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.”


book: Ezra
contenido:
But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside. This is not a work of one day or two, for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Now let our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”


book: Ezra
contenido:
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.


book: Ezra
contenido:
The children of the captivity did so. Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Amongst the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women:
of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.


book: Ezra
contenido:
They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.


book: Ezra
contenido:
Of the Levites: Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah (also called Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.


book: Ezra

book: Neh
contenido:
The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah.
Now in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the palace,


book: Neh
contenido:
Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them about the Jews who had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.


book: Neh
contenido:
They said to me, “The remnant who are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burnt with fire.”


book: Neh
contenido:
When I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and mourned several days; and I fasted and prayed before the God  of heaven,


book: Neh
contenido:
and said, “I beg you, LORD,  the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments:


book: Neh
contenido:
Let your ear now be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Yes, I and my father’s house have sinned.


book: Neh
contenido:
We have dealt very corruptly against you, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which you commanded your servant Moses.


book: Neh
contenido:
“Remember, I beg you, the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you trespass, I will scatter you amongst the peoples;


book: Neh
contenido:
but if you return to me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there.’


book: Neh
contenido:
“Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power, and by your strong hand.


book: Neh
contenido:
Lord,  I beg you, let your ear be attentive now to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who delight to fear your name; and please prosper your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.”
Now I was cup bearer to the king.


book: Neh
contenido:
In the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, I picked up the wine, and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad before in his presence.


book: Neh
contenido:
The king said to me, “Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing else but sorrow of heart.”
Then I was very much afraid.


book: Neh
contenido:
I said to the king, “Let the king live forever! Why shouldn’t my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?”


book: Neh
contenido:
I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favour in your sight, that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may build it.”


book: Neh
contenido:
The king said to me (the queen was also sitting by him), “How long will your journey be? When will you return?”
So it pleased the king to send me, and I set a time for him.


book: Neh
contenido:
Moreover I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah;


book: Neh
contenido:
and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel by the temple, for the wall of the city, and for the house that I will occupy.”
The king granted my requests, because of the good hand of my God on me.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I came to the governors beyond the River, and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.


book: Neh
contenido:
When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, because a man had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.


book: Neh
contenido:
I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. I didn’t tell anyone what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There wasn’t any animal with me, except the animal that I rode on.


book: Neh
contenido:
I went out by night by the valley gate, even towards the jackal’s well, then to the dung gate, and inspected the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and its gates were consumed with fire.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I went on to the spring gate and to the king’s pool, but there was no place for the animal that was under me to pass.


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


book: Neh
contenido:
The rulers didn’t know where I went, or what I did. I had not as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest who did the work.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I said to them, “You see the bad situation that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burnt with fire. Come, let’s build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we won’t be disgraced.”


book: Neh
contenido:
I told them of the hand of my God which was good on me, as also of the king’s words that he had spoken to me.
They said, “Let’s rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work.


book: Neh
contenido:
But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite servant, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they ridiculed us, and despised us, and said, “What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?”


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I answered them, and said to them, “The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.”


book: Neh
contenido:
Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests, and they built the sheep gate. They sanctified it, and set up its doors. They sanctified it even to the tower of Hammeah, to the tower of Hananel.

book: Neh

But when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and was very indignant, and mocked the Jews.


book: Neh
contenido:
He spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, since they are burnt?”


book: Neh
contenido:
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, “What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he would break down their stone wall.”


book: Neh
contenido:
“Hear, our God; for we are despised. Turn back their reproach on their own head. Give them up for a plunder in a land of captivity.


book: Neh
contenido:
Don’t cover their iniquity. Don’t let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have insulted the builders.”


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


book: Neh
contenido:
But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be filled, they were very angry;


book: Neh
contenido:
and they all conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion amongst us.


book: Neh
contenido:
Judah said, “The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading, and there is much rubble; so that we are not able to build the wall.”


book: Neh
contenido:
Our adversaries said, “They will not know or see, until we come in amongst them and kill them, and cause the work to cease.”


book: Neh
contenido:
When the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.”


book: Neh
contenido:
Therefore I set guards in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places. I set the people by family groups with their swords, their spears, and their bows.


book: Neh
contenido:
I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them! Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”


book: Neh
contenido:
When our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nothing, all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work.


book: Neh
contenido:
From that time forth, half of my servants did the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.


book: Neh
contenido:
Those who built the wall, and those who bore burdens loaded themselves; everyone with one of his hands did the work, and with the other held his weapon.


book: Neh
contenido:
Amongst the builders, everyone wore his sword at his side, and so built. He who sounded the trumpet was by me.


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


book: Neh
contenido:
So we did the work. Half of the people held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.

Likewise at the same time I said to the people, “Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labour in the day.”


book: Neh

So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes. Everyone took his weapon to the water.


book: Neh

For there were some who said, “We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain, that we may eat and live.”


book: Neh
contenido:
There were also some who said, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses. Let us get grain, because of the famine.”


book: Neh
contenido:
There were also some who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute using our fields and our vineyards as collateral.


book: Neh
contenido:
Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children as their children. Behold,  we bring our sons and our daughters into bondage to be servants, and some of our daughters have been brought into bondage. It is also not in our power to help it, because other men have our fields and our vineyards.”


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, “You exact usury, everyone of his brother.” I held a great assembly against them.


book: Neh
contenido:
I said to them, “We, after our ability, have redeemed our brothers the Jews that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us?” Then they held their peace, and found not a word to say.


book: Neh
contenido:
Also I said, “The thing that you do is not good. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies?


book: Neh
contenido:
Please restore to them, even today, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you are charging them.”


book: Neh

Then they said, “We will restore them, and will require nothing of them. We will do so, even as you say.”
Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.


book: Neh
contenido:
Also I shook out my lap, and said, “So may God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that doesn’t perform this promise; even may he be shaken out and emptied like this.”
All the assembly said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD. The people did according to this promise.

Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brothers have not eaten the bread of the governor.


book: Neh
contenido:
But the former governors who were before me were supported by the people, and took bread and wine from them, plus forty shekels  of silver; yes, even their servants ruled over the people; but I didn’t do so, because of the fear of God.


book: Neh
contenido:
Yes, I also continued in the work of this wall. We didn’t buy any land. All my servants were gathered there to the work.


book: Neh
contenido:
Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, one hundred and fifty men, in addition to those who came to us from amongst the nations that were around us.


book: Neh
contenido:
Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days a store of all sorts of wine. Yet for all this, I didn’t demand the governor’s pay, because the bondage was heavy on this people.


book: Neh
contenido:
Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates)


book: Neh
contenido:
Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come! Let’s meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to harm me.


book: Neh
contenido:
I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I can’t come down. Why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down to you?”


book: Neh
contenido:
in which was written, “It is reported amongst the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel. Because of that, you are building the wall. You would be their king, according to these words.


book: Neh
contenido:
You have also appointed prophets to proclaim of you at Jerusalem, saying, ‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let’s take counsel together.”


book: Neh

Then I sent to him, saying, “There are no such things done as you say, but you imagine them out of your own heart.”


book: Neh

I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’s house, within the temple, and let’s shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you. Yes, in the night they will come to kill you.”


book: Neh
contenido:
I said, “Should a man like me flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”


book: Neh
contenido:
I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.


book: Neh
contenido:
He hired so that I would be afraid, do so, and sin, and that they might have material for an evil report, that they might reproach me.


book: Neh
contenido:
“Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.”


book: Neh
contenido:
When all our enemies heard of it, all the nations that were around us were afraid, and they lost their confidence; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.


book: Neh
contenido:
Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came to them.


book: Neh
contenido:
For there were many in Judah sworn to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah as wife.


book: Neh
contenido:
Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.


book: Neh
contenido:
Now when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,


book: Neh
contenido:
I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.


book: Neh
contenido:
I said to them, “Don’t let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his house.”


