King James Version
1. Now when the people complained, it displeased the LORD; for the LORD heard it , and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the LORD burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp. 2. Then the people cried out to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched. 3. So he called the name of the place Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them. 4. Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: "Who will give us meat to eat? 5. "We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6. "but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!" 7. Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium. 8. The people went about and gathered it , ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil. 9. And when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it. 10. Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was greatly aroused; Moses also was displeased. 11. So Moses said to the LORD, "Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all these people on me? 12. "Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land which You swore to their fathers? 13. "Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ 14. "I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me. 15. "If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now––if I have found favor in Your sight––and do not let me see my wretchedness!" 16. So the LORD said to Moses: "Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you. 17. "Then I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone. 18. "Then you shall say to the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the LORD, saying, "Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt." Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you shall eat. 19. ‘You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days, 20. ‘but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have despised the LORD who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, "Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?"’" 21. And Moses said, "The people whom I am among are six hundred thousand men on foot; yet You have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.’ 22. "Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to provide enough for them?" 23. And the LORD said to Moses, "Has the LORD’S arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether what I say will happen to you or not." 24. So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the tabernacle. 25. Then the LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again. 26. But two men had remained in the camp: the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them. Now they were among those listed, but who had not gone out to the tabernacle; yet they prophesied in the camp. 27. And a young man ran and told Moses, and said, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp." 28. So Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, one of his choice men, answered and said, "Moses my lord, forbid them!" 29. Then Moses said to him, "Are you zealous for my sake? Oh, that all the LORD’S people were prophets and that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!" 30. And Moses returned to the camp, both he and the elders of Israel. 31. Now a wind went out from the LORD, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground. 32. And the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers); and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp. 33. But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was aroused against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very great plague. 34. So he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had yielded to craving. 35. From Kibroth Hattaavah the people moved to Hazeroth, and camped at Hazeroth.
1. <> Those who trust in the LORD Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever. 0. 2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people From this time forth and forever. 3. For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity. 4. Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, And to those who are upright in their hearts. 5. As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD shall lead them away With the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
1. <> When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. 0. 2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." 3. The LORD has done great things for us, And we are glad. 4. Bring back our captivity, O LORD, As the streams in the South. 5. Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. 6. He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him .
1. <> Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. 0. 2 It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep. 3. Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. 4. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. 5. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
1. <> Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, Who walks in His ways. 0. 2When you eat the labor of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. 3. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table. 4. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the LORD. 5. The LORD bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem All the days of your life. 6. Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
1. <> "Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth," Let Israel now say–– 0. 2"Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me. 3. The plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long." 4. The LORD is righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked. 5. Let all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back. 6. Let them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up, 7. With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms. 8. Neither let those who pass by them say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD!"
1. <> Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD; 0. 2Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. 3. If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 4. But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared. 5. I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope. 6. My soul waits for the Lord More than those who watch for the morning–– Yes, more than those who watch for the morning. 7. O Israel, hope in the LORD; For with the LORD there is mercy, And with Him is abundant redemption. 8. And He shall redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
1. And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it , and even now you are still not able; 3. for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? 4. For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not carnal? 5. Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13. each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15. If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 16. Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17. If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. 18. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness"; 20. and again, "The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile." 21. Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: 22. whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come––all are yours. 23. And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
