¹⁶ But ^(A)in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity ^(B)of the Amorites ^(C)is not yet complete.”

²⁶ And he behaved very abominably in following idols, according to all ^(A)that the Amorites had done, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.

^32 (A)Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. ³³ Serpents, ^(B)brood^[a] of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? ^34 (C)Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: ^(D)some of them you will kill and crucify, and ^(E)some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, ^35 (F)that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, ^(G)from the blood of righteous Abel to ^(H)the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

⁴⁰ Now the ^[a]sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in ^[b]Egypt was ^(A)four hundred and thirty years.

^16 (A)forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always ^(B)to fill up the measure of their sins; ^(C)but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.

⁸ But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and ^(A)a thousand years as one day. ^9 (B)The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but ^(C)is longsuffering toward ^[a]us, ^(D)not willing that any should perish but ^(E)that all should come to repentance.

Vision of the Woman in a Basket

⁵ Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.”

⁶ So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a ^[a]basket that is going forth.”

He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth: ⁷ Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; ⁸ then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead ^[b]cover over its mouth. ⁹ Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a ^(A)stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

¹⁰ So I said to the ^(B)angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”

¹¹ And he said to me, “To ^(C)build a house for it in ^(D)the land of ^[c]Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”
