Revised Geneva Translation (RGT)
Version
Exodus 21:22-23:13

22 “Also, if men strive and hurt a woman with child, so that her child departs from her, but death does not follow, he shall surely be punished according to the woman’s husband’s demands, or he shall pay as the judges determine.

23 “But, if death does follow, then you shall pay life for life,

24 “eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 “burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

26 “And if a man strikes his servant in the eye, or his maid in the eye, and has destroyed it, he shall let him go free because of his eye.

27 “Also, if he knocks out his servant’s tooth, or his maid’s tooth, he shall let him go out free because of his tooth.

28 “If an ox gores a man or a woman so that he dies, the ox shall be stoned to death and his flesh shall not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall be acquitted.

29 If the ox was known to push in times past and it has been told to his master and he has not controlled him. And if afterward, he kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned; and his owner shall die also.

30 “If a sum of money is imposed upon him, then he shall pay the ransom for his life, whatever shall be laid upon him.

31 “Whether it has gored a son or gored a daughter, it shall be judged in the same manner.

32 “If the ox gores a servant or a maid, he shall give their master thirty shekels of silver; and the ox shall be stoned.

33 “And when a man opens a well (or when he digs a pit) and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls therein,

34 “the owner of the pit shall make it good, giving money to the owner thereof. And the dead beast shall become his.

35 “And if a man’s ox hurts his neighbor’s ox, so that he dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money thereof; and they shall also divide the dead ox.

36 “Or if it is known that the ox tended to push in times past, and his master has not controlled him, he shall pay ox for ox; but the dead shall become his own.”

22 “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep.

“If a thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, no blood shall be shed because of him.

“But, if a thief is found in the daylight, blood shall be shed because of him. He should make full restitution. If he does not have it, then he should be sold for his theft.

“If the theft is found with him alive, (whether ox, donkey, or sheep) he shall restore it double.5 “If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed and puts in his beast to feed in another man’s field, he shall repay from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.

“If fire breaks out and spreads to the thorns and the stacks of corn (or the standing corn) or the field is consumed, he who kindled the fire shall make full restitution.

“If a man gives his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of his house, if the thief be found, he shall pay double.

“If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, to determine whether he has put his hand into his neighbor’s goods.

“In all types of trespass, whether it is for oxen, for donkeys, for sheep, for clothing, or for any type of lost thing which another claims to be his, the cause of both shall come before the judges. Whomever the judges condemn shall pay double to the neighbor.

10 “If a man gives his donkey, or ox, or sheep, or any beast, to his neighbor to keep and it dies (or is hurt, or taken away by enemies) and no one sees it,

11 “an oath of the LORD shall be between the two of them that he has not put his hand into his neighbor’s goods. And the owner of it shall take the oath; and he shall not seek restitution.

12 “But, if it is stolen from the neighbor, he shall make restitution to the owner thereof.

13 “If it is torn to pieces, he shall bring evidence and shall not be required to make restitution for that which was devoured.

14 “And if a man borrows anything from his neighbor and it is injured or dies, and the owner thereof is not there, he shall surely make restitution.

15 “If the owner thereof is there, he shall not make restitution. For if it is a hired thing, it came for its hire.

16 “And if a man entices a maid who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall endow her and take her as his wife.

17 “If her father refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

18 “You shall not allow a witch to live.

19 “Whoever lies with an animal, shall die the death.

20 “He who offers to any god other than the LORD alone, shall be designated for destruction.

21 “Moreover, you shall not do injury to a stranger, nor oppress him. For you were both strangers in the land of Egypt.

22 “You shall not trouble any widow or fatherless child.

23 “If you afflict or trouble such, so that he calls and cries to Me, I will surely hear his cry.

24 “Then, My wrath be shall kindled; and I will kill you with the sword. And your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25 “If you lend money to My people who are poor among you, you shall not be as a moneylender to him. You shall not oppress him with usury.

26 “If you take your neighbor’s clothing as a pledge, you shall restore it to him before the Sun goes down.

27 “For that is his only covering. It is his garment for his skin. In what shall he sleep? Therefore, when he cries to Me, I will hear him. For I am merciful.

28 “You shall not revile the judges, nor speak evil of the ruler of your people.

29 “You shall not hold back your abundance or your liquor. You shall give Me the firstborn of your sons.

30 “You shall do likewise with your oxen and with your sheep. For seven days it shall be with its mother, and the eighth day you shall give it to Me.

31 “You shall be a holy people to Me. You shall not eat any flesh that has been torn by beasts in the field. You shall cast it to the dog.”

23 “You shall not bring a false report, nor shall you put in your hand with the wicked, to be a false witness.

“You shall not follow a multitude to evil, nor testify in a dispute to follow after many and pervert justice.

“You shall not be partial to a poor man in his cause.

“If you meet your enemy’s ox, or his donkey, going astray, you shall bring it back to him.

