H6965To confirm[H8763] H3117these daysH6332of PurimH2165in their timesH4782appointed, according as MordecaiH3064the JewH635and EstherH4436the queenH6965had enjoined[H8765] H6965them, and as they had decreed[H8765] H5315for themselvesH2233and for their seedH1697, the mattersH6685of the fastingsH2201and their cry.
H7121Cry[H8798] H1627aloudH2820, spare[H8799] H7311not, lift[H8685] H6963up thy voiceH7782like a trumpetH5046, and shew[H8685] H5971my peopleH6588their transgressionH1004, and the houseH3290of JacobH2403their sins.
H1875Yet they seek[H8799] H3117me dailyH3117 H2654, and delight[H8799] H1847to knowH1870my waysH1471, as a nationH6213that did[H8804] H6666righteousnessH5800, and forsook[H8804] H4941not the ordinanceH430of their GodH7592: they ask[H8799] H4941of me the ordinancesH6664of justiceH2654; they take delight[H8799] H7132in approachingH430to God.
H6684Wherefore have we fasted[H8804] H7200, say they, and thou seest[H8804] H6031not? wherefore have we afflicted[H8765] H5315our soulH3045, and thou takest no knowledge[H8799] H3117? Behold, in the dayH6685of your fastH4672ye find[H8799] H2656pleasureH5065, and exact[H8799] H6092all your labours.
H6684Behold, ye fast[H8799] H7379for strifeH4683and debateH5221, and to smite[H8687] H106with the fistH7562of wickednessH6684: ye shall not fast[H8799] H3117as ye do this dayH6963, to make your voiceH8085to be heard[H8687] H4791on high.
H6685Is it such a fastH977that I have chosen[H8799] H3117? a dayH120for a manH6031to afflict[H8763] H5315his soulH3721? is it to bow down[H8800] H7218his headH100as a bulrushH3331, and to spread[H8686] H8242sackclothH665and ashesH7121under him ? wilt thou call[H8799] H2088thisH6685a fastH7522, and an acceptableH3117dayH3068to the LORD?
H6685Is not this the fastH977that I have chosen[H8799] H6605? to loose[H8763] H2784the bandsH7562of wickednessH5425, to undo[H8687] H4133the heavyH92burdensH7533, and to let the oppressed[H8803] H7971go[H8763] H2670freeH5423, and that ye break[H8762] H4133every yoke?
H6536Is it not to deal[H8800] H3899thy breadH7457to the hungryH935, and that thou bring[H8686] H6041the poorH4788that are cast outH1004to thy houseH7200? when thou seest[H8799] H6174the nakedH3680, that thou cover[H8765] H5956him; and that thou hide[H8691] H1320not thyself from thine own flesh?
H216Then shall thy lightH1234break forth[H8735] H7837as the morningH724, and thine healthH6779shall spring forth[H8799] H4120speedilyH6664: and thy righteousnessH1980shall go[H8804] H6440beforeH3519thee; the gloryH3068of the LORDH622shall be thy rereward[H8799] .
H7121Then shalt thou call[H8799] H3068, and the LORDH6030shall answer[H8799] H7768; thou shalt cry[H8762] H559, and he shall say[H8799] H5493, Here I am . If thou take away[H8686] H8432from the midstH4133of thee the yokeH7971, the putting forth[H8800] H676of the fingerH1696, and speaking[H8763] H205vanity;
G5119ThenG2424was JesusG321led up[G5681] G5259ofG4151the SpiritG1519intoG2048the wildernessG3985to be tempted[G5683] G5259ofG1228the devil.
G2532AndG3522when he had fasted[G5660] G5062fortyG2250daysG2532andG5062fortyG3571nightsG5305, he was afterwardG3983an hungred[G5656] .
G2532AndG3985when the tempter[G5723] G4334came[G5631] G846to himG2036, he said[G5627] G1487, IfG1488thou be[G5748] G5207the SonG2316of GodG2036, command[G5628] G2443thatG3778theseG3037stonesG1096be made[G5638] G740bread.
G1161ButG611he answered[G5679] G2036and said[G5627] G1125, It is written[G5769] G444, ManG2198shallG3756notG2198live[G5695] G1909byG740breadG3441aloneG235, butG1909byG3956everyG4487wordG1607that proceedeth[G5740] G1223out ofG4750the mouthG2316of God.
H5971If my peopleH7121, which are called[H8738] H8034by my nameH3665, shall humble[H8735] H6419themselves, and pray[H8691] H1245, and seek[H8762] H6440my faceH7725, and turn[H8799] H7451from their wickedH1870waysH8085; then will I hear[H8799] H8064from heavenH5545, and will forgive[H8799] H2403their sinH7495, and will heal[H8799] H776their land.
G1161AndG891whileG3739 G2250the dayG1096was coming[G5738] G3195on[G5707] G3972, PaulG3870besought[G5707] G537them allG3335to take[G5629] G5160meatG3004, saying[G5723] G4594, This dayG5065is the fourteenthG2250dayG4328that ye have tarried[G5723] G1300and continued[G5719] G777fastingG4355, having taken[G5642] G3367nothing.
G1352WhereforeG3870I pray[G5719] G5209youG4355to take[G5629] G5160some meatG1063: forG5124thisG5225is[G5719] G4314forG5212yourG4991healthG1063: forG4098there shallG3762notG2359an hairG4098fall[G5695] G1537fromG2776the headG3762of anyG5216of you.
H116ThenH4430the kingH236went[H8754] H1965to his palaceH956, and passed the night[H8754] H2908fastingH3809: neitherH1761were instrumentsH5954of musick brought[H8684] H6925beforeH8139him: and his sleepH5075went[H8754] H5922from him.
H116ThenH4430the kingH6966arose[H8748] H8238very earlyH5053in the morningH236, and went[H8754] H927in haste[H8726] H1358unto the denH744of lions.
H7127And when he came[H8749] H1358to the denH2200, he cried[H8754] H6088with a lamentable[H8750] H7032voiceH1841unto DanielH4430: and the kingH6032spake[H8750] H560and said[H8750] H1841to DanielH1841, O DanielH5649, servantH2417of the livingH426GodH426, is thy GodH6399, whom thou servest[H8750] H8411continuallyH3202, able[H8754] H7804to deliver[H8756] H4481thee fromH744the lions?
G2532AndG2424JesusG2036said[G5627] G846unto themG3361, CanG1410 [G5736] G5207the childrenG3567of the bridechamberG3996mourn[G5721] G1909, as long asG3745 G3566the bridegroomG2076is[G5748] G3326withG846themG1161? butG2250the daysG2064will come[G5695] G3752, whenG3566the bridegroomG522shall be taken[G5686] G575fromG846themG2532, andG5119thenG3522shall they fast[G5692] .
H2549And it came to pass in the fifthH8141yearH3079of JehoiakimH1121the sonH2977of JosiahH4428kingH3063of JudahH8671, in the ninthH2320monthH7121, that they proclaimed[H8804] H6685a fastH6440beforeH3068the LORDH5971to all the peopleH3389in JerusalemH5971, and to all the peopleH935that came[H8802] H5892from the citiesH3063of JudahH3389unto Jerusalem.
H1697For wordH5060came[H8799] H4428unto the kingH5210of NinevehH6965, and he arose[H8799] H3678from his throneH5674, and he laid[H8686] H155his robeH3680from him, and covered[H8762] H8242him with sackclothH3427, and sat[H8799] H665in ashes.
H2199And he caused it to be proclaimed[H8686] H559and published[H8799] H5210through NinevehH2940by the decreeH4428of the kingH1419and his noblesH559, saying[H8800] H120, Let neither manH929nor beastH1241, herdH6629nor flockH2938, taste[H8799] H3972any thingH7462: let them not feed[H8799] H8354, nor drink[H8799] H4325water:
H120But let manH929and beastH3680be covered[H8691] H8242with sackclothH7121, and cry[H8799] H2394mightilyH430unto GodH7725: yea, let them turn[H8799] H376every oneH7451from his evilH1870wayH2555, and from the violenceH3709that is in their hands.
H3045Who can tell[H8802] H430if GodH7725will turn[H8799] H5162and repent[H8738] H7725, and turn away[H8804] H2740from his fierceH639angerH6, that we perish[H8799] not?
