And there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.\n15 And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.\n16 And David lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand, turned against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground.\n17 And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father's house: and let not thy people be destroyed.\n18 And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.\n19 And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord.\n20 Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.\n21 And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground.\n22 And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.\n23 And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.\n24 And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.\n25 So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just weight.\n26 And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending fire from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.\n27 And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath.\n28 And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Oman the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.\n29 But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon.\n**30 And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel of the Lord.**\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Do you know the book and chapter where \"Is it credible then that God should dwell with men on the earth?

And if thou knowest that there are industrious men among them, make them rulers over my cattle.\n7 After this Joseph brought in his father to the king, and presented him before him: and he blessed him.\n8 And being asked by him: How many are the days of the years of thy life?\n9 He answered: The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years, few, and evil, and they are not come up to the days of the pilgrimage of my fathers.\n10 And blessing the king, he went out.\n11 But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded.\n12 And he nourished them, and all his father's house, allowing food to every one.\n13 For in the whole world there was want of bread, and a famine had oppressed the land: more especially of Egypt and Chanaan.\n14 Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it into the king's treasure.\n15 And when the buyers wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no money.\n16 And he answered them: Bring me your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no money.\n17 And when they had brought them, he gave them food in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses and he maintained them that year for the exchange of their cattle.\n18 And they came the second year, and said to him: We will not hide from our lord, how that our money is spent, and our cattle also are gone: neither art thou ignorant that we have nothing now left but our bodies and our lands.\n19 Why therefore shall we die before thy eyes? we will be thine, both we and our lands: buy us to be the king's servants, and give us seed, lest for want of tillers the land be turned into a wilderness.\n20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, every man selling his possessions, because of the greatness of the famine. And he brought it into Pharao's hands:\n21 And all its people from one end of the borders of Egypt, even to the other end thereof,\n22 Except the land of the priests, which had been given them by the king: to whom also a certain allowance of food was given out of the public stores, and therefore they were not forced to sell their possessions.\n**23 Then Joseph said to the people: Behold as you see, both you and your lands belong to Pharao: take seed and sow the fields,**\n24 That you may have corn.

And he gave him to his mother.\n**16 And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.**\n17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the country round about.\n18 And John's disciples told him of all these things.\n19 And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?\n20 And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?\n21 (And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases, and hurts, and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.)\n22 And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached:\n23 And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me.\n24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind?\n25 But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately, are in the houses of kings.\n26 But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.\n27 This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.\n28 For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.\n29 And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John's baptism.\n30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.\n31 And the Lord said: Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?\n32 They are like to children sitting in the marketplace, and speaking one to another, and saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have mourned, and you have not wept.\n33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He hath a devil.\n34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking: and you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.\n35 And wisdom is justified by all her children.\n36 And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.\n37 And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment;\n38 And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.\n39 And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.\n40 And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it.\n41 A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.\n42 And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most?\n43 Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.\n44 And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she with tears hath washed my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them.\n45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.\n46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet.\n47 Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less.\n48 And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee.\n49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also?\n50 And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Tell me what Micah 7:14 says", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Micah 7:14 from the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) reads:\n\"Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book and chapter for \"Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You're looking at a verse from *Psalm*, chapter *25*.\n\nHere's what the chapter says:\n*Psalm Chapter 25*\n1 Unto the end, a psalm for David.

And there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.**\n15 And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.\n16 And David lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand, turned against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground.\n17 And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father's house: and let not thy people be destroyed.\n18 And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.\n19 And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord.\n20 Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.\n21 And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground.\n22 And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.\n23 And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.\n24 And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.\n25 So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just weight.\n26 And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending fire from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.\n27 And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath.\n28 And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Oman the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.\n29 But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon.\n30 And David could not go to the altar there to

And Jephte spoke all his words before the Lord in Maspha.\n12 And he sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, to say in his name, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me, to waste my land?\n13 And he answered them: I Because Israel took away my land when he came up out of Egypt, from the confines of the Arnon unto the Jaboc and the Jordan: now therefore restore the same peaceably to me.\n14 And Jephte again sent word by them, and commanded them to say to the king of Ammon:\n15 Thus saith Jephte: Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:\n16 But when they came up out of Egypt, he walked through the desert to the Red Sea and came into Cades.\n17 And he sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying: Suffer me to pass through thy land. But he would not condescend to his request. He sent also to the king of Moab, who likewise refused to give him passage. He abode therefore in Cades,\n18 And went round the land of Edom at the side, and the land of Moab: and came over against the east coast of the land of Moab, and camped on the other side of the Arnon: and he would not enter the bounds of Moab.\n19 So Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon, and they said to him: Suffer me to pass through thy land to the river.\n20 But he also despising the words of Israel, suffered him not to pass through his borders: but gathering an infinite multitude, went out against him to Jasa, and made strong opposition.\n21 And the Lord delivered him with all his army into the hands of Israel, and he slew him, and possessed all the land of the Amorrhite the inhabitant of that country,\n22 And all the coasts thereof from the Arnon to the Jaboc, and from the wilderness to the Jordan.\n23 So the Lord the God of Israel destroyed the Amorrhite, his people of Israel fighting against him, and wilt thou now possess this land?\n24 Are not those things which thy god Chamos possesseth, due to thee by right?

Why have you for so long a time attempted nothing about this claim?\n27 Therefore I do not trespass against thee, but thou wrongest me by declaring an unjust war against me. The Lord be judge and decide this day between Israel and the children of Ammon.\n28 And the king of the children of Ammon would not hearken to the words of Jephte, which he sent him by the messengers.\n29 Therefore the spirit of the Lord came upon Jephte, and going round Galaad, and Manasses, and Maspha of Galaad, and passing over from thence to the children of Ammon,\n30 He made a vow to the Lord, saying: If thou wilt deliver the children of Ammon into my hands,\n31 Whosoever shall first come forth out of the doors of my house, and shall meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, the same will I offer a holocaust to the Lord.\n32 And Jephte passed over to the children of Ammon, to fight against them: and the Lord delivered them into his hands.\n33 And he smote them from Aroer till you come to Mennith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel, which is set with vineyards, with a very great slaughter: and the children of Ammon were humbled by the children of Israel.\n34 And when Jephte returned into Maspha to his house, his only daughter met him with timbrels and with dances: for he had no other children.\n35 And when he saw her, he rent his garments, and said: Alas! my daughter, thou hast deceived me, and thou thyself art deceived: for I have opened my mouth to the Lord, and I can do no other thing.\n36 And she answered him: My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth to the Lord, do unto me whatsoever thou hast promised, since the victory hath been granted to thee, and revenge of thy enemies.\n37 And she said to her father: Grant me only this which I desire: Let me go, that I may go about the mountains for two months, and may bewail my virginity with my companions.\n38 And he answered her: Go. And he sent her away for two months.

am with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.\n12 And I will shew mercies to you, and will take pity on you, and will cause you to dwell in your own land.\n13 But if you say: We will not dwell in this land, neither will we hearken to the voice of the Lord our God,\n14 Saying: No, but we will go into the land of Egypt: where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor suffer hunger: and there we will dwell.\n15 For this now hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Juda: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces to go into Egypt, and enter in to dwell there:\n16 The sword which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt: and the famine, whereof you are afraid, shall cleave to you in Egypt, and there you shall die.\n17 And all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt, to dwell there, shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: none of them shall remain, nor escape from the face of the evil that I will bring upon them.\n18 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my indignation hath been kindled against the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my indignation be kindled against you, when you shall enter into Egypt, and you shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach: and you shall see this place no more.\n19 This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O ye remnant of Juda: Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have adjured you this day.\n20 For you have deceived your own souls: for you sent me to the Lord our God, saying: Pray for us to the Lord our God, and according to all that the Lord our God shall say to thee, so declare unto us, and we will do it.\n21 And now I have declared it to you this day, and you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, with regard to all the things for which he hath sent me to you.\n22 Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence in the place to which you desire to go to dwell there.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the chapter and book tied to \"Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him?\"?",

Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.\n30 Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,\n31 As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings.\n32 And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.\n33 And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel.\n34 After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook of the law.\n35 He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt among them.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What are the chapter and verse numbers for \"Not so much as one word, which he had promised to perform unto them, was made void, but all came to pass.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The passage \"Not so much as one word, which he had promised to perform unto them, was made void, but all came to pass.\" comes from Joshua 21:43 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What is written in Leviticus 22:24?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse in Leviticus 22:24 of the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) goes:\n\"You shall not offer to the Lord any beast that hath the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away: neither shall you do any such thing in your land.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you provide the book, chapter, and verse for \"And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom.

without dread.\n2 For the sins of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.\n3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a violent shower, which bringeth a famine.\n4 They that forsake the law, praise the wicked man: they that keep it, are incensed against him.\n5 Evil men think not on judgment: but they that seek after the Lord, take notice of all things.\n6 Better is the poor man walking in his simplicity, than the rich in crooked ways.\n7 He that keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that feedeth gluttons, shameth his father.\n8 He that heapeth together riches by usury and loan, gathereth them for him that will be bountiful to the poor.\n9 He that turneth away his ears from hearing the law, his prayer shall be as abomination.\n10 He that deceiveth the just in a wicked way, shall fall in his own destruction: and the upright shall possess his goods.\n11 The rich man seemeth to himself wise: but the poor man that is prudent shall search him out.\n12 In the joy of the just there is great glory: when the wicked reign, men are ruined.\n13 He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy.\n14 Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.\n15 As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people.\n16 A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.\n17 A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.\n18 He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.\n19 He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness shall be filled with poverty.\n20 A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent.\n21 He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth.\n22 A man, that maketh haste to be rich, and

And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word.\n46 And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater.\n47 But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him,\n48 And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater.\n49 And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.\n50 And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.\n**51 And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.**\n52 And he sent messengers before his face; and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.\n53 And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.\n54 And when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?\n55 And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are.\n56 The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save.

evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Juda: and behold they are desolate this day, and there is not an inhabitant in them:\n3 Because of the wickedness which they have committed, to provoke me to wrath, and to go and offer sacrifice, and worship other gods, which neither they, nor you, nor your fathers knew.\n4 And I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising

Wherefore my indignation and my fury was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and they are turned to desolation and waste, as at this day.\n7 And now

no remnant should be left you:\n**8 In that you provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, by sacrificing to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you are come to dwell there: and that

and your evils, and the evils of your wives, that they have done in the land of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?\n10 They are not cleansed even to this day: neither have they feared, nor walked in the law of the Lord, nor in my commandments, which I set before you and your fathers.\n11 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will set my face upon you for evil: and I will destroy all Juda.\n12 And I will take the remnant of Juda that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt, and to dwell there: and they shall be all consumed in the land of Egypt: they shall fall by the sword, and by the famine: and they shall be consumed from the least even to the greatest, by the sword, and by the famine shall they die: and they shall be for an execration, and for a wonder, and for a curse, and for a reproach.\n13 And I will visit them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have visited Jerusalem by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence.\n14 And there shall be none that shall escape, and remain of the remnant of the Jews that are gone to sojourn in the land of Egypt: and that shall return into the land of Juda, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: there shall none return but they that shall flee.\n15 Then all the men that knew that their wives sacrificed to other gods: and all the women of whom there stood by a great multitude, and all the people of them that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Phatures, answered Jeremias, saying:\n16 As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee:\n17 But we will certainly do every word that shall proceed out of our own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.\n18 But since we left off to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword, and by famine.\n19 And if we offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and pour out drink offerings to her: did we make cakes to worship her, to pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?\n20 And Jeremias spoke to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying:\n21 Was it not the sacrifice that you offered in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and Sour fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, which the Lord hath remembered, and hath it not entered into his heart?\n22 So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed: therefore your land is become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.\n23 Because you have sacrificed to idols, and have sinned against the Lord: and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have not walked in his law, and in his commandments, and in his testimonies: therefore are these evils come upon you, as at this day.\n24 And Jeremias said to all the people, and to all the women: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt:\n25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, saying: You and your wives have spoken with your mouth, and fulfilled with your hands, saying: Let us perform our vows which we have made, to offer sacrifice to the queen

Egypt: Behold I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord: that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Juda, in the land of Egypt, saying: The Lord God liveth.\n27 Behold I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Juda that are in the land of Egypt, shall be consumed, by the sword, and by famine, till there be an end of them.\n28 And a few men that shall flee from the sword, shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Juda: and all the remnant of Juda that are gone into the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.\n29 And this shall be a sign to you, saith the Lord, that I will punish you in this place: that you may know that my words shall be accomplished indeed against you for evil.\n30 Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver Pharao Ephree king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life: as I delivered Sedecias king of Juda into

And while they stayed with Balaam, God came and said to him:\n9 What mean these men that are with thee?\n10 He answered: Balac the son of Sephor king of the Moabites hath sent to me,\n11 Saying: Behold a people that is come out of Egypt, hath covered the face of the land: come and curse them, if by any means I may fight with them and drive them away.\n12 And God said to Balaam: Thou shalt not go with them, nor shalt thou curse the people: because it is blessed.\n13 And he rose in the morning and said to the princes: Go into your country, because the Lord hath forbid me to come with you.\n14 The princes returning, said to Balac: Balaam would not come with us.\n15 Then he sent many more and more noble than he had sent before:\n16 Who, when they were come to Balaam, said: Thus saith Balac the son of Sephor, Delay not to come to me:\n17 For I am ready to honour thee, and will give thee whatsoever thou wilt: come and curse this people.\n18 Balaam answered: If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot alter the word of the Lord my God, to speak either more or less.\n19 I pray you to stay here this night also, that I may know what the Lord will answer me once more.\n20 God therefore came to Balaam in the night, and said to him: It these men be come to call thee, arise and go with them: yet so, that thou do what I shall command thee.\n21 Balaam arose in the morning, and saddling his ass went with them.\n22 And God was angry.

Maccabees*, chapter *13*.\n\nTake a look at the whole chapter:\n*1 Maccabees Chapter 13*\n1 Now Simon heard that Tryphon was gathering together a very great army, to invade the land of Juda, and to destroy it.\n2 And seeing that the people was in dread, and in fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and assembled the people:\n3 And exhorted them, saying: You know what great battles I and my brethren, and the house of my father, have fought for the laws, and the sanctuary, and the distresses that we have seen:\n4 By reason whereof all my brethren have lost their lives for Israel's sake, and I am left alone.\n5 And now far be it from me to spare my life in any time of trouble: for I am not better than my brethren.\n6 I will avenge then my nation and the sanctuary, and our children, and wives: for all the heathens are gathered together to destroy us out of mere malice.\n7 And the spirit of the people was enkindled as soon as they heard these words.\n8 And they answered with a loud voice, saying: Thou art our leader in the place of Judas, and Jonathan thy brother.\n9 Fight thou our battles, and we will do whatsoever thou shalt say to us.\n10 So gathering together all the men of war, he made haste to finish all the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about.\n11 And he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and with him a new army into Joppe, and he cast out them that were in it, and himself remained there.\n12 And Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great army, to invade the land of Juda, and Jonathan was with him in custody.\n13 But Simon pitched in Addus, over against the plain.\n14 And when Tryphon understood that Simon was risen up in the place of his brother Jonathan, and that he meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers to him,\n15 Saying: We have detained thy brother Jonathan for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of.\n16 But now send a hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will release him.\n17 Now Simon knew that he spoke deceitfully to him, nevertheless he ordered the money, and the children to be sent: lest he should bring upon himself a great hatred of the people of Israel, who might have said:\n18 Because he sent not the money, and the children, therefore is he lost.\n19 So he sent the children, and the hundred talents: and he lied, and did not let Jonathan go.\n20 And after this Tryphon entered within the country, to destroy it: and they went about by the way that leadeth to Ador: and Simon and his army marched to every place whithersoever they went.\n**21 And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and send them victuals.**\n22 And Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, and he came not into the country of Galaad.\n23 And when he approached to Bascama, he slew Jonathan and his sons there.\n24 And Tryphon returned, and went into his own country.\n25 And Simon sent, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, in the city of his fathers.\n26 And all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation: and they mourned for him many days.\n27 And Simon built over the sepulchre of his father and of his brethren, a building lofty to the sight, of polished stone behind and before:\n28 And he set up seven pyramids one against another for his father and his mother, and his four brethren:\n29 And round about these he set great pillars: and upon the pillars arms for a perpetual memory: and by the arms ships carved, which might be seen by all that sailed on the sea.\n30 This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin even unto this day.\n31 But Tryphon when he was upon a journey with the young king Antiochus, treacherously slew him.\n32 And he reigned in his place, and put on the crown of Asia: and brought great evils upon the land.\n33 And Simon built up the strong holds of Judea, fortifying them with high towers, and great walls, and gates, and bars: and he stored up victuals in the fortresses.\n34 And Simon chose men and sent to king Demetrius, to the end that he should grant an immunity to the land: for all that Tryphon did was to spoil.\n35 And king Demetrius in answer to this request, wrote a letter in this manner:\n36 King Demetrius to Simon the high priest, and friend of kings, and to the ancients, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.\n37 The golden crown, and the palm, which you sent, we have received: and we are ready to make a firm peace with you, and to write to the king's chief officers to release you the things that we have released.\n38 For all that we have decreed in your favour, shall stand in force. The strong holds that you have built, shall be your own.\n39 And as for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it, and the crown which you owed: and if any other thing were taxed in Jerusalem, now let it not be taxed.\n40 And if any of you be fit to be enrolled among ours, let them be enrolled, and let there be peace between us.\n41 In the year one hundred and seventy the yoke of the Gentiles was taken off from Israel.\n42 And the people of Israel began to write in the instruments, and public records, The first year under Simon the high priest, the great captain and prince of the Jews.\n43 In those days Simon besieged Gaza, and camped round about it, and he made engines, and set them to the city, and he struck one tower, and took it.\n44 And they that were within the engine leaped into the city: and there was a great uproar in the city.\n45 And they that were in the city went up with their wives and children upon the wall, with their garments rent, and they cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace.\n46 And they said: Deal not with us according to our evil deeds, but according to thy mercy.\n47 And Simon being moved, did not destroy them: but yet he cast them out of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein there had been idols, and then he entered into it with hymns, blessing the Lord.\n48 And having cast out of it all uncleanness, he placed in it men that should observe the law: and he fortified it, and made it his habitation.\n49 But they that were in the castle of Jerusalem were hindered from going out and coming into the country, and from buying and selling: and they were straitened with hunger, and many of them perished through famine.\n50 And they cried to Simon for peace, and he granted it to them: and he cast them out from thence, and cleansed the castle from uncleannesses.\n51 And they entered into it the three and twentieth day of the second month, in the year one hundred and seventy-one, with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and harps, and cymbals, and psalteries, and hymns, and canticles, because the great enemy was destroyed out of Israel.\n52 And he ordained that these days should be kept every year with gladness.\n53 And he fortified the mountain of the temple that was near the castle, and he dwelt there himself, and they that were with him.\n54 And Simon saw that John his son was a valiant man for war: and he made him captain of all the forces: and he dwelt in Gazara.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Scripture from 2 Thessalonians 3:14?", "role": "user" }, { "content":

held his peace till they came back.\n6 And when Hemor the father of Sichem was come out to speak to Jacob,\n7 Behold his sons came from the field: and hearing what had passed, they were exceeding angry, because he had done a foul thing in Israel, and committed an unlawful act, in ravishing Jacob's daughter,\n8 And Hemor spoke to them: The soul of my son Sichem has a longing for your daughter: give her him to wife:\n9 And let us contract marriages one with another: give us your daughters and take you our daughters,\n10 And dwell with us: the land is at your command, till, trade, and possess

what you shall demand: only give me this damsel to wife.\n13 The sons of Jacob answered Sichem and his father deceitfully, being enraged at the deflowering of their sister:\n14 We cannot do what you demand, nor give our sister to one that is uncircumcised, which with us is unlawful and abominable.\n15 But in this we may be allied with you, if you will be like us, and all the male sex among you be circumcised:\n16 Then will we mutually give and take your daughters, and ours: and we will dwell with you, and will be one people:\n17 But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart:\n18 Their offer pleased Hemor, and Sichem his son:\n19 And the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required, for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father's house.\n20 And going into the gate of the city they spoke to the people:\n21 These men are peaceable and willing to dwell with us: let them trade in the land, and till it, which being large and wide wanteth men to till it: we shall take their daughters for wives, and we will give them ours.\n22 One thing there is for which so great a good is deferred: We must circumcise every male among us, following the manner of the nation.\n23 And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours: only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people.\n24 And they all agreed, and circumcised all the males.\n25 And behold the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, taking their swords, entered boldly into the city, and slew all the men:\n26 And they killed also Hemor and Sichem, and took away their sister Dina, out of Sichem's house.\n27 And when they were gone out, the other sons of Jacob came upon the slain; and plundered the city in revenge of the rape.\n28 And they took their sheep and their herds and their asses, wasting all they had in their houses and in the fields.\n29 And their children and wives they took captive,\n30 And when they had boldly perpetrated these things, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: You have troubled me, and

But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.\n7 The man indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.\n**8 For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.**\n9 For the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.\n10 Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.\n11 But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.\n12 For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God.\n13 You yourselves judge: doth it become a woman, to pray unto God uncovered?\n14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?\n15 But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.\n16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the church of God.\n17 Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.\n18 For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I believe it.\n19 For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you.\n20 When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper.\n21 For every one taketh before his own supper to eat.

Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.\n23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread.\n24 And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me.\n25 In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.\n26 For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.\n27 Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.\n28 But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice.\n29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.\n30 Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep.\n31 But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.\n32 But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.\n33 Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.\n34 If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment.

And now where is the king's spear, and the cup of water, which was at his head?\n17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said: It is my voice, my lord the king.\n18 And he said: Wherefore doth my lord persecute his servant? What have I done? or what evil is there in my hand?\n19 Now therefore hear, I pray thee, my lord the king, the words of thy servant: If the Lord stir thee up against me, let him accept of sacrifice: but if the sons of men, they are cursed in the sight of the Lord, who have cast me out this day, that I should not dwell in the inheritance of the Lord, saying: Go, serve strange gods.\n20 And now let not my blood be shed upon the earth before the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as the partridge is hunted in the mountains.\n21 And Saul said: I have sinned, return, my son David, for I will no more do thee harm, because my life hath been precious in thy eyes this day: for it appeareth that I have done foolishly, and have been ignorant in very many things.\n22 And David answering, said: Behold the king's spear: let one of the king's servants come over and fetch it.\n23 And the Lord will reward every one according to his justice, and his faithfulness: for the Lord hath delivered thee this day into my hand, and I would not put forth my hand against the Lord's anointed.\n24 And as thy life hath been much set by this day in my eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me from all distress.\n25 Then Saul said to David: Blessed art thou, my son David: and truly doing thou shalt do, and prevailing thou shalt prevail.

Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days:\n15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels.\n16 And there was war between Asa, and Baasa king of Israel all their days.\n**17 And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in, of the side of Asa king of Juda.**\n18 Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad son of Tabremon the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:\n19 There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.\n20 Benadad hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth, that is all the land of Nephtali.\n21 And when Baasa had heard this, he left off building Rama, and returned into Thersa.\n22 But king Asa sent word into all Juda, saying: Let no man be excused: and they took away the stones from Rama, and the timber thereof wherewith Baasa had been building, and with them Asa built Gabaa of Benjamin, and Maspha.\n23 But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.\n24 And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Josaphat his son reigned in his place.\n25 But Nadab the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel the second year of Asa king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel two years.\n26 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.\n27 And Baasa the son of Ahias of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and slew him in Gebbethon, which is a city of the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel besieged Gebbethon.\n28 So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa king of Juda, and reigned in his place.\n29 And when he was king he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite:\n30 Because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had sinned, and wherewith he had made Israel to sin, and for the offence, wherewith he provoked the Lord the God of Israel.\n31 But the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?\n32 And there was war between Asa and Baasa the king of Israel all their days.\n33 In the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Ahias reigned over all Israel, in Thersa, four and twenty years.\n34 And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Read me 2 Samuel 22:30", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**Old Testament**\n*2 Samuel 22:30 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"For in thee I will run girded: in my God I will leap over the wall.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "I need the text of Daniel 13:29", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Daniel 13:29 from the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) reads:\n\"And they said before the people: Send to Susanna daughter of Helcias the wife of Joakim.

For I have charged my young men, not to molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of the waters whereof the servants drink.\n10 She fell on her face and worshipping upon the ground, said to him: Whence cometh this to me, that I should find grace before thy eyes, and that thou shouldst vouchsafe to take notice of me a woman of another country?\n11 And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore.\n12 The Lord render unto thee for thy work, and mayest thou receive a full reward of the Lord the God of Israel, to whom thou art come, and under whose wings thou art fled.\n13 And she said: I have found grace in thy eyes, my lord, who hast comforted me and hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, who am not like to one of thy maids.\n14 And Booz said to her: At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat at the side of the reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and took the leavings.\n15 And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before.

Tell me therefore the dream, that I may know that you also give a true interpretation thereof.\n10 Then the Chaldeans answered before the king, and said: There is no man upon earth, that can accomplish thy word, O king, neither doth any king, though great and mighty, ask such a thing of any diviner, or wise man, or Chaldean.\n11 For the thing that thou askest, O king, is difficult; nor can any one be found that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men.\n12 Upon hearing this, the king in fury, and in great wrath, commanded that all the wise men of Babylon should be put to death.\n**13 And the decree being gone forth, the wise men were slain: and Daniel and his companions were sought for, to be put to death.**\n14 Then Daniel inquired concerning the law and the sentence, of Arioch the general of the king's army, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon.\n15 And he asked him that had received the orders of the king, why so cruel a sentence was gone forth from the face of the king. And when Arioch had told the matter to Daniel,\n16 Daniel went in and desired of the king, that he would give him time to resolve the question and declare it to the king.\n17 And he went into his house, and told the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias his companions:\n18 To the end that they should ask mercy at the face of the God of heaven concerning this secret, and that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.\n19 Then was the mystery revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night: and Daniel blessed the God of heaven,\n20 And speaking he said: Blessed be the name of the Lord from eternity and for evermore: for wisdom and fortitude are his.\n21 And he changeth times and ages: taketh away kingdoms and establisheth them, giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding.\n22 He revealeth deep and hidden things, and knoweth what is in darkness: and light is with him.\n23 To thee, O God of our fathers, I give thanks, and I praise thee: because thou hast given me wisdom and strength: and now thou hast shewn me what we desired of thee, for thou hast made known to us, the king's discourse.\n24 After this Daniel went in to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke thus to him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will tell the solution to the king.\n25 Then Arioch in haste brought in Daniel to the king, and said to him: I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Juda, that will resolve the question to the king.\n26 The king answered, and said to Daniel, whose name was Baltassar: Thinkest thou indeed that thou canst tell me the dream that I saw, and the interpretation thereof?\n27 And Daniel made answer before the king, and said: The secret that the king desireth to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, or the diviners, or the soothsayers can declare to the king.\n28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth mysteries, who hath shewn to thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, what is to come to pass in the latter times. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:\n29 Thou, O king, didst begin to think in thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth mysteries shewed thee what shall come to pass.\n30 To me also this secret is revealed, not by any wisdom that I have more than all men alive: but that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and thou mightest know the thoughts of thy mind.\n31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold there was as it were a great statue: this statue, which was great and high, tall of stature, stood before thee, and the look thereof was terrible.\n32 The head of this statue was of fine gold, but the breast and the arms of silver, and the belly and the thighs of brass:\n33 And the legs of iron, the feet part of iron and part of clay.\n34 Thus thou sawest, till a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands: and it struck the statue upon the feet thereof that were of iron and of clay, and broke them in pieces.\n35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of a summer's thrashingfloor, and they were carried away by the wind: and there was no place found for them: but the stone that struck the statue, became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.\n36 This is the dream: we will also tell the interpretation thereof before thee, O king.\n37 Thou art a king of kings: and the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, and strength, and power, and glory:\n38 And all places wherein the children of men, and the beasts of the field do dwell: he hath also given the birds of the air into thy hand, and hath put all things under thy power: thou therefore art the head of gold.\n39 And after thee shall rise up another kingdom, inferior to thee, of silver: and another third kingdom of brass, which shall rule over all the world.\n40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as iron. As iron breaketh into pieces, and subdueth all things, so shall that break and destroy all these.\n41 And whereas thou sawest the feet, and the toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron: the kingdom shall be divided, but yet it shall take its origin from the iron, according as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay.\n42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.\n43 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall be mingled indeed together with the seed of man, but they shall not stick fast one to another, as iron cannot be mixed with clay.\n44 But in the days of those kingdoms the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people, and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms, and itself shall stand for ever.\n45 According as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke in pieces, the clay, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewn the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof is faithful.\n46 Then king Nabuchodonosor fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense.\n47 And the king spoke to Daniel, and said: Verily your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and a revealer of hidden things: seeing thou couldst discover this secret.\n48 Then the king advanced Daniel to a high station, and gave him many and great gifts: and he made him governor over all the provinces of Babylon, and chief of the magistrates over all the wise men of Babylon.\n49 And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago over the works of the province of Babylon: but Daniel himself was in the king's palace.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Show me Deuteronomy 9:20", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the Old Testament, in Deuteronomy 9:20 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"And he was exceeding angry against Aaron also, and would have destroyed him, and I prayed in like manner for him.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book, chapter, and verse for \"Moses said to God: Lo, I shall go to the children of Israel, and say to them: The God of your fathers hath sent me to you.

