  • Numbers 11
    And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
    And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
    And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
    And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
    We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
    But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
    And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
    And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
    And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
    Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
    And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
    Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
    Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
    I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
    And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
    And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
    And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
    Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
    But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
    And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
    Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
    And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
    And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
    But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the

  • Proverbs 6
    My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
    Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
    Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
    Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
    Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
    Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
    Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
    Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
    How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
    Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
    So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
    A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
    He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
    Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
    Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
    These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
    A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
    An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
    A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
    My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
    Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
    When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
    For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
    To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
    Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
    For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
    Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
    Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
    So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
    Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
    But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
    But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
    A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
    For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
    He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

  • Luke 20
    And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,
    And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
    And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
    The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
    And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
    But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
    And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
    And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
    Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
    And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
    And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
    And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
    Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
    But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
    So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
    He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
    And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
    Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
    And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
    And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
    And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
    Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
    But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
    Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
    And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
    And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
    Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
    Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
    There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
    And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
    And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
    Last of all the woman died also.
    Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
    And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
    But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given i

  • Numbers 10
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
    And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
    And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
    When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
    When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
    But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
    And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
    And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
    Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.
    And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.
    And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
    And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
    In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
    And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
    And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
    And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
    And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
    And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
    And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
    And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
    And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.
    And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
    And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
    And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
    And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
    And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
    Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
    And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
    And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
    And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to u

  • Luke 19
    And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
    And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
    And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
    And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
    And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
    And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
    And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
    And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
    And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
    For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
    And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
    He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
    And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
    But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
    And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
    Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
    And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
    And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
    And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
    And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
    For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
    And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
    Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
    And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
    (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
    For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
    But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
    And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
    And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
    Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
    And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
    And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
    And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
    And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
    And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
    And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
    And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of

  • Numbers 8,9
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
    And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
    And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
    And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
    Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.
    And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
    And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
    And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
    And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
    And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
    Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
    And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.
    For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
    For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
    And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
    And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
    And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
    And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
    And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
    And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
    But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

  • Proverbs 5
    My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
    That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
    For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
    But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
    Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
    Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
    Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
    Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
    Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
    Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
    And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
    And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
    And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
    I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
    Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
    Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
    Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
    Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
    Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
    And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
    For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
    His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
    He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

    Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
    For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
    For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
    He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
    Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
    Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
    Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
    Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
    She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
    Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
    I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
    When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
    Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
    Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
    Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
    For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
    For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
    But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
    The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
    My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
    Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
    For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
    Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
    Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
    Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
    Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
    Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

  • Luke 18
    And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
    Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
    And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
    And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
    Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
    And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
    And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
    I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
    And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
    Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
    The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
    I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
    And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
    I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
    And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
    But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
    Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
    And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
    And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
    Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