H5830Then EzraH6965rose up[H8799] H6440from beforeH1004the houseH430of GodH3212, and went[H8799] H3957into the chamberH3076of JohananH1121the sonH475of EliashibH3212: and when he came[H8799] H398thither, he did eat[H8804] H3899no breadH8354, nor drink[H8804] H4325waterH56: for he mourned[H8693] H4604because of the transgressionH1473of them that had been carried away.
H6242Now in the twentyH702and fourthH3117dayH2320of this monthH1121the childrenH3478of IsraelH622were assembled[H8738] H6685with fastingH8242, and with sackclothesH127, and earth upon them.
H2233And the seedH3478of IsraelH914separated[H8735] H1121themselves from all strangersH5236 H5975, and stood[H8799] H3034and confessed[H8691] H2403their sinsH5771, and the iniquitiesH1of their fathers.
H6965And they stood up[H8799] H5977in their placeH7121, and read[H8799] H5612in the bookH8451of the lawH3068of the LORDH430their GodH7243one fourth partH3117of the dayH7243; and another fourth partH3034they confessed[H8693] H7812, and worshipped[H8693] H3068the LORDH430their God.
H5927When I was gone up[H8800] H2022into the mountH3947to receive[H8800] H3871the tablesH68of stoneH3871, even the tablesH1285of the covenantH3068which the LORDH3772made[H8804] H3427with you, then I abode[H8799] H2022in the mountH705fortyH3117daysH705and fortyH3915nightsH398, I neither did eat[H8804] H3899breadH8354nor drink[H8804] H4325water:
H1121Then all the childrenH3478of IsraelH5971, and all the peopleH5927, went up[H8799] H935, and came[H8799] H1004unto the houseH430of God[H8677] H1008 H1058, and wept[H8799] H3427, and sat[H8799] H6440there beforeH3068the LORDH6684, and fasted[H8799] H3117that dayH6153until evenH5927, and offered[H8686] H5930burnt offeringsH8002and peace offeringsH6440beforeH3068the LORD.
H1121And the childrenH3478of IsraelH7592enquired[H8799] H3068of the LORDH727, (for the arkH1285of the covenantH430of GodH3117was there in those days,
H376And the menH3478of IsraelH5065were distressed[H8738] H3117that dayH7586: for SaulH422had adjured[H8686] H5971the peopleH559, saying[H8800] H779, Cursed[H8803] H376be the manH398that eateth[H8799] H3899any foodH6153until eveningH5358, that I may be avenged[H8738] H341on mine enemies[H8802] H5971. So none of the peopleH2938tasted[H8804] H3899any food.
G1161MoreoverG3752whenG3522ye fast[G5725] G1096, be[G5737] G3361notG5618, asG5273the hypocritesG4659, of a sad countenanceG1063: forG853they disfigure[G5719] G846theirG4383facesG3704, thatG5316they may appear[G5652] G444unto menG3522to fast[G5723] G281. VerilyG3004I say[G5719] G5213unto youG3754,G568They have[G5719] G846theirG3408reward.
H6213But do[H8798] H3069thou for me, O GODH136the LordH8034, for thy name'sH2617sake: because thy mercyH2896is goodH5337, deliver[H8685] thou me.
H6041For I am poorH34and needyH3820, and my heartH2490is wounded[H8804] H7130within me.
H1980I am gone[H8738] H6738like the shadowH5186when it declineth[H8800] H5287: I am tossed up and down[H8738] H697as the locust.
H1290My kneesH3782are weak[H8804] H6685through fastingH1320; and my fleshH3584faileth[H8804] H8081of fatness.
G5119ThenG4334came[G5736] G846to himG3101the disciplesG2491of JohnG3004, saying[G5723] G1302, WhyG2249do weG2532andG5330the PhariseesG3522fast[G5719] G4183oftG1161, butG4675thyG3101disciplesG3522fast[G5719] G3756not?
G2532AndG2424JesusG2036said[G5627] G846unto themG3361, CanG1410 [G5736] G5207the childrenG3567of the bridechamberG3996mourn[G5721] G1909, as long asG3745 G3566the bridegroomG2076is[G5748] G3326withG846themG1161? butG2250the daysG2064will come[G5695] G3752, whenG3566the bridegroomG522shall be taken[G5686] G575fromG846themG2532, andG5119thenG3522shall they fast[G5692] .
G1161 G3762No manG1911putteth[G5719] G1915a pieceG46of newG4470clothG1909untoG3820an oldG2440garmentG1063, forG4138that which is put in to fill it upG142taketh[G5719] G846 G575fromG2440the garmentG2532, andG4978the rentG1096is made[G5736] G5501worse.
G3761NeitherG906do men put[G5719] G3501newG3631wineG1519intoG3820oldG779bottlesG1490: elseG779the bottlesG4486break[G5743] G2532, andG3631the wineG1632runneth out[G5743] G2532, andG779the bottlesG622perish[G5698] G235: butG906they put[G5719] G3501newG3631wineG1519intoG2537newG779bottlesG2532, andG297bothG4933are preserved[G5743] .
H6685Is not this the fastH977that I have chosen[H8799] H6605? to loose[H8763] H2784the bandsH7562of wickednessH5425, to undo[H8687] H4133the heavyH92burdensH7533, and to let the oppressed[H8803] H7971go[H8763] H2670freeH5423, and that ye break[H8762] H4133every yoke?
H6536Is it not to deal[H8800] H3899thy breadH7457to the hungryH935, and that thou bring[H8686] H6041the poorH4788that are cast outH1004to thy houseH7200? when thou seest[H8799] H6174the nakedH3680, that thou cover[H8765] H5956him; and that thou hide[H8691] H1320not thyself from thine own flesh?
H216Then shall thy lightH1234break forth[H8735] H7837as the morningH724, and thine healthH6779shall spring forth[H8799] H4120speedilyH6664: and thy righteousnessH1980shall go[H8804] H6440beforeH3519thee; the gloryH3068of the LORDH622shall be thy rereward[H8799] .
H7121Then shalt thou call[H8799] H3068, and the LORDH6030shall answer[H8799] H7768; thou shalt cry[H8762] H559, and he shall say[H8799] H5493, Here I am . If thou take away[H8686] H8432from the midstH4133of thee the yokeH7971, the putting forth[H8800] H676of the fingerH1696, and speaking[H8763] H205vanity;
H6329And if thou draw out[H8686] H5315thy soulH7457to the hungryH7646, and satisfy[H8686] H6031the afflicted[H8737] H5315soulH216; then shall thy lightH2224rise[H8804] H2822in obscurityH653, and thy darknessH6672be as the noonday:
H3068And the LORDH5148shall guide[H8804] H8548thee continuallyH7646, and satisfy[H8689] H5315thy soulH6710in droughtH2502, and make fat[H8686] H6106thy bonesH7302: and thou shalt be like a wateredH1588gardenH4161, and like a springH4325of waterH4325, whose watersH3576fail[H8762] not.
H1129And they that shall be of thee shall build[H8804] H5769the oldH2723waste placesH6965: thou shalt raise up[H8787] H4146the foundationsH1755of manyH1755generationsH7121; and thou shalt be called[H8795] H1443, The repairer[H8802] H6556of the breachH7725, The restorer[H8789] H5410of pathsH3427to dwell in[H8800] .
H8085And it came to pass, when I heard[H8800] H1697these wordsH3427, that I sat down[H8804] H1058and wept[H8799] H56, and mourned[H8691] H3117certain daysH6684, and fasted[H8802] H6419, and prayed[H8693] H6440beforeH430the GodH8064of heaven,
H559And said[H8799] H577, I beseechH3068thee, O LORDH430GodH8064of heavenH1419, the greatH3372and terrible[H8737] H410GodH8104, that keepeth[H8802] H1285covenantH2617and mercyH157for them that love[H8802] H8104him and observe[H8802] H4687his commandments:
H241Let thine earH7183now be attentiveH5869, and thine eyesH6605open[H8803] H8085, that thou mayest hear[H8800] H8605the prayerH5650of thy servantH6419, which I pray[H8693] H6440beforeH3117thee nowH3119, dayH3915and nightH1121, for the childrenH3478of IsraelH5650thy servantsH3034, and confess[H8693] H2403the sinsH1121of the childrenH3478of IsraelH2398, which we have sinned[H8804] H1against thee: both I and my father'sH1004houseH2398have sinned[H8804] .
