Judges 1

New International Version

Israel Fights the Remaining Canaanites^(A)

1 After the death^(B) of Joshua, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Who of us is to go up first^(C) to fight against the Canaanites?^(D)”

²The Lord answered, “Judah^(E) shall go up; I have given the land into their hands.^(F)”

³The men of Judah then said to the Simeonites their fellow Israelites, “Come up with us into the territory allotted to us, to fight against the Canaanites. We in turn will go with you into yours.” So the Simeonites^(G) went with them.

⁴When Judah attacked, the Lord gave the Canaanites and Perizzites^(H) into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.^(I) ⁵It was there that they found Adoni-Bezek^(J) and fought against him, putting to rout the Canaanites and Perizzites. ⁶Adoni-Bezek fled, but they chased him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

⁷Then Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back^(K) for what I did to them.” They brought him to Jerusalem,^(L) and he died there.

⁸The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem^(M) also and took it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.

⁹After that, Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country,^(N) the Negev^(O) and the western foothills. ¹⁰They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron^(P) (formerly called Kiriath Arba^(Q)) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.^(R) ¹¹From there they advanced against the people living in Debir^(S) (formerly called Kiriath Sepher).

¹²And Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Aksah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.” ¹³Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him in marriage.

¹⁴One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him^[a] to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”

¹⁵She replied, “Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.^(T)

¹⁶The descendants of Moses’ father-in-law,^(U) the Kenite,^(V) went up from the City of Palms^[b]^(W) with the people of Judah to live among the inhabitants of the Desert of Judah in the Negev near Arad.^(X)

¹⁷Then the men of Judah went with the Simeonites^(Y) their fellow Israelites and attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and they totally destroyed^[c] the city. Therefore it was called Hormah.^[d]^(Z) ¹⁸Judah also took^[e] Gaza,^(AA) Ashkelon^(AB) and Ekron—each city with its territory.

¹⁹The Lord was with^(AC) the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country,^(AD) but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had chariots fitted with iron.^(AE) ²⁰As Moses had promised, Hebron^(AF) was given to Caleb, who drove from it the three sons of Anak.^(AG) ²¹The Benjamites, however, did not drive out^(AH) the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem;^(AI) to this day the Jebusites live there with the Benjamites.

²²Now the tribes of Joseph^(AJ) attacked Bethel,^(AK) and the Lord was with them. ²³When they sent men to spy out Bethel (formerly called Luz),^(AL) ²⁴the spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, “Show us how to get into the city and we will see that you are treated well.^(AM)” ²⁵So he showed them, and they put the city to the sword but spared^(AN) the man and his whole family. ²⁶He then went to the land of the Hittites,^(AO) where he built a city and called it Luz,^(AP) which is its name to this day.

²⁷But Manasseh did not^(AQ) drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor^(AR) or Ibleam^(AS) or Megiddo^(AT) and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites^(AU) were determined to live in that land. ²⁸When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely.^(AV) ²⁹Nor did Ephraim^(AW) drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer,^(AX) but the Canaanites continued to live there among them.^(AY) ³⁰Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, so these Canaanites lived among them, but Zebulun did subject them to forced labor. ³¹Nor did Asher^(AZ) drive out those living in Akko or Sidon^(BA) or Ahlab or Akzib^(BB) or Helbah or Aphek^(BC) or Rehob.^(BD) ³²The Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they did not drive them out. ³³Neither did Naphtali drive out those living in Beth Shemesh^(BE) or Beth Anath^(BF); but the Naphtalites too lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and those living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced laborers for them. ³⁴The Amorites^(BG) confined the Danites^(BH) to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain.^(BI) ³⁵And the Amorites were determined also to hold out in Mount Heres,^(BJ) Aijalon^(BK) and Shaalbim,^(BL) but when the power of the tribes of Joseph increased, they too were pressed into forced labor. ³⁶The boundary of the Amorites was from Scorpion Pass^(BM) to Sela^(BN) and beyond.^(BO)

A Message About Moab^(A)

48 Concerning Moab:^(B)

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:

