King James Version
1. These are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel defeated, and whose land they possessed on the other side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the eastern Jordan plain: 2. One king was Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon and ruled half of Gilead, from Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, from the middle of that river, even as far as the River Jabbok, which is the border of the Ammonites, 3. and the eastern Jordan plain from the Sea of Chinneroth as far as the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea), the road to Beth Jeshimoth, and southward below the slopes of Pisgah. 4. The other king was Og king of Bashan and his territory, who was of the remnant of the giants, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, 5. and reigned over Mount Hermon, over Salcah, over all Bashan, as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and over half of Gilead to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon. 6. These Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel had conquered; and Moses the servant of the LORD had given it as a possession to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh. 7. And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel conquered on this side of the Jordan, on the west, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon as far as Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, which Joshua gave to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions, 8. in the mountain country, in the lowlands, in the Jordan plain, in the slopes, in the wilderness, and in the South––the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: 9. the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one; 10. the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one; 11. the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one; 12. the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one; 13. the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one; 14. the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one; 15. the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one; 16. the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one; 17. the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one; 18. the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one; 19. the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one; 20. the king of Shimron Meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one; 21. the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one; 22. the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one; 23. the king of Dor in the heights of Dor, one; the king of the people of Gilgal, one; 24. the king of Tirzah, one––all the kings, thirty–one.
1. "Woe to the rebellious children," says the LORD, "Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, That they may add sin to sin; 2. Who walk to go down to Egypt, And have not asked My advice, To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt! 3. Therefore the strength of Pharaoh Shall be your shame, And trust in the shadow of Egypt Shall be your humiliation. 4. For his princes were at Zoan, And his ambassadors came to Hanes. 5. They were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them, Or be help or benefit, But a shame and also a reproach." 6. The burden against the beasts of the South. Through a land of trouble and anguish, From which came the lioness and lion, The viper and fiery flying serpent, They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys, And their treasures on the humps of camels, To a people who shall not profit; 7. For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose. Therefore I have called her Rahab–Hem–Shebeth. 8. Now go, write it before them on a tablet, And note it on a scroll, That it may be for time to come, Forever and ever: 9. That this is a rebellious people, Lying children, Children who will not hear the law of the LORD; 10. Who say to the seers, "Do not see," And to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits. 11. Get out of the way, Turn aside from the path, Cause the Holy One of Israel To cease from before us." 12. Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel: "Because you despise this word, And trust in oppression and perversity, And rely on them, 13. Therefore this iniquity shall be to you Like a breach ready to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant. 14. And He shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel, Which is broken in pieces; He shall not spare. So there shall not be found among its fragments A shard to take fire from the hearth, Or to take water from the cistern." 15. For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: "In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." But you would not, 16. And you said, "No, for we will flee on horses" ––Therefore you shall flee! And, "We will ride on swift horses " ––Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift! 17. One thousand shall flee at the threat of one, At the threat of five you shall flee, Till you are left as a pole on top of a mountain And as a banner on a hill. 18. Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him. 19. For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; You shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; When He hears it, He will answer you. 20. And though the Lord gives you The bread of adversity and the water of affliction, Yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, But your eyes shall see your teachers. 21. Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left. 22. You will also defile the covering of your graven images of silver, And the ornament of your molded images of gold. You will throw them away as an unclean thing; You will say to them, "Get away!" 23. Then He will give the rain for your seed With which you sow the ground, And bread of the increase of the earth; It will be fat and plentiful. In that day your cattle will feed In large pastures. 24. Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that work the ground Will eat cured fodder, Which has been winnowed with the shovel and fan. 25. There will be on every high mountain And on every high hill Rivers and streams of waters, In the day of the great slaughter, When the towers fall. 26. Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun will be sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day that the LORD binds up the bruise of His people And heals the stroke of their wound. 27. Behold, the name of the LORD comes from afar, Burning with His anger, And His burden is heavy; His lips are full of indignation, And His tongue like a devouring fire. 28. His breath is like an overflowing stream, Which reaches up to the neck, To sift the nations with the sieve of futility; And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, Causing them to err. 29. You shall have a song As in the night when a holy festival is kept, And gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, To come into the mountain of the LORD, To the Mighty One of Israel. 30. The LORD will cause His glorious voice to be heard, And show the descent of His arm, With the indignation of His anger And the flame of a devouring fire, With scattering, tempest, and hailstones. 31. For through the voice of the LORD Assyria will be beaten down, As He strikes with the rod. 32. And in every place where the staff of punishment passes, Which the LORD lays on him, It will be with tambourines and harps; And in battles of brandishing He will fight with it. 33. For Tophet was established of old, Yes, for the king it is prepared. He has made it deep and large; Its pyre is fire with much wood; The breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, Kindles it.
1. Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead), 2. and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: 3. Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4. who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5. to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. 6. I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7. which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. 10. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. 11. But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it , but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. 13. For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it. 14. And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, 16. to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, 17. nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. 18. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. 19. But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. 20. (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.) 21. Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22. And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ. 23. But they were hearing only, "He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy." 24. And they glorified God in me.