And he made himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.\n6 Neither did his father rebuke him at any time, saying: Why hast thou done this? And he also was very beautiful, the next in birth after Absalom.\n7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Sarvia, and with Abiathar the priest, who furthered Adonias's side.\n8 But Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Semei, and Rei, and the strength of David's army was not with Adonias.\n9 And Adonias having slain rams and calves, and all fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which was near the fountain Rogel, invited all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Juda, the king's servants:\n10 But Nathan the prophet, and Banaias, and all the valiant men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not.\n11 And Nathan said to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon: Hast thou not heard that Adonias the son of Haggith reigneth, and our lord David knoweth it not?\n12 Now then come, take my counsel and save thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon.\n13 Go, and get thee in to king David, and say to him: Didst not thou, my lord O king, swear to me thy handmaid, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then doth Adonias reign?\n14 And while thou art yet speaking there with the king, I will come in after thee, and will fill up thy words.\n15 So Bethsabee went in to the king into the chamber: now the king was very old, and Abisag the Sunamitess ministered to him.\n16 Bethsabee bowed herself, and worshipped the king. And the king said to her: What is thy will?\n17 She answered and said: My lord, thou didst swear to thy handmaid by the Lord thy God, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.\n18 And behold now Adonias reigneth, and thou, my lord the king, knowest nothing of it.\n19 He hath killed oxen, and all fat cattle, and many rams, and invited all the king's sons, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the general of the army: but Solomon thy servant he invited not.\n20 And now, my lord O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldst tell them, who shall sit on thy throne, my lord the king, after thee.\n21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.\n22 As she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came.\n23 And they told the king, saying: Nathan the prophet is here.

And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel?\n12 And one of his servants said: No one, my lord O king: but Eliseus the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber.\n13 And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send, and take him. And they told him, saying: Behold he is in Dothan.\n14 Therefore he sent thither horses and chariots, and the strength of an army: and they came by night, and beset the city.\n15 And the servant of the man of God rising early, went out, and saw an army round about the city, and horses and chariots: and he told him, saying: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, what shall we do?\n16 But he answered: Fear not: for there are more with us than with them.\n17 And Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw: and behold the mountain was full of horses, and chariots of fire round about Eliseus.\n18 And the enemies came down to him, but Eliseus prayed to the Lord, saying: Strike, I beseech thee, this people with blindness. And the Lord struck them with blindness, according to the word of Eliseus.\n19 And Eliseus said to them: This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will shew you the man whom you seek. So he led them into Samaria.\n20 And when they were come into Samaria, Eliseus said: Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.\n21 And the king of Israel said to Eliseus, when he saw them: My father, shall I kill them?\n22 And he said: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.\n23 And a great provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank, and he let them go, and they went away to their master, and the robbers of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.\n24 And it came to pass after these things, that Benadad king of Syria gathered together all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.\n25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and so long did the siege continue, till the head of an ass was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cabe of pigeon's dung, for five pieces of silver.\n**26 And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying: Save me, my lord O king.**\n27 And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered:\n28 This woman said to me: Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.\n29 So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day: Give thy son that we may eat him. And she hath hid her son.\n30 When the king heard this, he rent his garments, and passed by upon the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth which he wore within next to his flesh.\n31 And the king said: May God do so and so to me, and may he add more, if the head of Eliseus the son of Saphat shall stand on him this day.\n32 But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then, when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master's feet is behind him.\n33 While he was yet speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was coming to him.

in his law.\n22 And strangers stood up against him, and through envy the men that were with Dathan and Abiron, compassed him about in the wilderness, and the congregation of Core in their wrath.\n23 The Lord God saw and it pleased him not, and they were consumed in his wrathful indignation.\n24 He wrought wonders upon them, and consumed them with a flame of fire.\n25 And he added glory to Aaron, and gave him an inheritance, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase of the earth.\n26 He prepared them bread in the first place unto fulness: for the sacrifices also of the Lord they shall eat, which he gave to him, and to his seed.\n27 But he shall not inherit among the people in the land, and he hath no portion among the people: for he himself is his portion and inheritance.\n28 Phinees the son of Eleazar is the third in glory, by imitating him in the fear of the Lord:\n29 And he stood up in the shameful fall of the people: in the goodness and readiness of his soul he appeased God for Israel.\n30 Therefore he made to him a covenant of peace, to be the prince of the sanctuary, and of his people, that the dignity of priesthood should be to him and to his seed for ever.\n31 And a covenant to David the king, the son of Jesse of the tribe of Juda, an inheritance to him and to his seed, that he might give wisdom into our heart to judge his people in justice, that

you've got in mind is from *1 Maccabees*, chapter *10*.\n\nHere's the full rundown of the chapter:\n*1 Maccabees Chapter 10*\n1 Now in the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander the son of Antiochus, surnamed the Illustrious, came up and took Ptolemais, and they received him, and he reigned there.\n2 And king Demetrius heard of it, and gathered together an exceeding great army, and went forth against him to fight.\n3 And Demetrius sent a letter to Jonathan with peaceable words, to magnify him.\n4 For he said: Let us first make a peace with him, before he make one with Alexander against us.\n5 For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation.\n6 And he gave him authority to gather together an army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him.\n7 And Jonathan came to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the hearing of all the people, and of them that were in the castle.\n8 And they were struck with great fear, because they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an army.\n9 And the hostages were delivered to Jonathan, and he restored them to their parents.\n10 And Jonathan dwelt in Jerusalem, and began to build, and to repair the city.\n11 And he ordered workmen to build the walls, and mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification: and so they did.\n12 And the strangers that were in the strong holds, which Bacchides had built, fled away.\n13 And every man left his place, and departed into his own country:\n14 Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them.\n15 And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he, and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured.\n16 And he said: Shall we find such another man? now therefore we will make him our friend and our confederate.\n17 So he wrote a letter, and sent it to him according to these words, saying:\n18 King Alexander to his brother Jonathan, greeting.\n19 We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and fit to be our friend:\n20 Now therefore we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold,) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us.\n21 Then Jonathan put on the holy vestment in the seventh month, in the year one hundred and threescore, at the feast day of the tabernacles: and he gathered together an army, and made a great number of arms.\n22 And Demetrius heard these words, and was exceeding sorry, and said:\n23 What is this that we have done, that Alexander hath prevented us to gain the friendship of the Jews to strengthen himself?\n24 I also will write to them words of request, and offer dignities, and gifts: that they may be with me to aid me.\n25 And he wrote to them in these words: King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews, greeting.\n26 Whereas you have kept covenant with us, and have continued in our friendship, and have not joined with our enemies, we have heard of it, and are glad.\n27 Wherefore now continue still to keep fidelity towards us, and we will reward you with good things, for what you have done in our behalf.\n28 And we will remit to you many charges, and will give you gifts.\n29 And now I free you, and all the Jews from tributes, and I release you from the customs of salt, and remit the crowns, and the thirds of the seed:\n30 And the half of the fruit of trees, which is my share, I leave to you from this day forward, so that it shall not be taken of the land of Juda, and of the three cities that are added thereto out of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth and for ever:\n31 And let Jerusalem be holy and free, with the borders thereof: and let the tenths, and tributes be for itself.\n32 I yield up also the power of the castle that is in Jerusalem, and I give it to the high priest, to place therein such men as he shall choose to keep it.\n33 And every soul of the Jews that hath been carried captive from the land of Juda in all my kingdom, I set at liberty freely, that all be discharged from tributes even of their cattle.\n34 And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom:\n35 And no man shall have power to do any thing against them, or to molest any of them, in any cause.\n36 And let there be enrolled in the king's army to the number of thirty thousand of the Jews: and allowance shall be made them as is due to all the king's forces, and certain of them shall be appointed to be in the fortresses of the great king:\n37 And some of them shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, that are of trust, and let the governors be taken from among themselves, and let them walk in their own laws, as the king hath commanded in the land of Juda.\n38 And the three cities that are added to Judea, out of the country of Samaria, let them be accounted with Judea: that they may be under one, and obey no other authority but that of the high priest:\n39 Ptolemais, and the confines thereof, I give as a free gift to the holy places, that are in Jerusalem, for the necessary charges of the holy things.\n40 And I give every year fifteen thousand sicles of silver out of the king's accounts, of what belongs to me:\n**41 And all that is above, which they that were over the affairs the years before, had not paid, from this time they shall give it to the works of the house.**\n42 Moreover the five thousand sicles of silver which they received from the account of the holy places, every year, shall also belong to the priests that execute the ministry.\n43 And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free.\n44 For the building also, or repairing the works of the holy places, the charges shall be given out of the king's revenues:\n45 For the building also of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, the charges shall be given out of the king's account, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.\n46 Now when Jonathan, and the people heard these words, they gave no credit to them nor received them: because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel, for he had afflicted them exceedingly.\n47 And their inclinations were towards Alexander, because he had been the chief promoter of peace in their regard, and him they always helped.\n48 And king Alexander gathered together a great army, and moved his camp near to Demetrius.\n49 And the two kings joined battle, and the army of Demetrius fled away, and Alexander pursued after him, and pressed them close.\n50 And the battle was hard fought till the sun went down: and Demetrius was slain that day.\n51 And Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt, with words to this effect, saying:\n52 Forasmuch as I am returned into my kingdom, and am set in the throne of my ancestors and have gotten the dominion, and have overthrown Demetrius, and possessed our country,\n53 And have joined battle with him, and both he and his army have been destroyed by us, and we are placed in the throne of his kingdom:\n54 Now therefore let us make friendship one with another: and give me now thy daughter to wife, and I will be thy son in law, and I will give both thee and her gifts worthy of thee.\n55 And king Ptolemee answered, saying: Happy is the day wherein thou didst return to the land of thy fathers, and sattest in the throne of their kingdom.\n56 And now I will do to thee as thou hast written: but meet me at Ptolemais, that we may see one another, and I may give her to thee as thou hast said.\n57 So Ptolemee went out of Egypt, with Cleopatra his daughter, and he came to Ptolemais in the hundred and sixty-second year.\n58 And king Alexander met him, and he gave him his daughter Cleopatra: and he celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais, with great glory, after the manner of kings.\n59 And king Alexander wrote to Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.\n60 And he went honourably to Ptolemais, and he met there the two kings, and he gave them much silver, and gold, and presents: and he found favour in their sight.\n61 And some pestilent men of Israel, men of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him to accuse him: and the king gave no heed to them.\n62 And he commanded that Jonathan's garments should be taken off, and that he should be clothed with purple: and they did so. And the king made him sit by himself.\n63 And he said to his princes: Go out with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.\n64 So when his accusers saw his glory proclaimed, and him clothed with purple, they all fled away.\n65 And the king magnified him, and enrolled him amongst his chief friends, and made him governor and partaker of his dominion.\n66 And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with peace and joy.\n67 In the year one hundred and sixty-five Demetrius the son of Demetrius came from Crete into the land of his fathers.\n68 And king Alexander heard of it, and was much troubled, and returned to Antioch.\n69 And king Demetrius made Apollonius his general, who was governor of Celesyria: and he gathered together a great army, and came to Jamnia: and he sent to Jonathan the high priest,\n70 Saying: Thou alone standest against us, and I am laughed at, and reproached, because thou shewest thy power against us in the mountains.\n71 Now therefore if thou trustest in thy forces, come down to us into the plain, and there let us try one another: for with me is the strength of war.\n72 Ask, and learn who I am, and the rest that help me, who also say that your foot cannot stand before our face, for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land:\n73 And now how wilt thou be able to abide the horsemen, and so great an army in the plain, where there is no stone, nor rock, nor place to flee to?\n74 Now when Jonathan heard the words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind: and he chose ten thousand men, and went out of Jerusalem, and Simon his brother met him to help him.\n75 And they pitched their tents near Joppe, but they shut him out of the city: because a garrison of Apollonius was in Joppe, and he laid siege to it.\n76 And they that were in the city being affrighted, opened the gates to him: so Jonathan took Joppe.\n77 And Apollonius heard of it, and he took three thousand horsemen, and a great army.\n78 And he went to Azotus as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle.\n79 And Apollonius left privately in the camp a thousand horsemen behind them.\n80 And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush behind him, and they surrounded his army, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening.\n81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so their horses were fatigued.\n82 Then Simon drew forth his army, and attacked the legion: for the horsemen were wearied: and they were discomfited by him, and fled.\n83 And they that were scattered about the plain, fled into Azotus, and went into Bethdagon their idol's temple, there to save themselves.\n84 But Jonathan set fire to Azotus, and the cities that were around it, and took the spoils of them, and the temple of Dagon: and all them that were fled into it, he burnt with fire.\n85 So they that were slain by the sword, with them that were burnt, were almost eight thousand men.\n86 And Jonathan removed his army from thence, and camped against Ascalon: and they went out of the city to meet him with great honour.\n87 And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with his people, having many spoils.\n88 And it came to pass: When Alexander the king heard these words, that he honoured Jonathan yet more.\n89 And he sent him a buckle of gold, as the custom is, to be given to such as are of the royal blood. And he gave him Accaron and all the borders thereof in possession.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What are the chapter and verse numbers for \"In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this phase celebrated.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, the book of 2 Chronicles, chapter 35, verse 19 states: \"In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this phase celebrated.\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What does 2 Kings chapter 7 verse 2 say?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Quoting from 2 Kings 7:2, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"Then one of the lords, upon whose hand the king leaned, answering the man of God, said: If the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, can that possibly be which thou sayest?

He will tell thee what thou must do.\n7 And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.\n8 To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.\n9 And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.\n10 And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.\n11 And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:\n12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.\n13 And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.\n14 But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.\n15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.\n16 And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.\n17 Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon's house, stood at the gate.\n18 And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.\n19 And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.\n20 Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.\n21 Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?\n22 Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.\n23 Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.\n24 And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.\n25 And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.\n26 But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.\n27 And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.\n28 And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.\n29 For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?\n30 And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:\n31 Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.\n32 Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.\n33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.\n34 And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.\n35 But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.\n36 God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)\n37 You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,\n38 Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.\n39 And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.\n40 Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,\n41 Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;\n42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.\n43 To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.\n44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.\n45 And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.\n46 For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.\n47 Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?\n48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.\n19 And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?\n20 For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.\n21 (Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.)\n22 But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious.\n23 For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God.

the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city.\n16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed upon it victims, and peace offerings, and praise: and he commanded Juda to

Wherefore he also in the next place, received the torments of the first:\n9 And when he was at the last gasp, he said thus: Thou indeed, O most wicked man, destroyest us out of this present life: but the King of the world will raise us up, who die for his laws, in the resurrection of eternal life.\n10 After him the third was made a mocking stock, and when he was required, he quickly put forth his tongue, and courageously stretched out his hands:\n11 And said with confidence: These I have from heaven, but for the laws of God I now despise them: because I hope to receive them again from him.\n12 So that the king, and they that were with him, wondered at the young man's courage, because he esteemed the torments as nothing.\n13 And after he was thus dead, they tormented the fourth in the like manner.\n14 And when he was now ready to die, he spoke thus: It is better, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God, to be raised up again by him: for, as to thee thou shalt have no resurrection unto life.\n15 And when they had brought the fifth, they tormented him. But he looking upon the king,\n16 Said: Whereas thou hast power among men, though thou art corruptible, thou dost what thou wilt: but think not that our nation is forsaken by God.\n17 But stay patiently a while, and thou shalt see his great power, in what manner he will torment thee and thy seed.\n18 After him they brought the sixth, and he being ready to die, spoke thus: Be not deceived without cause: for we suffer these things for ourselves, having sinned against our God, and things worthy of admiration are done to us:\n19 But do not think that thou shalt escape unpunished, for that thou attempted to fight against God.\n20 Now the mother was to be admired above measure, and worthy to be remembered by good men, who beheld seven sons slain in the space of one day, and bore it with a good courage, for the hope that she had in God:\n21 And she bravely exhorted every one of them in her own language, being filled with wisdom: and joining a man's heart to a woman's thought,\n22 She said to them: I know not how you were formed in my womb: for I neither gave you breath, nor soul, nor life, neither did I frame the limbs of every one of you.\n23 But the Creator of the world, that formed the nativity of man, and that found out the origin of all, he will restore to you again in his mercy, both breath and life, as now you despise yourselves for the sake of his laws.\n24 Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and withal despising the voice of the upbraider, when the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with an oath, that he would make him a rich and a happy man, and, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers, would take him for a friend, and furnish him with things necessary.\n25 But when the young man was not moved with these things, the king called the mother, and counselled her to deal with the young man to save his life.\n26 And when he had exhorted her with many words, she promised that she would counsel her son.\n27 So bending herself towards him, mocking the cruel tyrant, she said in her own language: My son, have pity upon me, that bore thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee suck three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age.\n28 I beseech thee, my son, look upon heaven and earth, and all that is in them: and consider that God made them out of nothing, and mankind also:\n29 So thou shalt not fear this tormentor, but being made a worthy partner with thy brethren, receive death, that in that mercy I may receive thee again with thy brethren.\n30 While she was yet speaking these words, the young man said: For whom do you stay? I will not obey the commandment of the king, but the commandment of the law, which was given us by Moses.\n31 But thou that hast been the author of all mischief against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hand of God.\n32 For we suffer thus for our sins.\n33 And though the Lord our God is angry with us a little while for our chastisement and correction: yet he will be reconciled again to his servants.\n34 But thou, O wicked and of all men most flagitious, be not lifted up without cause with vain hopes, whilst thou art raging against his servants.\n35 For thou hast not yet escaped the judgment of the almighty God, who beholdeth all things.\n36 For my brethren, having now undergone a short pain, are under the covenant of eternal life: but thou by the judgment of God shalt receive just punishment for thy pride.\n37 But I, like my brethren, offer up my life and my body for the laws of our fathers: calling upon God to be speedily merciful to our nation, and that thou by torments and stripes mayst confess that he alone is God.\n38 But in me and in my brethren the wrath of the Almighty, which hath justly been brought upon all our nation, shall cease.\n39 Then the king being incensed with anger, raged against him more cruelly than all the rest, taking it grievously that he was mocked.\n40 So this man also died undefiled, wholly trusting in the Lord.\n41 And last of all after the sons the mother also was consumed.\n42 But now there is enough said of the sacrifices, and of the excessive cruelties.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where in the books does \"Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.\" show up, chapter-wise?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're referencing is from the book *2 Timothy*, chapter *3*.\n\nHere's the full chapter:\n*2 Timothy Chapter 3*\n**1 Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.**\n2 Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,\n3 Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,\n4 Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God:\n5 Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof.

They answered: We thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.\n4 We are come to sojourn in thy land, because there is no grass for the flocks of thy servants, the famine being very grievous in the land of Chanaan: and we pray thee to give orders that we thy servants may be in the land of Gessen.\n5 The king therefore said to Joseph: Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.\n6 The land of Egypt is before thee: make them dwell in the best place, and give them the land of Gessen. And if thou knowest that there are industrious men among them, make them rulers over my cattle.\n7 After this Joseph brought in his father to the king, and presented him before him: and he blessed him.\n8 And being asked by him: How many are the days of the years of thy life?\n9 He answered: The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years, few, and evil, and they are not come up to the days of the pilgrimage of my fathers.\n10 And blessing the king, he went out.\n11 But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded.\n12 And he nourished them, and all his father's house, allowing food to every one.\n13 For in the whole world there was want of bread, and a famine had oppressed the land: more especially of Egypt and Chanaan.\n14 Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it into the king's treasure.\n15 And when the buyers wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no money.\n16 And he answered them: Bring me your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no money.\n**17 And when they had brought them, he gave them food in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses and he maintained them that year for the exchange of their cattle.**\n18 And they came the second year, and said to him: We will not hide from our lord, how that our money is spent, and our cattle also are gone: neither art thou ignorant that we have nothing now left but our bodies and our lands.\n19 Why therefore shall we die before thy eyes? we will be thine, both we and our lands: buy us to be the king's servants, and give us seed, lest for want of tillers the land be turned into a wilderness.\n20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, every man selling his possessions, because of the greatness of the famine. And he brought it into Pharao's hands:\n21 And all its people from one end of the borders of Egypt, even to the other end thereof,\n22 Except the land of the priests, which had been given them by the king: to whom also a certain allowance of food was given out of the public stores, and therefore they were not forced to sell their possessions.\n23 Then Joseph said to the people: Behold as you see, both you and your lands belong to Pharao: take seed and sow the fields,\n24 That you may have corn.

great fury and indignation, and he called all the princes of Moab and the leaders of Amman.\n3 And he said to them: Tell me what is this people that besetteth the mountains: or what are their cities, and of what sort, and how great: also what is their power, or what is their multitude: or who is the king over their warfare:\n4 And why they above all that dwell in the east, have despised us, and have not come out to meet us, that they might receive us with peace?\n5 Then Achior captain of all the children of Ammon answering, said: If thou vouch safe, my lord, to hear, I will tell the truth in thy sight concerning this people, that dwelleth in the mountains, and there shall not a false word come out of my mouth.\n6 This people is of the offspring of the Chaldeans.\n7 They dwelt first in Mesopotamia, because they would not follow the gods of their fathers, who were in the land of the Chaldeans.\n8 Wherefore forsaking the ceremonies of their fathers, which consisted in the worship of many gods,\n9 They worshipped one God of heaven, who also commanded them to depart from thence, and to dwell in Charan. And when there was a famine over all the land, they went down into Egypt, and there for four hundred years were so multiplied, that the army of them could not be numbered.\n10 And when the king of Egypt oppressed them, and made slaves of them to labour in clay and brick, in the building of his cities, they cried to their Lord, and he struck the whole land of Egypt with divers plagues.\n**11 And

of the Egyptians pursued after them in that place, they were so overwhelmed with the waters, that there was not one left, to tell what had happened to posterity.\n14 And after they came out of the Red Sea, they abode in the deserts of mount Sina, in which never man could dwell, or son of man rested.\n15 There bitter fountains were made sweet for them to drink, and for forty years they received food from heaven.\n16 Wheresoever they went in without bow and arrow, and without shield and sword, their God fought for them and overcame.\n17 And there was no one that triumphed over this people, but when they departed from the worship of the Lord their God.\n18 But as often as beside their own God, they worshipped any other, they were given to spoil, and to the sword, and to reproach.\n19 And as often as they were penitent for having revolted from the worship of their God, the God of heaven gave them power to resist.\n20 So they overthrew the king of the Chanaanites, and of the Jebusites, and of the Pherezites, and of the Hethites, and of the Hevites, and of the Amorrhites, and all the mighty ones in Hesebon, and they possessed their lands, and their cities:\n21 And as long as they sinned

And we were in this city some days conferring together.\n13 And upon the sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled.\n14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul.\n15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.\n**16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl, having a pythonical spirit, met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining.**\n17 This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach unto you the way of salvation.\n18 And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned, and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour.\n19 But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the marketplace to the rulers.\n20 And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: These men disturb our city, being Jews;\n21 And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans.\n22 And the people ran together against them; and the magistrates rending off their clothes, commanded them to be beaten with rods.\n23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the gaoler to keep them diligently.\n24 Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.\n25 And at midnight, Paul and Silas praying, praised God. And they that were in prison, heard them.\n26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bands of all were loosed.\n27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.\n28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here.\n29 Then calling for a light, he went in, and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.\n30 And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?\n31 But they said: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.\n32 And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.\n33 And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes, and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.\n34 And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them, and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.\n35 And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.\n36 And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore depart, and go in peace.\n37 But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison: and now do they thrust us out privately? Not so; but let them come,\n38 And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid, hearing that they were Romans.\n39 And coming, they besought them; and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city.\n40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the content of Daniel 3:33?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the Old Testament, in Daniel 3:33 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"And now we cannot open our mouths: we are become a shame and reproach to thy servants, and to them that worship thee.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "- **Book:** Daniel\n- **Chapter:** 4\n- **Verse:** 2", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture from the Old Testament at Daniel 4:2 (Douay Rheims) is:\n\"I saw a dream that affrighted me: and my thoughts in my bed, and the visions of my head troubled me.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you pinpoint the book and chapter of \"Thou shalt not fear them, because the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, a God mighty and terrible:\" for me?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That's from *Deuteronomy*, chapter *7*.\n\nWant the full chapter?

But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,\n5 Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.\n6 And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.\n7 And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?\n8 I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?\n9 And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:\n10 Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.\n11 The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.\n12 I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.\n13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner.\n14 I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.\n15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.\n16 But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.\n17 Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.\n18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life?\n19 And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.\n20 Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.\n21 Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.\n22 Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.\n23 He having heard these things, became sorrowful; for he was very rich.\n24 And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.\n25 For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.\n26 And they that heard it, said: Who then can be saved?\n27 He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.\n28 Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.\n29 Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,\n30 Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\n31 Then Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.\n32 For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon:\n33 And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again.\n34 And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said.\n35 Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.\n36 And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.\n37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.\n38 And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.\n39 And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.\n40 And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him.

But he said: Lord, that I may see.**\n42 And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.\n43 And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God.

And Julius treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends, and to take care of himself.\n4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.\n5 And sailing over the sea of Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia:\n6 And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.\n7 And when for many days we had sailed slowly, and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone:\n8 And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.\n9 And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,\n10 Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.\n11 But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.\n12 And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.\n13 And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.\n14 But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.\n15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.\n16 And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.\n17 Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.\n18 And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.\n19 And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.\n20 And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.\n21 And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss.\n22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but only of the ship.\n23 For an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me this night,\n24 Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.\n25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.\n26 And we must come unto a certain island.\n27 But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.\n28 Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms; and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.\n29 Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.\n30 But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under colour, as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship,\n31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.\n32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.\n33 And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited, and continued fasting, taking nothing.\n34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat for your health's sake; for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish.\n35 And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat.\n36 Then were they all of better cheer, and they also took some meat.\n37 And we were in all in the ship, two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.\n38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.\n39 And when it was day, they knew not the land; but they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship.\n40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands; and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore.\n41 And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground; and the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.\n**42 And the soldiers' counsel was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.**\n43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done; and he commanded that they who could swim, should cast themselves first into the sea, and save themselves, and get to land.\n44 And the rest, some they carried on boards, and some on those things that belonged to the ship.

If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world:\n10 But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.\n11 These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.\n12 His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.\n13 But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.\n14 Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.\n15 And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you may believe: but let us go to him.\n16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.\n17 Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.\n18 (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)\n19 And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.\n20 Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.\n21 Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.\n22 But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.\n23 Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.\n24 Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.\n25 Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:\n26 And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever.

