[HNV] Ezekiel 4, World English Bible: Messianic Edition

Ezekiel, starting at chapter 4
{4:1} You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before
yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem: {4:2} and lay
siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound
against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams
against it all around. {4:3} Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it
for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward
it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This
shall be a sign to the house of Israel. {4:4} Moreover lie on your
left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it;
according to the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you
shall bear their iniquity. {4:5} For I have appointed the years of
their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred
ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
{4:6} Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your
right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty
days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you. {4:7} You shall
set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered;
and you shall prophesy against it. {4:8} Behold, I lay bands on you,
and you shall not turn you from one side to the other, until you have
accomplished the days of your siege. {4:9} Take for yourself also
wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and
put them in one vessel, and make bread of it; according to the number
of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety
days, you shall eat of it. {4:10} Your food which you shall eat shall
be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat
it. {4:11} You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin:
from time to time you shall drink. {4:12} You shall eat it as barley
cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out
of man. {4:13} The LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel
eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.
{4:14} Then I said, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been
polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that
which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there
abominable flesh into my mouth. {4:15} Then he said to me, Behold, I
have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your
bread thereon. {4:16} Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I
will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread
by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by
measure, and in dismay: {4:17} that they may want bread and water, and
be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
{5:1} You, son of man, take a sharp sword; You shall take it as a
barber's razor to you, and shall cause it to pass on your head and on
your beard: then take balances to weigh, and divide the hair. {5:2} A
third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when
the days of the siege are fulfilled; and you shall take a third part,
and strike with the sword around it; and a third part you shall
scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them. {5:3} You
shall take of it a few in number, and bind them in your skirts. {5:4}
Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the midst of the
fire, and burn them in the fire; from it shall a fire come forth into
all the house of Israel. {5:5} Thus says the Lord GOD: This is
Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries
are around her. {5:6} She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing
wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than
the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my
ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.
{5:7} Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you are turbulent more
than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my
statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have done after the
ordinances of the nations that are around you; {5:8} therefore thus
says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will
execute judgments in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
{5:9} I will do in you that which I have not done, and whereunto I
will not do any more the like, because of all your abominations.
{5:10} Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you,
and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on
you; and the whole remnant of you will I scatter to all the winds.
{5:11} Therefore as I live, says the Lord GOD, surely, because you
have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with
all your abominations, therefore will I also diminish you; neither
shall my eye spare, and I also will have no pity. {5:12} A third part
of you shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 21
{21:1} I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and
the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. {21:2} I saw
the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. {21:3} I heard a loud
voice out of heaven saying, Behold, God's dwelling is with people,
and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God
himself will be with them as their God. {21:4} He will wipe away from
them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will
there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things
have passed away.
{21:5} He who sits on the throne said, Behold, I am making all
things new. He said, Write, for these words of God are faithful and
true. {21:6} He said to me, It is done! I am the Alef and the Tav,
the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty
from the spring of the water of life. {21:7} He who overcomes, I will
give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
{21:8} But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable,
murderers, sexually immoral, [1]sorcerers,[1] idolaters, and all
liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur,
which is the second death.
{21:9} One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were
loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying,
Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb's bride. {21:10} He
carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed
me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
{21:11} having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious
stone, as if it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal; {21:12} having
a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve
angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve
tribes of the children of Israel. {21:13} On the east were three
gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and
on the west three gates. {21:14} The wall of the city had twelve
foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Emissaries of the
Lamb. {21:15} He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed,
to measure the city, its gates, and its walls. {21:16} The city lies
foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the
city with the reed, [2]Twelve thousand twelve stadia[2]. Its length,
breadth, and height are equal. {21:17} Its wall is [3]one hundred
forty-four cubits,[3] by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
{21:18} The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure
gold, like pure glass. {21:19} The foundations of the city's wall were
adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was
jasper; the second, [4]sapphire[4]; the third, chalcedony; the
fourth, emerald; {21:20} the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the
seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth,
chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.
{21:21} The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was
made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like
transparent glass. {21:22} I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God,
the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple. {21:23} The city has no
need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of
God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. {21:24} The nations will
walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of
the nations into it. {21:25} Its gates will in no way be shut by day
(for there will be no night there), {21:26} and they shall bring the
glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
{21:27} There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one
who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in
the Lamb's book of life.

[HNV] Ezekiel 1, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Ezekiel, starting at chapter 1
{1:1} Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in
the fifth of the month, as I was among the captives by the river
Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of
[1]God[1]. {1:2} In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year
of king Jehoiachin's captivity, {1:3} the word of [2]the LORD[2]
came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of
the Kasdim by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there on
him. {1:4} I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north,
a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it,
and out of its midst as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the
fire. {1:5} Out of its midst came the likeness of four living
creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
{1:6} Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
{1:7} Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was
like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished
brass. {1:8} They had the hands of a man under their wings on their
four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings thus:
{1:9} their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when
they went; each one went straight forward. {1:10} As for the likeness
of their faces, they had the face of a man; and the four of them had
the face of a lion on the right side; and the four of them had the
face of an ox on the left side; the four of them also had the face of
an eagle. {1:11} Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out
above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their
bodies. {1:12} Each one went straight forward: where the spirit was to
go, they went; they didn't turn when they went. {1:13} As for the
likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning
coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: the fire went up and
down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of
the fire went forth lightning. {1:14} The living creatures ran and
returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. {1:15} Now as I
saw the living creatures, behold, one wheel on the earth beside the
living creatures, for each of the four faces of it. {1:16} The
appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four
of them had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as
it were a wheel within a wheel. {1:17} When they went, they went in
their four directions: they didn't turn when they went. {1:18} As for
their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had
their rims full of eyes all around. {1:19} When the living creatures
went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were
lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. {1:20} Wherever
the spirit was to go, they went; there was the spirit to go: and the
wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living
creature was in the wheels. {1:21} When those went, these went; and
when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the
earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them: for the spirit of the
living creature was in the wheels. {1:22} Over the head of the living
creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like the awesome
crystal to look on, stretched forth over their heads above. {1:23}
Under the expanse were their wings straight, the one toward the other:
each one had two which covered on this side, and every one had two
which covered on that side, their bodies. {1:24} When they went, I
heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like
the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an
army: when they stood, they let down their wings. {1:25} There was a
voice above the expanse that was over their heads: when they stood,
they let down their wings. {1:26} Above the expanse that was over
their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a
[3]sapphire[3] stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a
likeness as the appearance of a man on it above. {1:27} I saw as it
were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around,
from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance
of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and
there was brightness around him. {1:28} As the appearance of the
rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance
of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness
of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I
heard a voice of one that spoke.
{2:1} He said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will
speak with you. {2:2} The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me,
and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me. {2:3} He said
to me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation
of rebels who have

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 20
{20:1} I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of
the abyss and a great chain in his hand. {20:2} He seized the dragon,
the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole
inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years, {20:3} and cast
him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he
should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were
finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time. {20:4} I saw
thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw
the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Yeshua,
and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his
image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their
hand. They lived, and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years.
{20:5} The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were
finished. This is the first resurrection. {20:6} Blessed and holy is
he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second
death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Messiah,
and will reign with him one thousand years.
{20:7} And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his
prison, {20:8} and he will come out to deceive the nations which are
in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them
together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
{20:9} They went up over the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the
camp of the holy ones, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of
heaven from God, and devoured them. {20:10} The devil who deceived
them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and
the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night
forever and ever.
{20:11} I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from
whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no
place for them. {20:12} I saw the dead, the great and the small,
standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was
opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the
things which were written in the books, according to their works.
{20:13} The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and
[1]Sheol[1] gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged,
each one according to his works. {20:14} Death and [2]Sheol[2] were
thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of
fire. {20:15} If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he
was cast into the lake of fire.

[HNV] Lament 4, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Lamentations, starting at chapter 4
{4:1} How the gold has become dim! The most pure gold has changed!
The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.
{4:2} The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold,
How are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of
the potter!
{4:3} Even the jackals draw out the breast, they nurse their young
ones:
The daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the
wilderness.
{4:4} The tongue of the nursing child clings to the roof of his mouth
for thirst:
The young children ask bread, and no man breaks it to them.
{4:5} Those who fed delicately are desolate in the streets:
Those who were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
{4:6} For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than
the sin of Sodom,
That was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were laid on her.
{4:7} Her Nazirites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was as of
sapphire.
{4:8} Their appearance is blacker than a coal; they are not known in
the streets:
Their skin clings to their bones; it is withered, it has become like a
stick.
{4:9} Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who
are killed with hunger;
For these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the
field.
{4:10} The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children;
They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
{4:11} The LORD has accomplished his wrath, he has poured out his
fierce anger;
He has kindled a fire in Zion, which has devoured its foundations.
{4:12} The kings of the earth didn't believe, neither all the
inhabitants of the world,
That the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of
Jerusalem.
{4:13} It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities
of her priests,
That have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.
{4:14} They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with
blood,
So that men can't touch their garments.
{4:15} Depart! they cried to them, Unclean! depart, depart, don't
touch!
When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, They
shall not live here any more.
{4:16} The anger of the LORD has scattered them; he will no more
regard them:
They didn't respect the persons of the priests, they didn't favor the
elders.
{4:17} Our eyes still fail, looking in vain for our help:
In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
{4:18} They hunt our steps, so that we can't go in our streets:
Our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end has come.
{4:19} Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky:
They chased us on the mountains, they laid wait for us in the
wilderness.
{4:20} The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken
in their pits;
Of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.
{4:21} Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom, that dwell in the land
of Uz:
The cup shall pass through to you also; you shall be drunken, and
shall make yourself naked.
{4:22} The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, daughter of
Zion; he will no more carry you away into captivity:
He will visit your iniquity, daughter of Edom; he will uncover your
sins.
{5:1} Remember, LORD, what has come on us:
Look, and see our reproach.
{5:2} Our inheritance is turned to strangers,
Our houses to aliens.
{5:3} We are orphans and fatherless;
Our mothers are as widows.
{5:4} We have drunken our water for money;
Our wood is sold to us.
{5:5} Our pursuers are on our necks:
We are weary, and have no rest.
{5:6} We have given the hand to the Egyptians,
To the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
{5:7} Our fathers sinned, and are no more;
We have borne their iniquities.
{5:8} Servants rule over us:
There is none to deliver us out of their hand.
{5:9} We get our bread at the peril of our lives,
Because of the sword of the wilderness.
{5:10} Our skin is black like an oven,
Because of the burning heat of famine.
{5:11} They ravished the women in Zion,
The virgins in the cities of Judah.
{5:12} Princes were hanged up by their hand:
The faces of elders were not honored.
{5:13} The young men bare the mill;
The children stumbled under the wood.
{5:14} The elders have ceased from the gate,
The young men from their music.
{5:15} The joy of our heart is ceased;
Our dance is turned into mourning.
{5:16} The crown is fallen from our head:
Woe to us! for we have sinned.
{5:17} For this our heart is faint;
For these things our eyes are dim;
{5:18} For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate:
The foxes walk on it.
{5:19} You, LORD, remain forever;

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 19
{19:1} After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a
great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and
glory belong to our God: {19:2} for true and righteous are his
judgments. For he has judged the great prostitute, who corrupted the
earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his
servants at her hand.
{19:3} A second said, Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and
ever. {19:4} The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures
fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, Amen!
Hallelujah!
{19:5} A voice came forth from the throne, saying, Give praise to
our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the
great!
{19:6} I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and
like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders,
saying, Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!
{19:7} Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the
glory to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has
made herself ready. {19:8} It was given to her that she would array
herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the
righteous acts of the holy ones.
{19:9} He said to me, Write, 'Blessed are those who are invited to
the marriage supper of the Lamb.' He said to me, These are true
words of God.
{19:10} I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me,
Look! Don't do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your
brothers who hold the testimony of Yeshua. Worship God, for the
testimony of Yeshua is the Spirit of Prophecy.
{19:11} I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he
who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges
and makes war. {19:12} His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head
are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one
knows but he himself. {19:13} He is clothed in a garment sprinkled
with blood. His name is called The Word of God. {19:14} The armies
which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white,
pure, fine linen. {19:15} Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp,
double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will
rule them with an iron rod.[1] He treads the winepress of the
fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. {19:16} He has on his
garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF
LORDS.
{19:17} I saw an angel standing in the [2]sun.[2] He cried with a
loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, Come! Be
gathered together to the [3]great supper of God,[3] {19:18} that you
may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty
men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the
flesh of all men, both free and slave, and small and great. {19:19} I
saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered
together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his
army. {19:20} The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who
worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had
received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.
These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with
sulfur. {19:21} The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on
the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds
were filled with their flesh.

arch...@jab.org
Lamentations, starting at chapter 1
{1:1} How the city sits solitary, that was full of people!
She has become as a widow, who was great among the nations!
She who was a princess among the provinces has become tributary!
{1:2} She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks;
among all her lovers she has none to comfort her:
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they are become her
enemies.
{1:3} Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because
of great servitude;
she dwells among the nations, she finds no rest:
all her persecutors overtook her within the straits.
{1:4} The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn
assembly;
all her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh:
her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
{1:5} Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper;
for [1]the LORD[1] has afflicted her for the multitude of her
transgressions:
her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.
{1:6} From the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed:
her princes are become like harts that find no pasture,
they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
{1:7} Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her
miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old:
when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and no one helped
her,
The adversaries saw her, they mocked at her desolations.
{1:8} Jerusalem has grievously sinned; therefore she has become as an
unclean thing;
all who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness:
yes, she sighs, and turns backward.
{1:9} Her filthiness was in her skirts; she didn't remember her latter
end;
therefore is she come down wonderfully; she has no comforter:
see, LORD, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself.
{1:10} The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant
things:
for she has seen that the nations are entered into her sanctuary,
concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your
assembly.
{1:11} All her people sigh, they seek bread;
they have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul:
look, LORD, and see; for I am become abject.
{1:12} Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?
Look, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought
on me,
With which the LORD has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
{1:13} From on high has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails
against them;
He has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back:
He has made me desolate and faint all the day.
{1:14} The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand;
They are knit together, they have come up on my neck; he has made my
strength to fail:
The [2]Lord[2] has delivered me into their hands, against whom I am
not able to stand.
{1:15} The Lord has set at nothing all my mighty men in the midst of
me;
He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men:
The Lord has trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.
{1:16} For these things I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water;
Because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me:
My children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.
{1:17} Zion spreads forth her hands; there is none to comfort her;
The LORD has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him
should be his adversaries:
Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
{1:18} The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his
commandment:
Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow:
My virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
{1:19} I called for my lovers, but they deceived me:
My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city,
While they sought them food to refresh their souls.
{1:20} See, LORD; for I am in distress; my heart is troubled;
My heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled:
Abroad the sword bereaves, at home there is as death.
{1:21} They have heard that I sigh; there is none to comfort me;
All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have
done it:
You will bring the day that you have proclaimed, and they shall be
like me.
{1:22} Let all their wickedness come before you;
Do to them, as you have done to me for all my transgressions:
For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
{2:1} How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in
his anger!
He has cast down from heaven to the earth the beauty of Israel,
And hasn't remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
{2:2} The Lord has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has
not pitied:
He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of
Judah;
He has brought them down to the ground; he

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 18
{18:1} After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of
the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his
glory. {18:2} He cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is
Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison
of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful
bird! {18:3} For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath
of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual
immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the
abundance of her luxury.
{18:4} I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,
my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you
don't receive of her plagues, {18:5} for her sins have reached to the
sky, and God has remembered her iniquities. {18:6} Return to her just
as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her
works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double. {18:7} However
much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of
torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and
am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.' {18:8} Therefore in one
day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will
be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is
strong. {18:9} The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality
and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they
look at the smoke of her burning, {18:10} standing far away for the
fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the
strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.' {18:11} The
merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their
merchandise any more; {18:12} merchandise of gold, silver, precious
stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood,
every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of
brass, and iron, and marble; {18:13} and cinnamon, incense, perfume,
frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses,
chariots, and people's bodies and souls. {18:14} The fruits which your
soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were
dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no
more at all. {18:15} The merchants of these things, who were made rich
by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and
mourning; {18:16} saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, she who was
dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls! {18:17} For in an hour such great riches
are made desolate.' Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere,
and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
{18:18} and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning,
saying, 'What is like the great city?' {18:19} They cast dust on their
heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great
city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by
reason of her great wealth!' For in one hour is she made desolate.
{18:20} Rejoice over her, O heaven, you holy ones, emissaries, and
prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her. {18:21} A mighty
angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea,
saying, Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown
down, and will be found no more at all. {18:22} The voice of harpists,
minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all
in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all
in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
{18:23} The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The
voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all
in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with
your sorcery all the nations were deceived. {18:24} In her was found
the blood of prophets and of holy ones, and of all who have been slain
on the earth.

[HNV] Jeremiah 52, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Jeremiah, starting at chapter 52
{52:1} Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and
he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was
Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. {52:2} He did that which
was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had
done. {52:3} For through the anger of the LORD it happened in
Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence.
Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. {52:4} It happened in
the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of
the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his
army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts
against it round about. {52:5} So the city was besieged to the
eleventh year of king Zedekiah. {52:6} In the fourth month, in the
ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that
there was no bread for the people of the land. {52:7} Then a breach
was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out
of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls,
which was by the king's garden; (now the Kasdim were against the city
all around;) and they went toward the Arabah. {52:8} But the army of
the Kasdim pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains
of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. {52:9} Then they
took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in
the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him. {52:10} The king of
Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also
all the princes of Judah in Riblah. {52:11} He put out the eyes of
Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried
him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.
{52:12} Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which
was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of
Babylon, into Jerusalem: {52:13} and he burned the house of the LORD,
and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every
great house, burned he with fire. {52:14} All the army of the Kasdim,
who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of
Jerusalem all around. {52:15} Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the
guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the
residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell
away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the
multitude. {52:16} But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of
the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers. {52:17}
The Kasdim broke the pillars of brass that were in the house of the
LORD, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of the
LORD in pieces, and carried all the of their brass to Babylon. {52:18}
They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins,
the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
{52:19} The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans,
the basins, the pots, the menorahs, the spoons, and the bowls; that
which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
{52:20} They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze
bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the
house of the LORD. The brass of all these vessels was without weight.
{52:21} As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen
cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness
was four fingers. It was hollow. {52:22} A capital of brass was on it;
and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and
pomegranates on the capital all around, all of brass: and the second
pillar also had like these, and pomegranates. {52:23} There were
ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one
hundred on the network all around. {52:24} The captain of the guard
took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and
the three keepers of the threshold: {52:25} and out of the city he
took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of
those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the
scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the
land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the
midst of the city. {52:26} Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took
them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. {52:27} The
king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the
land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
{52:28} This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive:
in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews; {52:29} in the
eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from
Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 17
{17:1} One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and
spoke with me, saying, Come here. I will show you the judgment of the
great prostitute who sits on many waters, {17:2} with whom the kings
of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the
earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.
{17:3} He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a
woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names,
having seven heads and ten horns. {17:4} The woman was dressed in
purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and
pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the
impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth. {17:5} And on her
forehead a name was written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER
OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. {17:6} I saw
the woman drunken with the blood of the holy ones, and with the blood
of the martyrs of Yeshua. When I saw her, I wondered with great
amazement. {17:7} The angel said to me, Why do you wonder? I will
tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her,
which has the seven heads and the ten horns. {17:8} The beast that you
saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to
go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have
not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world
will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and
[1]shall be present.[1] {17:9} Here is the mind that has wisdom. The
seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits. {17:10} They
are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet
come. When he comes, he must continue a little while. {17:11} The
beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the
seven; and he goes to destruction. {17:12} The ten horns that you saw
are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive
authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour. {17:13} These have
one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
{17:14} These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome
them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will
overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful. {17:15} He
said to me, The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are
peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. {17:16} The ten horns
which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will
make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh,
and will burn her utterly with fire. {17:17} For God has put in their
hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give
their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be
accomplished. {17:18} The woman whom you saw is the great city, which
reigns over the kings of the earth.

[HNV] Jeremiah 49, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Jeremiah, starting at chapter 49
{49:1} Of the children of Ammon. Thus says the LORD: Has Israel no
sons? has he no heir? why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people
well in its cities? {49:2} Therefore behold, the days come, says the
LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of
the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her
daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those
who possessed him, says the LORD. {49:3} Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid
waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth:
lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam shall go
into captivity, his priests and his princes together. {49:4} Why do
you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter?
who trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come to me? {49:5}
Behold, I will bring a fear on you, says the Lord, the LORD of Hosts,
from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man
right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.
{49:6} But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children
of Ammon, says the LORD. {49:7} Of Edom. Thus says the LORD of Hosts:
Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is
their wisdom vanished? {49:8} Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths,
inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him,
the time that I shall visit him. {49:9} If grape gatherers came to
you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night,
wouldn't they destroy until they had enough? {49:10} But I have made
Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be
able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his brothers, and his
neighbors; and he is no more. {49:11} Leave your fatherless children,
I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me. {49:12}
For thus says the LORD: Behold, they to whom it didn't pertain to
drink of the cup shall certainly drink; and are you he who shall
altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall
surely drink. {49:13} For I have sworn by myself, says the LORD, that
Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse;
and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes. {49:14} I have heard
news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations,
saying, Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up
to the battle. {49:15} For, behold, I have made you small among the
nations, and despised among men. {49:16} As for your terror, the pride
of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the
rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your
nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says the
LORD. {49:17} Edom shall become an astonishment: everyone who passes
by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues. {49:18}
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of
it, says the LORD, no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of
man live therein. {49:19} Behold, he shall come up like a lion from
the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will
suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I
appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time?
and who is the shepherd who will stand before me? {49:20} Therefore
hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom; and his
purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman:
Surely they shall drag them away, the little ones of the flock; surely
he shall make their habitation desolate over them. {49:21} The earth
trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which
is heard in the Sea of Suf. {49:22} Behold, he shall come up and fly
as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart
of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman
in her pangs. {49:23} Of Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad;
for they have heard evil news, they are melted away: there is sorrow
on the sea; it can't be quiet. {49:24} Damascus has grown feeble, she
turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized on her: anguish and
sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail. {49:25} How
is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy? {49:26}
Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of
war shall be brought to silence in that day, says the LORD of Hosts.
{49:27} I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall
devour the palaces of Ben Hadad. {49:28} Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms
of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. Thus says the
LORD: Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east.
{49:29} Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry
away for themselves their curtains, and all their

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 16
{16:1} I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven
angels, Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the
earth!
{16:2} The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and
it became a harmful and evil sore on the people who had the mark of
the beast, and who worshiped his image.
{16:3} The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it
became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died.
{16:4} The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of
water, and they became blood. {16:5} I heard the angel of the waters
saying, You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One,
because you have judged these things. {16:6} For they poured out the
blood of the holy ones and the prophets, and you have given them blood
to drink. They deserve this. {16:7} I heard the altar saying, Yes,
Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.
{16:8} The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given
to him to scorch men with fire. {16:9} People were scorched with great
heat, and people blasphemed the name of God who has the power over
these plagues. They didn't repent and give him glory.
{16:10} The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,
and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the
pain, {16:11} and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their
pains and their sores. They didn't repent of their works.
{16:12} The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the
Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for
the kings that come from the sunrise. {16:13} I saw coming out of the
mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the
mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, something like
frogs; {16:14} for they are spirits of demons, performing signs; which
go forth to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them
together for the war of that great day of God, the Almighty.
{16:15} Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and
keeps his clothes, so that he doesn't walk naked, and they see his
shame. {16:16} He gathered them together into the place which is
called in Hebrew, Har-Megiddo.
{16:17} The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice
came forth out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It
is done! {16:18} There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and
there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on
the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty. {16:19} The great city
was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell.
Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her
the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. {16:20} Every
island fled away, and the mountains were not found. {16:21} Great
hailstones, about the weight of a [1]talent,[1] came down out of the
sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the
hail, for this plague is exceedingly severe.

concerning the nations. {46:2} Of Egypt: concerning the army of
Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in
Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth
year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah. {46:3} Prepare the

are beaten down, and have fled apace, and don't look back: terror is
on every side, says the LORD. {46:6} Don't let the swift flee away,
nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have
they stumbled and fallen. {46:7} Who is this who rises up like the
Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers? {46:8} Egypt rises
up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and
he says, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities
and its inhabitants. {46:9} Go up, you horses; and rage, you chariots;
and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, who handle the shield;
and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow. {46:10} For that day is of
the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge
him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and
shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, the LORD of Hosts,
has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates. {46:11}
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain do
you use many medicines; there is no healing for you. {46:12} The
nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry;
for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen
both of them together. {46:13} The word that the LORD spoke to
Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should
come and strike the land of Egypt. {46:14} Declare in Egypt, and
publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes: say, Stand
forth, and prepare; for the sword has devoured around you. {46:15} Why
are your strong ones swept away? they didn't stand, because the LORD
pushed them. {46:16} He made many to stumble, yes, they fell one on
another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people,
and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword. {46:17} They
cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the
appointed time pass by. {46:18} As I live, says the King, whose name
is the LORD of Hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like
Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. {46:19} You daughter who dwells
in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall
become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.
{46:20} Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the
north has come, it has come. {46:21} Also her hired men in the midst
of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back,
they are fled away together, they didn't stand: for the day of their
calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation. {46:22} The
sound of it shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an
army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters. {46:23} They
shall cut down her forest, says the LORD, though it can't be searched;
because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable. {46:24}
The daughter of Egypt shall be disappointed; she shall be delivered
into the hand of the people of the north. {46:25} The LORD of Hosts,
the God of Israel, says: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and
Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and
those who trust in him: {46:26} and I will deliver them into the hand
of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it
shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says the LORD. {46:27} But
don't you be afraid, Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, Israel:
for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of
their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at
ease, and none shall make him afraid. {46:28} Don't you be afraid, O
Jacob my servant, says the LORD; for I am with you: for I will make a
full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not
make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in
no way leave you unpunished.
{47:1} The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet
concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza. {47:2}
Thus says the LORD: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall
become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that
is therein, the city and those who dwell

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 15
{15:1} I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven
angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God's wrath is
finished. {15:2} I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire,
and those who [1]overcame[1] the beast, his image,[2] and the number
of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. {15:3}
They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the
Lamb, saying,
Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty!
Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.
{15:4} Who wouldn't fear you, Lord,
and glorify your name?
For you only are holy.
For all the nations will come and worship before you.
For your righteous acts have been revealed.
{15:5} After these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle
of the testimony in heaven was opened. {15:6} The seven angels who had
the seven plagues came out, clothed with pure, bright linen, and
wearing golden sashes around their breasts.
{15:7} One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels
seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and
ever. {15:8} The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God,
and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple, until
the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.

