King James Version
1. It came to pass after these things that the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. 2. And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker. 3. So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined. 4. And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while. 5. Then the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, had a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation. 6. And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were sad. 7. So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the custody of his lord’s house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?" 8. And they said to him, "We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it." So Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please." 9. Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "Behold, in my dream a vine was before me, 10. "and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes. 11. "Then Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand." 12. And Joseph said to him, "This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days. 13. "Now within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler. 14. "But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house. 15. "For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews; and also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon." 16. When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, "I also was in my dream, and there were three white baskets on my head. 17. "In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head." 18. So Joseph answered and said, "This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. 19. "Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head from you and hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you." 20. Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. 21. Then he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand. 22. But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23. Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
1. Then Job answered and said: 2. "No doubt you are the people, And wisdom will die with you! 3. But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Indeed, who does not know such things as these? 4. "I am one mocked by his friends, Who called on God, and He answered him, The just and blameless who is ridiculed. 5. A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease; It is made ready for those whose feet slip. 6. The tents of robbers prosper, And those who provoke God are secure––In what God provides by His hand. 7. "But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you; 8. Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you. 9. Who among all these does not know That the hand of the LORD has done this, 10. In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind? 11. Does not the ear test words And the mouth taste its food? 12. Wisdom is with aged men, And with length of days, understanding. 13. "With Him are wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding. 14. If He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt; If He imprisons a man, there can be no release. 15. If He withholds the waters, they dry up; If He sends them out, they overwhelm the earth. 16. With Him are strength and prudence. The deceived and the deceiver are His. 17. He leads counselors away plundered, And makes fools of the judges. 18. He loosens the bonds of kings, And binds their waist with a belt. 19. He leads princes away plundered, And overthrows the mighty. 20. He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders. 21. He pours contempt on princes, And disarms the mighty. 22. He uncovers deep things out of darkness, And brings the shadow of death to light. 23. He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and guides them. 24. He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, And makes them wander in a pathless wilderness. 25. They grope in the dark without light, And He makes them stagger like a drunken man .
1. Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2. saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. 3. "And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them." 4. All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: 5. "Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.’" 6. So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. 7. They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. 8. And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’ Hosanna in the highest!" 10. And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, "Who is this?" 11. So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee." 12. Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13. And He said to them, "It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’" 14. Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. 15. But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant 16. and said to Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise’?" 17. Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and He lodged there. 18. Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 19. And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, "Let no fruit grow on you ever again." Immediately the fig tree withered away. 20. And when the disciples saw it , they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree wither away so soon?" 21. So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. 22. "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