And that day indeed he held his peace.\n5 But having gotten a convenient time to further his madness, being called to counsel by Demetrius, and asked what the Jews relied upon, and what were their counsels,\n6 He answered thereunto: They among the Jews that are called Assideans, of whom Judas Machabeus is captain, nourish wars, and raise seditions, and will not suffer the realm to be in peace.\n7 For I also being deprived of my ancestors' glory (I mean of the high priesthood) am now come hither:\n8 Principally indeed out of fidelity to the king's interests, but in the next place also to provide for the good of my countrymen: for all our nation suffereth much from the evil proceedings of those men.\n9 Wherefore, O king, seeing thou knowest all these things, take care, I beseech thee, both of the country, and of our nation, according to thy humanity which is known to all men,\n10 For as long as Judas liveth, it is not possible that the state should be quiet.\n11 Now when this man had spoken to this effect, the rest also of the king's friends, who were enemies of Judas, incensed Demetrius against him.\n12 And forthwith he sent Nicanor, the commander over the elephants, governor into Judea:\n13 Giving him in charge, to take Judas himself: and disperse all them that were with him, and to make Alcimus the high priest of the great temple.\n14 Then the Gentiles who had fled out of Judea from Judas, came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the miseries and calamities of the Jews to be the welfare of their affairs.\n15 Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the nations were assembled against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him, who chose his people to keep them for ever, and who protected his portion by evident signs.\n16 Then at the commandment of their captain, they forthwith removed from the place where they were, and went to the town of Dessau, to meet them.\n17 Now Simon the brother of Judas had joined battle with Nicanor, but was frightened with the sudden coming of the adversaries.\n18 Nevertheless Nicanor hearing of the valour of Judas' companions, and the greatness of courage with which they fought for their country, was afraid to try the matter by the sword.\n19 Wherefore he sent Posidonius, and Theodotius, and Matthias before to present and receive the right hands.\n20 And when there had been a consultation thereupon, and the captain had acquainted the multitude with it, they were all of one mind to consent to covenants.\n21 So they appointed a day upon which they might commune together by themselves: and seats were brought out, and set for each one.\n22 But Judas ordered men to be ready in convenient places, lest some mischief might be suddenly practiced by the enemies: so they made an agreeable conference.\n23 And Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no wrong, but sent away the flocks of the multitudes that had been gathered together.\n24 And Judas was always dear to him from the heart, and he was well affected to the man.\n25 And he desired him to marry a wife, and to have children. So he married: he lived quietly, and they lived in common.\n26 But Alcimus seeing the love they had one to another, and the covenants, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor assented to the foreign interest, for that he meant to make Judas, who was a traitor to the kingdom, his successor.\n27 Then the king being in a rage and provoked with this man's wicked accusations, wrote to Nicanor, signifying, that he was greatly displeased with the covenant of friendship: and that he commanded him nevertheless to send Machabeus prisoner in all haste to Antioch.\n28 When this was known, Nicanor was in a consternation, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles that were agreed upon, having received no injury from the man.\n29 But because he could not oppose the king, he watched an opportunity to comply with the orders.\n30 But when Machabeus perceived that Nicanor was more stern to him, and that when they met together as usual he behaved himself in a rough manner: and was sensible that this rough behaviour came not of good, he gathered together a few of his men, and hid himself from Nicanor.\n31 But he finding himself notably prevented by the man, came to the great and holy temple: and commanded the priests that were offering the accustomed sacrifices, to deliver him the man.\n32 And when they swore unto him, that they knew not where the man was whom he sought, he stretched out his hand to the temple,\n33 And swore, saying: Unless you deliver Judas prisoner to me, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and will beat down the altar, and I will dedicate this temple to Bacchus.\n34 And when he had spoken thus he departed. But the priests stretching forth their hands to heaven, called upon him that was ever the defender of their nation, saying in this manner:\n35 Thou, O Lord of all things, who wantest nothing, wast pleased that the temple of thy habitation should be amongst us.\n36 Therefore now, O Lord the holy of all holies, keep this house for ever undefiled which was lately cleansed.\n37 Now Razias, one of the ancients of Jerusalem, was accused to Nicanor, a man that was a lover of the city, and of good report, who for his affection was called the father of the Jews.\n38 This man, for a long time, had held fast his purpose of keeping himself pure in the Jews' religion, and was ready to expose his body and life, that he might persevere therein.\n39 So Nicanor being willing to declare the hatred that he bore the Jews, sent five hundred soldiers to take him.\n40 For he thought by insnaring him to hurt the Jews very much.\n41 Now as the multitude sought to rush into his house, and to break open the door, and to set fire to it, when he was ready to be taken, he struck himself with his sword:\n42 Choosing to die nobly rather than to fall into the hands of the wicked, and to suffer abuses unbecoming his noble birth.\n43 But whereas through haste he missed of giving himself a sure wound, and the crowd was breaking into the doors, he ran boldly to the wall, and manfully threw himself down to the crowd:\n44 But they quickly making room for his fall, he came upon the midst of the neck.\n**45 And as he had yet breath in him, being inflamed in mind he arose: and while his blood ran down with a great stream, and he was grievously wounded, he ran through the crowd:**\n46 And standing upon a steep rock, when he was now almost without blood, grasping his bowels with both hands, he cast them upon the throng, calling upon the Lord of life and spirit, to restore these to him again: and so he departed this life.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What does Acts chapter 13 verse 44 say?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the New Testament, Acts chapter 13, verse 44 (Douay Rheims) says:\n\"But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and chapter does \"And when Aaron spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, they looked towards the wilderness: and behold the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.\" belong to?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you mentioned is found in *Exodus*, chapter *16*.\n\nHere's the entire chapter for you:\n*Exodus Chapter 16*\n1 And they set forward from Elim, and all the multitude of the children of Israel came into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai: the fifteenth day of the second month, after they came out of the land of Egypt.\n2 And all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.\n3 And the children of Israel said to them: Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat over the flesh pots, and ate bread to the full.

all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon on the festival day in the month of Ethanim, the same is the seventh month.\n3 And all the ancients of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark,\n4 And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them.\n5 And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered.\n6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims.\n**7 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof above.**\n8 And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.\n9 Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.\n10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,\n11 And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.\n12 Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.\n13 Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.\n14 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood.\n15 And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying:\n16 Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.\n17 And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel:\n18 And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind.\n19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.\n20 The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel.\n21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt.\n22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;\n23 And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that have walked before thee with all their heart.\n24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.\n25 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.\n26 And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy words be established, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David my father.\n27 Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built?\n28 But have regard to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:\n29 That thy eyes may be open upon this house night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth in this place to thee.\n30 That thou mayest hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy.\n31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and have an oath upon him, wherewith he is bound: and come because of the oath before thy altar to thy house,\n32 Then hear thou in heaven: and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, and bringing his way upon his own head, and justifying the just, and rewarding him

supplications to thee in this house:\n34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.\n35 If heaven shall be

Then hear thou them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people in possession.\n37 If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or blasting, or locust, or mildew, if their enemy afflict them besieging the gates, whatsoever plague,

people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake, (for they shall hear everywhere of thy great name and thy mighty hand,\n42 And thy stretched out arm,) so when he shall

the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built.\n44 If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have built to thy name:\n45 And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them.\n46 But if they sin against thee (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies far or near;\n47 Then if they do penance in their heart in the place of captivity, and being converted make supplication to thee in their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed wickedness:\n48 And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they had been led captives: and pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which I have built to thy name:\n49 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:\n50 And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give them mercy before them that have made them captives, that they may have compassion on them.\n51 For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.\n52 That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee.\n53 For thou hast separated them to thyself for an inheritance from among all the people of the earth, as thou hast spoken by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.\n54 And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven.\n55 And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a, loud voice, saying:\n56 Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses.\n57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave us, nor cast us off:\n58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments which he commanded our fathers.\n59 And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, he nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel day by day:\n60 That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.\n61 Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day.\n62 And the king, and all Israel him, offered victims before the Lord.\n63 And Solomon slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king, and the children of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.\n64 In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings.\n65 And Solomon made at the same time a solemn feast, and all Israel with him, a great multitude from the entrance of Emath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, that is, fourteen days.\n66 And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings rejoicing, and glad in heart for all the good things that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for

Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without fault?\n6 And when Saul heard this he was appeased with the words of Jonathan, and swore: As the Lord liveth he shall not be slain.\n7 Then Jonathan called David and told him all these words: and Jonathan brought in David to Saul, and he was before him, as he had been yesterday and the day before.\n8 And the war began again, and David went out and fought against the Philistines, and defeated them with a great slaughter, and they fled from his face.\n9 And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played with his hand.\n10 And Saul endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in the wall, and David fled and escaped that night.\n11 Saul therefore sent his guards to David's house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning.

They answered: We thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.\n4 We are come to sojourn in thy land, because there is no grass for the flocks of thy servants, the famine being very grievous in the land of Chanaan: and we pray thee to give orders that we thy servants may be in the land of Gessen.\n5 The king therefore said to Joseph: Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.\n6 The land of Egypt is before thee: make them dwell in the best place, and give them the land of Gessen. And if thou knowest that there are industrious men among them, make them rulers over my cattle.\n7 After this Joseph brought in his father to the king, and presented him before him: and he blessed him.\n**8 And being asked by him: How many are the days of the years of thy life?**\n9 He answered: The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years, few, and evil, and they are not come up to the days of the pilgrimage of my fathers.\n10 And blessing the king, he went out.\n11 But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded.\n12 And he nourished them, and all his father's house, allowing food to every one.\n13 For in the whole world there was want of bread, and a famine had oppressed the land: more especially of Egypt and Chanaan.\n14 Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it into the king's treasure.\n15 And when the buyers wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no money.\n16 And he answered them: Bring me your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no money.\n17 And when they had brought them, he gave them food in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses and he maintained them that year for the exchange of their cattle.\n18 And they came the second year, and said to him: We will not hide from our lord, how that our money is spent, and our cattle also are gone: neither art thou ignorant that we have nothing now left but our bodies and our lands.\n19 Why therefore shall we die before thy eyes? we will be thine, both we and our lands: buy us to be the king's servants, and give us seed, lest for want of tillers the land be turned into a wilderness.\n20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, every man selling his possessions, because of the greatness of the famine. And he brought it into Pharao's hands:\n21 And all its people from one end of the borders of Egypt, even to the other end thereof,\n22 Except the land of the priests, which had been given them by the king: to whom also a certain allowance of food was given out of the public stores, and therefore they were not forced to sell their possessions.\n23 Then Joseph said to the people: Behold as you see, both you and your lands belong to Pharao: take seed and sow the fields,\n24 That you may have corn. The fifth part you shall give to the king: the other four you shall have for seed, and for food for your families and children.\n25 And they answered: Our life is in thy hand: only let my lord look favourably upon us, and we will gladly serve the king.\n26 From that time unto this day, in the whole land of Egypt, the fifth part is paid to the king, and it is become as a law, except the land of the priests, which was free from this covenant.\n27 So Israel dwelt in Egypt, that is, in the land of Gessen, and possessed it: and grew, and was multiplied exceedingly.\n28 And he lived in it seventeen years: and all the days of his life came to a hundred and forty-seven years.\n29 And when he saw that the day of his death drew nigh, he called his son Joseph, and said to him: If I have found favour in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh; and thou shalt shew me this kindness and truth, not to bury me in Egypt:\n30 But I will sleep with my fathers, and thou shalt take me away out of this land, and bury me in the burying place of my ancestors.

you:\n*2 Maccabees Chapter 10*\n1 But Machabeus, and they that were with him, by the protection of the Lord, recovered the temple and the city again.\n2 But he threw down the altars, which the heathens had set up in the streets, as also the temples of the idols.\n3 And having purified the temple, they made another altar: and taking fire out of the fiery stones, they offered sacrifices after two years, and set forth incense, and lamps, and the loaves of proposition.\n4 And when they had done these things, they besought the Lord, lying prostrate on the ground, that they might no more fall into such evils; but if they should at any time sin, that they might be chastised by him more gently, and not be delivered up to barbarians and blasphemous men.\n5 Now upon the same day that the temple had been polluted by the strangers, on the very same day it was cleansed again, to wit, on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu.\n6 And they kept eight days with joy, after the manner of the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long before they had kept the feast of the tabernacles when they were in the mountains, and in dens like wild beasts.\n7 Therefore they now, carried boughs, and green branches, and palms for Him that had given them good success in cleansing his place.\n8 And they ordained by a common statute, and decree, that all the nation of the Jews should keep those days every year.\n9 And this was the end of Antiochus that was called the Illustrious.\n10 But now we will relate the acts of Eupator the son of that wicked Antiochus, abridging the account of the evils that happened in the wars.\n11 For when he was come to the crown, he appointed over the affairs of his realm one Lysias, general of the army of Phenicia and Syria.\n12 For Ptolemee that was called Macer, was determined to be strictly just to the Jews, and especially by reason of the wrong that had been done them, and to deal peaceably with them.\n13 But being accused for this to Eupator by his friends, and being oftentimes called traitor, because he had left Cyprus which Philometor had committed to him, and coming over to Antiochus the Illustrious, had revolted also from him, he put an end to his life by poison.\n14 But Gorgias, who was governor of the holds, taking with him the strangers, often fought against the Jews.\n15 And the Jews that occupied the most commodious hold, received those that were driven out of Jerusalem, and attempted to make war.\n16 Then they that were with Machabeus, beseeching the Lord by prayers to be their helper, made a strong attack upon the strong holds of the Idumeans:\n17 And assaulting them with great force, won the holds, killed them that came in the way, and slew altogether no fewer than twenty thousand.\n18 And whereas some were fled into very strong towers, having all manner of provision to sustain a siege,\n19 Machabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zacheus, and them that were with them in sufficient number to besiege them, and departed to those expeditions which urged more.\n20 Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for the sake of money by some that were in the towers: and taking seventy thousand didrachmas, let some of them escape.\n21 But when it was told Machabeus what was done, he assembled the rulers of the people, and accused those men that they had sold their brethren for money, having let their adversaries escape.\n22 So he put these traitors to death, and forthwith took the two towers.\n23 And having good success in arms and in all things he took in hand, he slew more than twenty thousand in the two holds.\n24 But Timotheus who before had been overcome by the Jews, having called together a multitude of foreign troops, and assembled horsemen out of Asia, came as though he would take Judea by force of arms.\n25 But Machabeus and they that were with him, when he drew near, prayed to the Lord, sprinkling earth upon their heads and girding their loins with haircloth,\n**26 And lying prostrate at the foot of the altar, besought him to be merciful to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law saith.**\n27 And so after prayer taking their arms, they went forth further from the city, and when they were come very near the enemies they rested.\n28 But as soon as the sun was risen both sides joined battle: the one part having with their valour the Lord for a surety of victory and success: but the other side making their rage their leader in battle.\n29 But when they were in the heat of the engagement there appeared to the enemies from heaven five men upon horses, comely with golden bridles, conducting the Jews:\n30 Two of whom took Machabeus between them, and covered him on every side with their arms, and kept him safe: but cast darts and fireballs against the enemy, so that they fell down, being both confounded with blindness, and filled with trouble.\n31 And there were slain twenty thousand five hundred, and six hundred horsemen.\n32 But Timotheus fled into Gazara a strong hold, where Chereas was governor.\n33 Then Machabeus, and they that were with him, cheerfully laid siege to the fortress four days.\n34 But they that were within, trusting to the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and cast forth abominable words.\n35 But when the fifth day appeared, twenty young men of them that were with Machabeus, inflamed in their minds because of the blasphemy, approached manfully to the wall, and pushing forward with fierce courage got up upon it.\n36 Moreover others also getting up after them, went to set fire to the towers and the gates, and to burn the blasphemers alive.\n37 And having for two days together pillaged and sacked the fortress, they killed Timotheus, who was found hid in a certain place: they slew also his brother Chereas, and Apollophanes.\n38 And when this was done, they blessed the Lord with hymns and

Maccabees Chapter 10*\n1 But Machabeus, and they that were with him, by the protection of the Lord, recovered the temple and the city again.\n2 But he threw down the altars, which the heathens had set up in the streets, as also the temples of the idols.\n3 And having purified the temple, they made another altar: and taking fire out of the fiery stones, they offered sacrifices after two years, and set forth incense, and lamps, and the loaves of proposition.\n4 And when they had done these things, they besought the Lord, lying prostrate on the ground, that they might no more fall into such evils; but if they should at any time sin, that they might be chastised by him more gently, and not be delivered up to barbarians and blasphemous men.\n5 Now upon the same day that the temple had been polluted by the strangers, on the very same day it was cleansed again, to wit, on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu.\n6 And they kept eight days with joy, after the manner of the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long before they had kept the feast of the tabernacles when they were in the mountains, and in dens like wild beasts.\n**7 Therefore they now, carried boughs, and green branches, and palms for Him that had given them good success in cleansing his place.**\n8 And they ordained by a common statute, and decree, that all the nation of the Jews should keep those days every year.\n9 And this was the end of Antiochus that was called the Illustrious.\n10 But now we will relate the acts of Eupator the son of that wicked Antiochus, abridging the account of the evils that happened in the wars.\n11 For when he was come to the crown, he appointed over the affairs of his realm one Lysias, general of the army of Phenicia and Syria.\n12 For Ptolemee that was called Macer, was determined to be strictly just to the Jews, and especially by reason of the wrong that had been done them, and to deal peaceably with them.\n13 But being accused for this to Eupator by his friends, and being oftentimes called traitor, because he had left Cyprus which Philometor had committed to him, and coming over to Antiochus the Illustrious, had revolted also from him, he put an end to his life by poison.\n14 But Gorgias, who was governor of the holds, taking with him the strangers, often fought against the Jews.\n15 And the Jews that occupied the most commodious hold, received those that were driven out of Jerusalem, and attempted to make war.\n16 Then they that were with Machabeus, beseeching the Lord by prayers to be their helper, made a strong attack upon the strong holds of the Idumeans:\n17 And assaulting them with great force, won the holds, killed them that came in the way, and slew altogether no fewer than twenty thousand.\n18 And whereas some were fled into very strong towers, having all manner of provision to sustain a siege,\n19 Machabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zacheus, and them that were with them in sufficient number to besiege them, and departed to those expeditions which urged more.\n20 Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for the sake of money by some that were in the towers: and taking seventy thousand didrachmas, let some of them escape.\n21 But when it was told Machabeus what was done, he assembled the rulers of the people, and accused those men that they had sold their brethren for money, having let their adversaries escape.\n22 So he put these traitors to death, and forthwith took the two towers.\n23 And having good success in arms and in all things he took in hand, he slew more than twenty thousand in the two holds.\n24 But Timotheus who before had been overcome by the Jews, having called together a multitude of foreign troops, and assembled horsemen out of Asia, came as though he would take Judea by force of arms.\n25 But Machabeus and they that were with him, when he drew near, prayed to the Lord, sprinkling earth upon their heads and girding their loins with haircloth,\n26 And lying prostrate at the foot of the altar, besought him to be merciful to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law saith.\n27 And so after prayer taking their arms, they went forth further from the city, and when they were come very near the enemies they rested.\n28 But as soon as the sun was risen both sides joined battle: the one part having with their valour the Lord for a surety of victory and success: but the other side making their rage their leader in battle.\n29 But when they were in the heat of the engagement there appeared to the enemies from heaven five men upon horses, comely with golden bridles, conducting the Jews:\n30 Two of whom took Machabeus between them, and covered him on every side with their arms, and kept him safe: but cast darts and fireballs against the enemy, so that they fell down, being both confounded with blindness, and filled with trouble.\n31 And there were slain twenty thousand five hundred, and six hundred horsemen.\n32 But Timotheus fled into Gazara a strong hold, where Chereas was governor.\n33 Then Machabeus, and they that were with him, cheerfully laid siege to the fortress four days.\n34 But they that were within, trusting to the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and cast forth abominable words.\n35 But when the fifth day appeared, twenty young men of them that were with Machabeus, inflamed in their minds because of the blasphemy, approached manfully to the wall, and pushing forward with fierce courage got up upon it.\n36 Moreover others also getting up after them, went to set fire to the towers and the gates, and to burn the blasphemers alive.\n37 And having for two days together pillaged and sacked the fortress, they killed Timotheus, who was found hid in a certain place: they slew also his brother Chereas, and Apollophanes.\n38 And when this was done, they blessed the Lord with hymns and thanksgiving, who had done great things in Israel, and given them the victory.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you pinpoint the book and chapter of \"So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.\" for me?", "role": "user" }, {

But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.\n3 And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John's baptism.\n4 Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.\n5 Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.\n6 And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.\n7 And all the men were about twelve.\n8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.\n9 But when some were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord, before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.\n10 And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.\n11 And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.\n12 So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the wicked spirits went out of them.\n13 Now some also of the Jewish exorcists who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.\n14 And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.\n15 But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?\n16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them, and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.\n17 And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.\n18 And many of them that believed, came confessing and declaring their deeds.\n19 And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.\n**20 So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.**\n21 And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.\n22 And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.\n23 Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.\n24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;\n25 Whom he calling together, with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade;\n26 And you see and hear, that this Paul by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: They are not gods which are made by hands.\n27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing; yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.\n28 Having heard these things, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.\n29 And the whole city was filled with confusion; and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.\n30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.\n31 And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre.\n32 Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together.\n33 And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction.\n34 But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.\n35 And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of Jupiter's offspring.\n36 For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.\n37 For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.\n38 But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.\n39 And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.\n40 For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse.

Zacharias, the son of Banaias, the son of Jehiel, the son of Mathanias, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, was there, upon whom the spirit of the Lord came in the midst of the multitude,\n15 And he said:

his prophets, and all things shall succeed well.\n21 And he gave counsel to the people, and appointed the singing men of the Lord, to praise him by their companies, and to go before the army, and with

kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of them, they turned also against one another, and destroyed one another.\n24 And when Juda came to the watch tower, that looketh toward the

Is the law sin? God forbid. But I do not know sin, but by the law; for I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet.\n8 But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence.

But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me; that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure.\n14 For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.\n15 For that which I work, I understand not.

Maccabees*, chapter *10*.\n\nHere's the chapter in full:\n*1 Maccabees Chapter 10*\n1 Now in the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander the son of Antiochus, surnamed the Illustrious, came up and took Ptolemais, and they received him, and he reigned there.\n2 And king Demetrius heard of it, and gathered together an exceeding great army, and went forth against him to fight.\n3 And Demetrius sent a letter to Jonathan with peaceable words, to magnify him.\n4 For he said: Let us first make a peace with him, before he make one with Alexander against us.\n5 For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation.\n6 And he gave him authority to gather together an army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him.\n7 And Jonathan came to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the hearing of all the people, and of them that were in the castle.\n8 And they were struck with great fear, because they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an army.\n9 And the hostages were delivered to Jonathan, and he restored them to their parents.\n10 And Jonathan dwelt in Jerusalem, and began to build, and to repair the city.\n11 And he ordered workmen to build the walls, and mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification: and so they did.\n12 And the strangers that were in the strong holds, which Bacchides had built, fled away.\n13 And every man left his place, and departed into his own country:\n14 Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them.\n15 And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he, and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured.\n16 And he said: Shall we find such another man? now therefore we will make him our friend and our confederate.\n17 So he wrote a letter, and sent it to him according to these words, saying:\n18 King Alexander to his brother Jonathan, greeting.\n19 We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and fit to be our friend:\n20 Now therefore we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold,) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us.\n21 Then Jonathan put on the holy vestment in the seventh month, in the year one hundred and threescore, at the feast day of the tabernacles: and he gathered together an army, and made a great number of arms.\n22 And Demetrius heard these words, and was exceeding sorry, and said:\n23 What is this that we have done, that Alexander hath prevented us to gain the friendship of the Jews to strengthen himself?\n24 I also will write to them words of request, and offer dignities, and gifts: that they may be with me to aid me.\n25 And he wrote to them in these words: King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews, greeting.\n26 Whereas you have kept covenant with us, and have continued in our friendship, and have not joined with our enemies, we have heard of it, and are glad.\n27 Wherefore now continue still to keep fidelity towards us, and we will reward you with good things, for what you have done in our behalf.\n28 And we will remit to you many charges, and will give you gifts.\n29 And now I free you, and all the Jews from tributes, and I release you from the customs of salt, and remit the crowns, and the thirds of the seed:\n30 And the half of the fruit of trees, which is my share, I leave to you from this day forward, so that it shall not be taken of the land of Juda, and of the three cities that are added thereto out of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth and for ever:\n31 And let Jerusalem be holy and free, with the borders thereof: and let the tenths, and tributes be for itself.\n32 I yield up also the power of the castle that is in Jerusalem, and I give it to the high priest, to place therein such men as he shall choose to keep it.\n33 And every soul of the Jews that hath been carried captive from the land of Juda in all my kingdom, I set at liberty freely, that all be discharged from tributes even of their cattle.\n34 And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom:\n35 And no man shall have power to do any thing against them, or to molest any of them, in any cause.\n36 And let there be enrolled in the king's army to the number of thirty thousand of the Jews: and allowance shall be made them as is due to all the king's forces, and certain of them shall be appointed to be in the fortresses of the great king:\n37 And some of them shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, that are of trust, and let the governors be taken from among themselves, and let them walk in their own laws, as the king hath commanded in the land of Juda.\n38 And the three cities that are added to Judea, out of the country of Samaria, let them be accounted with Judea: that they may be under one, and obey no other authority but that of the high priest:\n39 Ptolemais, and the confines thereof, I give as a free gift to the holy places, that are in Jerusalem, for the necessary charges of the holy things.\n40 And I give every year fifteen thousand sicles of silver out of the king's accounts, of what belongs to me:\n41 And all that is above, which they that were over the affairs the years before, had not paid, from this time they shall give it to the works of the house.\n42 Moreover the five thousand sicles of silver which they received from the account of the holy places, every year, shall also belong to the priests that execute the ministry.\n43 And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free.\n44 For the building also, or repairing the works of the holy places, the charges shall be given out of the king's revenues:\n**45 For the building also of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, the charges shall be given out of the king's account, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.**\n46 Now when Jonathan, and the people heard these words, they gave no credit to them nor received them: because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel, for he had afflicted them exceedingly.\n47 And their inclinations were towards Alexander, because he had been the chief promoter of peace in their regard, and him they always helped.\n48 And king Alexander gathered together a great army, and moved his camp near to Demetrius.\n49 And the two kings joined battle, and the army of Demetrius fled away, and Alexander pursued after him, and pressed them close.\n50 And the battle was hard fought till the sun went down: and Demetrius was slain that day.\n51 And Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt, with words to this effect, saying:\n52 Forasmuch as I am returned into my kingdom, and am set in the throne of my ancestors and have gotten the dominion, and have overthrown Demetrius, and possessed our country,\n53 And have joined battle with him, and both he and his army have been destroyed by us, and we are placed in the throne of his kingdom:\n54 Now therefore let us make friendship one with another: and give me now thy daughter to wife, and I will be thy son in law, and I will give both thee and her gifts worthy of thee.\n55 And king Ptolemee answered, saying: Happy is the day wherein thou didst return to the land of thy fathers, and sattest in the throne of their kingdom.\n56 And now I will do to thee as thou hast written: but meet me at Ptolemais, that we may see one another, and I may give her to thee as thou hast said.\n57 So Ptolemee went out of Egypt, with Cleopatra his daughter, and he came to Ptolemais in the hundred and sixty-second year.\n58 And king Alexander met him, and he gave him his daughter Cleopatra: and he celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais, with great glory, after the manner of kings.\n59 And king Alexander wrote to Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.\n60 And he went honourably to Ptolemais, and he met there the two kings, and he gave them much silver, and gold, and presents: and he found favour in their sight.\n61 And some pestilent men of Israel, men of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him to accuse him: and the king gave no heed to them.\n62 And he commanded that Jonathan's garments should be taken off, and that he should be clothed with purple: and they did so. And the king made him sit by himself.\n63 And he said to his princes: Go out with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.\n64 So when his accusers saw his glory proclaimed, and him clothed with purple, they all fled away.\n65 And the king magnified him, and enrolled him amongst his chief friends, and made him governor and partaker of his dominion.\n66 And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with peace and joy.\n67 In the year one hundred and sixty-five Demetrius the son of Demetrius came from Crete into the land of his fathers.\n68 And king Alexander heard of it, and was much troubled, and returned to Antioch.\n69 And king Demetrius made Apollonius his general, who was governor of Celesyria: and he gathered together a great army, and came to Jamnia: and he sent to Jonathan the high priest,\n70 Saying: Thou alone standest against us, and I am laughed at, and reproached, because thou shewest thy power against us in the mountains.\n71 Now therefore if thou trustest in thy forces, come down to us into the plain, and there let us try one another: for with me is the strength of war.\n72 Ask, and learn who I am, and the rest that help me, who also say that your foot cannot stand before our face, for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land:\n73 And now how wilt thou be able to abide the horsemen, and so great an army in the plain, where there is no stone, nor rock, nor place to flee to?\n74 Now when Jonathan heard the words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind: and he chose ten thousand men, and went out of Jerusalem, and Simon his brother met him to help him.\n75 And they pitched their tents near Joppe, but they shut him out of the city: because a garrison of Apollonius was in Joppe, and he laid siege to it.\n76 And they that were in the city being affrighted, opened the gates to him: so Jonathan took Joppe.\n77 And Apollonius heard of it, and he took three thousand horsemen, and a great army.\n78 And he went to Azotus as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle.\n79 And Apollonius left privately in the camp a thousand horsemen behind them.\n80 And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush behind him, and they surrounded his army, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening.\n81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so their horses were fatigued.\n82 Then Simon drew forth his army, and attacked the legion: for the horsemen were wearied: and they were discomfited by him, and fled.\n83 And they that were scattered about the plain, fled into Azotus, and went into Bethdagon their idol's temple, there to save themselves.\n84 But Jonathan set fire to Azotus, and the cities that were around it, and took the spoils of them, and the temple of Dagon: and all them that were fled into it, he burnt with fire.\n85 So they that were slain by the sword, with them that were burnt, were almost eight thousand men.\n86 And Jonathan removed his army from thence, and camped against Ascalon: and they went out of the city to meet him with great honour.\n87 And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with his people, having many spoils.\n88 And it came to pass: When Alexander the king heard these words, that he honoured Jonathan yet more.\n89 And he sent him a buckle of gold, as the custom is, to be given to such as are of the royal blood.