“If you see your enemy’s donkey lying under his load, and would decline to help him, you shall indeed help him up again with it.

“You shall not pervert the rights of the poor in his suit.

“You shall keep yourself far from a false matter. You shall kill neither the innocent nor the righteous. For I will not justify the wicked.

“You shall take no gifts. For a gift blinds the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

“You shall not oppress a stranger. For you know the heart of a stranger, seeing you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

10 “Moreover, six years you shall sow your land, and gather its fruits.

11 “But the seventh year, you shall let it rest, and lie still, so that the poor of your people may eat. And what they leave, the wild animals shall eat. You shall do likewise with your vineyard and with your olive trees.

12 “Six days you shall do your work; and on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your maid and the stranger may be refreshed.

13 “And you shall pay attention to all things which I have said to you. And you shall make no mention of the name of other gods, nor shall it be heard from your mouth.

Matthew 24:1-28

24 And Jesus went out and departed from the Temple. And His disciples came to Him to show Him the building of the Temple.

And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, there shall not be left a stone upon a stone here, that shall not be cast down.”

And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, His disciples came to Him alone, saying, “Tell us when these things shall be. And what sign shall there be of Your coming, and of the end of the world?”

And Jesus answered, and said to them, “See to it that no one deceives you.

“For many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am Christ’, and shall deceive many.

“And you shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled. For all these things must happen. But the end is not yet.

“For nation shall rise against nation, and realm against realm. And there shall be famine, and pestilence, and earthquakes in diverse places.

“All these are but the beginning of sorrows.

“Then they shall deliver you up to tribulation and shall kill you. And you shall be hated by all nations, for My Name’s sake.

10 “And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 “And many false prophets shall arise and shall deceive many.

12 “And because iniquity shall be increased, the love of many shall be cold.

13 “But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved.

14 “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached through the whole world, for a witness to all nations. And then the end shall come.

15 “Therefore, when you shall see the Abomination of Desolation (spoken of by Daniel the Prophet) set in the Holy Place (let the one who reads consider it.)

16 “Then let those who are in Judea, flee into the mountains.

17 “Let the one who is on the housetop, not come down to fetch anything out of his house.

18 “And the one who is in the field, let him not go back to fetch his clothes.

19 “Then woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck in those days.

20 “But pray that your flight is not in the winter, nor on the Sabbath.

21 “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world to this time, nor shall be.

22 “And unless those days are shortened, no flesh will be saved. But for the Elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened.

23 “Then, if anyone shall say to you, ‘Lo, here (or there) is Christ’, do not believe it.

24 “For there shall arise false christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders. So that if it were possible, they would deceive the very Elect.

25 “Behold, I have told you before.

26 “Therefore, if they shall say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the desert’, do not go. ‘Behold, He is in the secret places’, do not believe it.

27 “For as the lightning comes out of the east, and is seen in the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of Man be.

28 “For wherever a dead carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Psalm 29

29 Give to the LORD, you sons of the Mighty. Give to the LORD glory and strength.

Give to the LORD glory due His Name. Worship the LORD in the glorious Sanctuary.

The voice of the LORD is upon the waters. The God of Glory makes it thunder. The LORD is upon the great waters.

The voice of the LORD is mighty. The voice of the LORD is glorious.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars. Indeed, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

He also makes them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Shirion like a young unicorn.

The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.

The voice of the LORD makes the wilderness tremble. The LORD makes the wilderness of Kadesh tremble.

The voice of the LORD makes the hinds calve and discovers the forests. In His Temple, every man speaks of His Glory.

10 The LORD sits upon the floods; and the LORD remains King forever.

11 The LORD shall give strength to His people. The LORD shall bless His people with peace. A Psalm or song of the dedication of the House of David.

Proverbs 7:6-23

As in the window of my house, I looked through my window.

And I saw among the fools, considered among the children, a young man destitute of understanding.

Who passed through the street by her corner and went toward her house;

in the twilight, in the evening, when the night began to be black and dark.

10 And behold, he was met by a woman with a harlot’s behavior, and subtle in heart.

11 (She is babbling and loud. Her feet cannot stay in her house.

12 Now outside. Now in the streets; lying in wait at every corner)

13 So she caught him and kissed him. And with an impudent face, said to him,

14 “I have peace offerings. Today I have paid my vows.

15 “Therefore I came forth to meet you, that I might seek your face. And I have found you.

16 “I have decked my bed with ornaments, carpets and laces of Egypt.

17 “I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

18 “Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning. Let us take our pleasure in dalliance.

19 “For my husband is not at home. He is gone on a far-off journey.

20 “He has taken with him a bag of silver and will come home at the day appointed.”

21 Thus with her great craftiness she caused him to yield. And with her flattering lips she enticed him.

22 And he followed her immediately, as an ox that goes to the slaughter; and as a fool to the stocks for correction,

23 till an arrow strikes through his liver. As a bird hastes to the snare, not knowing that he is in danger.