[HNV] The Revelation to Yochanan 14, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 14
{14:1} I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with
him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and
the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. {14:2} I heard a
sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound
of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists
playing on their harps. {14:3} They sing a new song before the throne,
and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could
learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who
had been redeemed out of the earth. {14:4} These are those who were
not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who
follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Yeshua from
among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. {14:5} In their
mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.[1]
{14:6} I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good
News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation,
tribe, language, and people. {14:7} He said with a loud voice, Fear
the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come.
Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs
of waters!
{14:8} Another, a second angel, followed, saying, Babylon the great
has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the
wrath of her sexual immorality.
{14:9} Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great
voice, If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a
mark on his forehead, or on his hand, {14:10} he also will drink of
the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of
his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence
of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. {14:11} The smoke
of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and
night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives
the mark of his name. {14:12} Here is the patience of the holy ones,
those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Yeshua.
{14:13} I heard the voice from heaven saying, Write, 'Blessed are
the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'
Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for
their works follow with them.
{14:14} I looked, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud one
sitting like a son of man,[2] having on his head a golden crown, and
in his hand a sharp sickle. {14:15} Another angel came out from the
temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, Send
forth your sickle, and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the
harvest of the earth is ripe! {14:16} He who sat on the cloud thrust
his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
{14:17} Another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven.
He also had a sharp sickle. {14:18} Another angel came out from the
altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to
him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth your sharp sickle,
and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth's
grapes are fully ripe! {14:19} The angel thrust his sickle into the
earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the
great winepress of the wrath of God. {14:20} The winepress was trodden
outside of the city, and blood came out from the winepress, even to
the bridles of the horses, as far as [3]one thousand six hundred
stadia.[3]

[HNV] Jeremiah 40, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Jeremiah, starting at chapter 40
{40:1} The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when
he had taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of
Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away captive to Babylon. {40:2}
The captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, the LORD your
God pronounced this evil on this place; {40:3} and the LORD has
brought it, and done according as he spoke: because you have sinned
against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing
has come on you. {40:4} Now, behold, I release you this day from the
chains which are on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me
into Babylon, come, and I will take care of you; but if it seems bad
to you to come with me into Babylon, don't: behold, all the land is
before you; where it seems good and right to you to go, there go.
{40:5} Now while he had not yet gone back, Go back then, he said, to
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of
Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him
among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go. So the
captain of the guard gave him food and a present, and let him go.
{40:6} Then went Jeremiah to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and
lived with him among the people who were left in the land. {40:7} Now
when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they
and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, and
women, and children, and of the poorest of the land, of those who were
not carried away captive to Babylon; {40:8} then they came to Gedaliah
to Mizpah, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Yochanan and Jonathan the
sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of
Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they
and their men. {40:9} Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan
swore to them and to their men, saying, Don't be afraid to serve the
Kasdim: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall
be well with you. {40:10} As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah,
to stand before the Kasdim who shall come to us: but you, gather wine
and summer fruits and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in
your cities that you have taken. {40:11} Likewise when all the Jews
who were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and
who were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left
a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; {40:12} then all the Jews returned out of
all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to
Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.
{40:13} Moreover Yochanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of
the forces who were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, {40:14}
and said to him, Do you know that Baalis the king of the children of
Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life? But
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam didn't believe them. {40:15} Then Yochanan
the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Please
let me go, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man
shall know it: why should he take your life, that all the Jews who are
gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?
{40:16} But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Yochanan the son of
Kareah, You shall not do this thing; for you speak falsely of Ishmael.
{41:1} Now it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal and one of the chief
officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son
of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah.
{41:2} Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who
were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of
Shaphan with the sword, and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had
made governor over the land. {41:3} Ishmael also killed all the Jews
who were with him, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Kasdim who were
found there, the men of war. {41:4} It happened the second day after
he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it, {41:5} that there came men
from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having
their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves,
with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to
the house of the LORD. {41:6} Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth
from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it
happened, as he met them, he said to them, Come to Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam. {41:7} It was so, when they came into the midst of the city,
that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them,

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 12
{12:1} A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the
sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve
stars. {12:2} She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to
give birth. {12:3} Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great
red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven
crowns. {12:4} His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and
threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was
about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her
child. {12:5} She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule
all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God,
and to his throne. {12:6} The woman fled into the wilderness, where
she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one
thousand two hundred sixty days.
{12:7} There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on
the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war. {12:8} They didn't
prevail, neither was a place found for him any more in heaven. {12:9}
The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called
the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown
down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. {12:10} I
heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, Now the salvation, the power,
and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah has come;
for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them
before our God day and night. {12:11} They overcame him because of the
Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't
love their life, even to death. {12:12} Therefore rejoice, heavens,
and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because
the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he
has but a short time.
{12:13} When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he
persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. {12:14} Two
wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly
into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a
time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
{12:15} The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like
a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
{12:16} The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and
swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth.
{12:17} The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make
war with the rest of her seed, who keep God's commandments and hold
Yeshua's testimony.

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 11
{11:1} A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, Rise, and
measure God's temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
{11:2} Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't
measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the
holy city under foot for forty-two months. {11:3} I will give power to
my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred
sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. {11:4} These are the two olive
trees and the two menorahs, standing before the Lord of the earth.
{11:5} If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their
mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he
must be killed in this way. {11:6} These have the power to shut up the
sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have
power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the
earth with every plague, as often as they desire. {11:7} When they
have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the
abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.
{11:8} Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city,
which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was
crucified. {11:9} From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and
nations people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half
days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
{11:10} Those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and they will
be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two
prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. {11:11} After the
three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them,
and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.
{11:12} I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, Come up
here! They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw
them. {11:13} In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of
the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake,
and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
{11:14} The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.
{11:15} The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven
followed, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of
our Lord, and of his Messiah. He will reign forever and ever!
{11:16} The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before
God's throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God, {11:17} saying:
We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who
was[1]; because you have taken your great power, and reigned. {11:18}
The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the
dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their
reward, as well as to the holy ones, and those who fear your name, to
the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth.
{11:19} God's temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of
the Lord's covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds,
thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.

[HNV] Jeremiah 31, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Jeremiah, starting at chapter 31
{31:1} At that time, says the LORD, will I be the God of all the
families of Israel, and they shall be my people. {31:2} Thus says the
LORD, The people who were left of the sword found favor in the
wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. {31:3} The
LORD appeared of old to me, saying, Yes, I have loved you with an
everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you.
{31:4} Again will I build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of
Israel: again you shall be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go
forth in the dances of those who make merry. {31:5} Again you shall
plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant,
and shall enjoy its fruit. {31:6} For there shall be a day, that the
watchmen on the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up to
Zion to the LORD our God. {31:7} For thus says the LORD, Sing with
gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish,
praise, and say, the LORD, save your people, the remnant of Israel.
{31:8} Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather
them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and
the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child
together: a great company shall they return here. {31:9} They shall
come with weeping; and with petitions will I lead them: I will cause
them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they
shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my
firstborn. {31:10} Hear the word of the LORD, you nations, and declare
it in the islands afar off; and say, He who scattered Israel will
gather him, and keep him, as shepherd does his flock. {31:11} For the
LORD has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was
stronger than he. {31:12} They shall come and sing in the height of
Zion, and shall flow to the goodness of the LORD, to the grain, and to
the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the
herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not
sorrow any more at all. {31:13} Then shall the virgin rejoice in the
dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their
mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from
their sorrow. {31:14} I will satiate the soul of the priests with
fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says the
LORD. {31:15} Thus says the LORD: A voice is heard in Ramah,
lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she
refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.
{31:16} Thus says the LORD: Refrain your voice from weeping, and your
eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded, says the LORD; and
they shall come again from the land of the enemy. {31:17} There is
hope for your latter end, says the LORD; and your children shall come
again to their own border. {31:18} I have surely heard Ephraim
bemoaning himself thus, You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as
an untrained calf: turn me, and I shall be turned; for you are the
LORD my God. {31:19} Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and
after that I was instructed, I struck on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes,
even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth. {31:20} Is
Ephraim my dear son? is he a darling child? for as often as I speak
against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart
yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him, says the LORD.
{31:21} Set up road signs, make guideposts; set your heart toward the
highway, even the way by which you went: turn again, virgin of Israel,
turn again to these your cities. {31:22} How long will you go here and
there, you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing
in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man. {31:23} Thus says the
LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, Yet again shall they use this speech
in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I shall bring again their
captivity: the LORD bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain
of holiness. {31:24} Judah and all its cities shall dwell therein
together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks. {31:25} For
I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul have I
replenished. {31:26} On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was
sweet to me. {31:27} Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will
sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man,
and with the seed of animal. {31:28} It shall happen that, like as I
have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow
and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and
to plant, says the LORD. {31:29} In those days they shall say no more,
The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set
on edge. {31:30} But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every
man who eats

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 10
{10:1} I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with
a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his
[1]feet[1] like pillars of fire. {10:2} He had in his hand a little
open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.
{10:3} He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the
seven thunders uttered their voices. {10:4} When the seven thunders
sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky
saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don't
write them.
{10:5} The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land
lifted up his right hand to the sky, {10:6} and swore by him who lives
forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it,
the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things
that are in it, that there will no longer be delay, {10:7} but in the
days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound,
then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants,
the prophets. {10:8} The voice which I heard from heaven, again
speaking with me, said, Go, take the book which is open in the hand
of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.
{10:9} I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book.
He said to me, Take it, and eat it up. It will make your stomach
bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.
{10:10} I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it
up. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my
stomach was made bitter. {10:11} They told me, You must prophesy
again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.

[HNV] Jeremiah 28, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Jeremiah, starting at chapter 28
{28:1} It happened the same year, in the beginning of the reign of
Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that
Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me
in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all
the people, saying, {28:2} Thus speaks the LORD of Hosts, the God of
Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. {28:3}
Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the
vessels of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took
away from this place, and carried to Babylon: {28:4} and I will bring
again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with
all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon, says the LORD; for I
will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. {28:5} Then the prophet
Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests,
and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of the
LORD, {28:6} even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so; the
LORD perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the
vessels of the LORD's house, and all them of the captivity, from
Babylon to this place. {28:7} Nevertheless hear you now this word that
I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people: {28:8} The
prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied
against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of
evil, and of pestilence. {28:9} The prophet who prophesies of peace,
when the word of the prophet shall happen, then shall the prophet be
known, that the LORD has truly sent him. {28:10} Then Hananiah the
prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke
it. {28:11} Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying,
Thus says the LORD: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the
nations. The prophet Jeremiah went his way. {28:12} Then the word of
the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken
the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, {28:13} Go,
and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus says the LORD: You have broken the
bars of wood; but you have made in their place bars of iron. {28:14}
For thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: I have put a yoke
of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have
given him the animals of the field also. {28:15} Then the prophet
Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah: the LORD
has not sent you; but you make this people to trust in a lie. {28:16}
Therefore thus says the LORD, Behold, I will send you away from off
the surface of the earth: this year you shall die, because you have
spoken rebellion against the LORD. {28:17} So Hananiah the prophet
died the same year in the seventh month.
{29:1} Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the
prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the
captivity, and to the priests, to the prophets, and to all the people,
whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to
Babylon, {29:2} (after that Jeconiah the king, the queen mother, the
eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the
smiths, had departed from Jerusalem), {29:3} by the hand of Elasah the
son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king
of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), saying,
{29:4} Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, to all the
captivity, whom I have caused to be carried away captive from
Jerusalem to Babylon: {29:5} Build houses, and dwell in them; and
plant gardens, and eat their fruit. {29:6} Take wives, and father sons
and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters
to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply
there, and don't be diminished. {29:7} Seek the peace of the city
where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the
LORD for it; for in its peace you shall have peace. {29:8} For thus
says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Don't let your prophets who
are in the midst of you, and your diviners, deceive you; neither
listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. {29:9} For they
prophesy falsely to you in my name: I have not sent them, says the
LORD. {29:10} For thus says the LORD, After seventy years are
accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you, and perform my good word
toward you, in causing you to return to this place. {29:11} For I know
the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of
peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. {29:12} You
shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen
to you. {29:13} You shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 9
{9:1} The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which
had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to
him. {9:2} He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of
the pit, like the smoke from a[1] burning furnace. The sun and the air
were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. {9:3} Then out of the
smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as
the scorpions of the earth have power. {9:4} They were told that they
should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing,
neither any tree, but only those people who don't have God's seal on
their foreheads. {9:5} They were given power not to kill them, but to
torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a
scorpion, when it strikes a person. {9:6} In those days people will
seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and
death will flee from them. {9:7} The shapes of the locusts were like
horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden
crowns, and their faces were like people's faces. {9:8} They had hair
like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions. {9:9}
They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their
wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to
war. {9:10} They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In
their tails they have power to harm men for five months. {9:11} They
have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is
[2]Abaddon,[2] but in Greek, he has the name [3]Apollyon.[3]
{9:12} The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming
after this.
{9:13} The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of
the golden altar which is before God, {9:14} saying to the sixth angel
who had one [4]shofar[4], Free the four angels who are bound at the
great river Euphrates!
{9:15} The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that
hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of
mankind. {9:16} The number of the armies of the horsemen was [5]two
hundred million[5]. I heard the number of them. {9:17} Thus I saw the
horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates
of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of
lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur. {9:18} By
these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the fire, the
smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths. {9:19} For
the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For
their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they
harm. {9:20} The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these
plagues, didn't repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn't
worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass,
and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
{9:21} They didn't repent of their murders, nor of their
[6]sorceries,[6] nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.

[HNV] Jeremiah 22, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Jeremiah, starting at chapter 22
{22:1} Thus said the LORD: Go down to the house of the king of
Judah, and speak there this word, {22:2} Say, Hear the word of the
LORD, king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your
servants, and your people who enter in by these gates. {22:3} Thus
says the LORD: Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who
is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no
violence, to the foreigner, the fatherless, nor the widow; neither
shed innocent blood in this place. {22:4} For if you do this thing
indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings
sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he,
and his servants, and his people. {22:5} But if you will not hear
these words, I swear by myself, says the LORD, that this house shall
become a desolation. {22:6} For thus says the LORD concerning the
house of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon.
Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not
inhabited. {22:7} I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with
his weapons; and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast them
into the fire. {22:8} Many nations shall pass by this city, and they
shall say every man to his neighbor, Why has the LORD done thus to
this great city? {22:9} Then they shall answer, Because they forsook
the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshiped other gods, and
served them. {22:10} Don't weep for the dead, neither bemoan him; but
weep bitterly for him who goes away; for he shall return no more, nor
see his native country. {22:11} For thus says the LORD touching
Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of
Josiah his father, and who went forth out of this place: He shall not
return there any more. {22:12} But in the place where they have led
him captive, there shall he die, and he shall see this land no more.
{22:13} Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his
rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor's service without wages, and
doesn't give him his hire; {22:14} who says, I will build me a wide
house and spacious rooms, and cuts him out windows; and it is ceiling
with cedar, and painted with vermilion. {22:15} Shall you reign,
because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn't your father eat and
drink, and do justice and righteousness? then it was well with him.
{22:16} He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well.
Wasn't this to know me? says the LORD. {22:17} But your eyes and your
heart are not but for your covetousness, and for shedding innocent
blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it. {22:18}
Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah,
king of Judah: they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother!
or, Ah sister! They shall not lament for him, saying Ah lord! or, Ah
his glory! {22:19} He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey,
drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem. {22:20} Go up to
Lebanon, and cry; and lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from
Abarim; for all your lovers are destroyed. {22:21} I spoke to you in
your prosperity; but you said, I will not hear. This has been your way
from your youth, that you didn't obey my voice. {22:22} The wind shall
feed all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity:
surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your
wickedness. {22:23} Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the
cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you,
the pain as of a woman in travail! {22:24} As I live, says the LORD,
though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my
right hand, yet would I pluck you there; {22:25} and I will give you
into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them
of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon, and into the hand of the Kasdim. {22:26} I will cast you out,
and your mother who bore you, into another country, where you were not
born; and there you will die. {22:27} But to the land whereunto their
soul longs to return, there shall they not return. {22:28} Is this man
Coniah a despised broken vessel? is he a vessel in which none
delights? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into
the land which they don't know? {22:29} O earth, earth, earth, hear
the word of the LORD. {22:30} Thus says the LORD, Write you this man
childless, a man who shall not prosper in his days; for no more shall
a man of his seed prosper, sitting on the throne of David, and ruling
in Judah.
{23:1} Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my
pasture! says the LORD. {23:2} Therefore thus says the LORD, the God
of Israel, against the shepherds who feed my people: You have
scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them;
behold, I will visit on you
[HNV] Jeremiah 19, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Jeremiah, starting at chapter 19
{19:1} Thus said the LORD, Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle,
and take some of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the
priests; {19:2} and go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which
is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that
I shall tell you; {19:3} and say, Hear the word of the LORD, kings of
Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says the LORD of Hosts, the
God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever
hears, his ears shall tingle. {19:4} Because they have forsaken me,
and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other
gods, that they didn't know, they and their fathers and the kings of
Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents, {19:5}
and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire
for burnt offerings to Baal; which I didn't command, nor spoke it,
neither came it into my mind: {19:6} therefore, behold, the days come,
says the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor
The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter. {19:7} I
will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I
will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the
hand of those who seek their life: and their dead bodies will I give
to be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.
{19:8} I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; everyone
who passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all its
plagues. {19:9} I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and
the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat everyone the flesh of
his friend, in the siege and in the distress, with which their
enemies, and those who seek their life, shall distress them. {19:10}
Then you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with
you, {19:11} and shall tell them, Thus says the LORD of Hosts: Even so
will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's
vessel, that can't be made whole again; and they shall bury in
Topheth, until there is no place to bury. {19:12} Thus will I do to
this place, says the LORD, and to its inhabitants, even making this
city as Topheth: {19:13} and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses
of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of
Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense
to all the army of the sky, and have poured out drink offerings to
other gods. {19:14} Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, where the LORD
had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD's
house, and said to all the people: {19:15} Thus says the LORD of
Hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring on this city and on all
its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they
have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.
{20:1} Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief
officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these
things. {20:2} Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him
in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in
the house of the LORD. {20:3} It happened on the next day, that
Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said
to him, the LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
{20:4} For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will make you a terror to
yourself, and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of
their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I will give all Judah
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive
to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword. {20:5} Moreover I will
give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the
precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah
will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a
prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. {20:6} You, Pashhur,
and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall
come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be
buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied
falsely. {20:7} LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you
are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock
all the day, every one mocks me. {20:8} For as often as I speak, I cry
out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of the LORD is
made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day. {20:9} If I say, I
will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then
there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones,
and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't. {20:10} For I have heard
the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will
denounce him, say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my
fall; perhaps

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 6
{6:1} I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard
one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder,
Come and see! {6:2} And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it
had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and
to conquer.
{6:3} When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living
creature saying, Come! {6:4} Another came forth, a red horse. To him
who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that
they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.
{6:5} When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living
creature saying, Come and see! And behold, a black horse, and he who
sat on it had a balance in his hand. {6:6} I heard a voice in the
midst of the four living creatures saying, A [1]choenix[1] of wheat
for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don't
damage the oil and the wine!
{6:7} When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living
creature saying, Come and see! {6:8} And behold, a pale horse, and
he who sat on it, his name was Death. [2]Sheol[2] followed with him.
Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with
famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to
him.
{6:9} When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the
souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the
testimony of the Lamb which they had. {6:10} They cried with a loud
voice, saying, How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge
and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth? {6:11} A long
white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should
rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their
[3]brothers,[3] who would also be killed even as they were, should
complete their course.
{6:12} I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great
earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the
whole moon became as blood. {6:13} The stars of the sky fell to the
earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a
great wind. {6:14} The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled
up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places. {6:15}
The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the
rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in
the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. {6:16} They told the
mountains and the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him
who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, {6:17} for the
great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?

shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in

concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning

their father in this land: {16:4} They shall die grievous deaths: they
shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as

says the LORD, Don't enter into the house of mourning, neither go to
lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this
people, says the LORD, even loving kindness and tender mercies. {16:6}
Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried,
neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make
themselves bald for them; {16:7} neither shall men break bread for
them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give
them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their
mother. {16:8} You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with
them, to eat and to drink. {16:9} For thus says the LORD of Hosts, the
God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before
your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of
gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
{16:10} It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these
words, and they shall tell you, Why has the LORD pronounced all this
great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin
that we have committed against the LORD our God? {16:11} Then you
shall tell them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, says the LORD,
and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have
worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
{16:12} and you have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold,
you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that
you don't listen to me: {16:13} therefore will I cast you forth out of
this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your
fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; for I
will show you no favor. {16:14} Therefore behold, the days come, says
the LORD, that it shall no more be said, As the LORD lives, who
brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; {16:15}
but, As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the
land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven
them. I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their
fathers. {16:16} Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says the
LORD, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many
hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every
hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks. {16:17} For my eyes are on
all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither is their
iniquity concealed from my eyes. {16:18} First I will recompense their
iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with
the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my
inheritance with their abominations. {16:19} LORD, my strength, and my
stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the
nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers
have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is
no profit. {16:20} Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no
gods? {16:21} Therefore behold, I will cause them to know, this once
will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know
that my name is the LORD.
{17:1} The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the
point of a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and
on the horns of your altars; {17:2} while their children remember
their altars and their Asherim by the green trees on the high hills.
{17:3} My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all
your treasures for a spoil, and your high places, because of sin,
throughout all your borders. {17:4} You, even of yourself, shall
discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you
to serve your enemies in the land which you don't know: for you have
kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever. {17:5} Thus says
the LORD: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his
arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD. {17:6} For he shall be
like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but
shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and
not inhabited. {17:7} Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 5
{5:1} I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book
written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals. {5:2} I saw
a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open
the book, and to break its seals? {5:3} No one in heaven above, or on
the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look
in it. {5:4} And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open
the book, or to look in it. {5:5} One of the elders said to me, Don't
weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of
David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals. {5:6}
I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and
in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been
slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits
of God, sent out into all the earth. {5:7} Then he came, and he took
it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. {5:8} Now when
he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four
elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden
bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones. {5:9}
They sang a new song, saying,
You are worthy to take the book,
and to open its seals:
for you were killed,
and bought us for God with your blood,
out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
{5:10} and made us kings and priests to our God,
and we will reign on earth.
{5:11} I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels
around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the
number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of
thousands; {5:12} saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb who
has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor,
glory, and blessing!
{5:13} I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth,
under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, To him
who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor,
the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! [1]Amen![1]
{5:14} The four living creatures said, Amen! The [2]elders fell
down and worshiped.[3]

[HNV] Jeremiah 13, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Jeremiah, starting at chapter 13
{13:1} Thus says the LORD to me, Go, and buy yourself a linen belt,
and put it on your waist, and don't put it in water. {13:2} So I
bought a belt according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my
waist. {13:3} The word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying,
{13:4} Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and
arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.
{13:5} So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded
me. {13:6} It happened after many days, that the LORD said to me,
Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I
commanded you to hide there. {13:7} Then I went to the Euphrates, and
dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and
behold, the belt was marred, it was profitable for nothing. {13:8}
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, {13:9} Thus says the
LORD, In this way I will mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride
of Jerusalem. {13:10} This evil people, who refuse to hear my words,
who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other
gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this belt,
which is profitable for nothing. {13:11} For as the belt clings to the
waist of a man, so have I caused to cling to me the whole house of
Israel and the whole house of Judah, says the LORD; that they may be
to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory:
but they would not hear. {13:12} Therefore you shall speak to them
this word: Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, Every bottle shall
be filled with wine: and they shall tell you, Do we not certainly know
that every bottle shall be filled with wine? {13:13} Then you shall
tell them, Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants
of this land, even the kings who sit on David's throne, and the
priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with
drunkenness. {13:14} I will dash them one against another, even the
fathers and the sons together, says the LORD: I will not pity, nor
spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them. {13:15}
Hear, and give ear; don't be proud; for the LORD has spoken. {13:16}
Give glory to the LORD your God, before he causes darkness, and before
your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for
light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross
darkness. {13:17} But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in
secret for your pride; and my eye shall weep bitterly, and run down
with tears, because the LORD's flock is taken captive. {13:18} Say to
the king and to the queen mother, Humble yourselves, sit down; for
your headdresses have come down, even the crown of your glory. {13:19}
The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them:
Judah is carried away captive, all of it; it is wholly carried away
captive. {13:20} Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the
north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
{13:21} What will you say, when he shall set over you as head those
whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? shall not sorrows
take hold of you, as of a woman in travail? {13:22} If you say in your
heart, Why are these things come on me? for the greatness of your
iniquity are your skirts uncovered, and your heels suffer violence.
{13:23} Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil. {13:24}
Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the
wind of the wilderness. {13:25} This is your lot, the portion measured
to you from me, says the LORD; because you have forgotten me, and
trusted in falsehood. {13:26} Therefore will I also uncover your
skirts on your face, and your shame shall appear. {13:27} I have seen
your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the
lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you,
Jerusalem! You will not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?
{14:1} The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the
drought. {14:2} Judah mourns, and its gates languish, they sit in
black on the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. {14:3} Their
nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the
cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty;
they are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads. {14:4}
Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in
the land, the plowmen are disappointed, they cover their heads. {14:5}
Yes, the hind also in the field calves, and forsakes her young,
because there is no grass. {14:6} The wild donkeys stand on the bare
heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because
there is no herbage. {14:7} Though our iniquities testify against us,
work for your name's sake, LORD; for

Jeremiah, starting at chapter 10
{10:1} Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, house of Israel!
{10:2} Thus says the LORD, Don't learn the way of the nations, and
don't be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are
dismayed at them. {10:3} For the customs of the peoples are vanity;
for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the
workman with the axe. {10:4} They deck it with silver and with gold;
they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it not move. {10:5}
They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don't speak: they must
be carried, because they can't go. Don't be afraid of them; for they
can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good. {10:6} There is none
like you, LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might. {10:7}
Who should not fear you, King of the nations? For it appertains to
you; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their
royal estate, there is none like you. {10:8} But they are together
brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.
{10:9} There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from
Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the
hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are
all the work of skillful men. {10:10} But the LORD is the true God; he
is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth
trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation.
{10:11} You shall say this to them: The gods that have not made the
heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from
under the heavens. {10:12} He has made the earth by his power, he has
established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he
stretched out the heavens: {10:13} when he utters his voice, there is
a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend
from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and
brings forth the wind out of his treasuries. {10:14} Every man has
become brutish and without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed
by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is
no breath in them. {10:15} They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the
time of their visitation they shall perish. {10:16} The portion of
Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and
Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: the LORD of Hosts is his name.
{10:17} Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under
siege. {10:18} For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the
inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that
they may feel it. {10:19} Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is
grievous: but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.
{10:20} My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children
are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread
my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. {10:21} For the shepherds
are become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD: therefore they
have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered. {10:22} The
voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the
north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling
place of jackals. {10:23} LORD, I know that the way of man is not in
himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps. {10:24} LORD,
correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest you bring me to
nothing. {10:25} Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know
you, and on the families that don't call on your name: for they have
devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have
laid waste his habitation.
{11:1} The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, {11:2}
Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to
the inhabitants of Jerusalem; {11:3} and say to them, Thus says the
LORD, the God of Israel: Cursed is the man who doesn't hear the words
of this covenant, {11:4} which I commanded your fathers in the day
that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron
furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I
command you: so you shall be my people, and I will be your God; {11:5}
that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give
them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then answered
I, and said, Amen, LORD. {11:6} The LORD said to me, Proclaim all
these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem,
saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and do them. {11:7} For I
earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up
out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and
protesting, saying, Obey my voice. {11:8} Yet they didn't obey, nor
turn their ear, but walked everyone in the stubbornness of their evil
heart: therefore I brought on them all the words of

Jeremiah, starting at chapter 7
{7:1} The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, {7:2}
Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word,
and say, 'Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah, who enter in at
these gates to worship the LORD. {7:3} Thus says the LORD of Hosts,
the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause
you to dwell in this place. {7:4} Don't trust in lying words, saying,
the LORD's temple, the LORD's temple, the LORD's temple, are these.
{7:5} For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you
thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor; {7:6} if
you don't oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and
don't shed innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods
to your own hurt: {7:7} then will I cause you to dwell in this place,
in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forevermore.
{7:8} Behold, you trust in lying words, that can't profit. {7:9} Will
you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn
incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,
{7:10} and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by
my name, and say, We are delivered; that you may do all these
abominations? {7:11} Is this house, which is called by my name, become
a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says
the LORD. {7:12} But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I
caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the
wickedness of my people Israel. {7:13} Now, because you have done all
these works, says the LORD, and I spoke to you, rising up early and
speaking, but you didn't hear; and I called you, but you didn't
answer: {7:14} therefore will I do to the house which is called by my
name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to
your fathers, as I did to Shiloh. {7:15} I will cast you out of my
sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole seed of
Ephraim. {7:16} Therefore don't pray for this people, neither lift up
a cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will
not hear you. {7:17} Don't you see what they do in the cities of Judah
and in the streets of Jerusalem? {7:18} The children gather wood, and
the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make
cakes to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to
other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. {7:19} Do they provoke
me to anger? says the LORD. Don't they provoke themselves, to the
confusion of their own faces? {7:20} Therefore thus says the Lord GOD:
Behold, my anger and my wrath shall be poured out on this place, on
man, and on animal, and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of
the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. {7:21} Thus
says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to
your sacrifices, and eat meat. {7:22} For I didn't speak to your
fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the
land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: {7:23} but
this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to my voice, and I will be
your God, and you shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I
command you, that it may be well with you. {7:24} But they didn't
listen nor turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the
stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
{7:25} Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of
Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets,
daily rising up early and sending them: {7:26} yet they didn't listen
to me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did
worse than their fathers. {7:27} You shall speak all these words to
them; but they will not listen to you: you shall also call to them;
but they will not answer you. {7:28} You shall tell them, This is the
nation that has not listened to the voice of the LORD their God, nor
received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their
mouth. {7:29} Cut off your hair, and throw it away, and take up a
lamentation on the bare heights; for the LORD has rejected and
forsaken the generation of his wrath. {7:30} For the children of Judah
have done that which is evil in my sight, says the LORD: they have set
their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile
it. {7:31} They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the
valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in
the fire; which I didn't command, nor did it come into my mind. {7:32}
Therefore behold, the days come, says the LORD, that it shall no more
be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley
of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, until there is no place
to bury. {7:33} The dead bodies of this people

{2:1} To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write:
He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among
the seven golden menorahs says these things:
{2:2} I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that
you can't tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves
emissaries, and they are not, and found them false. {2:3} You have
perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have[1] not
grown weary. {2:4} But I have this against you, that you left your
first love. {2:5} Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and
repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and
will move your menorah out of its place, unless you repent. {2:6} But
this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I
also hate. {2:7} He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree
of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.
{2:8} To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write:
The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says
these things:
{2:9} I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are
rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are
not, but are a synagogue of Satan. {2:10} Don't be afraid of the
things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to
throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will
have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give
you the crown of life. {2:11} He who has an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the
second death.
{2:12} To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write:
He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
{2:13} I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan's throne
is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn't deny my faith in the days
of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you,
where Satan dwells. {2:14} But I have a few things against you,
because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who
taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel,
to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
{2:15} So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the
Nicolaitans likewise[2]. {2:16} Repent therefore, or else I am coming
to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my
mouth. {2:17} He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to
the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden
[3]manna,[3] and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a
new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.
{2:18} To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write:
The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet
are like burnished brass, says these things:
{2:19} I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient
endurance, and that your last works are more than the first. {2:20}
But I have this against you, that you tolerate [4]your[4] woman,
Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my
servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to
idols. {2:21} I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of
her sexual immorality. {2:22} Behold, I will throw her into a
[5]bed,[5] and those who commit adultery with her into great
oppression, unless they repent of her works. {2:23} I will kill her
children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who
searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you
according to your deeds. {2:24} But to you I say, to the rest who are
in Thyatira, as many as don't have this teaching, who don't know what
some call 'the deep things of Satan,' to you I say, I am not putting
any other burden on you. {2:25} Nevertheless, hold that which you have
firmly until I come. {2:26} He who overcomes, and he who keeps my
works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
{2:27} He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay
pots;[6] as I also have received of my Father: {2:28} and I will give
him the morning star. {2:29} He who has an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit says to the assemblies.

{4:3} For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem,
Break up your fallow ground, and don't sow among thorns. {4:4}
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your
heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go
forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the
evil of your doings. {4:5} Declare in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem;
and say, 'Blow the [1]shofar[1] in the land!' Cry aloud and say,
'Assemble yourselves! Let us go into the fortified cities!' {4:6} Set
up a standard toward Zion. Flee for safety! Don't wait; for I will
bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
{4:7} A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of
nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make
your land desolate, that your cities be laid waste, without
inhabitant. {4:8} For this clothe yourself with sackcloth, lament and
wail; for the fierce anger of the LORD hasn't turned back from us.
{4:9} It shall happen at that day, says the LORD, that the heart of
the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests
shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
{4:10} Then I said, Ah, Lord GOD! Surely you have greatly deceived
this people and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall have peace;' whereas the
sword reaches to the heart.
{4:11} At that time shall it be said to this people and to
Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward
the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse; {4:12} a
full wind from these shall come for me. Now I will also utter
judgments against them.
{4:13} Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be
as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! For
we are ruined. {4:14} Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that
you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?
{4:15} For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the
hills of Ephraim: {4:16} Tell the nations; behold, publish against
Jerusalem, 'Watchers come from a far country, and raise their voice
against the cities of Judah. {4:17} As keepers of a field, they are
against her all around, because she has been rebellious against me,'
says the LORD. {4:18} Your way and your doings have brought these
things to you. This is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it
reaches to your heart.
{4:19} My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my
heart is disquieted in me; I can't hold my peace; because you have
heard, O my soul, the sound of the [2]shofar[2], the alarm of war.
{4:20} Destruction on destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid
waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.
{4:21} How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the
[3]shofar[3]?
{4:22} For my people are foolish, they don't know me. They are
foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in
doing evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. {4:23} I saw the
earth, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they
had no light. {4:24} I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled,
and all the hills moved back and forth. {4:25} I saw, and behold,
there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled. {4:26} I saw,
and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities
were broken down at the presence of the LORD, before his fierce anger.
{4:27} For thus says the LORD, The whole land shall be a desolation;
yet will I not make a full end. {4:28} For this the earth will mourn,
and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have
purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from
it.
{4:29} Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers;
they go into the thickets, and climb up on the rocks: every city is
forsaken, and not a man dwells therein. {4:30} You, when you are made
desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet,
though you deck you with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your
eyes with paint, in vain do you make yourself beautiful; your lovers
despise you, they seek your life. {4:31} For I have heard a voice as
of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who brings forth her
first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath,
who spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! For my soul faints
before the murderers.
{5:1} Run back and forth through the streets of Jerusalem, and see
now, and know, and seek in the

The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 1
{1:1} This is the Revelation of Yeshua the Messiah, which God gave
him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which
he sent and made known by his [1]angel[1] to his servant, Yochanan,
{1:2} who testified to God's word, and of the testimony of Yeshua the
Messiah, about everything that he saw.
{1:3} Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the
prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is
at hand.
{1:4} Yochanan, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to
you and peace, from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and
from the seven Spirits who are before his throne; {1:5} and from
Yeshua the Messiah, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead,
and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and
washed us from our sins by his blood; {1:6} and he made us to be a
Kingdom, priests[2] to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the
dominion forever and ever. Amen.
{1:7} Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see
him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will
mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
{1:8} I am the Alef and the Tav,[3] says the Lord [4]God,[4]
who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
{1:9} I Yochanan, your brother and partner with you in oppression,
Kingdom, and perseverance in Messiah Yeshua, was on the isle that is
called Patmos because of God's Word and the testimony of Yeshua the
Messiah. {1:10} I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard
behind me a loud voice, like a [5]shofar[5] {1:11} saying, [6]What
you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies[7]: to
Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to
Laodicea.
{1:12} I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned,
I saw seven golden menorahs. {1:13} And among the menorahs was one
like a son of man,[8] clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet,
and with a golden sash around his chest. {1:14} His head and his hair
were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of
fire. {1:15} His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been
refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
{1:16} He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth
proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining
at its brightest. {1:17} When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a
dead man.
He laid his right hand on me, saying, Don't be afraid. I am the
first and the last, {1:18} and the Living one. I was dead, and behold,
I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of
[9]Sheol[9]. {1:19} Write therefore the things which you have seen,
and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter;
{1:20} the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand,
and the seven golden menorahs. The seven stars are the
[10]angels[10] of the seven assemblies. The seven menorahs are seven
assemblies.

[HNV] Jeremiah 1, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Jeremiah, starting at chapter 1
{1:1} The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who
were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: {1:2} to whom the word of
[1]the LORD[1] came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of
Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. {1:3} It came also in the
days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the
eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the
carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month. {1:4} Now the
word of the LORD came to me, saying, {1:5} Before I formed you in the
belly, I knew you. Before you came forth out of the womb, I sanctified
you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations. {1:6} Then I
said, Ah, [2]Lord[2] the LORD! Behold, I don't know how to speak;
for I am a child.
{1:7} But the LORD said to me, Don't say, 'I am a child;' for to
whoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command
you, you shall speak. {1:8} Don't be afraid because of them; for I am
with you to deliver you, says the LORD. {1:9} Then the LORD put forth
his hand, and touched my mouth; and the LORD said to me, Behold, I
have put my words in your mouth. {1:10} Behold, I have this day set
you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break
down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant. {1:11}
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do
you see?
I said, I see a branch of an almond tree.
{1:12} Then the LORD said to me, You have seen well; for I watch
over my word to perform it.
{1:13} The word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying,
What do you see?
I said, I see a boiling caldron; and it is tipping away from the
north.
{1:14} Then the LORD said to me, Out of the north evil will break
out on all the inhabitants of the land. {1:15} For, behold, I will
call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the LORD;
and they shall come, and they shall each set his throne at the
entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all
around, and against all the cities of Judah. {1:16} I will utter my
judgments against them touching all their wickedness, in that they
have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped
the works of their own hands.
{1:17} You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and speak
to them all that I command you. Don't be dismayed at them, lest I
dismay you before them. {1:18} For, behold, I have made you this day a
fortified city, and an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the
whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against
its priests, and against the people of the land. {1:19} They will
fight against you; but they will not prevail against you; for I am
with you, says the LORD, to deliver you.
{2:1} The word of the LORD came to me, saying, {2:2} Go, and cry in
the ears of Jerusalem, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, I remember for
you the kindness of your youth, the love of your weddings; how you
went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. {2:3}
Israel was holiness to the LORD, the first fruits of his increase. All
who devour him shall be held guilty. Evil shall come on them,' says
the LORD.
{2:4} Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the
families of the house of Israel! {2:5} Thus says the LORD, What
unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far
from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? {2:6}
Neither did they say, 'Where is the LORD who brought us up out of the
land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of
deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of
death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man
lived?' {2:7} I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat its fruit
and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made
my heritage an abomination. {2:8} The priests didn't say, 'Where is
the LORD?' and those who handle the law didn't know me. The rulers
also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and
walked after things that do not profit.
{2:9} Therefore I will yet contend with you, says the LORD, and I
will contend with your children's children. {2:10} For pass over to
the islands of Kittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider
diligently; and see if there has been such a thing. {2:11} Has a
nation changed its gods, which really are no gods? But my people have
changed their glory for that which does not profit.
{2:12} Be astonished, you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid.
Be very desolate, says the LORD. {2:13} For my people have committed
two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut
them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. {2:14} Is
Israel a servant? Is he a native-born slave? Why has he become a prey?
[HNV] Yochanan's Third Letter 1, World English Bible: Messianic Edition

Yochanan's Third Letter, Chapter 1
{1:1} The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
{1:2} Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be
healthy, even as your soul prospers. {1:3} For I rejoiced greatly,
when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in
truth. {1:4} I have no greater joy than this, to hear about my
children walking in truth.
{1:5} Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for
those who are brothers and strangers. {1:6} They have testified about
your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward
on their journey in a way worthy of God, {1:7} because for the sake of
the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles. {1:8} We
therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the
truth.
{1:9} I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first
among them, doesn't accept what we say. {1:10} Therefore if I come, I
will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us
with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself
receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out
of the assembly. {1:11} Beloved, don't imitate that which is evil, but
that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil
hasn't seen God. {1:12} Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the
truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is
true.
{1:13} I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to
write to you with ink and pen; {1:14} but I hope to see you soon, and
we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you.
Greet the friends by name.

[HNV] Isaiah 61, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 61
{61:1} The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on me;
because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the humble.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and release to those who are bound;
{61:2} to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor, and the day of
vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; {61:3} to
appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland
for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of
righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be
glorified.
{61:4} They shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former
desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the
desolations of many generations. {61:5} Strangers shall stand
and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and
your vinedressers. {61:6} But you shall be named the priests of
the LORD; men will call you the ministers of our God: you will
eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their
glory.
{61:7} Instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of
dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in
their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be
to them.
{61:8} For I, the LORD, love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity;
and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make
an everlasting covenant with them. {61:9} Their seed shall be
known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples;
all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed
which the LORD has blessed.
{61:10} I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in
my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a
bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns
herself with her jewels. {61:11} For as the earth brings forth
its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in
it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness
and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
{62:1} For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's
sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as
brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns. {62:2} The
nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory,
and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the
LORD shall name. {62:3} You shall also be a crown of beauty in
the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your
God. {62:4} You shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall
your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called
Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you,
and your land shall be married. {62:5} For as a young man
marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the
bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice
over you. {62:6} I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem;
they shall never hold their peace day nor night: you who call
on the LORD, take no rest, {62:7} and give him no rest, until
he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the
earth.
{62:8} The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his
strength,
Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies;
and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you
have labored: {62:9} but those who have garnered it shall eat
it, and praise the LORD; and those who have gathered it shall
drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
{62:10} Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way of the
people! Cast up, cast up the highway! Gather out the stones!
Lift up a banner for the peoples. {62:11} Behold, the LORD has
proclaimed to the end of the earth,
Say to the daughter of Zion,
'Behold, your salvation comes.
Behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.'
{62:12} They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of the
LORD: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
{63:1} Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from
Bozrah? this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the
greatness of his strength?
It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
{63:2} Why are you red in your clothing, and your garments like him
who treads in the wine vat?
{63:3} I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there
was no man with me: yes, I trod them in my anger, and trampled

Yochanan's Second Letter, Chapter 1
{1:1} The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in
truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth; {1:2}
for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us
forever: {1:3} Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the
Father, and from the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of the Father,
in truth and love.
{1:4} I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children
walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father. {1:5}
Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new
commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love
one another. {1:6} This is love, that we should walk according to his
commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the
beginning, that you should walk in it. {1:7} For many deceivers have
gone out into the world, those who don't confess that Yeshua the
Messiah came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Anti-messiah.
{1:8} Watch yourselves, that we don't lose the things which we have
accomplished, but that we receive a full reward. {1:9} Whoever
transgresses and doesn't remain in the teaching of Messiah, doesn't
have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father
and the Son. {1:10} If anyone comes to you, and doesn't bring this
teaching, don't receive him into your house, and don't welcome him,
{1:11} for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.
{1:12} Having many things to write to you, I don't want to do so
with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to
face, that our joy may be made full. {1:13} The children of your
chosen sister greet you. Amen.