And presently there rose a leprosy in his forehead before the priests, in the house of the Lord at the altar of incense.\n20 And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made haste to thrust him out.

Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries.\n3 But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort.\n4 He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.\n5 And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification.\n6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?\n7 Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?\n8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?\n9 So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.\n10 There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.\n11 If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me.\n12 So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.\n13 And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.\n14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit.\n15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding.\n16 Else if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? because he knoweth not what thou sayest.\n**17 For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.**\n18 I thank my God I speak with all your tongues.\n19 But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also; than ten thousand words in a tongue.\n20 Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.\n21 In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord.\n22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.\n23 If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad?\n24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all.\n25 The secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed.\n26 How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification.\n27 If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret.\n28 But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God.\n29 And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.\n30 But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.\n31 For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:\n32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.\n33 For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.\n34 Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.\n35 But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.\n36 Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?\n37 If any seem to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord.\n38 But if any man know not, he shall

sons for hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will release him.\n17 Now Simon knew that he spoke deceitfully to him, nevertheless he ordered the money, and the children to be sent: lest he should bring upon himself a great hatred of the people of Israel, who might have said:\n18 Because he sent not the money, and the children, therefore is he lost.\n19 So he sent the children, and the hundred talents: and he lied, and did not let Jonathan go.\n20 And after this Tryphon entered within the country, to destroy it: and they went about by the way that leadeth to Ador: and Simon and his army marched to every place whithersoever they went.\n21 And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and send them victuals.\n22 And Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, and he came not into the country of Galaad.\n23 And when he approached to Bascama, he slew Jonathan and his sons there.\n24 And Tryphon returned, and went into his own country.\n25 And Simon sent, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, in the city of his fathers.\n26 And all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation: and they mourned for him many days.\n27 And Simon built over the sepulchre of his father and of his brethren, a building lofty to the sight, of polished stone behind and before:\n28 And he set up seven pyramids one against another for his father and his mother, and his four brethren:\n29 And round about these he set great pillars: and upon the pillars arms for a perpetual memory: and by the arms ships carved, which might be seen by all that sailed on the sea.\n30 This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin even unto this day.\n31 But Tryphon when he was upon a journey with the young king Antiochus, treacherously slew him.\n32 And he reigned in his place, and put on the crown of Asia: and brought great evils upon the land.\n33 And Simon built up the strong holds of Judea, fortifying them with high towers, and great walls, and gates, and bars: and he stored up victuals in the fortresses.\n34 And Simon chose men and sent to king Demetrius, to the end that he should grant an immunity to the land: for all that Tryphon did was to spoil.\n35 And king Demetrius in answer to this request, wrote a letter

And Joab, and Abisai his brother pursued after Seba the son of Bochri.\n11 In the mean time some men of Joab's company stopping at the dead body of Amasa, said: Behold he that would have been in Joab's stead the companion of David.\n12 And Amasa imbrued with blood, lay in the midst of the way. A certain man saw this that all the people stood still to look upon him, so he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and covered him with a garment, that they who passed might not stop on his account.\n**13 And when he was removed out of the way, all the people went on following Joab to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri.**\n14 Now he had passed through all the tribes of Israel unto Abela and Bethmaacha: and all the chosen men were gathered together unto him.\n15 And they came, and besieged him in Abela, and in Bethmaacha, and they cast up works round the city, and the city was besieged: and all the people that were with Joab, laboured to throw down the walls.\n16 And a wise woman cried out from the city: Hear, hear, and say to Joab: Come near hither, and I will speak with thee.\n17 And when he was come near to her, she said to him: Art thou Joab? And he answered: I am. And she spoke thus to him: Hear the words of thy handmaid. He answered: I do hear.\n18 And she again said: A saying was used in the old proverb: They that inquire, let them inquire in Abela: and so they made an end.\n19 Am not I she that answer truth in Israel, and thou seekest to destroy the city, and to overthrow a mother in Israel? Why wilt thou throw down the inheritance of the Lord?\n20 And Joab answering said: God forbid, God forbid that I should, I do not throw down, nor destroy.\n21 The matter is not so, but a man of mount Ephraim, Seba the son of Bochri by name, hath lifted up his hand against king David: deliver him only, and we will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab: Behold his head shall be thrown to thee from the wall.\n22 So she went to all the people, and spoke to them wisely: and they cut off the head of Seba the son of Bochri, and cast it out to Joab. And he sounded the trumpet, and they departed from the city, every one to their home: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.\n23 So Joab was over all the army of Israel: and Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethites and Phelethites,\n24 But Aduram over the tributes: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder.\n25 And Siva was scribe: and Sadoc and Abiathar, priests.\n26 And Ira the Jairite was the priest of David.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book should I look at for \"As the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, shineth in the morning without clouds, and as the grass springeth out of the earth by rain.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're asking about is in *2 Samuel*, chapter *23*.\n\nHere's the complete chapter text:\n*2 Samuel Chapter 23*\n1 Now these are David's last words.

Jesbaham sitting in the chair was the wisest chief among the three, he was like the most tender little worm of the wood, who killed eight hundred men at one onset.\n9 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three valiant men that were with David when they defied the Philistines, and they were there gathered together to battle.\n10 And when the men of Israel were gone away, he stood and smote the Philistines till his hand was weary, and grew stiff with the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day: and the people that were fled away, returned to take spoils of them that were slain.\n11 And after him was Semma the son of Age of Arari. And the Philistines were gathered together in a troop: for there was a field full of lentils. And when the people were fled from the face of the Philistines,\n12 He stood in the midst of the field, and defended it, and defeated the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great victory.\n13 Moreover also before this the three who were princes among the thirty, went down and came to David in the harvest time into the cave of Odollam: and the camp of the Philistines was in the valley of the giants.\n14 And David was then in a hold. and there was a garrison of the Philistines then in Bethlehem.\n15 And David longed, and said: O that some man would get me a drink of the water out of the cistern, that is in Bethlehem, by the gate.\n16 And the three valiant men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and brought it to David: but he would not drink, but offered it to the Lord,\n17 Saying: The Lord be merciful to me, that I may not do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went, and the peril of their lives? therefore he would not drink. These things did these three mighty men.\n18 Abisai also the brother of Joab, the son of Sarvia, was chief among three: and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he was renowned among the three,\n19 And the noblest of three, and was their chief, but to the three first he attained not.\n20 And Banaias the son of Joiada a most valiant man, of great deeds, of Cabseel: he slew the two lions of Moab, and he went down, and slew a lion in the midst of a pit, in the time of snow.\n21 He also slew an Egyptian, a man worthy to be a sight, having a spear in his hand: but he went down to him with a rod, and forced the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his own spear.\n22 These things did Banaias the son of Joiada.\n23 And he was renowned among the three valiant men, who were the most honourable among the thirty: but he attained riot to the first three: and David made him of his privy council.\n24 Asael the brother of Joab was one of the thirty, Elehanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem.\n25 Semma of Harodi, Elica of Harodi,\n26 Heles of Phalti, Hira the son of Acces of Thecua,\n27 Abiezer of Anathoth, Mobonnai of Husati,\n28 Selmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,\n29 Heled the son of Baana, also a Netophathite, Ithai the son of Ribai of Gabaath of the children of Benjamin,\n30 Banaia the Pharathonite, Heddai of the torrent Gaas,\n31 Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth of Beromi,\n32 Eliaba of Salaboni.

That the Lord may give you flesh, and you may eat:\n19 Not for one day, nor two, nor five, nor ten, no nor for twenty.\n20 But even for a month of days, till it come out at your nostrils, and become loathsome to you, because you have cast off the Lord, who is in the midst of you, and have wept before him, saying: Why came we out of Egypt?\n21 And Moses said: There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and sayest thou: I will give them flesh to eat a whole month?\n22 Shall then a multitude of sheep and oxen be killed, that it may suffice for their food? or shall the fishes of the sea be gathered together to fill them?\n23 And the Lord answered him: Is the hand of the Lord unable? Thou shalt presently see whether my word shall come to pass or no.\n24 Moses therefore came, and told the people the words of the Lord, and assembled seventy men of the ancients of Israel, and made them to stand about the tabernacle.\n25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, taking away of the spirit that was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the spirit had rested on them they prophesied, nor did they cease afterwards.\n26 Now there remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but were not gone forth to the tabernacle.\n27 And when they prophesied in the camp, there ran a young man, and told Moses, saying: Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.\n28 Forthwith Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and chosen out of many, said: My lord Moses forbid them.\n29 But he said: Why hast thou emulation for me? O that all the people might prophesy, and that the Lord would give them his spirit!\n30 And Moses returned, with the ancients of Israel, into the camp.\n31 And a wind going out from the Lord, taking quails up beyond the sea brought them, and cast them into the camp for the space of one day's journey, on every side of the camp round about, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.\n32 The people therefore rising up all that day, and night, and the next day, gathered together of quails, he that did least, ten cores: and they dried them round about the camp.\n33 As yet the flesh was between their teeth, neither had that kind of meat failed: when behold the wrath of the Lord being provoked against the people, struck them with an exceeding great plague.\n34 And that place was called, The graves of lust: for there they buried the people that had lusted.

And that day indeed he held his peace.\n5 But having gotten a convenient time to further his madness, being called to counsel by Demetrius, and asked what the Jews relied upon, and what were their counsels,\n6 He answered thereunto: They among the Jews that are called Assideans, of whom Judas Machabeus is captain, nourish wars, and raise seditions, and will not suffer the realm to be in peace.\n7 For I also being deprived of my ancestors' glory (I mean of the high priesthood) am now come hither:\n8 Principally indeed out of fidelity to the king's interests, but in the next place also to provide for the good of my countrymen: for all our nation suffereth much from the evil proceedings of those men.\n9 Wherefore, O king, seeing thou knowest all these things, take care, I beseech thee, both of the country, and of our nation, according to thy humanity which is known to all men,\n10 For as long as Judas liveth, it is not possible that the state should be quiet.\n11 Now when this man had spoken to this effect, the rest also of the king's friends, who were enemies of Judas, incensed Demetrius against him.\n12 And forthwith he sent Nicanor, the commander over the elephants, governor into Judea:\n13 Giving him in charge, to take Judas himself: and disperse all them that were with him, and to make Alcimus the high priest of the great temple.\n14 Then the Gentiles who had fled out of Judea from Judas, came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the miseries and calamities of the Jews to be the welfare of their affairs.\n15 Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the nations were assembled against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him, who chose his people to keep them for ever, and who protected his portion by evident signs.\n16 Then at the commandment of their captain, they forthwith removed from the place where they were, and went to the town of Dessau, to meet them.\n17 Now Simon the brother of Judas had joined battle with Nicanor, but was frightened with the sudden coming of the adversaries.\n18 Nevertheless Nicanor hearing of the valour of Judas' companions, and the greatness of courage with which they fought for their country, was afraid to try the matter by the sword.\n19 Wherefore he sent Posidonius, and Theodotius, and Matthias before to present and receive the right hands.\n20 And when there had been a consultation thereupon, and the captain had acquainted the multitude with it, they were all of one mind to consent to covenants.\n21 So they appointed a day upon which they might commune together by themselves: and seats were brought out, and set for each one.\n22 But Judas ordered men to be ready in convenient places, lest some mischief might be suddenly practiced by the enemies: so they made an agreeable conference.\n23 And Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no wrong, but sent away the flocks of the multitudes that had been gathered together.\n24 And Judas was always dear to him from the heart, and he was well affected to the man.\n25 And he desired him to marry a wife, and to have children. So he married: he lived quietly, and they lived in common.\n**26 But Alcimus seeing the love they had one to another, and the covenants, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor assented to the foreign interest, for that he meant to make Judas, who was a traitor to the kingdom, his successor.**\n27 Then the king being in a rage and provoked with this man's wicked accusations, wrote to Nicanor, signifying, that he was greatly displeased with the covenant of friendship: and that he commanded him nevertheless to send Machabeus prisoner in all haste to Antioch.\n28 When this was known, Nicanor was in a consternation, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles that were agreed upon, having received no injury from the man.\n29 But because he could not oppose the king, he watched an opportunity to comply with the orders.\n30 But when Machabeus perceived that Nicanor was more stern to him, and that when they met together as usual he behaved himself in a rough manner: and was sensible that this rough behaviour came not of good, he gathered together a few of his men, and hid himself from Nicanor.\n31 But he finding himself notably prevented by the man, came to the great and holy temple: and commanded the priests that were offering the accustomed sacrifices, to deliver him the man.\n32 And when they swore unto him, that they knew not where the man was whom he sought, he stretched out his hand to the temple,\n33 And swore, saying: Unless you deliver Judas prisoner to me, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and will beat down the altar, and I will dedicate this temple to Bacchus.\n34 And when he had spoken thus he departed.

Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:\n10 To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.\n11 And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.\n12 But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.\n13 Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip.

For as a vessel that a man uses when it is broken becometh useless, even so are their gods:\n16 When they are placed in the house, their eyes are full of dust by the feet of them that go in.\n17 And as the gates are made sure on every side upon one that hath offended the king, or like a dead man carried to the grave, so do the priests secure the doors with bars and locks, lest they be stripped by thieves.\n18 They light candles to them, and in great number, of which they cannot see one: but they are like beams in the house.\n19 And they say that the creeping things which are of the earth, gnaw their hearts, while they eat them and their garments, and they feel it not.\n20 Their faces are black with the smoke that is made in the house.\n21 Owls, and swallows, and other birds fly upon their bodies, and upon their heads, and cats in like manner.\n22 Whereby you may know that they are no gods.

Can those things then that are made by them be gods?\n47 But they have left false things and reproach to them that come after.\n48 For when war cometh upon them, or evils, the priests consult with themselves where they may hide themselves with them.\n**49 How then can they be thought to be gods, that can neither deliver themselves from war, nor save themselves from evils?**\n50 For seeing they are but of wood, and laid over with gold, and with silver, it shall be known hereafter that they are false things, by all nations and kings: and it shall be manifest that they are no gods, but the work of men's hands, and that there is no work of God in them.\n51 Whence therefore is it known that they are not gods, but the work of men's hands, and no work of God is in them?\n52 They cannot set up a king over the land, nor give rain to men.\n53 They determine no causes, nor deliver countries from oppression; because they can do nothing, and are as daws between heaven and earth.\n54 For when fire shall fall upon the house of these gods of wood, and of silver, and of gold, their priests indeed will flee away, and be saved: but they themselves shall be burnt in the midst like beams.\n55 And they cannot withstand a king and war. How then can it be supposed, or admitted that they are gods?\n56 Neither are these gods of wood, and of stone, and laid over with gold, and with silver, able to deliver themselves from thieves or robbers: they that are stronger than them\n57 Shall take from them the gold, and silver, and the raiment wherewith they are clothed, and shall go their way, neither shall they help themselves.\n58 Therefore it is better to be a king that sheweth his power: or else a profitable vessel in the house, with which the owner thereof will be well satisfied: or a door in the house, to keep things safe that are therein, than such false gods.\n59 The sun, and the moon, and the stars being bright, and sent forth for profitable uses, are obedient.\n60 In like manner the lightning, when it breaketh forth, is easy to be seen: and after the same manner the wind bloweth in every country.\n61 And the clouds when God commandeth them to go over the whole world, do that which is commanded them.\n62 The fire also being sent from above to consume mountains and woods, doth as it is commanded. But these neither in shew, nor in power are like to any one of them.\n63 Wherefore it is neither to be thought, nor to be said, that they are gods: since they are neither able to judge causes, nor to do any good to men.\n64 Knowing therefore that they are not gods, fear them not.\n65 For neither can they curse kings, nor bless them.\n66 Neither do they shew signs in the heaven to the nations, nor shine as the sun, nor give light as the moon.\n67 Beasts are better than they, which can fly under a covert, and help themselves.\n68 Therefore there is no manner of appearance that they are gods: so fear them not.\n69 For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing, so are their gods of wood, and of silver, and laid over with gold.\n70 They are no better than a white thorn in a garden, upon which every bird sitteth. In like manner also their gods of wood, and laid over with gold, and with silver, are like to a dead body cast forth in the dark.\n71 By the purple also and the scarlet which are motheaten upon them, you shall know that they are not gods.

Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias; how he calleth on God against Israel?\n3 Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.\n4 But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men, that have not bowed their knees to Baal.\n5 Even so then at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.\n6 And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.\n7 What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it; and the rest have been blinded.\n8 As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see; and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.\n9 And David saith: Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them.\n10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.\n11 I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall?

But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.\n19 Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.\n20 Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.\n21 For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.\n22 See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.\n23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.\n24 For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?\n25 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.\n26 And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.\n27 And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.\n28 As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.\n29 For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.\n30 For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;\n31 So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.\n32 For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.\n33 O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!\n34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord?

We therefore have commanded that these things should be told you.\n24 Now Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come again with a greater army than before to fight against him.\n25 So he went out from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amath: for he gave them no time to enter into his country.\n26 And he sent spies into their camp, and they came back and brought him word that they designed to come upon them in the night.\n27 And when the sun was set, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms all night long ready to fight, and he set sentinels round about the camp.\n28 And the enemies heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, and they were struck with fear, and dread in their heart: and they kindled fires in their camp.\n29 But Jonathan and they that were with him knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.\n30 And Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they had passed the river Eleutherus.\n31 And Jonathan turned upon the Arabians that are called Zabadeans: and he defeated them, and took the spoils of them.\n32 And he went forward, and came to Damascus, and passed through all that country.\n33 Simon also went forth, and came as far as Ascalon, and the neighbouring fortresses, and he turned aside to Joppe, and took possession of it,\n34 (For he heard that they designed to deliver the hold to them that took part with Demetrius,) and he put a garrison there to keep it.\n35 And Jonathan came back, and called together the ancients of the people, and he took a resolution with them to build fortresses in Judea,\n36 And to build up walls in Jerusalem, and raise a mount between the castle and the city, to separate it from the city, that so it might have no communication, and that they might neither buy nor sell.\n37 And they came together to build up the city: for the wall that was upon the brook towards the east was broken down, and he repaired that which is called Caphetetha:\n38 And Simon built Adiada in Sephela, and fortified it, and set up gates and bars.\n39 Now when Tryphon had conceived a design to make himself king of Asia, and to take the crown, and to stretch out his hand against king Antiochus:\n40 Fearing lest Jonathan would not suffer him, but would fight against him: he sought to seize upon him, and to kill him. So he rose up and came to Bethsan.\n41 And Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for battle, and came to Bethsan.\n42 Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with a great army, he durst not stretch forth his hand against him,\n43 But received him with honour, and commended him to all his friends, and gave him presents: and he commanded his troops to obey him, as himself.\n44 And he said to Jonathan: Why hast thou troubled all the people, whereas we have no war?\n45 Now therefore send them back to their own houses: and choose thee a few men that may be with thee, and come with me to Ptolemais, and I will deliver it to thee, and the rest of the strong holds, and the army, and all that have any charge, and I will return and go away: for this is the cause of my coming.\n46 And Jonathan believed him, and did as he said: and sent away his army, and they departed into the land of Juda:\n47 But he kept with him three thousand men: of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him.\n48 Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates of the city, and took him: and all them that came in with him they slew with the sword.\n49 Then Tryphon sent an army and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain to destroy all Jonathan's company.\n50 But they, when they understood that Jonathan and all that were with him were taken and slain, encouraged one another, and went out ready for battle.\n51 Then they that had come after them, seeing that they stood for their lives, returned back.\n**52 Whereupon they all came peaceably into the land of Juda.

order thy hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all offence.\n11 Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour, and make a fat offering, and then give place to the physician.\n12 For the Lord

came to pass, when Judith a widow had heard these words, who was the daughter of Merari, the son of Idox, the son of Joseph, the son of Ozias, the son of Elai, the son of Jamnor, the son of Gedeon, the son of Raphaim, the son of Achitob, the son of Melehias, the son of Enan, the son of Nathanias, the son of Salathiel, the son of Simeon, the son of Ruben:\n2 And her husband was Manasses, who died in the time of the barley harvest:\n3 For he was standing over them that bound sheaves in the field; and the heat came upon his head, and he died in Bethulia his own city, and was buried there with his fathers.\n4 And Judith his relict was a widow now three years and six months.\n**5 And she made herself a private chamber in the upper part of her house, in which she abode shut up with her maids.**\n6 And she wore haircloth upon her loins, and fasted all the days of her life, except the sabbaths, and new moons, and the feasts of the house of Israel.\n7 And she was exceedingly beautiful, and her husband left her great riches, and very many servants, and large possessions of herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep.\n8 And she was greatly renowned among all, because she feared the Lord very much, neither was there any one that spoke an ill word of her.\n9 When therefore she had heard that Ozias had promised that he would deliver up the city after the fifth day, she sent to the ancients Chabri and Charmi.\n10 And they came to her, and she said to them: What is this word, by which Ozias hath consented to give up the city to the Assyrians, if within five days there come no aid to us?\n11 And who are you that tempt the Lord?\n12 This is not a word that may draw down mercy, but rather that may stir up wrath, and enkindle indignation.\n13 You have set a time for the mercy of the Lord, and you have appointed him a day, according to your pleasure.\n14 But forasmuch as the Lord is patient, let us be penitent for this same thing, and with many tears let us beg his pardon:\n15 For God will not threaten like man, nor be inflamed to anger like the son of man.\n16 And therefore let us humble our souls before him, and continuing in an humble spirit, in his service:\n17 Let us ask the Lord with tears, that according to his will so he would shew his mercy to us: that as our heart is troubled by their pride, so also we may glorify in our humility.\n18 For we have not followed the sins of our fathers, who forsook their God, and worshipped strange gods.\n19 For which crime they were given up to their enemies, to the sword, and to pillage, and to confusion: but we know no other God but him.\n20 Let us humbly wait for his consolation, and the Lord our God will require our blood of the afflictions of our enemies, and he will humble all the nations that shall rise up against us, and bring them to disgrace.\n21 And now, brethren, as you are the ancients among the people of God, and their very soul resteth upon you: comfort their hearts by your speech, that they may be mindful how our fathers were tempted that they might be proved, whether they worshipped their God truly.\n22 They must remember how our father Abraham was tempted, and being proved by many tribulations, was made the friend of God.\n23 So Isaac, so Jacob, so Moses, and all that have pleased God, passed through many tribulations, remaining faithful.\n24 But they that did not receive the trials with the fear of the Lord, but uttered their impatience and the reproach of their murmuring against the Lord,\n25 Were destroyed by the destroyer, and perished by serpents.\n26 As for us therefore let us not revenge ourselves for these things which we suffer.\n27 But esteeming these very punishments to be less than our sins deserve, let us believe that these scourges of the Lord, with which like servants we are chastised, have happened for our amendment, and not for our destruction.\n28 And Ozias and the ancients said to her: All things which thou hast spoken are true, and there is nothing to be reprehended in thy words.\n29 Now therefore pray for us, for thou art a holy woman, and one fearing God.\n30 And Judith said to them: As you know that what I have been able to say is of God:\n31 So that which I intend to do prove ye if it be of God, and pray that God may strengthen my design.\n32 You shall stand at the gate this night, and I will go out with my maidservant: and pray ye, that as you have said, in five days the Lord may look down upon his people Israel.\n33 But I desire that you search not into what I am doing, and till I bring you word let nothing else be done but to pray for me to the Lord our God.\n34 And Ozias the prince of Juda said to her: Go in peace, and the Lord be with thee to take revenge of our enemies.

To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest.\n11 For if I have injured them, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them: I appeal to Caesar.\n**12 Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.**\n13 And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.\n14 And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.\n15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.\n16 To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.\n17 When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.\n18 Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:\n19 But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.\n20 I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.\n21 But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.\n22 And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.\n23 And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp, and had entered into the hall of audience, with the tribunes, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment, Paul was brought forth.\n24 And Festus saith: King Agrippa, and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer.\n25 Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death.

And he went, and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them.\n5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.\n6 And he promised.

Do this for a commemoration of me.\n20 In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.\n21 But yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.\n22 And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.\n23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.\n24 And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.\n25 And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.\n26 But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.\n27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:\n28 And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:\n29 And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;\n30 That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.\n31 And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:\n32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.\n33 Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.\n34 And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me.

Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.\n37 For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked was he reckoned.

which king Alexander, son of Philip the Macedonian that reigned first in Greece, had left there.\n3 Lo, he came, and sought to take the city and to pillage it: But he was not able, because the design was known to them that were in the city.\n4 And they rose up against him in battle, and he fled away from thence, and departed with great sadness, and returned towards Babylonia.\n5 And whilst he was in Persia, there came one that told him, how the armies that were in the land of Juda were put to flight:\n6 And that Lysias went with a very great power, and was put to flight before the face of the Jews, and that they were grown strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which they had gotten out of the camps which they had destroyed:\n7 And that they had thrown down the abomination

words, that he was struck with fear, and exceedingly moved: and he laid himself down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not fallen out to him as he imagined.\n9 And he remained there many days: for great grief came more and more and more upon him, and he made account that he should die.\n10 And he called for all his friends, and said to them: Sleep is gone from my eyes, and I am fallen away, and my heart is cast down for anxiety.\n11 And I said in my heart: Into how much tribulation am I come, and into what floods of sorrow, wherein now I am: I that was pleasant and beloved in my power!\n12 But now I remember the evils that I have done in Jerusalem, from whence also I took away all the spoils of gold, and of silver that were in it, and I sent to destroy the inhabitants of Juda without cause.\n13 I know therefore that for this cause these evils have found me: and behold I perish with great grief in a strange land.\n14 Then he called Philip, one of his

strong wooden towers, which covered every one of them: and engines upon them: and upon every one thirty-two valiant men, who fought from above; and an Indian to rule the beast.\n38 And the rest of the horsemen he placed on this side and on that side at the two wings, with trumpets to stir up the army, and to hasten them forward that stood thick together in the legions thereof.\n39 Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold, and of brass, the mountains glittered therewith, and they shone like lamps of fire.\n40 And part of the king's army was distinguished by the high mountains, and the other part by the low places: and they marched on warily and orderly.\n41 And all the inhabitants of the land were moved at the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the armour, for the army was exceeding great and strong.\n42 And Judas and his army drew near for battle: and there fell of the king's army six hundred men.\n43 And Eleazar the son of Saura saw one of the beasts harnessed with the king's harness: and it was higher than the other beasts: and it seemed to him that the king was on it:\n44 And he exposed himself to deliver his people and to get himself an everlasting name.\n45 And he ran up to it boldly in the midst of the legion, killing on the right hand, and on the left, and they fell by him on this side and that side.\n46 And he went between the feet of the elephant, and put himself under it: and slew it, and it fell to the ground upon him, and he died there.\n47 Then they seeing the strength of the king and the fierceness of his army, turned away from them.\n48 But the king's army went up against them to Jerusalem: and the king's army pitched their tents against Judea and mount Sion.\n**49 And he made peace with them that were in Bethsura: and they came forth out of the city, because they had no victuals, being shut up there, for it was the year of rest to the land.**\n50 And the king took Bethsura: and he placed there a garrison to keep it.\n51 And he turned his army against the sanctuary for many days: and he set up there battering slings, and engines and instruments to cast fire, and engines to cast stones and javelins, and pieces to shoot arrows, and slings.\n52 And they also made engines against their engines, and they fought for many days.\n53 But there were no victuals in the city, because it was the seventh year: and such as had stayed in Judea of them that came from among the nations, had eaten the residue of all that which had been stored up.\n54 And there remained in the holy places but a few, for the famine had prevailed over them: and they were dispersed every man to his own place.\n55 Now Lysias heard that Philip, whom king Antiochus while he lived had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, and to reign, to be king,\n56 Was returned from Persia, and Media, with the army that went with him, and that he sought to take upon him the affairs of the kingdom:\n57 Wherefore he made haste to go, and say to the king and to the captains of the army: We decay daily, and our provision of victuals is small, and the place that we lay siege to is strong, and it lieth upon us to take order for the affairs of the kingdom.\n58 Now therefore let us come to an agreement with these men, and make peace with them and with all their nation.\n59 And let us covenant with them, that they may live according to their own laws as before. For because of our despising their laws, they have been provoked, and have done all these things.\n60 And the proposal was acceptable in the sight of the king, and of the princes: and he sent to them to make peace: and they accepted of it.\n61 And the king and the princes swore to them: and they came out of the stronghold.\n62 Then the king entered into mount Sion, and saw the strength of the place: and he quickly broke the oath that he had taken, and gave commandment to throw down the wall round about.\n63 And he departed in haste, and returned to Antioch, where he found Philip master of the city: and he fought against him, and took the city.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What does 1 Samuel chapter 16 verse 8 say?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, 1 Samuel chapter 16, verse 8 (Douay Rheims) says:\n\"And Isai called Abinadab, and brought him before Samuel.

