14 Then all the Congregation lifted up their voice and cried. And the people wept that night.
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. And the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness. If only we were dead.
3 “Why has the LORD brought us into this land to fall upon the sword now? Our wives and our children shall be a prey. Would it not be better for us to return into Egypt?”
4 And they said to one another, “Let us make a captain and return into Egypt.”
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the Congregation of the children of Israel.
6 And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh (two of them who searched the land), tore their clothes
7 and spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, saying, “The land through which we walked to search is a very good land!
8 “If the LORD loves us, He will bring us into this land and give it to us. It is a land that flows with milk and honey!
9 “But do not rebel against the LORD or fear the people of the land. For they are as bread to us! Their shield has departed from them; and the LORD is with us! Do not fear them!”
10 And all the multitude said, “Stone them with stones!” But the Glory of the LORD appeared in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before all the children of Israel.
11 And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people provoke Me? And how long will it be before they believe Me, with all the signs which I have shown among them?
12 “I will strike them with the pestilence and destroy them and will make you a greater and mightier nation than they.”
13 But Moses said to the LORD, “When the Egyptians shall hear it (for You brought this people by Your power from among them),
14 “then they shall say to the inhabitants of the land (for they have heard that You, LORD, are among this people, and that You, LORD, are seen face to face, and that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them, by daytime in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night)
15 “that You will kill this people as one man. So, the heathen which have heard the fame of You, shall then say,
16 ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which He swore to them, therefore He has killed them in the wilderness.’
17 “And now, I beg you, let the power of my LORD be great, as You have spoken, saying,
18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger and of great mercy and forgiving iniquity and sin, but not making the wicked innocent and visiting the wickedness of the fathers upon the children in the third and fourth generation.’
19 “Be merciful, I beg You, to the iniquity of this people, according to Your great mercy and as You have forgiven this people from Egypt even until now.”
20 And the LORD said, “I have forgiven it, according to your request.
21 “Nevertheless, as I live, all the Earth shall be filled with the Glory of the LORD.
22 “For all those men who have seen My Glory and My miracles which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness and have tempted Me these ten times and have not obeyed My Voice,
23 “certainly they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers. Nor shall any who provoke Me see it.
24 “But My servant, Caleb, because he had another spirit and has followed Me still, him will I bring into the land where he went. And his seed shall inherit it.
25 “Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites remain in the valley. Turn tomorrow and go into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”
26 Afterward, the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
27 “How long shall I allow this wicked multitude to murmur against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against Me.
28 “Tell them, ‘As I live (says the LORD) I will surely do to you just as you have spoken in My Ears.
29 ‘Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness, all you who were counted through all your numbers—from twenty years old and above—who have murmured against Me.
30 ‘Except for Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, you shall doubtless not come into the land for which I lifted up My Hand to make you dwell in.
31 ‘But your children, which you said should be a prey, them I will bring in. And they shall know the land which you have refused.
32 ‘But even your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.
33 ‘And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years and shall bear your whoredoms until your carcasses are wasted in the wilderness.
34 ‘After the number of the days in which you searched out the land—forty days—for every day you shall bear your iniquity one year. For forty years you shall feel My breach of promise.
35 ‘I the LORD have said, “Certainly I will do so to all this wicked company who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed. And there they shall die.
36 “And the men whom Moses had sent to search the land (who, when they came back, made all the people murmur against him, and brought up a slander upon the land),
37 “even those men who brought up that vile slander upon the land, shall die by a plague before the LORD.
38 “But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, of those men who went to search the land, shall live.”’”
39 Then Moses told these sayings to all the children of Israel. And the people sorrowed greatly.
40 And they rose up early in the morning and went up into the top of the mountain, saying, “Lo, we are ready to go up to the place which the LORD has promised. For we have sinned.”
41 But Moses said, “Why do you transgress the Commandment of the LORD? It will not go well.
42 “Do not go up, (for the LORD is not among you) lest you be overthrown before your enemies.
43 “For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you. And you shall fall by the sword. For inasmuch as you are turned away from the LORD, the LORD will also not be with you.”
44 Yet they obstinately presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. But the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, and Moses, did not depart out of the camp.
45 Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt in that mountain came down and struck them and beat them back to Hormah.
