King James Version
1. Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, "Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?" 2. And the LORD said, "Judah shall go up. Indeed I have delivered the land into his hand." 3. So Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me to my allotted territory, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I will likewise go with you to your allotted territory." And Simeon went with him. 4. Then Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they killed ten thousand men at Bezek. 5. And they found Adoni–Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 6. Then Adoni–Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes. 7. And Adoni–Bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me." Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died. 8. Now the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem and took it; they struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire. 9. And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the mountains, in the South, and in the lowland. 10. Then Judah went against the Canaanites who dwelt in Hebron. (Now the name of Hebron was formerly Kirjath Arba.) And they killed Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. 11. From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir was formerly Kirjath Sepher.) 12. Then Caleb said, "Whoever attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give my daughter Achsah as wife." 13. And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah as wife. 14. Now it happened, when she came to him , that she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?" 15. So she said to him, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water." And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. 16. Now the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father–in–law, went up from the City of Palms with the children of Judah into the Wilderness of Judah, which lies in the South near Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people. 17. And Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called Hormah. 18. Also Judah took Gaza with its territory, Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory. 19. So the LORD was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron. 20. And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. Then he expelled from there the three sons of Anak. 21. But the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day. 22. And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them. 23. So the house of Joseph sent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly Luz.) 24. And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, "Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will show you mercy." 25. So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go. 26. And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day. 27. However, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land. 28. And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites under tribute, but did not completely drive them out. 29. Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; so the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. 30. Nor did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, and were put under tribute. 31. Nor did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Acco or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob. 32. So the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out. 33. Nor did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but they dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were put under tribute to them. 34. And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley; 35. and the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they were put under tribute. 36. Now the boundary of the Amorites was from the Ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.
1. But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. 2. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. 3. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. 4. Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life. 5. Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, And gather you from the west; 6. I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the earth–– 7. Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him." 8. Bring out the blind people who have eyes, And the deaf who have ears. 9. Let all the nations be gathered together, And let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this, And show us former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; Or let them hear and say, " It is truth." 10. "You are My witnesses," says the LORD, "And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. 11. I, even I, am the LORD, And besides Me there is no savior. 12. I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are My witnesses," Says the LORD, "that I am God. 13. Indeed before the day was , I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?" 14. Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "For your sake I will send to Babylon, And bring them all down as fugitives––The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships. 15. I am the LORD, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King." 16. Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea And a path through the mighty waters, 17. Who brings forth the chariot and horse, The army and the power (They shall lie down together, they shall not rise; They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick): 18. "Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. 19. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. 20. The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen. 21. This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise. 22. "But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob; And you have been weary of Me, O Israel. 23. You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings, Nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings, Nor wearied you with incense. 24. You have bought Me no sweet cane with money, Nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices; But you have burdened Me with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities. 25. "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. 26. Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case , that you may be acquitted. 27. Your first father sinned, And your mediators have transgressed against Me. 28. Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; I will give Jacob to the curse, And Israel to reproaches.
22. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26. that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27. that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31. "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." 32. This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