For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant.\n3 Therefore Adonisedec king of Jerusalem sent to Oham king of Hebron, and to Pharam king of Jerimoth, and to Japhia king of Lachis, and to Dabir king of Eglon, saying:\n4 Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Josue, and to the children of Israel.\n5 So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it.\n6 But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us.\n7 And Josue went up from Galgal, and all the army of the warriors with him, most valiant men.\n8 And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to stand against thee.\n9 So Josue going up from Galgal all the night, came upon them suddenly.\n10 And the Lord troubled them at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda.\n11 And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel.\n12 Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon.\n13 And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies.

So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day.\n14 There was not before nor after so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.\n15 And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.\n16 For the five kings were fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.\n17 And it was told Josue that the five kings were found hidden in a cave of the city of Maceda.\n18 And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men, to keep them shut up:\n19 And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands to shelter themselves in their cities.\n20 So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities.\n21 And all the army returned to Josue in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.\n22 And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.\n23 And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought out to him the five kings out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon.\n24 And when they were Drought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them,\n25 He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.\n26 And Josue struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gibbets, and they hung until the evening.\n27 And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets.

For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification.\n6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?\n**7 Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?**\n8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?\n9 So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.\n10 There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.\n11 If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me.\n12 So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.\n13 And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.\n14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit.\n15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding.\n16 Else if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? because he knoweth not what thou sayest.\n17 For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.\n18 I thank my God I speak with all your tongues.\n19 But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also; than ten thousand words in a tongue.\n20 Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.\n21 In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord.\n22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.\n23 If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad?\n24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all.\n25 The secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed.\n26 How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification.\n27 If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret.\n28 But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God.\n29 And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.\n30 But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.\n31 For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:\n32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.\n33 For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.\n34 Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.\n35 But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.\n36 Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?\n37 If any seem to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord.\n38 But if any man know not, he shall not be known.\n39 Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues.\n40 But let all things be done decently, and according to order.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Show me 1 Kings 22:25", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the Old Testament, in 1 Kings 22:25 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"And Micheas said: Thou shalt see in the day when thou shalt go into a chamber within a chamber to hide thyself.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What does 1 Samuel chapter 11 verse 11 say?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the Old Testament, in 1 Samuel 11:11 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"And it came to pass, when the morrow was come that Saul put the people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Quote from 2 Maccabees chapter 7, verse 18", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture from the Old Testament at 2 Maccabees 7:18 (Douay Rheims) is:\n\"After him they brought the sixth, and he being ready to die, spoke thus: Be not deceived without cause: for we suffer these things for ourselves, having sinned against our God, and things worthy of admiration are done to us:\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book should I look at for \"And he shall fix his tabernacle Apadno between the seas, upon a glorious and holy mountain: and he shall come even to the top thereof, and none shall help him.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you've got in mind is from *Daniel*, chapter *11*.\n\nHere's the full rundown of the chapter:\n*Daniel Chapter 11*\n1 And from the first year of Darius the Mede I stood up that he might be strengthened and confirmed.\n2 And now I will shew thee the truth.

She that was free is made a slave.\n12 And behold our sanctuary, and our beauty, and our glory is laid waste, and the Gentiles have defiled them.\n13 To what end then should we live any longer?\n14 And Mathathias and his sons rent their garments, and they covered themselves with haircloth, and made great lamentation.\n15 And they that were sent from king Antiochus came thither, to compel them that were fled into the city of Modin, to sacrifice, and to burn incense, and to depart from the law of God.\n16 And many of the people of Israel consented, and came to them: but Mathathias and his sons stood firm.\n17 And they that were sent from Antiochus, answering, said to Mathathias: Thou art a ruler, and an honourable, and great man in this city, and adorned with sons, and brethren.\n18 Therefore come thou first, and obey the king's commandment, as all nations have done, and the men of Juda, and they that remain in Jerusalem: and thou, and thy sons, shall be in the number of the king's friends, and enriched with gold, and silver, and many presents.\n19 Then Mathathias answered, and said with a loud voice: Although all nations obey king Antiochus, so as to depart every man from the service of the law of his fathers, and consent to his commandments:\n20 I and my sons, and my brethren will obey the law of our fathers.\n21 God be merciful unto us: it is not profitable for us to forsake the law, and the justices of God:\n22 We will not hearken to the words of king Antiochus, neither will we sacrifice, and transgress the commandments of our law, to go another way.\n23 Now as he left off speaking these words, there came a certain Jew in the sight of all to sacrifice to the idols upon the altar in the city of Modin, according to the king's commandment.\n24 And Mathathias saw and was grieved, and his reins trembled, and his wrath was kindled according to the judgment of the law, and running upon him he slew him upon the altar:\n25 Moreover the man whom king Antiochus had sent, who compelled them to sacrifice, he slew at the same time, and pulled down the altar.\n26 And shewed zeal for the law, as Phinees did by Zamri the son of Salomi.\n27 And Mathathias cried out in the city with a loud voice, saying: Every one that hath zeal for the law, and maintaineth the testament, let him follow me.\n28 So he, and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that they had in the city.\n29 Then many that sought after judgment, and justice, went down into the desert:\n30 And they abode there, they and their children, and their wives, and their cattle: because afflictions increased upon them.\n31 And it was told to the king's men, and to the army that was in Jerusalem in the city of David, that certain men who had broken the king's commandment, were gone away into the secret places in the wilderness, and that many were gone after them.\n32 And forthwith they went out towards them, and made war against them on the sabbath day,\n33 And they said to them: Do you still resist? come forth, and do according to the edict of king Antiochus, and you shall live.\n34 And they said: We will not come forth, neither will we obey the king's edict, to profane the sabbath day.\n35 And they made haste to give them battle.\n36 But they answered them not, neither did they cast a stone at them, nor stopped up the secret places,\n37 Saying: Let us all die in our innocency: and heaven and earth shall be witnesses for us, that you put us to death wrongfully.\n38 So they gave them battle on the sabbath: and they were slain with their wives, and their children, and their cattle, to the number of a thousand persons.\n39 And Mathathias and his friends heard of it, and they mourned for them exceedingly.\n40 And every man said to his neighbour: If we shall all do as our brethren have done, and not fight against the heathens for our lives, and our justifications: they will now quickly root us out of the earth.\n41 And they determined in that day, saying: Whosoever shall come up against us to fight on the sabbath day, we will fight against him: and we will not all die, as our brethren that were slain in the secret places.\n42 Then was assembled to them the congregation of the Assideans, the stoutest of Israel, every one that had a good will for the law.\n43 And all they that fled from the evils, joined themselves to them, and were a support to them.\n44 And they gathered an army, and slew the sinners in their wrath, and the wicked men in their indignation: and the rest fled to the nations for safety.\n45 And Mathathias and his friends went round about, and they threw down the altars:\n46 And they circumcised all the children whom they found in the confines of Israel that were uncircumcised: and they did valiantly.\n47 And they pursued after the children of pride, and the work prospered in their hands:\n48 And they recovered the law out of the hands of the nations, and out of the hands of the kings: and they yielded not the horn to the sinner.\n49 Now the days drew near that Mathathias should die, and he said to his sons: Now hath pride and chastisement gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation:\n50 Now therefore, O my sons, be ye zealous for the law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers.\n51 And call to remembrance the works of the fathers, which they have done in their generations: and you shall receive great glory, and an everlasting name.\n52 Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was reputed to him unto justice?\n**53 Joseph in the time of his distress kept the commandment, and he was made lord of Egypt.**\n54 Phinees our father, by being fervent in the zeal of God, received the covenant of an everlasting priesthood.\n55 Jesus, whilst he fulfilled the word, was made ruler in Israel.\n56 Caleb, for bearing witness before the congregation, received an inheritance.\n57 David by his mercy obtained the throne of an everlasting kingdom.\n58 Elias, while he was full of zeal for the law, was taken up into heaven.\n59 Ananias and Azarias and Misael by believing, were delivered out of the flame.\n60 Daniel in his innocency was delivered out of the mouth of the lions.\n61 And thus consider through all generations: that none that trust in him fail in strength.\n62 And fear not the words of a sinful man, for his glory is dung, and worms:\n63 To day he is lifted up, and to morrow he shall not be found, because he is returned into his earth; and his thought is come to nothing.\n64 You therefore, my sons, take courage, and behave manfully in the law: for by it you shall be glorious.\n65 And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel: give ear to him always, and he shall be a father to you.\n66 And Judas Machabeus who is valiant and strong from his youth up, let him be the leader of your army, and he shall manage the war of the people.\n67 And you shall take to you all that observe the law: and revenge ye the wrong of your people.\n68 Render to the Gentiles their reward, and take heed to the precepts of the law.\n69 And he blessed them, and was joined to his fathers.\n70 And he died in the

And quickly she let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him drink.\n19 And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink.\n20 And pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water: and having drawn she gave to all the camels.\n21 But he musing beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.\n22 And after that the camels had drunk, the man took out golden earrings, weighing two sicles: and as many bracelets of ten sicles weight.\n23 And he said to her: Whose daughter art thou? tell me: is there any place in thy father's house to lodge?\n24 And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.\n25 And she said moreover to him: We have good store of both straw and hay, and a large place to lodge in.\n26 The man bowed himself down, and adored the Lord,\n27 Saying: Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not taken away his mercy and truth from my master, and hath brought me the straight way into the house of my master's brother.\n28 Then the maid ran, and told in her mother's house, all that she had heard.\n29 And Rebecca had a brother named Laban, who went out in haste to the man, to the well.\n30 And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister's hands, and had heard all that she related, saying: Thus and thus the man spoke to me: he came to the man who stood by the camels, and near to the spring of water,\n31 And said to him: Come in, thou blessed of the Lord: why standest thou without? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.\n32 And he brought him in into his lodging: and he unharnessed the camels and gave straw and hay, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were come with him.\n**33 And bread was set before him. But he said: I will not eat, till I tell my message. He answered him: Speak.**\n34 And he said: I am the servant of Abraham:\n35 And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, and he is become great: and he hath given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, menservants and womenservants, camels and asses.\n36 And Sara my master's wife hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had.\n37 And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell:\n38 But thou shalt go to my father's house, and shalt take a wife of my own kindred for my son:\n39 But I answered my master: What if the woman will not come with me?\n40 The Lord, said he, in whose sight I walk, will send his angel with thee, and will direct thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my own kindred, and of my father's house.\n41 But thou shalt be clear from my curse, when thou shalt come to my kindred, if they will not give thee one.\n42 And I came to day to the well of water, and said: O Lord God of my master Abraham, if thou hast prospered my way, wherein I now walk,\n43 Behold I stand by the well of water, and the virgin, that shall come out to draw water, who shall hear me say: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher:\n44 And shall say to me: Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman, whom the Lord hath prepared for my master's son.\n45 And whilst I pondered these things secretly with myself, Rebecca appeared coming with a pitcher, which she carried on her shoulder: and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her: Give me a little to drink.\n46 And she speedily let down the pitcher from her shoulder, and said to me: Both drink thou, and to thy camels I will give drink. I drank, and she watered the camels.\n47 And I asked her, and said: Whose daughter art thou? And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him. So I put earrings on her to adorn her face, and I put bracelets on her hands.\n48 And falling down I adored the Lord, blessing the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath brought me the straight way to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.\n49 Wherefore if you do according to mercy and truth with my master, tell me: but if it please you otherwise, tell me that also, that I may go to the right hand, or to the left.\n50 And Laban and Bathuel answered: The word hath proceeded from the Lord, we cannot speak any other thing to thee but his pleasure.\n51 Behold Rebecca is before thee, take her and go thy way, and let her be the wife of thy master's son, as the Lord hath spoken.\n52 Which when Abraham's servant heard, falling down to the ground he adored the Lord.\n53 And bringing forth vessels of silver and gold, and garments, he gave them to Rebecca for a present. He offered gifts also to her brothers, and to her mother.\n54 And a banquet was made, and they ate and drank together, and lodged there. And in the morning, the servant arose, and said: Let me depart, that I may go to my master.\n55 And her brother and mother answered: Let the maid stay at least ten days with us, and afterwards she shall depart.\n56 Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master.\n57 And they said: Let us call the maid, and ask her will.\n58 And they called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? She said: I will go.\n59 So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his company,\n60 Wishing prosperity to their sister, and saying: Thou art our sister, mayst thou increase to thousands of thousands, and may thy seed possess the gates of their enemies.\n61 So Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master.\n62 At the same time Isaac was walking along the way to the well which is called Of the living and the seeing: for he dwelt in the south country.\n63 And he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off.\n64 Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted off the camel,\n65 And said to the servant: Who is that man who cometh towards us along the field? And he said to her: That man is my master. But she quickly took her cloak, and covered herself.\n66 And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.\n67 Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother's death.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death, for the redemption of those transgressions, which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture \"And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death, for the redemption of those transgressions, which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.\" is located in Hebrews 9:15 of the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Verse 15 from chapter 52 in Jeremiah?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, Jeremiah chapter 52, verse 15 (Douay Rheims) says:\n\"But Nabuzardan the general carried away captives some of the poor people, and of the rest of the common sort who remained in the city, and of the fugitives that were fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book is the verse \"These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace.

Nevertheless he prevailed not to accomplish his design.\n6 So Nicanor being puffed up with exceeding great pride, thought to set up a public monument of his victory over Judas.\n7 But Machabeus ever trusted with all hope that God would help them.\n8 And he exhorted his people not to fear the coming of the nations, but to remember the help they had before received from heaven, and now to hope for victory from the Almighty.\n9 And speaking to them out of the law, and the prophets, and withal putting them in mind of the battles they had fought before, he made them more cheerful:\n10 Then after he had encouraged them, he shewed withal the falsehood of the Gentiles, and their breach of oaths.\n11 So he armed every one of them, not with defence of shield and spear, but with very good speeches and exhortations, and told them a dream worthy to be believed, whereby he rejoiced them all.\n12 Now the vision was in this manner: Onias who had been high priest, a good and virtuous man, modest in his looks, gentle in his manners, and graceful in his speech, and who from a child was exercised in virtues, holding up his hands, prayed for all the people of the Jews:\n13 After this there appeared also another man, admirable for age, and glory, and environed with great beauty and majesty:\n14 Then Onias answering, said: This is a lover of his brethren, and of the people of Israel: this is he that prayeth much for the people, and for all the holy city, Jeremias the prophet of God.\n15 Whereupon Jeremias stretched forth his right hand, and gave to Judas a sword of gold, saying:\n16 Take this holy sword a gift from God, wherewith thou shalt overthrow the adversaries of my people Israel.\n17 Thus being exhorted with the words of Judas, which were very good, and proper to stir up the courage, and strengthen the hearts of the young men, they resolved to fight, and to set upon them manfully: that valour might decide the matter, because the holy city and the temple were in danger.\n18 For their concern was less for their wives, and children, and for their brethren, and kinsfolks: but their greatest and principal fear was for the holiness of the temple.\n19 And they also that were in the city, had no little concern for them that were to be engaged in battle.\n20 And now when all expected what judgment would be given, and the enemies were at hand, and the army was set in array, the beasts and the horsemen ranged in convenient places,\n21 Machabeus considering the coming of the multitude, and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretching out his hands to heaven, called upon the Lord, that worketh wonders, who giveth victory to them that are worthy, not according to the power of their arms, but according as it seemeth good to him.\n22 And in his prayer he said after this manner: Thou, O Lord, who didst send thy angel in the time of Ezechias king of Juda, and didst kill a hundred and eighty-five thousand of the army of Sennacherib:\n**23 Send now also, O Lord of heaven, thy good angel before us, for the fear and dread of the greatness of thy arm,**\n24 That they may be afraid, who come with blasphemy against thy holy people.

demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither your brother with you?\n8 And Juda said to his father: Send the boy with me, that we may set forward, and may live: lest both we and our children perish.\n9 I take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever.\n10 If delay had not been made, we

And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.\n14 But they passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down.\n15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak.\n16 Then Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.\n17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out from thence,\n18 And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert.\n19 And destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, divided their land among them, by lot,\n20 As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet.\n21 And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.\n22 And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.\n23 Of this man's seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:\n24 John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.\n25 And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.\n26 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent.\n27 For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.\n28 And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.\n29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.\n30 But God raised him up from the dead the third day:\n31 Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.\n32 And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,\n33 This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.\n34 And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David faithful.\n35 And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption.\n36 For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.\n37 But he whom God hath raised from the dead, saw no corruption.\n38 Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.\n39 In him every one that believeth, is justified.\n40 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:\n41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you.\n42 And as they went out, they desired them, that on the next sabbath, they would speak unto them these words.\n43 And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.\n44 But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God.\n45 And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.\n46 Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles.\n47 For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.\n48 And the Gentiles hearing it, were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting, believed.\n49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country.\n**50 But the Jews stirred up religious and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas: and cast them out of their coasts.**\n51 But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.\n52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book and chapter for \"And Daniel made answer before the king, and said: The secret that the king desireth to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, or the diviners, or the soothsayers can declare to the king.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're referencing is from the book *Daniel*, chapter *2*.\n\nHere's the full chapter:\n*Daniel Chapter 2*\n1 In the second year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, Nabuchodonosor had a dream, and his spirit was terrified, and his dream went out of his mind.\n2 Then the king commanded to call together the diviners and the wise men, and the magicians, and the Chaldeans: to declare to the king his dreams: so they came and stood before the king.\n3 And the king said to them: I saw a dream: and being troubled in mind I know not what I saw.\n4 And the Chaldeans answered the king in Syriac: O king, live for ever: tell to thy servants thy dream, and we will declare the interpretation thereof.\n5 And the king answering said to the Chaldeans: The thing is gone out of my mind: unless you tell me the dream, and the meaning thereof, you shall be put to death, and your houses shall be confiscated.\n6 But if you tell the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall receive of me rewards, and gifts, and great honour: therefore tell me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.\n7 They answered again and said: Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will declare the interpretation of it.\n8 The king answered, and said: I know for certain that you seek to gain time, since you know that the thing is gone from me.\n9 If therefore you tell me not the dream, there is one sentence concerning you, that you have also framed a lying interpretation, and full of deceit, to speak before me till the time pass away. Tell me therefore the dream, that I may know that you also give a true interpretation thereof.\n10 Then the Chaldeans answered before the king, and said: There is no man upon earth, that can accomplish thy word, O king, neither doth any king, though great and mighty, ask such a thing of any diviner, or wise man, or Chaldean.\n11 For the thing that thou askest, O king, is difficult; nor can any one be found that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men.\n12 Upon hearing this, the king in fury, and in great wrath, commanded that all the wise men of Babylon should be put to death.\n13 And the decree being gone forth, the wise men were slain: and Daniel and his companions were sought for, to be put to death.\n14 Then Daniel inquired concerning the law and the sentence, of Arioch the general of the king's army, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon.\n15 And he asked him that had received the orders of the king, why so cruel a sentence was gone forth from the face of the king. And when Arioch had told the matter to Daniel,\n16 Daniel went in and desired of the king, that he would give him time to resolve the question and declare it to the king.\n17 And he went into his house, and told the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias his companions:\n18 To the end that they should ask mercy at the face of the God of heaven concerning this secret, and that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.\n19 Then was the mystery revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night: and Daniel blessed the God of heaven,\n20 And speaking he said: Blessed be the name of the Lord from eternity and for evermore: for wisdom and fortitude are his.\n21 And he changeth times and ages: taketh away kingdoms and establisheth them, giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding.\n22 He revealeth deep and hidden things, and knoweth what is in darkness: and light is with him.\n23 To thee, O God of our fathers, I give thanks, and I praise thee: because thou hast given me wisdom and strength: and now thou hast shewn me what we desired of thee, for thou hast made known to us, the king's discourse.\n24 After this Daniel went in to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke thus to him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will tell the solution to the king.\n25 Then Arioch in haste brought in Daniel to the king, and said to him: I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Juda, that will resolve the question to the king.\n26 The king answered, and said to Daniel, whose name was Baltassar: Thinkest thou indeed that thou canst tell me the dream that I saw, and the interpretation thereof?\n**27 And Daniel made answer before the king, and said: The secret that the king desireth to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, or the diviners, or the soothsayers can declare to the king.**\n28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth mysteries, who hath shewn to thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, what is to come to pass in the latter times. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:\n29 Thou, O king, didst begin to think in thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth mysteries shewed thee what shall come to pass.\n30 To me also this secret is revealed, not by any wisdom that I have more than all men alive: but that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and thou mightest know the thoughts of thy mind.\n31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold there was as it were a great statue: this statue, which was great and high, tall of stature, stood before thee, and the look thereof was terrible.\n32 The head of this statue was of fine gold, but the breast and the arms of silver, and the belly and the thighs of brass:\n33 And the legs of iron, the feet part of iron and part of clay.\n34 Thus thou sawest, till a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands: and it struck the statue upon the feet thereof that were of iron and of clay, and broke them in pieces.\n35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of a summer's thrashingfloor, and they were carried away by the wind: and there was no place found for them: but the stone that struck the statue, became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.\n36 This is the dream: we will also tell the interpretation thereof before thee, O king.\n37 Thou art a king of kings: and the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, and strength, and power, and glory:\n38 And all places wherein the children of men, and the beasts of the field do dwell: he hath also given the birds of the air into thy hand, and hath put all things under thy power: thou therefore art the head of gold.\n39 And after thee shall rise up another kingdom, inferior to thee, of silver: and another third kingdom of brass, which shall rule over all the world.\n40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as iron. As iron breaketh into pieces, and subdueth all things, so shall that break and destroy all these.\n41 And whereas thou sawest the feet, and the toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron: the kingdom shall be divided, but yet it shall take its origin from the iron, according as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay.\n42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.\n43 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall be mingled indeed together with the seed of man, but they shall not stick fast one to another, as iron cannot be mixed with clay.\n44 But in the days of those kingdoms the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people, and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms, and itself shall stand for ever.\n45 According as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke in pieces, the clay, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewn the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof is faithful.\n46 Then king Nabuchodonosor fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense.\n47 And the king spoke to Daniel, and said: Verily your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and a revealer of hidden things: seeing thou couldst discover this secret.\n48 Then the king advanced Daniel to a high station, and gave him many and great gifts: and he made him governor over all the provinces of Babylon, and chief of the magistrates over all the wise men of Babylon.\n49 And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago over the works of the province of Babylon: but Daniel himself was in the king's palace.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you quote Esther 6:1 for me?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, Esther chapter 6, verse 1 (Douay Rheims) says:\n\"That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought him.

After whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.\n6 And Juda took a wife for Her his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.\n7 And Her, the firstborn of Juda, was wicked in the sight of the Lord: and was slain by him.\n8 Juda, therefore said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother's wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother.\n9 He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother's wife, spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother's name.\n10 And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing.\n11 Wherefore Juda said to Thamar his daughter in law: Remain a widow in thy father's house, till Sela my son grow up: for he was afraid lest he also might die, as his brethren did. She went her way and dwelt in her father's house.\n12 And after many days were past, the daughter of Sue the wife of Juda died: and when he had taken comfort after his mourning, he went up to Thamnas, to the shearers of his sheep, he and Hiras the Odollamite the shepherd of his flock.\n13 And it was told Thamar that her father in law was come up to Thamnas to shear his sheep.\n14 And she put off the garments of her widowhood, and took a veil: and changing her dress, sat in the cross way, that leadeth to Thamnas: because Sela was grown up, and she had not been married to him.\n15 When Juda saw her, he thought she was a harlot: for she had covered her face, lest she should be known.\n16 And going to her, he said: Suffer me to lie with thee: for he knew her not to be his daughter in law. And she answered: What wilt thou give me to enjoy my company?\n17 He said: I will send thee a kid out of the flock. And when she said again: I will suffer what thou wilt, if thou give a pledge, till thou send what thou promisest,\n18 Juda said: What wilt thou have for a pledge? She answered: Thy ring and bracelet, and the staff which thou holdest in thy hand. The woman therefore at one copulation conceived.\n19 And she arose and went her way: and putting off the apparel which she had taken, put on the garments of her widowhood.\n20 And Juda sent a kid by his shepherd, the Odollamite, that he might receive the pledge again, which he had given to the woman: but he, not finding her,\n21 Asked the men of that place: Where is the woman that sat in the cross way?

And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men: and two hundred remained with the baggage.\n14 But one of the servants told Abigail the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected them.\n15 These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: neither did we ever lose any thing all the time that we conversed with them in the desert.\n16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.\n17 Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can speak to him.\n18 Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of dry figs, and laid them upon asses:\n19 And she said to her servants: Go before me: behold I will follow after you: but she told not her husband Nabal.\n20 And when she had gotten upon an ass, and was coming down to the foot of the mountain, David and his men came down over against her, and she met them.\n21 And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this man in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.\n22 May God do so and so, and add more to the foes of David, if I leave of all that belong to him till the morning, any that pisseth against the wall.\n23 And when Abigail saw David she made haste and lighted off the ass, and fell before David, on her face, and adored upon the ground.\n24 And she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears: and hear the words of thy servant.\n25 Let not my lord the king, I pray, regard this naughty man Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest.\n26 Now therefore, my lord, the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now let thy enemies be as Nabal, and all they that seek evil to my lord.\n27 Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, my lord.\n28 Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life.\n29 For if a man at any time shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling.\n30 And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince over Israel,\n31 This shall not be an occasion of grief to thee, and a scruple of heart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or hast revenged thyself: and when the Lord shall have done well by my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaid.\n32 And David said to Abigail: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy speech:\n33 And blessed be thou, who hast kept me to day, from coming to blood, and revenging me with my own hand.\n**34 Otherwise as the Lord liveth the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil: if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.**\n35 And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and have honoured thy face.\n36 And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king, and Nabal's heart was merry: for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning.\n37 But early in the morning when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.\n38 And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.\n39 And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. Then David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife.\n40 And David's servants came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying: David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife.\n41 And she arose and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, and said: Behold, let thy servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.\n42 And Abigail arose, and made haste, and got upon an ass, and five damsels went with her, her waiting maids, and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.\n43 Moreover David took also Achinoam of Jezrahel: and they were both of them his wives.\n44 But Saul gave Michol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallium.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Read me 1 Thessalonians 4:15", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**New Testament**\n*1 Thessalonians 4:15 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment, and with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ, shall rise first.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you read 2 Kings chapter 8, verse 2?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here's the passage from 2 Kings 8:2 in the Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"And she arose, and did according to the word of the man of God: and going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "In what book, at what chapter and verse, does \"Then Rabsaces stood, and cried out with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said: Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.\" appear?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, the book of 2 Kings, chapter 18, verse 28 states: \"Then Rabsaces stood, and cried out with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said: Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book should I look at for \"And the people answered: Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not much mind us: or if half of us should fall, they will not greatly care: for thou alone art accounted for ten thousand: it is better therefore that thou shouldst be in the city to succour us.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Your verse is located in *2 Samuel*, chapter *18*.\n\nTake a look at the whole chapter:\n*2 Samuel Chapter 18*\n1 And David having reviewed his people, appointed over them captains of thousands and of hundreds,\n2 And sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abisai the son of Sarvia Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ethai, who was of Geth: and the king said to the people: I also will go forth with you.\n**3 And the people answered: Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not much mind us: or if half of us should fall, they will not greatly care: for thou alone art accounted for ten thousand: it is better therefore that thou shouldst be in the city to succour us.**\n4 And the king said to them: What seemeth good to you, that will I do.