[HNV] Isaiah 58, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 58
{58:1} Cry aloud, don't spare, lift up your voice like a
[1]shofar[1], and declare to my people their disobedience,
and to the house of Jacob their sins. {58:2} Yet they seek me
daily, and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did
righteousness, and didn't forsake the ordinance of their God,
they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near
to God. {58:3} 'Why have we fasted,' say they, 'and you don't
see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge?'
Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your
labors. {58:4} Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and
to strike with the fist of wickedness: you don't fast this day
so as to make your voice to be heard on high. {58:5} Is such
the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his
soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread
sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast, and
an acceptable day to the LORD?
{58:6} Isn't this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds
of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the
oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? {58:7} Isn't
it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring
the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the
naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from
your own flesh? {58:8} Then your light shall break forth as the
morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily; and your
righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall
be your rear guard.
{58:9} Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry,
and he will say, 'Here I am.'
If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of
the finger, and speaking wickedly; {58:10} and if you draw out
your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then
your light shall rise in darkness, and your obscurity be as the
noonday; {58:11} and the LORD will guide you continually, and
satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones;
and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of
water, whose waters don't fail. {58:12} Those who shall be of
you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the
foundations of many generations; and you shall be called The
repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
{58:13} If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your
pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, and
the holy of the LORD honorable; and shall honor it, not doing
your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your
own words: {58:14} then you shall delight yourself in the LORD;
and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth;
and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father:
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
{59:1} Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it can't save;
neither his ear heavy, that it can't hear: {59:2} but your
iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your
sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
{59:3} For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers
with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters
wickedness. {59:4} None sues in righteousness, and none pleads
in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive
mischief, and bring forth iniquity. {59:5} They hatch adders'
eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs
dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper. {59:6}
Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover
themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity,
and the act of violence is in their hands. {59:7} Their feet
run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their
thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction
are in their paths. {59:8} The way of peace they don't know;
and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them
crooked paths; whoever goes therein does not know peace. {59:9}
Therefore is justice far from us, neither does righteousness
overtake us: we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for
brightness, but we walk in obscurity. {59:10} We grope for the
wall like the blind; yes, we grope as those who have no eyes:
we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among those who are
lusty we are as dead men. {59:11} We roar all like bears, and
moan bitterly like doves: we look for

Isaiah, starting at chapter 55
{55:1} Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! Come, he who has no
money, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money
and without price. {55:2} Why do you spend money for that which
is not bread? and your labor for that which doesn't satisfy?
listen diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and
let your soul delight itself in fatness. {55:3} Turn your ear,
and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make
an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of
David. {55:4} Behold, I have given him for a witness to the
peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples. {55:5} Behold,
you shall call a nation that you don't know; and a nation that
didn't know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God,
and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.
{55:6} Seek the LORD while he may be found; call you on him while he
is near: {55:7} let the wicked forsake his way, and the
unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the LORD,
and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will
abundantly pardon.
{55:8} For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways
my ways, says the LORD.
{55:9} For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
{55:10} For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky,
and doesn't return there, but waters the earth,
and makes it bring forth and bud,
and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
{55:11} so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return to me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
{55:12} For you shall go out with joy,
and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break
forth before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields
shall clap their hands. {55:13} Instead of the thorn shall come
up the fir tree; and instead of the brier shall come up the
myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an
everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
{56:1} Thus says the LORD, Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my
salvation [yeshuah-ti] is near to come, and my righteousness to
be revealed. {56:2} Blessed is the man who does this, and the
son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from
profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
{56:3} Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to the LORD,
speak, saying, The LORD will surely separate me from his
people; neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
{56:4} For thus says the LORD, To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,
and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my
covenant: {56:5} to them I will give in my house and within my
walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of
daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not
be cut off. {56:6} Also the foreigners who join themselves to
the LORD, to minister to him, and to love the name of the LORD,
to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from
profaning it, and holds fast my covenant; {56:7} even them will
I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house
of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be
accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of
prayer for all peoples.
{56:8} The Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, Yet
will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered.
{56:9} All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals
in the forest. {56:10} His watchmen are blind, they are all
without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can't bark;
dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber. {56:11} Yes, the dogs
are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds
who can't understand: they have all turned to their own way,
each one to his gain, from every quarter. {56:12} Come, say
they, I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong
drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure.
{57:1} The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart; and
merciful men are taken away, none considering that the
righteous is taken away from the evil. {57:2} He enters into
peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his
uprightness.
{57:3} But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the
adulterer and the prostitute. {57:4} Against whom do you sport
yourselves? Against whom do you make

Yochanan's First Letter, Chapter 4
{4:1} Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits,
whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out
into the world. {4:2} By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit
who confesses that Yeshua the Messiah has come in the flesh is of God,
{4:3} and every spirit who doesn't confess that Yeshua the Messiah has
come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the
Anti-messiah, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the
world already. {4:4} You are of God, little children, and have
overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in
the world. {4:5} They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the
world, and the world hears them. {4:6} We are of God. He who knows God
listens to us. He who is not of God doesn't listen to us. By this we
know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
{4:7} Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and
everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. {4:8} He who doesn't
love doesn't know God, for God is love. {4:9} By this God's love was
revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world
that we might live through him. {4:10} In this is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the [1]atoning
sacrifice[1] for our sins. {4:11} Beloved, if God loved us in this
way, we also ought to love one another. {4:12} No one has seen God at
any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has
been perfected in us.
{4:13} By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because
he has given us of his Spirit. {4:14} We have seen and testify that
the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. {4:15} Whoever
confesses that Yeshua is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in
God. {4:16} We know and have believed the love which God has for us.
God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God
remains in him. {4:17} In this love has been made perfect among us,
that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is,
even so are we in this world. {4:18} There is no fear in love; but
perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears
is not made perfect in love. {4:19} We love him, because he first
loved us. {4:20} If a man says, I love God, and hates his brother,
he is a liar; for he who doesn't love his brother whom he has seen,
how can he love God whom he has not seen? {4:21} This commandment we
have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

[HNV] Isaiah 52, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 52
{52:1} Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful
garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall
no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean. {52:2}
Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release
yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
{52:3} For thus says the LORD, You were sold for nothing; and
you shall be redeemed without money.
{52:4} For thus says the Lord GOD, My people went down at the first
into Egypt to live there: and the Assyrian has oppressed them
without cause.
{52:5} Now therefore, what do I do here, says the LORD, seeing that
my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them
mock, says the LORD, and my name continually all the day is
blasphemed. {52:6} Therefore my people shall know my name.
Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks;
behold, it is I.
{52:7} How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings
good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good,
who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns!
{52:8} The voice of your watchmen! they lift up the voice,
together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when the
LORD returns to Zion. {52:9} Break forth into joy, sing
together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has
comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. {52:10} The
LORD has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations;
and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our
God.
{52:11} Depart, depart, go out from there, touch no unclean thing! Go
out of the midst of her! Cleanse yourselves, you who bear the
vessels of the LORD. {52:12} For you shall not go out in haste,
neither shall you go by flight: for the LORD will go before
you; and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
{52:13} Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and
lifted up, and shall be very high.
{52:14} Like as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred
more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
{52:15} so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their
mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they
see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand.
{53:1} Who has believed our message?
To whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
{53:2} For he grew up before him as a tender plant,
and as a root out of dry ground.
He has no good looks or majesty.
When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
{53:3} He was despised,
and rejected by men;
a man of suffering,
and acquainted with disease.
He was despised as one from whom men hide their face;
and we didn't respect him.
{53:4} Surely he has borne our sickness,
and carried our suffering;
yet we considered him plagued,
struck by God, and afflicted.
{53:5} But he was pierced for our transgressions.
He was crushed for our iniquities.
The punishment that brought our peace was on him;
and by his wounds we are healed.
{53:6} All we like sheep have gone astray.
Everyone has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
{53:7} He was oppressed,
yet when he was afflicted he didn't open his mouth.
As a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and as a sheep that before its shearers is mute,
so he didn't open his mouth.
{53:8} He was taken away by oppression and judgment;
and as for his generation,
who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living
and stricken for the disobedience of my people?
{53:9} They made his grave with the wicked,
and with a rich man in his death;
although he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his mouth.
{53:10} Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him.
He has caused him to suffer.
When you make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed.
He shall prolong his days,
and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
{53:11} After the suffering of his soul,
he will see the [1]light[1] and be satisfied.
My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself;
and he will bear their iniquities.
{53:12} Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;
because he poured out his soul to death,
and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
{54:1} Sing, barren, you who didn't bear; break forth into singing,
and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child: for more are
the children of the desolate than the children of the married
wife,

Yochanan's First Letter, Chapter 3
{3:1} Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that
we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't
know us, because it didn't know him. {3:2} Beloved, now we are
children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. But we
know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see
him just as he is. {3:3} Everyone who has this hope set on him
purifies himself, even as he is pure. {3:4} Everyone who sins also
commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness. {3:5} You know that he was
revealed to take away our sins, and in him is no sin. {3:6} Whoever
remains in him doesn't sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither
knows him.
{3:7} Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does
righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. {3:8} He who sins
is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To
this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works
of the devil. {3:9} Whoever is born of God doesn't commit sin, because
his seed remains in him; and he can't sin, because he is born of God.
{3:10} In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of
the devil. Whoever doesn't do righteousness is not of God, neither is
he who doesn't love his brother. {3:11} For this is the message which
you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; {3:12}
unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did
he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
{3:13} Don't be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you. {3:14}
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love
the brothers. He who doesn't love his brother remains in death. {3:15}
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer
has eternal life remaining in him.
{3:16} By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us.
And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. {3:17} But
whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and
closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God
remain in him? {3:18} My little children, let's not love in word only,
neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth. {3:19} And by
this we know that we are of the truth, and persuade our hearts before
him, {3:20} because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our
heart, and knows all things. {3:21} Beloved, if our hearts don't
condemn us, we have boldness toward God; {3:22} and whatever we ask,
we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the
things that are pleasing in his sight. {3:23} This is his commandment,
that we should believe in the name of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, and
love one another, even as he commanded. {3:24} He who keeps his
commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he
remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

[HNV] Isaiah 49, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 49
{49:1} Listen, islands, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: the
LORD has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother
has he made mention of my name: {49:2} and he has made my mouth
like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden
me: and he has made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he
kept me close: {49:3} and he said to me, You are my servant;
Israel, in whom I will be glorified. {49:4} But I said, I
have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and
vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with the LORD, and
my reward with my God.
{49:5} Now says the LORD who formed me from the womb to be his
servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be
gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of the LORD,
and my God has become my strength); {49:6} yes, he says, It is
too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the
tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will
also give you for a light to the nations, that you may be my
salvation to the end of the earth.
{49:7} Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One,
to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a
servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise; princes, and
they shall worship; because of the LORD who is faithful, even
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.
{49:8} Thus says the LORD, In an acceptable time have I answered you,
and in a day of salvation have I helped you; and I will
preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to
raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:
{49:9} saying to those who are bound, 'Come out!'; to those who
are in darkness, 'Show yourselves!'
They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their
pasture. {49:10} They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither
shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on
them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide
them. {49:11} I will make all my mountains a way, and my
highways shall be exalted. {49:12} Behold, these shall come
from far; and behold, these from the north and from the west;
and these from the land of Sinim.
{49:13} Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into
singing, mountains: for the LORD has comforted his people, and
will have compassion on his afflicted. {49:14} But Zion said,
The LORD has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.
{49:15} Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not
have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget,
yet I will not forget you! {49:16} Behold, I have engraved you
on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
{49:17} Your children make haste; your destroyers and those who
made you waste shall go forth from you. {49:18} Lift up your
eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together,
and come to you. As I live, says the LORD, you shall surely
clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress
yourself with them, like a bride.
{49:19} For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your
land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small
for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be
far away. {49:20} The children of your bereavement shall yet
say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to
me that I may dwell. {49:21} Then you will say in your heart,
'Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of
my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and
forth? Who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone;
these, where were they?'
{49:22} Thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the
nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall
bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be
carried on their shoulders. {49:23} Kings shall be your nursing
fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow
down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of
your feet; and you shall know that I am the LORD; and those who
wait for me shall not be disappointed.
{49:24} Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful
captives be delivered?
{49:25} But thus says the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall
be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered;
for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will
save your children. {49:26} I will feed those

Yochanan's First Letter, Chapter 2
{2:1} My little children, I write these things to you so that you
may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a [1]Counselor[1] with the
Father, Yeshua the Messiah, the righteous. {2:2} And he is the
[2]atoning sacrifice[2] for our sins, and not for ours only, but
also for the whole world. {2:3} This is how we know that we know him:
if we keep his commandments. {2:4} One who says, I know him, and
doesn't keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn't in him.
{2:5} But whoever keeps his word, God's love has most certainly been
perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him: {2:6} he who
says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
{2:7} Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old
commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is
the word which you heard from the beginning. {2:8} Again, I write a
new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the
darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines. {2:9} He
who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness
even until now. {2:10} He who loves his brother remains in the light,
and there is no occasion for stumbling in him. {2:11} But he who hates
his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn't
know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
{2:12} I write to you, little children, because your sins are
forgiven you for his name's sake.
{2:13} I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the
beginning.
I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.
I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
{2:14} I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is
from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the
word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
{2:15} Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the
world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him.
{2:16} For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust
of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the
world's. {2:17} The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who
does God's will remains forever.
{2:18} Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard
that the Anti-messiah is coming, even now many anti-messiahs have
arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour. {2:19} They went
out from us, but they didn't belong to us; for if they had belonged to
us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might
be revealed that none of them belong to us. {2:20} You have an
anointing from the Holy One, and you [3]all have knowledge.[3]
{2:21} I have not written to you because you don't know the truth, but
because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. {2:22} Who is
the liar but he who denies that Yeshua is the Messiah? This is the
Anti-messiah, he who denies the Father and the Son. {2:23} Whoever
denies the Son, the same doesn't have the Father. He who confesses the
Son has the Father also.
{2:24} Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard
from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains
in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father. {2:25}
This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life. {2:26}
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you
astray. {2:27} As for you, the anointing which you received from him
remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his
anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no
lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him. {2:28} Now,
little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have
boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. {2:29} If you
know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices
righteousness is born of him.

{46:5} To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me,
that we may be like? {46:6} Some pour out gold from the bag,
and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he
makes it a god. They fall down--yes, they worship. {46:7} They
bear it on the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its
place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes,
one may cry to it, yet it can not answer, nor save him out of
his trouble.
{46:8} Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to
mind, you transgressors. {46:9} Remember the former things of
old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there
is none like me; {46:10} declaring the end from the beginning,
and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My
counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure; {46:11}
calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel
from a far country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to
pass; I have purposed, I will also do it. {46:12} Listen to me,
you stout-hearted, who are far from righteousness: {46:13} I
bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my
salvation shall not wait; and I will place salvation in Zion
for Israel my glory.
{47:1} Come down, and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon;
sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Kasdim: for
you shall no more be called tender and delicate. {47:2} Take
the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the
train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers. {47:3} Your
nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I
will take vengeance, and will spare no man.
{47:4} Our Redeemer, the LORD of Hosts is his name, the Holy One of
Israel.
{47:5} Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Kasdim;
for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
{47:6} I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave
them into your hand: you showed them no mercy; on the aged you
have very heavily laid your yoke. {47:7} You said, 'I shall be
a mistress forever;' so that you did not lay these things to
your heart, nor did you remember the latter end of it.
{47:8} Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who
sit securely, who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is none
else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I
know the loss of children:' {47:9} but these two things shall
come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and
widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in the
multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your
enchantments. {47:10} For you have trusted in your wickedness;
you have said, No one sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge,
it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, I am,
and there is none else besides me. {47:11} Therefore evil will
come on you; you won't know when it dawns: and mischief will
fall on you; you will not be able to put it away: and
desolation shall come on you suddenly, which you don't know.
{47:12} Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of
your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if
so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail.
{47:13} You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels: let
now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly
prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that
shall come on you. {47:14} Behold, they shall be as stubble;
the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves
from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at,
nor a fire to sit before. {47:15} Thus shall the things be to
you in which you have labored: those who have trafficked with
you from your youth shall wander everyone to his quarter; there
shall be none to save you.

Yochanan's First Letter, Chapter 1
{1:1} That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard,
that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our
hands touched, concerning the Word of life {1:2} (and the life was
revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life,
the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);
{1:3} that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you
also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the
Father, and with his Son, Yeshua the Messiah. {1:4} And we write these
things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
{1:5} This is the message which we have heard from him and announce
to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. {1:6} If
we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we
lie, and don't tell the truth. {1:7} But if we walk in the light, as
he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood
of Yeshua the Messiah, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. {1:8} If we
say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in
us. {1:9} If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to
forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
{1:10} If we say that we haven't sinned, we make him a liar, and his
word is not in us.

[HNV] Isaiah 43, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 43
{43:1} But now thus says the LORD who created you, Jacob,
and he who formed you, Israel:
Don't be afraid, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name.
You are mine.
{43:2} When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they will not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned,
and flame will not scorch you.
{43:3} For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
your Savior.
I have given Egypt as your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
{43:4} Since you have been precious and honored in my sight,
and I have loved you;
therefore I will give people in your place,
and nations instead of your life.
{43:5} Don't be afraid; for I am with you.
I will bring your seed from the east,
and gather you from the west.
{43:6} I will tell the north, 'Give them up!'
and tell the south, 'Don't hold them back!
Bring my sons from far,
and my daughters from the ends of the earth--
{43:7} everyone who is called by my name,
and whom I have created for my glory,
whom I have formed,
yes, whom I have made.'
{43:8} Bring out the blind people who have eyes,
and the deaf who have ears.
{43:9} Let all the nations be gathered together,
and let the peoples be assembled.
Who among them can declare this,
and show us former things?
Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified;
or let them hear, and say, That is true.
{43:10} You are my witnesses, says the LORD,
With my servant whom I have chosen;
that you may know and believe me,
and understand that I am he.
Before me there was no God formed,
neither will there be after me.
{43:11} I myself am the LORD;
and besides me there is no savior.
{43:12} I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown;
and there was no strange god among you.
Therefore you are my witnesses,
says the LORD, and I am God.
{43:13} Yes, since the day was I am he;
and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand.
I will work, and who can hinder it?
{43:14} Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them
down as fugitives, even the Kasdim, in the ships of their rejoicing.
{43:15} I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your
King.
{43:16} Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea,
and a path in the mighty waters;
{43:17} who brings forth the chariot and horse,
the army and the mighty man
(they lie down together, they shall not rise;
they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick):
{43:18} Don't remember the former things,
and don't consider the things of old.
{43:19} Behold, I will do a new thing.
It springs forth now.
Don't you know it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert.
{43:20} The animals of the field shall honor me,
the jackals and the ostriches;
because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
{43:21} the people which I formed for myself,
that they might set forth my praise.
{43:22} Yet you have not called on me, Jacob;
but you have been weary of me, Israel.
{43:23} You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings;
neither have you honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings,
nor wearied you with frankincense.
{43:24} You have bought me no sweet cane with money,
nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices;
but you have burdened me with your sins.
You have wearied me with your iniquities.
{43:25} I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own
sake;
and I will not remember your sins.
{43:26} Put me in remembrance.
Let us plead together.
Set forth your case,
that you may be justified.
{43:27} Your first father sinned,
and your teachers have transgressed against me.
{43:28} Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary;
and I will make Jacob a curse,
and Israel an insult.
{44:1} Yet listen now, Jacob my servant,
and Israel, whom I have chosen.
{44:2} This is what the LORD who made you,
and formed you from the womb,
who will help you says:
Don't be afraid, Jacob my servant;
and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
{44:3} For I will pour water on him who is thirsty,
and streams on the dry ground.
I will pour my Spirit on your seed,
and my blessing on your offspring:
{44:4} and they will spring up among the grass,
as willows by the watercourses.
{44:5} One will say, 'I am the LORD's;'
and another will be called by the name of Jacob;
and another will write with his hand 'to the LORD,'
and honor the name of Israel.
{44:6} This is what the LORD, the King of Israel,
and his Redeemer, the LORD of Hosts, says:
I am the first, and I am the last;
and besides me there is

Peter's Second Letter, Chapter 3
{3:1} This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to
you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;
{3:2} that you should remember the words which were spoken before by
the holy prophets, and the commandments of us, the emissaries of the
Lord and Savior: {3:3} knowing this first, that in the last days
mockers will come, walking after their own lusts, {3:4} and saying,
Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the
fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the
beginning of the creation. {3:5} For this they willfully forget, that
there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and
amid water, by the word of God; {3:6} by which means the world that
then was, being overflowed with water, perished. {3:7} But the heavens
that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for
fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of
ungodly men. {3:8} But don't forget this one thing, beloved, that one
day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one
day. {3:9} The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count
slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance. {3:10} But the day of the Lord
will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away
with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent
heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
{3:11} Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this,
what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
{3:12} looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of
God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the
elements will melt with fervent heat? {3:13} But, according to his
promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which
righteousness dwells.
{3:14} Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be
diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his
sight. {3:15} Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as
our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him,
wrote to you; {3:16} as also in all of his letters, speaking in them
of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to
understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to
the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. {3:17} You therefore,
beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried
away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own
steadfastness. {3:18} But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord
and Savior Yeshua the Messiah. To him be the glory both now and
forever. Amen.

arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 40
{40:1} Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. {40:2} Speak
comfortably to Jerusalem; and call out to her that her warfare is
accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of
the LORD's hand double for all her sins.
{40:3} The voice of one who calls out,
Prepare the way of the LORD in the wilderness!
Make a level highway in the desert for our God.
{40:4} Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill shall be made low.
The uneven shall be made level,
and the rough places a plain.
{40:5} The glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together;
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it. {40:6} The voice of one
saying, Cry!
One said, What shall I cry?
All flesh is like grass,
and all its glory is like the flower of the field.
{40:7} The grass withers,
the flower fades,
because the LORD's breath blows on it.
Surely the people are like grass.
{40:8} The grass withers,
the flower fades;
but the word of our God stands forever.
{40:9} You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain.
You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with
strength.
Lift it up. Don't be afraid.
Say to the cities of Judah, Behold, your God!
{40:10} Behold, the Lord GOD will come as a mighty one,
and his arm will rule for him.
Behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.
{40:11} He will feed his flock like a shepherd.
He will gather the lambs in his arm,
and carry them in his bosom.
He will gently lead those who have their young.
{40:12} Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
and marked off the sky with his span,
and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure,
and weighed the mountains in scales,
and the hills in a balance?
{40:13} Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD,
or has taught him as his counselor?
{40:14} Who did he take counsel with,
and who instructed him,
and taught him in the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and showed him the way of understanding?
{40:15} Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket,
and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance.
Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.
{40:16} Lebanon is not sufficient to burn,
nor its animals sufficient for a burnt offering.
{40:17} All the nations are like nothing before him.
They are regarded by him as less than nothing, and vanity.
{40:18} To whom then will you liken God?
Or what likeness will you compare to him?
{40:19} A workman has cast an image,
and the goldsmith overlays it with gold,
and casts silver chains for it.
{40:20} He who is too impoverished for such an offering chooses a tree
that will not rot.
He seeks a skillful workman to set up an engraved image for him that
will not be moved.
{40:21} Haven't you known?
Haven't you heard, yet?
Haven't you been told from the beginning?
Haven't you understood from the foundations of the earth?
{40:22} It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in;
{40:23} who brings princes to nothing;
who makes the judges of the earth like meaningless.
{40:24} They are planted scarcely.
They are sown scarcely.
Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground.
He merely blows on them, and they wither,
and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
{40:25} To whom then will you liken me?
Who is my equal? says the Holy One.
{40:26} Lift up your eyes on high,
and see who has created these,
who brings out their army by number.
He calls them all by name.
by the greatness of his might,
and because he is strong in power,
Not one is lacking.
{40:27} Why do you say, Jacob,
and speak, Israel,
My way is hidden from the LORD,
and the justice due me is disregarded by my God?
{40:28} Haven't you known?
Haven't you heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn't faint.
He isn't weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
{40:29} He gives power to the weak.
He increases the strength of him who has no might.
{40:30} Even the youths faint and get weary,
and the young men utterly fall;
{40:31} But those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength.
They will mount up with wings like eagles.
They will run, and not be weary.
They will walk, and not faint.
{41:1} Keep silent before me, islands,
and let the peoples renew their strength.
Let them come near,
then let them speak.
Let's meet together for judgment.
{41:2} Who has raised up one from the east?
Who called him to his foot in righteousness?
He hands over nations to him,
and makes him rule over kings.
He gives them like the

Peter's Second Letter, Chapter 2
{2:1} But false prophets also arose among the people, as false
teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in
destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them,
bringing on themselves swift destruction. {2:2} Many will follow their
[1]immoral[1] ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be
maligned. {2:3} In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive
words: whose sentence now from of old doesn't linger, and their
destruction will not slumber. {2:4} For if God didn't spare angels
when they sinned, but cast them down to [2]Tartarus[2], and
committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; {2:5}
and didn't spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven
others, a proclaimer of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the
world of the ungodly; {2:6} and turning the cities of Sodom and
Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them
an example to those who would live ungodly; {2:7} and delivered
righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the
wicked {2:8} (for that righteous man dwelling among them, was
tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and
hearing lawless deeds): {2:9} the Lord knows how to deliver the godly
out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the
day of judgment; {2:10} but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in
the lust of defilement, and despise authority. Daring, self-willed,
they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries; {2:11} whereas
angels, though greater in might and power, don't bring a railing
judgment against them before the Lord. {2:12} But these, as
unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed,
speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their
destroying surely be destroyed, {2:13} receiving the wages of
unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime,
spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceit while they feast with
you; {2:14} having eyes full of adultery, and who can't cease from
sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed;
children of cursing; {2:15} forsaking the right way, they went astray,
having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages
of wrongdoing; {2:16} but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A
mute donkey spoke with a man's voice and stopped the madness of the
prophet. {2:17} These are wells without water, clouds driven by a
storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.
{2:18} For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in
the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed
escaping from those who live in error; {2:19} promising them liberty,
while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is
brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
{2:20} For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world
through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Yeshua the Messiah, they
are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become
worse for them than the first. {2:21} For it would be better for them
not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to
turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. {2:22} But it
has happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog turns to
his own vomit again,[3] and the sow that has washed to wallowing in
the mire.