H2254We have dealt very[H8800] H2254corruptly[H8804] H8104against thee, and have not kept[H8804] H4687the commandmentsH2706, nor the statutesH4941, nor the judgmentsH6680, which thou commandedst[H8765] H5650thy servantH4872Moses.
H2142Remember[H8798] H1697, I beseech thee, the wordH6680that thou commandedst[H8765] H5650thy servantH4872MosesH559, saying[H8800] H4603, If ye transgress[H8799] H6327, I will scatter you abroad[H8686] H5971among the nations:
H7725But if ye turn[H8804] H8104unto me, and keep[H8804] H4687my commandmentsH6213, and do[H8804] H5080them; though there were of you cast out[H8737] H7097unto the uttermost partH8064of the heavenH6908, yet will I gather[H8762] H935them from thence, and will bring[H8689] H4725them unto the placeH977that I have chosen[H8804] H7931to set[H8763] H8034my name there.
H5650Now these are thy servantsH5971and thy peopleH6299, whom thou hast redeemed[H8804] H1419by thy greatH3581powerH2389, and by thy strongH3027hand.
H136O LordH577, I beseechH241thee, let now thine earH7183be attentiveH8605to the prayerH5650of thy servantH8605, and to the prayerH5650of thy servantsH2655, who desireH3372to fear[H8800] H8034thy nameH6743: and prosper[H8685] H5650, I pray thee, thy servantH3117this dayH5414, and grant[H8798] H7356him mercyH6440in the sightH376of this manH4428. For I was the king'sH8248cupbearer[H8688] .
H6908And they gathered together[H8735] H4709to MizpehH7579, and drew[H8799] H4325waterH8210, and poured it out[H8799] H6440beforeH3068the LORDH6684, and fasted[H8799] H3117on that dayH559, and said[H8799] H2398there, We have sinned[H8804] H3068against the LORDH8050. And SamuelH8199judged[H8799] H1121the childrenH3478of IsraelH4708in Mizpeh.
H6430And when the PhilistinesH8085heard[H8799] H1121that the childrenH3478of IsraelH6908were gathered together[H8694] H4708to MizpehH5633, the lordsH6430of the PhilistinesH5927went up[H8799] H3478against IsraelH1121. And when the childrenH3478of IsraelH8085heard[H8799] H3372it, they were afraid[H8799] H6440ofH6430the Philistines.
H1121And the childrenH3478of IsraelH559said[H8799] H8050to SamuelH2790, Cease[H8686] H2199not to cry[H8800] H3068unto the LORDH430our GodH3467for us, that he will save[H8686] H3027us out of the handH6430of the Philistines.
G2532AndG2883CorneliusG5346said[G5713] G5067, FourG2250daysG575agoG2252I was[G5713] G3522fasting[G5723] G3360untilG5026thisG5610hourG2532; andG1766at the ninthG5610hourG4336I prayed[G5740] G1722inG3450myG3624houseG2532, andG2400, behold[G5628] G435, a manG2476stood[G5627] G1799beforeG3450meG1722inG2986brightG2066clothing,
H376And the manH430of GodH559said[H8799] H4428unto the kingH5414, If thou wilt give[H8799] H2677me halfH1004thine houseH935, I will not go in[H8799] H398with thee, neither will I eat[H8799] H3899breadH8354nor drink[H8799] H4325waterH4725in this place:
H6680For so was it charged[H8765] H1697me by the wordH3068of the LORDH559, saying[H8800] H398, Eat[H8799] H3899no breadH8354, nor drink[H8799] H4325waterH7725, nor turn again[H8799] H1870by the same wayH1980that thou camest[H8804] .
H559Then said[H8799] H3372he unto me, Fear[H8799] H1840not, DanielH7223: for from the firstH3117dayH5414that thou didst set[H8804] H3820thine heartH995to understand[H8687] H6031, and to chasten[H8692] H6440thyself beforeH430thy GodH1697, thy wordsH8085were heard[H8738] H935, and I am come[H8804] H1697for thy words.
H8269But the princeH4438of the kingdomH6539of PersiaH5975withstood[H8802] H259me oneH6242and twentyH3117daysH4317: but, lo, MichaelH259, oneH7223of the chiefH8269princesH935, came[H8804] H5826to help[H8800] H3498me; and I remained[H8738] H681there withH4428the kingsH6539of Persia.
H5329To the chief Musician[H8764] H4905, Maschil[H8688] H1121, for the sonsH7141of KorahH354. As the hartH6165panteth[H8799] H4325after the waterH650brooksH6165, so panteth[H8799] H5315my soulH430after thee, O God.
H5315My soulH6770thirsteth[H8804] H430for GodH2416, for the livingH410GodH935: when shall I come[H8799] H7200and appear[H8735] H6440beforeH430God?
H6908And I gathered them together[H8799] H5104to the riverH935that runneth[H8802] H163to AhavaH2583; and there abode we in tents[H8799] H7969threeH3117daysH995: and I viewed[H8799] H5971the peopleH3548, and the priestsH4672, and found[H8804] H1121there none of the sonsH3878of Levi.
H7971Then sent[H8799] H461I for EliezerH740, for ArielH8098, for ShemaiahH494, and for ElnathanH3402, and for JaribH494, and for ElnathanH5416, and for NathanH2148, and for ZechariahH4918, and for MeshullamH7218, chief menH3114; also for JoiaribH494, and for ElnathanH995, men of understanding[H8688] .
H6680And I sent[H8762] H3318them with commandment[H8686] H112unto IddoH7218the chiefH4725at the placeH3703CasiphiaH7760, and I told[H8799] H6310 H1697them whatH1696they should say[H8763] H112unto IddoH251, and to his brethrenH5411the Nethinims[H8675] H5411 H4725, at the placeH3703CasiphiaH935, that they should bring[H8687] H8334unto us ministers[H8764] H1004for the houseH430of our God.
H2896And by the goodH3027handH430of our GodH935upon us they brought[H8686] H376us a manH7922of understandingH1121, of the sonsH4249of MahliH1121, the sonH3878of LeviH1121, the sonH3478of IsraelH8274; and SherebiahH1121, with his sonsH251and his brethrenH8083, eighteenH6240 ;
H2811And HashabiahH3470, and with him JeshaiahH1121of the sonsH4847of MerariH251, his brethrenH1121and their sonsH6242, twenty;
H5411Also of the NethinimsH1732, whom DavidH8269and the princesH5414had appointed[H8804] H5656for the serviceH3881of the LevitesH3967, two hundredH6242and twentyH5411NethinimsH5344: all of them were expressed[H8738] H8034by name.
H7121Then I proclaimed[H8799] H6685a fastH5104there, at the riverH163of AhavaH6031, that we might afflict[H8692] H6440ourselves beforeH430our GodH1245, to seek[H8763] H3477of him a rightH1870wayH2945for us, and for our little onesH7399, and for all our substance.
H954For I was ashamed[H8804] H7592to require[H8800] H4428of the kingH2428a band of soldiersH6571and horsemenH5826to help[H8800] H341us against the enemy[H8802] H1870in the wayH559: because we had spoken[H8804] H4428unto the kingH559, saying[H8800] H3027, The handH430of our GodH2896is upon all them for goodH1245that seek[H8764] H5797him; but his powerH639and his wrathH5800is against all them that forsake[H8802] him.
H6684So we fasted[H8799] H1245and besought[H8762] H430our GodH6279for this: and he was intreated[H8735] of us.
G5119ThenG2424was JesusG321led up[G5681] G5259ofG4151the SpiritG1519intoG2048the wildernessG3985to be tempted[G5683] G5259ofG1228the devil.
G2532AndG3522when he had fasted[G5660] G5062fortyG2250daysG2532andG5062fortyG3571nightsG5305, he was afterwardG3983an hungred[G5656] .
G2532AndG3985when the tempter[G5723] G4334came[G5631] G846to himG2036, he said[G5627] G1487, IfG1488thou be[G5748] G5207the SonG2316of GodG2036, command[G5628] G2443thatG3778theseG3037stonesG1096be made[G5638] G740bread.
G1161ButG611he answered[G5679] G2036and said[G5627] G1125, It is written[G5769] G444, ManG2198shallG3756notG2198live[G5695] G1909byG740breadG3441aloneG235, butG1909byG3956everyG4487wordG1607that proceedeth[G5740] G1223out ofG4750the mouthG2316of God.
