2 ¶ Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had said unto me; and we went around Mount Seir many days
2 until the LORD spoke unto me, saying,
3 Ye have gone around this mountain long enough; return unto the Aquilon.
4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren, the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you; take care unto yourselves, therefore;
5 do not seek a fight with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth because I have given Mount Seir unto Esau for an inheritance.
6 Ye shall buy food from them for money that ye may eat, and ye shall also buy water from them for money that ye may drink.
7 For the LORD thy God has blessed thee in all the works of thy hand; he knows thy walking through this great wilderness; these forty years the LORD thy God has been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
8 ¶ And when we passed by our brethren, the sons of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give thee of their land for a possession because I have given Ar unto the sons of Lot for an inheritance.
10 (The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many and tall as the Anakims,
11 which also were accounted giants as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir before time, but the sons of Esau inherited from them, and they destroyed them from before them and dwelt in their stead as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.)
13 Now rise up, said I, and pass the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
14 And the days in which we came from Kadeshbarnea until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty-eight years until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the camp, as the LORD swore unto them.
15 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the camp until they were consumed.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people
17 that the LORD spoke unto me, saying,
18 Thou art to pass the border of Moab today unto Ar,
19 and when thou comest near over against the sons of Ammon, do not distress them nor meddle with them, for I will not give thee of the land of the sons of Ammon any possession because I have given it unto the sons of Lot for an inheritance.
20 (That also was accounted a land of giants; giants dwelt therein in another time, and the Ammonites called them Zamzummims,
21 a people great and many and tall as the Anakims; whom the LORD destroyed before the Ammonites; and they inherited from them and dwelt in their stead,
22 as he did to the sons of Esau who dwelt in Seir when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they inherited from them and dwelt in their stead even unto this day.
23 And the Avims who dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Gaza, the Caphtorims, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them and dwelt in their stead.)
24 ¶ Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass the river Arnon; behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon, the Amorite king of Heshbon, and his land; begin, take possession and contend with him in battle.
25 This day I will begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble and be in anguish because of thee.
26 And I sent ambassadors out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,
27 Let me pass through thy land; I will go along by the high way; I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
28 Thou shalt sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink; I will only pass through on my feet
29 (as the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites, who dwell in Ar, did unto me) until I shall pass the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us.
30 But Sihon, king of Heshbon, would not let us pass by him, for the LORD thy God had hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate that he might deliver him into thy hand as until this day.
31 And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee; begin, take possession that thou may inherit his land.
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 But the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him and his sons and all his people.
34 And we took all his cities at that time and utterly destroyed all the cities, the men and the women and the little ones; we left none to remain.
35 We took only the beasts for a prey unto ourselves and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river even unto Gilead, there was not one city escaped us; the LORD our God delivered all of them before us.
37 Only unto the land of the sons of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto any place that the LORD our God forbade us.
A Song or Psalm of Asaph.
1 ¶ Do not keep silence, O God; do not hold thy peace, and do not be still, O God.
2 For, behold, thine enemies make a tumult, and those that hate thee have lifted up their head.
3 They have taken prudent counsel in secret against thy people and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come and let us cut them off from being a people that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 Therefore they have consulted together with one consent; they are confederate against thee:
6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; of Moab and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assur also is joined with them: they are an arm unto the sons of Lot. Selah.
9 ¶ Do unto them as unto the Midianites, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison,
10 who perished at Endor; they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make them and their captains like Oreb and like Zeeb; all their princes as Zebah and as Zalmunna:
12 Who have said, Let us inherit for ourselves the habitations of God.
13 O my God, make them like a whirlwind, as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burns a wood and as the flame sets the mountains on fire
15 so persecute them with thy tempest and make them afraid with thy whirlwind.
16 Fill their faces with shame that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; let them be put to shame and perish
18 That they may know that thou, whose name alone is LORD, art the most high over all the earth.
To the Overcomer upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1 ¶ How amiable are thy habitations, O LORD of the hosts!
2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing to the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a house and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young upon thine altars, O LORD of the hosts, my King and my God.
4 Happy are those that dwell in thy house; they shall continually praise thee. Selah.
5 Happy is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are thy ways,
6 who passing through the valley of Baca, shall make it a well; the rain also shall fill the pools.
7 They go forth in a great multitude; and in order, they shall see God in Zion.
8 ¶ O LORD God of the hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield and look upon the face of thine anointed,
10 for a day in thy courts is better than a thousand outside of them. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield unto us; the LORD will give grace and glory; he will not withhold good from those that walk uprightly.
