19 And the LORD spoke to Moses, and to Aaron, saying,
2 “This is the Ordinance of the Law, which the LORD has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel so that they bring you a red cow, without blemish, in which is no spot, upon which never came yoke.
3 ‘And you shall give her to Eleazar the Priest, so that he may bring her outside the camp and cause her to be killed before his face.
4 ‘Then, Eleazar the Priest shall take some of her blood with his finger and sprinkle it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation seven times,
5 ‘and cause the cow to be burnt in his sight. He shall burn her with her skin and her flesh and her blood and her dung.
6 ‘Then the Priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet lace and cast them in the midst of the fire where the cow burns.
7 ‘Then the Priest shall wash his clothes; and he shall wash his flesh in water and then come into the camp. And the Priest shall be unclean until the evening.
8 ‘Also, he who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and wash his flesh in water, and be unclean until evening.
9 ‘And a clean man shall take up the ashes of the cow and put them outside the camp in a clean place. And it shall be kept for the Congregation of the children of Israel for a sprinkling water. It is a Sin Offering.
10 ‘Therefore, he who gathers the ashes of the cow shall wash his clothes and remain unclean until evening. And it shall be a Statute, forever, to the children of Israel and to the stranger who dwells among them.
11 ‘He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean for seven days.
12 ‘He shall purify himself with the water on the third day; and the seventh day he shall be clean. But, if he does not purify himself on the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
13 ‘Whoever touches the corpse of any man who is dead, and does not purge himself, defiles the Tabernacle of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from Israel, because the sprinkling water was not sprinkled upon him. He shall be unclean; and his uncleanness shall remain upon him.
14 ‘This is the Law: When a man dies in a tent, all who come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean for seven days.
15 ‘And all the vessels that are open, which have no covering fastened upon them, shall be unclean.
16 ‘Also, whoever touches one who is killed with a sword in the field, or a dead person, or a bone of a dead man, or a grave, shall be unclean for seven days.
17 ‘Therefore, for an unclean person, they shall take from the burnt ashes of the Sin Offering; and pure water shall be put on them in a vessel.
18 ‘And a clean person shall take hyssop and dip it in the water and sprinkle it upon the tent and upon all the vessels and on the people who were inside, and upon him who touched the bone, or the killed, or the dead, or the grave.
19 ‘And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day and the seventh day. And he shall purify himself on the seventh day, and wash his clothes, and wash himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.
20 ‘But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person shall be cut off from among the Congregation, because he has defiled the Sanctuary of the LORD; and the sprinkling water has not been sprinkled upon him. He shall be unclean.
21 ‘And it shall be a perpetual Law to them, that he who sprinkles the sprinkling water shall wash his clothes and he who touches the sprinkling water shall be unclean until evening.
22 ‘And whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean. And the person who touches him shall be unclean until the evening.’”
56 Be merciful to me, O God; for man desires to swallow me up. He fights continually and troubles me.
2 My enemies would swallow me up daily; for many fight against me, O You Most High.
3 When I was afraid, I trusted in You.
4 I will rejoice in God because of His Word. I trust in God and will not fear what flesh can do to me.
5 My own words grieve me daily. All their thoughts are against me, to do me hurt.
6 They gather together and keep themselves close. They mark my steps because they wait for my soul.
7 They think they shall escape by iniquity. O God, cast these people down in Your anger.
8 You have counted my wanderings. Put my tears into Your bottle. Are they not in Your register?
9 When I cry, then my enemies shall turn back. This I know; for God is with me.
10 I will rejoice in God because of His Word. I will rejoice in the LORD because of His Word.
11 In God do I trust. I will not be afraid what man can do to me.
12 Your vows are upon me, O God. I will render praises to You.
13 For You have delivered my soul from death—and also my feet from falling—so that I may walk before God in the light of the living. To him who excels: Do not destroy. A Psalm of David, on Michtam, when he fled from Saul in the cave
57 Have mercy upon me, O God. Have mercy upon me, for my soul trusts in You, and in the shadow of Your wings I will trust till afflictions pass over.
2 I will call to the Most High God, the God Who performs toward me.
3 He will send from Heaven and save me from the reproof of him who would swallow me. Selah. God will send His mercy and His truth.
4 My soul is among lions; I lie among the children of men, who are set on fire; whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Exalt Yourself, O God, above the heaven. Let Your Glory be upon all the Earth.
6 They have laid a net for my steps. My soul is pressed down; they have dug a pit before me and have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.