50 The God of gods, The LORD, has spoken and called the Earth, from the rising up of the Sun to the going down thereof.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, has God shined.
3 Our God shall come and shall not keep silent. A fire shall devour before Him, and a mighty storm shall be moved around Him.
4 He shall call the heaven above and the Earth, to judge His people.
5 “Gather My saints together to Me, those who make a covenant with Me with sacrifice.”
6 And the heavens shall declare His righteousness; for God is Judge Himself. Selah.
7 “Hear, O My people, and I will speak. Hear, O Israel, and I will testify to you. I am God. Your God.
8 “I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings continually before me.
9 “I will take no bullock out of your house, nor goats out of your folds.
10 “For all the beasts of the forest are Mine, the beasts on a thousand mountains.
11 “I know all the birds on the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
12 “If I am hungry, I will not tell you. For the world is Mine and all that therein is.
13 “Will I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
14 “Offer praise to God; and pay your vows to the Most High.
15 “And call upon Me on the day of trouble. I will deliver you and you shall glorify Me.”
16 But to the wicked God said, “Why have you declared My ordinances, that you would take My Covenant in your mouth,
17 “seeing you hate to be reformed and have cast My words behind you?
18 “For when you see a thief, you run with him; and you are partaker with the adulterers.
19 “You give your mouth to evil; and with your tongue you forge deceit.
20 “You sit and speak against your brother and slander your mother’s son.
21 “These things you have done; and I held My tongue. Therefore, you thought that I was like you. But I will rebuke you and set them in order before your eyes.
22 “Oh, consider this, you who forget God; lest I tear you in pieces and there are none who can deliver you.
23 “He who offers praise shall glorify Me. And to him who sets his way aright, I will show the salvation of God.” To him who excels: A Psalm of David, when the Prophet Nathan came to him, after he had gone into Bathsheba.
3 For lo, the LORD God of Hosts will take away from Jerusalem, and from Judah, the support and the strength, all the supply of bread, and all the supply of water,
2 the strong man and the man of war, the judge and the Prophet, the diviners and the aged,
3 the Captain of Fifty and the honorable and the counselor and the skilled craftsman and expert whisperer.
4 And I will appoint children to be their princes. And tyrants shall rule over them.
5 The people shall be oppressed by one another, and everyone by his neighbor. The children shall be insolent toward the aged, and the vile toward the honorable.
6 When everyone shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, and say, “You have clothing. You shall be our prince. And let this fall be under your hand.”
7 On that day he shall swear, saying, “I cannot be a helper. For there is neither bread in my house nor clothing. Make me no prince of the people.”
8 Doubtless, Jerusalem has fallen and Judah has fallen down, because their tongue and works are against the LORD, to provoke the Eyes of His Glory.
9 The look on their face testifies against them. Yea, they declare their sins. As Sodom, they do not hide them. Woe to their souls! For they have rewarded evil to themselves.
10 Say, “Surely it shall be well with the just. For they shall eat the fruit of their works.
11 “Woe be to the wicked! It shall be evil with him. For the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 “Children are extortioners of my people. And women have rule over them. O, my people! Those who lead you cause you to err and destroy the way of your paths.”
13 The LORD stands up to plead. Yea, He stands to judge the people.
14 The LORD shall enter into judgment with the ancients of His people and their princes. “For you have eaten up the vineyard. The spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 “What do you mean by beating My people to pieces and grinding the faces of the poor?” says the LORD, the LORD of Hosts.
16 The LORD also says, “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks, and with wandering eyes, walking and skipping as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet,
17 “therefore the LORD shall make the heads of the daughters of Zion bald. And the LORD shall uncover their secret parts.
18 “On that day, the LORD shall take away the beauty of the anklets and the headbands and the crescent ornaments
19 “the pendants and the bracelets and the veils
20 “the headdresses and the leg ornaments and the sashes and the tablets, and the earrings
21 “the rings and the nose jewels
22 “the costly apparel and the overtunics and the cloaks and the purses
23 “and the glasses and the fine linen and the turbans and the large veils.
24 “And instead of sweet savor, there shall be stink. And instead of a girdle, a rope. And instead of dressing the hair, baldness. And instead of a robe, a belt of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
25 “Your men shall fall by the sword, and your strength in the battle.