G5119ThenG1228the devilG3880takethG846himG3880up[G5719] G1519intoG40the holyG4172cityG2532, andG2476setteth[G5719] G846himG1909onG4419a pinnacleG2411of the temple,
G2532AndG3004saith[G5719] G846unto himG1487, IfG1488thou be[G5748] G5207the SonG2316of GodG906, cast[G5628] G4572thyselfG2736downG1063: forG1125it is written[G5769] G3754,G1781He shall giveG846hisG32angelsG1781charge[G5699] G4012concerningG4675theeG2532: andG1909inG5495their handsG142they shall bearG4571theeG142up[G5692] G3379, lest at any timeG4350thou dash[G5661] G4675thyG4228footG4314againstG3037a stone.
G2424JesusG5346said[G5713] G846unto himG1125, It is written[G5769] G3825againG1598, Thou shaltG3756notG1598tempt[G5692] G2962the LordG4675thyG2316God.
G3825AgainG1228, the devilG3880takethG846himG3880up[G5719] G1519intoG3029an exceedingG5308highG3735mountainG2532, andG1166sheweth[G5719] G846himG3956allG932the kingdomsG2889of the worldG2532, andG1391the gloryG846of them;
G2532AndG3004saith[G5719] G846unto himG3956, AllG5023these thingsG1325will I give[G5692] G4671theeG1437, ifG4098thou wilt fall down[G5631] G4352and worship[G5661] G3427me.
G5119ThenG3004saith[G5719] G2424JesusG846unto himG5217, Get thee hence[G5720] G4567, SatanG1063: forG1125it is written[G5769] G4352, Thou shalt worship[G5692] G2962the LordG4675thyG2316GodG2532, andG846himG3441onlyG3000shalt thou serve[G5692] .
G5119ThenG1228the devilG863leaveth[G5719] G846himG2532, andG2400, behold[G5628] G32, angelsG4334came[G5656] G2532andG1247ministered[G5707] G846unto him.
G1161AndG2036they said[G5627] G4314untoG846himG1302, WhyG3522doG3101the disciplesG2491of JohnG3522fast[G5719] G4437oftenG2532, andG4160make[G5731] G1162prayersG2532, andG3668likewiseG3588the disciplesG5330of the PhariseesG1161; butG4674thineG2068eat[G5719] G2532andG4095drink[G5719] ?
G1161AndG2036he said[G5627] G4314untoG846themG3361,G1410Can ye[G5736] G4160make[G5658] G5207the childrenG3567of the bridechamberG3522fast[G5721] G3739, whileG1722 G3566the bridegroomG2076is[G5748] G3326withG846them?
G1161ButG2250the daysG2064will come[G5695] G3752, whenG2532 G3566the bridegroomG522shall be taken away[G5686] G575fromG846themG5119, and thenG3522shall they fast[G5692] G1722inG1565thoseG2250days.
H1121And the childrenH3478of IsraelH7592enquired[H8799] H3068of the LORDH727, (for the arkH1285of the covenantH430of GodH3117was there in those days,
H6372And PhinehasH1121, the sonH499of EleazarH1121, the sonH175of AaronH5975, stood[H8802] H6440beforeH3117it in those daysH559,) saying[H8800] H3254, Shall I yet again[H8686] H3318go out[H8800] H4421to battleH1121against the childrenH1144of BenjaminH251my brotherH2308, or shall I cease[H8799] H3068? And the LORDH559said[H8799] H5927, Go up[H8798] H4279; for to morrowH5414I will deliver[H8799] H3027them into thine hand.
H259In the firstH8141yearH1867of DariusH1121the sonH325of AhasuerusH2233, of the seedH4074of the MedesH4427, which was made king[H8717] H4438over the realmH3778of the Chaldeans;
H259In the firstH8141yearH4427of his reign[H8800] H1840I DanielH995understood[H8804] H5612by booksH4557the numberH8141of the yearsH1697, whereof the wordH3068of the LORDH3414came to JeremiahH5030the prophetH4390, that he would accomplish[H8763] H7657seventyH8141yearsH2723in the desolationsH3389of Jerusalem.
H5414And I set[H8799] H6440my faceH136unto the LordH430GodH1245, to seek[H8763] H8605by prayerH8469and supplicationsH6685, with fastingH8242, and sackclothH665, and ashes:
H5416And NathanH3212departed[H8799] H1004unto his houseH3068. And the LORDH5062struck[H8799] H3206the childH223that Uriah'sH802wifeH3205bare[H8804] H1732unto DavidH605, and it was very sick[H8735] .
H1732DavidH1245therefore besought[H8762] H430GodH5288for the childH1732; and DavidH6684fasted[H8799] H6685 H935, and went in[H8804] H7901, and lay[H8804] H3885all night[H8804] H776upon the earth.
H2205And the eldersH1004of his houseH6965arose[H8799] H6965, and went to him, to raise him up[H8687] H776from the earthH14: but he would[H8804] H1262not, neither did he eat[H8804] H3899bread with them.
H7637And it came to pass on the seventhH3117dayH3206, that the childH4191died[H8799] H5650. And the servantsH1732of DavidH3372feared[H8799] H5046to tell[H8687] H3206him that the childH4191was dead[H8804] H559: for they said[H8804] H3206, Behold, while the childH2416was yet aliveH1696, we spake[H8765] H8085unto him, and he would not hearken[H8804] H6963unto our voiceH6213: how will he thenH7451vexH6213himself[H8804] H559, if we tell[H8799] H3206him that the childH4191is dead[H8804] ?
H1732But when DavidH7200saw[H8799] H5650that his servantsH3907whispered[H8693] H1732, DavidH995perceived[H8799] H3206that the childH4191was dead[H8804] H1732: therefore DavidH559said[H8799] H5650unto his servantsH3206, Is the childH4191dead[H8804] H559? And they said[H8799] H4191, He is dead[H8804] .
H1732Then DavidH6965arose[H8799] H776from the earthH7364, and washed[H8799] H5480, and anointed[H8686] H2498himself, and changed[H8762] H8071his apparelH935, and came[H8799] H1004into the houseH3068of the LORDH7812, and worshipped[H8691] H935: then he came[H8799] H1004to his own houseH7592; and when he required[H8799] H7760, they set[H8799] H3899breadH398before him, and he did eat[H8799] .
H559Then said[H8799] H5650his servantsH1697unto him, What thingH6213is this that thou hast done[H8804] H6684? thou didst fast[H8804] H1058and weep[H8799] H3206for the childH2416, while it was aliveH3206; but when the childH4191was dead[H8804] H6965, thou didst rise[H8804] H398and eat[H8799] H3899bread.
H559And he said[H8799] H3206, While the childH2416was yet aliveH6684, I fasted[H8804] H1058and wept[H8799] H559: for I said[H8804] H3045, Who can tell[H8802] H3068whether GODH2603will be gracious[H8804] [H8675] H2603 [H8762] H3206to me, that the childH2416may live?
H4191But now he is dead[H8804] H6684, wherefore should I fast[H8802] H3201? can[H8799] H7725I bring him back again[H8687] H1980? I shall go[H8802] H7725to him, but he shall not return[H8799] to me.
H2296Gird[H8798] H5594yourselves, and lament[H8798] H3548, ye priestsH3213: howl[H8685] H8334, ye ministers[H8764] H4196of the altarH935: come[H8798] H3885, lie all night[H8798] H8242in sackclothH8334, ye ministers[H8764] H430of my GodH4503: for the meat offeringH5262and the drink offeringH4513is withholden[H8738] H1004from the houseH430of your God.
H6942Sanctify[H8761] H6685ye a fastH7121, call[H8798] H6116a solemn assemblyH622, gather[H8798] H2205the eldersH3427and all the inhabitants[H8802] H776of the landH1004into the houseH3068of the LORDH430your GodH2199, and cry[H8798] H3068unto the LORD,
H559And said[H8799] H577, I beseechH3068thee, O LORDH430GodH8064of heavenH1419, the greatH3372and terrible[H8737] H410GodH8104, that keepeth[H8802] H1285covenantH2617and mercyH157for them that love[H8802] H8104him and observe[H8802] H4687his commandments:
H241Let thine earH7183now be attentiveH5869, and thine eyesH6605open[H8803] H8085, that thou mayest hear[H8800] H8605the prayerH5650of thy servantH6419, which I pray[H8693] H6440beforeH3117thee nowH3119, dayH3915and nightH1121, for the childrenH3478of IsraelH5650thy servantsH3034, and confess[H8693] H2403the sinsH1121of the childrenH3478of IsraelH2398, which we have sinned[H8804] H1against thee: both I and my father'sH1004houseH2398have sinned[H8804] .
