5 ¶ And Moses called all Israel and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and rights which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them and keep them, to do them.
2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 Not with our fathers did the LORD make this covenant, but with us, all of us who are here alive this day.
4 The LORD spoke with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire
5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD, for ye were afraid by reason of the fire and did not climb the mount), saying,
6 ¶ I AM thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt from the house of slavery.
7 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image or any likeness of any thing that is in the heavens above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the waters beneath the earth.
9 Thou shalt not bow down to them nor serve them, for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons unto the third and fourth generation of those that hate me
10 and showing mercy unto thousands, to those that love me and keep my commandments.
11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him innocent that takes his name in vain.
12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God has commanded thee.
13 Six days thou shalt labour and do all thy work,
14 but the seventh day is the sabbath unto the LORD thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy manslave nor thy maidslave nor thine ox nor thine ass nor any animal of thine nor thy stranger that is within thy gates, that thy manslave and thy maidslave may rest as well as thou.
15 And remember that thou wast a slave in the land of Egypt and that the LORD thy God brought thee out of there with a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore, the LORD thy God has commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God has commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God gives thee.
17 Thou shalt not murder.
18 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
19 Thou shalt not steal.
20 Thou shalt not give false testimony against thy neighbour.
21 Thou shalt not desire thy neighbour’s wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s house, his field or his manslave or his maidslave, his ox or his ass or any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
22 These words the LORD spoke unto all your congregation in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice, and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone and delivered them unto me.
23 ¶ And it came to pass when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness and saw the mountain that burned with fire that ye came near unto me, even all the princes of your tribes and your elders;
24 and ye said, Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire; we have seen this day that God does talk with man, and he lives.
25 Now, therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
26 For what is all flesh that it should hear the voice of the living God that speaks out of the midst of the fire, as we heard, and live?
27 Go thou near and hear all that the LORD our God shall say, and thou shalt tell us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words when ye spoke unto me, and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee; they have well said all that they have spoken.
29 O that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always that it might be well with them and with their children for ever!
30 Go say to them, Return to your tents.
31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments and the statutes and the rights, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to inherit.
32 Ye shall observe to do, therefore, as the LORD your God has commanded you; ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you that ye may live and that it may be well with you and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye are to inherit.
6 ¶ Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the rights, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you that ye might do them in the land into which ye go to inherit it
2 that thou might fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou and thy son and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life and that thy days may be prolonged.
3 Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it that it may be well with thee and that ye may be multiplied exceedingly (as the LORD God of thy fathers has said unto thee) in the land that flows with milk and honey.
4 ¶ Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart,
7 and thou shalt repeat them diligently unto thy sons and shalt talk of them being in thy house and walking by the way, lying down in bed, and rising up;
8 and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes;
9 and thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house and on thy gates.
10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give it unto thee: great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,
11 and houses full of all good things, which thou didst not fill, and hewn out wells, which thou didst not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which thou didst not plant; when thou shalt have eaten and be full,
12 then beware lest thou forget the LORD, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God and serve him and shalt swear by his name.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are round about you
15 (for the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest peradventure the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
17 ¶ Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and his testimonies and his statutes, which he has commanded thee.
18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD that it may be well with thee and that thou may enter in and inherit the good land which the LORD swore unto thy fathers
19 so that he will cast out all thine enemies from before thy presence, as the LORD has spoken.
20 And when tomorrow thy son asks thee, saying, What are the testimonies and the statutes and the rights, which the LORD our God has commanded you?
21 Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt, and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
22 and the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, in Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes;
23 and he brought us out from there that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore unto our fathers.
24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes that we might fear the LORD our God for our good always that he might give us life, as it is at this day.
25 And we shall have justice when we keep ourselves by doing all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.
11 ¶ And it came to pass the day after that he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and many people.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and many people from the city were with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier, and those that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all, and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us, and, That God has visited his people.
17 And this word of him went forth throughout all Judaea and throughout all the region round about.
18 And the disciples of John showed him of all these things.
19 ¶ And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist has sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues and of evil spirits, and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go and tell John the things ye have seen and heard: how the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached;
23 and blessed is whoever shall not be offended in me.
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those that are gorgeously apparelled and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
26 But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist, but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 And all the people that heard him and the publicans justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
31 And the Lord said, Unto whom then shall I compare the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace and calling one to another and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily lades us with benefits, even the God of our saving health. Selah.
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation, and unto GOD the Lord belongs the way of escape from death.
21 Surely God shall smite the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such a one as goes on still in his trespasses.
22 ¶ The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23 Thy foot shall be dipped in the blood of thine enemies and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24 They have seen thy ways, O God, even the ways of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; in between them were the virgins playing with timbrels.
26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, ye of the lineage of Israel.
27 There was little Benjamin as their ruler, the princes of Judah in their congregation, the princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Thy God has commanded thy strength; confirm, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 From thy temple in Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30 Reprehend the company of spearmen, the multitude of the strong, with the lords of the peoples, trampling them underfoot with their pieces of silver; Destroy thou the peoples that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 ¶ Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord, Selah:
33 To him that rides upon the heavens of the heavens which were of old; behold, he shall send forth his voice, his mighty voice.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God; his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy sanctuaries; the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
29 ¶ He that troubles his own house shall inherit the wind, and the fool shall be slave to the wise of heart.
30 ¶ The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he that wins souls is wise.
31 ¶ The righteous shall certainly be recompensed in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!
