26:21For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

27:1In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that [is] in the sea.

27:2In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

27:3I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest [any] hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

27:4Fury [is] not in me: who would set the briers [and] thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

27:5Or let him take hold of my strength, [that] he may make peace with me; [and] he shall make peace with me.

27:6He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

27:7Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? [or] is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

27:8In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

27:9By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this [is] all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

9:18And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [is] the father of Canaan.

9:19These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

9:20And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

9:21And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

9:22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

9:23And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid [it] upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

9:24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

9:25And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

9:26And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

9:27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

9:28And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

9:29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

10:1Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

12:23A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

12:24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

12:25Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

12:26The righteous [is] more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

12:27The slothful [man] roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man [is] precious.

12:28In the way of righteousness [is] life; and [in] the pathway [thereof there is] no death.

13:1A wise son [heareth] his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

13:2A man shall eat good by the fruit of [his] mouth: but the soul of the transgressors [shall eat] violence.

13:3He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: [but] he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

13:4The soul of the sluggard desireth, and [hath] nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

13:5A righteous [man] hateth lying: but a wicked [man] is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

13:6Righteousness keepeth [him that is] upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

13:7There is that maketh himself rich, yet [hath] nothing: [there is] that maketh himself poor, yet [hath] great riches.

13:8The ransom of a man's life [are] his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.

13:9The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

9Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth.

10Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no saviour.

12I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when [there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I [am] God.

13Yea, before the day [was] I [am] he; and [there is] none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

14Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry [is] in the ships.

12But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute [you], delivering [you] up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

13And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

14Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

15For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

16And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be put to death.

17And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.

18But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

19In your patience possess ye your souls.

1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

4Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

5And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

6For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

7If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

10For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after their own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be partakers of his holiness.

1For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

2And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

4And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

5Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

6And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

7They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, [that] shall ye receive.

8So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them [their] hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

9And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

10But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

11And when they had received [it], they murmured against the goodman of the house,

12Saying, These last have wrought [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

13But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

14Take [that] thine [is], and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

15Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

16So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