[HNV] Isaiah 37, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 37
{37:1} It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his
clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD's
house. {37:2} He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna
the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to
Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. {37:3} They said to him, Thus
says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of
rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no
strength to bring forth. {37:4} It may be the LORD your God will hear
the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent
to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your
God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is
left.' {37:5} So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
{37:6} Isaiah said to them, Tell your master, 'Thus says the LORD,
Don't be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the
servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. {37:7} Behold, I
will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his
own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.'
{37:8} So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring
against Libnah, for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
{37:9} He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has
come out to fight against you. When he heard it, he sent messengers
to Hezekiah, saying, {37:10} Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of
Judah, saying, 'Don't let your God in whom you trust deceive you,
saying, Jerusalem won't be given into the hand of the king of
Assyria. {37:11} Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria
have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be
delivered? {37:12} Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which
my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of
Eden who were in Telassar? {37:13} Where is the king of Hamath, and
the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena,
and Ivvah?'
{37:14} Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers
and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the LORD's house, and spread it
before the LORD. {37:15} Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying, {37:16}
LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the
cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the
earth. You have made heaven and earth. {37:17} Turn your ear, LORD,
and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and behold. Hear all of the words of
Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God. {37:18} Truly, LORD,
the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
{37:19} and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods,
but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have
destroyed them. {37:20} Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his
hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the
LORD, even you only.
{37:21} Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus
says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Because you have prayed to me
against Sennacherib king of Assyria, {37:22} this is the word which
the LORD has spoken concerning him. The virgin daughter of Zion has
despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken
her head at you. {37:23} Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against
whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high?
Against the Holy One of Israel. {37:24} By your servants, have you
defied the Lord, and have said, With the multitude of my chariots I
have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of
Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice fir trees. I
will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
{37:25} I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I
will dry up all the rivers of Egypt. {37:26} Have you not heard how I
have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have
brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified
cities, turning them into ruinous heaps. {37:27} Therefore their
inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They
were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the
grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.
{37:28} But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in,
and your raging against me. {37:29} Because of your raging against me,
and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore will I
put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn
you back by the way by which you came. {37:30} This shall be the sign
to you. You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the
second year that which springs from the same; and in the third year
sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. {37:31}

Peter's Second Letter, Chapter 1
{1:1} Simon Peter, a servant and emissary of Yeshua the Messiah, to
those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the
righteousness of our God and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah: {1:2} Grace
to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Yeshua
our Lord, {1:3} seeing that his divine power has granted to us all
things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of
him who called us by his own glory and virtue; {1:4} by which he has
granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that
through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust. {1:5} Yes,
and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your
faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
{1:6} and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience;
and in patience godliness; {1:7} and in godliness brotherly affection;
and in brotherly affection, love. {1:8} For if these things are yours
and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the
knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. {1:9} For he who lacks these
things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the
cleansing from his old sins. {1:10} Therefore, [1]brothers,[1] be
more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do
these things, you will never stumble. {1:11} For thus you will be
richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord
and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah.
{1:12} Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these
things, though you know them, and are established in the present
truth. {1:13} I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir
you up by reminding you; {1:14} knowing that the putting off of my
tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Yeshua the Messiah made clear to
me. {1:15} Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able
to remember these things even after my departure. {1:16} For we did
not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the
power and coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, but we were
eyewitnesses of his majesty. {1:17} For he received from God the
Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic
Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.[2] {1:18}
We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the
holy mountain.
{1:19} We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that
you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day
dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts: {1:20} knowing this
first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
{1:21} For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of
God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

[HNV] Isaiah 34, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 34
{34:1} Come near, you nations, to hear!
Listen, you peoples.
Let the earth and all it contains hear;
the world, and everything that comes from it.
{34:2} For the LORD is enraged against all the nations,
and angry with all their armies.
He has utterly destroyed them.
He has given them over for slaughter.
{34:3} Their slain will also be cast out,
and the stench of their dead bodies will come up;
and the mountains will melt in their blood.
{34:4} All of the army of the sky will be dissolved.
The sky will be rolled up like a scroll,
and all its armies will fade away,
as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.
{34:5} For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky.
Behold, it will come down on Edom,
and on the people of my curse, for judgment.
{34:6} The LORD's sword is filled with blood.
It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams;
for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
{34:7} The wild oxen will come down with them,
and the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
and their land will be drunken with blood,
and their dust made greasy with fat.
{34:8} For the LORD has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
{34:9} Its streams will be turned into pitch,
its dust into sulfur,
And its land will become burning pitch.
{34:10} It won't be quenched night nor day.
Its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation, it will lie waste.
No one will pass through it forever and ever.
{34:11} But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it.
The owl and the raven will dwell in it.
He will stretch the line of confusion over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
{34:12} They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be
there;
and all its princes shall be nothing.
{34:13} Thorns will come up in its palaces,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses;
and it will be a habitation of jackals,
a court for ostriches.
{34:14} The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves,
and the wild goat will cry to his fellow.
Yes, the [1]night creature[1] shall settle there,
and shall find herself a place of rest.
{34:15} The arrow snake will make her nest there,
and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade.
Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
{34:16} Search in the book of the LORD, and read:
not one of these will be missing.
none will lack her mate.
For my mouth has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
{34:17} He has cast the lot for them,
and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line.
They shall possess it forever.
From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
{35:1} The wilderness and the dry land will be glad.
The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
{35:2} It will blossom abundantly,
and rejoice even with joy and singing.
Lebanon's glory Lebanon will be given to it,
the excellence of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the LORD's glory,
the excellence of our God.
{35:3} Strengthen the weak hands,
and make firm the feeble knees.
{35:4} Tell those who have a fearful heart, Be strong.
Don't be afraid.
Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God's retribution.
He will come and save you.
{35:5} Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,
and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
{35:6} Then the lame man will leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the mute will sing;
for waters will break out in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert.
{35:7} The burning sand will become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water.
Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals,
where they lay.
{35:8} A highway will be there, a road,
and it will be called The Holy Way.
The unclean shall not pass over it,
but it will be for those who walk in the Way.
Wicked fools will not go there.
{35:9} No lion will be there,
nor will any ravenous animal go up on it.
They will not be found there;
but the redeemed will walk there.
{35:10} The the LORD's ransomed ones will return,
and come with singing to Zion;
and everlasting joy will be on their heads.
They will obtain gladness and joy,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
{36:1} Now it happened in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that
Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all of the fortified cities of
Judah, and captured them. {36:2} The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh
from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a large army. He stood
by the aqueduct from the upper pool in the fuller's field highway.
{36:3} Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household,
and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder came
out to him. {36:4} Rabshakeh said to them, Now tell

arch...@jab.org
Peter's First Letter, Chapter 5
{5:1} I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a
witness of the sufferings of Messiah, and who will also share in the
glory that will be revealed. {5:2} Shepherd the flock of God which is
among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but
voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly; {5:3} neither as
lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples
to the flock. {5:4} When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will
receive the crown of glory that doesn't fade away.
{5:5} Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all
of you clothe yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one
another; for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the
humble.[1] {5:6} Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of
God, that he may exalt you in due time; {5:7} casting all your worries
on him, because he cares for you.
{5:8} Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the
devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
{5:9} Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your
brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
{5:10} But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal
glory by Messiah Yeshua, after you have suffered a little while,
perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. {5:11} To him be the
glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
{5:12} Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I
have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is
the true grace of God in which you stand. {5:13} She who is in
Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my
son. {5:14} Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all
who are in Messiah Yeshua. Amen.

[HNV] Peter's First Letter 4, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Peter's First Letter, Chapter 4
{4:1} Forasmuch then as Messiah suffered for us in the flesh, arm
yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the
flesh has ceased from sin; {4:2} that you no longer should live the
rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will
of God. {4:3} For we have spent enough of our past time doing the
desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken
binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries. {4:4} They
think it is strange that you don't run with them into the same excess
of riot, blaspheming: {4:5} who will give account to him who is ready
to judge the living and the dead. {4:6} For to this end the Good News
was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men
in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit. {4:7} But the end of
all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and
sober in prayer. {4:8} And above all things be earnest in your love
among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins. {4:9} Be
hospitable to one another without grumbling. {4:10} As each has
received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of
the grace of God in its various forms. {4:11} If anyone speaks, let it
be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of
the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be
glorified through Yeshua the Messiah, to whom belong the glory and the
dominion forever and ever. Amen.
{4:12} Beloved, don't be astonished at the fiery trial which has
come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
{4:13} But because you are partakers of Messiah's sufferings, rejoice;
that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with
exceeding joy. {4:14} If you are insulted for the name of Messiah, you
are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On
their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified. {4:15}
For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer,
or a meddler in other men's matters. {4:16} But if one of you suffers
for being a Messianic, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God
in this matter. {4:17} For the time has come for judgment to begin
with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will
happen to those who don't obey the Good News of God? {4:18} If it is
hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly
and the sinner?[1] {4:19} Therefore let them also who suffer
according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him,
as to a faithful Creator.

[HNV] Isaiah 28, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 28
{28:1} Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to
the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the
fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine! {28:2} Behold, the
Lord has a mighty and strong one. Like a storm of hail, a destroying
storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast
them down to the earth with his hand. {28:3} The crown of pride of the
drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot. {28:4} The fading
flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile
valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer; which
someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it. {28:5} In that day, the
LORD of Hosts will become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to
the residue of his people; {28:6} and a spirit of justice to him who
sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at
the gate. {28:7} They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong
drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are
swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in
vision. They stumble in judgment. {28:8} For all tables are completely
full of filthy vomit and filthiness. {28:9} Whom will he teach
knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned
from the milk, and drawn from the breasts? {28:10} For it is precept
on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a
little, there a little. {28:11} But he will speak to this nation with
stammering lips and in another language; {28:12} to whom he said,
This is the resting place. Give rest to weary; and This is the
refreshing; yet they would not hear. {28:13} Therefore the word of
the LORD will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line
on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may
go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken. {28:14}
Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers, that rule this
people in Jerusalem: {28:15} Because you have said, 'We have made a
covenant with death, and with [1]Sheol[1] are we in agreement. When
the overflowing scourge passes through, it won't come to us; for we
have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under
falsehood.' {28:16} Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay
in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious
cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act
hastily. {28:17} I will make justice the measuring line, and
righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of
lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place. {28:18} Your
covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with
[2]Sheol[2] shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes
through, then you will be trampled down by it. {28:19} As often as it
passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass
through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to
understand the message. {28:20} For the bed is too short to stretch
out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in. {28:21} For
the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the
valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring
to pass his act, his extraordinary act. {28:22} Now therefore don't be
scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of
destruction from the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, on the whole earth.
{28:23} Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!
{28:24} Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep
turning the soil and breaking the clods? {28:25} When he has leveled
its surface, doesn't he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed,
and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and
the spelt in its place? {28:26} For his God instructs him in right
judgment, and teaches him. {28:27} For the dill are not threshed with
a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but
the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod. {28:28}
Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it.
Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses
don't grind it. {28:29} This also comes forth from the LORD of Hosts,
who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
{29:1} Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year
to year; let the feasts come around; {29:2} then I will distress
Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me
as an [3]altar hearth[3]. {29:3} I will encamp against you all
around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will
raise siege works against you. {29:4} You will be brought down, and
will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust.
Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the

Peter's First Letter, Chapter 3
{3:1} In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands;
so that, even if any don't obey the Word, they may be won by the
behavior of their wives without a word; {3:2} seeing your pure
behavior in fear. {3:3} Let your beauty be not just the outward
adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of
putting on fine clothing; {3:4} but in the hidden person of the heart,
in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is
in the sight of God very precious. {3:5} For this is how the holy
women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in
subjection to their own husbands: {3:6} as Sarah obeyed Abraham,
calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are
not put in fear by any terror.
{3:7} You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according
to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as
being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not
be hindered.
{3:8} Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as
brothers, tenderhearted, courteous, {3:9} not rendering evil for evil,
or insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were
you called, that you may inherit a blessing. {3:10} For,
He who would love life,
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil,
and his lips from speaking deceit.
{3:11} Let him turn away from evil, and do good.
Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
{3:12} For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears open to their prayer;
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.[1]
{3:13} Now who is he who will harm you, if you become imitators of
that which is good? {3:14} But even if you should suffer for
righteousness' sake, you are blessed. Don't fear what they fear,
neither be troubled.[2] {3:15} But sanctify the Lord God in your
hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you
a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear:
{3:16} having a good conscience; that, while you are spoken against as
evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in
Messiah. {3:17} For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer
for doing well than for doing evil. {3:18} Because Messiah also
suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he
might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made
alive in the spirit; {3:19} in which he also went and preached to the
spirits in prison, {3:20} who before were disobedient, when God waited
patiently in the days of Noah, while the ship was being built. In it,
few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. {3:21} This is a
symbol of immersion, which now saves you--not the putting away of the
filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,
through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah, {3:22} who is at the
right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and
powers being made subject to him.

Isaiah, starting at chapter 25
{25:1} The LORD, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise
your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long
ago, in complete faithfulness and truth. {25:2} For you have made a
city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers
to be no city. It will never be built. {25:3} Therefore a strong
people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.
{25:4} For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the
needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat,
when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
{25:5} As the heat in a dry place will you bring down the noise of
strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the
dreaded ones will be brought low. {25:6} In this mountain, the LORD of
Hosts will make all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of choice
wines, of fat things full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.
{25:7} He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering
that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
{25:8} He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord GOD will wipe away
tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away
from off all the earth, for the LORD has spoken it. {25:9} It shall be
said in that day, Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him,
and he will save us! This is the LORD! We have waited for him. We will
be glad and rejoice in his salvation! {25:10} For in this mountain
the hand of the LORD will rest.
Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden
down in the water of the dunghill. {25:11} He will spread out his
hands in its midst, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but
his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
{25:12} He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low,
and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
{26:1} In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city.
God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
{26:2} Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter:
the one which keeps faith.
{26:3} You will keep whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect peace,
because he trusts in you.
{26:4} Trust in the LORD forever;
for in the LORD, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
{26:5} For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city.
He lays it low.
He lays it low even to the ground.
He brings it even to the dust.
{26:6} The foot shall tread it down;
Even the feet of the poor,
and the steps of the needy.
{26:7} The way of the just is uprightness.
You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
{26:8} Yes, in the way of your judgments, the LORD, have we waited for
you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul. {26:9} With
my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me
will I seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. {26:10} Let favor be
shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land
of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD's
majesty. {26:11} The LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they don't see;
but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes,
fire will consume your adversaries. {26:12} The LORD, you will ordain
peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us. {26:13}
The LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us,
but by you only will we make mention of your name. {26:14} The dead
shall not live. The deceased shall not rise. Therefore have you
visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
{26:15} You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the
nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the
land. {26:16} LORD, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out
a prayer when your chastening was on them. {26:17} Like as a woman
with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and
cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, LORD. {26:18} We
have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems,
only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither
have the inhabitants of the world fallen. {26:19} Your dead shall
live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the
dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast
forth the dead.
{26:20} Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors
behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation
is past. {26:21} For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place to
punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also
will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.

Peter's First Letter, Chapter 2
{2:1} Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit,
hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking, {2:2} as newborn babies,
long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby, {2:3}
if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious: {2:4} coming to
him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God,
precious. {2:5} You also, as living stones, are built up as a
spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual
sacrifices, acceptable to God through Yeshua the Messiah. {2:6}
Because it is contained in Scripture,
Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious:
He who believes in him will not be disappointed.[1]
{2:7} For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who
are disobedient,
The stone which the builders rejected,
has become the chief cornerstone,[2]
{2:8} and,
a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.[3]
For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they
were appointed. {2:9} But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim
the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his
marvelous light: {2:10} who in time past were no people, but now are
God's people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
{2:11} Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from
fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; {2:12} having good behavior
among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as
evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in
the day of visitation. {2:13} Therefore subject yourselves to every
ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
{2:14} or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and
for praise to those who do well. {2:15} For this is the will of God,
that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish
men: {2:16} as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of
wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
{2:17} Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the
king. {2:18} Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear;
not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked. {2:19} For it
is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of
conscience toward God. {2:20} For what glory is it if, when you sin,
you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently
endure suffering, this is commendable with God. {2:21} For to this you
were called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving [4]you[4]
an example, that you should follow his steps, {2:22} who did not sin,
neither was deceit found in his mouth.[5] {2:23} Who, when he was
cursed, didn't curse back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but
committed himself to him who judges righteously; {2:24} who his own
self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to
sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
{2:25} For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to
the Shepherd and [6]Overseer[6] of your souls.

[HNV] Isaiah 22, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 22
{22:1} The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that
you have all gone up to the housetops? {22:2} You that are full of
shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain
with the sword, neither are they dead in battle. {22:3} All your
rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who
were found by you were bound together. They fled far away. {22:4}
Therefore I said, Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don't
labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
{22:5} For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of
perplexity, from the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, in the valley of vision;
a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains. {22:6}
Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir
uncovered the shield. {22:7} It happened that your choicest valleys
were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the
gate. {22:8} He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in
that day to the armor in the house of the forest. {22:9} You saw the
breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and you gathered
together the waters of the lower pool. {22:10} You numbered the houses
of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
{22:11} You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water
of the old pool. But you didn't look to him who had done this, neither
did you have respect for him who purposed it long ago. {22:12} In that
day, the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, called to weeping, and to mourning,
and to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth: {22:13} and behold, joy
and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and
drinking wine: Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.
{22:14} The LORD of Hosts revealed himself in my ears, Surely this
iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die, says the Lord, the
LORD of Hosts.
{22:15} Thus says the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, Go, get yourself to
this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
{22:16} 'What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug
out a tomb here?' Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a
habitation for himself in the rock! {22:17} Behold, the LORD will
overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you
firmly. {22:18} He will surely wind you around and around, and throw
you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there
the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord's house.
{22:19} I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down
from your station.
{22:20} It will happen in that day that I will call my servant
Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, {22:21} and I will clothe him with your
robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government
into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. {22:22} I will lay the key of
the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will
shut. He will shut, and no one will open. {22:23} I will fasten him
like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his
father's house. {22:24} They will hang on him all the glory of his
father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from
the cups even to all the pitchers. {22:25} In that day, says the
LORD of Hosts, the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give
way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be
cut off, for the LORD has spoken it.
{23:1} The burden of Tyre. Howl, you ships of Tarshish! For it is
laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. From the land
of Kittim it is revealed to them. {23:2} Be still, you inhabitants of
the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon, that pass over the sea,
have replenished. {23:3} On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the
harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market of nations.
{23:4} Be ashamed, Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of
the sea, saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither
have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins. {23:5} When the
report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.
{23:6} Pass over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coast!
{23:7} Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days,
whose feet carried her far away to travel? {23:8} Who has planned this
against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose
traffickers are the honorable of the earth? {23:9} The LORD of Hosts
has planned it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into
contempt all the honorable of the earth. {23:10} Pass through your
land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no restraint any
more. {23:11} He has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has
shaken the kingdoms. The LORD has ordered the

Peter's First Letter, Chapter 1
{1:1} Peter, an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah, to the chosen ones
who are living as foreigners in the Diaspora in Pontus, Galatia,
Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, {1:2} according to the foreknowledge
of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey
Yeshua the Messiah and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and
peace be multiplied. {1:3} Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Yeshua the Messiah, who according to his great mercy became our father
again to a living hope through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah
from the dead, {1:4} to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance
that doesn't fade away, reserved in Heaven for you, {1:5} who by the
power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be
revealed in the last time. {1:6} Wherein you greatly rejoice, though
now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in
various trials, {1:7} that the proof of your faith, which is more
precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may
be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of
Yeshua the Messiah--{1:8} whom not having known you love; in whom,
though now you don't see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with
joy unspeakable and full of glory--{1:9} receiving the result of your
faith, the salvation of your souls. {1:10} Concerning this salvation,
the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the
grace that would come to you, {1:11} searching for who or what kind of
time the Spirit of Messiah, which was in them, pointed to, when he
predicted the sufferings of Messiah, and the glories that would follow
them. {1:12} To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to
you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to
you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit
sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
{1:13} Therefore [1]prepare your minds for action,[1] be sober and
set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the
revelation of Yeshua the Messiah--{1:14} as children of obedience, not
conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your
ignorance, {1:15} but just as he who called you is holy, you
yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior; {1:16} because it is
written, You shall be holy; for I am holy.[2] {1:17} If you call on
him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each
man's work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in
reverent fear: {1:18} knowing that you were redeemed, not with
corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life
handed down from your fathers, {1:19} but with precious blood, as of a
faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Messiah; {1:20} who was
foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed
at the end of times for your sake, {1:21} who through him are
believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so
that your faith and hope might be in God.
{1:22} Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the
truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one
another from the heart fervently: {1:23} having been born again, not
of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God,
which lives and remains forever. {1:24} For,
All flesh is like grass,
and all of man's glory like the flower in the grass.
The grass withers, and its flower falls;
{1:25} but the Lord's word endures forever.[3]
This is the word of Good News which was preached to you.

[HNV] The Letter from Jacob 5, World English Bible: Messianic Edition

The Letter from Jacob, Chapter 5
{5:1} Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are
coming on you. {5:2} Your riches are corrupted and your garments are
moth-eaten. {5:3} Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their
corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh
like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days. {5:4}
Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you
have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped
have entered into the ears of the Lord of [1]Hosts[1]. {5:5} You
have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have
nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter. {5:6} You have
condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn't resist you.
{5:7} Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.
Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being
patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain. {5:8} You
also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is
at hand.
{5:9} Don't grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you
won't be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door. {5:10} Take,
brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets
who spoke in the name of the Lord. {5:11} Behold, we call them blessed
who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the
Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
{5:12} But above all things, my brothers, don't swear, neither by
heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yes be
yes, and your no, no; so that you don't fall [2]into
hypocrisy.[2]
{5:13} Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful?
Let him sing praises. {5:14} Is any among you sick? Let him call for
the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him
with oil in the name of the Lord, {5:15} and the prayer of faith will
heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has
committed sins, he will be forgiven. {5:16} Confess your offenses to
one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The
insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective. {5:17}
Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that
it might not rain, and it didn't rain on the earth for three years and
six months. {5:18} He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the
earth brought forth its fruit.
{5:19} Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and
someone turns him back, {5:20} let him know that he who turns a sinner
from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover
a multitude of sins.