26 “Then shall her gates mourn and lament. And she, being desolate, shall sit upon the ground.”
4 And on that day, seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, “We will eat our own bread and we will wear our own clothes. Only, let us be called by your name. Take away our reproach.”
2 On that day, the Branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious. And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and pleasant for those of Israel who have escaped.
3 Then he who shall be left in Zion, and he who shall remain in Jerusalem, shall be called holy. Everyone in Jerusalem shall be written among the living
4 when the LORD shall wash the filthiness of the daughters of Zion and purge the blood of Jerusalem out of its midst by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning.
5 And the LORD shall create upon every place of Mount Zion, and upon its assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For upon all the Glory shall be a defense.
6 And a covering shall be for shade from the heat during the day, and a place of refuge and a shelter from the storm and from the rain.
11 Now faith is the confidence of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it our elders were given a good report.
3 Through faith, we understand that the world was ordained by the Word of God, so that the things which we see are not made of things which are visible.
4 By faith, Abel offered a greater sacrifice to God than Cain - by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts - also by which he, being dead, still speaks.
5 By faith, Enoch was translated, so that he would not see death. Nor was he found. For God had taken him away. For before he was transformed, it was reported of him that he had pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him. He who comes to God must believe that God is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
7 By faith, Noah being warned by God of the things which were as yet not seen, moved with reverence, prepared the Ark to the saving of his household (through which He condemned the world), and was made heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out into a place which he would receive for inheritance afterward. And he went out, not knowing where he went.
9 By faith, he dwelt in the Land of Promise - as in a strange country - living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.
10 For he awaited a city having a foundation whose Builder and Maker is God.
11 Through faith, Sarah also received strength to conceive seed and delivered a child when she was past age, because she judged Him Who had promised faithful.
12 And therefore, even from one who was as good as dead, there sprang so many; as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand of the seashore, which is innumerable.
13 All these died in faith and did not receive the promises. But they saw them at a distance and believed, and received thankfully, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the Earth.
14 For those who say such things, plainly declare that they seek a country.
15 And if they had been mindful of from where they had come, they had opportunity to return.
16 But now they desire a better (that is, a heavenly). Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God. For He has prepared a city for them.
17 By faith, Abraham - when he was tried - offered up Isaac. And he who had received the promises offered his only begotten son
18 (to whom it was said, “In Isaac shall your seed be called.”)
19 For he considered that God was able to raise him up - even from the dead - from where He received him also, figuratively.
20 By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 By faith, Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph worshipping at the end of his staff.
22 By faith, Joseph, when he died, mentioned the departing of the children of Israel and gave commandment about his bones.
23 By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw he was a beautiful child. Nor did they fear the king’s commandment.
24 By faith, Moses, when he had come to age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter
25 and chose to suffer adversity with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.
26 He esteemed the rebuke of Christ to be greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he looked toward the reward.
27 By faith, he left Egypt and did not fear the fierceness of the king. For he endured, as he who saw Him Who is invisible.
28 Through faith, he ordained the Passover and the effusion of blood, so that He who destroyed the first born would not touch them.
29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land (in which the Egyptians, when they had tried to do so, were swallowed up).
30 By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down after they were surrounded for seven days.
31 By faith, the prostitute Rahab, when she had received the spies peaceably, did not perish with those who disobeyed.
32 And what more shall I say? For the time would be too short for me to tell of Gideon, of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah, also of David, and Samuel, and of the Prophets;
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained the promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, made the weak strong, became valiant in battle, turned the armies of the aliens to flight.
35 The women received their dead raised to life again. Also, others were tortured and refused deliverance so that they might receive a better resurrection.
36 And others have been tried by mockings and scourgings, and moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
37 They were stoned. They were sawn in two. They were tempted. They were killed with the sword. They wandered up and down in sheep’s skins, and in goats’ skins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented.
38 Those of whom the world was not worthy wandered in wildernesses and mountains, and dens, and caves of the Earth.
39 And through faith, these all obtained a good report. And yet, they did not receive the promise;
40 God providing a better thing for us, so that they would not be made perfect apart from us.