And Demetrius sat upon the throne of his kingdom:\n5 And there came to him the wicked and ungodly men of Israel: And Alcimus was at the head of them, who desired to be made high priest.\n6 And they accused the people to the king, saying: Judas and his brethren have destroyed all thy friends, and he hath driven us out of our land.\n7 Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and let him go, and see all the havock he hath made amongst us, and in the king's lands: and let him punish all his friends and their helpers.\n8 Then the king chose Bacchides, one of his friends that ruled beyond the great river in the kingdom, and was faithful to the king: and he sent him,\n9 To see the havock that Judas had made: and the wicked Alcimus he made high priest, and commanded him to take revenge upon the children of Israel.\n10 And they arose, and came with a great army into the land of Juda: and they sent messengers, and spoke to Judas and his brethren with peaceable words deceitfully.\n11 But they gave no heed to their words: for they saw that they were come with a great army.\n12 Then there assembled to Alcimus and Bacchides a company of the scribes to require things that are just:\n13 And first the Assideans that were among the children of Israel, and they sought peace of them.\n14 For they said: One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come, he will not deceive us.\n15 And he spoke to them peaceably: and he swore to them, saying: We will do you no harm nor your friends.\n16 And they believed him. And he took threescore of them, and slew them in one day, according to the word that is written:\n17 The flesh of thy saints, and the blood of them they have shed round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.\n18 Then fear and trembling fell upon all the people: for they said: There is no truth, nor justice among them: for they have broken the covenant, and the oath which they made.\n19 And Bacchides removed the camp from Jerusalem, and pitched in Bethzecha: and he sent, and took many of them that were fled away from him, and some of the people he killed, and threw them into a great pit.\n20 Then he committed the country to Alcimus, and left with him troops to help him. So Bacchides went away to the king:\n21 But Alcimus did what he could to maintain his chief priesthood.\n22 And they that disturbed the people resorted to him, and they got the land of Juda into their power, and did much hurt in Israel.\n**23 And Judas saw all the evils that Alcimus, and they that were with him, did to the children of Israel, much more than the Gentiles.**\n24 And he went out into all the coasts of Juda round about, and took vengeance upon the men that had revolted, and they ceased to go forth any more into the country.\n25 And Alcimus saw that Judas, and they that were with him prevailed: and he knew that he could not stand against them, and he went back to the king, and accused them of many crimes.\n26 And the king sent Nicanor one of his principal lords, who was a great enemy to Israel: and he commanded him to destroy the people.\n27 And Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great army, and he sent to Judas and to his brethren deceitfully with friendly words,\n28 Saying: Let there be no fighting between me and you: I will come with a few men to see your faces with peace.\n29 And he came to Judas, and they saluted one another peaceably: and the enemies were prepared to take away Judas by force.\n30 And the thing was known to Judas that he was come to him with deceit: and he was much afraid of him, and would not see his face any more.\n31 And Nicanor knew that his counsel was discovered: and he went out to fight against Judas near Capharsalama.\n32 And there fell of Nicanor's army almost five thousand men, and they fled into the city of David.\n33 And after this Nicanor went up into mount Sion: and some of the priests and the people came out to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the holocausts that were offered for the king.\n34 But he mocked them and despised them, and abused them: and he spoke proudly,\n35 And swore in anger, saying: Unless Judas and his army be delivered into my hands, as soon as ever I return in peace, I will burn this house. And he went out in a great rage.\n36 And the priests went in, and stood before the face of the altar and the temple: and weeping, they said:\n37 Thou, O Lord, hast chosen this house for thy name to be called upon therein, that it might be a house of prayer and supplication for thy people.\n38 Be avenged of this man, and his army, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and

this army in our sight to day, and let the rest know that he hath spoken ill against thy sanctuary: and judge thou him according to his wickedness.\n43 And the armies joined battle on the thirteenth day of the month Adar: and the army of Nicanor was defeated, and he himself was first slain in the battle.\n44 And when his army saw that Nicanor was slain, they threw away their weapons, and fled:\n45 And they pursued after them one day's journey from Adazer, even till ye come to Gazara, and they sounded the trumpets after them with signals.\n46 And they went forth out of all the towns of Judea round about, and they pushed them with the horns, and they turned again to them, and they were all slain with the sword, and there was not left of them so much as one.\n47 And they took the spoils of them for a booty, and they cut off Nicanor's head, and his right hand, which he had proudly stretched out, and they brought it, and hung it up over against Jerusalem.\n48 And the people

father had destroyed: and he set up altars to Baal, and made groves, as Achab the king of Israel had done: and he adored all the host of heaven, and served them.\n4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said: In Jerusalem I will put my name.\n5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the temple of the Lord.\n6 And he made his son pass through fire: and he used divination, and observed omens, and appointed pythons, and multiplied soothsayers to do evil before the Lord, and to provoke him.\n7 He set also an idol of the grove, which he had made, in the temple of the Lord: concerning which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever.\n8 And I will no more make the feet of Israel to be moved out of the land, which I gave to their fathers: only if they will observe to do all that I have commanded them according to the law which my servant Moses commanded them.\n9 But they hearkened not: but were seduced by Manasses, to do evil more than the nations which the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.\n10 And the Lord spoke in the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:\n**11 Because Manasses king of Juda hath done these most wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorrhites did before him, and hath made Juda also to sin with his filthy doings:**\n12 Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Behold I will bring on evils upon Jerusalem and Juda: that whosoever shall hear of them, both his ears shall tingle.\n13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the weight of the house of Achab: and I will efface Jerusalem, as tables are wont to be effaced, and I will erase and turn it, and draw the pencil often over the face thereof.\n14 And I will leave the remnants of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies: and they shall become a prey, and a spoil to all their enemies.\n15 Because they have done evil before me, and have continued to provoke me, from the day that their fathers came out of Egypt, even unto this day.\n16 Moreover Manasses shed also very much innocent blood, till he filled Jerusalem up to the mouth: besides his sins, wherewith he made Juda to sin, to do evil before the Lord.\n17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?\n18 And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Oza: and Amen his son reigned in his stead.\n19 Two and twenty years old was Amen when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Messalemeth the daughter of Harus of Jeteba.\n20 And he did evil in the sight, of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done.\n21 And he walked in all the way in which his father had walked: and he served the abominations which his father had served, and he adored them;\n22 And forsook the Lord the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.\n23 And his servants plotted against him, and slew the king in his own house.\n24 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amen: and made Josias his son their king in his stead.\n25 But the rest of the acts of Amen which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?\n26 And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of Oza: and his son Josias reigned in his stead.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book is the quote \"He said unto him: Go down, and charge the people: lest they should have a mind to pass the limits to see the Lord, and a

chapter *20*.\n\nHere's the entire chapter for you:\n*Ezekiel Chapter 20*\n1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month: there came men of the ancients of Israel to inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.\n2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:\n3 Son of man, speak to the ancients of Israel, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Are you come to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, saith the Lord God.\n4 If thou judgest them, if thou judgest, son of man, declare to them the abominations of their fathers.\n5 And say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand for the race of the house of Jacob: and appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and lifted up my hand for them, saying: I am the Lord your God:\n6 In that day I lifted up my hand for them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which excelleth amongst all lands.\n7 And I said to them: Let every man cast away the scandals of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.\n8 But they provoked me, and would not hearken to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: and I said I would pour out my indignation upon them, and accomplish my wrath against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.\n9 But I did otherwise for my name's sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I made myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.\n10 Therefore I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and brought them into the desert.\n11 And I gave them my statutes, and I shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them.\n12 Moreover I gave them also my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them: and that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.\n13 But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my judgments, which if a man do he shall live in them: and they grievously violated my sabbaths. I said therefore that I would pour out my indignation upon them in the desert, and would consume them.\n14 But I spared them for the sake of my name, lest it should be profaned before the nations, from which I brought them out, in their sight.\n15 So I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, not to bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and honey, the best of all lands.\n16 Because they cast off my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and violated my sabbaths: for their heart went after idols.\n17 Yet my eye spared them, so that I destroyed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert.\n18 And I said to their children in the wilderness: Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, and observe not their judgments, nor be ye defiled with their idols:\n19 I am the Lord your God: walk ye in my statutes, and observe my judgments, and do them.\n20 And sanctify my sabbaths, that they may be a sign between me and you: and that you may know that I am the Lord your God.\n21 But their children provoked me, they walked not in my commandments, nor observed my judgments to do them: which if a man do, he shall live in them: and they violated my sabbaths: and I threatened to pour out my indignation upon them, and to accomplish my wrath in them in the desert.\n22 But I turned away my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, out of which I brought them forth in their sight.\n23 Again I lifted up my hand upon them in the wilderness, to disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries:\n24 Because they had not done my judgments, and had cast off my statutes, and had violated my sabbaths, and their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers.\n25 Therefore I also gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments, in which they shall not live.\n26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, when they offered all that opened the womb, for their offences: and they shall know that I am the Lord.\n27 Wherefore speak to the house of Israel, O son of man, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this also your fathers blasphemed me, when they had despised and contemned me;\n28 And I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it them: they saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings, and there they set their sweet odours, and poured forth their libations.\n29 And I said to them: What meaneth the high place to which you go? and the name thereof was called High-place even to this day.\n30 Wherefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Verily, you are defiled in the way of your fathers, and you commit fornication with their abominations.\n31 And you defile yourselves with all your: idols unto this day, in the offering of your gifts, when you make your children pass through the fire: and shall I answer you, O house of Israel?

But if in this also you hear me not, but defile my holy name any more with your gifts, and with your idols;\n40 In my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel serve me; all of them I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there will I require your firstfruits, and the chief of your tithes with all your sanctifications.\n41 I will accept of you for an odour of sweetness, when I shall have brought you out from the people, and shall have gathered you out of the lands into which you are scattered, and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.\n42 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.\n43 And there you shall remember your ways, and all your wicked doings with which you have been defiled; and you shall be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, for all your wicked deeds which you committed.\n44 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have done well by you for my own name's sake, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your wicked deeds, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God.\n45 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:\n46 Son of man, set thy face against the way of the south, and drop towards the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field.\n47 And say to the south forest: Hear the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will kindle a fire in thee, and will burn in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the flame of the fire shall not be quenched: and every face shall be burned in it, from the south even to the north.\n48 And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord have kindled it, and it shall not be quenched.\n49 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God: they say of me: Doth not this man speak by parables?\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book is the verse \"And my people shall long for my return: but a yoke shall be put upon them together, which shall not be taken off.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you've got in mind is from *Hosea*, chapter *11*.\n\nHere's the full rundown of the chapter:\n*Hosea Chapter 11*\n1 As the morning passeth, so hath the king of Israel passed away.

temple with great glory, so that your glory shall be made manifest in all the earth.\n10 In the year one hundred and seventy-four Antiochus entered into the land of his fathers, and all the forces assembled to him, so that few were left with Tryphon.\n11 And king Antiochus pursued after him, and he fled along by the sea coast and came to Dora.\n12 For he perceived that evils were gathered together upon him, and his troops had forsaken him.\n13 And Antiochus camped above Dora with a hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thousand horsemen:\n14 And he invested the city, and the ships drew near by sea: and they annoyed the city by land, and by sea, and suffered none to come in, or to go out.\n15 And Numenius, and they that had been with him, came from the city of Rome, having letters written to the kings, and countries, the contents whereof were these:\n16 Lucius the consul of the Romans, to king Ptolemee, greeting.\n17 The ambassadors of the Jews our friends came to us, to renew the former friendship and alliance, being sent from Simon the high priest, and the people of the Jews.\n18 And they brought also a shield of gold of a thousand pounds.\n19 It hath seemed good therefore to us to write to the kings, and countries, that they should do them no harm, nor fight against them, their cities, or countries: and that they should give no aid to them that fight against them.\n20 And it hath seemed good to us to receive the shield of them.\n21 If therefore any pestilent men are fled out of their country to you, deliver them to Simon the high priest, that he may punish them according to their law.\n22 These same things were written to king Demetrius, and to Attalus, and to Ariarathes, and to Arsaces,\n23 And to all the countries; and to Lampsacus,

Gnidus, and Cyprus, and Cyrene.\n24 And they wrote a copy thereof to Simon the high priest, and to the people of the Jews.\n25 But king Antiochus moved his camp to Dora the second time, assaulting it continually, and making engines: and shut up Tryphon, that he could not go out.\n26 And Simon sent to him two thousand chosen men to aid him, silver also, and gold, and abundance of furniture.\n27 And he would not receive them, but broke all the covenant that he had made with him before, and alienated himself from him.\n28 And he sent to him Athenobius one of his friends, to treat with him, saying: You hold Joppe, and Gazara, and the castle that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my kingdom:\n**29 Their borders you have wasted, and you have made great havock in the land, and have got the dominion of many places in my kingdom.**\n30 Now therefore deliver up the cities that you have taken, and the tributes of the places whereof you have gotten the dominion without the borders of Judea.\n31 But if not, give me for them five hundred talents of silver, and for the havock that you have made, and the tributes of the cities other five hundred talents: or else we will come and fight against you.\n32 So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem, and saw the glory of Simon and his magnificence in gold, and silver, and his great equipage, and he was astonished, and told him the king's words.\n33 And Simon answered him, and said to him: We have neither taken other men's land, neither do we hold that which is other men's: but the inheritance of our fathers, which was for some time unjustly possessed by our enemies.\n34 But we having opportunity claim the inheritance of our fathers.\n35 And as to thy complaints concerning Joppe and Gazara, they did great harm to the people,

Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:\n10 To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.\n11 And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.\n12 But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.\n13 Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.\n14 Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.\n15 Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.\n16 For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.\n17 Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.\n18 And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,\n19 Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth?\n34 And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man?\n35 Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.\n36 And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?\n37 And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.\n38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him.\n39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more.

And the man of God besought the face of the Lord, and the king's hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.\n7 And the king said to the man of God: Come home with me to dine, and I will make thee presents.\n8 And the man of God answered the king: If thou wouldst give me half thy house I will not go with thee, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place:\n9 For so it was enjoined me by the word of the Lord commanding me: Thou shalt not eat bread nor drink water, nor return by the same way that thou camest.\n10 So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way that he came into Bethel.\n11 Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.\n12 And their father said to them: What way went he?

And the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. And he said: Behold I am here, Lord.\n11 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Stait, and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth.\n12 (And he saw a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.)\n13 But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem.\n14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name.\n15 And the Lord said to him: Go thy way; for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.\n16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.\n17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house.

And they watched the gates also day and night, that they might kill him.\n25 But the disciples taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down in a basket.\n26 And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples; and they all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.\n27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him; and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus.\n28 And he was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, and dealing confidently in the name of the Lord.\n29 He spoke also to the Gentiles, and disputed with the Greeks; but they sought to kill him.\n30 Which when the brethren had known, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.\n31 Now the church had peace throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria; and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord, and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost.\n32 And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.\n33 And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy.\n34 And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed.

would not suffer them to live in peace, and to be quiet.\n3 The men of Joppe also were guilty of this kind of wickedness: they desired the Jews who dwelt among them to go with their wives and children into the boats, which they had prepared, as though they had no enmity to them.\n4 Which when they had consented to, according to the common decree of the city, suspecting nothing, because of the peace: when they were gone forth into the deep, they drowned no fewer than two hundred of them.\n5 But as soon as Judas heard of this cruelty done to his countrymen, he commanded the men that were with him: and after having called upon God the just judge,\n6 He came against those murderers of his brethren, and set the haven on fire in the night, burnt the boats, and slew with the sword them that escaped from the fire.\n7 And when he had done these things in this manner, he departed as if he would return again, and root out all the Joppites.\n8 But when he understood that the men of Jamnia also designed to do in like manner to the Jews that dwelt among them,\n9 He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set the haven on fire with the ships, so that the light of the fire was seen at Jerusalem two hundred and forty furlongs off.\n10 And when they were now gone from thence nine furlongs, and were marching towards Timotheus, five thousand footmen and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians set upon them.\n11 And after a hard fight, in which by the help of God they got the victory, the rest of the Arabians being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising to give him pastures, and to assist him in other things.\n12 And Judas thinking that they might be profitable indeed in many things, promised them peace, and after having joined hands, they departed to their tents.\n13 He also laid siege to a certain strong city, encompassed with bridges and walls, and inhabited by multitudes of different nations, the name of which is Casphin.\n14 But they that were within it, trusting in the strength of the walls, and the provision of victuals, behaved in a more negligent manner, and provoked Judas with railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken.\n15 But Machabeus calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without any rams or engines of war threw down the walls of Jericho in the time of Josue, fiercely assaulted the walls.\n16 And having taken the city by the will of the Lord, he made an unspeakable slaughter, so that a pool adjoining of two furlongs broad seemed to run with the blood of the slain.\n17 From thence they departed seven hundred and fifty furlongs, and came to Characa to the Jews that are called Tubianites.\n18 But as for Timotheus, they found him not in those places, for before he had dispatched any thing he went back, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold:\n19 But Dositheus, and Sosipater, who were captains with Machabeus, slew them that were left by Timotheus in the hold, to the number of ten thousand men.\n20 And Machabeus having set in order about him six thousand men, and divided them by bands, went forth against Timotheus, who had with him a hundred and twenty thousand footmen, and two thousand five hundred horsemen.\n21 Now when Timotheus had knowledge of the coming of Judas, he sent the women and children, and the other baggage before him into a fortress, called Carnion: for it was impregnable and hard to come at, by reason of the straitness of the places.\n**22 But when the first band of Judas came in sight, the enemies were struck with fear, by the presence of God, who seeth all things, and they were put to flight one from another, so that they were often thrown down by their own companions, and wounded with the strokes of their own swords.**\n23 But Judas was vehemently earnest in punishing the profane, of whom he slew thirty thousand men.\n24 And Timotheus himself fell into the hands of the band of Dositheus and Sosipater, and with many prayers he besought them to let him go with his life, because he had the parents and brethren of many of the Jews, who, by his death, might happen to be deceived.\n25 And when he had given his faith that he would restore them according to the agreement, they let him go without hurt, for the saving of their brethren.\n26 Then Judas went away to Carnion, where he slew five and twenty thousand persons.\n27 And after he had put to flight and destroyed these, he removed his army to Ephron, a strong city, wherein there dwelt a multitude of divers nations: and stout young men standing upon the walls made a vigorous resistance: and in this place there were many engines of war, and a provision of darts.\n28 But when they had invocated the Almighty, who with his power breaketh the strength of the enemies, they took the city; and slew five and twenty thousand of them that were within.\n29 From thence they departed to Scythopolis, which lieth six hundred furlongs from Jerusalem.\n30 But the Jews that were among the Scythopolitans testifying that they were used kindly by them, and that even in the times of their adversity they had treated them with humanity:\n31 They gave them thanks exhorting them to be still friendly to their nation, and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks being at hand.\n32 And after Pentecost they marched against Gorgias the governor of Idumea.\n33 And he came out with three thousand footmen, and four hundred horsemen.\n34 And when they had joined battle, it happened that a few of the Jews were slain.\n35 But Dositheus, a horseman, one of Bacenor's band, a valiant man, took hold of Gorgias: and when he would have taken him alive, a certain horseman of the Thracians came upon him, and cut off his shoulder: and so Gorgias escaped to Maresa.\n36 But when they that were with Esdrin had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord to be their helper, and leader of the battle:\n37 Then beginning in his own language, and singing hymns with a loud voice, he put Gorgias' soldiers to flight.\n38 So Judas having gathered together his army, came into the city Odollam: and when the seventh day came, they purified themselves according to the custom, and kept the sabbath in the place.\n39 And the day following Judas came with his company, to take away the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen, in the sepulchres of their fathers.\n40 And they found under the coats of the slain some of the donaries of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbiddeth to the Jews: so that all plainly saw, that for this cause they were slain.\n41 Then they all blessed the just judgment of the Lord, who had discovered the things that were hidden.\n42 And so betaking themselves to prayers, they besought him, that the sin which had been committed might be forgotten.

And the king said to him: Why dost thou not adore Bel?\n4 And he answered, and said to him: Because I do not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, that created heaven and earth, and hath power over all flesh.\n5 And the king said to him: Doth not Bel seem to thee to be a living god?

And the king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel.\n10 And the priests of Bel said: Behold we go out: and do thou, O king, set on the meats, and make ready the wine, and shut the door fast, and seal it with thy own ring:\n11 And when thou comest in the morning, if thou findest not that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suffer death, or else Daniel that hath lied against us.\n12 And they little regarded it, because they had made under the table a secret entrance, and they always came in by it, and consumed those things.\n13 So it came to pass after they were gone out, the king set the meats before Bel: and Daniel commanded his servants, and they brought ashes, and he sifted them all over the temple before the king: and going forth they shut the door, and having sealed it with the king's ring, they departed.\n14 But the priests went in by night, according to their custom, with their wives and their children: and they ate and drank up all.\n15 And the king arose early in the morning, and Daniel with him.\n16 And the king said: Are the seals whole, Daniel? And he answered: They are whole, O king.\n17 And as soon as he had opened the door, the king looked upon the table, and cried out with a loud voice: Great art thou, O Bel, and there is not any deceit with thee.\n18 And Daniel laughed: and he held the king that he should not go in: and he said: Behold the pavement, mark whose footsteps these are.\n19 And the king said: I see the footsteps of men, and women, and children. And the king was angry.\n20 Then he took the priests, and their wives, and their children: and they shewed him the private doors by which they came in, and consumed the things that were on the table.\n21 The king therefore put them to death, and delivered Bel into the power of Daniel: who destroyed him, and his temple.\n22 And there was a great dragon in that place, and the Babylonians worshipped him.\n23 And the king said to Daniel: Behold thou canst not say now, that this is not a living god: adore him therefore.\n24 And Daniel said: I adore the Lord my God: for he is the living God: but that is no living god.\n25 But give me leave, O king, and I will kill this dragon without sword or club.

For so it is written by the prophet:\n6 And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the captain that shall rule my people Israel.\n7 Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;\n8 And sending them into Bethlehem, said: Go and diligently inquire after the child, and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come to adore him.\n9 Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.\n10 And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.\n11 And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.\n12 And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country.\n13 And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.\n14 Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:\n15 That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son.\n**16 Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry; and sending killed all the men children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.**\n17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying:\n18 A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.\n19 But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt,\n20 Saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel. For they are dead that sought the life of the child.\n21 Who arose, and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.\n22 But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither: and being warned in sleep retired into the quarters of Galilee.\n23 And coming he dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was said by prophets: That he shall be called a Nazarene.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What are the chapter and verse numbers for \"Behold I come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will burn thy chariots even to smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey out of the land, and the voice of thy messengers shall be heard no more.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The text \"Behold I come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will burn thy chariots even to smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey out of the land, and the voice of thy messengers shall be heard no more.\" is part of Nahum chapter 2, verse 13 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which chapter and book contains \"These therefore shalt thou take of the things that are sanctified, and are offered to the Lord.

And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.\n5 And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:\n6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.\n7 And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.\n8 To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.\n9 And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.\n10 And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.\n11 And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:\n12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.\n13 And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.\n14 But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.\n15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.\n**16 And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.**\n17 Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon's house, stood at the gate.\n18 And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.\n19 And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.\n20 Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.\n21 Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?\n22 Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.\n23 Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.\n24 And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea.

And all the multitude offered victims, and praises, and holocausts with a devout mind.\n32 And the number of the holocausts which the multitude offered, was seventy bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs.\n33 And they consecrated to the Lord six hundred oxen, and three thousand sheep.\n34 But the priests were few, and were not enough to flay the holocausts: wherefore the Levites their brethren helped them, till the work was ended, and priests were sanctified, for the Levites are sanctified with an easier rite than the priests.\n35 So there were many holocausts, and the fat of peace offerings, and the libations of holocausts: and the service of the house of the Lord was completed.\n36 And Ezechias, and all the people rejoiced because the ministry of the Lord was accomplished.