7 My heart is prepared, O God. My heart is prepared. I will sing and give praise!
8 Awake, my tongue! Awake, viol and harp! I will awake early!
9 I will praise You, O LORD, among the people. I will sing to You among the nations.
10 For Your mercy is great unto the heavens; Your Truth unto the clouds!
11 Exalt Yourself, O God, above the heavens! Let Your Glory be upon all the Earth! To him who excels: Do not destroy. A Psalm of David, on Michtam
8 Moreover, the LORD said to me, “Take a great scroll and write with a man’s pen: ‘Make speed to the spoil. Hurry to the prey.’”
2 Then I took to myself faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the Priest and Zechariah, the son of Jeberechiah.
3 Afterward, I went in to the Prophetess, who conceived and bore a son. Then the LORD said to me, “Call his name, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
4 “For before the child shall have knowledge to cry ‘My father and my mother’, he shall take away the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria, before the king of Assyria.”
5 And the LORD spoke yet again to me, saying,
6 “Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah (which run softly) and rejoice with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
7 “now, therefore, behold, the LORD brings up the waters of the river upon them, mighty and great. And the king of Assyria, with all his glory, shall come up upon all their rivers and go over all their banks,
8 “and shall break into Judah, shall overflow and pass through, shall come up to the neck. And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.
9 “Gather together on heaps, O you people, and you shall be broken in pieces! And listen, all you from far countries! Gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces! Gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces!”
10 Take counsel together, but it shall be brought to nothing. Pronounce a decree, but it shall not stand. For God is with us.
11 For the LORD spoke this to me, in the taking of my hand, and taught me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy’ to all that which this people says is conspiracy, or fear their fear or be afraid of them.
13 “Sanctify the LORD of Hosts and let Him be your fear. And let Him be your dread.
14 “And He shall be a Sanctuary; but as a stumbling stone to both the Houses of Israel, and as a rock to fall upon, and as a snare, and as a net to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 “And many among them shall stumble, and shall fall, and shall be broken, and shall be snared, and shall be taken.
16 “Bind up the Testimony. Seal up the Law among My disciples.”
17 Therefore, I will wait upon the LORD, Who has hidden His Face from the House of Jacob. And I will look for Him.
18 Behold, I, and the children whom the LORD has given me, are as signs and as wonders in Israel, by the LORD of Hosts, Who dwells on Mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say to you, “Inquire of those who have a spirit of divination and of the soothsayers who whisper and murmur”, should not a people inquire of their God, rather than the living of the dead?
20 Inquire of the Law and of the Testimony. If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them.
21 Then those who are afflicted and famished shall wander to and fro. And when they become hungry, they shall be enraged and curse their king and his gods and shall look upward.
22 And when they shall look to the earth, they shall behold trouble and darkness, vexation and anguish, and shall be driven to wickedness.
9 Yet, the gloom shall not be as the affliction was at first, when He lightly touched the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, nor afterward when he was more grievous by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the Gentiles.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great Light. Those who dwelled in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the Light shined.
3 You have multiplied the nation, not increased joy. Men rejoice when they divide a spoil.
4 For You have broken the yoke of their burden, and the staff of their shoulder, and the rod of their oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 Surely every battle of the warrior is with noise, and with tumbling of garments in blood. But this shall be with burning and devouring of fire.
6 For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given. And the government is upon His shoulder. And His Name shall be called: Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 The increase of His dominion and peace shall have no end. He shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment, and with justice, from henceforth, forever. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will perform this.
2 My brothers, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with favoritism.
2 For if a man with a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly. And then, also, a poor man in rags comes in—
3 and you have respect for the one wearing the fine clothing, saying to him, “Sit here in a good place”, yet you say to the poor, “Stand over there”, or “Sit here under my footstool” —
4 are you not partial among yourselves, becoming judges of evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my beloved brothers. Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?
6 But you have despised the poor. Do not the rich oppress you by tyranny? And do they not draw you before the judgment seats?
7 Do they not blaspheme the worthy Name after which you are named?
8 But if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”, you do well.
9 But if you show favoritism, you commit sin and are rebuked by the Law as transgressors.
10 For whoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet fails in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For He Who said, “You shall not commit adultery”, also said, “You shall not kill”. Now, though you do no adultery, if you kill you are still a transgressor of the Law.
12 So speak and so do as those who shall be judged by the Law of liberty.
13 For there shall be merciless condemnation for the one who does not show mercy. And mercy rejoices against condemnation.
14 What profit is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but has no works? Can faith save him?
15 For if a brother or a sister is naked and without daily food,
16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace. Warm yourselves and fill your bellies”, what help is it if you don’t give them those things which the body needs?
17 Even so, faith - if it has no works - is dead by itself.
18 But someone might say, “You have faith, and I have works”. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. The demons also believe it, and tremble.
20 But will you understand, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not our father Abraham justified through works when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar?
22 Do you not see that faith worked with his works? And through works was faith made perfect?
23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness”. And he was called the friend of God.
24 You see then how a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified through works when she had received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.