“Woe to Nebo,^(C) for it will be ruined.
    Kiriathaim^(D) will be disgraced and captured;
    the stronghold^[a] will be disgraced and shattered.
²Moab will be praised^(E) no more;
    in Heshbon^[b]^(F) people will plot her downfall:
    ‘Come, let us put an end to that nation.’^(G)
You, the people of Madmen,^[c] will also be silenced;
    the sword will pursue you.
³Cries of anguish arise from Horonaim,^(H)
    cries of great havoc and destruction.
⁴Moab will be broken;
    her little ones will cry out.^[d]
⁵They go up the hill to Luhith,^(I)
    weeping bitterly as they go;
on the road down to Horonaim^(J)
    anguished cries over the destruction are heard.
⁶Flee!^(K) Run for your lives;
    become like a bush^[e] in the desert.^(L)
⁷Since you trust in your deeds and riches,^(M)
    you too will be taken captive,
and Chemosh^(N) will go into exile,^(O)
    together with his priests and officials.^(P)
⁸The destroyer^(Q) will come against every town,
    and not a town will escape.
The valley will be ruined
    and the plateau^(R) destroyed,
    because the Lord has spoken.
⁹Put salt^(S) on Moab,
    for she will be laid waste^[f];^(T)
her towns will become desolate,
    with no one to live in them.

¹⁰“A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work!
A curse on anyone who keeps their sword^(U) from bloodshed!^(V)

¹¹“Moab has been at rest^(W) from youth,
    like wine left on its dregs,^(X)
not poured from one jar to another—
    she has not gone into exile.
So she tastes as she did,
    and her aroma is unchanged.
¹²But days are coming,”
    declares the Lord,
“when I will send men who pour from pitchers,
    and they will pour her out;
they will empty her pitchers
    and smash her jars.
¹³Then Moab will be ashamed^(Y) of Chemosh,^(Z)
    as Israel was ashamed
    when they trusted in Bethel.^(AA)

¹⁴“How can you say, ‘We are warriors,^(AB)
    men valiant in battle’?
¹⁵Moab will be destroyed and her towns invaded;
    her finest young men^(AC) will go down in the slaughter,^(AD)”
    declares the King,^(AE) whose name is the Lord Almighty.^(AF)
¹⁶“The fall of Moab is at hand;^(AG)
    her calamity will come quickly.
¹⁷Mourn for her, all who live around her,
    all who know her fame;^(AH)
say, ‘How broken is the mighty scepter,^(AI)
    how broken the glorious staff!’

¹⁸“Come down from your glory
    and sit on the parched ground,^(AJ)
    you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon,^(AK)
for the one who destroys Moab
    will come up against you
    and ruin your fortified cities.^(AL)
¹⁹Stand by the road and watch,
    you who live in Aroer.^(AM)
Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping,
    ask them, ‘What has happened?’
²⁰Moab is disgraced, for she is shattered.
    Wail^(AN) and cry out!
Announce by the Arnon^(AO)
    that Moab is destroyed.
²¹Judgment has come to the plateau^(AP)—
    to Holon,^(AQ) Jahzah^(AR) and Mephaath,^(AS)
²²    to Dibon,^(AT) Nebo^(AU) and Beth Diblathaim,
²³    to Kiriathaim,^(AV) Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,^(AW)
²⁴    to Kerioth^(AX) and Bozrah^(AY)—
    to all the towns^(AZ) of Moab, far and near.
²⁵Moab’s horn^[g]^(BA) is cut off;
    her arm^(BB) is broken,”
declares the Lord.

²⁶“Make her drunk,^(BC)
    for she has defied^(BD) the Lord.
Let Moab wallow in her vomit;^(BE)
    let her be an object of ridicule.^(BF)
²⁷Was not Israel the object of your ridicule?^(BG)
    Was she caught among thieves,^(BH)
that you shake your head^(BI) in scorn^(BJ)
    whenever you speak of her?
²⁸Abandon your towns and dwell among the rocks,
    you who live in Moab.
Be like a dove^(BK) that makes its nest
    at the mouth of a cave.^(BL)

²⁹“We have heard of Moab’s pride^(BM)—
    how great is her arrogance!—
of her insolence, her pride, her conceit
    and the haughtiness^(BN) of her heart.
³⁰I know her insolence but it is futile,”
declares the Lord,
    “and her boasts^(BO) accomplish nothing.
³¹Therefore I wail^(BP) over Moab,
    for all Moab I cry out,
    I moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.^(BQ)
³²I weep for you, as Jazer^(BR) weeps,
    you vines of Sibmah.^(BS)
Your branches spread as far as the sea^[h];
    they reached as far as^[i] Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen
    on your ripened fruit and grapes.
³³Joy and gladness are gone
    from the orchards and fields of Moab.
I have stopped the flow of wine^(BT) from the presses;
    no one treads them with shouts of joy.^(BU)
Although there are shouts,
    they are not shouts of joy.

