for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.

God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.

5

God called the light "day," and the darkness He called "night." And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

7

God made the expanse, and separated the waters that were below the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse; and it was so.

8

God called the expanse "heaven." And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

20

Then God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens."

21

God made the animals of the earth according to their kind, and the livestock according to their kind, and everything that crawls on the ground according to its kind; and God saw that it was good.

26

Then God said, "Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth."

3

Outside the veil of the testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations.

4

6

And you shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD.

7

27

The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD drives you.

17

And it was told to Joshua, saying, "The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah."

18

So Joshua said, "Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men by it to guard them,

19

but do not stay there yourselves; pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for the LORD your God has handed them over to you."

20

It came about when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished striking them down in a very great defeat, until they were destroyed, and the survivors of them who escaped had entered the fortified cities,

7

Instead, the man who touches them
Must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear,
And they will be completely burned with fire in their place."David's Mighty Men

8

These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth, a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was called Adino the Eznite because of eight hundred who were killed by him at one time.

9

And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there to battle and the men of Israel had withdrawn.

10

He rose up and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary and it clung to the sword, and the LORD brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder the dead.

11

Now after him was Shammah the son of Agee, a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered into an army where there was a plot of land full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistines.

Which I have reserved for a time of distress,
For a day of war and battle?

24

Where is the way that the light is divided,
And the east wind scattered on the earth?

25

From whose womb has come the ice?
And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth?

30

Water becomes hard like stone,
And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.

31

2

Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.

3

There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.

12

Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.

13

Also keep Your servant back from presumptuous sins;
Let them not rule over me;
Then I will be innocent,
And I will be blameless of great wrongdoing.

14

2

When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

3

If an army encamps against me,
My heart will not fear;
If war arises against me,
In spite of this I am confident.

4

He makes the winds His messengers,
Flaming fire His ministers.

5

He established the earth upon its foundations,
So that it will not totter forever and ever.

You will multiply the nation,
You will increase their joy;
They will rejoice in Your presence
As with the joy of harvest,
As people rejoice when they divide the spoils.

4

For You will break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders,
The rod of their oppressor, as at the battle of Midian.

5

For every boot of the marching warrior in the roar of battle,
And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.

14

"I have kept silent for a long time,
I have kept still and restrained Myself.
Now like a woman in labor I will groan,
I will both gasp and pant.

15

I will lay waste the mountains and hills
And wither all their vegetation;
I will turn the rivers into coastlands
And dry up the ponds.

16

I will lead those who are blind by a way they have not known,
In paths they have not known I will guide them.
I will turn darkness into light before them
And uneven land into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will not leave them undone."

17

They will be turned back and be utterly put to shame,
Who trust in idols,
Who say to cast metal images,
"You are our gods."

18

Hear, you who are deaf!
And look, you who are blind, so that you may see.

But Zion said, "The LORD has abandoned me,
And the Lord has forgotten me."

15

"Can a woman forget her nursing child
And have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.

16

Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me.

2

For behold, darkness will cover the earth
And deep darkness the peoples;
But the LORD will rise upon you
And His glory will appear upon you.

3

Nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

A multitude of camels will cover you,
The young camels of Midian and Ephah;
All those from Sheba will come;
They will bring gold and frankincense,
And proclaim good news of the praises of the LORD.

7

All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you,
The rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
They will go up on My altar with acceptance,
And I will glorify My glorious house.

8

You will give truth to Jacob
And favor to Abraham,
Which You swore to our forefathers
From the days of old.

23

Therefore, if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you,

Come to good terms with your accuser quickly, while you are with him on the way to court, so that your accuser will not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you will not be thrown into prison.

26

Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last quadrans.

But he who received the one talent went away and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money.

Now when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."Parable of the Mustard Seed

30

And He was saying, "How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it?

31

It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is the smallest of all the seeds that are upon the soil,

49

For this reason also, the wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill, and some they will persecute,

A man came, one sent from God, and his name was John.

19

And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their deeds were evil.

21

But the one who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed as having been performed in God."John the Baptist's Last Testimony

17

8

The one who rejects Me and does not accept My teachings has one who judges him: the word which I spoke. That will judge him on the last day.

49

For I did not speak on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

50

And I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me."

26

For the king knows about these matters, and I also speak to him with confidence, since I am persuaded that none of these things escape his notice; for this has not been done in a corner.

27

we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;

9

persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;

for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.

22

He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

18

He is also the head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.

19

For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him,

7

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk, get drunk at night.

8

but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

8

If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

10

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.

"And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book."

I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
