³² And what shall I say more? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and of Barak and of Samson and of Jephthah, of David also and Samuel and of the prophets,

³³ who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

³⁴ quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword. Out of weakness they were made strong, waxed valiant in battle, and turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again, and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

³⁶ And others endured the trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea moreover, of bonds and imprisonment.

³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented

³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy). They wandered in deserts and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
