Numbers 31:1–32:42
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and afterwards thou shalt be added to thy people. 3And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict vengeance on Madian from the Lord. 4Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array. 5And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of [each] tribe, twelve thousands; [these were] armed for war. 6And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands. 7And they set themselves in array against Madian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew every male. 8And they slew the kings of Madian together with their slain [subjects]; even Evi and Rocon, and Sur, and Ur, and Roboc, five kings of Madian; and they slew with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their [other] slain. 9And they made a prey of the women of Madian, and their store, and their cattle, and all their possessions: and they spoiled their forces. 10And they burnt with fire all their cities in the places of their habitation, and they burnt their villages with fire. 11And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast. 12And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest, and to all the children of Israel, the captives, and the spoils, and the plunder, to the camp to Araboth Moab, which is at Jordan by Jericho. 13And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the rulers of the synagogue went forth out of the camp to meet them. 14And Moses was angry with the captains of the host, the heads of thousands and the heads of hundreds who came from the battle-array. 15And Moses said to them, Why have ye saved every female alive? 16For they were [the occasion] to the children of Israel by the word of Balaam of their revolting and despising the word of the Lord, because of Phogor; and there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord. 17Now then slay every male in all the spoil, slay every woman, who has known the lying with man. 18And as for all the captivity of women, who have not known the lying with man, save ye them alive. 19And ye shall encamp outside the [great] camp seven days; every one who has slain and who touches a dead body, shall be purified on the third day, and ye and your captivity [shall purify yourselves] on the seventh day. 20And ye shall purify every garment and every leathern utensil, and all furniture of goat skin, and every wooden vessel. 21And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the host that came from the battle-array, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses. 22Beside the gold, and the silver, and the brass, and the iron, and lead, and tin, 23every thing that shall pass through the fire shall so be clean, nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sanctification; and whatsoever will not pass through the fire shall pass through water. 24And on the seventh day ye shall wash your garments, and be clean; and afterwards ye shall come into the camp. 25And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 26Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity both of man and beast, thou and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the families of the congregation. 27And ye shall divide the spoils between the warriors that went out to battle, and the whole congregation. 28And ye shall take a tribute for the Lord from the warriors that went out to battle; one soul out of five hundred, from the men, and from the cattle, even from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses; and ye shall take from their half. 29And thou shalt give [them] to Eleazar the priest [as] the first-fruits of the Lord. 30And from the half belonging to the children of Israel thou shalt take one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses, and from all the cattle; and thou shalt give them to the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord. 31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses. 32And that which remained of the spoil which the warriors took, was—of the sheep, six hundred and seventy-five thousand: 33and oxen, seventy-two thousand: 34and asses, sixty-one thousand. 35And persons of women who had not known lying with man, all the souls, thirty-two thousand. 36And the half, [even] the portion of them that went out to war, from the number of the sheep, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred. 37And the tribute to the Lord from the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five. 38And the oxen, six and thirty thousand, and the tribute to the Lord, seventy-two. 39And asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, and the tribute to the Lord, sixty-one: 40and the persons, sixteen thousand, and the tribute of them to the Lord, thirty-two souls. 41And Moses gave the tribute to the Lord, the heave-offering of God, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses; 42from the half belonging to the children of Israel, whom Moses separated from the men of war. 43And the half [taken] from the sheep, belonging to the congregation, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred. 44And the oxen, thirty-six thousand; 45asses, thirty thousand and five hundred; 46and persons, sixteen thousand. 47And Moses took of the half belonging to the children of Israel the fiftieth part, of men and of cattle, and he gave them to the Levites who keep the charges of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses. 48And all those who were appointed to be officers of thousands of the host, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, approached Moses, and said to Moses, 49Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war with us, and not one is missing. 50And we have brought our gift to the Lord, [every] man who has found an article of gold, whether an armlet, or a chain, or a ring, or a bracelet, or a clasp for hair, to make atonement for us before the Lord. 51And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even every wrought article. 52And all the wrought gold, even the offering that they offered to the Lord, was sixteen thousand and seven hundred and fifty shekels from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds. 53For the men of war took plunder every one for himself. 54And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and brought the vessels into the tabernacle of witness, a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord. Chapter 321And the children of Ruben and the children of Gad had a multitude of cattle, very great; and they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Galaad; and the place was a place for cattle: 2and the children of Ruben and the children of Gad came, and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying, 3Ataroth, and Dæbon, and Jazer, and Namra, and Esebon, and Eleale, and Sebama, and Nabau, and Bæan, 4the land which the Lord has delivered up before the children of Israel, is pasture land, and thy servants have cattle. 