Isaiah, starting at chapter 16
{16:1} Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the
wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion. {16:2} For it
will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the
daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon. {16:3} Give counsel!
Execute justice! Make your shade like the night in the midst of the
noonday! Hide the outcasts! Don't betray the fugitive! {16:4} Let my
outcasts dwell with you! As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from
the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nothing.
Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
{16:5} A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit
on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and
swift to do righteousness.
{16:6} We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud;
even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are
nothing. {16:7} Therefore Moab will wail for Moab. Everyone will wail.
You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken.
{16:8} For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The
lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which
reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots
were spread abroad. They passed over the sea. {16:9} Therefore I will
weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will water
you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and
on your harvest the battle shout has fallen. {16:10} Gladness is taken
away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there
will be no singing, neither joyful noise. Nobody will tread out wine
in the presses. I have made the shouting stop. {16:11} Therefore my
heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.
{16:12} It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he
wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray,
that he will not prevail. {16:13} This is the word that the LORD spoke
concerning Moab in time past. {16:14} But now the LORD has spoken,
saying, Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count
them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his
great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.
{17:1} The burden of Damascus: Behold, Damascus is taken away from
being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap. {17:2} The cities of
Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and
none shall make them afraid. {17:3} The fortress shall cease from
Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They
will be as the glory of the children of Israel, says the LORD of
Hosts. {17:4} It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will
be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean. {17:5} It
will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps
the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of
Rephaim. {17:6} Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of
an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough,
four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree, says the
LORD, the God of Israel. {17:7} In that day, people will look to their
Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
{17:8} They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands;
neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either
the Asherim, or the incense altars. {17:9} In that day, their strong
cities will be like the forsaken places in the woods and on the
mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel;
and it will be a desolation. {17:10} For you have forgotten the God of
your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength.
Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.
{17:11} In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning,
you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of
grief and of desperate sorrow. {17:12} Ah, the uproar of many peoples,
who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations,
that rush like the rushing of mighty waters! {17:13} The nations will
rush like the rushing of many waters: but he will rebuke them, and
they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the
mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the
storm. {17:14} At evening, behold, terror! Before the morning, they
are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot
of those who rob us.
{18:1} Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the
rivers of Ethiopia; {18:2} that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in
vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, Go, you swift messengers,
to a nation tall and smooth, to a people awesome from their beginning
onward, a nation that

{4:1} Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they
come from your pleasures that war in your members? {4:2} You lust, and
don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war.
You don't have, because you don't ask. {4:3} You ask, and don't
receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it
for your pleasures. {4:4} You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you
know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever
therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of
God. {4:5} Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, The
Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously? {4:6} But he gives more
grace. Therefore it says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to
the humble.[1] {4:7} Be subject therefore to God. But resist the
devil, and he will flee from you. {4:8} Draw near to God, and he will
draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your
hearts, you double-minded. {4:9} Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your
laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom. {4:10} Humble
yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
{4:11} Don't speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks
against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and
judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the
law, but a judge. {4:12} Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save
and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
{4:13} Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow let's go into this
city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit. {4:14}
Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what
is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and
then vanishes away. {4:15} For you ought to say, If the Lord wills,
we will both live, and do this or that. {4:16} But now you glory in
your boasting. All such boasting is evil. {4:17} To him therefore who
knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin.

[HNV] Isaiah 13, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 13
{13:1} The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw:
{13:2} Set up a banner on the bare mountain! Lift up your voice to
them! Wave your hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
{13:3} I have commanded my consecrated ones; yes, I have called my
mighty men for my anger, even my proudly exulting ones. {13:4} The
noise of a multitude is in the mountains, as of a great people; the
noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together!
the LORD of Hosts is mustering the army for the battle. {13:5} They
come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even the
LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
{13:6} Wail; for the day of the LORD is at hand! It will come as
destruction from the Almighty. {13:7} Therefore all hands will be
feeble, and everyone's heart will melt. {13:8} They will be dismayed.
Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman
in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will
be faces of flame. {13:9} Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel,
with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to
destroy its sinners out of it. {13:10} For the stars of the sky and
its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened
in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.
{13:11} I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for
their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and
will humble the haughtiness of the terrible. {13:12} I will make
people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the pure gold of
Ophir. {13:13} Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the
earth will be shaken out of its place in the wrath of the LORD of
Hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. {13:14} It will happen that
like a hunted gazelle, and like sheep that no one gathers, they will
each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land.
{13:15} Everyone who is found will be thrust through. Everyone who is
captured will fall by the sword. {13:16} Their infants also will be
dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked,
and their wives raped. {13:17} Behold, I will stir up the Medes
against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will
not delight in it. {13:18} Their bows will dash the young men in
pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their
eyes will not spare children. {13:19} Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,
the beauty of the Kasdim' pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom
and Gomorrah. {13:20} It will never be inhabited, neither will it be
lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a
tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.
{13:21} But wild animals of the desert will lie there, and their
houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild
goats will frolic there. {13:22} Wolves will cry in their castles, and
jackals in the pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, and her
days will not be prolonged.
{14:1} For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet
choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join
himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob. {14:2}
The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house
of Israel will possess them in the LORD's land for servants and for
handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were;
and they shall rule over their oppressors. {14:3} It will happen in
the day that the LORD will give you rest from your sorrow, from your
trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
{14:4} that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon,
and say, How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!
{14:5} The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the
rulers, {14:6} who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual
stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none
restrained. {14:7} The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They
break out song. {14:8} Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the
cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has
come up against us. {14:9} [1]Sheol[1] from beneath has moved for
you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, even all
the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the
kings of the nations. {14:10} They all will answer and ask you, Have
you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us? {14:11}
Your pomp is brought down to [2]Sheol[2], with the sound of your
stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms
cover you.
{14:12} How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the
dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations

The Letter from Jacob, Chapter 3
{3:1} Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we
will receive heavier judgment. {3:2} For in many things we all
stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man,
able to bridle the whole body also. {3:3} Indeed, we put bits into the
horses' mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole
body. {3:4} Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are
driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder,
wherever the pilot desires. {3:5} So the tongue is also a little
member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a
large forest! {3:6} And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity
among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and
sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by
[1]Gehinnom.[1] {3:7} For every kind of animal, bird, creeping
thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.
{3:8} But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of
deadly poison. {3:9} With it we bless our God and Father, and with it
we curse men, who are made in the image of God. {3:10} Out of the same
mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things
ought not to be so. {3:11} Does a spring send out from the same
opening fresh and bitter water? {3:12} Can a fig tree, my brothers,
yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water
and fresh water.
{3:13} Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his
good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom. {3:14}
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart,
don't boast and don't lie against the truth. {3:15} This wisdom is not
that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and
demonic. {3:16} For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is
confusion and every evil deed. {3:17} But the wisdom that is from
above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy
and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. {3:18} Now
the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

[HNV] Isaiah 10, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Isaiah, starting at chapter 10
{10:1} Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the
writers who write oppressive decrees; {10:2} to deprive the needy from
justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that
widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their
prey! {10:3} 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?
{10:4} 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.
{10:5} Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand
is my indignation! {10:6} I will send him against a profane nation,
and against the people who anger me will I give him a command to take
the spoil and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire
of the streets. {10:7} 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. {10:8} For he says, Aren't all of my princes kings?
{10:9} Isn't Calno like Carchemish? Isn't Hamath like Arpad? Isn't
Samaria like Damascus? {10:10} As my hand has found the kingdoms of
the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of
Samaria; {10:11} shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols,
so do to Jerusalem and her idols? {10:12} 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 willful proud heart of the
king of Assyria, and the insolence of his haughty looks. {10:13} For
he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my
wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the boundaries of
the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I
have brought down their rulers. {10:14} My hand has found the riches
of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are
abandoned, have I gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved
their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped.
{10:15} 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. {10:16} Therefore the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, will send
among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be
kindled like the burning of fire. {10:17} 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. {10:18} 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. {10:19} The remnant of the
trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their
number.
{10:20} 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. {10:21} A remnant will return, even the remnant
of Jacob, to the mighty God. {10:22} 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. {10:23} For
the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, will make a full end, and that
determined, in the midst of all the earth. {10:24} Therefore the Lord,
the LORD of Hosts, 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. {10:25} For yet a very little while,
and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger
will be directed to his destruction. {10:26} The LORD of Hosts 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. {10:27} 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.
{10:28} He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At
Michmash he stores his baggage. {10:29} They have gone over the pass.
They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of
Saul has fled. {10:30} Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim!
Listen, Laishah! You poor Anathoth! {10:31} Madmenah is a fugitive.
The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety. {10:32} This very day he
will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter
of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. {10:33} Behold, the Lord, the LORD of
Hosts, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and
the lofty will be brought low. {10:34} He will cut down the thickets

The Letter from Jacob, Chapter 2
{2:1} My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Yeshua the
Messiah of glory with partiality. {2:2} For if a man with a gold ring,
in fine clothing, comes into your [1]synagogue[1], and a poor man in
filthy clothing also comes in; {2:3} and you pay special attention to
him who wears the fine clothing, and say, Sit here in a good place;
and you tell the poor man, Stand there, or Sit by my footstool;
{2:4} haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges
with evil thoughts? {2:5} Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn't God
choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs
of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him? {2:6} But you
have dishonored the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you, and
personally drag you before the courts? {2:7} Don't they blaspheme the
honorable name by which you are called? {2:8} However, if you fulfill
the royal law, according to the Scripture, You shall love your
neighbor as yourself,[2] you do well. {2:9} But if you show
partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as
transgressors. {2:10} For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet
stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. {2:11} For he who
said, Do not commit adultery,[3] also said, Do not commit
murder.[4] Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have
become a transgressor of the law. {2:12} So speak, and so do, as men
who are to be judged by a law of freedom. {2:13} For judgment is
without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over
judgment.
{2:14} What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but
has no works? Can faith save him? {2:15} And if a brother or sister is
naked and in lack of daily food, {2:16} and one of you tells them, Go
in peace, be warmed and filled; and yet you didn't give them the
things the body needs, what good is it? {2:17} Even so faith, if it
has no works, is dead in itself. {2:18} Yes, a man will say, You have
faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without works, and I by
my works will show you my faith.
{2:19} You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also
believe, and shudder. {2:20} But do you want to know, vain man, that
faith apart from works is dead? {2:21} Wasn't Abraham our father
justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
{2:22} You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith
was perfected; {2:23} and the Scripture was fulfilled which says,
Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as
righteousness;[5] and he was called the friend of God. {2:24} You see
then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. {2:25}
In the same way, wasn't Rahab the prostitute also justified by works,
in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
{2:26} For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith
apart from works is dead.

[HNV] The Letter from Jacob 1, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
The Letter from Jacob, Chapter 1
{1:1} Jacob, a servant of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, to
the twelve tribes which are in the Diaspora: Greetings. {1:2} Count it
all joy, my [1]brothers[1], when you fall into various temptations,
{1:3} knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. {1:4}
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and
complete, lacking in nothing. {1:5} But if any of you lacks wisdom,
let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach;
and it will be given to him. {1:6} But let him ask in faith, without
any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by
the wind and tossed. {1:7} For let that man not think that he will
receive anything from the Lord. {1:8} He is a double-minded man,
unstable in all his ways.
{1:9} But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high
position; {1:10} and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like
the flower in the grass, he will pass away. {1:11} For the sun arises
with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it
falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the
rich man fade away in his pursuits.
{1:12} Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has
been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord
promised to those who love him. {1:13} Let no man say when he is
tempted, I am tempted by God, for God can't be tempted by evil, and
he himself tempts no one. {1:14} But each one is tempted, when he is
drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. {1:15} Then the lust, when it
has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings
forth death. {1:16} Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers. {1:17}
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from
the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning
shadow. {1:18} Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of
truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
{1:19} So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to
hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; {1:20} for the anger of man
doesn't produce the righteousness of God. {1:21} Therefore, putting
away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with
humility the implanted word, which is able to [2]save your souls[2].
{1:22} But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your
own selves. {1:23} For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a
doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror; {1:24}
for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind
of man he was. {1:25} But he who looks into the perfect Torah of
freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of
the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
{1:26} If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he
doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion
is worthless. {1:27} Pure religion and undefiled before our God and
Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their
affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Isaiah, starting at chapter 4
{4:1} Seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying,
We will eat our own bread, and wear our own clothing: only let us be
called by your name. Take away our reproach.
{4:2} In that day, the LORD's branch will be beautiful and glorious,
and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the
survivors of Israel. {4:3} It will happen, that he who is left in
Zion, and he who remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even
everyone who is written among the living in Jerusalem; {4:4} when the
Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and
shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from its midst, by the spirit
of justice, and by the spirit of burning. {4:5} The LORD will create
over the whole habitation of Mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a
cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night;
for over all the glory will be a canopy. {4:6} 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.
{5:1} 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.
{5:2} He dug it up,
gathered out its stones,
planted it with the choicest vine,
built a tower in its midst,
and also cut out a winepress therein.
He looked for it to yield grapes,
but it yielded wild grapes.
{5:3} Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
please judge between me and my vineyard.
{5:4} 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?
{5:5} 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 of it, and it will be trampled down.
{5:6} I will lay it a wasteland.
It won't be pruned nor hoed,
but it will grow briers and thorns.
I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.
{5:7} For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts 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.
{5:8} 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 midst of the land!
{5:9} In my ears, the LORD of Hosts says: Surely many houses will be
desolate,
even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
{5:10} For [1]ten acres[1] of vineyard shall yield [2]one bath,[2]
and a [3]homer[3] of seed shall yield an [4]efah.[4]
{5:11} 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!
{5:12} The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their
feasts;
but they don't respect the work of the LORD,
neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
{5:13} Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge.
Their honorable men are famished,
and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
{5:14} Therefore [5]Sheol[5] has enlarged its desire,
and opened its mouth without measure;
and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices
among them, descend into it.
{5:15} So man is brought low,
mankind is humbled,
and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
{5:16} but the LORD of Hosts is exalted in justice,
and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
{5:17} Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture,
and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
{5:18} Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood,
and wickedness as with cart rope;
{5:19} Who say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we
may see it;
and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come,
that we may know it!
{5:20} 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!
{5:21} Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
and prudent in their own sight!
{5:22} Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine,
and champions at mixing strong drink;
{5:23} who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
but deny justice for the innocent!
{5:24} Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so their root shall be as rottenness,
and their blossom shall go up as dust;
because they have rejected the law of the LORD of Hosts,
and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
{5:25} Therefore the LORD's anger burns against his people,
and he has stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them.
The mountains tremble,
and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets.

{13:1} Let brotherly love continue. {13:2} Don't forget to show
hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained
angels without knowing it. {13:3} Remember those who are in bonds, as
bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in
the body. {13:4} Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the
bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and
adulterers.
{13:5} Be free from the love of money, content with such things as
you have, for he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I
in any way forsake you.[1] {13:6} So that with good courage we say,
The Lord is my helper. I will not fear.
What can man do to me?[2]
{13:7} Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God,
and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.
{13:8} Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
{13:9} Don't be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it
is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through
which those who were so occupied were not benefited.
{13:10} We have an altar from which those who serve the holy
tabernacle have no right to eat. {13:11} For the bodies of those
animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest
as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.[3] {13:12}
Therefore Yeshua also, that he might sanctify the people through his
own blood, suffered outside of the gate. {13:13} Let us therefore go
out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach. {13:14} For we
don't have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.
{13:15} Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to
God[4] continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim
allegiance to his name. {13:16} But don't forget to be doing good and
sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
{13:17} Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on
behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do
this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable
for you.
{13:18} Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good
conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things. {13:19} I
strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.
{13:20} Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead
the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant,
our Lord Yeshua, {13:21} make you complete in every good work to do
his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight,
through Yeshua the Messiah, to whom be the glory forever and ever.
Amen.
{13:22} But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation,
for I have written to you in few words. {13:23} Know that our brother
Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see
you. {13:24} Greet all of your leaders and all the holy ones. The
Italians greet you. {13:25} Grace be with you all. Amen.

[HNV] The Letter to the Hebrews 12, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 12
{12:1} Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a
cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily
entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before
us, {12:2} looking to Yeshua, the author and perfecter of faith, who
for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its
shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. {12:3}
For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against
himself, that you don't grow weary, fainting in your souls. {12:4} You
have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin; {12:5} and you
have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children,
My son, don't take lightly the chastening of the Lord,
nor faint when you are reproved by him;
{12:6} For whom the Lord loves, he chastens,
and scourges every son whom he receives.[1]
{12:7} It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as
with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn't
discipline? {12:8} But if you are without discipline, of which all
have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.
{12:9} Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and
we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the
Father of spirits, and live? {12:10} For they indeed, for a few days,
punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may
be partakers of his holiness. {12:11} All chastening seems for the
present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the
peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised
thereby. {12:12} Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the
feeble knees,[2] {12:13} and make straight paths for your feet,[3] so
that which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
{12:14} Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification
without which no man will see the Lord, {12:15} looking carefully lest
there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of
bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it;
{12:16} lest there be any sexually immoral person, or profane person,
like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal. {12:17} For you know
that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was
rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought
it diligently with tears. {12:18} For you have not come to a mountain
that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness,
darkness, storm, {12:19} the sound of a [4]shofar[4], and the voice
of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word
should be spoken to them, {12:20} for they could not stand that which
was commanded, If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be
stoned[5];[6] {12:21} and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses
said, I am terrified and trembling.[7]
{12:22} But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the
living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of
angels, {12:23} to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn
who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of
just men made perfect, {12:24} to Yeshua, the mediator of a new
covenant,[8] and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than
that of Abel.
{12:25} See that you don't refuse him who speaks. For if they didn't
escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more
will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
{12:26} whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised,
saying, Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the
heavens.[9] {12:27} This phrase, Yet once more, signifies the
removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been
made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. {12:28}
Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have
grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
{12:29} for our God is a consuming fire.[10]

Song of Solomon, starting at chapter 7
{7:1} How beautiful are your feet in sandals, prince's daughter!
Your rounded thighs are like jewels,
the work of the hands of a skillful workman.
{7:2} Your body is like a round goblet,
no mixed wine is wanting.
Your waist is like a heap of wheat,
set about with lilies.
{7:3} Your two breasts are like two fawns,
that are twins of a roe.
{7:4} 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 toward Damascus.
{7:5} Your head on you is like Carmel.
The hair of your head like purple.
The king is held captive in its tresses.
{7:6} How beautiful and how pleasant you are,
love, for delights!
{7:7} This, your stature, is like a palm tree,
your breasts like its fruit.
{7:8} 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,
Beloved
{7:9} Your mouth like the best wine,
that goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding through the lips of those who are asleep.
{7:10} I am my beloved's.
His desire is toward me.
{7:11} Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field.
Let us lodge in the villages.
{7:12} 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.
{7:13} The mandrakes give forth fragrance.
At our doors are all kinds of precious fruits, new and old,
which I have stored up for you, my beloved.
{8:1} 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.
{8:2} I would lead you, bringing you into my mother's house,
who would instruct me.
I would have you drink spiced wine,
of the juice of my pomegranate.
{8:3} His left hand would be under my head.
His right hand would embrace me.
{8:4} I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,
that you not stir up, nor awaken love,
until it so desires.
Friends
{8:5} 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 labor and bore you.
{8:6} 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 [1]Sheol[1].
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a very flame of [2]the LORD.[2]
{8:7} 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.
Friends
{8:8} 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?
{8:9} 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.
Beloved
{8:10} I am a wall, and my breasts like towers,
then I was in his eyes like one who found peace.
{8:11} 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.
{8:12} My own vineyard is before me.
The thousand are for you, Solomon;
two hundred for those who tend its fruit.
Lover
{8:13} You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance,
let me hear your voice!
Beloved
{8:14} Come away, my beloved!
Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices!

[HNV] The Letter to the Hebrews 11, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 11
{11:1} Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things
not seen. {11:2} For by this, the elders obtained testimony. {11:3} By
faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of
God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are
visible. {11:4} By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent
sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that
he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and
through it he, being dead, still speaks. {11:5} By faith, Enoch was
taken away, so that he wouldn't see death, and he was not found,
because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that
before his translation he had been well pleasing to God. {11:6}
Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who
comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of
those who seek him. {11:7} By faith, Noah, being warned about things
not yet seen, moved with godly [1]fear,[1] prepared a ship for the
saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became
heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. {11:8} By
faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place
which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing
where he went. {11:9} By faith, he lived as an alien in the land of
promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and
Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise. {11:10} For he looked
for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is
God. {11:11} By faith, even Sarah herself received power to conceive,
and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him
faithful who had promised. {11:12} Therefore as many as the stars of
the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the
sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead. {11:13}
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having
seen[2] them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that
they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. {11:14} For those who
say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their
own. {11:15} If indeed they had been thinking of that country from
which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
{11:16} But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one.
Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he
has prepared a city for them.
{11:17} By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he
who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only
son; {11:18} even he to whom it was said, In Isaac will your seed be
called;[3] {11:19} concluding that God is able to raise up even from
the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the
dead. {11:20} By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning
things to come. {11:21} By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed
each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his
staff. {11:22} By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention
of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions
concerning his bones. {11:23} By faith, Moses, when he was born, was
hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a
beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
{11:24} By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called
the son of Pharaoh's daughter, {11:25} choosing rather to share ill
treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a
time; {11:26} accounting the reproach of Messiahship greater riches
than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward. {11:27} By
faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he
endured, as seeing him who is invisible. {11:28} By faith, he kept the
Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the
firstborn should not touch them. {11:29} By faith, they passed through
the [4]Red Sea[4] as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so,
they were swallowed up. {11:30} By faith, the walls of Jericho fell
down, after they had been encircled for seven days. {11:31} By faith,
Rahab the prostitute, didn't perish with those who were disobedient,
having received the spies in peace. {11:32} What more shall I say? For
the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah,
David, Samuel, and the prophets; {11:33} who, through faith subdued
kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the
mouths of lions,[5] {11:34} quenched the power of fire,[6] escaped the
edge of the sword,[7] from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in
war, and caused foreign armies to flee. {11:35} Women received their
dead by resurrection.[8] Others were tortured, not accepting their
deliverance, that they might obtain a

{4:1} Behold, you are beautiful, my love.
Behold, you are beautiful.
Your eyes are doves behind your veil.
Your hair is as a flock of goats,
that descend from Mount Gilead.
{4:2} 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 among them.
{4:3} Your lips are like scarlet thread.
Your mouth is lovely.
Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
{4:4} Your neck is like David's tower built for an armory,
whereon a thousand shields hang,
all the shields of the mighty men.
{4:5} Your two breasts are like two fawns
that are twins of a roe,
which feed among the lilies.
{4:6} Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh,
to the hill of frankincense.
{4:7} You are all beautiful, my love.
There is no spot in you.
{4:8} 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.
{4:9} 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.
{4:10} 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!
{4:11} 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.
{4:12} A locked up garden is my sister, my bride;
a locked up spring,
a sealed fountain.
{4:13} Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious
fruits:
henna with spikenard plants,
{4:14} spikenard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree;
myrrh and aloes, with all the best spices,
{4:15} a fountain of gardens,
a well of living waters,
flowing streams from Lebanon.

