² Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

³ For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

⁴ How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.

⁵ But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

⁶ But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

⁷ For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

⁸ In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

⁹ Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

¹⁰ But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

¹¹ Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

¹² God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

¹³ And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.

15 In the seven and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Azarias son of Amasias, king of Juda.

² He was sixteen years old, when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem.

³ And he did that which was pleasing before the Lord, according to all that his father Amasias had done.

⁴ But the high places he did not destroy: for the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

⁵ And the Lord struck the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a free house apart: but Joatham the king's soil governed the palace, and judged the people of the land.

⁶ And the rest of the acts of Azarias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

⁷ And Azarias slept with his fathers: and they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David, and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.

⁷ And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

⁸ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.

⁹ Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses:

¹⁰ Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat.

¹¹ And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence.

¹² And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.

¹³ And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you.

¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.

¹⁵ Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
