Psalms
131,1 A Song of Ascents;
of David. {N}
LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; {N}
neither do I exercise myself in things too great, or in things too wonderful for me.
131,2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; {N}
like a weaned child with his mother;
my soul is with me like a weaned child.
131,3 O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and for ever. {P}
Genesis4,7 If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door;
and unto thee is its desire, but thou mayest rule over it.’
4,8 And Cain spoke unto Abel his brother.
And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
4,9 And the LORD said unto Cain:
‘Where is Abel thy brother?’
And he said:
‘I know not;
am I my brother’s keeper?’
4,10 And He said:
‘What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto Me from the ground.
4,11 And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand.
4,12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength;
a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth.’
4,13 And Cain said unto the LORD:
‘My punishment is greater than I can bear.
4,14 Behold, Thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the land;
and from Thy face shall I be hid;
and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth;
and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me.’
4,15 And the LORD said unto him:
‘Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.’
And the LORD set a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
4,16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
4,17 And Cain knew his wife;
and she conceived, and bore Enoch;
and he builded a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
4,18 And unto Enoch was born Irad;
and Irad begot Mehujael;
and Mehujael begot Methushael;
and Methushael begot Lamech.
4,19 And Lamech took unto him two wives;
the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
4,20 And Adah bore Jabal;
he was the father of such as dwell in tents and have cattle.
4,21 And his brother’s name was Jubal;
he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe.
4,22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron;
and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
Kings2 12,9 And the priests consented that they should take no longer money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house.
2 12,10 And Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD;
and the priests that kept the threshold put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.
2 12,11 And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
2 12,12 And they gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD;
and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,
2 12,13 and to the masons and the hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
2 12,14 But there were not made for the house of the LORD cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD;
2 12,15 for they gave that to them that did the work, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.
2 12,16 Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give to them that did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
2 12,17 The forfeit money, and the sin money, was not brought into the house of the LORD;
it was the priests’. {P}2 12,18 Then Hazael king of Aram went up, and fought against Gath, and took it;
and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
2 12,19 And Jehoash king Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Aram;
and he went away from Jerusalem.
2 12,20 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 12,21 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash at Beth-millo, on the way that goeth down to Silla.
2 12,22 For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died;
and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David;
and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead. {P}
2 13,1 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.
2 13,2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin;
he departed not therefrom.
2 13,3 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael, continually.
2 13,4 And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him;
for He saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Aram oppressed them.–
2 13,5 And the LORD gave Israel a deliverer, so that they went out from under the hand of the Arameans;
and the sons of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.
2 13,6 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin, but walked therein;
and there remained the Asherah also in Samaria.–
2 13,7 For there was not left to Jehoahaz of the people save fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen;
for the king of Aram destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing.
2 13,8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2 13,9 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers;
and they buried him in Samaria;
and Joash his son reigned in his stead. {P}
2 13,10 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years.
2 13,11 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD;
he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin;
but he walked therein.
2 13,12 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
The Annunciation of Mark – Chapter 13
5 And Jesus began to say to them
Beware, that no one mislead you:
6 for many will come in my name, and will say:
I am he.
And they will mislead many.
7 But when ye shall hear of battles, and the rumor of battles, be not afraid;
for this must be;
but the end is not yet.
8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes in several places, and there will be famines and insurrections.
These are the beginning of sorrows.
9 And take heed to yourselves;
for they will deliver you up to the tribunals;
and ye will be beaten in the synagogues, and ye will stand before kings and governors, on my account, for a testimony to them.
10 And my tidings must first be proclaimed among all the nations.
11 And when they shall lead you to deliver you up, be not solicitous beforehand what ye shall say, neither premeditate;
but, that which shall be given you in that hour, speak ye;
for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 And brother will deliver up his brother to death, and the father his son;
and children will rise up against their parents, and will kill them.
13 And ye will be hated of every man, on account of my name.
But whoever shall persevere to the end, shall live.
14 And when ye see the profane sign of desolation, which was mentioned by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not;
(let him that readeth, understand;) then let those that are in Judaea, flee to the mountain:
15 and let him that is on the roof, not come down and enter [it], to take any thing from his house:
16 and let him that is in the field, not return back to take his clothing.
The Book of Acts – Chapter 25
1 And when Festus arrived at Caesarea, he, after three days, went up to Jerusalem.
2 And the chief priests and the head men of the Jews made representations to him concerning Paul.
3 And they petitioned him, asking of him the favor, that he would send for him to come to Jerusalem;
they placing an ambush to slay him by the way.
4 But Festus made answer:
Paul is in custody at Caesarea, whither I am in haste to go.
5 Therefore, let those among you who are able, go down with us, and make presentment of every offence there is in the man.
6 And when he had been there eight or ten days, he came down to Caesarea.
And the next day, he sat on the tribunal, and commanded Paul to be brought.