{4:16} 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.
Lover
{5:1} 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.
Friends
Eat, friends!
Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.
Beloved
{5:2} 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.
{5:3} I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on?
I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
{5:4} My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening.
My heart pounded for him.
{5:5} I rose up to open for my beloved.
My hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with liquid myrrh,
on the handles of the lock.
{5:6} 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.
{5:7} 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.
{5:8} I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,
If you find my beloved,
that you tell him that I am faint with love.
Friends
{5:9} How is your beloved better than another beloved,
you fairest among women?
How is your beloved better than another beloved,
that you do so adjure us?
Beloved
{5:10} My beloved is white and ruddy.
The best among ten thousand.
{5:11} His head is like the purest gold.
His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
{5:12} His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks,
washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
{5:13} His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes.
His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
{5:14} His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl.
His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
{5:15} His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
{5:16} His mouth is sweetness;
yes, he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, and this is my friend,
daughters of Jerusalem.
Friends
{6:1} Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women?
Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?
Beloved
{6:2} My beloved has gone down to his garden,
to the beds of spices,
to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
{6:3} I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine.
He browses among the lilies,

lovely as Jerusalem,
awesome as an army with banners.

The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 10
{10:1} For the Torah, having a shadow of the good to come, not the
very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by
year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
{10:2} Or else wouldn't they have ceased to be offered, because the
worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more
consciousness of sins? {10:3} But in those sacrifices there is a
yearly reminder of sins. {10:4} For it is impossible that the blood of
bulls and goats should take away sins. {10:5} Therefore when he comes
into the world, he says,
Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire,
but you prepared a body for me;
{10:6} You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for
sin.
{10:7} Then I said, 'Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book
it is written of me)
to do your will, O God.'[1]
{10:8} Previously saying, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt
offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn't desire, neither had
pleasure in them (those which are offered according to the Torah),
{10:9} then he has said, Behold, I have come to do your will. He
takes away the first, that he may establish the second, {10:10} by
which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of
Yeshua the Messiah once for all. {10:11} Every priest indeed stands
day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can
never take away sins, {10:12} but he, when he had offered one
sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; {10:13}
from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his
feet. {10:14} For by one offering he has perfected forever those who
are being sanctified. {10:15} The Holy Spirit also testifies to us,
for after saying,
{10:16} This is the covenant that I will make with them:
'After those days,' says the Lord,
'I will put my laws on their heart,
I will also write them on their mind;'[2]
then he says,
{10:17} I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.[3]
{10:18} Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering
for sin. {10:19} Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into
the holy place by the blood of Yeshua, {10:20} by the way which he
dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to
say, his flesh; {10:21} and having a great priest over God's house,
{10:22} let's draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body
washed with pure water, {10:23} let us hold fast the confession of our
hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
{10:24} Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good
works, {10:25} not forsaking our own assembling together, as the
custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as
you see the Day approaching. {10:26} For if we sin willfully after we
have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a
sacrifice for sins, {10:27} but a certain fearful expectation of
judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
{10:28} A man who disregards the Torah of Moses dies without
compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. {10:29} How much
worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has
trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the
covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has
insulted the Spirit of grace? {10:30} For we know him who said,
Vengeance belongs to me, says the Lord, I will repay.[4] Again,
The Lord will judge his people.[5] {10:31} It is a fearful thing to
fall into the hands of the living God. {10:32} But remember the former
days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great
struggle with sufferings; {10:33} partly, being exposed to both
reproaches and oppressions; and partly, becoming partakers with those
who were treated so. {10:34} For you both had compassion on me in my
chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions,
knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an
enduring one in the heavens. {10:35} Therefore don't throw away your
boldness, which has a great reward. {10:36} For you need endurance so
that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
{10:37} In a very little while,
he who comes will come, and will not wait.
{10:38} But the righteous will live by faith.
If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.[6]
{10:39} But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but
of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

Song of Solomon, starting at chapter 1
{1:1} The Song of songs, which is Solomon's.
Beloved
{1:2} Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth;
for your love is better than wine.
{1:3} Your oils have a pleasing fragrance.
Your name is oil poured forth,
therefore the virgins love you.
{1:4} Take me away with you.
Let us hurry.
The king has brought me into his rooms.
Friends
We will be glad and rejoice in you.
We will praise your love more than wine!
Beloved
They are right to love you.
{1:5} I am dark, but lovely,
you daughters of Jerusalem,
like Kedar's tents,
like Solomon's curtains.
{1:6} 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.
{1:7} 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?
Lover
{1:8} If you don't know, most beautiful among women,
follow the tracks of the sheep.
Graze your young goats beside the shepherds' tents.
{1:9} I have compared you, my love,
to a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
{1:10} Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings,
your neck with strings of jewels.
{1:11} We will make you earrings of gold,
with studs of silver.
Beloved
{1:12} While the king sat at his table,
my perfume spread its fragrance.
{1:13} My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh,
that lies between my breasts.
{1:14} My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
from the vineyards of En Gedi.
Lover
{1:15} Behold, you are beautiful, my love.
Behold, you are beautiful.
Your eyes are doves.
Beloved
{1:16} Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant;
and our couch is verdant.
Lover
{1:17} The beams of our house are cedars.
Our rafters are firs.
Beloved
{2:1} I am a rose of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys.
Lover
{2:2} As a lily among thorns,
so is my love among the daughters.
Beloved
{2:3} As the apple tree among the trees of the wood,
so is my beloved among the sons.
I sat down under his shadow with great delight,
his fruit was sweet to my taste.
{2:4} He brought me to the banquet hall.
His banner over me is love.
{2:5} Strengthen me with raisins,
refresh me with apples;
For I am faint with love.
{2:6} His left hand is under my head.
His right hand embraces me.
{2:7} 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.
{2:8} The voice of my beloved!
Behold, he comes,
leaping on the mountains,
skipping on the hills.
{2:9} My beloved is like a roe or a young hart.
Behold, he stands behind our wall!
He looks in at the windows.
He glances through the lattice.
{2:10} My beloved spoke, and said to me,
Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
{2:11} For, behold, the winter is past.
The rain is over and gone.
{2:12} The flowers appear on the earth.
The time of the singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
{2:13} The fig tree ripens her green figs.
The vines are in blossom.
They give forth their fragrance.
Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away.
Lover
{2:14} 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.
{2:15} Catch for us the foxes,
the little foxes that spoil the vineyards;
for our vineyards are in blossom.
Beloved
{2:16} My beloved is mine, and I am his.
He browses among the lilies.
{2:17} Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,
turn, my beloved,
and be like a roe or a young hart on the mountains of Bether.
{3:1} By night on my bed,
I sought him whom my soul loves.
I sought him, but I didn't find him.
{3:2} 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.
{3:3} The watchmen who go about the city found me;
Have you seen him whom my soul loves?
{3:4} 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.
{3:5} 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.
{3:6} Who is this who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of
smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all spices of the merchant?
{3:7} Behold, it is Solomon's carriage!
Sixty mighty men are around it,
of the mighty men of Israel.
{3:8} They all handle the sword, and

The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 9
{9:1} Now indeed even the first[1] covenant had ordinances of divine
service, and an earthly sanctuary. {9:2} For a tabernacle was
prepared. In the first part were the menorah, the table, and the show
bread; which is called the Holy Place. {9:3} After the second veil was
the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, {9:4} having a
golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all
sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron's
rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; {9:5} and above it
cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we
can't speak now in detail. {9:6} Now these things having been thus
prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle,
accomplishing the services, {9:7} but into the second the high priest
alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for
himself, and for the errors of the people. {9:8} The Holy Spirit is
indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn't yet revealed
while the first tabernacle was still standing; {9:9} which is a symbol
of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are
incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper
perfect; {9:10} being only (with meats and drinks and various
washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
{9:11} But Messiah having come as a high priest of the coming good
things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with
hands, that is to say, not of this creation, {9:12} nor yet through
the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in
once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.
{9:13} For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer
sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of
the flesh: {9:14} how much more will the blood of Messiah, who through
the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse
your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? {9:15} For
this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has
occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the
first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the
promise of the eternal inheritance. {9:16} For where a last will and
testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.
{9:17} For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is
never in force while he who made it lives. {9:18} Therefore even the
first covenant has not been dedicated without blood. {9:19} For when
every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according
to the Torah, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with
water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself
and all the people, {9:20} saying, This is the blood of the covenant
which God has commanded you.[2]
{9:21} Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of
the ministry in the same way with the blood. {9:22} According to the
Torah, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from
shedding of blood there is no remission. {9:23} It was necessary
therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be
cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better
sacrifices than these. {9:24} For Messiah hasn't entered into holy
places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but
into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
{9:25} nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest
enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own, {9:26}
or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world.
But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away
sin by the sacrifice of himself. {9:27} Inasmuch as it is appointed
for men to die once, and after this, judgment, {9:28} so Messiah also,
having been offered once to [3]bear the sins of many,[3] will appear
a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him
for salvation.

arch...@jab.org
Ecclesiastes, starting at chapter 10
{10:1} Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an
evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor. {10:2} A
wise man's heart is at his right hand, but a fool's heart at his left.
{10:3} Yes also, when the fool walks by the way, his understanding
fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool. {10:4} If the
spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don't leave your place; for
gentleness lays great offenses to rest.
{10:5} There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, the sort of
error which proceeds from the ruler. {10:6} Folly is set in great
dignity, and the rich sit in a low place. {10:7} I have seen servants
on horses, and princes walking like servants on the earth. {10:8} He
who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may
be bitten by a snake. {10:9} Whoever carves out stones may be injured
by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered thereby. {10:10} If the
axe is blunt, and one doesn't sharpen the edge, then he must use more
strength; but skill brings success.
{10:11} If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no
profit for the charmer's tongue. {10:12} The words of a wise man's
mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips. {10:13}
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of
his talk is mischievous madness. {10:14} A fool also multiplies words.
Man doesn't know what will be; and that which will be after him, who
can tell him? {10:15} The labor of fools wearies every one of them;
for he doesn't know how to go to the city.
{10:16} Woe to you, land, when your king is a child,
and your princes eat in the morning! {10:17} 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!
{10:18} By slothfulness the roof sinks in;
and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
{10:19} A feast is made for laughter,
and wine makes the life glad;
and money is the answer for all things.
{10:20} 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.
{11:1} Cast your bread on the waters;
for you shall find it after many days.
{11:2} Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight;
for you don't know what evil will be on the earth.
{11:3} If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the
earth;
and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north,
in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.
{11:4} He who observes the wind won't sow;
and he who regards the clouds won't reap.
{11:5} 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.
{11:6} 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.
{11:7} Truly the light is sweet,
and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to see the sun.
{11:8} 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.
{11:9} 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 judgment.
{11:10} Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
and put away evil from your flesh;
for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
{12:1} 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;
{12:2} Before the sun, the light, the moon, and the stars are darkened,
and the clouds return after the rain;
{12:3} 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,
{12:4} 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;
{12:5} yes, they shall be afraid of heights,
and terrors will be in 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:
{12:6} 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,
{12:7} and the dust returns to the earth as it was,

The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 8
{8:1} Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this.
We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the
throne of the Majesty in the heavens, {8:2} a servant of the
sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not
man. {8:3} For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and
sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have
something to offer. {8:4} For if he were on earth, he would not be a
priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according
to the Torah; {8:5} who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly
things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the
tabernacle, for he said, See, you shall make everything according to
the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.[1] {8:6} But now
he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also
the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been
given as Torah. {8:7} For if that first covenant had been faultless,
then no place would have been sought for a second. {8:8} For finding
fault with them, he said,
Behold, the days come, says the Lord,
that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with
the house of Judah;
{8:9} not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers,
in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land
of Egypt;
for they didn't continue in my covenant,
and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
{8:10} For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel.
After those days, says the Lord;
I will put my laws into their mind,
I will also write them on their heart.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
{8:11} They will not teach every man his [2]fellow citizen,[2]
and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,'
for all will know me,
from their least to their greatest.
{8:12} For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness.
I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.[3]
{8:13} In that he says, A new covenant, he has made the first old.
But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing
away.

Ecclesiastes, starting at chapter 7
{7:1} A good name is better than fine perfume; and the day of death
better than the day of one's birth. {7:2} 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. {7:3} Sorrow
is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the face the heart is
made good. {7:4} The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning;
but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. {7:5} It is better to
hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
{7:6} For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter
of the fool. This also is vanity. {7:7} Surely extortion makes the
wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding. {7:8} Better
is the end of a thing than its beginning.
The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. {7:9}
Don't be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the
bosom of fools. {7:10} Don't say, Why were the former days better
than these? For you do not ask wisely about this.
{7:11} Wisdom is as good as an inheritance. Yes, it is more
excellent for those who see the sun. {7:12} For wisdom is a defense,
even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that
wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.
{7:13} Consider the work of God, for who can make that straight,
which he has made crooked? {7:14} 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.
{7:15} All this have I 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. {7:16} Don't be overly righteous,
neither make yourself overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
{7:17} Don't be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die
before your time? {7:18} It is good that you should take hold of this.
Yes, also from that don't withdraw your hand; for he who fears God
will come forth from them all. {7:19} Wisdom is a strength to the wise
man more than ten rulers who are in a city. {7:20} Surely there is not
a righteous man on earth, who does good and doesn't sin. {7:21} Also
don't take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your
servant curse you; {7:22} for often your own heart knows that you
yourself have likewise cursed others. {7:23} All this have I proved in
wisdom. I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. {7:24} That
which is, is far off and exceedingly deep. Who can find it out? {7:25}
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.
{7:26} 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.
{7:27} Behold, I have found this, says [1]Kohelet[1], one to
another, to find out the scheme; {7:28} which my soul still seeks; but
I have not found. One man among a thousand have I found; but I have
not found a woman among all those. {7:29} Behold, this only have I
found: that God made man upright; but they search for many schemes.
{8:1} 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. {8:2} I say, Keep the king's command! because of
the oath to God. {8:3} Don't be hasty to go out of his presence. Don't
persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him, {8:4} for
the king's word is supreme. Who can say to him, What are you doing?
{8:5} Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his
wise heart will know the time and procedure. {8:6} For there is a time
and procedure for every purpose, although the misery of man is heavy
on him. {8:7} For he doesn't know that which will be; for who can tell
him how it will be? {8:8} 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 practice it.
{8:9} All this have I 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. {8:10} 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. {8:11} 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. {8:12} 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

The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 7
{7:1} For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High,
who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed
him, {7:2} to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being
first, by interpretation, king of righteousness, and then also king of
Salem, which is king of peace; {7:3} without father, without mother,
without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life,
but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually. {7:4} Now
consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch,
gave a tenth out of the best spoils. {7:5} They indeed of the sons of
Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes
of the people according to the Torah, that is, of their brothers,
though these have come out of the body of Abraham, {7:6} but he whose
genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham,
and has blessed him who has the promises. {7:7} But without any
dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater. {7:8} Here people who
die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is
testified that he lives. {7:9} We can say that through Abraham even
Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes, {7:10} for he was yet in
the body of his father when Melchizedek met him. {7:11} Now if there
were perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the
people have received the law), what further need was there for another
priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called
after the order of Aaron? {7:12} For the priesthood being changed,
there is of necessity a change made also in the law. {7:13} For he of
whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one
has officiated at the altar. {7:14} For it is evident that our Lord
has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing
concerning priesthood. {7:15} This is yet more abundantly evident, if
after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest, {7:16}
who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but
after the power of an endless life: {7:17} for it is testified,
You are a priest forever,
according to the order of Melchizedek.[1]
{7:18} For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because
of its weakness and uselessness {7:19} (for the law made nothing
perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw
near to God. {7:20} Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the
taking of an oath {7:21} (for they indeed have been made priests
without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him,
The Lord swore and will not change his mind,
'You are a priest forever,
according to the order of Melchizedek.'[2]
{7:22} By so much, Yeshua has become the collateral of a better
covenant. {7:23} Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they
are hindered from continuing by death. {7:24} But he, because he lives
forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. {7:25} Therefore he is also
able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him,
seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
{7:26} For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless,
undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
{7:27} who doesn't need, like those high priests, to offer up
sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the
people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
{7:28} For the Torah appoints men as high priests who have weakness,
but the word of the oath which came after the Torah appoints a Son
forever who has been perfected.

[HNV] Eccl 4, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Ecclesiastes, starting at chapter 4
{4:1} 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. {4:2} Therefore I praised the dead
who have been long dead more than the living who are yet alive. {4:3}
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. {4:4} Then I saw all
the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man's neighbor. This
also is vanity and a striving after wind.
{4:5} The fool folds his hands together and ruins himself. {4:6}
Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and
chasing after wind.
{4:7} Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun. {4:8} There is
one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end
to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. For
whom then, do I labor, and deprive my soul of enjoyment? This also is
vanity. Yes, it is a miserable business.
{4:9} Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for
their labor. {4:10} 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. {4:11} Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth;
but how can one keep warm alone? {4:12} If a man prevails against one
who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not
quickly broken.
{4:13} Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king
who doesn't know how to receive admonition any more. {4:14} For out of
prison he came forth to be king; yes, even in his kingdom he was born
poor. {4:15} I saw all the living who walk under the sun, that they
were with the youth, the other, who succeeded him. {4:16} 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.
{5:1} 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. {5:2} 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. {5:3}
For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool's speech
with a multitude of words. {5:4} 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. {5:5} It is better that you should not vow, than that you should
vow and not pay. {5:6} 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? {5:7}
For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, as well as in many
words: but you must fear God.
{5:8} 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. {5:9} Moreover the profit of the earth is for
all. The king profits from the field.
{5:10} He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor
he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity. {5:11}
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?
{5:12} The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little
or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.
{5:13} There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun:
wealth kept by its owner to his harm. {5:14} Those riches perish by
misfortune, and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his
hand. {5:15} As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked shall he
go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he
may carry away in his hand. {5:16} This also is a grievous evil, that
in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have
who labors for the wind? {5:17} All his days he also eats in darkness,
he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath.
{5:18} 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 labor, in which
he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given
him; for this is his portion. {5:19} 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 labor--this is the gift of
God. {5:20} For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life;
because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.
{6:1} There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is
[HNV] The Letter to the Hebrews 6, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 6
{6:1} Therefore leaving the teaching of the first principles of
Messiah, let us press on to perfection--not laying again a foundation
of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God, {6:2} of the
teaching of [1]immersions[1], of laying on of hands, of resurrection
of the dead, and of eternal judgment. {6:3} This will we do, if God
permits. {6:4} For concerning those who were once enlightened and
tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy
Spirit, {6:5} and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the
age to come, {6:6} and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them
again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves
again, and put him to open shame. {6:7} For the land which has drunk
the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop suitable for
them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;
{6:8} but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near
being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
{6:9} But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and
things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
{6:10} For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the
labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the
holy ones, and still do serve them. {6:11} We desire that each one of
you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the
end, {6:12} that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who
through faith and patience inherited the promises. {6:13} For when God
made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he
swore by himself, {6:14} saying, Surely blessing I will bless you,
and multiplying I will multiply you.[2] {6:15} Thus, having patiently
endured, he obtained the promise. {6:16} For men indeed swear by a
greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for
confirmation. {6:17} In this way God, being determined to show more
abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his
counsel, interposed with an oath; {6:18} that by two immutable things,
in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong
encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set
before us. {6:19} This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope
both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the
veil; {6:20} where as a forerunner Yeshua entered for us, having
become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

[HNV] Eccl 1, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Ecclesiastes, starting at chapter 1
{1:1} The words of [1]Kohelet[1], the son of David, king in
Jerusalem:
{1:2} Vanity of vanities, says [2]Kohelet[2]; Vanity of
vanities, all is vanity. {1:3} What does man gain from all his labor
in which he labors under the sun? {1:4} One generation goes, and
another generation comes; but the earth remains forever. {1:5} The sun
also rises, and the sun goes down, and hurries to its place where it
rises. {1:6} The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the
north. It turns around continually as it goes, and the wind returns
again to its courses. {1:7} All the rivers run into the sea, yet the
sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, there they flow
again. {1:8} All things are full of weariness beyond uttering. The eye
is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. {1:9}
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. {1:10} 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. {1:11}
There is no memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of
the latter that are to come, among those that shall come after.
{1:12} I, [3]Kohelet[3], was king over Israel in Jerusalem. {1:13}
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 [4]God[4] has
given to the sons of men to be afflicted with. {1:14} I have seen all
the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a
chasing after wind. {1:15} That which is crooked can't be made
straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted. {1:16} 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. {1:17} I applied my heart to know wisdom, and
to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing
after wind. {1:18} For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who
increases knowledge increases sorrow.
{2:1} I said in my heart, Come now, I will test you with mirth:
therefore enjoy pleasure; and behold, this also was vanity. {2:2} I
said of laughter, It is foolishness; and of mirth, What does it
accomplish?
{2:3} 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. {2:4} I made myself great
works. I built myself houses. I planted myself vineyards. {2:5} I made
myself gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of
fruit. {2:6} I made myself pools of water, to water from it the forest
where trees were reared. {2:7} 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; {2:8} 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. {2:9} So I was great, and increased more than all
who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.
{2:10} 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 labor, and this was my portion from all my labor. {2:11} Then I
looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor
that I had labored to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing
after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
{2:12} 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. {2:13} Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light
excels darkness. {2:14} The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the
fool walks in darkness--and yet I perceived that one event happens to
them all. {2:15} 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. {2:16} For of the wise man,
even as of the fool, there is no memory for ever, since in the days to
come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die
just like the fool!
{2:17} 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.
{2:18} I hated all my labor in which I labored under the sun, because
I must leave it to the man who comes after me. {2:19} Who knows
whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have rule over
all of my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown
myself wise under the sun. This also
[HNV] The Letter to the Hebrews 5, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 5
{5:1} For every high priest, being taken from among men, is
appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both
gifts and sacrifices for sins. {5:2} The high priest can deal gently
with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is
also surrounded with weakness. {5:3} Because of this, he must offer
sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself. {5:4}
Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like
Aaron was. {5:5} So also Messiah didn't glorify himself to be made a
high priest, but it was he who said to him,
You are my Son.
Today I have become your father.[1]
{5:6} As he says also in another place,
You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.[2]
{5:7} He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and
petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him
from death, and having been heard for his godly fear, {5:8} though he
was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
{5:9} Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him
the author of eternal salvation, {5:10} named by God a high priest
after the order of Melchizedek. {5:11} About him we have many words to
say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.
{5:12} For although by this time you should be teachers, you again
need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles
of the oracles of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.
{5:13} For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word
of righteousness, for he is a baby. {5:14} But solid food is for those
who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised
to discern good and evil.

arch...@jab.org
Proverbs, starting at chapter 31
{31:1} The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught
him.
{31:2} Oh, my son!
Oh, son of my womb!
Oh, son of my vows!
{31:3} Don't give your strength to women,
nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
{31:4} It is not for kings, Lemuel;
it is not for kings to drink wine;
nor for princes to say, 'Where is strong drink?'
{31:5} lest they drink, and forget the decree,
and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
{31:6} Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish;
and wine to the bitter in soul:
{31:7} Let him drink, and forget his poverty,
and remember his misery no more.
{31:8} Open your mouth for the mute,
in the cause of all who are left desolate.
{31:9} Open your mouth, judge righteously,
and serve justice to the poor and needy.
{31:10} [1]Who can find a worthy woman?
For her price is far above rubies.
{31:11} The heart of her husband trusts in her.
He shall have no lack of gain.
{31:12} She does him good, and not harm,
all the days of her life.
{31:13} She seeks wool and flax,
and works eagerly with her hands.
{31:14} She is like the merchant ships.
She brings her bread from afar.
{31:15} She rises also while it is yet night,
gives food to her household,
and portions for her servant girls.
{31:16} She considers a field, and buys it.
With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.
{31:17} She arms her waist with strength,
and makes her arms strong.
{31:18} She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
Her lamp doesn't go out by night.
{31:19} She lays her hands to the distaff,
and her hands hold the spindle.
{31:20} She opens her arms to the poor;
yes, she extends her hands to the needy.
{31:21} She is not afraid of the snow for her household;
for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
{31:22} She makes for herself carpets of tapestry.
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
{31:23} Her husband is respected in the gates,
when he sits among the elders of the land.
{31:24} She makes linen garments and sells them,
and delivers sashes to the merchant.
{31:25} Strength and dignity are her clothing.
She laughs at the time to come.
{31:26} She opens her mouth with wisdom.
Faithful instruction is on her tongue.
{31:27} She looks well to the ways of her household,
and doesn't eat the bread of idleness.
{31:28} Her children rise up and call her blessed.
Her husband also praises her:
{31:29} Many women do noble things,
but you excel them all.
{31:30} Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain;
but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
{31:31} Give her of the fruit of her hands!
Let her works praise her in the gates!