H2254We have dealt very[H8800] H2254corruptly[H8804] H8104against thee, and have not kept[H8804] H4687the commandmentsH2706, nor the statutesH4941, nor the judgmentsH6680, which thou commandedst[H8765] H5650thy servantH4872Moses.
H2142Remember[H8798] H1697, I beseech thee, the wordH6680that thou commandedst[H8765] H5650thy servantH4872MosesH559, saying[H8800] H4603, If ye transgress[H8799] H6327, I will scatter you abroad[H8686] H5971among the nations:
H7725But if ye turn[H8804] H8104unto me, and keep[H8804] H4687my commandmentsH6213, and do[H8804] H5080them; though there were of you cast out[H8737] H7097unto the uttermost partH8064of the heavenH6908, yet will I gather[H8762] H935them from thence, and will bring[H8689] H4725them unto the placeH977that I have chosen[H8804] H7931to set[H8763] H8034my name there.
H5650Now these are thy servantsH5971and thy peopleH6299, whom thou hast redeemed[H8804] H1419by thy greatH3581powerH2389, and by thy strongH3027hand.
H136O LordH577, I beseechH241thee, let now thine earH7183be attentiveH8605to the prayerH5650of thy servantH8605, and to the prayerH5650of thy servantsH2655, who desireH3372to fear[H8800] H8034thy nameH6743: and prosper[H8685] H5650, I pray thee, thy servantH3117this dayH5414, and grant[H8798] H7356him mercyH6440in the sightH376of this manH4428. For I was the king'sH8248cupbearer[H8688] .
H6329And if thou draw out[H8686] H5315thy soulH7457to the hungryH7646, and satisfy[H8686] H6031the afflicted[H8737] H5315soulH216; then shall thy lightH2224rise[H8804] H2822in obscurityH653, and thy darknessH6672be as the noonday:
H3068And the LORDH5148shall guide[H8804] H8548thee continuallyH7646, and satisfy[H8689] H5315thy soulH6710in droughtH2502, and make fat[H8686] H6106thy bonesH7302: and thou shalt be like a wateredH1588gardenH4161, and like a springH4325of waterH4325, whose watersH3576fail[H8762] not.
H1840But DanielH7760purposed[H8799] H3820in his heartH1351that he would not defile[H8691] H6598himself with the portionH4428of the king'sH6598meatH3196, nor with the wineH4960which he drankH1245: therefore he requested[H8762] H8269of the princeH5631of the eunuchsH1351that he might not defile[H8691] himself.
H430Now GodH5414had brought[H8799] H1840DanielH2617into favourH7356and tender loveH6440withH8269the princeH5631of the eunuchs.
H8269And the princeH5631of the eunuchsH559said[H8799] H1840unto DanielH3373, I fearH113my lordH4428the kingH4487, who hath appointed[H8765] H3978your meatH4960and your drinkH7200: for why should he see[H8799] H6440your facesH2196worse liking[H8802] H3206than the childrenH1524which are of your sortH2325? then shall ye make me endanger[H8765] H7218my headH4428to the king.
H559Then said[H8799] H1840DanielH4453to MelzarH8269, whom the princeH5631of the eunuchsH4487had set[H8765] H1840over DanielH2608, HananiahH4332, MishaelH5838, and Azariah,
H5254Prove[H8761] H5650thy servantsH6235, I beseech thee, tenH3117daysH5414; and let them give[H8799] H2235us pulseH398to eat[H8799] H4325, and waterH8354to drink[H8799] .
H4758Then let our countenancesH7200be looked upon[H8735] H6440beforeH4758thee, and the countenanceH3206of the childrenH398that eat[H8802] H6598of the portionH4428of the king'sH6598meatH7200: and as thou seest[H8799] H6213, deal[H8798] H5650with thy servants.
H8085So he consented[H8799] H1697to them in this matterH5254, and proved[H8762] H6235them tenH3117days.
H7117And at the endH6235of tenH3117daysH4758their countenancesH7200appeared[H8738] H2896fairerH1277and fatterH1320in fleshH3206than all the childrenH398which did eat[H8802] H6598the portionH4428of the king'sH6598meat.
H4453Thus MelzarH5375took away[H8802] H6598the portion of their meatH3196, and the wineH4960that they should drinkH5414; and gave[H8802] H2235them pulse.
G1161ButG4771thouG3752, whenG4336thou prayest[G5741] G1525, enter[G5628] G1519intoG4675thyG5009closetG2532, andG2808when thou hast shut[G5660] G4675thyG2374doorG4336, pray[G5663] G4675to thyG3962FatherG3588whichG1722is inG2927secretG2532; andG4675thyG3962FatherG3588whichG991seeth[G5723] G1722inG2927secretG591shall reward[G5692] G4671theeG1722openlyG5318 .
H1732And DavidH559said[H8799] H54to AbiatharH3548the priestH288, Ahimelech'sH1121sonH5066, I pray thee, bring me hither[H8685] H646the ephodH54. And AbiatharH5066brought[H8686] H646thither the ephodH1732to David.
H1732And DavidH7592enquired[H8799] H3068at the LORDH559, saying[H8800] H7291, Shall I pursue[H8799] H310afterH1416this troopH5381? shall I overtake[H8686] H559them? And he answered[H8799] H7291him, Pursue[H8798] H5381: for thou shalt surely[H8687] H5381overtake[H8686] H5337them, and without fail[H8687] H5337recover[H8686] all .
H4210A PsalmH1732of DavidH4057, when he was in the wildernessH3063of JudahH430. O GodH410, thou art my GodH7836; early will I seek[H8762] H5315thee: my soulH6770thirsteth[H8804] H1320for thee, my fleshH3642longeth[H8804] H6723for thee in a dryH5889and thirstyH776landH1097, where noH4325water is;
H7200To see[H8800] H5797thy powerH3519and thy gloryH2372, so as I have seen[H8804] H6944thee in the sanctuary.
H2617Because thy lovingkindnessH2896is betterH2416than lifeH8193, my lipsH7623shall praise[H8762] thee.
H1288Thus will I bless[H8762] H2416thee while I liveH5375: I will lift up[H8799] H3709my handsH8034in thy name.
H5315My soulH7646shall be satisfied[H8799] H2459as with marrowH1880and fatnessH6310; and my mouthH1984shall praise[H8762] H7445thee with joyfulH8193lips:
H6419And he prayed[H8691] H3068unto the LORDH559, and said[H8799] H577, I prayH3068thee, O LORDH1697, was not this my sayingH127, when I was yet in my countryH1272? Therefore I fled[H8800] H6923before[H8765] H8659unto TarshishH3045: for I knew[H8804] H2587that thou art a graciousH410GodH7349, and mercifulH750, slowH639to angerH7227, and of greatH2617kindnessH5162, and repentest[H8737] H7451thee of the evil.
H2938O taste[H8798] H7200and see[H8798] H3068that the LORDH2896is goodH835: blessedH1397is the manH2620that trusteth[H8799] in him.
H3372O fear[H8798] H3068the LORDH6918, ye his saintsH4270: for there is no wantH3373to them that fear him.
H3715The young lionsH7326do lack[H8804] H7456, and suffer hunger[H8804] H1875: but they that seek[H8802] H3068the LORDH2637shall not want[H8799] H2896any good thing .
G2532AndG2258there was[G5713] G451one AnnaG4398, a prophetessG2364, the daughterG5323of PhanuelG1537, ofG5443the tribeG768of AserG3778: she[G5625] G846 G4183was of a greatG1722 G2250ageG4260 [G5761] G2198, and had lived[G5660] G3326withG435an husbandG2033sevenG2094yearsG575fromG846herG3932virginity;
G2532AndG3778sheG5503was a widowG5613of aboutG3589fourscoreG5064and fourG2094yearsG3739, whichG868departed[G5711] G3756notG575fromG2411the templeG3000, but served[G5723] G3521God with fastingsG2532andG1162prayersG3571nightG2532andG2250day.
