King James Version
1. "You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep going astray, and hide yourself from them; you shall certainly bring them back to your brother. 2. "And if your brother is not near you, or if you do not know him, then you shall bring it to your own house, and it shall remain with you until your brother seeks it; then you shall restore it to him. 3. "You shall do the same with his donkey, and so shall you do with his garment; with any lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost and you have found, you shall do likewise; you must not hide yourself. 4. "You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fall down along the road, and hide yourself from them; you shall surely help him lift them up again. 5. "A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your God. 6. "If a bird’s nest happens to be before you along the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, with the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young; 7. "you shall surely let the mother go, and take the young for yourself, that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days. 8. "When you build a new house, then you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring guilt of bloodshed on your household if anyone falls from it. 9. "You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seed, lest the yield of the seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard be defiled. 10. "You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together. 11. "You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, such as wool and linen mixed together. 12. "You shall make tassels on the four corners of the clothing with which you cover yourself . 13. "If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and detests her, 14. "and charges her with shameful conduct, and brings a bad name on her, and says, ‘I took this woman, and when I came to her I found she was not a virgin,’ 15. "then the father and mother of the young woman shall take and bring out the evidence of the young woman’s virginity to the elders of the city at the gate. 16. "And the young woman’s father shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man as wife, and he detests her. 17. ‘Now he has charged her with shameful conduct, saying, "I found your daughter was not a virgin," and yet these are the evidences of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 18. "Then the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him; 19. "and they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name on a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife; he cannot divorce her all his days. 20. "But if the thing is true, and evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, 21. "then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel, to play the harlot in her father’s house. So you shall put away the evil from among you. 22. "If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then both of them shall die––the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; so you shall put away the evil from Israel. 23. "If a young woman who is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her, 24. "then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he humbled his neighbor’s wife; so you shall put away the evil from among you. 25. "But if a man finds a betrothed young woman in the countryside, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die. 26. "But you shall do nothing to the young woman; there is in the young woman no sin deserving of death, for just as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter. 27. "For he found her in the countryside, and the betrothed young woman cried out, but there was no one to save her. 28. "If a man finds a young woman who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are found out, 29. "then the man who lay with her shall give to the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife because he has humbled her; he shall not be permitted to divorce her all his days. 30. "A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s bed.
1. For behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, Takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah The stock and the store, The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water; 2. The mighty man and the man of war, The judge and the prophet, And the diviner and the elder; 3. The captain of fifty and the honorable man, The counselor and the skillful artisan, And the expert enchanter. 4. "I will give children to be their princes, And babes shall rule over them. 5. The people will be oppressed, Every one by another and every one by his neighbor; The child will be insolent toward the elder, And the base toward the honorable." 6. When a man takes hold of his brother In the house of his father, saying , "You have clothing; You be our ruler, And let these ruins be under your power," 7. In that day he will protest, saying, "I cannot cure your ills, For in my house is neither food nor clothing; Do not make me a ruler of the people." 8. For Jerusalem stumbled, And Judah is fallen, Because their tongue and their doings Are against the LORD, To provoke the eyes of His glory. 9. The look on their countenance witnesses against them, And they declare their sin as Sodom; They do not hide it . Woe to their soul! For they have brought evil upon themselves. 10. "Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them , For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11. Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him , For the reward of his hands shall be given him. 12. As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths." 13. The LORD stands up to plead, And stands to judge the people. 14. The LORD will enter into judgment With the elders of His people And His princes: "For you have eaten up the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses. 15. What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the faces of the poor?" Says the Lord GOD of hosts. 16. Moreover the LORD says: "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, And walk with outstretched necks And wanton eyes, Walking and mincing as they go, Making a jingling with their feet, 17. Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, And the LORD will uncover their secret parts." 18. In that day the Lord will take away the finery: The jingling anklets, the scarves, and the crescents; 19. The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils; 20. The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands; The perfume boxes, the charms, 21. and the rings; The nose jewels, 22. the festal apparel, and the mantles; The outer garments, the purses, 23. and the mirrors; The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes. 24. And so it shall be: Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench; Instead of a sash, a rope; Instead of well–set hair, baldness; Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty. 25. Your men shall fall by the sword, And your mighty in the war. 26. Her gates shall lament and mourn, And she being desolate shall sit on the ground.
1. And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, "We will eat our own food and wear our own apparel; Only let us be called by your name, To take away our reproach." 2. In that day the Branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious; And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing For those of Israel who have escaped. 3. And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy––everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4. When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, 5. then the LORD will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering. 6. And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.
1. Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem. 2. Now when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault. 3. For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders. 4. When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches. 5. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?" 6. He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. 7. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ 8. "For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men––the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do." 9. He said to them, " All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. 10. "For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 11. "But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban" ––’(that is, a gift to God ), 12. "then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, 13. "making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do." 14. When He had called all the multitude to Himself , He said to them, "Hear Me, everyone, and understand: 15. "There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man. 16. "If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!" 17. When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable. 18. So He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, 19. "because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?" 20. And He said, "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21. "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22. "thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. 23. "All these evil things come from within and defile a man."