The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 4
{4:1} Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem
to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest. {4:2} For
indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did,
but the word they heard didn't profit them, because it wasn't mixed
with faith by those who heard. {4:3} For we who have believed do enter
into that rest, even as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, they
will not enter into my rest;[1] although the works were finished from
the foundation of the world. {4:4} For he has said this somewhere
about the seventh day, God rested on the seventh day from all his
works;[2] {4:5} and in this place again, They will not enter into my
rest.[3]
{4:6} Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein,
and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in
because of disobedience, {4:7} he again defines a certain day, today,
saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said),
Today if you will hear his voice,
don't harden your hearts.[4]
{4:8} For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken
afterward of another day. {4:9} There remains therefore a Sabbath rest
for the people of God. {4:10} For he who has entered into his rest has
himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. {4:11} Let us
therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall
after the same example of disobedience. {4:12} For the word of God is
living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing
even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow,
and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
{4:13} There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all
things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we
have to do. {4:14} Having then a great high priest, who has passed
through the heavens, Yeshua, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to
our confession. {4:15} For we don't have a high priest who can't be
touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in
all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. {4:16} Let us
therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may
receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.

arch...@jab.org
Proverbs, starting at chapter 28
{28:1} The wicked flee when no one pursues;
but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
{28:2} In rebellion, a land has many rulers,
but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.
{28:3} A needy man who oppresses the poor
is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
{28:4} Those who forsake the Torah praise the wicked;
but those who keep the Torah contend with them.
{28:5} Evil men don't understand justice;
but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
{28:6} Better is the poor who walks in his integrity,
than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
{28:7} Whoever keeps the Torah is a wise son;
but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
{28:8} He who increases his wealth by excessive interest
gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.
{28:9} He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah,
even his prayer is an abomination.
{28:10} Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way,
he will fall into his own trap;
but the blameless will inherit good.
{28:11} The rich man is wise in his own eyes;
but the poor who has understanding sees through him.
{28:12} When the righteous triumph, there is great glory;
but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
{28:13} He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper,
but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
{28:14} Blessed is the man who always fears;
but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
{28:15} As a roaring lion or a charging bear,
so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
{28:16} A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment.
One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.
{28:17} A man who is tormented by life blood will be a fugitive until
death;
no one will support him.
{28:18} Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe;
but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
{28:19} One who works his land will have an abundance of food;
but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
{28:20} A faithful man is rich with blessings;
but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
{28:21} To show partiality is not good;
yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
{28:22} A stingy man hurries after riches,
and doesn't know that poverty waits for him.
{28:23} One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor
than one who flatters with the tongue.
{28:24} Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, It's not
wrong.
He is a partner with a destroyer.
{28:25} One who is greedy stirs up strife;
but one who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
{28:26} One who trusts in himself is a fool;
but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
{28:27} One who gives to the poor has no lack;
but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
{28:28} When the wicked rise, men hide themselves;
but when they perish, the righteous thrive.
{29:1} He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck
will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.
{29:2} When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;
but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
{29:3} Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father;
but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
{29:4} The king by justice makes the land stable,
but he who takes bribes tears it down.
{29:5} A man who flatters his neighbor
spreads a net for his feet.
{29:6} An evil man is snared by his sin,
but the righteous can sing and be glad.
{29:7} The righteous care about justice for the poor.
The wicked aren't concerned about knowledge.
{29:8} Mockers stir up a city,
but wise men turn away anger.
{29:9} If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man,
the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.
{29:10} The bloodthirsty hate a man of integrity;
and they seek the life of the upright.
{29:11} A fool vents all of his anger,
but a wise man brings himself under control.
{29:12} If a ruler listens to lies,
all of his officials are wicked.
{29:13} The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The LORD gives sight to the eyes of both.
{29:14} The king who fairly judges the poor,
his throne shall be established forever.
{29:15} The rod of correction gives wisdom,
but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
{29:16} When the wicked increase, sin increases;
but the righteous will see their downfall.
{29:17} Correct your son, and he will give you peace;
yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
{29:18} Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
but one who keeps the Torah is blessed.
{29:19} A servant can't be corrected by words.
Though he understands, yet he will not respond.
{29:20} Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
{29:21} He who pampers his servant from youth
will have him become a son in the end.

The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 1
{1:1} God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the
prophets at many times and in various ways, {1:2} has at the end of
these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all
things, through whom also he made the worlds. {1:3} His Son is the
radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding
all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made
purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty
on high; {1:4} having become so much better than the angels, as he has
inherited a more excellent name than they have. {1:5} For to which of
the angels did he say at any time,
You are my Son.
Today have I become your father?[1]
and again,
I will be to him a Father,
and he will be to me a Son?[2]
{1:6} Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says,
Let all the angels of God worship him. {1:7} Of the angels he says,
Who makes his angels winds,
and his servants a flame of fire.[3]
{1:8} But of the Son he says,
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
{1:9} You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness
above your fellows.[4]
{1:10} And,
You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth.
The heavens are the works of your hands.
{1:11} They will perish, but you continue.
They all will grow old like a garment does.
{1:12} As a mantle, you will roll them up,
and they will be changed;
but you are the same.
Your years will not fail.[5]
{1:13} But which of the angels has he told at any time,
Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?[6]
{1:14} Aren't they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for
the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

[HNV] Proverbs 19, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Proverbs, starting at chapter 19
{19:1} Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
{19:2} It isn't good to have zeal without knowledge;
nor being hasty with one's feet and missing the way.
{19:3} The foolishness of man subverts his way;
his heart rages against the LORD.
{19:4} Wealth adds many friends,
but the poor is separated from his friend.
{19:5} A false witness shall not be unpunished.
He who pours out lies shall not go free.
{19:6} Many will entreat the favor of a ruler,
and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
{19:7} All the relatives of the poor shun him:
how much more do his friends avoid him!
He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
{19:8} He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.
He who keeps understanding shall find good.
{19:9} A false witness shall not be unpunished.
He who utters lies shall perish.
{19:10} Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,
much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
{19:11} The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger.
It is his glory to overlook an offense.
{19:12} The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.
{19:13} A foolish son is the calamity of his father.
A wife's quarrels are a continual dripping.
{19:14} House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
{19:15} Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep.
The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
{19:16} He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
{19:17} He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD;
he will reward him.
{19:18} Discipline your son, for there is hope;
don't be a willing party to his death.
{19:19} A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty,
for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
{19:20} Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
that you may be wise in your latter end.
{19:21} There are many plans in a man's heart,
but the LORD's counsel will prevail.
{19:22} That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness.
A poor man is better than a liar.
{19:23} The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment;
he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
{19:24} The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
{19:25} Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;
rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
{19:26} He who robs his father and drives away his mother,
is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
{19:27} If you stop listening to instruction, my son,
you will stray from the words of knowledge.
{19:28} A corrupt witness mocks justice,
and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
{19:29} Penalties are prepared for scoffers,
and beatings for the backs of fools.
{20:1} Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler.
Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
{20:2} The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion.
He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
{20:3} It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife;
but every fool will be quarreling.
{20:4} The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter;
therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
{20:5} Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water;
but a man of understanding will draw it out.
{20:6} Many men claim to be men of unfailing love,
but who can find a faithful man?
{20:7} A righteous man walks in integrity.
Blessed are his children after him.
{20:8} A king who sits on the throne of judgment
scatters away all evil with his eyes.
{20:9} Who can say, I have made my heart pure.
I am clean and without sin?
{20:10} Differing weights and differing measures,
both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
{20:11} Even a child makes himself known by his doings,
whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.
{20:12} The hearing ear, and the seeing eye,
The LORD has made even both of them.
{20:13} Don't love sleep, lest you come to poverty.
Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
{20:14} It's no good, it's no good, says the buyer;
but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.
{20:15} There is gold and abundance of rubies;
but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.
{20:16} Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger;
and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.
{20:17} Fraudulent food is sweet to a man,
but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel.
{20:18} Plans are established by advice;
by wise guidance you wage war!
{20:19} He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets;
therefore don't keep company with him who opens wide his lips.
{20:20} Whoever curses his father or his mother,
his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.
{20:21} An inheritance quickly gained at the
[HNV] Paul's Letter to Philemon 1, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Paul's Letter to Philemon, Chapter 1
{1:1} Paul, a prisoner of Messiah Yeshua, and Timothy our brother,
to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker, {1:2} to the beloved Apphia,
to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
{1:3} Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua
the Messiah.
{1:4} I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
{1:5} hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the
Lord Yeshua, and toward all the holy ones; {1:6} that the fellowship
of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good
thing which is in us in Messiah Yeshua. {1:7} For we have much joy and
comfort in your love, because the hearts of the holy ones have been
refreshed through you, brother.
{1:8} Therefore though I have all boldness in Messiah to command you
that which is appropriate, {1:9} yet for love's sake I rather beg,
being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Yeshua the
Messiah. {1:10} I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father
of in my chains, [1]Onesimus,[1] {1:11} who once was useless to you,
but now is useful to you and to me. {1:12} I am sending him back.
Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, {1:13} whom I desired to
keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for
the Good News. {1:14} But I was willing to do nothing without your
consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free
will. {1:15} For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a
while, that you would have him forever, {1:16} no longer as a slave,
but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how
much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
{1:17} If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would
receive me. {1:18} But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you
anything, put that to my account. {1:19} I, Paul, write this with my
own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me
even your own self besides). {1:20} Yes, brother, let me have joy from
you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord. {1:21} Having
confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do
even beyond what I say.
{1:22} Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through
your prayers I will be restored to you.
{1:23} Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Messiah Yeshua, greets you,
{1:24} as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
{1:25} The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit.
Amen.

[HNV] Proverbs 16, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Proverbs, starting at chapter 16
{16:1} The plans of the heart belong to man,
but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
{16:2} All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;
but the LORD weighs the motives.
{16:3} Commit your deeds to the LORD,
and your plans shall succeed.
{16:4} The LORD has made everything for its own end--
yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
{16:5} Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD:
they shall certainly not be unpunished.
{16:6} By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for.
By the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
{16:7} When a man's ways please the LORD,
he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
{16:8} Better is a little with righteousness,
than great revenues with injustice.
{16:9} A man's heart plans his course,
but the LORD directs his steps.
{16:10} Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king.
He shall not betray his mouth.
{16:11} Honest balances and scales are the LORD's;
all the weights in the bag are his work.
{16:12} It is an abomination for kings to do wrong,
for the throne is established by righteousness.
{16:13} Righteous lips are the delight of kings.
They value one who speaks the truth.
{16:14} The king's wrath is a messenger of death,
but a wise man will pacify it.
{16:15} In the light of the king's face is life.
His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.
{16:16} How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!
Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
{16:17} The highway of the upright is to depart from evil.
He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
{16:18} Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall.
{16:19} It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor,
than to divide the plunder with the proud.
{16:20} He who heeds the Word finds prosperity.
Whoever trusts in the LORD is blessed.
{16:21} The wise in heart shall be called prudent.
Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.
{16:22} Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it,
but the punishment of fools is their folly.
{16:23} The heart of the wise instructs his mouth,
and adds learning to his lips.
{16:24} Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
{16:25} There is a way which seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.
{16:26} The appetite of the laboring man labors for him;
for his mouth urges him on.
{16:27} A worthless man devises mischief.
His speech is like a scorching fire.
{16:28} A perverse man stirs up strife.
A whisperer separates close friends.
{16:29} A man of violence entices his neighbor,
and leads him in a way that is not good.
{16:30} One who winks his eyes to plot perversities,
one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.
{16:31} Gray hair is a crown of glory.
It is attained by a life of righteousness.
{16:32} One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
{16:33} The lot is cast into the lap,
but its every decision is from the LORD.
{17:1} Better is a dry morsel with quietness,
than a house full of feasting with strife.
{17:2} A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes
shame,
and shall have a part in the inheritance among the brothers.
{17:3} The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold,
but the LORD tests the hearts.
{17:4} An evildoer heeds wicked lips.
A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
{17:5} Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker.
He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
{17:6} Children's children are the crown of old men;
the glory of children are their parents.
{17:7} Arrogant speech isn't fitting for a fool,
much less do lying lips fit a prince.
{17:8} A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it;
wherever he turns, he prospers.
{17:9} He who covers an offense promotes love;
but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
{17:10} A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding
than a hundred lashes into a fool.
{17:11} An evil man seeks only rebellion;
therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
{17:12} Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man,
rather than a fool in his folly.
{17:13} Whoever rewards evil for good,
evil shall not depart from his house.
{17:14} The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam,
therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.
{17:15} He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous,
both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
{17:16} Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
since he has no understanding?
{17:17} A friend loves at all times;
and a brother is born for adversity.
{17:18} A man void of understanding strikes hands,
and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
[HNV] Paul's Letter to Titus 3, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Paul's Letter to Titus, Chapter 3
{3:1} Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities,
to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, {3:2} to speak evil
of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility
toward all men. {3:3} For we were also once foolish, disobedient,
deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and
envy, hateful, and hating one another. {3:4} But when the kindness of
God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared, {3:5} not by
works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his
mercy, he saved us, through the mikveh of rebirth and renewing by the
Holy Spirit, {3:6} whom he poured out on us richly, through Yeshua the
Messiah our Savior; {3:7} that, being justified by his grace, we might
be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. {3:8} This saying
is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm
confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to
maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;
{3:9} but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes
about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. {3:10} Avoid a
factious man after a first and second warning; {3:11} knowing that
such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
{3:12} When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come
to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there. {3:13} Send
Zenas, the Torah scholar, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that
nothing may be lacking for them. {3:14} Let our people also learn to
maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be
unfruitful.
{3:15} All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in
faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

Proverbs, starting at chapter 13

but a scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke.

{13:9} The light of the righteous shines brightly,
but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.

but he who respects a command will be rewarded.

to turn from the snares of death.

for you won't find knowledge on his lips.

but in the end it leads to death.

{14:19} The evil bow down before the good,
and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

Paul's Letter to Titus, Chapter 2
{2:1} But say the things which fit sound doctrine, {2:2} that older
men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in
love, and in patience: {2:3} and that older women likewise be reverent
in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of
that which is good; {2:4} that they may train the young women to love
their husbands, to love their children, {2:5} to be sober minded,
chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own
husbands, that God's word may not be blasphemed. {2:6} Likewise,
exhort the younger men to be sober minded; {2:7} in all things showing
yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity,
seriousness, incorruptibility, {2:8} and soundness of speech that
can't be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no
evil thing to say about us. {2:9} Exhort servants to be in subjection
to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not
contradicting; {2:10} not stealing, but showing all good fidelity;
that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
{2:11} For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all
men, {2:12} instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this
present world; {2:13} looking for the blessed hope and appearing of
the glory of our great God and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah; {2:14} who
gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and
purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good
works. {2:15} Say these things and exhort and reprove with all
authority. Let no man despise you.

[HNV] Proverbs 10, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Proverbs, starting at chapter 10
{10:1} The proverbs of Solomon.
A wise son makes a glad father;
but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
{10:2} Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
but righteousness delivers from death.
{10:3} The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry,
but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
{10:4} He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand,
but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.
{10:5} He who gathers in summer is a wise son,
but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.
{10:6} Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
{10:7} The memory of the righteous is blessed,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
{10:8} The wise in heart accept commandments,
but a chattering fool will fall.
{10:9} He who walks blamelessly walks surely,
but he who perverts his ways will be found out.
{10:10} One winking with the eye causes sorrow,
but a chattering fool will fall.
{10:11} The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life,
but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
{10:12} Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all wrongs.
{10:13} Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment,
but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.
{10:14} Wise men lay up knowledge,
but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.
{10:15} The rich man's wealth is his strong city.
The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
{10:16} The labor of the righteous leads to life.
The increase of the wicked leads to sin.
{10:17} He is in the way of life who heeds correction,
but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.
{10:18} He who hides hatred has lying lips.
He who utters a slander is a fool.
{10:19} In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,
but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
{10:20} The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver.
The heart of the wicked is of little worth.
{10:21} The lips of the righteous feed many,
but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
{10:22} The LORD's blessing brings wealth,
and he adds no trouble to it.
{10:23} It is a fool's pleasure to do wickedness,
but wisdom is a man of understanding's pleasure.
{10:24} What the wicked fear, will overtake them,
but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
{10:25} When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more;
but the righteous stand firm forever.
{10:26} As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,
so is the sluggard to those who send him.
{10:27} The fear of the LORD prolongs days,
but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
{10:28} The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hope of the wicked will perish.
{10:29} The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright,
but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
{10:30} The righteous will never be removed,
but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
{10:31} The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
{10:32} The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
{11:1} A false balance is an abomination to the LORD,
but accurate weights are his delight.
{11:2} When pride comes, then comes shame,
but with humility comes wisdom.
{11:3} The integrity of the upright shall guide them,
but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
{11:4} Riches don't profit in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death.
{11:5} The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way,
but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
{11:6} The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them,
but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
{11:7} When a wicked man dies, hope perishes,
and expectation of power comes to nothing.
{11:8} A righteous person is delivered out of trouble,
and the wicked takes his place.
{11:9} With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor,
but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
{11:10} When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices.
When the wicked perish, there is shouting.
{11:11} By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted,
but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
{11:12} One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom,
but a man of understanding holds his peace.
{11:13} One who brings gossip betrays a confidence,
but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
{11:14} Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls,
but in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
{11:15} He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it,
but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.
{11:16} A gracious woman obtains honor,
but violent men obtain riches.
{11:17} The merciful man does good to his own soul,
but he who is cruel troubles his own
[HNV] Paul's Letter to Titus 1, World English Bible: Messianic Edition

Paul's Letter to Titus, Chapter 1
{1:1} Paul, a servant of God, and an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah,
according to the faith of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the
truth which is according to godliness, {1:2} in hope of eternal life,
which God, who can't lie, promised before time began; {1:3} but in his
own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted
according to the commandment of God our Savior; {1:4} to Titus, my
true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from
God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah our Savior.
{1:5} I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in
order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city,
as I directed you; {1:6} if anyone is blameless, the husband of one
wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or
unruly behavior. {1:7} For the overseer must be blameless, as God's
steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not
violent, not greedy for dishonest gain; {1:8} but given to
hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy,
self-controlled; {1:9} holding to the faithful word which is according
to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine,
and to convict those who contradict him. {1:10} For there are also
many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the
circumcision, {1:11} whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow
whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest
gain's sake. {1:12} One of them, a prophet of their own, said,
Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons. {1:13}
This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that
they may be sound in the faith, {1:14} not paying attention to Jewish
fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. {1:15} To
the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and
unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience
are defiled. {1:16} They profess that they know God, but by their
works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any
good work.

[HNV] Proverbs 7, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
arch...@jab.org
Proverbs, starting at chapter 7
{7:1} My son, keep my words.
Lay up my commandments within you.
{7:2} Keep my commandments and live!
Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.
{7:3} Bind them on your fingers.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
{7:4} Tell wisdom, You are my sister.
Call understanding your relative,
{7:5} that they may keep you from the strange woman,
from the foreigner who flatters with her words.
{7:6} For at the window of my house,
I looked out through my lattice.
{7:7} I saw among the simple ones.
I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,
{7:8} passing through the street near her corner,
he went the way to her house,
{7:9} in the twilight, in the evening of the day,
in the middle of the night and in the darkness.
{7:10} Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute,
and with crafty intent.
{7:11} She is loud and defiant.
Her feet don't stay in her house.
{7:12} Now she is in the streets, now in the squares,
and lurking at every corner.
{7:13} So she caught him, and kissed him.
With an impudent face she said to him:
{7:14} Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me.
This day I have paid my vows.
{7:15} Therefore I came out to meet you,
to diligently seek your face,
and I have found you.
{7:16} I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry,
with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
{7:17} I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
{7:18} Come, let's take our fill of loving until the morning.
Let's solace ourselves with loving.
{7:19} For my husband isn't at home.
He has gone on a long journey.
{7:20} He has taken a bag of money with him.
He will come home at the full moon.
{7:21} With persuasive words, she led him astray.
With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
{7:22} He followed her immediately,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
as a fool stepping into a noose.
{7:23} Until an arrow strikes through his liver,
as a bird hurries to the snare,
and doesn't know that it will cost his life.
{7:24} Now therefore, sons, listen to me.
Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
{7:25} Don't let your heart turn to her ways.
Don't go astray in her paths,
{7:26} for she has thrown down many wounded.
Yes, all her slain are a mighty army.
{7:27} Her house is the way to [1]Sheol[1],
going down to the rooms of death.
{8:1} Doesn't wisdom cry out?
Doesn't understanding raise her voice?
{8:2} On the top of high places by the way,
where the paths meet, she stands.
{8:3} Beside the gates, at the entry of the city,
at the entry doors, she cries aloud:
{8:4} To you men, I call!
I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
{8:5} You simple, understand prudence.
You fools, be of an understanding heart.
{8:6} Hear, for I will speak excellent things.
The opening of my lips is for right things.
{8:7} For my mouth speaks truth.
Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
{8:8} All the words of my mouth are in righteousness.
There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
{8:9} They are all plain to him who understands,
right to those who find knowledge.
{8:10} Receive my instruction rather than silver;
knowledge rather than choice gold.
{8:11} For wisdom is better than rubies.
All the things that may be desired can't be compared to it.
{8:12} I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling.
Find out knowledge and discretion.
{8:13} The fear of the LORD is to hate evil.
I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
{8:14} Counsel and sound knowledge are mine.
I have understanding and power.
{8:15} By me kings reign,
and princes decree justice.
{8:16} By me princes rule;
nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.
{8:17} I love those who love me.
Those who seek me diligently will find me.
{8:18} With me are riches, honor,
enduring wealth, and prosperity.
{8:19} My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold;
my yield than choice silver.
{8:20} I walk in the way of righteousness,
in the midst of the paths of justice;
{8:21} That I may give wealth to those who love me.
I fill their treasuries.
{8:22} The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work,
before his deeds of old.
{8:23} I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,
before the earth existed.
{8:24} When there were no depths, I was brought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
{8:25} Before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills, I was brought forth;
{8:26} while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
{8:27} When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he set a circle on the surface of the deep,
{8:28} when he established the clouds above,
when the springs of the deep became strong,
{8:29} when he gave to the sea its boundary,
that the

Paul's Second Letter to Timothy, Chapter 4
{4:1} I command you therefore before God and the Lord Yeshua the
Messiah, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and
his Kingdom: {4:2} proclaim the word; be urgent in season and out of
season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.
{4:3} For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound
doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves
teachers after their own lusts; {4:4} and will turn away their ears
from the truth, and turn aside to fables. {4:5} But you be sober in
all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill
your ministry.
{4:6} For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure
has come. {4:7} I have fought the good fight. I have finished the
course. I have kept the faith. {4:8} From now on, there is stored up
for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous
judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to
all those who have loved his appearing. {4:9} Be diligent to come to
me soon, {4:10} for Demas left me, having loved this present world,
and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.
{4:11} Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he
is useful to me for service. {4:12} But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
{4:13} Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come,
and the books, especially the parchments. {4:14} Alexander, the
coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to
his works, {4:15} of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed
our words.
{4:16} At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me.
May it not be held against them. {4:17} But the Lord stood by me, and
strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully
proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered
out of the mouth of the lion. {4:18} And the Lord will deliver me from
every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom; to
whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
{4:19} Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus. {4:20}
Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
{4:21} Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do
Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers. {4:22} The Lord Yeshua
the Messiah be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
