  • Matthew 26
    And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
    Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
    Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
    And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
    But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
    Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
    There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
    But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
    For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
    When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
    For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
    For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
    Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
    Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
    And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
    And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
    Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
    And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
    And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
    Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
    And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
    And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
    And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
    The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
    Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
    And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
    And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
    For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
    But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
    And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
    Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
    But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
    Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
    Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
    Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
    Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
    And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
    Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: ta

  • Psalms 44
    We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
    How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
    For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
    Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
    Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
    For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
    But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
    In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
    But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
    Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
    Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
    Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
    Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
    Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
    My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
    For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
    All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
    Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
    Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
    If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
    Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
    Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
    Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
    Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
    For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
    Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

  • Genesis 38
    And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
    And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
    And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
    And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
    And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
    And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
    And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
    And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
    And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
    And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
    Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
    And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
    And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
    And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
    When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
    And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
    And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
    And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
    And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
    And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.
    Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.
    And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
    And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
    And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
    When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
    And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
    And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
    And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
    And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon

  • Psalms 41,42,43
    Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
    The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
    The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
    I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
    Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
    And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
    All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
    An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
    Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
    But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
    By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
    And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
    Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
    As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
    My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
    My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
    When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
    Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
    O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
    Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
    Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
    I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
    As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
    Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
    Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
    For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
    O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
    Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
    Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

  • Matthew 25
    Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
    And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
    They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
    But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
    While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
    And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
    Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
    And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
    But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
    And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
    Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
    But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
    Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
    For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
    And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
    Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
    And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
    But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
    After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
    And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
    His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
    He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
    His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
    Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
    And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
    His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
    Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
    Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
    For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
    And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
    When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
    And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
    And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
    Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
    For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
    Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visi

  • Psalms 39,40
    I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
    I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
    My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
    LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
    Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
    Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
    And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
    Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
    I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
    Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
    When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
    Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
    O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
    I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
    He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
    And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
    Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
    Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
    Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
    Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
    I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
    I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
    I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
    Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
    For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
    Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
    Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
    Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
    Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
    But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

  • Genesis 37
    And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
    These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
    Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
    And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
    And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
    And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
    For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
    And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
    And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
    And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
    And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
    And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
    And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
    And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
    And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
    And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
    And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
    And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
    And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
    Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
    And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
    And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
    And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
    And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
    And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
    And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
    Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
    Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
    And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit

  • Matthew 24
    And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
    And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
    And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
    And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
    For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
    And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
    For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
    All these are the beginning of sorrows.
    Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
    And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
    And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
    And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
    But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
    And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
    When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
    Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
    Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
    Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
    And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
    But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
    For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
    And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
    Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
    For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
    Behold, I have told you before.
    Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
    For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
    For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
    Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
    And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
    And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
    Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
    So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
    Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
    Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
    But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

  • Psalms 38
    O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
    For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
    There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
    For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
    My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
    I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
    For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
    I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
    Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
    My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
    My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
    They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
    But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
    Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
    For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
    For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
    For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
    For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
    But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
    They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
    Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
    Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

  • Genesis 36
    Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
    Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
    And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
    And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
    And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
    And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.
    For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.
    Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
    And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
    These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.
    And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.
    And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife.
    And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
    And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.
    These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,
    Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.
    And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
    And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.
    These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.
    These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
    And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
    And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna.
    And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
    And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.
    And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.
    And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.
    The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.
    The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran.
    These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,
    Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.
    And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.
    And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
    And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead.
    And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead.
    And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith.
    And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
    And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead.
    And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his