book: Neh
contenido:
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written in it:


book: Neh

Yes, when they had made themselves a moulded calf, and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ and had committed awful blasphemies;

At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with giving thanks, and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps.


book: Neh

The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites;


book: Neh
contenido:
also from Beth Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built themselves villages around Jerusalem.


book: Neh

The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.


book: Neh

Then I brought up the princes of Judah on the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession. One went on the right hand on the wall towards the dung gate;


book: Neh

and some of the priests’ sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph;


book: Neh

and his brothers, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them.


book: Neh

By the spring gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of David’s city, at the ascent of the wall, above David’s house, even to the water gate eastward.


book: Neh

The other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, on the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even to the wide wall,


book: Neh
contenido:
and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard.


book: Neh

So the two companies of those who gave thanks in God’s house stood, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;


book: Neh

and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;


book: Neh

and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.


book: Neh

They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women and the children also rejoiced; so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even far away.


book: Neh
contenido:
On that day, men were appointed over the rooms for the treasures, for the wave offerings, for the first fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites who waited.


book: Neh

They performed the duty of their God, and the duty of the purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.


book: Neh

For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.


book: Neh

All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, as every day required; and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.


book: Neh
contenido:
On that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and it was found written in it that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God forever,


book: Neh

because they didn’t meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them; however our God turned the curse into a blessing.

Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah,


book: Neh
contenido:
had prepared for him a great room, where before they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the wave offerings for the priests.


book: Neh

But in all this, I was not at Jerusalem; for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king; and after some days I asked leave of the king,


book: Neh
contenido:
and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of God’s house.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms. I brought into them the vessels of God’s house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense again.


book: Neh
contenido:
I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had each fled to his field.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I contended with the rulers, and said, “Why is God’s house forsaken?” I gathered them together, and set them in their place.


book: Neh
contenido:
I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute to their brothers.


book: Neh

Remember me, my God, concerning this, and don’t wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances.


book: Neh

In those days I saw some men treading wine presses on the Sabbath in Judah, bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys; also with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; and I testified against them in the day in which they sold food.


book: Neh
contenido:
Some men of Tyre also lived there, who brought in fish and all kinds of wares, and sold on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, “What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the Sabbath day?


book: Neh
contenido:
Didn’t your fathers do this, and didn’t our God bring all this evil on us, and on this city? Yet you bring more wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.”


book: Neh
contenido:
It came to pass that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath. I set some of my servants over the gates, so that no burden should be brought in on the Sabbath day.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I testified against them, and said to them, “Why do you stay around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you.” From that time on, they didn’t come on the Sabbath.


book: Neh
contenido:
I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember to me, my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of your loving kindness.


book: Neh

and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people.


book: Neh

I contended with them, and cursed them, and struck certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.


book: Neh

Didn’t Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet amongst many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin.


book: Neh

Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?”


book: Neh

One of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I chased him from me.


book: Neh

Remember them, my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.


book: Neh

Thus I cleansed them from all foreigners, and appointed duties for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work;


book: Neh

and for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good.

Now in the days of Ahasuerus (this is Ahasuerus who reigned from India even to Ethiopia, over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces),


book: Esth
contenido:
in those days, when the King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Susa the palace,


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


book: Esth
contenido:
He displayed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even one hundred and eighty days.


book: Esth
contenido:
When these days were fulfilled, the king made a seven day feast for all the people who were present in Susa the palace, both great and small, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace.


book: Esth
contenido:
There were hangings of white and blue material, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and marble pillars. The couches were of gold and silver, on a pavement of red, white, yellow, and black marble.


book: Esth
contenido:
They gave them drinks in golden vessels of various kinds, including royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had instructed all the officials of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.


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


book: Esth
contenido:
On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcass, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,


book: Esth
contenido:
to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the royal crown, to show the people and the princes her beauty; for she was beautiful.


book: Esth
contenido:
But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by the eunuchs. Therefore the king was very angry, and his anger burnt in him.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times (for it was the king’s custom to consult those who knew law and judgement;


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


book: Esth
contenido:
“What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to law, because she has not done the bidding of the King Ahasuerus by the eunuchs?”


book: Esth
contenido:
Memucan answered before the king and the princes, “Vashti the queen has not done wrong to just the king, but also to all the princes, and to all the people who are in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus.


book: Esth
contenido:
For this deed of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to show contempt for their husbands, when it is reported, ‘King Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she didn’t come.’


book: Esth
contenido:
Today, the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen’s deed will tell all the king’s princes. This will cause much contempt and wrath.


book: Esth
contenido:
“If it pleases the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written amongst the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it cannot be altered, that Vashti may never again come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another who is better than she.


book: Esth
contenido:
When the king’s decree which he shall make is published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give their husbands honour, both great and small.”


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


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


book: Esth
contenido:
Let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the beautiful young virgins to the citadel of Susa, to the women’s house, to the custody of Hegai the king’s eunuch, keeper of the women. Let cosmetics be given them;


book: Esth
contenido:
and let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti.” The thing pleased the king, and he did so.


book: Esth
contenido:
There was a certain Jew in the citadel of Susa, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,


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


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


book: Esth
contenido:
So, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to the citadel of Susa, to the custody of Hegai, Esther was taken into the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.


book: Esth
contenido:
The maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him. He quickly gave her cosmetics and her portions of food, and the seven choice maidens who were to be given her out of the king’s house. He moved her and her maidens to the best place in the women’s house.


book: Esth
contenido:
Esther had not made known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make it known.


book: Esth
contenido:
Mordecai walked every day in front of the court of the women’s house, to find out how Esther was doing, and what would become of her.


book: Esth
contenido:
Each young woman’s turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after her purification for twelve months (for so were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances and with preparations for beautifying women).


book: Esth
contenido:
The young woman then came to the king like this: whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the women’s house to the king’s house.


book: Esth
contenido:
In the evening she went, and on the next day she returned into the second women’s house, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch, who kept the concubines. She came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.


book: Esth
contenido:
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favour in the sight of all those who looked at her.


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


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


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king made a great feast for all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces, and gave gifts according to the king’s bounty.


book: Esth
contenido:
Esther had not yet made known her relatives nor her people, as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther obeyed Mordecai, like she did when she was brought up by him.


book: Esth
contenido:
In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the king’s eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, who were doorkeepers, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.


book: Esth
contenido:
This thing became known to Mordecai, who informed Esther the queen; and Esther informed the king in Mordecai’s name.


book: Esth
contenido:
When this matter was investigated, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the king’s presence.


book: Esth
contenido:
After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.


book: Esth
contenido:
All the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate bowed down, and paid homage to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai didn’t bow down or pay him homage.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king’s servants, who were in the king’s gate, said to Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king’s commandment?”


book: Esth
contenido:
Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he didn’t listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.


book: Esth
contenido:
But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai’s people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even Mordecai’s people.


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


book: Esth
contenido:
Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed amongst the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different from other people’s. They don’t keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not for the king’s profit to allow them to remain.


book: Esth
contenido:
If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents  of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king’s business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.”


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


book: Esth
contenido:
The king said to Haman, “The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.”


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king’s scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king’s local governors, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus, and it was sealed with the king’s ring.


book: Esth
contenido:
Letters were sent by couriers into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their possessions.


book: Esth
contenido:
A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.


book: Esth
contenido:
The couriers went out in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was perplexed.


book: Esth
contenido:
Now when Mordecai found out all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the middle of the city, and wailed loudly and bitterly.


book: Esth
contenido:
He came even before the king’s gate, for no one is allowed inside the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.


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


book: Esth
contenido:
Esther’s maidens and her eunuchs came and told her this, and the queen was exceedingly grieved. She sent clothing to Mordecai, to replace his sackcloth; but he didn’t receive it.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs, whom he had appointed to attend her, and commanded him to go to Mordecai, to find out what this was, and why it was.


