1
 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2
 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3
 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4
 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5
 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6
 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
7
 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8
 This persuasion
cometh
not of him that calleth you.
9
 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10
 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11
 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12
 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1
 O God, thou
art
my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2
 To see thy power and thy glory, so
as
I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3
 Because thy lovingkindness
is
better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4
 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5
 My soul shall be satisfied as
with
marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise
thee
with joyful lips:
6
 When I remember thee upon my bed,
and
meditate on thee in the
night
watches.
7
 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8
 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9
 But those
that
seek my soul, to destroy
it,
shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10
 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11
 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
22
 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
10
 Now will I rise, saith the L
ORD
; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11
 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath,
as
fire, shall devour you.
12
 And the people shall be
as
the burnings of lime:
as
thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13
 Hear, ye
that are
far off, what I [the L
ORD
] have done; and, ye
that are
near, acknowledge my might.
14
 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15
 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
16
 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence
shall be
the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters
shall be
sure.
17
 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
18
 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where
is
the scribe? where
is
the receiver? where
is
he that counted the towers?
19
 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue,
that thou canst
not understand.
20
 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle
that
shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21
 But there the glorious L
ORD
will be
unto us a place of broad rivers
and
streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
22
 For the L
ORD
is
our judge, the L
ORD
is
our lawgiver, the L
ORD
is
our king; he will save us.
23
 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24
 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein
shall be
forgiven
their
iniquity.
34:
1
 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
2
 For the indignation of the L
ORD
is
upon all nations, and
his
fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
3
 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4
 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling
fig
from the fig tree.
5
 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
6
 The sword of the L
ORD
is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness,
and
with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the L
ORD
hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7
 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8
 For
it is
the day of the L
ORD
's vengeance,
and
the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
9
 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10
 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11
 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
12
 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none
shall be
there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
13
 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons,
and
a court for owls.
14
 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
15
 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.
16
 Seek ye out of the book of the L
ORD
, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17
 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
35:
1
 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2
 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the L
ORD
,
and
the excellency of our God.
3
 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
4
 Say to them
that are
of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come
with
vengeance,
even
God
with
a recompence; he will come and save you.
5
 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6
 Then shall the lame
man
leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
7
 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay,
shall be
grass with reeds and rushes.
8
 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it
shall be
for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err
therein.
9
 No lion shall be there, nor
any
ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk
there:
10
 And the ransomed of the L
ORD
shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
36:
1
 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah,
that
Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
2
 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
3
 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
4
 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence
is
this wherein thou trustest?
5
 I say,
sayest thou,
(but
they are but
vain words)
I have
counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
6
 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so
is
Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
7
 But if thou say to me, We trust in the L
ORD
our God:
is it
not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
8
 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
9
 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
10
 And am I now come up without the L
ORD
against this land to destroy it? the L
ORD
said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
11
 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand
it;
and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that
are
on the wall.
12
 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words?
hath he
not
sent me
to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
13
 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
14
 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.
15
 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the L
ORD
, saying, The L
ORD
will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
16
 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make
an agreement
with me
by
a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
17
 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18
Â
Beware
lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The L
ORD
will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
19
 Where
are
the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where
are
the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
20
 Who
are they
among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the L
ORD
should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21
 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
22
 Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that
was
over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with
their
clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
