Ezekiel 7:1–8:18
1Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Also, thou, son of man, say, 2Thus saith the Lord; An end is come to the land of Israel, the end is come on the four corners of the land. 3The end is come 4on thee, the inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day has drawn nigh, not with tumult, nor with pangs. 5Now I will pour out mine anger upon thee near at hand, and I will accomplish my wrath on thee: and I will judge thee for thy ways, and recompense upon thee all thine abominations. 6Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord that smite [thee]. 7Now the end [is come] to thee, and I will send [judgment] upon thee: and I will take vengeance on thy ways, and will recompense all thine abominations upon thee. 8Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense thy way upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. 9For thus saith the Lord; Behold, the end is come. 10Behold, the day of the Lord! although the rod has blossomed, 11pride has sprung up, and will break the staff of the wicked one, and [that] not with tumult, nor with haste. 12The time is come, behold the day: let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn. 13For the buyer shall never again return to the seller, neither shall a man cleave with the eye [of hope] to his life. 14Sound ye the trumpet, and pass sentence on all together. 15[There shall be] war with the sword without, and famine and pestilence within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and famine and pestilence shall destroy them that are in the city. 16But they that escape of them shall be delivered, and shall be upon the mountains: and I will slay all [the rest], every one for his iniquities. 17All hands shall be completely weakened, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture. 18And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and amazement shall cover them; and shame shall be upon them, [even] upon every face, and baldness upon every head. 19Their silver shall be cast forth in the streets, and their gold shall be despised: their souls shall not be satisfied, and their bellies shall not be filled: for it was the punishment of their iniquities. 20[As for] their choice ornaments, they employed them for pride, and they made of them images of their abominations: therefore have I made them uncleanness to them. 21And I will deliver them into the hands of strangers to make them a prey, and to the pests of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane them. 22And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall defile my charge, and shall go in to them unguardedly, and profane them. 23And they shall work uncleanness: because the land is full of strange nations, and the city is full of iniquity. 24And I will turn back the boasting of their strength; and their holy things shall be defiled. 25And [though] propitiation shall come, and [one] shall seek peace, yet there shall be none. 26There shall be woe upon woe, and there shall be message upon message; and a vision shall be sought from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders. 27The prince shall clothe himself with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be made feeble: I will do to them according to their ways, and according to their judgments will I punish them; and they shall know that I am the Lord. Chapter 81And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in the house, and the elders of Juda were sitting before me: and the hand of the Lord came upon me. 2And I looked, and, behold, the likeness of a man: from his loins and downwards [there was] fire, and from his loins upwards [there was] as the appearance of amber. 3And he stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me up by the crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a vision of God, to the porch of the gate that looks to the north, where was the pillar of the Purchaser. 4And, behold, the glory of the Lord God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I saw in the plain. 5And he said to me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and, behold, [I looked] from the north toward the eastern gate. 6And he said to me, Son of man, hast thou seen what these do? They commit great abominations here so that I should keep away from my sanctuary: and thou shalt see yet greater iniquities. 7And he brought me to the porch of the court. 8And he said to me, Son of man, dig: so I dug, and behold a door. 9And he said to me, Go in, and behold the iniquities which they practise here. 10So I went in and looked; and beheld vain abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon them round about. 11And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jechonias the son of Saphan stood in their presence in the midst of them, and each one held his censer in his hand; and the smoke of the incense went up. 12And he said to me, Thou hast seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do, each one of them in their secret chamber: because they have said, The Lord sees not; The Lord has forsaken the earth. 13And he said to me, Thou shalt see yet greater iniquities which these do. 14And he brought me in to the porch of the house of the Lord that looks to the north; and, behold, [there were] women sitting there lamenting for Thammuz. 15And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen; but thou shalt yet see [evil] practices greater than these. 16And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun. 17And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen this. [Is it] a little thing to the house of Juda to practise the iniquities which they have practised here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners. 18Therefore will I deal with them in wrath: mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 119:1–7(MT: 120)
MT Psalm 120 = LXX Psalm 119 (standard offset).
1A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he hearkened to me. 2Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 3What should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee, for [thy] crafty tongue? 4Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert. 5Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar. 6My soul has long been a sojourner; 7I was peaceable among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 28:15
15A hungry lion and a thirsty wolf [is he], who, being poor, rules over a poor nation.
New TestamentKing James Version
Hebrews 4:1–16
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 14Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