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


book: Esth
contenido:
He also gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Susa to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to declare it to her, and to urge her to go in to the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him, for her people.


book: Esth
contenido:
“All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, know, that whoever, whether man or woman, comes to the king into the inner court without being called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king might hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live. I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.”


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Mordecai asked them to return this answer to Esther: “Don’t think to yourself that you will escape in the king’s house any more than all the Jews.


book: Esth
contenido:
For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Who knows if you haven’t come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”


book: Esth
contenido:
“Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Susa, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.”


book: Esth
contenido:
Now on the third day, Esther put on her royal clothing, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, next to the king’s house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance of the house.


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


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king asked her, “What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.”


book: Esth
contenido:
Esther said, “If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.


book: Esth
contenido:
The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”


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


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he didn’t stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.


book: Esth
contenido:
Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.


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


book: Esth
contenido:
Haman also said, “Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together with the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made fifty cubits  high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet.” This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.


book: Esth
contenido:
On that night, the king couldn’t sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.


book: Esth
contenido:
The king said, “What honour and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?”
Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”


book: Esth
contenido:
The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.


book: Esth
contenido:
The king’s servants said to him, “Behold,  Haman stands in the court.”
The king said, “Let him come in.”


book: Esth
contenido:
So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour?”
Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honour more than myself?”


book: Esth
contenido:
let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a royal crown is set.


book: Esth
contenido:
Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honour with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!’”


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.”


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!”


book: Esth
contenido:
Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.


book: Esth
contenido:
Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him.”


book: Esth
contenido:
While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.


book: Esth
contenido:
The king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition, queen Esther? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”


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


book: Esth
contenido:
For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for male and female slaves, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s loss.”


book: Esth
contenido:
Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, “Who is he, and where is he who dared presume in his heart to do so?”


book: Esth
contenido:
Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman!”
Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.


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


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in front of me in the house?” As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king said, “Behold, the gallows fifty cubits  high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman’s house.”
The king said, “Hang him on it!”


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

On that day, King Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the Jews’ enemy, to Esther the queen. Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.


book: Esth
contenido:
The king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.


book: Esth
contenido:
Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and begged him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his plan that he had planned against the Jews.


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


book: Esth
contenido:
For how can I endure to see the evil that would come to my people? How can I endure to see the destruction of my relatives?”


book: Esth
contenido:
Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, “See, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows, because he laid his hand on the Jews.


book: Esth
contenido:
Write also to the Jews, as it pleases you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring; for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may not be reversed by any man.”


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king’s scribes were called at that time, in the third month, which is the month Sivan, on the twenty-third day of the month; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the local governors, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing, and in their language.


book: Esth
contenido:
He wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by courier on horseback, riding on royal horses that were bred from swift steeds.


book: Esth
contenido:
In those letters, the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to defend their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to plunder their possessions,


book: Esth
contenido:
on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.


book: Esth
contenido:
A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that the Jews should be ready for that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.


book: Esth
contenido:
So the couriers who rode on royal horses went out, hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. The decree was given out in the citadel of Susa.


book: Esth
contenido:
Mordecai went out of the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and was glad.


book: Esth
contenido:
In every province, and in every city, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness, joy, a feast, and a good day. Many from amongst the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen on them.


book: Esth
contenido:
Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king’s commandment and his decree came near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it was turned out the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),


book: Esth
contenido:
the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who wanted to harm them. No one could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen on all the people.


book: Esth
contenido:
All the princes of the provinces, the local governors, the governors, and those who did the king’s business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.


book: Esth
contenido:
For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai grew greater and greater.


book: Esth
contenido:
The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they wanted to those who hated them.


book: Esth
contenido:
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.


book: Esth
contenido:
The king said to Esther the queen, “The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your further request? It shall be done.”


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do tomorrow also according to today’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”


book: Esth
contenido:
The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Susa; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.


book: Esth
contenido:
The Jews who were in Susa gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Susa; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.


book: Esth
contenido:
The other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, defended their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.


book: Esth
contenido:
This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of that month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.


book: Esth
contenido:
But the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth days of the month; and on the fifteenth day of that month, they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.


book: Esth
contenido:
Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, a good day, and a day of sending presents of food to one another.


book: Esth
contenido:
Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both near and far,


book: Esth
contenido:
as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.


book: Esth
contenido:
because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast “Pur”, that is the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;


book: Esth
contenido:
but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plan, which he had planned against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.


book: Esth
contenido:
Therefore they called these days “Purim”,  from the word “Pur.” Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come to them,


book: Esth
contenido:
the Jews established and imposed on themselves, and on their descendants, and on all those who joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail that they would keep these two days according to what was written, and according to its appointed time, every year;


book: Esth
contenido:
and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from amongst the Jews, nor their memory perish from their offspring,


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.


book: Esth
contenido:
He sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,


book: Esth
contenido:
to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had decreed, and as they had imposed upon themselves and their descendants, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.


book: Esth
contenido:
All the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?


book: Esth
contenido:
For Mordecai the Jew was next to King Ahasuerus, and great amongst the Jews, and accepted by the multitude of his brothers, seeking the good of his people, and speaking peace to all his descendants.


book: Job
contenido:
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God,  and turned away from evil.


book: Job
contenido:
His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.


book: Job
contenido:
His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.


book: Job
contenido:
It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually.


book: Job
contenido:
Now on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD,  Satan also came amongst them.


book: Job
contenido:
The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”


book: Job
contenido:
The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”


book: Job
contenido:
Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.


book: Job
contenido:
The LORD said to Satan, “Behold,  all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t stretch out your hand.”
So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.


book: Job
contenido:
It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,


book: Job
contenido:
that there came a messenger to Job, and said, “The oxen were ploughing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,


book: Job
contenido:
and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”


book: Job
contenido:
While he was still speaking, there also came another, and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burnt up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”


book: Job
contenido:
While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”


book: Job
contenido:
While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,


book: Job
contenido:
and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”


book: Job
contenido:
Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped.


book: Job
contenido:
He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the LORD’s name.”


book: Job
contenido:
Again, on the day when the God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan came also amongst them to present himself before the LORD.


book: Job
contenido:
The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”


book: Job
contenido:
The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”


book: Job
contenido:
Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.


book: Job
contenido:
But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”


book: Job
contenido:
So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.


book: Job
contenido:
But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?”
In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips.


book: Job
contenido:
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathise with him and to comfort him.


book: Job
contenido:
When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognise him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads towards the sky.


book: Job
contenido:
So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.


book: Job
contenido:
Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own.
Let a cloud dwell on it.
Let all that makes black the day terrify it.


book: Job
contenido:
As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it.
Let it not rejoice amongst the days of the year.
Let it not come into the number of the months.


book: Job
contenido:
Let the stars of its twilight be dark.
Let it look for light, but have none,
neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,


book: Job
contenido:
For now should I have lain down and been quiet.
I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,


book: Job
contenido:
“If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved?
But who can withhold himself from speaking?


book: Job
contenido:
The roaring of the lion,
and the voice of the fierce lion,
the teeth of the young lions, are broken.


book: Job
contenido:
It stood still, but I couldn’t discern its appearance.
A form was before my eyes.
Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,


book: Job
contenido:
How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay,
whose foundation is in the dust,
who are crushed before the moth!


