Isaiah 21:1–22:25
1THE VISION OF THE DESERT. As though a whirlwind should pass through the desert, coming from a desert, [even] from such a land, 2[so] a fearful and a grievous vision was declared to me: he that is treacherous deals treacherously, the transgressor transgresses. The Elamites are upon me, and the ambassadors of the Persians come against me: now will I groan and comfort myself. 3Therefore are my loins filled with feebleness, and pangs have seized me as a travailing woman: I dealt wrongfully that I might not hear; I hasted that I might not see. 4My heart wanders, and transgression overwhelms me; my soul is occupied with fear. 5Prepare the table, eat, drink: arise, you⌃ princes, and prepare [your] shields. 6For thus said the Lord to me, Go and station a watchman for yourself, and declare whatever you shall see. 7And I saw two mounted horsemen, and a rider on an ass, and a rider on a camel. 8Listen with great attention, and call you Urias to the watch-tower: the Lord has spoken. I stood continually during the day, and I stood in the camp all night: 9and, behold, he comes riding in a chariot and pair: and he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all her images and her idols have been crushed to the ground. 10Hear, you⌃ that are left, and you⌃ that are in pain, hear what things I have heard of the Lord of hosts [which] the God of Israel has declared to us. THE VISION OF IDUMEA. 11Call to me out of Seir; guard you⌃ the bulwarks. 12I watch in the morning and the night: if you would enquire, enquire, and dwell by me. 13You may lodge in the forest in the evening, or in the way of Daedan. 14You⌃ that dwell in the country of Thaeman, bring water to meet him that is thirsty; 15meet the fugitives with bread, because of the multitude of the slain, and because of the multitude of them that lose their way, and because of the multitude of swords, and because of the multitude of bent bows, and because of the multitude of them that have fallen in war. 16For thus said the Lord to me, Yet a year, as the year of an hireling, [and] the glory of the sons of Kedar shall fail: 17and the remnant of the strong bows of the sons of Kedar shall be small: for the Lord God of Israel has spoken [it]. Chapter 221THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF SION. What has happened to you, that now you⌃ are all gone up to the housetops which help you not? 2The city is filled with shouting [men]: your slain are not slain with swords, nor are your dead those who have died in battle. 3All your princes have fled, and [your] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in you have fled far away. 4Therefore I said, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labor not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people. 5For [it is] a day of trouble, and of destruction, and of treading down, and [there is] perplexity [sent] from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the valley of Sion; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains. 6And the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle. 7And it shall be [that] your choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up your gates. 8And they shall uncover the gates of Juda, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city. 9And they shall uncover the secret places of the houses of the citadel of David: and they saw that they were many, and that one [had] turned the water of the old pool into the city; 10and that they [had] pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city. 11And you⌃ procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but you⌃ looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it. 12And the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and baldness, and for girding with sackcloth: 13but they engaged in joy and gladness, slaying calves, and killing sheep, so as to eat flesh, and drink wine; saying, Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die. 14And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until you⌃ die. 15Thus says the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the treasurer, and say to him, Why are you here? 16and what have you to do here, that you have here hewn yourself a sepulchre, and made yourself a sepulchre on high, and have graven for yourself a dwelling in the rock? 17Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away your robe and your glorious crown, 18and will cast you into a great and unmeasured land, and there you shall die: and he will bring your fair chariot to shame, and the house of your prince to be trodden down. 19And you shall be removed from your stewardship, and from your place. 20And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Chelcias: 21and I will put on him your robe, and I will grant him your crown with power, and I will give your stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda. 22And I will give him the glory of David; and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him: and I will give him the key of the house of David [upon] his shoulder; and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut; and he shall shut, and there shall be none to open. 23And I will make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of his father's house. 24And every one that is glorious in the house of his father shall trust in him, from the least to the greatest; and they shall depend upon him in that day. 25Thus says the Lord of hosts, The man that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be taken away, and shall fall; and the glory that is upon him shall be utterly destroyed: for the Lord has spoken it.
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 106:1–9(MT: 107)
MT Psalm 107 = LXX Psalm 106 (standard offset).
1(107) Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy [endures] for ever. 2Let them say [so] who have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 3and gathered them out of the countries, from the east, and west, and north, and south. 4They wandered in the wilderness in a dry land; they found no way to a city of habitation. 5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 6Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction, and he delivered them out of their distresses. 7And he guided them into a straight path, that they might go to a city of habitation. 8Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonderful works to the children of men. 9For he satisfies the empty soul, and fills the hungry [soul] with good things,
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 25:14–16
14As winds and clouds and rains are most evident [objects], so is he that boasts of a false gift. 15In longsuffering is prosperity to kings, and a soft tongue breaks the bones. 16Having found honey, eat [only] what is enough, lest haply you be filled, and vomit it up.
New TestamentKing James Version
2 Corinthians 7:1–16
1Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. 3I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. 4Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. 5For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. 6Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 7And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. 8For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. 9Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 12Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you. 13Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 14For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth. 15And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. 16I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
