King James Version
1. Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, And princes will rule with justice. 2. A man will be as a hiding place from the wind, And a cover from the tempest, As rivers of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. 3. The eyes of those who see will not be dim, And the ears of those who hear will listen. 4. Also the heart of the rash will understand knowledge, And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly. 5. The foolish person will no longer be called generous, Nor the miser said to be bountiful; 6. For the foolish person will speak foolishness, And his heart will work iniquity: To practice ungodliness, To utter error against the LORD, To keep the hungry unsatisfied, And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. 7. Also the schemes of the schemer are evil; He devises wicked plans To destroy the poor with lying words, Even when the needy speaks justice. 8. But a generous man devises generous things, And by generosity he shall stand. 9. Rise up, you women who are at ease, Hear my voice; You complacent daughters, Give ear to my speech. 10. In a year and some days You will be troubled, you complacent women; For the vintage will fail, The gathering will not come. 11. Tremble, you women who are at ease; Be troubled, you complacent ones; Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare, And gird sackcloth on your waists. 12. People shall mourn upon their breasts For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine. 13. On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers, Yes, on all the happy homes in the joyous city; 14. Because the palaces will be forsaken, The bustling city will be deserted. The forts and towers will become lairs forever, A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks–– 15. Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is counted as a forest. 16. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, And righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 17. The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. 18. My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, In secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places, 19. Though hail comes down on the forest, And the city is brought low in humiliation. 20. Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, Who send out freely the feet of the ox and the donkey.
1. Woe to you who plunder, though you have not been plundered; And you who deal treacherously, though they have not dealt treacherously with you! When you cease plundering, You will be plundered; When you make an end of dealing treacherously, They will deal treacherously with you. 2. O LORD, be gracious to us; We have waited for You. Be their arm every morning, Our salvation also in the time of trouble. 3. At the noise of the tumult the people shall flee; When You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered; 4. And Your plunder shall be gathered Like the gathering of the caterpillar; As the running to and fro of locusts, He shall run upon them. 5. The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. 6. Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the LORD is His treasure. 7. Surely their valiant ones shall cry outside, The ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. 8. The highways lie waste, The traveling man ceases. He has broken the covenant, He has despised the cities, He regards no man. 9. The earth mourns and languishes, Lebanon is shamed and shriveled; Sharon is like a wilderness, And Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits . 10. "Now I will rise," says the LORD; "Now I will be exalted, Now I will lift Myself up. 11. You shall conceive chaff, You shall bring forth stubble; Your breath, as fire, shall devour you. 12. And the people shall be like the burnings of lime; Like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire. 13. Hear, you who are afar off, what I have done; And you who are near, acknowledge My might." 14. The sinners in Zion are afraid; Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites: "Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?" 15. He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, He who despises the gain of oppressions, Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes, Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, And shuts his eyes from seeing evil: 16. He will dwell on high; His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks; Bread will be given him, His water will be sure. 17. Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They will see the land that is very far off. 18. Your heart will meditate on terror: "Where is the scribe? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?" 19. You will not see a fierce people, A people of obscure speech, beyond perception, Of a stammering tongue that you cannot understand. 20. Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet home, A tabernacle that will not be taken down; Not one of its stakes will ever be removed, Nor will any of its cords be broken. 21. But there the majestic LORD will be for us A place of broad rivers and streams, In which no galley with oars will sail, Nor majestic ships pass by 22. (For the LORD is our Judge, The LORD is our Lawgiver, The LORD is our King; He will save us); 23. Your tackle is loosed, They could not strengthen their mast, They could not spread the sail. Then the prey of great plunder is divided; The lame take the prey. 24. And the inhabitant will not say, "I am sick"; The people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.
19. Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20. by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21. and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22. let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25. not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another , and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. 26. For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27. but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30. For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The LORD will judge His people." 31. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 32. But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33. partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; 34. for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven. 35. Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 37. "For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry. 38. Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him." 39. But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