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


book: Job
contenido:
whose harvest the hungry eats up,
and take it even out of the thorns.
The snare gapes for their substance.


book: Job
contenido:
“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects.
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.


book: Job
contenido:
You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
neither will you be afraid of destruction when it comes.


book: Job
contenido:
For you will be allied with the stones of the field.
The animals of the field will be at peace with you.


book: Job
contenido:
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me.
My spirit drinks up their poison.
The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.


book: Job
contenido:
Let still be my consolation,
yes, let me exult in pain that doesn’t spare,
that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.


book: Job
contenido:
“To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend;
even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.


book: Job
contenido:
When I lie down, I say,
‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’
I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.


book: Job
contenido:
“Therefore I will not keep silent.
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit.
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.


book: Job
contenido:
If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men?
Why have you set me as a mark for you,
so that I am a burden to myself?


book: Job
contenido:
Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity?
For now will I lie down in the dust.
You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”


book: Job
contenido:
If your children have sinned against him,
he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.


book: Job
contenido:
If you were pure and upright,
surely now he would awaken for you,
and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.


book: Job
contenido:
God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength:
who has hardened himself against him and prospered?


book: Job
contenido:
If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty!
If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’


book: Job
contenido:
Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me.
Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.


book: Job
contenido:
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked.
He covers the faces of its judges.
If not he, then who is it?


book: Job
contenido:
“My soul is weary of my life.
I will give free course to my complaint.
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.


book: Job
contenido:
Is it good to you that you should oppress,
that you should despise the work of your hands,
and smile on the counsel of the wicked?


book: Job
contenido:
If I am wicked, woe to me.
If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head,
being filled with disgrace,
and conscious of my affliction.


book: Job
contenido:
You renew your witnesses against me,
and increase your indignation on me.
Changes and warfare are with me.


book: Job
contenido:
“‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb?
I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.


book: Job
contenido:
the land dark as midnight,
of the shadow of death,
without any order,
where the light is as midnight.’”


book: Job
contenido:
that he would show you the secrets of wisdom!
For true wisdom has two sides.
Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.


book: Job
contenido:
But the eyes of the wicked will fail.
They will have no way to flee.
Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”


book: Job
contenido:
But I have understanding as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
Yes, who doesn’t know such things as these?


book: Job
contenido:
I am like one who is a joke to his neighbour,
I, who called on God, and he answered.
The just, the blameless man is a joke.


book: Job
contenido:
In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune.
It is ready for them whose foot slips.


book: Job
contenido:
Behold, he breaks down, and it can’t be built again.
He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.


book: Job
contenido:
Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up.
Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.


book: Job
contenido:
He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth,
and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.


book: Job
contenido:
Seeing his days are determined,
the number of his months is with you,
and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass;


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


book: Job
contenido:
so man lies down and doesn’t rise.
Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake,
nor be roused out of their sleep.


book: Job
contenido:
“Oh that you would hide me in Sheol,
that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past,
that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!


book: Job
contenido:
If a man dies, will he live again?
I would wait all the days of my warfare,
until my release should come.


book: Job
contenido:
The waters wear the stones.
The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth.
So you destroy the hope of man.


book: Job
contenido:
His sons come to honour, and he doesn’t know it.
They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.


book: Job
contenido:
What is man, that he should be clean?
What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?


book: Job
contenido:
the wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.


book: Job
contenido:
He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’
He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.


book: Job
contenido:
Because he has stretched out his hand against God,
and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,


book: Job
contenido:
He has lived in desolate cities,
in houses which no one inhabited,
which were ready to become heaps.


book: Job
contenido:
He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue,
neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.


book: Job
contenido:
He will not depart out of darkness.
The flame will dry up his branches.
He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.


book: Job
contenido:
I also could speak as you do.
If your soul were in my soul’s place,
I could join words together against you,
and shake my head at you,


book: Job
contenido:
You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me.
My leanness rises up against me.
It testifies to my face.


book: Job
contenido:
He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me.
He has gnashed on me with his teeth.
My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.


book: Job
contenido:
They have gaped on me with their mouth.
They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully.
They gather themselves together against me.


book: Job
contenido:
I was at ease, and he broke me apart.
Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces.
He has also set me up for his target.


book: Job
contenido:
His archers surround me.
He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare.
He pours out my bile on the ground.


book: Job
contenido:
You who tear yourself in your anger,
will the earth be forsaken for you?
Or will the rock be removed out of its place?


book: Job
contenido:
There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his.
Sulphur will be scattered on his habitation.


book: Job
contenido:
whom I, even I, will see on my side.
My eyes will see, and not as a stranger.
“My heart is consumed within me.


book: Job
contenido:
be afraid of the sword,
for wrath brings the punishments of the sword,
that you may know there is a judgement.”


book: Job
contenido:
He will fly away as a dream, and will not be found.
Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.


book: Job
contenido:
He will restore that for which he laboured, and will not swallow it down.
He will not rejoice according to the substance that he has gotten.


book: Job
contenido:
For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor.
He has violently taken away a house, and he will not build it up.


book: Job
contenido:
In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him.
The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.


book: Job
contenido:
When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him.
It will rain on him while he is eating.


book: Job
contenido:
He draws it out, and it comes out of his body.
Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver.
Terrors are on him.


book: Job
contenido:
All darkness is laid up for his treasures.
An unfanned fire will devour him.
It will consume that which is left in his tent.


book: Job
contenido:
“How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out,
that their calamity comes on them,
that God distributes sorrows in his anger?


book: Job
contenido:
You say, ‘God lays up his iniquity for his children.’
Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.


book: Job
contenido:
The clods of the valley will be sweet to him.
All men will draw after him,
as there were innumerable before him.


book: Job
contenido:
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous?
Or does it benefit him that you make your ways perfect?


book: Job
contenido:
If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up,
if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.


book: Job
contenido:
He will even deliver him who is not innocent.
Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”


book: Job
contenido:
I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips.
I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.


book: Job
contenido:
Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.


book: Job
contenido:
Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert,
they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food.
The wilderness yields them bread for their children.


book: Job
contenido:
From out of the populous city, men groan.
The soul of the wounded cries out,
yet God doesn’t regard the folly.


book: Job
contenido:
The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
He disguises his face.


book: Job
contenido:
In the dark they dig through houses.
They shut themselves up in the daytime.
They don’t know the light.


book: Job
contenido:
For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness,
for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.


book: Job
contenido:
“They are foam on the surface of the waters.
Their portion is cursed in the earth.
They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.


book: Job
contenido:
The womb will forget him.
The worm will feed sweetly on him.
He will be no more remembered.
Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.


book: Job
contenido:
They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone.
Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others,
and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.


book: Job
contenido:
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters,
and to the confines of light and darkness.


book: Job
contenido:
Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways.
How small a whisper do we hear of him!
But the thunder of his power who can understand?”


book: Job
contenido:
I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go.
My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.


book: Job
contenido:
“This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.


book: Job
contenido:
If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword.
His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.


book: Job
contenido:
Man sets an end to darkness,
and searches out, to the furthest bound,
the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.


book: Job
contenido:
He breaks open a shaft away from where people live.
They are forgotten by the foot.
They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.


book: Job
contenido:
To man he said,
‘Behold, the fear of the Lord,  that is wisdom.
To depart from evil is understanding.’”


book: Job
contenido:
the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me,
and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.


book: Job
contenido:
I chose out their way, and sat as chief.
I lived as a king in the army,
as one who comforts the mourners.


book: Job
contenido:
“But now those who are younger than I have me in derision,
whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.


book: Job
contenido:
They are gaunt from lack and famine.
They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.


book: Job
contenido:
On my right hand rise the rabble.
They thrust aside my feet,
They cast up against me their ways of destruction.


book: Job
contenido:
if my step has turned out of the way,
if my heart walked after my eyes,
if any defilement has stuck to my hands,


book: Job
contenido:
“If I have despised the cause of my male servant
or of my female servant,
when they contended with me,


book: Job
contenido:
this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;
for I should have denied the God who is above.


book: Job
contenido:
because I feared the great multitude,
and the contempt of families terrified me,
so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—


book: Job
contenido:
oh that I had one to hear me!
Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!
Let the accuser write my indictment!

Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.


book: Job

Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered,
“I am young, and you are very old;
Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion.


book: Job
contenido:
“Behold, I waited for your words,
and I listened for your reasoning,
while you searched out what to say.

an interpreter, one amongst a thousand,
to show to man what is right for him;

I have found a ransom.’


book: Job

He prays to God, and he is favourable to him,
so that he sees his face with joy.
He restores to man his righteousness.


book: Job

He sings before men, and says,
‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,
and it didn’t profit me.

Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar.
My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’

“Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding:
far be it from God, that he should do wickedness,
from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

He doesn’t respect the persons of princes,
nor respect the rich more than the poor;
for they all are the work of his hands.

The people are shaken and pass away.
The mighty are taken away without a hand.


book: Job

Therefore he takes knowledge of their works.
He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.


book: Job
contenido:
When he gives quietness, who then can condemn?
When he hides his face, who then can see him?
He is over a nation or a man alike,


book: Job
contenido:
Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it?
For you must choose, and not I.
Therefore speak what you know.


book: Job
contenido:
For he adds rebellion to his sin.
He claps his hands amongst us,
and multiplies his words against God.”


book: Job
contenido:
that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you?
What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’


book: Job
contenido:
If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him?
If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?


book: Job
contenido:
“By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out.
They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.


book: Job

but with kings on the throne,
he sets them forever, and they are exalted.


book: Job

If they listen and serve him,
they will spend their days in prosperity,
and their years in pleasures.


book: Job
contenido:
Yes, he would have allured you out of distress,
into a wide place, where there is no restriction.
That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.


book: Job

After it a voice roars.
He thunders with the voice of his majesty.
He doesn’t hold back anything when his voice is heard.


book: Job

For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’
likewise to the shower of rain,
and to the showers of his mighty rain.


book: Job
contenido:
It is turned around by his guidance,
that they may do whatever he commands them
on the surface of the habitable world,


book: Job

We can’t reach the Almighty.
He is exalted in power.
In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.


book: Job

Their young ones become strong.
They grow up in the open field.
They go out, and don’t return again.

neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet.


book: Job

As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, ‘Aha!’
He smells the battle afar off,
the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.


book: Job
contenido:
Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble.
He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.


book: Job

If one attacks him with the sword, it can’t prevail;
nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.


book: Job

You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’
therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand,
things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.


book: Job
contenido:
It was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.


book: Job
contenido:
Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”


book: Job

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what the LORD commanded them, and the LORD accepted Job.


book: Job
contenido:
The LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. The LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.


book: Job
contenido:
Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money,  and everyone a ring of gold.

He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.

book: Ps

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand on the path of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;


book: Ps

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that produces its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.


book: Ps

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgement,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.


book: Ps

The kings of the earth take a stand,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD, and against his Anointed,  saying,


book: Ps

Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,
the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.


book: Ps

Give sincere homage to the Son,  lest he be angry, and you perish on the way,

In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.


book: Ps
contenido:
But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house.
I will bow towards your holy temple in reverence of you.


book: Ps
contenido:
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth.
Their heart is destruction.
Their throat is an open tomb.
They flatter with their tongue.


book: Ps
contenido:
Hold them guilty, God.
Let them fall by their own counsels.
Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
for they have rebelled against you.


book: Ps

But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice.
Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them.
Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.


book: Ps

if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me
(yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),

From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,
because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.


book: Ps

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;


book: Ps

You have rebuked the nations.
You have destroyed the wicked.
You have blotted out their name forever and ever.


book: Ps

The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.


book: Ps

His ways are prosperous at all times.
He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight.
As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.


book: Ps

He lies in wait near the villages.
From ambushes, he murders the innocent.
His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.


book: Ps
contenido:
He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless.
He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.


book: Ps
contenido:
But you do see trouble and grief.
You consider it to take it into your hand.
You help the victim and the fatherless.


book: Ps
contenido:
LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble.
You will prepare their heart.
You will cause your ear to hear,

having sorrow in my heart every day?
How long shall my enemy triumph over me?


book: Ps

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt.
They have done abominable deeds.
There is no one who does good.


book: Ps
contenido:
The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men,
to see if there were any who understood,
who sought after God.

They have together become corrupt.

he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,
nor does evil to his friend,
nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury,
nor take a bribe against the innocent.

Show your marvellous loving kindness,
you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.


book: Ps

Your sons have plenty,
and they store up wealth for their children.


book: Ps
contenido:
As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness.
I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.


book: Ps
contenido:
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer;
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.


book: Ps
contenido:
In my distress I called on the LORD,
and cried to my God.
He heard my voice out of his temple.
My cry before him came into his ears.


book: Ps

Then the earth shook and trembled.
The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken,
because he was angry.

He gives great deliverance to his king,
and shows loving kindness to his anointed,
to David and to his offspring,  forever more.


book: Ps
contenido:
Their voice has gone out through all the earth,
their words to the end of the world.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.

I am poured out like water.
All my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax.

One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after:
that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life,
to see the LORD’s beauty,
and to enquire in his temple.

For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion.
In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me.

Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me.
I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent.
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

Don’t draw me away with the wicked,
with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbours,
but mischief is in their hearts.


book: Ps
contenido:
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings.
Give them according to the operation of their hands.
Bring back on them what they deserve.

Because they don’t respect the works of the LORD,
nor the operation of his hands,
he will break them down and not build them up.

my years with sighing.
My strength fails because of my iniquity.
My bones are wasted away.


book: Ps
contenido:
Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbours,
a horror to my acquaintances.
Those who saw me on the street fled from me.


book: Ps

For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side,
while they conspire together against me,
they plot to take away my life.

Let the wicked be disappointed.
Let them be silent in Sheol.

The LORD preserves the faithful,
and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.

I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.Selah.


book: Ps

For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found.
Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.


book: Ps
contenido:
You are my hiding place.

Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.

in the days of old.


book: Ps
contenido:
You drove out the nations with your hand,
but you planted them.
You afflicted the peoples,
but you spread them abroad.

Through you, will we push down our adversaries.
Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.

book: Eccl

That which has been is that which shall be; and that which has been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.


book: Eccl

Is there a thing of which it may be said, “Behold,  this is new?” It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.


book: Eccl

There is no memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come, amongst those that shall come after.


book: Eccl

I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the sky. It is a heavy burden that God  has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.


book: Eccl

I said to myself, “Behold, I have obtained for myself great wisdom above all who were before me in Jerusalem. Yes, my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.”


book: Eccl

I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing after wind.


book: Eccl

I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth: therefore enjoy pleasure;” and behold, this also was vanity.


book: Eccl
contenido:
I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold of folly, until I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their lives.


book: Eccl

I bought male servants and female servants, and had servants born in my house. I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem.


book: Eccl
contenido:
I also gathered silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces. I got myself male and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men: musical instruments, and that of all sorts.


book: Eccl
contenido:
So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.


book: Eccl

Whatever my eyes desired, I didn’t keep from them. I didn’t withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labour, and this was my portion from all my labour.


book: Eccl

Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labour that I had laboured to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.


book: Eccl

I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly; for what can the king’s successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.


book: Eccl

book: Eccl

Then I said in my heart, “As it happens to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise?” Then I said in my heart that this also is vanity.


book: Eccl

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no memory forever, since in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die just like the fool!


book: Eccl

So I hated life, because the work that is worked under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.


book: Eccl
contenido:
I hated all my labour in which I laboured under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have rule over all of my labour in which I have laboured, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.


book: Eccl

Therefore I began to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labour in which I had laboured under the sun.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For there is a man whose labour is with wisdom, with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet he shall leave it for his portion to a man who has not laboured for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For what does a man have of all his labour and of the striving of his heart, in which he labours under the sun?


book: Eccl
contenido:
For all his days are sorrows, and his travail is grief; yes, even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.


book: Eccl
contenido:
There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.


book: Eccl
contenido:
a time to be born,

I said in my heart, “As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals; for all is vanity.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes downward to the earth?”


book: Eccl
contenido:
Therefore I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who can bring him to see what will be after him?


