  • 1st Chronicles 10
    Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
    And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
    And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
    Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
    And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
    So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
    And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
    And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
    And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
    And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
    And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
    They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
    So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;
    And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

  • 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

  • Ezekiel 22
    Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
    Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.
    Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.
    Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
    Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.
    Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.
    In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
    Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
    In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
    In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
    And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
    In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
    Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
    Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
    And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
    And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
    And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
    Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
    Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
    As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.
    Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst therof.
    As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
    And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
    Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
    There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
    Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
    Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
    And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath

  • 1st Chronicles 9
    So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.
    Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.
    And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh;
    Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah.
    And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.
    And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
    And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,
    And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;
    And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers.
    And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,
    And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;
    And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;
    And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
    And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
    And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
    And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
    And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;
    Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.
    And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entry.
    And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.
    And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
    All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.
    So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.
    In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
    And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them.
    For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
    And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.
    And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.
    Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
    And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
    And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum

  • 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.
    And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
    Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
    And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
    And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
    For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
    And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
    And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
    Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
    And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
    Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
    Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
    For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
    And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
    And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
    And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
    And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
    And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
    And he cried, s

  • Ezekiel 21
    And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
    Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
    And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
    Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
    That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
    Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
    And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.
    Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
    Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
    It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.
    And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
    Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.
    Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
    Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together. and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.
    I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
    Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.
    I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.
    The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
    Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
    Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
    For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
    At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.
    And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
    Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
    And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,
    Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
    I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right

  • Luke 17
    Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
    It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
    Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
    And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
    And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
    And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
    But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
    And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
    Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
    So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
    And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
    And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
    And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
    And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
    And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
    And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
    And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
    There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
    And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
    And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
    Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
    And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
    And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
    For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
    But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
    And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
    They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
    Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
    But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
    Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
    In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
    Remember Lot's wife.
    Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
    I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
    Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
    Two men shall be in the field; the one shall

  • Ezekiel 20
    And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
    Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
    Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
    Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:
    And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;
    In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:
    Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
    But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
    But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
    Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
    And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.
    Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
    But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
    But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.
    Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
    Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
    Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
    But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
    I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;
    And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
    Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
    Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.
    I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;
    Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
    Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, an
