Micah 4:1–5:15
1And at the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be manifest, established on the tops of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and the peoples shall hasten to it. 2And many nations shall go, and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall show us his way, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Sion shall go forth a law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 3And he shall judge among many peoples, and shall rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles; and nation shall no more lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more. 4And every one shall rest under his vine, and every one under his fig tree; and there shall be none to alarm [them]: for the mouth of the Lord Almighty has spoken these [words]. 5For all [other] nations shall walk everyone in his own way, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever. 6In that day, says the Lord, I will gather her that is bruised, and will receive her that is cast out, and those whom I rejected. 7And I will make her that was bruised a remnant, and her that was rejected a mighty nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Sion from henceforth, even for ever. 8And you, dark tower of the flock, daughter of Sion, on you the dominion shall come and enter in, [even] the first kingdom from Babylon to the daughter of Jerusalem. 9And now, why have you known calamities? was there not a king to you? or has your counsel perished that pangs as of a woman in travail have seized upon you? 10Be in pain, and strengthen yourself, and draw near, O daughter of Sion, as a woman in travail: for now you shall go forth out of the city, and shall lodge in the plain, and shall reach even to Babylon: thence shall the Lord your God deliver you, and thence shall he redeem you out of the hand of your enemies. 11And now have many nations gathered against you, saying, We will rejoice, and our eyes shall look upon Sion. 12But they know not the thought of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: for he has gathered them as sheaves of the floor. 13Arise, and thresh them, O daughter of Sion: for I will make your horns iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall utterly destroy many nations, and shall consecrate their abundance to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of all the earth. Chapter 51Now shall the daughter [of Sion] be completely hedged in: he has laid siege against us: they shall strike the tribes of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. 2And you, Bethleem, house of Ephratha, are few in number to be [reckoned] among the thousands of Juda; [yet] out of you shall one come forth to me, to be a ruler of Israel; and his goings forth were from the beginning, [even] from eternity. 3Therefore shall he appoint them [to wait] till the time of her that travails: she shall bring forth, and [then] the remnant of their brethren shall return to the children of Israel. 4And the Lord shall stand, and see, and feed his flock with power, and they shall dwell in the glory of the name of the Lord their God: for now shall they be magnified to the ends of the earth. 5And she shall have peace when Assur shall come into your land, and when he shall come up upon your country; and there shall be raised up against him seven shepherds, and eight attacks of men. 6And they shall tend the Assyrian with a sword, and the land of Nebrod with her trench: and he shall deliver [you] from the Assyrian, when he shall come upon your land, and when he shall invade your coasts. 7And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples, as dew falling from the Lord, and as lambs on the grass; that none may assemble nor resist among the sons of men. 8And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many nations, as a lion in the forest among cattle, and as a [lion's] whelp among the flocks of sheep, even as when he goes through, and selects, and carries off [his prey], and there is none to deliver. 9Your hand shall be lifted up against them that afflict you, and all your enemies shall be utterly destroyed. 10And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] I will utterly destroy the horses out of the midst of you, and destroy your chariots; 11and I will utterly destroy the cities of your land, and demolish all your strongholds: 12and I will utterly destroy your sorceries out of your hands; and there shall be no soothsayers in you. 13And I will utterly destroy your graven images, and your statues out of the midst of you; and you shall never any more worship the works of your hands. 14And I will cut off the groves out of the midst of you, and I will abolish your cities. 15and I will execute vengeance on the heathen in anger and wrath, because they listened not.
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 144:1–9(MT: 145)
MT Psalm 145 = LXX Psalm 144 (standard offset).
1(145) David's [Psalm of] praise. I will exalt you, my God, my king; and I will bless your name for ever and ever. 2Every day will I bless you, and I will praise your name for ever and ever. 3The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and there is no end to his greatness. 4Generation after generation shall praise your works, and tell of your power. 5And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of your holiness, and recount your wonders. 6And they shall speak of the power of your terrible [acts]; and recount your greatness. 7They shall utter the memory of the abundance of your goodness, and shall exult in your righteousness. 8The Lord is compassionate, and merciful; long suffering, and abundant in mercy. 9The Lord is good to those that wait [on him]; and his compassions are over all his works.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 30:11–14
11A wicked generation curse their father, and do not bless their mother. 12A wicked generation judge themselves to be just, but do not cleanse their way. 13A wicked generation have lofty eyes, and exalt themselves with their eyelids. 14A wicked generation have swords [for] teeth and jaw teeth [as] knives, so as to destroy and devour the lowly from the earth, and the poor of them from among men.
New TestamentKing James Version
Revelation 10:1–11
1And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, 3And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: 7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 8And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 11And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
