MEM
97 Oh how love I thy law! it is my meditation [a]continually.
98 By thy commandments thou hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
99 I have had more [b]understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understood more than the ancient, because I kept thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not declined from thy judgments: for [c]thou didst teach me.
103 How sweet are thy promises unto my mouth! yea, more than honey unto my mouth.
104 By thy precepts I have gotten understanding: therefore I hate all the ways of falsehood.
11 1 The people murmureth, and is punished with fire. 4 The people lusteth after flesh. 6 They loathe Manna. 11 The weak faith of Moses. 16 The Lord divided the burden of Moses to seventy of the Ancients. 31 The Lord sendeth quails. 33 Their lust is punished.
1 When the people became [a]murmurers, [b]it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it, therefore his wrath was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and (A)consumed the utmost part of the host.
2 Then the people cried unto Moses: and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.
3 And he called the name of the place [c]Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.
4 ¶ And a number of [d]people that was among them, fell a lusting, and [e]turned away, and the children of Israel also wept, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt for [f]nought, the cucumbers, and the pepons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic.
6 But now our soul is [g]dried away, we can see nothing but this Manna.
7 (The Manna also was as (B)coriander seed, and his color like the color of [h]bdellium.
8 The people went about and gathered, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and baked it in a cauldron, and made cakes of it, and the taste of it was like unto the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew fell down upon the host in night, the Manna fell with it.)
17 ¶ [a]Now I beseech you brethren, [b]mark them diligently which cause division and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and (A)avoid them.
18 For they that are such, serve not the Lord Jesus Christ but their own bellies, and with [c]fair speech and flattering deceive the hearts of the simple.
19 [d]For your obedience is come abroad among all: I am glad therefore of you: but yet I would have you [e]wise unto that which is good, and [f]simple concerning evil.
20 [g]The God of peace shall tread Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
