Isaiah 37:1–38:22
1And it came to pass, when king Ezekias heard [it, that] he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth, and went up to the house of the Lord. 2And he sent Heliakim the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and the elders of the priests clothed with sackcloth, to Esaias the son of Amos, the prophet. And they said to him, Thus says Ezekias, 3To-day is a day of affliction, and reproach, and rebuke, and anger: for the pangs are come upon the travailing [woman], but she has not strength to bring forth. 4May the Lord thy God hear the words of Rabsaces, which the king of the Assyrians has sent, to reproach the living God, even to reproach with the words which the Lord thy God has heard: therefore thou shalt pray to thy Lord for these that are left. 5So the servants of king Ezekias came to Esaias. 6And Esaias said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not thou afraid at the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the ambassadors of the king of the Assyrians have reproached me. 7Behold, I [will] send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and return to his own country, and he shall fall by the sword in his own land. 8So Rabsaces returned, and found the king of the Assyrians besieging Lobna: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachis. 9And Tharaca king of the Ethiopians went forth to attack him. And when he heard it, he turned aside, and sent messengers to Ezekias, saying, 10Thus shall ye say to Ezekias king of Judea, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians. 11Hast thou not heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done, how they have destroyed the whole earth? and shalt thou be delivered? 12Have the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed delivered them, both Gozan, and Charrhan, and Rapheth, which are in the land of Theemath? 13Where are the kings of Emath? and where [is the king of] Arphath? and where [is the king] of the city of Eppharuaim, [and of] Anagugana? 14And Ezekias received the letter from the messengers, and read it, and went up to the house of the Lord, and opened it before the Lord. 15And Ezekias prayed to the Lord, saying, 16O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who sittest upon the cherubs, thou alone art the God of every kingdom of the world: thou hast made heaven and earth. 17Incline thine ear, O Lord, hearken, O Lord; open thine eyes, O Lord, look, O Lord: and behold the words of Sennacherim, which he has sent to reproach the living God. 18For of a truth, Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste the whole world, and the countries thereof, 19and have cast their idols into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have cast them away. 20But now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hands, that every kingdom of the earth may know that thou art God alone. 21And Esaias the son of Amos was sent to Ezekias, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, I have heard thy prayer to me concerning Sennacherim king of the Assyrians. 22This is the word which God has spoken concerning him; The virgin daughter of Sion has despised thee, and mocked thee; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee. 23Whom hast thou reproached and provoked? and against whom hast thou lifted up thy voice? and hast thou not lifted up thine eyes on high against the Holy One of Israel? 24For thou hast reproached the Lord by messengers; for thou hast said, With the multitude of chariots have I ascended to the height of mountains, and to the sides of Libanus; and I have cropped the height of his cedars and the beauty of his cypresses; and I entered into the height of the forest region: 25and I have made a bridge, and dried up the waters, and every pool of water. 26Hast thou not heard of these things which I did of old? I appointed [them] from ancient times; but now have I manifested [my purpose] of desolating nations in [their] strong holds, and them that dwell in strong cities. 27I weakened [their] hands, and they withered; and they became as dry grass on the house-tops, and as grass. 28But now I know thy rest, and thy going out, and thy coming in. 29And thy wrath wherewith thou hast been enraged, and thy rancour has come up to me; therefore I will put a hook in thy nose, and a bit in thy lips, and will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest. 30And this shall be a sign to thee, Eat this year what thou hast sown; and the second year that which is left: and the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 31And they that are left in Judea shall take root downward, and bear fruit upward: 32for out of Jerusalem there shall be a remnant, and the saved ones out of mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this. 33Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, nor cast a weapon against it, nor bring a shield against it, nor make a rampart round it. 34But by the way by which he came, by it shall he return, and shall not enter into this city: thus saith the Lord. 35I will protect this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 36And the angel of the Lord went forth, and slew out of the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they arose in the morning and found all [these] bodies dead. 37And Sennacherim king of the Assyrians turned and departed, and dwelt in Nineve. 38And while he was worshipping Nasarach his country's god in the house, Adramelech and Sarasar his sons smote him with swords; and they escaped into Armenia: and Asordan his son reigned in his stead. Chapter 381And it came to pass at that time, [that] Ezekias was sick even to death. And Esaias the prophet the son of Amos came to him, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Give orders concerning thy house: for thou shalt die, and not live. 2And Ezekias turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying, 3Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before thee in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in thy sight. And Ezekias wept bitterly. 4And the word of the Lord came to Esaias, saying, Go, and say to Ezekias, 5Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, and seen thy tears: behold, I [will] add to thy time fifteen years. 6And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city. 7And this [shall be] a sign to thee from the Lord, that God will do this thing; 8behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of thy father the sun has gone down—I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down. 9The Prayer of Ezekias king of Judea, when he had been sick, and was recovered from his sickness. 10I said in the end of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I shall part with the remainder of my years. 11I said, I shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man. 12[My life] has failed from among my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down [again]: my breath was with me as a weaver's web, when she that weaves draws nigh to cut off [the] thread. 13In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day [even] to night. 14As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me, 15and removed the sorrow of my soul. 16[Yea], O Lord, for it was told thee concerning this; and thou hast revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live. 17For thou hast chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and thou hast cast all [my] sins behind me. 18For they that are in the grave shall not praise thee, neither shall the dead bless thee, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for thy mercy. 19The living shall bless thee, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare thy righteousness, 20O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing thee with the psaltery all the days of my life before the house of God. 21Now Esaias had said to Ezekias; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaister, and thou shalt be well. 22And Ezekias said, This is a sign to Ezekias, that I shall go up to the house of God.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 108:14–20(MT: 109)
MT Psalm 109 = LXX Psalm 108 (standard offset).
14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 15Let them be before the Lord continually; and let their memorial be blotted out from the earth. 16Because he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, and [that] to slay him that was pricked in the heart. 17He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; and he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him. 18Yea, he put on cursing as a garment, and it is come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones. 19Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, and as a girdle with which he girds himself continually. 20This is the dealing of the Lord with those who falsely accuse me, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

Proverbs 26:1
1As dew in harvest, and as rain in summer, so honour is not [seemly] for a fool.
New TestamentKing James Version
Galatians 1:1–24
1Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) 2And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: 3Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: 5To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 6I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 13For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: 14And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 15But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, 16To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 17Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. 18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. 19But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother. 20Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. 21Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; 22And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judea which were in Christ: 23But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. 24And they glorified God in me.