H559Then he said[H8799] H3212unto them, Go your way[H8798] H398, eat[H8798] H4924the fatH8354, and drink[H8798] H4477the sweetH7971, and send[H8798] H4490portionsH3559unto them for whom nothing is prepared[H8737] H3117: for this dayH6918is holyH113unto our LordH6087: neither be ye sorry[H8735] H2304; for the joyH3068of the LORDH4581is your strength.
H3068Then will the LORDH7065be jealous[H8762] H776for his landH2550, and pity[H8799] H5971his people.
H3068Yea, the LORDH6030will answer[H8799] H559and say[H8799] H5971unto his peopleH7971, Behold, I will send[H8802] H1715you cornH8492, and wineH3323, and oilH7646, and ye shall be satisfied[H8804] H5414therewith: and I will no more make[H8799] H2781you a reproachH1471among the heathen:
H4782And MordecaiH3789wrote[H8799] H1697these thingsH7971, and sent[H8799] H5612lettersH3064unto all the JewsH4082that were in all the provincesH4428of the kingH325AhasuerusH7138, both nighH7350and far,
H6965To stablish[H8763] H6213this among them, that they should keep[H8802] H702the fourteenthH6240 H3117dayH2320of the monthH143AdarH2568, and the fifteenthH6240 H3117dayH8141of the same, yearlyH8141 ,
H3117As the daysH3064wherein the JewsH5117rested[H8804] H341from their enemies[H8802] H2320, and the monthH2015which was turned[H8738] H3015unto them from sorrowH8057to joyH60, and from mourningH2896into a goodH3117dayH6213: that they should make[H8800] H3117them daysH4960of feastingH8057and joyH4916, and of sendingH4490portionsH376oneH7453to anotherH4979, and giftsH34to the poor.
G1161NowG2258there were[G5713] G2596inG1577the churchG5607that was[G5752] G1722atG490AntiochG5100certainG4396prophetsG2532andG1320teachersG5037; asG921BarnabasG2532, andG4826SimeonG2564that was called[G5746] G3526NigerG2532, andG3066LuciusG2956of CyreneG5037, andG3127ManaenG4939, which had been brought upG2264with HerodG5076the tetrarchG2532, andG4569Saul.
G1161AsG846theyG3008ministered[G5723] G2962to the LordG2532, andG3522fasted[G5723] G40, the HolyG4151GhostG2036said[G5627] G1211,G873Separate[G5657] G3427meG5037 G921BarnabasG2532andG4569SaulG1519forG2041the workG3739whereuntoG4341I have called[G5766] G846them.
G5119AndG3522when they had fasted[G5660] G2532andG4336prayed[G5666] G2532, andG2007laidG5495their handsG2007on[G5631] G846themG630, they sent them away[G5656] .
H7725If thou turn away[H8686] H7272thy footH7676from the sabbathH6213, from doing[H8800] H2656thy pleasureH6944on my holyH3117dayH7121; and call[H8804] H7676the sabbathH6027a delightH6918, the holyH3068of the LORDH3513, honourable[H8794] H3513; and shalt honour[H8765] H6213him, not doing[H8800] H1870thine own waysH4672, nor finding[H8800] H2656thine own pleasureH1696, nor speaking[H8763] H1697thine own words:
H6026Then shalt thou delight[H8691] H3068thyself in the LORDH7392; and I will cause thee to ride[H8689] H1116upon the high placesH776of the earthH398, and feed[H8689] H5159thee with the heritageH3290of JacobH1thy fatherH6310: for the mouthH3068of the LORDH1696hath spoken[H8765] it .
H310It came to pass after thisH1121also, that the childrenH4124of MoabH1121, and the childrenH5983of AmmonH5984, and with them other beside the AmmonitesH935, came[H8804] H3092against JehoshaphatH4421to battle.
H935Then there came[H8799] H5046some that told[H8686] H3092JehoshaphatH559, saying[H8800] H935, There cometh[H8802] H7227a greatH1995multitudeH5676against thee from beyondH3220the seaH758on this side SyriaH2688; and, behold, they be in HazazontamarH5872, which is Engedi.
H3092And JehoshaphatH3372feared[H8799] H5414, and set[H8799] H6440himselfH1875to seek[H8800] H3068the LORDH7121, and proclaimed[H8799] H6685a fastH5921throughoutH3063all Judah.
H3063And JudahH6908gathered themselves together[H8735] H1245, to ask[H8763] H3068help of the LORDH5892: even out of all the citiesH3063of JudahH935they came[H8804] H1245to seek[H8763] H3068the LORD.
H3092And JehoshaphatH5975stood[H8799] H6951in the congregationH3063of JudahH3389and JerusalemH1004, in the houseH3068of the LORDH6440, beforeH2319the newH2691court,
H559And said[H8799] H3068, O LORDH430GodH1of our fathersH430, art not thou GodH8064in heavenH4910? and rulest[H8802] H4467not thou over all the kingdomsH1471of the heathenH3027? and in thine handH3581is there not powerH1369and mightH3320, so that none is able to withstand[H8692] thee?
H430Art not thou our GodH3423, who didst drive out[H8689] H3427the inhabitants[H8802] H776of this landH6440beforeH5971thy peopleH3478IsraelH5414, and gavest[H8799] H2233it to the seedH85of AbrahamH157thy friend[H8802] H5769for ever?
H3427And they dwelt[H8799] H1129therein, and have built[H8799] H4720thee a sanctuaryH8034therein for thy nameH559, saying[H8800] ,
H7451If, when evilH935cometh[H8799] H2719upon us, as the swordH8196, judgmentH1698, or pestilenceH7458, or famineH5975, we stand[H8799] H6440beforeH1004this houseH6440, and in thy presenceH8034, (for thy nameH1004is in this houseH2199,) and cry[H8799] H6869unto thee in our afflictionH8085, then thou wilt hear[H8799] H3467and help[H8686] .
H1121And now, behold, the childrenH5983of AmmonH4124and MoabH2022and mountH8165SeirH5414, whom thou wouldest not let[H8804] H3478IsraelH935invade[H8800] H935, when they came out[H8800] H776of the landH4714of EgyptH5493, but they turned[H8804] H8045from them, and destroyed[H8689] them not;
H1580Behold, I say, how they reward[H8802] H935us, to come[H8800] H1644to cast us out[H8763] H3425of thy possessionH3423, which thou hast given us to inherit[H8689] .
H430O our GodH8199, wilt thou not judge[H8799] H3581them? for we have no mightH6440againstH7227this greatH1995companyH935that cometh[H8802] H3045against us; neither know[H8799] H587weH6213what to do[H8799] H5869: but our eyes are upon thee.
H3063And all JudahH5975stood[H8802] H6440beforeH3068the LORDH1571, withH2945their little onesH802, their wivesH1121, and their children.
H3166Then upon JahazielH1121the sonH2148of ZechariahH1121, the sonH1141of BenaiahH1121, the sonH3273of JeielH1121, the sonH4983of MattaniahH3881, a LeviteH1121of the sonsH623of AsaphH7307, came the SpiritH3068of the LORDH8432in the midstH6951of the congregation;
H559And he said[H8799] H7181, Hearken[H8685] H3063ye, all JudahH3427, and ye inhabitants[H8802] H3389of JerusalemH4428, and thou kingH3092JehoshaphatH559, Thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH3372unto you, Be not afraid[H8799] H2865nor dismayed[H8735] H6440by reasonH7227of this greatH1995multitudeH4421; for the battleH430is not yours, but God's.
H4279To morrowH3381go ye down[H8798] H5927against them: behold, they come up[H8802] H4608by the cliffH6732of ZizH4672; and ye shall find[H8804] H5490them at the endH5158of the brookH6440, beforeH4057the wildernessH3385of Jeruel.
H3898Ye shall not need to fight[H8736] H2063in thisH3320battle : set[H8690] H5975yourselves, stand[H8798] H7200ye still, and see[H8798] H3444the salvationH3068of the LORDH3063with you, O JudahH3389and JerusalemH3372: fear[H8799] H2865not, nor be dismayed[H8735] H4279; to morrowH3318go out[H8798] H6440againstH3068them: for the LORD will be with you.
