1.   These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2.   Now Moses wrote down the starting points of their journeys at the command of the LORD. And these are their journeys according to their starting points: 3.   They departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out with boldness in the sight of all the Egyptians. 4.   For the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, whom the LORD had killed among them. Also on their gods the LORD had executed judgments. 5.   Then the children of Israel moved from Rameses and camped at Succoth. 6.   They departed from Succoth and camped at Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness. 7.   They moved from Etham and turned back to Pi Hahiroth, which is east of Baal Zephon; and they camped near Migdol. 8.   They departed from before Hahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, went three days’ journey in the Wilderness of Etham, and camped at Marah. 9.   They moved from Marah and came to Elim. At Elim were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there. 10.   They moved from Elim and camped by the Red Sea. 11.   They moved from the Red Sea and camped in the Wilderness of Sin. 12.   They journeyed from the Wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah. 13.   They departed from Dophkah and camped at Alush. 14.   They moved from Alush and camped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink. 15.   They departed from Rephidim and camped in the Wilderness of Sinai. 16.   They moved from the Wilderness of Sinai and camped at Kibroth Hattaavah. 17.   They departed from Kibroth Hattaavah and camped at Hazeroth. 18.   They departed from Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah. 19.   They departed from Rithmah and camped at Rimmon Perez. 20.   They departed from Rimmon Perez and camped at Libnah. 21.   They moved from Libnah and camped at Rissah. 22.   They journeyed from Rissah and camped at Kehelathah. 23.   They went from Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher. 24.   They moved from Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah. 25.   They moved from Haradah and camped at Makheloth. 26.   They moved from Makheloth and camped at Tahath. 27.   They departed from Tahath and camped at Terah. 28.   They moved from Terah and camped at Mithkah. 29.   They went from Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah. 30.   They departed from Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth. 31.   They departed from Moseroth and camped at Bene Jaakan. 32.   They moved from Bene Jaakan and camped at Hor Hagidgad. 33.   They went from Hor Hagidgad and camped at Jotbathah. 34.   They moved from Jotbathah and camped at Abronah. 35.   They departed from Abronah and camped at Ezion Geber. 36.   They moved from Ezion Geber and camped in the Wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. 37.   They moved from Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor, on the boundary of the land of Edom. 38.   Then Aaron the priest went up to Mount Hor at the command of the LORD, and died there in the fortieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month. 39.   Aaron was one hundred and twenty–three years old when he died on Mount Hor. 40.   Now the king of Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. 41.   So they departed from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah. 42.   They departed from Zalmonah and camped at Punon. 43.   They departed from Punon and camped at Oboth. 44.   They departed from Oboth and camped at Ije Abarim, at the border of Moab. 45.   They departed from Ijim and camped at Dibon Gad. 46.   They moved from Dibon Gad and camped at Almon Diblathaim. 47.   They moved from Almon Diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 48.   They departed from the mountains of Abarim and camped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho. 49.   They camped by the Jordan, from Beth Jesimoth as far as the Abel Acacia Grove in the plains of Moab.

1.   The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. 2.   All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the spirits. 3.   Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established. 4.   The LORD has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom. 5.   Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished. 6.   In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the LORD one departs from evil. 7.   When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8.   Better is a little with righteousness, Than vast revenues without justice. 9.   A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. 10.   Divination is on the lips of the king; His mouth must not transgress in judgment. 11.   Honest weights and scales are the LORD’S; All the weights in the bag are His work. 12.   It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, For a throne is established by righteousness. 13.   Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And they love him who speaks what is right. 14.   As messengers of death is the king’s wrath, But a wise man will appease it. 15.   In the light of the king’s face is life, And his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain. 16.   How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. 17.   The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who keeps his way preserves his soul. 18.   Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. 19.   Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud. 20.   He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he. 21.   The wise in heart will be called prudent, And sweetness of the lips increases learning. 22.   Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it. But the correction of fools is folly. 23.   The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, And adds learning to his lips. 24.   Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. 25.   There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. 26.   The person who labors, labors for himself, For his hungry mouth drives him on . 27.   An ungodly man digs up evil, And it is on his lips like a burning fire. 28.   A perverse man sows strife, And a whisperer separates the best of friends. 29.   A violent man entices his neighbor, And leads him in a way that is not good. 30.   He winks his eye to devise perverse things; He purses his lips and brings about evil. 31.   The silver–haired head is a crown of glory, If it is found in the way of righteousness. 32.   He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. 33.   The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD.

1.   But I determined this within myself, that I would not come again to you in sorrow. 2.   For if I make you sorrowful, then who is he who makes me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me? 3.   And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all. 4.   For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you, with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you. 5.   But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent––not to be too severe. 6.   This punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man, 7.   so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him , lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow. 8.   Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him. 9.   For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things. 10.   Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive . For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, 11.   lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. 12.   Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord, 13.   I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia. 14.   Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15.   For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 16.   To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17.   For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.
