15 ¶ Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song unto the LORD and spoke, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my saving health; he is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he has cast into the sea; his chosen princes also are drowned in the Red Sea.
5 The depths have covered them; they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power; thy right hand, O LORD, has dashed the enemy in pieces.
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown those that rose up against thee; thou didst send forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them. They sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, magnificent in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Thou didst stretch out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed; thou hast guided them in thy strength unto the habitation of thy holiness.
14 The peoples shall hear and be afraid; sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling, shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone, until thy people pass over, O LORD, until the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
17 Thou shalt bring them in and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place of thy dwelling which thou hast made ready, O LORD, in the Sanctuary of the Lord, which thy hands have established.
18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
19 For Pharaoh went in on horseback with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the sons of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
22 ¶ So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.
23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah.
24 Then the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which when he had cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There he gave them statutes and rights, and there he proved them
26 and said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God and wilt do that which is right in his sight and wilt give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the LORD thy Healer.
27 And they came to Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters.
18 ¶ And he spoke a parable unto them to this end, that it behooves us always to pray and not faint,
2 saying, There was in a city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man;
3 and there was a widow in that city, and she came unto him, saying, Defend me from my adversary.
4 And he would not for a while, but afterward he said within himself, Though I do not fear God, nor regard man,
5 yet because this widow troubles me, I will do her justice, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect who cry day and night unto him though he bears long regarding them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 ¶ And he spoke this parable unto some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are: extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast two meals every sabbath; I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God, reconcile me, a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for anyone that exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
15 ¶ And they brought unto him also infants that he would touch them; but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called them unto him and said, Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 ¶ And a certain prince asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why dost thou call me good? No one is good except one, that is, God.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said, All these things I have kept from my youth up.
22 Now when Jesus heard this, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How difficult it is for those that have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier to put a cable through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And those that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Then Peter said, Behold, we have left all and followed thee.
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no one that has left house or parents or brethren or wife or children for the kingdom of God’s sake
30 who shall not receive manifold more in this present time and in the age to come, eternal life.
31 ¶ Then he took unto him the twelve and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall be mocked and spitefully treated and spitted on;
33 and they shall scourge him and put him to death, but the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they did not know what was said.
35 ¶ And it came to pass that as he came near unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat beside the way begging,
36 and hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what this might be.
37 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passes by.
38 And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And those who went before rebuked him that he should remain silent; but he cried out so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought unto him, and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.
42 And Jesus said unto him, See; thy faith has saved thee.
43 And immediately he saw and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
33 ¶ Therefore, Job, hear now my reasons, and hearken to all my words.
2 Behold, now I shall open my mouth, my tongue shall speak in my mouth.
3 My reasons declare the uprightness of my heart; and my lips shall utter pure knowledge.
4 The Spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God’s stead; I also am formed out of the clay.
7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
8 ¶ Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
9 I am clean without rebellion, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Behold, God sought occasions against me, he counts me for his enemy,
11 he put my feet in the stocks, he guards all my paths.
12 Behold, in this thou art not just; I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
13 Why dost thou strive against him? For he will not answer all of thy words.
14 ¶ Nevertheless, in one or two manners God speaks to the one who does not see.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 then he opens the ears of men and seals their instruction,
17 that he may withdraw the man from his own work and cover the man from pride.
18 Thus he keeps back his soul from the pit and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 ¶ He is chastened also upon his bed with strong pain in all his bones,
20 so that his life abhors bread and his soul dainty food.
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22 His soul shall draw near to the grave, and his life to those that would bury him.
23 If there is a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness;
24 to tell him that God had mercy on him, that he delivered him from going down to the pit; that he found a ransom;
25 his flesh shall become more tender than a child’s; and he shall return to the days of his youth.
26 He shall pray unto God, and he will love him; and he shall see his face with shouts of joy; for he will render unto the man the recompense of his righteousness.
27 He looks upon men, and if any say, I have sinned and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me;
28 God will ransom his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29 ¶ Behold, God does all these things two and three times with man,
30 to turn back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Hear me, O Job, hearken unto me; be silent, and I will speak.
32 If thou hast anything to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify thee.
33 If not, hearken unto me; be silent, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
3 ¶ Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you?
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4 And such trust we have through the Christ towards God:
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God,
6 ¶ who also has made us able ministers of the new testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7 But if the ministry of death in the letter engraved in stones was glorious, so that the sons of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance which glory was to fade away,
8 How shall not the ministry of the Spirit be for greater glory?
9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, much more shall the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.
10 For even that which was so glorious had no glory in this respect, in comparison with the glory that excels.
11 For if that which fades away was glorious, much more shall that which remains be glorious.
12 ¶ Seeing then that we have such hope, we speak with great confidence,
13 And not as Moses, who put a veil over his face, that the sons of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that glory which was to fade away:
14 (And thus their senses became hardened, for until this day remains the same veil not uncovered in the reading of the old testament, which veil is taken away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when they convert to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.)
17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and where that Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 Therefore we all, beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord with uncovered face, are transformed from glory to glory into the same likeness, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