5And they said, If we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, and do not cause us to pass over Jordan. 6And Moses said to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here? 7And why do ye pervert the minds of the children of Israel, that they should not cross over into the land, which the Lord gives them? 8Did not your fathers thus, when I sent them from Cades Barne to spy out the land? 9and they went up to the valley of the cluster, and spied the land, and turned aside the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land, which the Lord gave them. 10And the Lord was very angry in that day, and sware, saying, 11Surely these men who came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upward, who know good and evil, shall not see the land which I sware [to give] to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, for they have not closely followed after me: 12save Caleb the son of Jephonne, who was set apart, and Joshua the son of Naue, for they closely followed after the Lord. 13And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and for forty years he caused them to wander in the wilderness, until all the generation which did evil in the sight of the Lord was extinct. 14Behold, ye are risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath of the Lord against Israel. 15For ye will turn away from him to desert him yet once more in the wilderness, and ye will sin against this whole congregation. 16And they came to him, and said, We will build here folds for our cattle, and cities for our possessions; 17and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 18We will not return to our houses till the children of Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own inheritance. 19And we will not any longer inherit with them from the other side of Jordan and onwards, because we have our full inheritance on the side beyond Jordan eastward. 20And Moses said to them, If ye will do according to these words, if ye will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle, 21and every one of you will pass over Jordan fully armed before the Lord, until his enemy be destroyed from before his face, 22and the land shall be subdued before the Lord, then afterwards ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and as regards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the Lord. 23But if ye will not do so, ye will sin against the Lord; and ye shall know your sin, when afflictions shall come upon you. 24And ye shall build for yourselves cities for your store, and folds for your cattle; and ye shall do that which proceeds out of your mouth. 25And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as our lord commands. 26Our store, and our wives, and all our cattle shall be in the cities of Galaad. 27But thy servants will go over all armed and set in order before the Lord to battle, as [our] lord says. 28And Moses appointed to them [for judges] Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the chiefs of the families of the tribes of Israel. 29And Moses said to them, If the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad will pass over Jordan with you, every one armed for war before the Lord, and ye shall subdue the land before you, then ye shall give to them the land of Galaad for a possession. 30But if they will not pass over armed with you to war before the Lord, then shall ye cause to pass over their possessions and their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Chanaan, and they shall inherit with you in the land of Chanaan. 31And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad answered, saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to his servants, that will we do. 32We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and ye shall give us our inheritance beyond Jordan. 33And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph, the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of the land round about. 34And the sons of Gad built Dæbon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, 35and Sophar, and Jazer, and they set them up, 36and Namram, and Bætharan, strong cities, and folds for sheep. 37And the sons of Ruben built Esebon, and Eleale, and Kariatham, 38and Beelmeon, surrounded [with walls], and Sebama; and they called the names of the cities which they built, after their own names. 39And a son of Machir the son of Manasse went to Galaad, and took it, and destroyed the Amorite who dwelt in it. 40And Moses gave Galaad to Machir the son of Manasse, and he dwelt there. 41And Jair the [son] of Manasse went and took their villages, and called them the villages of Jair. 42And Nabau went and took Caath and her villages, and called them Naboth after his name.

Psalm 34:1–8(MT: 35)
MT Psalm 35 = LXX Psalm 34 (standard offset).
1[A Psalm] of David. Judge thou, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me. 2Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help. 3Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am thy salvation. 4Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame. 5Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them. 6Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them. 7For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul. 8Let a snare which they know not come upon them: and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.

Proverbs 12:1
1He that loves instruction loves sense, but he that hates reproofs is a fool.
New TestamentKing James Version
Mark 14:55–72
55And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. 56For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. 57And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, 58We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. 59But neither so did their witness agree together. 60And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 61But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? 64Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 65And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands. 66And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: 67And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. 68But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. 69And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 70And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. 71But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 72And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
