Joshua
13
|

1 ¶Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said
unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth
yet very much land to be possessed.
2 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines,
and all Geshuri,
3 From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron
northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the
Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites,
the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:
4 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that
is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:
5 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising,
from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim,
and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children
of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an
inheritance, as I have commanded thee.
7 ¶Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the
nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
8 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance,
which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the
servant of the LORD gave them;
9 From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the
city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba
unto Dibon;
10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned
in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
11 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites,
and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and
in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did
Moses smite, and cast them out.
13 Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites,
nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell
among the Israelites until this day.
14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices
of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as
he said unto them.
15 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance
according to their families.
16 And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the river
Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the
plain by Medeba;
17 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and
Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,
18 And Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of
the valley,
20 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,
21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon
king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote
with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and
Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children
of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
23 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the
border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben
after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
24 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the
children of Gad according to their families.
25 And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and
half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before
Rabbah;
26 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim
unto the border of Debir;
27 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and
Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan
and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the
other side Jordan eastward.
28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families,
the cities, and their villages.
29 And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and
this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh
by their families.
30 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom
of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan,
threescore cities:
31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom
of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the
son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir
by their families.
32 These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance
in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.
33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the
LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.

1 ¶The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from
being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which
shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from
Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of
the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob
shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and
reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth
ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6 ¶Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking
of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost
bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith
the LORD God of Israel.
7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall
have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither
shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves,
or the images.
9 ¶In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough,
and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children
of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast
not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou
plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning
shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a
heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 ¶Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise
like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that
make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God
shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased
as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling
thing before the whirlwind.
14 And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he
is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of
them that rob us.

1 ¶Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the
rivers of Ethiopia:
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes
upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered
and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto;
a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have
spoiled!
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see
ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth
a trumpet, hear ye.
4 For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will
consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape
is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with
pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and
to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them,
and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts
of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from
their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot,
whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of
the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.

Timothy 3

1 ¶This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers
of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from
such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive
silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the
truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist
the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest
unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 ¶But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life,
purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at
Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them
all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving,
and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast
been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which
are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is
in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto
all good works.

Timothy 4
|

1 ¶I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his
kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall
be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work
of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure
is at hand.
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not
to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
9 ¶Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world,
and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto
Dalmatia.
11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for
he is profitable to me for the ministry.
12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest,
bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him
according to his works:
15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our
words.
16 ¶At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook
me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me;
that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the
Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the
lion.
18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will
preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever
and ever. Amen.
19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum
sick.
21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee,
and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you.
Amen.

of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul
was brought before Nero the second time.>>