H3092And JehoshaphatH6915bowed[H8799] H639his head with his faceH776to the groundH3063: and all JudahH3427and the inhabitants[H8802] H3389of JerusalemH5307fell[H8804] H6440beforeH3068the LORDH7812, worshipping[H8692] H3068the LORD.
H3881And the LevitesH1121, of the childrenH6956of the KohathitesH1121, and of the childrenH7145of the KorhitesH6965, stood up[H8799] H1984to praise[H8763] H3068the LORDH430GodH3478of IsraelH1419with a loudH6963voiceH4605on high.
H7925And they rose early[H8686] H1242in the morningH3318, and went forth[H8799] H4057into the wildernessH8620of TekoaH3318: and as they went forth[H8800] H3092, JehoshaphatH5975stood[H8804] H559and said[H8799] H8085, Hear[H8798] H3063me, O JudahH3427, and ye inhabitants[H8802] H3389of JerusalemH539; Believe[H8685] H3068in the LORDH430your GodH539, so shall ye be established[H8735] H539; believe[H8685] H5030his prophetsH6743, so shall ye prosper[H8685] .
H3289And when he had consulted[H8735] H5971with the peopleH5975, he appointed[H8686] H7891singers[H8789] H3068unto the LORDH1984, and that should praise[H8764] H1927the beautyH6944of holinessH3318, as they went out[H8800] H6440beforeH2502the army[H8803] H559, and to say[H8802] H3034, Praise[H8685] H3068the LORDH2617; for his mercyH5769endureth for ever.
H6256And whenH2490they began[H8689] H7440to singH8416and to praiseH3068, the LORDH5414set[H8804] H693ambushments[H8764] H1121against the childrenH5983of AmmonH4124, MoabH2022, and mountH8165SeirH935, which were come[H8802] H3063against JudahH5062; and they were smitten[H8735] .
H1121For the childrenH5983of AmmonH4124and MoabH5975stood up[H8799] H3427against the inhabitants[H8802] H2022of mountH8165SeirH2763, utterly to slay[H8687] H8045and destroy[H8687] H3615them : and when they had made an end[H8763] H3427of the inhabitants[H8802] H8165of SeirH376, every oneH5826helped[H8804] H4889to destroyH7453another.
H3063And when JudahH935came[H8804] H4707toward the watch tower[H8677] H4708 H4057in the wildernessH6437, they looked[H8799] H1995unto the multitudeH6297, and, behold, they were dead bodiesH5307fallen[H8802] H776to the earthH6413, and none escaped.
H3092And when JehoshaphatH5971and his peopleH935came[H8799] H962to take away[H8800] H7998the spoilH4672of them, they found[H8799] H7230among them in abundanceH7399both richesH6297with the dead bodiesH2532, and preciousH3627jewelsH5337, which they stripped off[H8762] H369for themselves, more thanH4853they could carry awayH7969: and they were threeH3117daysH962in gathering[H8802] H7998of the spoilH7227, it was so much.
H7243And on the fourthH3117dayH6950they assembled[H8738] H6010themselves in the valleyH1294of BerachahH1288; for there they blessed[H8765] H3068the LORDH8034: therefore the nameH4725of the same placeH7121was called[H8804] H6010, The valleyH1294of BerachahH3117, unto this day.
H7725Then they returned[H8799] H376, every manH3063of JudahH3389and JerusalemH3092, and JehoshaphatH7218in the forefrontH7725of them, to go again[H8800] H3389to JerusalemH8057with joyH3068; for the LORDH8055had made them to rejoice[H8765] H341over their enemies[H8802] .
H935And they came[H8799] H3389to JerusalemH5035with psalteriesH3658and harpsH2689and trumpetsH1004unto the houseH3068of the LORD.
H6343And the fearH430of GodH4467was on all the kingdomsH776of those countriesH8085, when they had heard[H8800] H3068that the LORDH3898fought[H8738] H341against the enemies[H8802] H3478of Israel.
H4438So the realmH3092of JehoshaphatH8252was quiet[H8799] H430: for his GodH5117gave him rest[H8799] H5439round about.
H559Then said[H8799] H1840DanielH4453to MelzarH8269, whom the princeH5631of the eunuchsH4487had set[H8765] H1840over DanielH2608, HananiahH4332, MishaelH5838, and Azariah,
H5254Prove[H8761] H5650thy servantsH6235, I beseech thee, tenH3117daysH5414; and let them give[H8799] H2235us pulseH398to eat[H8799] H4325, and waterH8354to drink[H8799] .
H1121And the childrenH3478of IsraelH6965arose[H8799] H5927, and went up[H8799] H1004to the houseH430of God[H8677] H1008 H7592, and asked[H8799] H430counsel of GodH559, and said[H8799] H4310, WhichH5927of us shall go up[H8799] H8462firstH4421to the battleH1121against the childrenH1144of BenjaminH3068? And the LORDH559said[H8799] H3063, JudahH8462shall go up first.
H1121And the childrenH3478of IsraelH6965rose up[H8799] H1242in the morningH2583, and encamped[H8799] H1390against Gibeah.
H376And the menH3478of IsraelH3318went out[H8799] H4421to battleH1144against BenjaminH376; and the menH3478of IsraelH6186put themselves in array[H8799] H4421to fightH1390against them at Gibeah.
H1121And the childrenH1144of BenjaminH3318came forth[H8799] H1390out of GibeahH7843, and destroyed down[H8686] H776to the groundH3478of the IsraelitesH3117that dayH6242twentyH8147and twoH505thousandH376men.
H5971And the peopleH376the menH3478of IsraelH2388encouraged[H8691] H4421themselves, and set their battleH3254again[H8686] H6186in array[H8800] H4725in the placeH6186where they put themselves in array[H8804] H7223the firstH3117day.
H1121(And the childrenH3478of IsraelH5927went up[H8799] H1058and wept[H8799] H6440beforeH3068the LORDH6153until evenH7592, and asked[H8799] H3068counsel of the LORDH559, saying[H8800] H5066, Shall I go up[H8800] H3254again[H8686] H4421to battleH1121against the childrenH1144of BenjaminH251my brotherH3068? And the LORDH559said[H8799] H5927, Go up[H8798] against him.)
H1121And the childrenH3478of IsraelH7126came near[H8799] H1121against the childrenH1144of BenjaminH8145the secondH3117day.
H1144And BenjaminH3318went forth[H8799] H7125against[H8800] H1390them out of GibeahH8145the secondH3117dayH7843, and destroyed down[H8686] H776to the groundH1121of the childrenH3478of IsraelH8083again eighteenH6240 H505thousandH376menH8025; all these drew[H8802] H2719the sword.
H1121Then all the childrenH3478of IsraelH5971, and all the peopleH5927, went up[H8799] H935, and came[H8799] H1004unto the houseH430of God[H8677] H1008 H1058, and wept[H8799] H3427, and sat[H8799] H6440there beforeH3068the LORDH6684, and fasted[H8799] H3117that dayH6153until evenH5927, and offered[H8686] H5930burnt offeringsH8002and peace offeringsH6440beforeH3068the LORD.
G2532AndG3522when he had fasted[G5660] G5062fortyG2250daysG2532andG5062fortyG3571nightsG5305, he was afterwardG3983an hungred[G5656] .
G2532AndG3985when the tempter[G5723] G4334came[G5631] G846to himG2036, he said[G5627] G1487, IfG1488thou be[G5748] G5207the SonG2316of GodG2036, command[G5628] G2443thatG3778theseG3037stonesG1096be made[G5638] G740bread.
G1161ButG611he answered[G5679] G2036and said[G5627] G1125, It is written[G5769] G444, ManG2198shallG3756notG2198live[G5695] G1909byG740breadG3441aloneG235, butG1909byG3956everyG4487wordG1607that proceedeth[G5740] G1223out ofG4750the mouthG2316of God.
H7121Then shalt thou call[H8799] H3068, and the LORDH6030shall answer[H8799] H7768; thou shalt cry[H8762] H559, and he shall say[H8799] H5493, Here I am . If thou take away[H8686] H8432from the midstH4133of thee the yokeH7971, the putting forth[H8800] H676of the fingerH1696, and speaking[H8763] H205vanity;
H6329And if thou draw out[H8686] H5315thy soulH7457to the hungryH7646, and satisfy[H8686] H6031the afflicted[H8737] H5315soulH216; then shall thy lightH2224rise[H8804] H2822in obscurityH653, and thy darknessH6672be as the noonday:
H6942Sanctify[H8761] H6685ye a fastH7121, call[H8798] H6116a solemn assemblyH622, gather[H8798] H2205the eldersH3427and all the inhabitants[H8802] H776of the landH1004into the houseH3068of the LORDH430your GodH2199, and cry[H8798] H3068unto the LORD,
H162AlasH3117for the dayH3117! for the dayH3068of the LORDH7138is at handH7701, and as a destructionH7706from the AlmightyH935shall it come[H8799] .