12 O LORD of the hosts, happy is the man that trusts in thee.
30 ¶ Woe to the sons that leave, saith the LORD, to make counsel, but not of me; to cover themselves with a covering, and not by my spirit, adding sin unto sin!
2 They leave to descend into Egypt and have not asked for a word from my mouth, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh and to place their hope in the shadow of Egypt.
3 But the strength of Pharaoh shall become your shame, and the hope in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 When his princes shall be in Zoan, and his ambassadors have come to Hanes,
5 all shall be ashamed of the people that shall not profit them, nor be a help, nor bring them increase, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent; they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose; therefore I have cried out concerning this that your strength should be to sit still.
8 ¶ Now go, write this vision before them on a tablet and note it in a book that it may remain unto the last day, for ever, unto all ages.
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying sons, sons that did not desire to hear the law of the LORD:
10 Who say to those that see, See not; and to the prophets, Do not prophesy right things unto us, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to leave our presence.
12 Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in violence and perversity and build upon this:
13 Therefore this sin shall be to you as an open wall ready to fall and as a breach in a high defence, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
14 And your destruction shall be as the breaking of a potter’s vessel that without mercy is broken to pieces so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it even a shard to take fire from the hearth or to take water from the well.
15 For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel has said; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be even more swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five ye shall all flee: until ye are left as a mast upon the top of a mountain and as a banner of example on a hill.
18 ¶ And therefore will the LORD wait for you, that he may have mercy on you, and therefore will he be exalted having mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all those that wait for him.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion, in Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he who has mercy shall show mercy unto thee; at the voice of thy cry when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
20 But the Lord shall give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction; thy rain shall never more be taken away, but thine eyes shall see thy rain:
21 Then thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, that ye not turn to the right hand and that ye not turn to the left hand.
22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver and the protection of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Go away from here.
23 Then he shall give the rain unto thy planting when thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the fruit of the earth, and it shall be fat and fertile: in that day thy cattle shall feed in large pastures.
24 Thine oxen and thine asses that work the ground shall eat clean grain, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers shall fall.
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the breach of his people and heals the stroke of their wound.
27 ¶ Behold, the name of the LORD comes from afar; his face is blazing and difficult to gaze upon: his lips are full of indignation and his tongue as a devouring fire:
28 And his Spirit, as an overflowing stream, shall break even unto the neck to sift the Gentiles with the sieve of vanity and to put a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night in which the Passover is kept and gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute to come into the mountain of the LORD to the mighty One of Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause the power of his voice to be heard and shall cause the lighting down of his arm to be seen, with the indignation of his countenance and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering and tempest and hailstones.
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32 And in every evil place there shall be a staff that the LORD shall cause to lay upon him with tambourines and harps: and with the strength of heaven he will fight against her.
33 For Tophet is ordained of yesterday for the king of Babylon, it is also prepared; he has deepened and enlarged the pile of her fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD like a stream of brimstone kindles it.
1 ¶ Jude, slave of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those that are called, sanctified in God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:
2 Mercy and peace and charity be multiplied unto you.
3 ¶ Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that ye should earnestly persevere in the faith which was given once unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares without fear or reverence of God, who from beforehand have been ordained unto this condemnation, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying God who alone has dominion, and our Lord Jesus, the Christ.
5 I will, therefore, remind you, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those that did not believe.
6 And the angels who did not keep their first estate but left their own habitation, he has reserved in eternal chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication and going after strange flesh, were set forth for an example, having received the judgment of eternal fire.
8 ¶ In the same manner these deceived dreamers, defile their flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of higher powers.
9 Yet when Michael, the archangel, contended with the devil, disputing over the body of Moses, he dared not bring against him a curse of judgment, but said, The Lord reprehend thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they do not know; but what they know by nature as animals without reason, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your banquets of charity, feeding themselves without any fear whatsoever: clouds without water, carried to and fro of the winds; trees withered as in fall, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own abominations; erratic stars, to whom is reserved gross darkness eternally.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints
15 ¶ to execute judgment upon all and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have unfaithfully committed and of all the hard words which the unfaithful sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own desires; and their mouth speaks arrogant things, admiring persons to take advantage.
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 how that they told you, That in the last time there would be mockers, who would walk after their own ungodly desires.
19 These are those who make divisions, and are as animals, not having the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life,
22 And receive some with mercy, discerning;
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
24 Now unto him that is powerful to keep you without sin and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, now and in all the ages. Amen.