If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.\n5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.\n6 Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.\n7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.\n8 Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.\n9 When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.\n10 But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.\n11 The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he?\n12 And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.\n13 Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.\n14 Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.\n15 And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?\n16 Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.\n17 If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.\n18 He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.\n19 Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?\n20 Why seek you to kill me?

he had before, and he made him the chief of his friends.\n28 And Jonathan requested of the king that he would make Judea free from tribute, and the three governments, and Samaria, and the confines thereof: and he promised him three hundred talents.\n29 And the king consented: and he wrote letters to Jonathan of all these things to this effect.\n30 King Demetrius to his brother Jonathan, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.\n31 We send you here a copy of the letter, which we have written to Lasthenes our parent concerning you, that you might know it.\n32 King Demetrius to Lasthenes his parent, greeting.\n33 We have determined to do good to the nation of the Jews who are our friends, and keep the things that are just with us, for their good will which they bear towards us.\n34 We have ratified therefore unto them all the borders of Judea, and the three cities, Apherema, Lydda, and Ramatha, which are added to Judea, out of Samaria, and all their confines, to be set apart to all them that sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them every year, and for the fruits of the land, and of the trees.\n35 And as for other things that belonged to us of the tithes, and of the tributes, from this time we discharge them of them: the saltpans also, and the crowns that were presented to us.\n36 We give all to them, and nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth and for ever.\n37 Now therefore see that thou make a copy of these things, and let it be given to Jonathan, and set upon the holy mountain, in a conspicuous place.\n38 And king Demetrius seeing that the land was quiet before him, and nothing resisted him, sent away all his forces, every man to his own place, except the foreign army, which he had drawn together from the islands of the nations: so all the troops of his fathers hated him.\n39 Now there was one Tryphon who had been of Alexander's party before: who seeing that all the army murmured against Demetrius, went to Emalchuel the Arabian, who brought up Antiochus the son of Alexander.\n40 And he pressed him much to deliver him to him, that he might be king in his father's place: and he told him all that Demetrius had done, and how his soldiers hated him. And he remained there many days.\n41 And Jonathan sent to king Demetrius, desiring that he would cast out them that were in the castle in Jerusalem, and those that were in the strong holds: because they fought against Israel.\n42 And Demetrius sent to Jonathan, saying: I will not only do this for thee, and for thy people, but I will greatly honour thee, and thy nation, when opportunity shall serve.\n43 Now therefore thou shalt do well if thou send me men to help me: for all my army is gone from me.\n44 And Jonathan sent him three thousand valiant men to Antioch: and they came to the king, and the king was very glad of their coming.\n45 And they that were of the city assembled themselves together, to the number of a hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have killed the king.\n46 And the king fled into the palace, and they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight.\n47 And the king called the Jews to his assistance: and they came to him all at once, and they all dispersed themselves through the city.\n48 And they slew in that day a hundred thousand men, and they set fire to the city, and got many spoils that day, and delivered the king.\n**49 And they that were of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would: and they were discouraged in their minds, and cried to the king, making supplication, and saying:**\n50 Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting us, and the city.\n51 And they threw down their arms, and made peace, and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm, and were renowned throughout the kingdom, and returned to Jerusalem with many spoils.\n52 So king Demetrius sat in the throne of his kingdom: and the land was quiet before him.\n53 And he falsified all whatsoever he had said, and alienated himself from Jonathan, and did not reward him according to the benefits he had received from him, but gave him great trouble.\n54 And after this Tryphon returned, and with him Antiochus the young boy, who was made king, and put on the diadem.\n55 And there assembled unto him all the hands which Demetrius had sent away, and they fought against Demetrius, who turned his back and fled.\n56 And Tryphon took the elephants, and made himself master of Antioch.\n57 And young Antiochus wrote to Jonathan, saying: I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and I appoint thee ruler over the four cities, and to be one of the king's friends.\n58 And he sent him vessels of gold for his service, and he gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle:\n59 And he made his brother Simon governor from the borders of Tyre even to the confines of Egypt.\n60 Then Jonathan went forth and passed through the cities beyond the river: and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves to him to help him, and he came to Ascalon, and they met him honourably out of the city.\n61 And he went from thence to Gaza: and they that were in Gaza shut him out: and he besieged it, and burnt all the suburbs round about, and took the spoils.\n62 And the men of Gaza made supplication to Jonathan, and he gave them the right hand: and he took their sons for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem: and he went through the country as far as Damascus.\n63 And Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come treacherously to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great army, purposing to remove him from the affairs of the kingdom:\n64 And he went against them: but left his brother Simon in the country.\n65 And Simon encamped against Bethsura, and assaulted it many days, and shut them up.\n66 And they desired him to make peace, and he granted it them: and he cast them out from thence, and took the city, and placed a garrison in it.\n67 And Jonathan, and his army encamped by the water of Genesar, and before it was light they were ready in the plain of Asor.\n68 And behold the army of the strangers met him in the plain, and they laid an ambush for him in the mountains: but he went out against them.\n69 And they that lay in ambush arose out of their places, and joined battle.\n70 And all that were on Jonathan's side fled, and none was left of them, but Mathathias the son of Absalom, and Judas the son of Calphi, chief captain of the army.\n71 And Jonathan rent his garments, and cast earth upon his head, and prayed.\n72 And Jonathan turned again to them to battle, and he put them to flight, and they fought.\n73 And they of his part that fled saw this, and they turned again to him, and they all with him pursued the enemies even to Cades to their own camp, and they came even thither.\n74 And there fell of the aliens in that day three thousand men: and Jonathan returned to Jerusalem.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you read 1 Samuel chapter 4, verse 13?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**Old Testament**\n*1 Samuel 4:13 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way watching.

but the bearers thereof desired it might not be bestowed on the sacrifices, because it was not necessary, but might be deputed for other charges.\n20 So the money was appointed by him that sent it to the sacrifice of Hercules: but because of them that carried it was employed for the making of galleys.\n21 Now when Apollonius the son of Mnestheus was sent into Egypt to treat with the nobles of king Philometor, and Antiochus understood that he was wholly excluded from the affairs of the kingdom, consulting his own interest, he departed thence and came to Joppe, and from thence to Jerusalem:\n22 Where he was received in a, magnificent manner by Jason, and the city, and came in with torch lights, and with praises, and from thence he returned with his army into Phenicia.\n23 Three years afterwards Jason sent Menelaus, brother of the aforesaid Simon, to carry money to the king, and to bring answers from him concerning certain necessary affairs.\n24 But he being recommended to the king, when he had magnified the appearance of his power, got the high priesthood for himself, by offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver.\n25 So having received the king's mandate, he returned bringing nothing worthy of the high priesthood: but having the mind of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.\n26 Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being himself undermined, was driven out a fugitive into the country of the Ammonites.\n27 So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money he had promised to the king he took no care, when Sostratus the governor of the castle called for it.\n28 For to him appertained the gathering of the taxes: wherefore they were both called before the king.\n29 And Menelaus was removed from the priesthood, Lysimachus his brother succeeding: and Sostratus was made governor of the Cyprians.\n30 When these things were in doing, it fell out that they of Tharsus and Mallos raised a sedition, because they were given for a gift to Antiochis, the king's concubine.\n31 The king therefore went in all haste to appease them, leaving Andronicus, one of his nobles, for his deputy.\n32 Then Menelaus supposing that he had found a convenient time, having stolen certain vessels of gold out of the temple, gave them to Andronicus, and others he had sold at Tyre, and in the neighbouring cities.\n33 Which when Onias understood most certainly, he reproved him, keeping himself in a safe place at Antioch beside Daphne.\n34 Whereupon Menelaus coming to Andronicus, desired him to kill Onias. And he went to Onias, and gave him his right hand with an oath, and (though he were suspected by him) persuaded him to come forth out of the sanctuary, and immediately slew him, without any regard to justice.\n35 For which cause not only the Jews, but also the other nations, conceived indignation, and were much grieved for the unjust murder of so great a man.\n36 And when the king was come back from the places of Cilicia, the Jews that were at Antioch, and also the Greeks went to him: complaining of the unjust murder of Onias.\n37 Antiochus therefore was grieved in his mind for Onias, and being moved to pity, shed tears, remembering the sobriety and modesty of the deceased.\n38 And being inflamed to anger, he commanded Andronicus to be stripped of his purple, and to be led about through all the city: and that in the same place wherein he had committed the impiety against Onias, the sacrilegious wretch should be put to death, the Lord repaying him his deserved punishment.\n39 Now when many sacrileges had been committed by Lysimachus in the temple by the counsel of Menelaus, and the rumour of it was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves together against Lysimachus, a great quantity of gold being already carried away.\n**40 Wherefore the multitude making an insurrection, and their minds being filled with anger, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and began to use violence, one Tyrannus being captain, a man far gone both in age, and in madness.**\n41 But when they perceived the attempt of Lysimachus, some caught up stones, some strong clubs: and some threw ashes upon Lysimachus,\n42 And many of them were wounded, and some struck down to the ground, but all were put to flight: and as for the sacrilegious fellow himself, they slew him beside the treasury.\n43 Now concerning these matters, an accusation was laid against Menelaus.\n44 And when the king was come to Tyre, three men were sent from the ancients to plead the cause before him.\n45 But Menelaus being convicted, promised Ptolemee to give him much money to persuade the king to favour him.\n46 So Ptolemee went to the king in a certain court where he was, as it were to cool himself, and brought him to be of another mind:\n47 So Menelaus who was guilty of all the evil, was acquitted by him of the accusations: and those poor men, who, if they had pleaded their cause even before Scythians, should have been judged innocent, were condemned to death.\n48 Thus they that prosecuted the cause for the city, and for the people, and the sacred vessels, did soon suffer unjust punishment.\n49 Wherefore even the Tyrians being moved with indignation, were liberal towards their burial.\n50 And so through the covetousness of them that were in power, Menelaus continued in authority, increasing in malice to the betraying of the citizens.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Verse 10 from chapter 3 in 2 Thessalonians?", "role": "user" }, { "content":

And he answered: Behold thy servant.\n7 And David said to him: Fear not, for I will surely shew thee mercy for Jonathan thy father's sake, and I will restore the lands of Saul thy father, and thou shalt eat bread at my table always.\n8 He bowed down to him, and said: Who am I thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon such a dead dog as I am?\n9 Then the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him: All that belonged to Saul, and all his house, I have given to thy master's son.\n10 Thou therefore and thy sons and thy servants shall till the land for him: and thou shalt bring in food for thy master's son, that he may be maintained: and Miphiboseth the son of thy master shall always eat bread at my table. And Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.\n11 And Siba said to the king: As thou my lord the king hast commanded thy servant, so will thy servant do: and Miphiboseth shall eat at my table, as one of the sons of the king.\n12 And Miphiboseth had a young son whose name was Micha: and all the kindred of the house of Siba served Miphiboseth.\n13 But Miphiboseth dwelt in Jerusalem: because he ate always of the king's table: and he was lame of both feet.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What does it say in 2 Samuel chapter 19 verse 12?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Quoting from 2 Samuel 19:12, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"You are my brethren, you are my bone, and my flesh, why are you the last to bring back the king?\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What is written in Deuteronomy 25:4?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**The Old Testament**\n*Deuteronomy 25:4 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out thy corn on the floor.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall violate my secret place: and robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The passage \"And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall violate my secret place: and robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.\" comes from Ezekiel 7:22 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Job 12:17 please", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Quoting from Job 12:17, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"He bringeth counsellors to a foolish end, and judges to insensibility.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"He shall reprove you, because in secret you accept his person.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the book of Job, chapter 13, verse 10 of the Old Testament, you'll find \"He shall reprove you, because in secret you accept his person.\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"And Josue sent away the people, and the children of Israel went every one to his own possession to hold it:\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the book of Judges, chapter 2, verse 6 of the Old Testament, you'll find \"And Josue sent away the people, and the children of Israel went every one to his own possession to hold it:\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you provide the book, chapter, and verse for \"And say: If we had been in the days of our Fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"And say: If we had been in the days of our Fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.\" appears in Matthew, chapter 23, at verse 30 of the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Quote from Numbers chapter 26, verse 13", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Numbers 26:13 from the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) reads:\n\"Zare, of him is the family of the Zarites: Saul, of him is the family of the Saulites.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where does it say \"Out of which, for the portion of the Lord, were reckoned six hundred seventy-five sheep.\", in the bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The passage \"Out of which, for the portion of the Lord, were reckoned six hundred seventy-five sheep.\" comes from Numbers 31:37 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "In what book, at what chapter and verse, does \"Where there are no oxen, the crib is empty: but where there is much corn, there the strength of the ox is manifest.\" appear?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You can find \"Where there are no oxen, the crib is empty: but where there is much corn, there the strength of the ox is manifest.\" in the Old Testament, specifically in Proverbs 14:4.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book is the verse \"But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You're looking at a verse from *Romans*, chapter *6*.\n\nHere's what the chapter says:\n*Romans Chapter 6*\n1 What shall we say, then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?\n2 God forbid.

And David rose and went down into the wilderness of Pharan.\n2 Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.\n3 Now the name of the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman, but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb.\n4 And when David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,\n5 He sent ten young men, and said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace.\n6 And you shall say: Peace be to my brethren, and to thee, and peace to thy house, and peace to all that thou hast.\n7 I heard that thy shepherds that were with us in the desert were shearing: we never molested them, neither was there ought missing to them of the flock at any time, all the while they were with us in Carmel.\n8 Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Now therefore let thy servants find favour in thy eyes: for we are come in a good day, whatsoever thy hand shall find give to thy servants, and to thy son David.\n9 And when David's servants came, they spoke to Nabal all these words in David's name: and then held their peace.\n10 But Nabal answering the servants of David, said: Who is David? and what is the son of Isai? servants are multiplied now a days who flee from their masters.\n11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and the flesh of my cattle, which I have killed for my shearers, and give to men whom I know not whence they are?\n12 So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he said.\n13 Then David said to his young men: Let every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword. And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men: and two hundred remained with the baggage.\n14 But one of the servants told Abigail the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected them.\n15 These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: neither did we ever lose any thing all the time that we conversed with them in the desert.\n16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.\n17 Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can speak to him.\n18 Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of dry figs, and laid them upon asses:\n19 And she said to her servants: Go before me: behold I will follow after you: but she told not her husband Nabal.\n20 And when she had gotten upon an ass, and was coming down to the foot of the mountain, David and his men came down over against her, and she met them.\n21 And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this man in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.\n22 May God do so and so, and add more to the foes of David, if I leave of all that belong to him till the morning, any that pisseth against the wall.\n23 And when Abigail saw David she made haste and lighted off the ass, and fell before David, on her face, and adored upon the ground.\n24 And she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears: and hear the words of thy servant.\n25 Let not my lord the king, I pray, regard this naughty man Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest.\n26 Now therefore, my lord, the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now let thy enemies be as Nabal, and all they that seek evil to my lord.\n27 Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, my lord.\n28 Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life.\n29 For if a man at any time shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling.\n30 And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince over Israel,\n**31 This shall not be an occasion of grief to thee, and a scruple of heart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or hast revenged thyself: and when the Lord shall have done well by my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaid.**\n32 And David said to Abigail: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy speech:\n33 And blessed be thou, who hast kept me to day, from coming to blood, and revenging me with my own hand.\n34 Otherwise as the Lord liveth the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil: if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.\n35 And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and have honoured thy face.\n36 And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king, and Nabal's heart was merry: for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning.\n37 But early in the morning when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.\n38 And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.\n39 And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. Then David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife.\n40 And David's servants came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying: David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife.\n41 And she arose and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, and said: Behold, let thy servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.\n42 And Abigail arose, and made haste, and got upon an ass, and five damsels went with her, her waiting maids, and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.\n43 Moreover David took also Achinoam of Jezrahel: and they were both of them his wives.\n44 But Saul gave Michol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallium.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the scriptural address for \"So these nations feared the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You can find \"So these nations feared the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.\" in the Old Testament, specifically in 2 Kings 17:41.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"For acting wickedly against the laws of God doth not pass unpunished: but this the time following will declare.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The text \"For acting wickedly against the laws of God doth not pass unpunished: but this the time following will declare.\" is part of 2 Maccabees chapter 4, verse 17 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book, chapter, and verse for \"And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You can find \"And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer.\" in the Old Testament, specifically in 2 Samuel 5:25.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "- **Book:** 2 Samuel\n- **Chapter:** 11\n- **Verse:** 4", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture from the Old Testament at 2 Samuel 11:4 (Douay Rheims) is:\n\"And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where does it say \"And sailing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;\", in the bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"And sailing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;\" appears in Acts, chapter 16, at verse 11 of the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "From which book and what chapter does \"The most high God hath wrought signs and wonders toward me.

And they stood before the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.\n4 Then a herald cried with a strong voice: To you it is commanded, O nations, tribes, and languages:\n5 That in the hour that you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and of the flute, and of the harp, of the sackbut, and of the psaltery, and of the symphony, and of all kind of music; ye fall down and adore the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor hath set up.\n6 But if any man shall not fall down and adore, he shall the same hour be cast into a furnace of burning fire.\n7 Upon this therefore, at the time when all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music: all the nations, tribes, and languages fell down and adored the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.\n8 And presently at that very time some Chaldeans came and accused the Jews,\n9 And said to king Nabuchodonosor: O king, live for ever:\n10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree that every man that shall hear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music, shall prostrate himself, and adore the golden statue:\n11 And that if any man shall not fall down and adore, he should be cast into a furnace of burning fire.\n12 Now there are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the works of the province of Babylon, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago: these men, O king, have slighted thy decree: they worship not thy gods, nor do they adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.\n13 Then Nabuchodonosor in fury, and in wrath, commanded that Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago should be brought: who immediately were brought before the king.\n14 And Nabuchodonosor the king spoke to them, and said: Is it true, O Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the golden statue that I have set up?\n15 Now therefore if you be ready at what hour soever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, harp, sackbut, and psaltery, and symphony, and of all kind of music, prostrate yourselves, and adore the statue which I have made: but if you do not adore, you shall be cast the same hour into the furnace of burning fire: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?\n16 Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago answered and said to king Nabuchodonosor: We have no occasion to answer thee concerning this matter.\n17 For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to save us from the furnace of burning fire, and to deliver us out of thy hands, O king.\n18 But if he will not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not worship thy gods, nor adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.\n19 Then was Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed to be heated.\n20 And he commanded the strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire.\n21 And immediately these men were bound and were cast into the furnace of burning fire, with their coats, and their caps, and their shoes, and their garments.\n22 For the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace was heated exceedingly. And the flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago.\n23 But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the midst of the furnace of burning fire.\n24 And they walked in the midst of the flame, praising God and blessing the Lord.\n25 Then Azarias standing up prayed in this manner, and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, he said:\n26 Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and thy name is worthy of praise, and glorious for ever:\n27 For thou art just in all that thou hast done to us, and all thy works are true, and thy ways right, and all thy judgments true.\n28 For thou hast executed true judgments in all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon Jerusalem the holy city of our fathers: for according to truth and judgment, thou hast brought all these things upon us for our sins.\n29 For we have sinned, and committed iniquity, departing from thee: and we have trespassed in all things:\n30 And we have not hearkened to thy commandments, nor have we observed nor done as thou hadst commanded us, that it might go well with us.\n31 Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment:\n32 And thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies that are unjust, and most wicked, and prevaricators, and to a king unjust, and most wicked beyond all that are upon the earth.\n33 And now we cannot open our mouths: we are become a shame and reproach to thy servants, and to them that worship thee.\n34 Deliver us not up for ever, we beseech thee, for thy name's sake, and abolish not thy covenant.\n35 And take not away thy mercy from us for the sake of Abraham thy beloved, and Isaac thy servant, and Israel thy holy one:\n36 To whom thou hast spoken, promising that thou wouldst multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea shore.\n37 For we, O Lord, are diminished more than any nation, and are brought low in all the earth this day for our sins.\n38 Neither is there at this time prince, or leader, or prophet, or holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of firstfruits before thee,\n39 That we may find thy mercy: nevertheless in a contrite heart and humble spirit let us be accepted.\n40 As in holocausts of rams, and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may please thee: for there is no confusion to them that trust in thee.\n41 And now we follow thee with all our heart, and we fear thee, and seek thy face.\n42 Put us not to confusion, but deal. with us according to thy meekness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.\n43 And deliver us according to thy wonderful works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord:\n44 And let all them be confounded that shew evils to thy servants, let them be confounded in all thy might, and let their strength be broken.\n45 And let them know that thou art the Lord, the only God, and glorious over all the world.\n46 Now the king's servants that had cast them in, ceased not to heat the furnace with brimstone, and tow, and pitch, and dry sticks,\n47 And the flame mounted up above the furnace nine and forty cubits:\n48 And it broke forth, and burnt such of the Chaldeans as it found near the furnace.\n49 But the angel of the Lord went down with Azarias and his companions into the furnace: and he drove the flame of the fire out of the furnace,\n50 And made the midst of the furnace like the blowing of a wind bringing dew, and the fire touched them not at all, nor troubled them, nor did them any harm.\n51 Then these three as with one mouth praised, and glorified, and blessed God in the furnace, saying:\n52 Blessed art thou, O Lord the God of our fathers: and worthy to be praised, and glorified, and exalted above all for ever: and blessed is the holy name of thy glory: and worthy to be praised, and exalted above all in all ages.\n53 Blessed art thou in the holy temple of thy glory: and exceedingly to be praised, and exceeding glorious for ever.\n54 Blessed art thou on the throne of thy kingdom, and exceedingly to be praised, and exalted above all for ever.\n55 Blessed art thou, that beholdest the depths, and sittest upon the cherubims: and worthy to be praised and exalted above all for ever.\n56 Blessed art thou in the firmament of heaven: and worthy of praise, and glorious for ever.\n57 All ye works of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.\n58 O ye angels of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.\n59 O ye heavens, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.\n60 O all ye waters that are above the heavens, bless the Lord;

And when he understood that Philip, who had been left over the affairs, had rebelled at Antioch, he was in a consternation of mind, and entreating the Jews, and yielding to them, he swore to all things that seemed reasonable, and, being reconciled, offered sacrifices, honoured the temple, and left gifts.\n24 He embraced Machabeus, and made him governor and prince from Ptolemais unto the Gerrenians.\n25 But when he was come to Ptolemais, the men of that city were much displeased with the conditions of the peace, being angry for fear they should break the covenant.\n26 Then Lysias went up to the judgment seat, and set forth the reason, and appeased the people, and returned to Antioch: and thus matters went with regard to the king's coming and his return.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and chapter does \"And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul's camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David, he fell upon his face, and adored.\" belong to?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're referencing is from the book *2 Samuel*, chapter *1*.\n\nHere's the full chapter:\n*2 Samuel Chapter 1*\n1 Now it came to pass, after Saul was dead, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalecites, and abode two days in Siceleg.\n**2 And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul's camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David, he fell upon his face, and adored.**\n3 And David said to him: From whence comest thou?

Seor.\n9 That he may give me the double cave, which he hath in the end of his field: for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me before you, for a possession of a buryingplace.\n10 Now Ephron dwelt in the midst of the children of Heth. And Ephron made answer to Abraham in the hearing of all that went in at the gate of the city, saying:\n11 Let it not be so, my lord, but do thou rather hearken to what I say: The field I deliver to thee, and the cave that is therein, in the presence of the children of my people, bury thy dead.\n12 Abraham bowed down before the people of the land,\n13 And he spoke to Ephron, in the presence of the people: I beseech thee to hear me: I will give money for the field: take it, and so I will bury my dead in it.\n14 And Ephron answered:\n15 My lord, hear me. The ground which thou desirest, is worth four hundred sicles of silver: this is the price between me and thee: but what is this? bury thy dead.\n16 And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had asked, in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred sicles of silver of common current money.\n17 And the field that before was Ephron's, wherein was the double cave, looking towards Mambre, both it and the cave, and all the trees thereof in all its limits round about,\n**18 Was made sure to Abraham for a possession, in the sight of the children of Heth, and of all that went in at the gate of his city.**\n19 And so Abraham buried Sara his wife, in a double cave of the field, that looked towards Mambre, this is Hebron in the land of Chanaan.\n20 And the field was made sure to Abraham, and the cave that was in it, for a possession to bury in, by the children of Heth.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Verse 1 from chapter 30 in Genesis?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the Old Testament, in Genesis 30:1 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"And Rachel, seeing herself without children, envied her sister, and said to her husband: Give me children, otherwise I shall die.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book and chapter for \"And their houses shall be turned over to others, with their lands and their wives together: for I will stretch for my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That one's from *Jeremiah*, chapter *6*.\n\nHere's the chapter it's part of:\n*Jeremiah Chapter 6*\n1 Strengthen yourselves, ye sons of Benjamin, in the midst of Jerusalem, and sound the trumpet in Thecua, and set up the standard over Bethacarem: for evil is seen out of the north, and a great destruction.\n2 I have likened the daughter of Sion to a beautiful and delicate woman.\n3 The shepherds shall come to her with their flocks: they have pitched their tents against her round about: every one shall feed them that are under his hand.\n4 Prepare ye war against her: arise, and let us go up at midday: woe unto us, for the day is declined, for the shadows of the evening are grown longer.\n5 Arise, and let us go up in the night, and destroy her houses.\n6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hew down her trees, cast up a trench about Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited, all oppression is in the midst of her.\n7 As a cistern maketh its water cold, so hath she made her wickedness cold: violence and spoil shall be heard in her, infirmity and stripes are continually before me.\n8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land uninhabited.\n9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: They shall gather the remains of Israel, as in a vine, even to one cluster: turn back thy hand, as a grape gatherer into the basket.\n10 To whom shall I speak? and to whom shall I testify, that he may hear? behold, their ears are uncircumcised, and they cannot hear: behold the word of the Lord is become unto them a reproach: and and they will not receive it.\n11 Therefore am I full of the fury of the Lord, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the child abroad, and upon the council of the young men together: for man and woman shall be taken, the ancient and he that is full of days.\n**12 And their houses shall be turned over to others, with their lands and their wives together: for I will stretch for my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.**\n13 For from the least of them even to the greatest, all are given to covetousness: and from the prophet even to the priest, all are guilty of deceit.\n14 And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying: Peace, peace: and there was no peace.\n15 They were confounded, because they committed abomination: yea, rather they were not confounded with confusion, and they knew not how to blush: wherefore they shall fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall fall down, saith the Lord.\n16 Thus saith the Lord: Stand ye on the ways, and see and ask for the old paths which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall find refreshment for your souls.

She that was free is made a slave.\n12 And behold our sanctuary, and our beauty, and our glory is laid waste, and the Gentiles have defiled them.\n13 To what end then should we live any longer?\n14 And Mathathias and his sons rent their garments, and they covered themselves with haircloth, and made great lamentation.\n15 And they that were sent from king Antiochus came thither, to compel them that were fled into the city of Modin, to sacrifice, and to burn incense, and to depart from the law of God.\n16 And many of the people of Israel consented, and came to them: but Mathathias and his sons stood firm.\n17 And they that were sent from Antiochus, answering, said to Mathathias: Thou art a ruler, and an honourable, and great man in this city, and adorned with sons, and brethren.\n18 Therefore come thou first, and obey the king's commandment, as all nations have done, and the men of Juda, and they that remain in Jerusalem: and thou, and thy sons, shall be in the number of the king's friends, and enriched with gold, and silver, and many presents.\n19 Then Mathathias answered, and said with a loud voice: Although all nations obey king Antiochus, so as to depart every man from the service of the law of his fathers, and consent to his commandments:\n20 I and my sons, and my brethren will obey the law of our fathers.\n21 God be merciful unto us: it is not profitable for us to forsake the law, and the justices of God:\n22 We will not hearken to the words of king Antiochus, neither will we sacrifice, and transgress the commandments of our law, to go another way.\n23 Now as he left off speaking these words, there came a certain Jew in the sight of all to sacrifice to the idols upon the altar in the city of Modin, according to the king's commandment.\n24 And Mathathias saw and was grieved, and his reins trembled, and his wrath was kindled according to the judgment of the law, and running upon him he slew him upon the altar:\n25 Moreover the man whom king Antiochus had sent, who compelled them to sacrifice, he slew at the same time, and pulled down the altar.\n26 And shewed zeal for the law, as Phinees did by Zamri the son of Salomi.\n27 And Mathathias cried out in the city with a loud voice, saying: Every one that hath zeal for the law, and maintaineth the testament, let him follow me.\n28 So he, and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that they had in the city.\n29 Then many that sought after judgment, and justice, went down into the desert:\n30 And they abode there, they and their children, and their wives, and their cattle: because afflictions increased upon them.\n31 And it was told to the king's men, and to the army that was in Jerusalem in the city of David, that certain men who had broken the king's commandment, were gone away into the secret places in the wilderness, and that many were gone after them.\n32 And forthwith they went out towards them, and made war against them on the sabbath day,\n33 And they said to them: Do you still resist? come forth, and do according to the edict of king Antiochus, and you shall live.\n34 And they said: We will not come forth, neither will we obey the king's edict, to profane the sabbath day.\n**35 And they made haste to give them battle.**\n36 But they answered them not, neither did they cast a stone at them, nor stopped up the secret places,\n37 Saying: Let us all die in our innocency: and heaven and earth shall be witnesses for us, that you put us to death wrongfully.\n38 So they gave them battle on the sabbath: and they were slain with their wives, and their children, and their cattle, to the number of a thousand persons.\n39 And Mathathias and his friends heard of it, and they mourned for them exceedingly.\n40 And every man said to his neighbour: If we shall all do as our brethren have done, and not fight against the heathens for our lives, and our justifications: they will now quickly root us out of the earth.\n41 And they determined in that day, saying: Whosoever shall come up against us to fight on the sabbath day, we will fight against him: and we will not all die, as our brethren that were slain in the secret places.\n42 Then was assembled to them the congregation of the Assideans, the stoutest of Israel, every one that had a good will for the law.\n43 And all they that fled from the evils, joined themselves to them, and were a support to them.\n44 And they gathered an army, and slew the sinners in their wrath, and the wicked men in their indignation: and the rest fled to the nations for safety.\n45 And Mathathias and his friends went round about, and they threw down the altars:\n46 And they circumcised all the children whom they found in the confines of Israel that were uncircumcised: and they did valiantly.\n47 And they pursued after the children of pride, and the work prospered in their hands:\n48 And they recovered the law out of the hands of the nations, and out of the hands of the kings: and they yielded not the horn to the sinner.\n49 Now the days drew near that Mathathias should die, and he said to his sons: Now hath pride and chastisement gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation:\n50 Now therefore, O my sons, be ye zealous for the law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers.\n51 And call to remembrance the works of the fathers, which they have done in their generations: and you shall receive great glory, and an everlasting name.\n52 Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was reputed to him unto justice?\n53 Joseph in the time of his distress kept the commandment, and he was made lord of Egypt.\n54 Phinees our father, by being fervent in the zeal of God, received the covenant of an everlasting priesthood.\n55 Jesus, whilst he fulfilled the word, was made ruler in Israel.\n56 Caleb, for bearing witness before the congregation, received an inheritance.\n57 David by his mercy obtained the throne of an everlasting kingdom.\n58 Elias, while he was full of zeal for the law, was taken up into heaven.\n59 Ananias and Azarias and Misael by believing, were delivered out of the flame.\n60 Daniel in his innocency was delivered out of the mouth of the lions.\n61 And thus consider through all generations: that none that trust in him fail in strength.\n62 And fear not the words of a sinful man, for his glory is dung, and worms:\n63 To day he is lifted up, and to morrow he shall not be found, because he is returned into his earth; and his thought is come to nothing.\n64 You therefore, my sons, take courage, and behave manfully in the law: for by it you shall be glorious.\n65 And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel: give ear to him always, and he shall be a father to you.\n66 And Judas Machabeus who is valiant and strong from his youth up, let him be the leader of your army, and he shall manage the war of the people.\n67 And you shall take to you all that observe the law: and revenge ye the wrong of your people.\n68 Render to the Gentiles their reward, and take heed to the precepts of the law.\n69 And he blessed them, and was joined to his fathers.\n70 And he died in the hundred and forty-sixth year: and he was buried by his sons in the sepulchres of his fathers in Modin, and all Israel mourned for him with great mourning.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What

Jesbaham sitting in the chair was the wisest chief among the three, he was like the most tender little worm of the wood, who killed eight hundred men at one onset.\n9 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three valiant men that were with David when they defied the Philistines, and they were there gathered together to battle.\n10 And when the men of Israel were gone away, he stood and smote the Philistines till his hand was weary, and grew stiff with the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day: and the people that were fled away, returned to take spoils of them that were slain.\n**11 And after him was Semma the son of Age of Arari.

