Joshua 1:1–2:24
1And it came to pass after the death of Moses, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Naue, the minister of Moses, saying, 2Moses my servant is dead; now then arise, go over Jordan, thou and all this people, into the land, which I give them. 3Every spot on which ye shall tread I will give it you, as I said to Moses. 4The wilderness and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and as far as the extremity of the sea; your coasts shall be from the setting of the sun. 5Not a man shall stand against you all the days of thy life; and as I was with Moses, so will I also be with thee, and I will not fail thee, or neglect thee. 6Be strong and quit thyself like a man, for thou shalt divide the land to this people, which I sware to give to your fathers. 7Be strong, therefore, and quit thyself like a man, to observe and do as Moses my servant commanded thee; and thou shalt not turn therefrom to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest be wise in whatsoever thou mayest do. 8And the book of this law shall not depart out of thy mouth, and thou shalt meditate in it day and night, that thou mayest know how to do all the things that are written [in it]; then shalt thou prosper, and make thy ways prosperous, and then shalt thou be wise. 9Lo! I have commanded thee; be strong and courageous, be not cowardly nor fearful, for the Lord thy God is with thee in all places whither thou goest. 10And Joshua commanded the scribes of the people, saying, 11Go into the midst of the camp of the people, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for yet three days and ye shall go over this Jordan, entering in to take possession of the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives to you. 12And to Ruben, and to Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse, Joshua said, 13Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your God has caused you to rest, and has given you this land. 14Let your wives and your children and your cattle dwell in the land, which he has given you; and ye shall go over well armed before your brethren, every one of you who is strong; and ye shall fight on their side; 15until the Lord your God shall have given your brethren rest, as also to you, and they also shall have inherited the land, which the Lord your God gives them; then ye shall depart each one to his inheritance, which Moses gave you beyond Jordan eastward. 16And they answered Joshua and said, We will do all things which thou commandest us, and we will go to every place whither thou shalt send us. 17Whereinsoever we hearkened to Moses we will hearken to thee; only let the Lord our God be with thee, as he was with Moses. 18And whosoever shall disobey thee, and whosoever shall not hearken to thy words as thou shalt command him, let him die; but be thou strong and courageous. Chapter 21And Joshua the son of Naue sent out of Sattin two young men to spy [the land], saying, Go up and view the land and Jericho: and the two young men went and entered into Jericho; and they entered into the house of a harlot, whose name [was] Raab, and lodged there. 2And it was reported to the king of Jericho, saying, Men of the sons of Israel have come in hither to spy the land. 3And the king of Jericho sent and spoke to Raab, saying, Bring out the men that entered into thine house this night; for they are come to spy out the land. 4And the woman took the two men and hid them; and she spoke to the messengers, saying, The men came in to me, 5but when the gate was shut in the evening, the men went out; I know not whither they are gone: follow after them, if ye may overtake them. 6But she [had] brought them up upon the house, and hid them in the flax-stalks that were spread by her on the house. 7And the men followed after them in the way to Jordan to the fords; and the gate was shut. 8And it came to pass when the men who pursued after them were gone forth, and before the spies had lain down to sleep, that she came up to them on the top of the house; 9and she said to them, I know that the Lord has given you the land; for the fear of you has fallen upon us. 10For we have heard that the Lord God dried up the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of the land of Egypt, and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, to Seon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. 11And when we heard it we were amazed in our heart, and there was no longer any spirit in any of us because of you, for the Lord your God [is] God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath. 12And now swear to me by the Lord God; since I deal mercifully with you, so do ye also deal mercifully with the house of my father: 13and save alive the house of my father, my mother, and my brethren, and all my house, and all that they have, and ye shall rescue my soul from death. 14And the men said to her, Our life for yours [even] to death: and she said, When the Lord shall have delivered the city to you, ye shall deal mercifully and truly with me. 15And she let them down by the window; 16and she said to them, Depart into the hill-country, lest the pursuers meet you, and ye shall be hidden there three days until your pursuers return from after you, and afterwards ye shall depart on your way. 17And the men said to her, We are clear of this thy oath. 18Behold, we shall enter into a part of the city, and thou shalt set a sign; thou shalt bind this scarlet cord in the window, by which thou hast let us down, and thou shalt bring in to thyself, into thy house, thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all the family of thy father. 19And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall go outside the door of thy house, his guilt shall be upon him, and we shall be quit of this thine oath; and we will be responsible for all that shall be found with thee in thy house. 20But if any one should injure us, or betray these our matters, we shall be quit of this thine oath. 21And she said to them, Let it be according to your word; and she sent them out, and they departed. 22And they came to the hill-country, and remained there three days; and the pursuers searched all the roads, and found them not. 23And the two young men returned, and came down out of the mountain; and they went over to Joshua the son of Naue, and told him all things that had happened to them. 24And they said to Joshua, The Lord has delivered all the land into our power, and all the inhabitants of that land tremble because of us.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 40:1–13(MT: 41)
MT Psalm 41 = LXX Psalm 40 (standard offset).
1For the end, a Psalm of David. 2Blessed [is the man] who thinks on the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in an evil day. 3May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy. 4May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; thou hast made all his bed in his sickness. 5I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. 6Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish? 7And if he came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner. 8All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt. 9They denounced a wicked word against me, [saying], Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again? 10For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up [his] heel against me. 11But thou, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them. 12By this I know that thou hast delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me. 13But thou didst help me because of [mine] innocence, and hast established me before thee for ever.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 13:15–16
15Sound discretion gives favour, and to know the law is the part of a sound understanding: but the ways of scorners tend to destruction. 16Every prudent man acts with knowledge: but the fool displays his own mischief.
New TestamentKing James Version
Luke 8:26–56
26And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 27And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. 28When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. 29(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) 30And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. 31And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. 32And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. 33Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. 34When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. 35Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 36They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. 37Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again. 38Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. 40And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. 41And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: 42For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. 43And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 44Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. 45And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 46And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 47And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 48And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 49While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 50But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. 51And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 52And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 53And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 55And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. 56And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