H400Is not the meatH3772cut off[H8738] H5869before our eyesH8057, yea, joyH1524and gladnessH1004from the houseH430of our God?
H2199And he caused it to be proclaimed[H8686] H559and published[H8799] H5210through NinevehH2940by the decreeH4428of the kingH1419and his noblesH559, saying[H8800] H120, Let neither manH929nor beastH1241, herdH6629nor flockH2938, taste[H8799] H3972any thingH7462: let them not feed[H8799] H8354, nor drink[H8799] H4325water:
H120But let manH929and beastH3680be covered[H8691] H8242with sackclothH7121, and cry[H8799] H2394mightilyH430unto GodH7725: yea, let them turn[H8799] H376every oneH7451from his evilH1870wayH2555, and from the violenceH3709that is in their hands.
H3045Who can tell[H8802] H430if GodH7725will turn[H8799] H5162and repent[H8738] H7725, and turn away[H8804] H2740from his fierceH639angerH6, that we perish[H8799] not?
H430And GodH7200saw[H8799] H4639their worksH7725, that they turned[H8804] H7451from their evilH1870wayH430; and GodH5162repented[H8735] H7451of the evilH1696, that he had said[H8765] H6213that he would do[H8800] H6213unto them; and he did[H8804] it not.
H5416And NathanH3212departed[H8799] H1004unto his houseH3068. And the LORDH5062struck[H8799] H3206the childH223that Uriah'sH802wifeH3205bare[H8804] H1732unto DavidH605, and it was very sick[H8735] .
H1732DavidH1245therefore besought[H8762] H430GodH5288for the childH1732; and DavidH6684fasted[H8799] H6685 H935, and went in[H8804] H7901, and lay[H8804] H3885all night[H8804] H776upon the earth.
H116ThenH4430the kingH236went[H8754] H1965to his palaceH956, and passed the night[H8754] H2908fastingH3809: neitherH1761were instrumentsH5954of musick brought[H8684] H6925beforeH8139him: and his sleepH5075went[H8754] H5922from him.
H116ThenH4430the kingH6966arose[H8748] H8238very earlyH5053in the morningH236, and went[H8754] H927in haste[H8726] H1358unto the denH744of lions.
H7127And when he came[H8749] H1358to the denH2200, he cried[H8754] H6088with a lamentable[H8750] H7032voiceH1841unto DanielH4430: and the kingH6032spake[H8750] H560and said[H8750] H1841to DanielH1841, O DanielH5649, servantH2417of the livingH426GodH426, is thy GodH6399, whom thou servest[H8750] H8411continuallyH3202, able[H8754] H7804to deliver[H8756] H4481thee fromH744the lions?
H116ThenH4449said[H8745] H1841DanielH5974untoH4430the kingH4430, O kingH2418, live[H8747] H5957for ever.
H426My GodH7972hath sent[H8754] H4398his angelH5463, and hath shut[H8754] H744the lionsH6433' mouthsH3809, that they have notH2255hurt[H8745] H3606me: forasmuch asH6903 H6925beforeH2136him innocencyH7912was found[H8728] H638in me; and alsoH6925beforeH4430thee, O kingH5648, have I done[H8754] H3809noH2248hurt.
H116ThenH4430was the kingH7690exceedingH2868glad[H8754] H5922for himH560, and commanded[H8754] H5267that they should takeH1841DanielH5267up[H8682] H4481out ofH1358the denH1841. So DanielH5267was taken up[H8717] H4481out ofH1358the denH3809, and noH3606mannerH2257of hurtH7912was found[H8728] H540upon him, because he believed[H8684] H426in his God.
H4430And the kingH560commanded[H8754] H858, and they brought[H8684] H479thoseH1400menH399which had accused[H8754] H7170 H1841DanielH7412, and they cast[H8754] H1358them into the denH744of lionsH581, themH1123, their childrenH5389, and their wivesH744; and the lionsH5705had the masteryH7981 [H8754] H1855of them, and brakeH3606allH1635their bonesH1855in pieces[H8684] H3809or everH4291they came[H8754] H773at the bottomH1358of the den.
G2532AndG2112immediatelyG634there fell[G5627] G575fromG846hisG3788eyesG5616asG3013it had been scalesG308: and he received sight[G5656] G3916forthwithG5037, andG450arose[G5631] G2532, andG907was baptized[G5681] .
G2532AndG2983when he had received[G5631] G5160meatG1765, he was strengthened[G5656] G1161. ThenG1096was[G5633] G4569SaulG5100certainG2250daysG3326withG3101the disciplesG1722which were atG1154Damascus.
H5830Then EzraH6965rose up[H8799] H6440from beforeH1004the houseH430of GodH3212, and went[H8799] H3957into the chamberH3076of JohananH1121the sonH475of EliashibH3212: and when he came[H8799] H398thither, he did eat[H8804] H3899no breadH8354, nor drink[H8804] H4325waterH56: for he mourned[H8693] H4604because of the transgressionH1473of them that had been carried away.
H5674And they made proclamation[H8686] H6963 H3063throughout JudahH3389and JerusalemH1121unto all the childrenH1473of the captivityH6908, that they should gather themselves together[H8736] H3389unto Jerusalem;
H935And that whosoever would not come[H8799] H7969within threeH3117daysH6098, according to the counselH8269of the princesH2205and the eldersH7399, all his substanceH2763should be forfeited[H8714] H914, and himself separated[H8735] H6951from the congregationH1473of those that had been carried away.
H7969In the thirdH8141yearH3566of CyrusH4428kingH6539of PersiaH1697a thingH1540was revealed[H8738] H1840unto DanielH8034, whose nameH7121was called[H8738] H1095BelteshazzarH1697; and the thingH571was trueH6635, but the time appointedH1419was longH995: and he understood[H8804] H1697the thingH998, and had understandingH4758of the vision.
H3117In those daysH1840I DanielH56was mourning[H8693] H7969threeH3117fullH7620weeks.
H398I ate[H8804] H2532no pleasantH3899breadH935, neither came[H8804] H1320fleshH3196nor wineH6310in my mouthH5480, neither did I anoint[H8804] H5480myself at all[H8800] H7969, till threeH3117wholeH7620weeksH4390were fulfilled[H8800] .
G1161AndG3956every manG75that striveth for the mastery[G5740] G1467is temperate[G5736] G3956in all thingsG3303.G3767NowG1565theyG2443do it toG2983obtain[G5632] G5349a corruptibleG4735crownG1161; butG2249weG862an incorruptible.
G1473IG5106thereforeG3779soG5143run[G5719] G3756, notG5613asG84uncertainlyG3779; soG4438fight I[G5719] G3756, notG5613asG1194one that beateth[G5723] G109the air:
G235ButG5299I keep under[G5719] G3450myG4983bodyG2532, andG1396bring it into subjection[G5719] G3381: lest that by any meansG4458 G2784, when I have preached[G5660] G243to othersG846, I myselfG1096should be[G5638] G96a castaway.
H6419And I prayed[H8691] H3068unto the LORDH430my GodH3034, and made my confession[H8691] H559, and said[H8799] H577, OH136LordH1419, the greatH3372and dreadful[H8737] H410GodH8104, keeping[H8802] H1285the covenantH2617and mercyH157to them that love[H8802] H8104him, and to them that keep[H8802] H4687his commandments;
H2398We have sinned[H8804] H5753, and have committed iniquity[H8804] H7561, and have done wickedly[H8689] H4775, and have rebelled[H8804] H5493, even by departing[H8800] H4687from thy preceptsH4941and from thy judgments:
H8085Neither have we hearkened[H8804] H5650unto thy servantsH5030the prophetsH1696, which spake[H8765] H8034in thy nameH4428to our kingsH8269, our princesH1, and our fathersH5971, and to all the peopleH776of the land.