³⁴“The sound of their cry rises
    from Heshbon^(BV) to Elealeh^(BW) and Jahaz,^(BX)
from Zoar^(BY) as far as Horonaim^(BZ) and Eglath Shelishiyah,
    for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.^(CA)
³⁵In Moab I will put an end
    to those who make offerings on the high places^(CB)
    and burn incense^(CC) to their gods,”
declares the Lord.
³⁶“So my heart laments^(CD) for Moab like the music of a pipe;
    it laments like a pipe for the people of Kir Hareseth.^(CE)
    The wealth they acquired^(CF) is gone.
³⁷Every head is shaved^(CG)
    and every beard^(CH) cut off;
every hand is slashed
    and every waist is covered with sackcloth.^(CI)
³⁸On all the roofs in Moab
    and in the public squares^(CJ)
there is nothing but mourning,
    for I have broken Moab
    like a jar^(CK) that no one wants,”
declares the Lord.
³⁹“How shattered^(CL) she is! How they wail!
    How Moab turns her back in shame!
Moab has become an object of ridicule,^(CM)
    an object of horror to all those around her.”

⁴⁰This is what the Lord says:

“Look! An eagle is swooping^(CN) down,
    spreading its wings^(CO) over Moab.
⁴¹Kerioth^[j]^(CP) will be captured
    and the strongholds taken.
In that day the hearts of Moab’s warriors^(CQ)
    will be like the heart of a woman in labor.^(CR)
⁴²Moab will be destroyed^(CS) as a nation^(CT)
    because she defied^(CU) the Lord.
⁴³Terror^(CV) and pit and snare^(CW) await you,
    you people of Moab,”
declares the Lord.
⁴⁴“Whoever flees^(CX) from the terror
    will fall into a pit,
whoever climbs out of the pit
    will be caught in a snare;
for I will bring on Moab
    the year^(CY) of her punishment,”
declares the Lord.

⁴⁵“In the shadow of Heshbon
    the fugitives stand helpless,
for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
    a blaze from the midst of Sihon;^(CZ)
it burns the foreheads of Moab,
    the skulls^(DA) of the noisy boasters.
⁴⁶Woe to you, Moab!^(DB)
    The people of Chemosh are destroyed;
your sons are taken into exile
    and your daughters into captivity.

⁴⁷“Yet I will restore^(DC) the fortunes of Moab
in days to come,”
declares the Lord.

Here ends the judgment on Moab.

Romans 10

New International Version

10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire^(A) and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. ²For I can testify about them that they are zealous^(B) for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. ³Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.^(C) ⁴Christ is the culmination of the law^(D) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.^(E)

⁵Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”^[a]^(F) ⁶But the righteousness that is by faith^(G) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”^[b]^(H) (that is, to bring Christ down) ⁷“or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”^[c]^(I) (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).^(J) ⁸But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”^[d]^(K) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: ⁹If you declare^(L) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”^(M) and believe^(N) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,^(O) you will be saved.^(P) ¹⁰For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. ¹¹As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”^[e]^(Q) ¹²For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile^(R)—the same Lord is Lord of all^(S) and richly blesses all who call on him, ¹³for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord^(T) will be saved.”^[f]^(U)

¹⁴How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? ¹⁵And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”^[g]^(V)

¹⁶But not all the Israelites accepted the good news.^(W) For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”^[h]^(X) ¹⁷Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message,^(Y) and the message is heard through the word about Christ.^(Z) ¹⁸But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:

“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.”^[i]^(AA)

¹⁹Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

“I will make you envious^(AB) by those who are not a nation;
I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”^[j]^(AC)

²⁰And Isaiah boldly says,

“I was found by those who did not seek me;
I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”^[k]^(AD)

²¹But concerning Israel he says,

“All day long I have held out my hands
to a disobedient and obstinate people.”^[l]^(AE)