book: Eccl
contenido:
Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold, the tears of those who were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Yes, better than them both is him who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Then I saw all the labour and achievement that is the envy of a man’s neighbour. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.


book: Eccl
contenido:
There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labour, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. “For whom then, do I labour and deprive my soul of enjoyment?” This also is vanity. Yes, it is a miserable business.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up.


book: Eccl
contenido:
If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who doesn’t know how to receive admonition any more.


book: Eccl
contenido:
I saw all the living who walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the other, who succeeded him.


book: Eccl
contenido:
There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was—yet those who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.


book: Eccl
contenido:
When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Don’t allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don’t protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?


book: Eccl
contenido:
If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.


book: Eccl
contenido:
He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.


book: Eccl
contenido:
When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?


book: Eccl
contenido:
The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.


book: Eccl
contenido:
As he came out of his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.


book: Eccl
contenido:
This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labours for the wind?


book: Eccl
contenido:
Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labour, in which he labours under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour—this is the gift of God.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life; because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.


book: Eccl
contenido:
a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honour, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.


book: Eccl
contenido:
If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that a stillborn child is better than he:


book: Eccl
contenido:
Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don’t all go to one place?


book: Eccl
contenido:
For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living?


book: Eccl
contenido:
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?


book: Eccl
contenido:
It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; for that is the end of all men, and the living should take this to heart.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Better is the end of a thing than its beginning.
The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.


book: Eccl
contenido:
In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him.


book: Eccl
contenido:
All this I have seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evildoing.


book: Eccl
contenido:
It is good that you should take hold of this. Yes, also don’t withdraw your hand from that; for he who fears God will come out of them all.


book: Eccl
contenido:
I turned around, and my heart sought to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity, and that foolishness is madness.


book: Eccl
contenido:
I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.


book: Eccl
contenido:
which my soul still seeks, but I have not found. I have found one man amongst a thousand, but I have not found a woman amongst all those.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Don’t be hasty to go out of his presence. Don’t persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,


book: Eccl
contenido:
Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.


book: Eccl
contenido:
There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practise it.


book: Eccl
contenido:
All this I have seen, and applied my mind to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.


book: Eccl
contenido:
So I saw the wicked buried. Indeed they came also from holiness. They went and were forgotten in the city where they did this. This also is vanity.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Though a sinner commits crimes a hundred times, and lives long, yet surely I know that it will be better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.


book: Eccl
contenido:
But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he lengthen days like a shadow, because he doesn’t fear God.


book: Eccl
contenido:
There is a vanity which is done on the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked. Again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labour all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.


book: Eccl
contenido:
When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on the earth (even though eyes see no sleep day or night),


book: Eccl
contenido:
then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labours to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them.


book: Eccl
contenido:
All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.


book: Eccl
contenido:
This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yes also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither do they any longer have a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Go your way—eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity, for that is your portion in life, and in your labour in which you labour under the sun.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol,  where you are going.


book: Eccl
contenido:
I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For man also doesn’t know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.


book: Eccl
contenido:
There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odour;
so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honour.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Yes also when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.


book: Eccl
contenido:
If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offences to rest.


book: Eccl
contenido:
If the axe is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.


book: Eccl
contenido:
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.


book: Eccl
contenido:
A fool also multiplies words.
Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?


book: Eccl
contenido:
Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles,
and your princes eat in due season,
for strength, and not for drunkenness!


book: Eccl
contenido:
Don’t curse the king, no, not in your thoughts;
and don’t curse the rich in your bedroom:
for a bird of the sky may carry your voice,
and that which has wings may tell the matter.


book: Eccl
contenido:
If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth;
and if a tree falls towards the south, or towards the north,
in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.


book: Eccl
contenido:
As you don’t know what is the way of the wind,
nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child;
even so you don’t know the work of God who does all.


book: Eccl
contenido:
In the morning sow your seed,
and in the evening don’t withhold your hand;
for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that,
or whether they both will be equally good.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all;
but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many.
All that comes is vanity.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Rejoice, young man, in your youth,
and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth,
and walk in the ways of your heart,
and in the sight of your eyes;
but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgement.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
and put away evil from your flesh;
for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth,
before the evil days come, and the years draw near,
when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them;”


book: Eccl
contenido:
Before the sun, the light, the moon, and the stars are darkened,
and the clouds return after the rain;


book: Eccl
contenido:
in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble,
and the strong men shall bow themselves,
and the grinders cease because they are few,
and those who look out of the windows are darkened,


book: Eccl
contenido:
and the doors shall be shut in the street;
when the sound of the grinding is low,
and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird,
and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;


book: Eccl
contenido:
yes, they shall be afraid of heights,
and terrors will be on the way;
and the almond tree shall blossom,
and the grasshopper shall be a burden,
and desire shall fail;
because man goes to his everlasting home,
and the mourners go about the streets:


book: Eccl
contenido:
before the silver cord is severed,
or the golden bowl is broken,
or the pitcher is broken at the spring,
or the wheel broken at the cistern,


book: Eccl
contenido:
Further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, sought out, and set in order many proverbs.


book: Eccl
contenido:
The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written blamelessly, words of truth.


book: Eccl
contenido:
The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.


book: Eccl
contenido:
Furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.


book: Eccl
contenido:
This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.


book: Eccl
contenido:
For God will bring every work into judgement, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.


book: Song
contenido:
Take me away with you.
Let’s hurry.
The king has brought me into his rooms.
We will be glad and rejoice in you.
We will praise your love more than wine!
They are right to love you.


book: Song
contenido:
Don’t stare at me because I am dark,
because the sun has scorched me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me.
They made me keeper of the vineyards.
I haven’t kept my own vineyard.


book: Song
contenido:
Tell me, you whom my soul loves,
where you graze your flock,
where you rest them at noon;
for why should I be as one who is veiled
beside the flocks of your companions?


book: Song
contenido:
If you don’t know, most beautiful amongst women,
follow the tracks of the sheep.
Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.


book: Song
contenido:
As the apple tree amongst the trees of the wood,
so is my beloved amongst the sons.
I sat down under his shadow with great delight,
his fruit was sweet to my taste.


book: Song
contenido:
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,
by the roes, or by the hinds of the field,
that you not stir up, nor awaken love,
until it so desires.


book: Song
contenido:
My beloved is like a roe or a young deer.
Behold, he stands behind our wall!
He looks in at the windows.
He glances through the lattice.


book: Song
contenido:
The flowers appear on the earth.
The time of the singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.


book: Song
contenido:
The fig tree ripens her green figs.
The vines are in blossom.
They give out their fragrance.
Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away.”


book: Song
contenido:
My dove in the clefts of the rock,
in the hiding places of the mountainside,
let me see your face.
let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.


book: Song
contenido:
Catch for us the foxes,
the little foxes that plunder the vineyards;
for our vineyards are in blossom.


book: Song
contenido:
Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,
turn, my beloved,
and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.


book: Song
contenido:
I will get up now, and go about the city;
in the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves.
I sought him, but I didn’t find him.


book: Song
contenido:
I had scarcely passed from them,
when I found him whom my soul loves.
I held him, and would not let him go,
until I had brought him into my mother’s house,
into the room of her who conceived me.


book: Song
contenido:
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,
by the roes, or by the hinds of the field,
that you not stir up nor awaken love,
until it so desires.


book: Song
contenido:
Who is this who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all spices of the merchant?


book: Song
contenido:
They all handle the sword, and are expert in war.
Every man has his sword on his thigh,
because of fear in the night.


book: Song
contenido:
He made its pillars of silver,
its bottom of gold, its seat of purple,
the middle of it being paved with love,
from the daughters of Jerusalem.


book: Song
contenido:
Go out, you daughters of Zion, and see king Solomon,
with the crown with which his mother has crowned him,
in the day of his weddings,
in the day of the gladness of his heart.


