ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁰ A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵¹ And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵² And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.

¹⁹ So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising. sunrising.

² Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, he is the God, which is in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.

¹ And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

³ A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

¹³ For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ Therefore say I unto you, you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵² Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never never never taste of death.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ For For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