So she sat at the side of the reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and took the leavings.\n15 And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before. And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with you, hinder her not:\n16 And let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them, that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when she gathereth them.\n17 She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels:\n18 Which she took up and returned into the city, and shewed it to her mother in law: moreover she brought out, and gave her of the remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled.\n19 And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned to day, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee.

For he that cometh to God, must believe that he is, and is a rewarder to them that seek him.\n7 By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world; and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith.\n8 By faith he that is called Abraham, obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.\n9 By faith he abode in the land, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.\n10 For he looked for a city that hath foundations; whose builder and maker is God.\n11 By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age; because she believed that he was faithful who had promised,\n12 For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.\n13 All these died according to faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them afar off, and saluting them, and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth.\n14 For they that say these things, do signify that they seek a country.\n15 And truly if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless time to return.\n16 But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.\n17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten son;\n18 (To whom it was said: In Isaac shall thy seed be called.)\n19 Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable.\n20 By faith also of things to come, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.\n21 By faith Jacob dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and adored the top of his rod.\n22 By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the going out of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.\n23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents; because they saw he was a comely babe, and they feared not the king's edict.\n24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao's daughter;\n25 Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin for a time,\n26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward.\n27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured as seeing him that is invisible.\n28 By faith he celebrated the pasch, and the shedding of the blood; that he, who destroyed the firstborn, might not touch them.\n29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting, were swallowed up.\n30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, by the going round them seven days.\n31 By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, receiving the spies with peace.\n32 And what shall I yet say?

And he saith to them: Behold the Man.\n6 When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants, had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him.\n7 The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.\n8 When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared the more.\n9 And he entered into the hall again, and he said to Jesus: Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.\n10 Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee?\n11 Jesus answered: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered me to thee, hath the greater sin.\n12 And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Caesar.\n13 Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha.\n14 And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews: Behold your king.\n15 But they cried out: Away with him; away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.\n16 Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him forth.\n17 And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha.\n18 Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.\n19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.\n20 This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.\n21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am the King of the Jews.\n22 Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written.\n23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part,) and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.\n24 They said then one to another: Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lots. And the soldiers indeed did these things.\n25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.\n26 When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.\n**27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.**\n28 Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst.\n29 Now there was a vessel set there full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar and hyssop, put it to his mouth.\n30 Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.\n31 Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve,) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.\n32 The soldiers therefore came; and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.\n33 But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.\n34 But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.\n35 And he that saw it, hath given testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; that you also may believe.\n36 For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him.\n37 And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced.\n38 And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus.

He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.\n39 And Nicodemus also came, (he who at the first came to Jesus by night,) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.\n40 They took therefore the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.\n41 Now there was in the place where he was crucified, a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid.\n42 There, therefore, because of the parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus, because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"And when I shall come thither, we will lodge there, or at least in the city of Rama.\" written?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"And when I shall come thither, we will lodge there, or at least in the city of Rama.\" is written in Judges 19:13, within the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What does Judith chapter 12 verse 12 say?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Judith 12:12 from the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) reads:\n\"Then Vagao went in to Judith, and said: Let not my good maid be afraid to go in to my lord, that she may be honoured before his face, that she may eat with him and drink wine and be merry.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and chapter does \"And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.\" belong to?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're referencing is from the book *Luke*, chapter *15*.\n\nHere's the full chapter:\n*Luke Chapter 15*\n1 Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.\n**2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.**\n3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying:\n4 What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it?\n5 And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing:\n6 And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?\n7 I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.\n8 Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?\n9 And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.\n10 So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.\n11 And he said: A certain man had two sons:\n12 And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of substance that falleth to me.

My grandfather Jesus, after he had much given himself to a diligent reading of the law, and the prophets, and other books, that were delivered to us from our fathers, had a mind also to write something himself, pertaining to doctrine and wisdom: that such as are desirous to learn, and are made knowing in these things, may be more and more attentive in mind, and be strengthened to live according to the law. I entreat you therefore to come with benevolence, and to read with attention, and to pardon us for those things wherein we may seem, while we follow the image of wisdom, to come short in the composition of words; for the Hebrew words have not the same force in them when translated into another tongue. And not only these, but the law also itself, and the prophets, and the rest of the books, have no small difference, when they are spoken in their own language.

God: Because the enemy hath said of you: Aha, the everlasting heights are given to us for an inheritance.\n3 Therefore prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Because you have been desolate, and trodden under foot on every side, and made an inheritance to the rest of the nations, and are become the subject of the talk, and the reproach of the people:\n4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the brooks, and to the valleys, and to desolate places, and ruinous walls, and to the cities that are forsaken, that are spoiled, and derided by the rest of the nations round about.\n5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal I have spoken of the rest of the nations, and of all Edom, who have taken my land to themselves, for an inheritance with joy, and with all the heart, and with the mind: and have cast it out to lay it waste.\n6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I have spoken in my zeal, and in my indignation, because you have borne the shame of the Gentiles.\n7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, that the Gentiles who are round about you, shall themselves bear their shame.\n8 But as for you, O mountains of Israel, shoot ye forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel: for they are at hand to come.\n9 For lo I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be ploughed and sown.\n10 And I will multiply men upon you, and all the house of Israel: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be repaired.\n11 And I will make you abound with men and with beasts: and they shall be multiplied, and increased: and I will settle you as from the beginning, and will give you greater gifts, than you had from the beginning: and you shall know that I am the Lord.\n12 And I will bring men upon you, my people Israel, and they shall possess thee for their inheritance: and thou shalt be their inheritance, and shalt no more henceforth be without them.\n13 Thus saith the Lord God: Because they say of you: Thou art a devourer of men, and one that suffocatest thy nation:\n14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, nor destroy thy nation any more, saith the Lord God:\n15 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the nations any more, nor shalt thou bear the reproach of the people, nor lose thy nation any more, saith the Lord God.\n16 And the word of the Lord came

woman.\n18 And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it.\n19 And I scattered them among the nations, and they are dispersed through the countries: I have judged them according to their ways, and their devices.\n20 And when they entered among the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them: This is the people of the Lord, and they are come forth out of his land.\n21 And I have regarded my own holy name, which the house of Israel hath profaned among the nations to which they

Lord have spoken and done it.\n37 Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men,\n38 As a holy flock,

Now he was at that time king in Moab.\n5 He sent therefore messengers to Balaam the son of Beer, a soothsayer, who dwelt by the river of the land of the children of Ammon, to call him, and to say: Behold a people is come out of Egypt, that hath covered the face of the earth, sitting over against me.\n6 Come therefore, and curse this people, because it is mightier than I: if by any means I may beat them and drive them out of my land: for I know that he whom thou shalt bless is blessed, and he whom thou shalt curse is cursed.\n7 And the ancients of Moab, and the elders of Madian, went with the price of divination in their hands.

I am come to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse, and contrary to me:\n33 And unless the ass had turned out of the way, giving place to me who stood against thee, I had slain thee, and she should have lived.\n34 Balaam said: I have sinned, not knowing that thou didst stand against me: and now if it displease thee that I go, I will return.\n**35 The angel said: Go with these men, and see thou speak no other thing than what I shall command thee.

For who shall be able to judge this people, thy people which is so numerous?\n10 And the word was pleasing to the Lord that Solomon had asked such a thing.\n11 And the Lord said to Solomon: Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life or riches, nor the lives of thy enemies, but hast asked for thyself wisdom to discern judgment,\n12 Behold I have done for thee according to thy words, and have given thee a wise and understanding heart, insomuch that there hath been no one like thee before thee, nor shall arise after thee.\n13 Yea and the things also which thou didst not ask, I have given thee: to wit riches and glory, as that no one hath been like thee among the kings in all days heretofore.\n14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, and keep my precepts, and my commandments, as thy father walked, I will lengthen thy days.\n15 And Solomon awaked, and perceived that it was a dream: and when he was come to Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims of peace offerings, and made a great feast for all his servants.\n16 Then there came two women that were harlots, to the king, and stood before him:\n17 And one of them said: I beseech thee, my lord, I and this woman dwelt in one house, and I was delivered of a child with her in the chamber.\n18 And the third day, after that I was delivered, she also was delivered, and we were together, and no other person with us in the house, only we two.\n19 And this woman's child died in the night: for in her sleep she overlaid him.\n**20 And rising in the dead time of the night, she took my child from my side, while I thy handmaid was asleep, and laid it in her bosom: and laid her dead child in my bosom.**\n21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold it was dead: but considering him more diligently when it was clear day, I found that it was not mine which I bore.\n22 And the other woman answered: It is not so as thou sayest, but thy child is dead, and mine is alive.

And Jephte spoke all his words before the Lord in Maspha.\n12 And he sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, to say in his name, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me, to waste my land?\n13 And he answered them: I Because Israel took away my land when he came up out of Egypt, from the confines of the Arnon unto the Jaboc and the Jordan: now therefore restore the same peaceably to me.\n14 And Jephte again sent word by them, and commanded them to say to the king of Ammon:\n15 Thus saith Jephte: Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:\n16 But when they came up out of Egypt, he walked through the desert to the Red Sea and came into Cades.\n17 And he sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying: Suffer me to pass through thy land.

But as we know not what to do, we can only turn our eyes to thee.\n13 And all Juda stood before the Lord with their little ones, and their wives, and their children.\n14 And Jahaziel the son of Zacharias, the son of Banaias, the son of Jehiel, the son of Mathanias, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, was there, upon whom the spirit of the Lord came in the midst of the multitude,\n15 And he said: Attend ye, all Juda, and you that dwell in Jerusalem, and thou king Josaphat: Thus saith the Lord to you: Fear ye not, and be not dismayed at this multitude: for the battle is not yours, but

you shall go out against them, and the Lord will be with you.\n18 Then Josaphat, and Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell hat on the ground before the Lord, and adored him.\n19 And the Levites of the sons of Caath, and of the sons of Core praised the Lord the God of Israel with a loud voice, on high.\n20 And they rose early in the morning, and went out through the desert of Thecua: and as they were marching, Josaphat standing in the midst of them, said: Hear me, ye men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be secure: believe his prophets, and all things shall succeed well.\n21 And he gave counsel to the people, and appointed the singing men of the Lord, to praise him by their companies, and to go before the army, and with one voice to say: Give glory to the Lord, for his mercy endureth for ever.\n22 And when they began to sing praises, the Lord turned their ambushments upon themselves, that is to say, of the children of Ammon, and of Moab, and of mount Seir, who were come out to fight against Juda, and they were slain.\n23 For the children of Ammon, and of Moab, rose up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of them, they turned also against one another, and destroyed one another.\n**24 And when Juda came to the watch tower, that looketh toward the

the spoils of the dead, and they found among the dead bodies, stuff of various kinds, and garments, and most precious vessels: and they took them for themselves, insomuch that they could not carry all, nor in three days take away the spoils, the booty was so great.\n26 And on the fourth day they were assembled in the valley of Blessing: for there they blessed the Lord, and therefore they called that place the valley of Blessing until this day.\n27 And every man of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem returned, and Josaphat at their head, into Jerusalem with great joy, because the Lord had

his father Asa, and departed not from it, doing the things that were pleasing before the Lord.\n33 But yet he took not away the high places, and the people had not yet turned their heart to the Lord

After these things Josaphat king of Juda made friendship with Ochozias king of Israel, whose works were very wicked.\n36 And he was partner with him in making ships, to go to Tharsis: and they made

Chapter 13*\n1 Now there were in the church which was at Antioch, prophets and doctors, among whom was Barnabas, and Simon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.\n2 And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken them.\n3 Then they, fasting and praying, and imposing their hands upon them, sent them away.\n4 So they being sent by the Holy Ghost, went to Seleucia: and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.\n5 And when they were come to Salamina, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also in the ministry.\n6 And when they had gone through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesu:\n7 Who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He sending for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.\n8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is interpreted) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.\n9 Then Saul, otherwise Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, looking upon him,\n10 Said: O full of all guile, and of all deceit, child of the devil, enemy of all justice, thou ceasest not to pervert the right ways of the Lord.\n11 And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell a mist and darkness upon him, and going about, he sought some one to lead him by the hand.\n12 Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, admiring at the doctrine of the Lord.\n13 Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.\n14 But they passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down.\n15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak.\n16 Then Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.\n17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out from thence,\n18 And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert.\n19 And destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, divided their land among them, by lot,\n20 As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet.\n21 And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.\n22 And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.\n23 Of this man's seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:\n24 John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.\n25 And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.\n26 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent.\n27 For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.\n28 And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.\n29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.\n30 But God raised him up from the dead the third day:\n31 Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.\n32 And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,\n33 This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.\n34 And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David faithful.\n35 And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption.\n36 For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.\n37 But he whom God hath raised from the dead, saw no corruption.\n38 Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.\n39 In him every one that believeth, is justified.\n40 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:\n41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you.\n**42 And as they went out, they desired them, that on the next sabbath, they would speak unto them these words.**\n43 And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.\n44 But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God.\n45 And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.\n46 Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles.\n47 For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.\n48 And the Gentiles hearing it, were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting, believed.\n49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country.\n50 But the Jews stirred up religious and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas: and cast them out of their coasts.\n51 But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.\n52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you pinpoint the book and chapter of \"Vanity of vanities, said Ecclesiastes, and all things are vanity.\" for me?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you've got in mind is from *Ecclesiastes*, chapter *12*.\n\nHere's the full rundown of the chapter:\n*Ecclesiastes Chapter 12*\n1 Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the time of affliction come, and the years draw nigh of which thou shalt say: They please me not:\n2 Before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars be darkened, and the clouds return after the rain:\n3 When the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall stagger, and the grinders shall be idle in a small number, and they that look through the holes shall be darkened:\n4 And they shall shut the doors in the street, when the grinder's voice shall be low, and they shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall grow deaf.\n5 And they shall fear high things, and they shall be afraid in the way, the almond tree shall flourish, the locust shall be made fat, and the caper tree shall be destroyed: because man shall go into the house of his eternity, and the mourners shall go round about in the street.\n6 Before the silver cord be broken, and the golden fillet shrink back, and the pitcher be crushed at the fountain, and the wheel be broken upon the cistern,\n7 And the dust return into its earth, from whence it was, and the spirit return to God, who gave it.\n**8 Vanity of vanities, said Ecclesiastes, and all things are vanity.**\n9 And whereas Ecclesiastes was very wise, he taught the people, and declared the things that he had done: and seeking out, he set forth many parables.\n10 He sought profitable words, and wrote words most right, and full of truth.\n11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails deeply fastened in, which by the counsel of masters are given from one shepherd.\n12 More than these, my son, require not.

the Lord God: Because the enemy hath said of you: Aha, the everlasting heights are given to us for an inheritance.\n3 Therefore prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Because you have been desolate, and trodden under foot on every side, and made an inheritance to the rest of the nations, and are become the subject of the talk, and the reproach of the people:\n4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the brooks, and to the valleys, and to desolate places, and ruinous walls, and to the cities that are forsaken, that are spoiled, and derided by the rest of the nations round about.\n5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal I have spoken of the rest of the nations, and of all Edom, who have taken my land to themselves, for an inheritance with joy, and with all the heart, and with the mind: and have cast it out to lay it waste.\n6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I have spoken in my zeal, and in my indignation, because you have borne the shame of the Gentiles.\n7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, that the Gentiles who are round about you, shall themselves bear their shame.\n**8 But as for you, O mountains of Israel, shoot ye forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel: for they are at hand to come.**\n9 For lo I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be ploughed and sown.\n10 And I will multiply men upon you, and all the house of Israel: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be repaired.\n11 And I will make you abound with men and with beasts: and they shall be multiplied, and increased: and I will settle you as from the beginning, and will give you greater gifts, than you had from the beginning: and you shall know that I am the Lord.\n12 And I will bring men upon you, my people Israel, and they shall possess thee for their inheritance: and thou shalt be their inheritance, and shalt no more henceforth be without them.\n13 Thus saith the Lord God: Because they say of you: Thou art a devourer of men, and one that suffocatest thy nation:\n14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, nor destroy thy nation any more, saith the Lord God:\n15 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the nations any more, nor shalt thou bear the reproach of the people, nor lose thy nation any more, saith the Lord God.\n16 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:\n17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it with their ways, and with their doings: their way was before me like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.\n18 And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it.\n19 And I scattered them among the nations, and they are dispersed through the countries: I have judged them according to their ways, and their devices.\n20 And when they entered among the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them: This is the people of the Lord, and they are come forth out of his land.\n21 And I have regarded my own holy name, which the house of Israel hath profaned among the nations to which they went in.\n22 Therefore thou shalt say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: It is not for your sake that I will do this, O house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which you have profaned among the nations whither you went.\n23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.\n24 For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.\n25 And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.\n26 And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.\n27 And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them.\n28 And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.\n29 And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you.\n30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you bear no more the reproach of famine among the nations.\n31 And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall displease you.\n32 It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God, be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house of Israel.\n33 Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and shall repair the ruinous places,\n34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in the sight of all that passed by,\n35 They shall say: This land that was untilled is become as a garden of pleasure: and the cities that were abandoned, and desolate, and destroyed, are peopled and fenced.\n36 And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it.\n37 Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men,\n38 As a holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts: so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What

Who can forgive sins, but God only?\n8 Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit, that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your hearts?\n9 Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk?\n10 But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)\n11 I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.\n12 And immediately he arose; and taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all; so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like.\n13 And he went forth again to the sea side; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.\n14 And when he was passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the receipt of custom; and he saith to him: Follow me.

For I came not to call the just, but sinners.\n18 And the disciples of John and the Pharisees used to fast; and they come and say to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast; but thy disciples do not fast?\n19 And Jesus saith to them: Can the children of the marriage fast, as long as the bridegroom is with them?

surnamed the Illustrious, came up and took Ptolemais, and they received him, and he reigned there.\n2 And king Demetrius heard of it, and gathered together an exceeding great army, and went forth against him to fight.\n3 And Demetrius sent a letter to Jonathan with peaceable words, to magnify him.\n4 For he said: Let us first make a peace with him, before he make one with Alexander against us.\n5 For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation.\n6 And he gave him authority to gather together an army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him.\n7 And Jonathan came to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the hearing of all the people, and of them that were in the castle.\n8 And they were struck with great fear, because they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an army.\n9 And the hostages were delivered to Jonathan, and he restored them to their parents.\n10 And Jonathan dwelt in Jerusalem, and began to build, and to repair the city.\n11 And he ordered workmen to build the walls, and mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification: and so they did.\n12 And the strangers that were in the strong holds, which Bacchides had built, fled away.\n13 And every man left his place, and departed into his own country:\n14 Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them.\n15 And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he, and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured.\n16 And he said: Shall we find such another man? now therefore we will make him our friend and our confederate.\n17 So he wrote a letter, and sent it to him according to these words, saying:\n18 King Alexander to his brother Jonathan, greeting.\n19 We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and fit to be our friend:\n20 Now therefore we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold,) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us.\n21 Then Jonathan put on the holy vestment in the seventh month, in the year one hundred and threescore, at the feast day of the tabernacles: and he gathered together an army, and made a great number of arms.\n22 And Demetrius heard these words, and was exceeding sorry, and said:\n23 What is this that we have done, that Alexander hath prevented us to gain the friendship of the Jews to strengthen himself?\n24 I also will write to them words of request, and offer dignities, and gifts: that they may be with me to aid me.\n25 And he wrote to them in these words: King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews, greeting.\n26 Whereas you have kept covenant with us, and have continued in our friendship, and have not joined with our enemies, we have heard of it, and are glad.\n27 Wherefore now continue still to keep fidelity towards us, and we will reward you with good things, for what you have done in our behalf.\n28 And we will remit to you many charges, and will give you gifts.\n29 And now I free you, and all the Jews from tributes, and I release you from the customs of salt, and remit the crowns, and the thirds of the seed:\n30 And the half of the fruit of trees, which is my share, I leave to you from this day forward, so that it shall not be taken of the land of Juda, and of the three cities that are added thereto out of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth and for ever:\n31 And let Jerusalem be holy and free, with the borders thereof: and let the tenths, and tributes be for itself.\n32 I yield up also the power of the castle that is in Jerusalem, and I give it to the high priest, to place therein such men as he shall choose to keep it.\n33 And every soul of the Jews that hath been carried captive from the land of Juda in all my kingdom, I set at liberty freely, that all be discharged from tributes even of their cattle.\n34 And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom:\n35 And no man shall have power to do any thing against them, or to molest any of them, in any cause.\n36 And let there be enrolled in the king's army to the number of thirty thousand of the Jews: and allowance shall be made them as is due to all the king's forces, and certain of them shall be appointed to be in the fortresses of the great king:\n37 And some of them shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, that are of trust, and let the governors be taken from among themselves, and let them walk in their own laws, as the king hath commanded in the land of Juda.\n38 And the three cities that are added to Judea, out of the country of Samaria, let them be accounted with Judea: that they may be under one, and obey no other authority but that of the high priest:\n39 Ptolemais, and the confines thereof, I give as a free gift to the holy places, that are in Jerusalem, for the necessary charges of the holy things.\n40 And I give every year fifteen thousand sicles of silver out of the king's accounts, of what belongs to me:\n41 And all that is above, which they that were over the affairs the years before, had not paid, from this time they shall give it to the works of the house.\n42 Moreover the five thousand sicles of silver which they received from the account of the holy places, every year, shall also belong to the priests that execute the ministry.\n43 And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free.\n44 For the building also, or repairing the works of the holy places, the charges shall be given out of the king's revenues:\n45 For the building also of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, the charges shall be given out of the king's account, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.\n46 Now when Jonathan, and the people heard these words, they gave no credit to them nor received them: because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel, for he had afflicted them exceedingly.\n47 And their inclinations were towards Alexander, because he had been the chief promoter of peace in their regard, and him they always helped.\n48 And king Alexander gathered together a great army, and moved his camp near to Demetrius.\n49 And the two kings joined battle, and the army of Demetrius fled away, and Alexander pursued after him, and pressed them close.\n50 And the battle was hard fought till the sun went down: and Demetrius was slain that day.\n51 And Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt, with words to this effect, saying:\n52 Forasmuch as I am returned into my kingdom, and am set in the throne of my ancestors and have gotten the dominion, and have overthrown Demetrius, and possessed our country,\n53 And have joined battle with him, and both he and his army have been destroyed by us, and we are placed in the throne of his kingdom:\n54 Now therefore let us make friendship one with another: and give me now thy daughter to wife, and I will be thy son in law, and I will give both thee and her gifts worthy of thee.\n55 And king Ptolemee answered, saying: Happy is the day wherein thou didst return to the land of thy fathers, and sattest in the throne of their kingdom.\n56 And now I will do to thee as thou hast written: but meet me at Ptolemais, that we may see one another, and I may give her to thee as thou hast said.\n57 So Ptolemee went out of Egypt, with Cleopatra his daughter, and he came to Ptolemais in the hundred and sixty-second year.\n58 And king Alexander met him, and he gave him his daughter Cleopatra: and he celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais, with great glory, after the manner of kings.\n59 And king Alexander wrote to Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.\n60 And he went honourably to Ptolemais, and he met there the two kings, and he gave them much silver, and gold, and presents: and he found favour in their sight.\n61 And some pestilent men of Israel, men of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him to accuse him: and the king gave no heed to them.\n62 And he commanded that Jonathan's garments should be taken off, and that he should be clothed with purple: and they did so. And the king made him sit by himself.\n63 And he said to his princes: Go out with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.\n64 So when his accusers saw his glory proclaimed, and him clothed with purple, they all fled away.\n65 And the king magnified him, and enrolled him amongst his chief friends, and made him governor and partaker of his dominion.\n66 And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with peace and joy.\n67 In the year one hundred and sixty-five Demetrius the son of Demetrius came from Crete into the land of his fathers.\n68 And king Alexander heard of it, and was much troubled, and returned to Antioch.\n69 And king Demetrius made Apollonius his general, who was governor of Celesyria: and he gathered together a great army, and came to Jamnia: and he sent to Jonathan the high priest,\n70 Saying: Thou alone standest against us, and I am laughed at, and reproached, because thou shewest thy power against us in the mountains.\n71 Now therefore if thou trustest in thy forces, come down to us into the plain, and there let us try one another: for with me is the strength of war.\n72 Ask, and learn who I am, and the rest that help me, who also say that your foot cannot stand before our face, for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land:\n73 And now how wilt thou be able to abide the horsemen, and so great an army in the plain, where there is no stone, nor rock, nor place to flee to?\n74 Now when Jonathan heard the words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind: and he chose ten thousand men, and went out of Jerusalem, and Simon his brother met him to help him.\n75 And they pitched their tents near Joppe, but they shut him out of the city: because a garrison of Apollonius was in Joppe, and he laid siege to it.\n76 And they that were in the city being affrighted, opened the gates to him: so Jonathan took Joppe.\n77 And Apollonius heard of it, and he took three thousand horsemen, and a great army.\n78 And he went to Azotus as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle.\n79 And Apollonius left privately in the camp a thousand horsemen behind them.\n80 And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush behind him, and they surrounded his army, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening.\n81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so their horses were fatigued.\n82 Then Simon drew forth his army, and attacked the legion: for the horsemen were wearied: and they were discomfited by him, and fled.\n83 And they that were scattered about the plain, fled into Azotus, and went into Bethdagon their idol's temple, there to save themselves.\n**84 But Jonathan set fire to Azotus, and the cities that were around it, and took the spoils of them, and the temple of Dagon: and all them that were fled into it, he burnt with fire.**\n85 So they that were slain by the sword, with them that were burnt, were almost eight thousand men.\n86 And Jonathan removed his army from thence, and camped against Ascalon: and they went out of the city to meet him with great honour.\n87 And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with his people, having many spoils.\n88 And it came to pass: When Alexander the king heard these words, that he honoured Jonathan yet more.\n89 And he sent him a buckle of gold, as the custom is, to be given to such as are of the royal blood.

And he saith to them: Behold the Man.\n6 When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants, had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him.\n7 The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.\n8 When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared the more.\n9 And he entered into the hall again, and he said to Jesus: Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.\n10 Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee?\n11 Jesus answered: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered me to thee, hath the greater sin.\n12 And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Caesar.\n13 Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha.\n14 And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews: Behold your king.\n15 But they cried out: Away with him; away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.\n16 Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him forth.\n17 And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha.\n18 Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.\n19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.\n20 This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.\n21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am the King of the Jews.\n22 Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written.\n23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part,) and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.\n24 They said then one to another: Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lots. And the soldiers indeed did these things.\n25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.\n26 When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.\n27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.\n28 Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst.\n29 Now there was a vessel set there full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar and hyssop, put it to his mouth.\n30 Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.\n31 Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve,) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.\n**32 The soldiers therefore came; and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.**\n33 But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.\n34 But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.\n35 And he that saw it, hath given testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; that you also may believe.\n36 For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him.\n37 And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced.\n38 And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.\n39 And Nicodemus also came, (he who at the first came to Jesus by night,) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.\n40 They took therefore the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.\n41 Now there was in the place where he was crucified, a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid.\n42 There, therefore, because of the parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus, because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The quote \"And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails.\" is from Judges 15:4 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where in the bible does it say \"Dread and horror seized upon their minds, lest he should do the same to Jerusalem and to the temple of the Lord, that he had done to other cities and their temples.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You can find \"Dread and horror seized upon their minds, lest he should do the same to Jerusalem and to the temple of the Lord, that he had done to other cities and their temples.\" in the Old Testament, specifically in Judith 4:2.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Find and read Matthew chapter 9, verse 29", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From Matthew chapter 9, verse 29, New Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "In what book, at what chapter and verse, does \"And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me: Seal up the things which the seven thunders have spoken; and write them not.\" appear?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the book of Revelation, chapter 10, verse 4 of the New Testament, you'll find \"And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me: Seal up the things which the seven thunders have spoken; and write them not.\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that did fly through the midst of heaven: Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God:\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You can find \"And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that did fly through the midst of heaven: Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God:\" in the New Testament, specifically in Revelation 19:17.", "role": "assistant" } ]