book: Song
contenido:
Behold, you are beautiful, my love.
Behold, you are beautiful.
Your eyes are like doves behind your veil.
Your hair is as a flock of goats,
that descend from Mount Gilead.


book: Song
contenido:
Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock,
which have come up from the washing,
where every one of them has twins.
None is bereaved amongst them.


book: Song
contenido:
Your lips are like scarlet thread.
Your mouth is lovely.
Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.


book: Song
contenido:
Your neck is like David’s tower built for an armoury,
on which a thousand shields hang,
all the shields of the mighty men.


book: Song
contenido:
Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh,
to the hill of frankincense.


book: Song
contenido:
Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
with me from Lebanon.
Look from the top of Amana,
from the top of Senir and Hermon,
from the lions’ dens,
from the mountains of the leopards.


book: Song
contenido:
You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride.
You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes,
with one chain of your neck.


book: Song
contenido:
How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much better is your love than wine,
the fragrance of your perfumes than all kinds of spices!


book: Song
contenido:
Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb.
Honey and milk are under your tongue.
The smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.


book: Song
contenido:
spikenard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree;
myrrh and aloes, with all the best spices,


book: Song
contenido:
Awake, north wind, and come, you south!
Blow on my garden, that its spices may flow out.
Let my beloved come into his garden,
and taste his precious fruits.


book: Song
contenido:
I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride.
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice;
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, friends!
Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.


book: Song
contenido:
I was asleep, but my heart was awake.
It is the voice of my beloved who knocks:
“Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled;
for my head is filled with dew,
and my hair with the dampness of the night.”


book: Song
contenido:
I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on?
I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?


book: Song
contenido:
I rose up to open for my beloved.
My hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with liquid myrrh,
on the handles of the lock.


book: Song
contenido:
I opened to my beloved;
but my beloved left, and had gone away.
My heart went out when he spoke.
I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.
I called him, but he didn’t answer.


book: Song
contenido:
The watchmen who go about the city found me.
They beat me.
They bruised me.
The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.


book: Song
contenido:
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,
If you find my beloved,
that you tell him that I am faint with love.


book: Song
contenido:
How is your beloved better than another beloved,
you fairest amongst women?
How is your beloved better than another beloved,
that you do so adjure us?


book: Song
contenido:
His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes.
His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.


book: Song
contenido:
His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl.
His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.


book: Song
contenido:
His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.


book: Song
contenido:
His mouth is sweetness;
yes, he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, and this is my friend,
daughters of Jerusalem.


book: Song
contenido:
Where has your beloved gone, you fairest amongst women?
Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?


book: Song
contenido:
My beloved has gone down to his garden,
to the beds of spices,
to pasture his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies.


book: Song
contenido:
Turn away your eyes from me,
for they have overcome me.
Your hair is like a flock of goats,
that lie along the side of Gilead.


book: Song
contenido:
Your teeth are like a flock of ewes,
which have come up from the washing,
of which every one has twins;
not one is bereaved amongst them.


book: Song
contenido:
My dove, my perfect one, is unique.
She is her mother’s only daughter.
She is the favourite one of her who bore her.
The daughters saw her, and called her blessed.
The queens and the concubines saw her, and they praised her.


book: Song
contenido:
Who is she who looks out as the morning,
beautiful as the moon,
clear as the sun,
and awesome as an army with banners?


book: Song
contenido:
I went down into the nut tree grove,
to see the green plants of the valley,
to see whether the vine budded,
and the pomegranates were in flower.


book: Song
contenido:
Return, return, Shulammite!
Return, return, that we may gaze at you.
Why do you desire to gaze at the Shulammite,
as at the dance of Mahanaim?


book: Song
contenido:
How beautiful are your feet in sandals, prince’s daughter!
Your rounded thighs are like jewels,
the work of the hands of a skilful workman.


book: Song
contenido:
Your body is like a round goblet,
no mixed wine is wanting.
Your waist is like a heap of wheat,
set about with lilies.


book: Song
contenido:
Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are like the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bathrabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks towards Damascus.


book: Song
contenido:
Your head on you is like Carmel.
The hair of your head like purple.
The king is held captive in its tresses.


book: Song
contenido:
I said, “I will climb up into the palm tree.
I will take hold of its fruit.”
Let your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
the smell of your breath like apples.


book: Song
contenido:
Your mouth is like the best wine,
that goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding through the lips of those who are asleep.


book: Song
contenido:
Let’s go early up to the vineyards.
Let’s see whether the vine has budded,
its blossom is open,
and the pomegranates are in flower.
There I will give you my love.


book: Song
contenido:
The mandrakes produce fragrance.
At our doors are all kinds of precious fruits, new and old,
which I have stored up for you, my beloved.


book: Song
contenido:
Oh that you were like my brother,
who nursed from the breasts of my mother!
If I found you outside, I would kiss you;
yes, and no one would despise me.


book: Song
contenido:
I would lead you, bringing you into the house of my mother,
who would instruct me.
I would have you drink spiced wine,
of the juice of my pomegranate.


book: Song
contenido:
Who is this who comes up from the wilderness,
leaning on her beloved?
Under the apple tree I aroused you.
There your mother conceived you.
There she was in labour and bore you.


book: Song
contenido:
Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm;
for love is strong as death.
Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a very flame of the LORD.


book: Song
contenido:
Many waters can’t quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love,
he would be utterly scorned.


book: Song
contenido:
We have a little sister.
She has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
in the day when she is to be spoken for?


book: Song
contenido:
If she is a wall,
we will build on her a turret of silver.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with boards of cedar.


book: Song
contenido:
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon.
He leased out the vineyard to keepers.
Each was to bring a thousand shekels  of silver for its fruit.


book: Song
contenido:
My own vineyard is before me.
The thousand are for you, Solomon,
two hundred for those who tend its fruit.


book: Isa
contenido:
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.


book: Isa
contenido:
Hear, heavens,
and listen, earth; for the LORD  has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children
and they have rebelled against me.


book: Isa
contenido:
The ox knows his owner,
and the donkey his master’s crib;
but Israel doesn’t know.
My people don’t consider.”


book: Isa
contenido:
Ah sinful nation,
a people loaded with iniquity,
offspring  of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the LORD.
They have despised the Holy One of Israel.
They are estranged and backward.

Why should you be beaten more,
that you revolt more and more?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.

From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it:
wounds, welts, and open sores.
They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.

We would have been like Gomorrah.


book: Isa

“What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?”, says the LORD.
“I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of fed animals.
I don’t delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs,
or of male goats.


book: Isa
contenido:
Bring no more vain offerings.
Incense is an abomination to me.
New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations:
I can’t stand evil assemblies.


book: Isa

My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts.
They are a burden to me.
I am weary of bearing them.

Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes.
Cease to do evil.

for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.”

How the faithful city has become a prostitute!
She was full of justice.
Righteousness lodged in her,
but now there are murderers.

Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves.
Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards.

the Mighty One of Israel, says:

Many peoples shall go and say,
“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob;

and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem.


book: Isa

He will judge between the nations,
and will decide concerning many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.

because they are filled from the east,
with those who practise divination like the Philistines,

Their land is full of silver and gold,
neither is there any end of their treasures.
Their land also is full of horses,
neither is there any end of their chariots.

Their land also is full of idols.
They worship the work of their own hands,
that which their own fingers have made.


book: Isa

Enter into the rock,
and hide in the dust,
from before the terror of the LORD,
and from the glory of his majesty.

In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver
and their idols of gold,
which have been made for themselves to worship,
to the moles and to the bats,


book: Isa

to go into the caverns of the rocks,
and into the clefts of the ragged rocks,
from before the terror of the LORD,

For, behold,  the Lord, GOD of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support,
the whole supply of bread,
and the whole supply of water;

the captain of fifty,
the honourable man,
the counsellor,
the skilled craftsman,
and the clever enchanter.

because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD,
to provoke the eyes of his glory.

