23 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, The feasts of the LORD, unto which ye shall make a general convocation of all the people, these shall be my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day shall be a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein; it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4 ¶ These are the feasts of the LORD, the holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed times.
5 On the fourteenth of the first month between the two evenings is the LORD’s passover.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD; seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7 The first day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work therein.
8 And ye shall offer an offering on fire unto the LORD seven days; the seventh day shall be a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work therein.
9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When ye have entered into the land which I give unto you and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest;
11 and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD that ye shall be accepted; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf a he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
13 And the present thereof shall be two-tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil in an offering on fire unto the LORD for an acceptable aroma; and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor green ears until this same day until ye have offered the offering of your God; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your ages in all your dwellings.
15 ¶ And ye shall count unto you from the day after the sabbath, from the day that ye offered the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete;
16 unto the day after the seventh sabbath, ye shall number fifty days; then ye shall offer a new present unto the LORD.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two-tenth deals; they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with leaven, they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year and one young bullock and two rams; they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their presents and their drink offerings in an offering on fire, of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD.
19 Then ye shall also sacrifice one he goat as the sin and two lambs of the first year as a sacrifice of peace.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs; they shall be holiness of the LORD for the priest.
21 And ye shall be summoned on that same day; it shall be a holy convocation unto you; ye shall do no servile work: a perpetual statute in all your dwellings throughout your ages.
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I AM your God.
23 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month in the first day of the month, ye shall have a rest, an alarm for a reminder, and a holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein; but ye shall offer an offering on fire unto the LORD.
26 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
27 But the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of reconciliations; it shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls and offer an offering made on fire unto the LORD.
28 And ye shall do no work in this same day; for it is a day of reconciliations, to reconcile you before the LORD your God.
29 For every person that shall not afflict themselves in that same day, shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And any person that does any work in that same day, the same person will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your ages in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of sabbaths, and ye shall afflict your souls, beginning in the ninth day of the month in the evening, from evening unto evening, shall ye rest on your sabbath.
33 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
34 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles unto the LORD for seven days.
35 The first day shall be a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering on fire unto the LORD; the eighth day ye shall have a holy convocation and offer an offering on fire unto the LORD; it is a feast; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the LORD, unto which ye shall be summoned: holy convocations to offer an offering on fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering and a present, a sacrifice and drink offerings, every thing in its proper time;
38 in addition the sabbaths of the LORD and in addition to your gifts and in addition to all your vows, and in addition to all your freewill offerings, which ye shall give unto the LORD.
39 But in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days; the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall also be a sabbath.
40 And on the first day ye shall take branches with fruit of a beautiful tree, palm branches and the boughs of thick trees and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
41 And ye shall keep this feast unto the LORD for seven days each year. It shall be a perpetual statute for your ages; ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 Ye shall dwell in tabernacles seven days; all that are natural of Israel shall dwell in booths,
43 that your descendants may know that I made the sons of Israel to dwell in tabernacles when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I AM your God.
44 Thus Moses declared unto the sons of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
1 ¶ I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; thou gavest me life from my descent into the grave.
4 Let his merciful ones sing unto the LORD, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endures but a moment; in his will is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 ¶ And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I will cry unto thee, O GOD; and unto the Lord will I make supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?
10 Hear, O LORD and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness;
12 to the end that I may sing glory unto thee and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
6 ¶ There is another evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is very common among men:
2 A man to whom God has given riches, wealth, and honour so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but the strangers eat it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
3 If a man begets a hundred sons and lives many years so that the days of his years are many, if his soul is not filled with good and also that he have no burial; I say that an aborted birth is better than he.
4 For he came in vain and departs unto darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
5 Even though he has not seen the sun nor known any thing; this one has more rest than the other.
6 For though the other should live a thousand years twice and has not enjoyed good; both shall surely go to the same place.
7 ¶ All the labour of man is for his mouth, and with all this the appetite is not filled.
8 For what has the wise more than the fool? what more has the poor that knows how to walk among the living?
9 It is better to enjoy the good that is present than the wandering of desire; this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
10 He that is has been named already; and it is known that he is man and that he shall not be able to contend with him that is mightier than he.
11 ¶ Certainly the many words multiply vanity, what more does man have?
12 For who knows what is good for man in this life, all the days of the life of his vanity which he causes to be as a shadow? for who shall teach the man what shall be after him under the sun?
2 ¶ Thou, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou, therefore, work hard as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And also if anyone contends in public contest, he is not crowned, except he contends legitimately.
6 The husbandman, in order to receive the fruits, must first work hard.
7 Understand what I say, that the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.
8 ¶ Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead, according to my gospel,
9 in which I suffer trouble, like unto an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore, I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the saving health which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 This is a faithful word: That if we are dead with him, we shall also live with him;
12 if we suffer, we shall also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us;
13 if we are unfaithful, yet he remains faithful; he cannot deny himself.
14 ¶ Counsel these things, charging them before the Lord. Strive not in words that profit nothing, but rather subvert the hearers.
15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that has nothing to be ashamed of, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But avoid profane and vain wordiness, for it will develop into ungodliness.
17 And that word will eat away as gangrene, of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 who have erred from the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past and have overthrown the faith of some.
19 ¶ Nevertheless, the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows those that are his. And, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay, and likewise some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man, therefore, purges himself from these things, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and profitable for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 ¶ Flee also youthful lusts, but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with those that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unwise questions refuse, knowing that they do beget contentions.
24 That the slave of the Lord should not be contentious, but be meek unto everyone, apt to teach, patient,
25 that with meekness they might teach those that resist, if God peradventure will grant unto them that they might repent and know the truth,
26 and that they may become converted out of the snare of the devil, in which they are captive to do his will.
