Psalms
2,1 Why are the nations in an uproar?
And why do the peoples mutter in vain?
2,2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, {N}
against the LORD, and against His anointed:
2,3 ‘Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.’
2,4 He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.
2,5 Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:
2,6 ‘Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.’
2,7 I will tell of the decree:
the LORD said unto me:
‘Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee.
2,8 Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.
2,9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.’
2,10 Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise;
be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
2,11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
2,12 Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. {N}
Happy are all they that take refuge in Him. {P}
Genesis
18,23 And Abraham drew near, and said:
‘Wilt Thou indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
18,24 Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city;
wilt Thou indeed sweep away and not forgive the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
18,25 That be far from Thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked;
that be far from Thee;
shall not the Judge of all the earth do justly?’
18,26 And the LORD said:
‘If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sake.’
18,27 And Abraham answered and said:
‘Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, who am but dust and ashes.
18,28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous;
wilt Thou destroy all the city for lack of five?’
And He said:
‘I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five.’
18,29 And he spoke unto Him yet again, and said:
‘Peradventure there shall be forty found there.’
And He said:
‘I will not do it for the forty’s sake.’
18,30 And he said:
‘Oh, let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak.
Peradventure there shall thirty be found there.’
And He said:
‘I will not do it, if I find thirty there.’
18,31 And he said:
‘Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD.
Peradventure there shall be twenty found there.’
And He said:
‘I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.’
18,32 And he said:
‘Oh, let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once.
Peradventure ten shall be found there.’
And He said:
‘I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.’
18,33 And the LORD went His way, as soon as He had left off speaking to Abraham;
and Abraham returned unto his place.
19,1 And the two angels came to Sodom at even;
and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom;
and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them;
and he fell down on his face to the earth;
19,2 and he said:
‘Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way.’
And they said:
‘Nay;
but we will abide in the broad place all night.’
19,3 And he urged them greatly;
and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house;
and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
19,4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
19,5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him:
‘Where are the men that came in to thee this night?
bring them out unto us, that we may know them.’
19,6 And Lot went out unto them to the door, and shut the door after him.
Isaiah
9,7 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
9,8 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in arrogancy of heart:
9,9 ‘The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stones;
the sycamores are cut down, but cedars will we put in their place.’
9,10 Therefore the LORD doth set upon high the adversaries of Rezin against him, and spur his enemies;
9,11 The Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west;
and they devour Israel with open mouth.
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
9,12 Yet the people turneth not unto Him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts. {S}
9,13 Therefore the LORD doth cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
9,14 The elder and the man of rank, he is the head;
and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
9,15 For they that lead this people cause them to err;
and they that are led of them are destroyed.
9,16 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall He have compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for every one is ungodly and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh wantonness.
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
9,17 For wickedness burneth as the fire;
it devoureth the briers and thorns;
yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke.
9,18 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land burnt up;
the people also are as the fuel of fire;
no man spareth his brother.
9,19 And one snatcheth on the right hand, and is hungry;
and he eateth on the left hand, and is not satisfied;
they eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
9,20 Manasseh, Ephraim;
and Ephraim, Manasseh;
and they together are against Judah.
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still. {S}
10,1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write iniquity;
10,2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right of the poor of My people, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
10,3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the ruin which shall come from far?
To whom will ye flee for help?
And where will ye leave your glory?
10,4 They can do nought except crouch under the captives, and fall under the slain.
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still. {P}
10,5 O Asshur, the rod of Mine anger, in whose hand as a staff is Mine indignation!
10,6 I do send him against an ungodly nation, and against the people of My wrath do I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
10,7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so;
but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
10,8 For he saith:
‘Are not my princes all of them kings?
10,9 Is not Calno as Carchemish?
Is not Hamath as Arpad?
Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10,10 As my hand hath reached the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did exceed them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
10,11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?’ {P}
10,12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed His whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.
Esther
3,1 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
3,2 And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed down, and prostrated themselves before Haman;
for the king had so commanded concerning him.
But Mordecai bowed not down, nor prostrated himself before him.
3,3 Then the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai:
‘Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?’
3,4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s words would stand;
for he had told them that he was a Jew.
3,5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor prostrated himself before him, then was Haman full of wrath.
3,6 But it seemed contemptible in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai;
wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
3,7 In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar. {S}
3,8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus:
‘There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom;
and their laws are diverse from those of every people;
neither keep they the king’s laws;
therefore it profiteth not the king to suffer them.
3,9 If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed;
and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have the charge of the king’s business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.’
3,10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
3,11 And the king said unto Haman:
‘The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.’
3,12 Then were the king’s scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written, according to all that Haman commanded, unto the king’s satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people;
to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language;
in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king’s ring.
3,13 And letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
3,14 The copy of the writing, to be given out for a decree in every province, was to be published unto all peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
3,15 The posts went forth in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the castle;
and the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed. {S}