They parade their sin like Sodom.
They don’t hide it.
Woe to their soul!

As for my people, children are their oppressors,
and women rule over them.
My people, those who lead you cause you to err,
and destroy the way of your paths.

The LORD will enter into judgement with the elders of his people
and their leaders:

Moreover the LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant,
and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes,
walking to trip as they go,
jingling ornaments on their feet;

and the LORD will make their scalps bald.”


book: Isa

In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,


book: Isa

It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness;
instead of a belt, a rope;
instead of well set hair, baldness;
instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth;
and branding instead of beauty.

Seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread, and wear our own clothing. Just let us be called by your name. Take away our reproach.”

There will be a pavilion for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge and for a shelter from storm and from rain.


book: Isa

Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard.
My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.


book: Isa
contenido:
He dug it up,
gathered out its stones,
planted it with the choicest vine,
built a tower in the middle of it,
and also cut out a wine press in it.
He looked for it to yield grapes,
but it yielded wild grapes.


book: Isa
contenido:
What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?
Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?


book: Isa

Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard.
I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up.
I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled down.


book: Isa

I will lay it a wasteland.
It won’t be pruned or hoed,
but it will grow briers and thorns.
I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”


book: Isa
contenido:
For the vineyard of the LORD of Armies is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah his pleasant plant:
and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression;
for righteousness, but, behold, a cry of distress.


book: Isa

Woe to those who join house to house,
who lay field to field, until there is no room,
and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of the land!

Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink,
who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!

but they don’t respect the work of the LORD,
neither have they considered the operation of his hands.


book: Isa

Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge.
Their honourable men are famished,
and their multitudes are parched with thirst.


book: Isa

Therefore Sheol  has enlarged its desire,
and opened its mouth without measure;
and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices amongst them, descend into it.


book: Isa
contenido:
who say, “Let him make haste, let him hasten his work, that we may see it;
let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come,
that we may know it!”


book: Isa
contenido:
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
who put darkness for light,
and light for darkness;
who put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!


book: Isa

Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,

because they have rejected the law of the LORD of Armies,
and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.


book: Isa
contenido:
Therefore the LORD’s anger burns against his people,
and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them.

For all this, his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is still stretched out.


book: Isa
contenido:
He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away,
and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth.
Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.


book: Isa
contenido:
No one shall be weary nor stumble amongst them;
no one shall slumber nor sleep,
neither shall the belt of their waist be untied,
nor the strap of their sandals be broken,


book: Isa
contenido:
whose arrows are sharp,
and all their bows bent.
Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint,
and their wheels like a whirlwind.


book: Isa
contenido:
Their roaring will be like a lioness.
They will roar like young lions.
Yes, they shall roar,
and seize their prey and carry it off,
and there will be no one to deliver.


book: Isa
contenido:
They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea.
If one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress.
The light is darkened in its clouds.


book: Isa
contenido:
In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.


book: Isa
contenido:
Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.


book: Isa

One called to another, and said,
“Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Armies!
The whole earth is full of his glory!”


book: Isa

The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

He said, “Go, and tell this people,
‘You hear indeed,
but don’t understand.
You see indeed,
but don’t perceive.’


book: Isa

Make the heart of this people fat.
Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes;
lest they see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their heart,
and turn again, and be healed.”


book: Isa
contenido:
Then I said, “Lord, how long?”
He answered,
“Until cities are waste without inhabitant,
houses without man,
the land becomes utterly waste,


book: Isa
contenido:
If there is a tenth left in it,
that also will in turn be consumed,
as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stump remains when they are cut down;
so the holy seed is its stock.”


book: Isa

Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.


book: Isa
contenido:
“Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it amongst ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.”


book: Isa

For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people.


book: Isa

The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”


book: Isa

He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?

The LORD said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For Maher Shalal Hash Baz’;


book: Isa

and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.”


book: Isa

I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then the LORD said to me, “Call his name ‘Maher Shalal Hash Baz.’


book: Isa

For before the child knows how to say, ‘My father,’ and, ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”

now therefore, behold, the Lord brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.


book: Isa

It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through. It will reach even to the neck. The stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, Immanuel.


book: Isa
contenido:
Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!


book: Isa
contenido:
Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.”


book: Isa
contenido:
For the LORD spoke this to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,


book: Isa
contenido:
“Don’t say, ‘A conspiracy!’ concerning all about which this people say, ‘A conspiracy!’ neither fear their threats, nor be terrorised.


book: Isa

The LORD of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.


book: Isa

He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a stumbling stone and a rock that makes them fall. For the people of Jerusalem, he will be a trap and a snare.


book: Isa

Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of Armies, who dwells in Mount Zion.


book: Isa
contenido:
When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?


book: Isa
contenido:
Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.


book: Isa
contenido:
They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry. It will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,


book: Isa
contenido:
and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.


book: Isa
contenido:
But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.


book: Isa
contenido:
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.
The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.


book: Isa
contenido:
You have multiplied the nation.
You have increased their joy.
They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.


book: Isa
contenido:
For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.


book: Isa
contenido:
For all the armour of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.


book: Isa

For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.


book: Isa
contenido:
Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.


book: Isa
contenido:
All the people will know,
including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,


book: Isa
contenido:
“The bricks have fallen,
but we will build with cut stone.
The sycamore fig trees have been cut down,
but we will put cedars in their place.”


book: Isa
contenido:
Therefore the LORD will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin,
and will stir up his enemies,


book: Isa
contenido:
The Syrians in front,
and the Philistines behind;
and they will devour Israel with open mouth.
For all this, his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still.


book: Isa
contenido:
Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men,
neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is profane and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks folly.
For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still.


book: Isa
contenido:
For wickedness burns like a fire.
It devours the briers and thorns;
yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest,
and they roll upward in a column of smoke.


book: Isa
contenido:
Through the LORD of Armies’ wrath, the land is burnt up;
and the people are the fuel for the fire.
No one spares his brother.


book: Isa
contenido:
One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry;
and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied.
Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:


book: Isa
contenido:
Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah.
For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still.


book: Isa
contenido:
to deprive the needy from justice, and to rob the poor amongst my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!


book: Isa
contenido:
What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?


book: Isa
contenido:
They will only bow down under the prisoners,
and will fall under the slain.
For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still.


book: Isa
contenido:
I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people who anger me I will give him a command to take the plunder and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.


book: Isa
contenido:
However he doesn’t mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.


book: Isa
contenido:
As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of Samaria;


book: Isa
contenido:
Therefore it will happen that when the Lord has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the wilful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his arrogant looks.


book: Isa
contenido:
For he has said, “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding. I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers.


book: Isa
contenido:
My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, I have gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped.”


book: Isa
contenido:
Should an axe brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood.


book: Isa
contenido:
Therefore the Lord, the LORD of Armies, will send amongst his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.

The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.


book: Isa

He will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.


book: Isa

It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.


book: Isa
contenido:
For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.


book: Isa
contenido:
For the Lord, the LORD of Armies, will make a full end, and that determined, throughout all the earth.


book: Isa
contenido:
Therefore the Lord, the LORD of Armies, says “My people who dwell in Zion, don’t be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, as Egypt did.


book: Isa
contenido:
For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction.”


book: Isa
contenido:
The LORD of Armies will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt.


book: Isa
contenido:
It will happen in that day that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.


book: Isa

They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.


book: Isa

This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.


book: Isa
contenido:
Behold, the Lord, the LORD of Armies, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.


book: Isa
contenido:
The LORD’s Spirit will rest on him:
the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.


book: Isa
contenido:
His delight will be in the fear of the LORD.
He will not judge by the sight of his eyes,
neither decide by the hearing of his ears;


book: Isa
contenido:
but he will judge the poor with righteousness,
and decide with equity for the humble of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;
and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.


book: Isa
contenido:
The wolf will live with the lamb,
